If you don’t mind me asking, what type of yandere do you think Ukraine would be?
That is a very good question. I'll shall use one of the sheets to get to the bottom of this.
As I've said with the Russia character sheet - ongoing world events are not to be addressed here. I'll delete the comments/asks of anybody who does. This is about low-budget anime characters in a dark romance setting, not about politics.
Yandere Character Sheet I - 1p! Ukraine (Kateryna Chenko)
Trigger warnings: social isolation, delusions, manipulation, gaslighting, guilt-tripping, medical malpractice,
Attributes - What sort of Yandere is he/she?
Katernya would be of the smothering sort yandere. You'd be constantly observed and berated and given unsolicited advice. In her eyes, you wouldn't be capable of handling your own life, which is why you would need her to manage you. Micromanaging would become the norm, and she would constantly try to spend time with you. What's more, she would severely curtail your freedoms and hobbies - you would be made to live her lifestyle, and only engage in the leisure activities that she adores. Your wants and needs would be swept aside if they wouldn't align or overlap with her's. Additionally, she would shy away from being stern and even wrathful should you stray from the sanctioned path. After all, she would know what is best for you, and what else would be in your best interest other than to copy her way of life? Surely with all her maternal wisdom and life experience she would have already selected the best path and all that you'd have to do would be to emulate her?
Another matter would be how her possessiveness would manifest. Katernya would feel completely entitled to you, be it your time, your affection or even your secrets. Should you want to spend less time with her in order to give your attention to family or also friends, it would be met with incomprehension. You should be at her beck and call at all times. When she'd tell you to jump, the correct response would be to ask how high. Early on in the relationship, she would start isolating you from your loved ones. Spending more time with her, devoting more attention to her would be regarded as self-evident and she would become clingy and demanding should you not be of the same opinion.
Tieing into the two form aspects would be how delusional she'd be regarding the whole relationship. Fate would have already dictated that the two of you must be together and to resist would be worse than heresy - it would be a crime against the laws of nature. Love for each other would be a given, so all that would be left would be to seamlessly slot in one another’s lives (though it would be more her assimilating you into her life than anything else) and then live happily ever after. Resistance from your side would be seen as insanity, and she would therefore then treat you like an invalid.
Underneath it all, she would be jaded, however. With everything that she’s been through, she would regard being in a relationship as her god given right and she would just want to settle down with you and live a simple life. She would be wary of you trying to escape, or of you being unhappy with her, so she would bury it down, just as much as it would set her off. Registering your resistance would happen on a more subconscious scale, therefore, and she wouldn’t be fully cognisant of her actions. It would be impulsive and convoluted even to herself. Likewise, she would fear somebody else trying to steal you from her - this would be one of her fears that she would be more open about. Social isolation on your part would also start with her expressing her observations about your friends, of all their faults and rough edges.
Katernya would be secretive - to you, to the people around you and even towards herself. Deep down, there would be the academical awareness of the wrongness of her actions. She would become skilled in ignoring this as time would pass, especially if there would be nobody to obstruct her deeds. In a relationship with you, she would be inclined to keep you in the dark about many of her actions, in particular her more unsavoury one. Meanwhile, she would demand full information on all yours. In terms of the dynamics of your relationship - she would have a tendency to sweep the more unpleasant stuff under the rug. This would be one of the reasons it would take a long time for you to recognise her true colours. Ths would also be a manifestation of Katernya’s yearning for a carefree life, for an idyll without any problems.
Cornering - How would they get you?
With the promise of a better life. She'd do her best to perfect the picture of a rural idyll, make it seem like living in the country would be paradise on earth. And that she would choose you to share this life with her because you're so special. Perhaps she would even make you prove yourself through performing feats of competence or labours to display your loyalty to her. The logic behind this would be once you'd have to pay to be by her side through blood, sweat and tears, then you'd be less inclined to leave her once the going would become rough.
On top of that, she would gradually sever your social bonds and find ways to absolve you of any obligations that don't solely involve her. Meanwhile, she would present herself as your saviour, and convince you to let her handle all your tedious tasks. By the time she would be finished, life without her would be unthinkable, perhaps even impossible. There would then be no need to fear you running away then.
Expectations - What do they expect of you?
On one side, you would be expected to be pliant and tender. Just for her, mind you - she would seeth at the thought of you being that way to somebody else. No, you must be like a spring lamb with Katernya, something cute that she could dote on and show off, the brightest jewel in her crown. She would make paintings of you, knit socks and tailor clothes for you. Domestic bliss is something she'd want with you, and domestic bliss is what she'd get. Perhaps she would have to cut parts of you away and bolster others for you to fit this fantasy, yet it would be all worthwhile in her eyes.
Accompanying that would be the demand for you to be vulnerable with her. She would want to be privy to all your secrets, be confided in all your problems. Furthermore, it wouldn't be enough to know of all that, she would want to hear it directly from you. In the case of you displaying hesitance, then she wouldn't be as kind as not to provide … incentive. Likewise, she would love playing nurse for you - tending your wounds, nursing you back to health and giving you medicine. It would be the perfect bonding experience in her eyes, and also a way to make you love her … but more to that later.
Reliance on her would be important. She would have been betrayed and hurt so often in the past, filled with sweet words only to discover them hollow. As such, she would need assurances that you wouldn't leave her lying in the dust on a whim, best in a tangible form or in the shape of negative consequences. Or through you having invested so much, or paid so much to be with her, that you would shy away from even thinking about abandoning her. Eitherway, when it wouldn't be all sunshine and rainbows, you should have a good reason to stay, aside from notions of love. Additionally, these should also hinder you from acting against her.
However, she would also desire for you to act as her protector and benefactor. While she would be no stranger to hard work, there would be something so enticing about not having to throw her back out and being able enjoy the finer things in life. This would come coupled with a habit of overindulgence and somewhat wayward priorities. Here, she might pull at your heart strings so that you'd help her. Once you are in the same boat as her, you'd have all the more reason to come to her aid.
Honestly, she would also prefer it if you wouldn't question her. Since she would know what is best for you, it would frustrate her to no end should you push back. Likewise, she wouldn't be really tolerant of any talking back. Requirements are to be met swiftly, and without any protest. While she might sometimes go out of her way to explain her reasons to you (in a condescending manner), it wouldn't be a given. Preserving her kind image to you would be one of the reasons behind this behaviour. And to make sure you have less information to formulate an escape plan, once the cat is out of the bag.
Faded - Would they let go of you in any way?
She would tell everybody worth their salt that she would never, ever let you go. Very unrealistic however, since there would be circumstances where she would.
One of these would be if she would be too absorbed with other matters. It would give you a large enough window of opportunity to slip away. She also wouldn’t be able to devote as much time and resources to retrieving you as she would like to. Chances are that a lot of blood and treasure would be devoted to the crisis at hand and that she therefore wouldn’t be able to hunt you down to begin with. With so many other problems taking up her time and energy, she might even forget you for some time.
Another option would be if she just wouldn’t have the means to take care of you. Of course, you would be a great source of comfort in hard times, yet she wouldn’t be willing to keep you with her if that would mean starving or also having nothing to wear. Besides, she wouldn’t want to be weak in front of you. Appearances of weakness wouldn’t disturb her, since it would have the benefit of you underestimating her, and being unlikely to deem her dangerous. Actually being weak and being seen as such would be a completely different story for her.
Punishment - How would they proceed if you do something they disapprove of?
Here is the category where Katernya would be especially devious. One method of her’s would be to drain a litre of your blood every once in a while. You would be very weak afterwards, as you would have to expend energy to regenerate the lost blood. Thus, you would be completely dependent on her. In your delirious state, you would be more likely to spill the beans on your secrets and you would be more malleable, more open to her influences. Your clumsiness would be cute in her eyes and she would use any accidents or mishaps that would happen to blackmail or guilt trip you. It would also be a boon, since she wouldn’t have to keep an eye on you to prevent you from escaping.
She might go even further and break bones, only to go through the arduous task of mending them again. Furthermore, things like hypothermia , burns and deliriousness might be purposefully induced from her, so that she could fuss over and put you in your place at the same time. Should you be of the anxious sort, then she might spring a diagnosis on you and watch as you would dissolve into tears or start worrying. And still, she might even use this as an excuse to execute deep lifestyle changes, like cutting your hair, changing your diet or severely altering your activities.
Humiliation would be another favourite of hers - laying you over her lap and spanking you would even be fun for her and it wouldn’t take much for her to bend you over. Something else that she would do, would be to tie you to a pole or a post and make you remain there for a day or two. The helplessness would result in you feeling closer to her, and being more grateful for her affection, or not?
Or, she would simply ignore you and your needs. You would probably really notice the breadth of her love and commitment in the sudden absence of it. Indeed, if she would be feeling very wronged, then she would even make fun of you for your plights, perhaps even blame you for them. She would have you begging her to be kind again, have you demonstrate your sincerity on your hands and knees.
Reaction - How would they react to you escaping?
Worry, and in her worry, she would become furious. You would just be a lost little lamb, and without her shining light to guide you in the darkness, you would end up with the wolves. She would hastily call her compatriots to action and have aid her in this retrieval. In the commotion, you might even stand a better chance of slipping away.
Beware of being caught though - what would follow would be a lengthy berating and one of the punishments from the section above. Above all, you would have privileges revoked and it would take a long time to regain even a fraction of the trust you had squandered with that stunt. She would most likely keep you under lock and key; perhaps even put you in a straightjacket so that you could contemplate your wrong-doings in peace.
Turnabout - Scenario: You have the upper hand? What would be different from their usual MO?
If you wouldn’t be cognisant of the whole matter, then nothing much would change. Katernya would largely operate on the level of emotional manipulation and psychological tricks and as long as those would hold, she would see the need to change her MO. There wouldn’t be the need to change her methods. Should you successfully rebel, then that would be a different story.
Then she would call on the help of others to bring you down and teach you your place in the pecking order.
Vengeance - What would they do in the face of competition?
On a large part, she would focus on keeping you to herself above keeping other people out of the picture. It would be easier to focus and conserve energy that way, by only focusing on you and your opinions instead of also being on the lookout.
Should it come to competition - she might take matters in her own hand, such as by slandering them and making them socially isolated. She would have them sacked, and ostracised from their family, with even the authorities turning away should they try to seek help. If she would be feeling particularly spiteful, then she would visit them personally and have a thorough talking to with them.
Other than that, she might pay some hooligans to beat them up, have them robbed blind or even conveniently make them disappear. The options would be endless, and it would only be limited by money and the creativity of Katernya and her mooks.
