Traditionally, to be named heir of Urufu-ryu style, the student must be a male. She still harbored feelings of wanting to please her father, as she was worried he would disapprove of her desire to become a warrior.īorn as the only child of the Wolf-school master, Maccha, Yunomi was raised to be a lady and not a warrior. Even years later after her father's death, she still sought to train in her father's style and regretted that he had died without passing on the true secrets of the Wolf Fang Fist. Yunomi found herself trying to prove herself superior to the boys, all the while expected to learn and go about a traditional woman's duty in the home. However, Yunomi also holds a rebellious side to her, as she still sought to earn the title of heir to Wolf school from her father, even though he had taken in two boys, Yamcha and Barracks to one day fulfill that role.Īs such, she learned whatever she could, and distanced herself from the two boys. A loyal and dedicated child, much of her personality was formed by the desire to appease her father. As such, she tends to be very prim and proper, both in her appearance and mannerisms. Underneath her robes, she wears a sleeveless green gi with matching pants, with the symbol for Wolf on the front of the gi.īecause she was raised by a traditional father, Yunomi was brought up to be a lady. She wears matching colored arm-guards on her forearms, and blue boots. Her Wolf school martial arts outfit consists of a sleeveless, lavender-colored robe, tied together with a white belt. However, when training, she prefers to wear athletic clothing designed to allow her freedom of movement, such as a halter top and spandex shorts and wears her hair in a ponytail.

However, she has muscular legs and toned arms, which she achieved during her training. She has long blue hair that reaches down to her waist, blue eyes, and a busty chest. Because of this slightly porous nature, some people like to dedicate their Hagi ware to one type of tea, such as sencha, to avoid having other aromas seep into the clay.Yunomi is a beautiful, curvaceous young woman with an athletic build. Hagi ware is said to improve with age as the tannins in the tea slowly stain the fine cracks in the glaze (called crazing or kan-nyuu), creating a rich texture known as 'nanabake', or 'the 7 transformations'. The natural warm hues of its clay, along with the simple lines of its forms are highly valued within the traditional aesthetics of many tea ceremony schools.
