Biography
Born planetside on Venus to a family of machinists in the suburbs of Mullin, most of Yula’s childhood was spent roaming the planet’s arid landscape in search of machine parts. Upon collecting enough, she would rebuild them into working devices, mostly toys that she would then keep or give away to her friends. Life planetside was difficult, but her parents were capable enough to give their children a proper education, despite difficulties. All was going well for the Vesperian girl, until one fateful day when she was only thirteen years old. While scavenging for parts to repair Pip, she reached a hill overlooking the deserted Venusian landscape. By chance, she had looked up at the artificial sky, just as a particularly strong solar flare hit the planet. Lacking any sort of protective equipment, the last thing that Yula saw was a flash of the Venusian sky, completely enveloping her field of vision before she blacked out.

Due to the incident, her parents decided to move their family to Adam-3, to ensure that a similar event would not happen again. Waking up to discover that she had been blinded, it took some time for the Vesper girl to adjust to the darkness. It was around this time that she took up song, In hopes that it would alleviate the grief from losing the ability to see. People soon discovered that the girl had a rather soothing voice, and she would find herself requested to perform for friends or family every now and then. She soon began to gain popularity within the years, first with her neighbors, then in her sector, and finally, in the entire colony. By the time she was 20, Yula already had a healthy amount of followers, and she had already composed her first album.

Now an established singer in Vesper space, Yula plans to bring her talents to both Earthlings and Martians. After years of hard work, Yula had finally earned enough popularity to be able to perform in Helius-4, marking her debut as an interplanetary singer.

Physical Appearance
About 5’7 in height and only slightly tanned, Yula’s Venusian origins are clear for everyone to see. Her long, wavy, sandy blond hair is usually kept in a low ponytail, with long bangs on each side of her face. Her most noticeable features are her hazel colored eyes, glazed and empty, alluding to her blindness.

As a way to build up her reputation and uplift Venusian culture in the eyes of the other planets and colonies, Yula has adopted her own style of fashion, similar to the desert robes that planetside Vespers wear. A long, flowing robe that falls down to just below her knees, parting in the middle for ease of movement when she walks. The exterior is colored a deep shade of blue, while the robe’s interior is a transparent black, peeking out of both her loose sleeves and jagged skirt area. Golden patterns are sewn in various parts, complementing the golden necklace and armlets she wears with the outfit. Her feet are curiously bare, except for three golden anklets she wears on her left ankle. Proud of her Vesperian heritage, Yula’s wardrobe consists mainly of clothes in the same style as her usual outfit.

Personality and Traits
Yula is first and foremost, a performer. As such, she is quite sociable, well versed in dealing with people from various planetary backgrounds. As friendly and cheerful as her blindness would allow, Yula has gained the ability to catch eyes and captivate hearts anywhere she goes. Her bubbly, borderline-ditzy personality is considered attractive by most, and has greatly contributed to the recent surge in her popularity.

While Yula projects herself as a silly, blind girl at times, she actually possesses a sharp mind and keen intellect that she hardly ever flaunts on purpose. Building robots since she was a child, Yula is quite knowledgeable in the field of robotics, despite her handicap. As long as she is able to identify what she’s working with, she can work just as well as any skilled craftsman, if not better.

Primary Combat Style
While she is a skilled robotics expert, Yula has never undergone any form of combat training in her life. As such, she can easily be taken out of a fight by something mundane, such as a mere wrist grab if an enemy were to reach her. She does however possess nano-implants that heighten her senses when faced with danger, allowing for a quick escape. In addition, she always travels with a pair of drones that have a multitude of functions, including self-defense.

Pip
Yula’s first drone, built in the form of a six-wheeled miniature rover used during the early days of space exploration. As big as a medium-sized RC car, it’s worn and mismatched gray metal plating signifies that a lot of love and hard work went into its continued operation. Created by her father to serve as a toy for her at a very young age, the little drone has since then undergone numerous modifications to make it into the device it is now. Able to create a wide array of pitches using the strings installed into its interior, Pip serves as Yula’s miniature pianist, an irreplaceable companion for her performances. It also possesses a robotic claw that is normally used to fetch items for her, although it also has enough force to injure an aggressor’s leg, or disarm an opponent, should the need arise.

Sebastian
Yula’s second drone, a more recent model capable of near permanent-flight. Round in shape and as large as a soccer ball, its polished white metal finish is more in tune with current technology. Built shortly after Yula lost her sight, Sebastian was designed to help her cope with her disability. Unlike Pip, who can only communicate with various beeps and other ambient sounds, Sebastian is capable of speech, speaking in the tone of a middle-aged butler, hence the name. In addition, it is outfitted with a portable sound system in case she has to perform in a remote area. For self defense, Sebastian can emit a bright light similar to a flashbang, blinding any potential aggressors and preventing them from pursuing.
