My Bio
Long ago, there was a divinely talented poet in Gensokyo. He loved nature and spent most of his time traveling. When he became aware that the hour of his death drew near, he chose to begin his eternal rest under the most beautiful cherry tree he could find..
That cherry tree has grown even more beautiful since then, charming many people into resting in peace beneath its blossoms. The tree with the mortuary charm developed the powers of a youkai after a while.
A thousand years have passed.
In the garden of the Saigyouji clan, there exists a youkai cherry blossom with a story behind it; it is called the Saigyou Ayakashi. For as long as Yuyuko had been there, this cherry tree has never bloomed, even in spring.
One day, while browsing through the library as usual, Yuyuko found an old record. It looked so old that it was practically ageless; within it, the following was written...
"The girl who bears witness to death, at the time of the Saigyou Ayakashi's full bloom, shall be bound by mortality. So that her soul may rest in peace within Hakugyokurou, I will seal the cherry blossoms, and make it the barrier. My wish... is that she will never again reincarnate, and never again suffer pain..."
Yuyuko had read that breaking the seal on the Saigyou Ayakashi, making it bloom fully, would cause someone to be resurrected; she started gathering spring's essence out of curiosity.
Basically, almost everything in the netherworld exists as ghosts with no physical body. It is for that reason that she wondered about the corpse lying under the Saigyou Ayakashi with great interest, going as far as to consider breaking the seal. Her ability only enables her to bring death. Bringing life to something already dead would be a first.
Thanks to an all-out effort put forth by Youmu, the gardener, every cherry blossom bloomed perfectly; every cherry blossom except for the Saigyou Ayakashi, which still bordered on blooming. By that point, Gensokyo's spring had almost been completely drained.
No one would have imagined that a living human, bearing a tiny drop of spring, would visit.
A battle for that last remaining bit of spring ensued...
Perhaps it was because of her carefree afterlife, or maybe the record had aged beyond recognition, but Yuyuko ultimately failed to realize that the girl who was written about in the record... was herself.
In the beginning, Yuyuko was only able to control some dead spirits. Unconsciously, that power grew stronger, eventually becoming the ability to invoke death. Terrified by her own ability, she commited suicide.
After becoming a ghost, she thoroughly forgot everything about the time she was alive, and started to enjoy being able to invoke death.
The reason Yuyuko can neither reincarnate nor vanish is because of the seal on the Saigyou Ayakashi. Once the boundary is breached, the time that was frozen will continue to flow, resulting in her death again. Reviving the corpse will destroy Yuyuko's ghost, so it's no wonder that the near-success of the revival ended in inevitable failure.
Yuyuko is only able to bring death after all.
The only person who knew the whole story, Youki Konpaku, grew slowly older due to the nature of half-humans, and disappeared with the belief that Youmu could inherit the truth about Yuyuko.
For all time, Yuyuko will remain as the princess of Netherworld and mistress of long-dead Saigyouji clan.
She shall never bear witness to the blooming of the Saigyou Ayakashi...

During my time of dire moments, as in, my phobia, working and so on...
I've been invited to become the co-founder of a dear friend's roleplay group.
My activity shall be scarce and scattered, but I will still be here, my promises.
Signed, Yuyuko Saigyouji

My oh my, has it been little over a month? I suppose immense drama is an assisting factor of cutting away time.
I sincerely apologize for my absence, I shan't be gone much longer. Adjustments are needed within my schedule, but
I appreciate my dearest friends' patience with me. I, also, ask for your forgiveness from my lack of activity.
Thank you, and take care.

"Yuyuko~ Yuyuko~" A tear opens in the air, dozens of eyes staring out in all directions. Looking at everything, (perhaps even you at the computer) as a woman with long blonde hair and a white ruffled dress with a purple over dress emerges from the gap. "Ah... Yuyuko... Are you around? I brought some exquisite sake~"

Someone once said that these two women could turn the entire world into a whimsical wonderland together. That in itself was a perfect summary of their bond; both women were incredibly playful after all... As she would appear through her portal of delicious mystery, the ghastly maiden would take her hide. She awaited until the violet lady's back was turned before leaping out from behind a rock. "Yukariii~!" She called out with glee as she pounce onto her cherished friend. "I am always around; especially when you show up with sake~..." In reality, she was saying, 'I'm never busy when you want to stop for a visit'.

Speaking of pouncing.

Welcome welcome, dear~

"Oof!" With a yelp, Yukari fell to the ground as she was tackled from behind. Had it been anyone else, Yukari would have simply opened another gap to avoid it, but not for her dear friend Yuyuko. "Ah, Yuyuko~ It's so good to see you as always, and to know you're in high spirits." She chuckles at her lame pun. Gently pushing Yuyuko off of her, Yukari gives her friend a hug and light kiss on the cheek. "Never change Yuyuko, never change." A somewhat sad, yet graceful smile appeared on the gap youkai's face as she took a seat on the porch of Yuyuko's mansion. "Now then, I must know everything you've been up to since I've been away."

[[Didn't get to say good night properly the other day, you seemed to be in a hurry. Hope everything is okay for you.]]

Do forgive me, an emergency predicament had turned up from nowhere. Alas, it appears to have calmed to a more moderate situation.

[[Well it's good to hear that things are okay now for you. ^_^]]
While navigating through Hakugyokurou, Yuuka had noticed a lovely row of flowers that had surrounded the shrine. There were a variety of types planted, sunflowers, daisies, roses and more. She saw a ghost princess sitting on the veranda (( Is there one there? )) and decided to go talk to her, unaware of the fact that she does not take care of the flowers. "A lovely garden that you have there, miss." she said.
