User:Jetscream/My Fan-verse/Characters/Yumi Masuko

is a fancharacter from the manga series Negima!: Magister Negi Magi, created by Ken Akamatsu. Born in Kyoto, she works as a shrinesmaiden at the Kamo Shrine where she briefly met Kensuke for the first time, with the result of a pactio.

Personality
A somewhat laid back slacker, Yumi does care deeply for her work at the shrine. There is however one other thing in her life - she is totally sold for martial arts movies. Be it the latest Jet Li movie or something else, she's seen it already. This was somewhat of a surprise to Kensuke as he found it out, as he too is interested in martial arts.

Yumi is often seen sweeping the temple grounds or sitting in front of the television, watching the latest Kung Fu flick or rummaging through her artifact's copy of the Art of War.

Character Design
The original grouping named Kensuke’s wife as the slacker, but then she was given the “Naru” role instead, and “The Slacker” went to a fourth character instead – and Yumi Masuko was born. The miko angle was partially inspired by Rei Hino of Sailor Moon fame.

Abilities

 * Pactio: Proeliator Encyclopedia: A book that displays all kinds of info about your enemy. It works in a similar way to the Diarum Ejus; the user must know the opponent's name, then the book will display Strengths, Weaknesses and sometimes even the recommended way to take him down. It can also summon the Seven Military Classics.


 * Magical Abilities: As a Miko, Yumi has been trained to detect and exorcise low- to middle-class demons and other occult beings. She is currently studying to become a Pactio broker, and has shown great talent in simple magic exercises, like the beginner spell ardescat.


 * Martial Arts Knowledge: Like Kensuke, she can identify a technique just by observing the practitioner fight, and come up with countermeasures in the blink of an eye.

Trivia

 * Due to her training, she was the first in the group to notice Sayo before she introduced herself to them when they visited Mahora Academy. They were aware of Evangeline though.
 * After successfully getting a job as a pactio broker, she is now quite well known amongst the magical community and has about 200-250 customers a month.
