Seems like this was a long time coming. I just do not have the time to play SK anymore. Sorry to those I wish I invested more time in... I hope those that did know her enjoyed who she was.
Maybe I will come back someday and play with everyone again!
I'm not going to bother with much skills or spells since Yukiko was never a fighter, but I will give you her story ~
Your gaze falls upon a snowy female elf looking to be about 5'6". Her slender yet curved build matches her effeminate complexion. Silvery hair streaked with natural blonde highlights flow gracefully to about shoulder length. Her soft sapphire eyes gaze from her gentle face, marred by only a single curved and faded scar by her right ear, partially obscurred by her hair. The same ear is slightly scarred, a portion looks as if it were bitten off. You also notice on her right hand that her fourth finger is partially missing, only enough of the finger remains to wear a ring. Still her beauty is breath taking yet subtle as she carries herself with an uncanny grace.

History:
The daughter of a pair of rather adventerous Sylvar elves, Yukiko's parents were ambassadors serving the Ayamaoan Alliance and its interests abroad. Mainly her parents served in their capacity in the Zhenshi lands near Nerina, though they occasionally took trips elsewhere such as the Empire of the Bright Star or the North. For the most part, young Yukiko stayed in the protection of the Tree, only occasionally joining her parents in travel. Even with her limited exposure as a youth, she was witness to many more perspectives than the normal Sylvar elf that stayed in the confines of the Great Tree of Sith'a'niel. Practicing the basics of clerical service, Yukiko was unsure of where her path would lead her in life. During one such trip she took with her family near the border of the Empire, a desperate beggar took her by surprised and held her hostage, asking her parents and their escorts for all of their belongings. Sensing the desperation in the heart of the beggar, Yukiko asked her family to forgive the man and just hand over their possessions for he had a Light, if not horribly desperate heart. The man, relaxing from her kindness accidently nicked Yukiko's face below her right ear. Seeing his daughter's blood sent Yukiko's father into a rage and he lept at the man throwing Yukiko from further harm. Unfortunately the beggar got the better of the elven man and took his life. He was brought to "justice" or whatever that now meant to poor Yukiko. Her mother soon died after as her travels were too much to bear without her life mate and she succumbed to sickness. Now an orphan, Yukiko decided to devote herself toward a path of non-violence and the mission of solving problems through kindness and other diplomatic means. Even so, these events left more than just the physical scar upon her as she began to rethink her impressions of the world. It was the Shining One that finally grasped her soul and guided it to an enlightened path. The soothing Song of the Nightingale provided Yukiko the comfort and faith she always searched for and her goal as her own adventures began were to spread this harmony to others.
During her adventuring life, she was named High Priestess very early on when she was only 104 years old. She also tried to take a very balanced view on people and as such made many friends early on that might have seemed unexpected. About 10 years later she fell into cohorts with the Druids as they seemed to have a very similar view on the balance of the world as she, herself, wanted to hold. But before her joining became official, her affiliations with those of darker hearts got her into trouble at with her Blessed One and she went on a length journey of atonement. This journey ended with a harsh lesson being doled out by Gienah, the High Priestess of Sadr. It was through this experience that the Shining One felt that Yukiko had learned her lesson and brought her back to the mortal coil.
Outside of this the rest is known history, at least to those that knew her. I wish I could take the time to fully explain all of her choices in life, I think they were rather interesting from the internal perspective. She made some mistakes and some good friends along the way. But thank you to those that helped her and to those that made her life interesting! You know who you are.
Special Thanks to Meissa for being such a fun patron IMM when we could work together.
Thanks to Hagrel, Gienah, Veret, Syrina for the great roleplaying when we ran into each other. And to the faith of Meissa, especially early on when we were strong in numbers! Take care and to those I didn't list but knew, thank you, I just ran out of time to make this post, I swear!
P.S. Gienah, you are welcome to post that log if you want to add to how Yukiko lost her finger and ear!
