Height
Sena Yukimura is a popular fashion model who started his career on Instagram. He tends to be easygoing and friendly but is quite ambitious about work. Sena is willing to try new things and promises to give it his all. When off the clock, Sena enjoys going out to eat and spending time with his friends.
Sena was born into a wealthy family who raised him in the hopes of becoming the perfect heir to take over the family business. However, Sena had other plans. When his family discovered his love for fashion, they rejected him. From that day on, Sena decided to live on his own to pursue his dreams. It was a hard adjustment but as the years went on, he realized that the people that truly matter are the people who accept him for who he is.
Currently, Sena lives in a small apartment doing what he loves with the people he loves. Many exciting things have happened in his life recently. Aside from his sudden success in the modeling industry, he started dating his long time close friend, Takara Kaneko, a popular idol he used to work with. Sena has always been determined to find his own happiness and finally feels like his efforts are paying off.
personality;
Sena is outgoing and kind. He's open to befriending anyone and greets everyone with a smile and his pleasant disposition makes him a good conversationalist. He is a good listener and always wants to help his friends when they’re in a rough patch. When he senses something wrong, he’ll do everything he can to brighten their mood but not cross any boundaries. Sena has always been sensitive to the subtle changes in his friends’ and family’s moods. At times, it’s a very helpful skill. If he notices something off about one of his friends, he’s quick to do something about it. However, it’s also part of what makes him so anxious and wonder whether or not he’s done something wrong to upset those around him.
Sena's number one fear is confrontation and rejection, making it impossible for him to express his discomfort due to someone else's actions. Even when something clearly bothers him, he tries to hide it, insisting that nothing is wrong. At times, Sena has the tendency to say "yes" to just about anything in order to please the other person. While this has led to him broadening his horizons and has been beneficial for his self-discovery, it can put him in awkward situations and show him his limitations. He is actively working to gain more confidence these days.
Sena has always been a hard worker. Even when he was a child, he felt if he did not do his best, he was failing. Sena knew that chasing his dreams would be difficult but he was up for the challenge. Even now, he is continuing to push himself outside of his comfort zone in order to move forward.

story;
Childhood
Sena comes from a high class family and was raised to inherit the family business. From a young age, he was pushed to excel and thus, became isolated from his classmates. Sena spent most of his time trying to appease his parents. While he had trouble making friends with other children his age, he didn’t feel lonely. Growing up he spent a lot of his free time with his cousins even though there was quite a big age difference between the three of them. They got along well and Sena didn’t mind not having friends at school. However, that all began to change when tensions began to rise between him and his parents.
Teen Years
When he was 15, he discovered his love for fashion and the magic of social media. Sena began posting vlogs and other fashion related videos on Youtube and photos of his daily outfits on Instagram. Through the next few years, he would gradually gain popularity online as well as around school. His early years of being an influencer opened many doors for Sena and helped him find his place and his passion. He decided to take it more seriously from that point on. After his parents discovered his hobby, they tried to shut it down. This led to a fight between Sena and his parents breaking out and for a while, their relationship at home was strained. When it was about time for Sena to begin the process of taking over the family business, he said he didn't want to and was content with being a model and vlogger. However, his parents were not impressed and couldn't believe that he would "do something as stupid as being an influencer". At that time, Sena was cut off from his family. Nowadays, he barely keeps in contact with his family. Occasionally, his mother will send him a curt message on holidays but aside from that, he pretty much has no contact with them.
At the age of 18, Sena moved out of his parents' home with the help of his close friend, Fallon. Fallon is the owner of a cafe/bar called Aegis that Sena looked up to and frequently visited throughout his teen years. Sena stayed with Fallon for a few months until he could find his own place. For two years, Sena worked tirelessly to grow his audience on Instagram and Youtube. He also worked part time with Fallon at Aegis during this time.
Early Career
When Sena was 20, an idol's manager reached out to him offering a business opportunity. The proposition was to film a collaboration video on Sena's channel advertising Takara Kaneko's debut single. Sena agreed because he quite liked Takara's debut song and thought it would be a fun experience. Initially, Takara seemed cold towards Sena but during a couple of long days of filming, Sena gained Takara's respect. From then on, the two began to film more collabs together and slowly became quite close. Nowadays, Sena and Takara's friendship is well known amongst both of their fanbases and the two consider each other to be very important friends.
As Sena began to make a name for himself, he was hired to participate in a more professional shoot. He immediately agreed and was excited to take the next major step in his career. During that time however, Sena started a relationship with a co-worker who was much more experienced than him professionally. The relationship was messy to begin with and ended just as poorly. His partner at the time looked down on him based on his track record and lack of experience, claiming Sena wouldn’t get anywhere by not taking it seriously. Sena subsequently stopped trying to break into the professional fashion industry and resolved to stay as an influencer.
While he was still active as an influencer, he decided it would be a good time for a break. Sena posted less but still enough to call it his job. During this downtime, he met many people. He found himself attending events and joining social circles he was very unfamiliar with. Most of which were just fleeting meetings for a single night but it did nothing to soothe his anxiety. After some time, Sena impulsively picked up guitar after spending a lot of time at music nights and the general indie music scene. While it was difficult, Sena was happy to have something to do that distracted him, but was also a productive use of his time.
After some time and some bad decisions, Sena had a change of heart. He realized that he was giving up before even trying and wanted to at least be able to say that he gave it his all. With his newfound conviction, he sought out Regan Bijou, a well known fashion photographer. Sena was still a little wary but wanted to push himself. Together, they created a portfolio that showed all of Sena's sides and pushed him out of his comfort zone. His portfolio was not only his best chance at fulfilling his dreams but also helped him gain the confidence to even try. With it, he applied to a number of agencies as per Regan's recommendation and got accepted to his first choice. Sena celebrated his accomplishment that night with his closest friends and finally felt like he was taking the right step forward in his life.
Present Day
When Sena chose to follow his dreams, he made a huge sacrifice. While it was supposed to be thrilling and exciting, Sena couldn’t help but feel like he had only done so because he was backed into a corner. Sena worked hard but was always scared of rejection and that made it difficult for him to move forward. It wasn’t easy but along the way, Sena finally resolved to give his dreams another shot. This time, he would not back down even if it was scary. It was because of his newfound confidence, and perhaps a little desperation that led him to where he is now.
Since he began to work primarily as a model, his work as a vlogger has decreased. Every once in a while, he'll post a short film-esque video with some updates and insights on life but it's clear that his focus is elsewhere. Sena enjoys filming videos but has just had too much going on to give it his full attention. To continue giving his followers and fans some kind of regular content aside from his social media accounts, Sena has started blogging. Much of his posts consist of similar content to what he was making on Youtube but in a written form. He writes about fashion and skincare tips; current favorite products; thrift store finds; recipes he tries, and just some of his general thoughts on life. Sena posts once a week and each blog post is accompanied by relevant pictures he takes himself.
While he is much busier than before, he still makes an effort to see his friends regularly and keep up with hobbies he has started. He and Takara have started dating in secret and while not too much has changed, they couldn't be happier. They have a standing arrangement to have dinner together every few days/once a week where they take turns cooking for one another. Sena still goes to bars and enjoys listening to late night music events to discover new music and meet new people.
Sena is more than happy to be where he is in his career but can't help thinking about taking the next step. His love for fashion is deep rooted and he's beginning to consider fashion design. Still wary of the idea, Sena tucks it in the back of his mind but not without signing up for nightly fashion design classes. As of late, Sena spends time sketching up clothing ideas and has picked up sewing. He found a used sewing machine in good condition and for a good price and has been practicing stitches when he can. He has also started trying different kinds of outfits that were previously too far outside his comfort zone. Sena’s life is without a doubt, busy, but he couldn’t be more excited to see where life takes him from here on out.
Nowadays, Sena has been better at standing up for himself and freely speaking his mind. Sometimes, he still falls back into old habits, but Sena has definitely gained confidence. A lot of this can be attributed to his sudden change of heart and decision to give chasing his dreams another shot. Long time fans of his have noted that he seems much more confident and happy these days.
skills;
Journaling
Being a former influencer, Sena is used to having to create a schedule and sticking to it. Every Sunday he dedicates time to work on his planner and plan out his week. It's very neat and aesthetically pleasing.
Photography
Sena always carries a Polaroid camera with him when he hangs out with his friends. He isn't exactly amazing at it but he likes being able to capture seemingly insignificant moments with his friends. He decorates his work space at home with all the pictures he takes.
Cooking
Sena has been living on his own for a while now so he can cook pretty well for himself. He likes making filling but healthy dishes and sometimes tries out baking when he's in the mood and has a free day.
Tailoring
Sena has always had a hand in altering and making his own clothes. For the most part, alterations that were done and the clothing pieces he made were generally straightforward but since diving head first into fashion design, Sena has started pushing himself outside his comfort zone.
relationships;
Sena's "prince charming" and best friend turned lover. After a few years and a handful of miscommunications, Takara and Sena have finally started dating. After one failed confession, the two finally decided to take the chance. Much to their surprise, not much has changed. They still spend as much time as posible together despite their busy schedules and call when they can't see each other. They have endured many struggles to get to where they are now, but they couldn’t be happier. Their main focus now is keeping their relationship a secret from the public. They may face many obstacles in the future, but now they’re a team and are ready to face them together.
Fallon (found family)
They met when Sena was 16 and Fallon was 20. Enchanted by Fallon's latte art, Sena became a regular at Aegis while he was gaining popularity as an influencer. The two slowly warmed up to each other, sharing small tidbits of their lives with one another. 2 years later when Sena's arguments with his parents became more frequent, Fallon was there to comfort him. After explaining that he was getting disowned, Fallon impulsively offered Sena the spare room of his apartment until Sena could find a proper place. The two have been close ever since. Fallon treats Sena like a younger brother and the feeling is mutual. Sena greatly appreciates everything Fallon has done for him.
Mona (friend)
Sena first met Mona when the two were in high school. They attended different schools but were making a splash online for similar reasons. Sena followed Mona first and commented on a couple of posts after that, Mona followed back and the pair spent a few weeks conversing over DM. During a conversation about the opening of a new dessert shop Mona suggested that they go together. Sena was nervous but wanted to meet his friend in real life. At their first meeting, it was obvious that Sena was nervous but they slowly found the rhythm they had online. From then on, the two frequently collaborated and inevitably became quite close. Mona was there for Sena during some of his darkest times and Sena will forever be grateful.
Regan (friend)
Sena initially reached out to Regan when he was trying to start his modeling career with newfound conviction. At first, Regan was hesitant, but Sena convinced him to let him give it another shot and the two started to work. During the development of Sena's portfolio, they naturally got close. Sena wanted to try stepping out of his comfort zone and Regan was more than happy to let his artistic drive run free. During the shoot, they would often talk about personal topics and by the time they were done, they felt like they could confide in each other. Now, they continue to work together as subject and photographer, and spend time together shopping or getting a meal outside of work when they can.
Itsuki (friend)
Sena met Itsuki one fateful night when he was feeling his lowest. He wasn’t exactly taking care of himself at that point in his life and just wanted some easy company for the night. He and Itsuki started flirting and talking but at that point, Sena couldn’t take it anymore and cried in front of him at the crowded bar. Itsuki took Sena back to his home, cleaned him up, and took care of him. He spent the night but all they did was sleep next to each other. Sena was embarrassed but was grateful he ran into Itsuki that night. They kept in touch and Itsuki became a small, but important support for Sena. The two are still friends. They frequently eat out together and do spicy meal challenges. They also share an interest in music and exchange music findings.
Nikolai (friend)
Sena first met Nikolai after he hosted a guest lecture at the university Sena attends fashion design classes at. Nikolai’s lecture was in the evening and a good portion of the students that came were clearly just attending because it was mandatory. Sena, however, found Nikolai’s presentation quite interesting. He was serious about fashion design and he felt like Nikolai’s perspective was incredibly useful. Afterwards, Sena approached Nikolai and asked if he could ask him a few more questions. Much to his surprise, Nikolai enthusiastically agreed and invited him out for a light drink to continue the conversation. When it started getting late, they exchanged contact information before parting. At first, they spoke mostly about the fashion industry but lately, the pair have grown closer and would even consider each other friends.
Aster (coworker, friend)
TBA
Mika (friend)
Sena met Mika on a job with Regan. Sena was surprised to learn that Regan was willing to take in an assistant, and was even more surprised when Mika told him he was “just as beautiful as the photos”. Mika’s friendly demeanor made him an easy conversationalist and seeing how excited he was to be there made Sena want to talk to him more. Nowadays, Sena will invite Mika along for dinner when he and Regan go out or to trendy cafes. After finding out that Mika also works part time at Aegis, Sena makes sure to stop by to chat with Mika when it’s not very busy.
Elliot (Acquaintance)
Sena first met Elliot when he was putting together his modeling portfolio with Regan. Regan had recommended Sena dress his portfolio up a little and referred him to Elliot. Well, it was more like Regan brought Elliot along one day and said they should talk about the details. While Regan was admittedly a little pushy, Elliot reassured Sena that he didn’t have to go through with his services if Sena didn’t want to. After a couple of brief meetings Sena decided that it might help him in the long run to have a portfolio that was thought through, down to the paper choice. As the project continued, Sena’s excitement grew and he was amazed with the finished product. Nowadays, they sometimes run into each other while out on the town. Sometimes they’ll chat for a bit and move on but sometimes they’ll invite the other to shop or enjoy their drinks together. They aren’t particularly close, but Sena does enjoy Elliot’s company.
Shizuka (cousin)
As kids, they were very close despite the age difference. They spent a lot of their free time together during family get-togethers and it put Sena at ease as he struggled with making friends at school. As time went on and the relationship Sena had with his parents became strained, he and Shizuka began seeing each other less and less. Recently, they ran into each other completely by chance and while Sena still treats Shizuka kindly, he is wary about being in contact with any of his family members. Shizuka doesn’t seem to pick up on that and is determined to rebuild the relationship they once had.
Leo (coworker)
They met one day at the studio during Leo’s debut shoot and while Sena was modeling a designer's newest collection just down the hall. Leo wasn’t watching where he was going and bumped into Sena while both were on break. Leo was clearly flustered so Sena just smiled and reassured him that it was no problem. They met once again during a social event. Leo’s manager introduced the two formally and took the chance to lecture Leo on being more professional. They have started seeing each other around the studio lately and even have some future plans to appear in advertisements and some collections together.
