Yuuma
"You walk around so clueless to it all, like nobody gonna break your heart"
Adoption is a process that is fairly commonplace in most societies, even if it is not called such. Adopting a child of a different species, however, is a lot less common.
Yuuma is a bit of an exotic oddity in his childhood home of Caveheart. As one of the few Kamishiba in the Shourinokobi city, he always stood out no matter what he did. And he was desired. Very desired. He is handsome - a fact he has no qualms in admitting - but what made him popular with every gender was his exotic nature. He was desired for nothing more than his species. It would give even the most naive of souls trust issues with romantic advances. Yuuma tried to remain optimistic under his brother's influence but years and years of being nothing more than a pretty treasure has left Yuuma jaded and distrustful of others' advances towards him. Not that he has become a stranger in the world of love. Like his Shourinokobi brother, Yuuma is a massive flirt. He tosses out sweet words and suggestive glances as if it were nothing. Yet despite his flirtatious and friendly nature, Yuuma clings on tightly to the few relationships he does have.
There's more to Yuuma Taiyo than his pretty face however. Underneath that beautiful exterior lies a fire that will never be put out. Yuuma sees what he wants in life and he goes after it, not letting a single thing stand in his way. Despite being a generally kind and peaceful soul, Yuuma will not hesitate to kick ass when necessary.

Details
Present
Yuuma lives a nomadic lifestyle, drifting between Aurora Land and his homeland of Ethia. With nothing to tie him down, Yuuma travels around, seeking to learn more about himself and the land of his species. To earn the money he needs to find such a journey, Yuuma bakes, cooks, and offers lessons where he can. He also sells his illustrations from time to time but prefers to keep his art for himself or as a gift to his loved ones.
LWhen he's not travelling from landmark to landmark, Yuuma spends his time getting to know other Kamishiba, making friends, and learning the history of Aurora Land. His circle of new friends is spread wide, encompassing not only the common Kamishiba, but thieves, mercenaries, and even nobles. Often he can be found in parties of all kinds, always given an open invitation to any ongoing events.
History
Yuuma was raised in Caveheart, Ethia - a strange place for Kamishiba to grow up but Yuuma never knew any different. Sure, he realised he was different to the other children in his school, what with his feathery wings in place of fluffy ears and lack of circling crystals to aid in his life. But Yuuma was never alienated because of his differences. If anything they made others gravitate towards him. Yuuma never had to look far to find friendship or romance.
He had a family who loved him dearly, a circle of friends wider than most ever saw, and a mile long line of suitors. Yuuma had everything anyone could have ever wanted. Yet he wasn't satisfied. He was happy, of course, he knew how lucky he was. But something felt… off.. not quite right. It was like an itch under his skin that he couldn't quite scratch.
It wasn't until Yue's boyfriend dumped the smitten Shourinokobi to ask him on a date that the reason for his restlessness came to light. He was tired. Tired of being an exotic trophy. Tired of Shourinokobis trying to get close to him just because he was different. He was tired of being set apart from the rest and placed on a pedestal. Tired of the ones who truly cared about him getting hurt by the ones who saw him as nothing more than a beautiful oddity.
Yuuma left Ethia not long after this revelation, surmising that the easiest way to stop being so exotic and wanted, was to simply turn to a place where others of his kind lived. The change in culture and lifestyle came as a huge shock to the Kamishiba. He found it harder than he had anticipated to be accepted. No longer could he rely on his magnetic attraction to draw others into close relationships, Yuuma was finally given room to show off his natural charisma and other skills.

Traits
Skills & Abilities
Baking
Yuuma has a voracious sweet tooth and found the best way to sate it was to simply bake his own treats. He quickly grew beyond the skills of the books he read and began to experiment with his own techniques
Singing
Just like his brother, Yuuma was in a choir when he was young. However, unlike his brother, Yuuma did not have a natural talent for singing. It took several years of hard work to get him to a point of being merely average.
Poetry
The art of poignant words and flowery structure of poetry was a skill better suited to Yue rather than Yuuma. His brother claimed it was just like flirting, but Yuuma never got the hang of it.
Illustration
While Yue was gifted with poetic verses, Yuuma practised with paper and ink. He creates beautiful and elegant ink illustrations to accompany Yue's poetry.

Brother
Yue
Yuuma's baby brother, Yue has always been there for him when he needed some romantic advice or simply a shoulder to cry on. And Yuuma was always there for his brother, helping with his hobbies and plans, offering moral support. It is this love for his brother that makes Yuuma feel so guilty. He is supposed to protect his younger brother yet he was - indirectly - the cause of his heart break.
