Yofue

STATS
Name: Yofue
Age: 17
Gender: Non Binary Female in drag
Description: Yofue presents as a young man who has yet to hit his growth spurt. She has little curves and she knows where to pad and where to bind to keep up that ruse. She has short blond hair, blue eyes and a small scar on her right temple that she got as a child climbing trees.
Personality: Yofue ran away from home because she felt she couldn't do what she wanted as a woman. So far being a sailor isn't quite what she had in mind but she enjoys the camaraderie among the sailors. While also being grateful for the separated sleeping quarters. In the future she would like to find a place where she can pursue a career. She just doesn't know in what.
Job: Sailor.
Pets: -

HATCHING
When Yofue reached the Bay, there were no eggs left in sight. The candidates and spectators had stopped and were uncertain on how to proceed. This was highly unusual. But before any of the officials could be contacted, a few of the hatchlings jumped up from the water and dove back down, reassuring everyone that the kittens were still in the bay and ready to bond.
Yofue stood on the beach, looking a bit forlorn. She had been waiting but not one of the nekrats had even looked her way. Would she be left standing? She'd been searching for purpose for so long and had hoped to find it here; had hoped to find someone who wouldn't judge or expect things from her. But maybe this wasn't the right place.
Just as the young sailor thought she'd better return to her quarters, a dark blue nekrat head poked out from the water.
"I... I..." the abyss female started.
Yofue turned around to look at the kitten addressing her.
"I want to be with you!"
Almost immediately the nekrat dove under water and a wave of nervous energy reached Yofue.
"You really want to?"
"Yes, if you want to."
Yofue opened her heart and figured the two of them would need to let their insecurities go. Maybe together they would succeed.
"Thank you for picking me, Kirya." Yofue whispered.

ADULT
Yofue held on while Kirya dove deep. The sleek, dark sea dragon pulled her bond along, showing her all the things that Kirya had found and wanted to show. They'd been back on Gremyne for a week now and really should be reporting in for duty. But neither of them had felt ready for that. Instead they'd explored and looked for a place to live. Somewhere where Kirya could hole away in the deep and where Yofue could live without having to worry. The duo had made the concession of looking for a place close to where the new settlement would go.
"I think they've known we were here for a while." Yofue told Kirya.
"Definitely." Kirya agreed, "But they're allowing us to take our time."
"Have you talked to anyone?"
"It's hard not to when we can all sense each other." Kirya admitted, "But no-one has pried."
"Okay."
"I think they will if we take much longer though."
"Yeah, I figured." Yofue sighed.
More and more ships had sailed by and she'd seen a few of the nekrats and other sea dragons she'd come to know at Dawn Cove. People were probably not even angry, just worried. If only she could disappear. But then, cutting off ties completely and moving somewhere new in the Nexus felt so daunting, she'd not had the heart to try.
"We can always do that later." Kirya suggested.
"I love you."
