Here~ [Background]
Here![Personality] Yuffie's a really interesting character in terms of personality. At first glance, she's a selfish, annoying, kleptomaniacal brat. That's just scratching the surface, though. Once you look deeper you see she's an incredibly determined individual, strong and passionate, even if she is incredibly socially awkward and thus has no idea how to really act around people half the time.
Her mother died of illness when she was young and her relationship with her father isn't the greatest, so she didn't really have much parental guidance growing up, which really helped shape her personality. Not to mention the fact that she pretty much raised herself since she was twelve or so. By living in a forest. If that doesn't make one socially awkward, I don't know what will. But Yuffie's a special kind of socially awkward. Her overall personality is extroverted enough that she could never be the shy, stuttering, typical sort of awkward. No, she's in your face, tactless and doesn't know when to stop talking because, well, she may know some social graces (she is technically a princess, after all) but she obviously doesn't have any practice with 'em. When things start getting serious and personal in a conversation, she backpedals, uncomfortable with it and she doesn't really know how to deal with it.
There's a lot more to her that the annoying loudness, though. Her big thing in FFVII is she steals the company's materia. Now, for the group, this may seem like a minor inconvenience, but they're not the only ones Yuffie's done that to. And for some people living outside a major city, that materia and what they can cast with it could possibly be what either kills the monsters out there or makes the person monster food. Which begs the question, why would she even do something like that and do it without any regard for the consequences? She's not a cold-blooded killer and she wasn't intending to accidentally murder anybody, for sure. So why'd she do it?
One word. Wutai.
Wutai is Yuffie's home. She's also the heir to its version of government and loves her country something fierce. Wutai used to be a grand and splendid country, but after the war with ShinRa, it was left devastated. The only it could survive was being turned into a tourist trap, something Yuffie hates. She swore she would restore her home to its former glory and materia is the way to do that. So she goes out and does morally ambiguous-- if not morally reprehensible-- things, all for the sake of her country. Yuffie is just bubbling over with determination and passion. It takes a lot of guts to go off, by yourself, when you're twelve years old on a mission to save your country, ninja training or no. There are very few people who would be willing to something like that as an adult, much less as a pre-teen and teenager.
That passion isn't reserved just for her country, though it holds most of it. AVALANCHE, her comrades, get it as well. When the Silver Haired Men show up in Advent Children, Yuffie answers the call and drops what she was working on back in Wutai to come to her friends' aid. When Reeve and, eventually, Vincent, need her help in Dirge of Cerberus, she helps out and sticks it out to the end. It's a subtle sort of thing, but she loves her friends like she loves her country and she would do just about anything for them, even if it would take quite a bit for her to admit anything like that out loud.
[Specialties/Abilities] While Yuffie doesn't have any supernatural abilites, she is a fighter. She's a trained ninja which, by itself, makes her somewhat dangerous, especially in a fist-fight. But add into that her
weapons,
limit breaks and
materia and she makes for a pretty decent opponent.
[Affection] She really doesn't know how to deal with affection well, physical or otherwise. So you can do whatever, but expect her to flail a bit and be all "wh-whaaaaat?"
[Fighting] She probably wouldn't start a fight herself without a good reason. She does have a temper, though, so someone may end up with Mini being cast on them. As far as trying to pick a fight with her goes, she'll retaliate if someone attacks her. Injuring her is a-okay, within limits. Plz to be talking to me beforehand about it, though. Same goes for character death.
[Other Permissions] Everything goes, though I'd prefer to keep fourth-walling to a minimum.
