Background/Biography: Yano was born the only child to her parents. She was a miracle as her mother wasn't supposed to be able to have children. Her family was anything but normal, however. For generations, the eldest male in her father's family was given the title shinigami. To possess this name meant to be a death dealer.
Being a girl many doubted she would be able to take and keep the name and duty and others in her family wanted their sons to take the name for themselves but her father had faith that his daughter was more than strong enough to handle herself.
As soon as she was able to walk she began her training to take over for her father once she was old enough. She worked hard to prove that she was just as good as any of the males in her family. She made it clear she would give up the title so easily.
She wanted to do good with what she had been given even though most of her family thought she would fail she ended up helping many people. She loved her life and everything about it. To her family's ancient home in the mountains to her younger cousins who she loved to play with but all good things must come to an end. On her nineteenth birthday, her family home was attacked and burnt to the ground.
She watched men bearing a red cross come and take her home. They killed everyone, from her helpless grandparents to her small cousins. Even her father and mother fell to them. She fought as best as she could before she had to flee. She now has trouble sleeping for fear of seeing it all over again in her dreams. She is now the only one left of her line and is standing alone against the Templars.
