Physical Appearance
Glancing at Yuna the way she is now, one would be hard pressed to imagine how she might have looked in her childhood. Unlike others her age, any signs of her younger years, be it in the form of a little excess fat, or something along those lines are gone. Rather, she has grown into a woman, despite her somewhat young age. Even her hair, hanging in brown locks down to her shoulders, has a sign of maturity, as it is never tarnished with unnatural coloring, or little clips, as other girls often can be seen wearing. Her bangs, cut short to avoid hindering her sight, only slightly obscure her multi-colored irises; one blue, and one green, signifying both sides of her heritage. The rest of her facial features are undoubtedly her most striking assets, capable of conveying deep warmth, furious passion and immeasurable sadness in turn, depending on the situation.
The lines of her jaw are smooth, with only the slightest hint of roundness to them, cheekbones somewhat higher than usual and proud at the same time. Her nose, tilting upwards ever-so-slightly at the tip, leads down to her lips, which can be set in a wide smile, or a playful pout, or even thinned with rage. It all depends on the person she's conversing with. Her skin itself could even be deemed flawless, although the summoner herself would never agree to such a statement. Somewhat pale, though not because of a lack of sunlight, Yuna bears a slight resemblance to a porcelain doll, in that she looks as though the slightest touch might break her to pieces. But this is not the case. Far from it, actually. Whether this fragile nature is a blessing or a curse; something genetic, or something she tries hard to maintain, none can be sure. But if one were unlucky enough to oppose her on the battlefield, or somehow end up being the subject of her wrath, they would not only realize that she is far from fragile, but that she is downright scary when she desires to be.
While Yuna would never personally acknowledge this fact, her body, and her in general, are the object of desire for many boys around Spira. Somewhat creepy, to be sure, but not without reasoning. The long periods of time that she has spent traveling, first on the road and then with the Gullwings, have granted her a nearly flawless physique, with no excess fat. Some may go as far as to say that this is unfair, as she doesn't ever really engage in conventional exercise, but that's beside the point. Simply put, she possesses a simple, natural, uncomplicated beauty. Surprisingly curvaceous, despite the lack of fat on her, some may say that she is the perfect woman. This may very well be true, but surely the fact that she's famous contributes to this love so many people have for her.
But even with all that said, Yuna is still that innocent, somewhat shy girl that she has been her whole life. While this side of her personality is obscured by her risque choice of clothing, and all the time she spends with her upbeat-bordering-on-annoying cousin, she often finds herself feeling awkward in the presence of those she doesn't know, especially these days when all of the denizens of Spira are fawning all over her, simply because of what she's accomplished. Even though she has a much larger percentage of her body revealed, in comparison to her much more conservative outfit on her original journey, she'll still be found more often than not with her hands clasped behind her back, swaying slowly from side to side. It's all a part of who she is, and it's highly unlikely that it's going to change anytime soon.
Clothing/Accessories
Although the outfit doesn't see much use these days, due to her new 'Gunner' clothing, Yuna's summoner garb still holds a special place in her heart. In it, she underwent what will, undoubtedly, continue to be the hardest, most heart-wrenching moments, as well as the most amazing. Even when not being worn, the outfit is beautiful, as is the garb of most Summoners. Hanging from her left ear is a string of beads, fanning out in a feather at the end, hanging just over the top of her upper garments. Bearing a strong resemblance to a kimono, the garment has no sleeves for the upper half of her arms, although it does on the lower half, which end up hanging a good five inches off of Yuna's person, and flow behind her wherever she moves. A yellow belt of sorts covers the lower half of the top, with a floral-print design on it, and dual strings of beads hanging off of it's right side, attached to a red flower decoration. Although mostly white in shade, the sleeves change in hue gradually to pink, the further you look.
Covering her lower half is a blue, pleated dress, with a similar floral print design to that on her belt. This design runs in an l-shape from the bottom right side of the dress, all the way up until it is level with the ends of her sleeves. With a slit along the side to permit mobility, the dress is suitable for both beauty and traveling purposes, making it quite the useful outfit. Black boots, going only a few inches above her ankles, have only the slightest bit of a heel, effectively making them just as good for various things as the outfit itself.
Donning a new outfit to signify the end of her peaceful life as High Summoner, and her new life as a Gullwing, her Gunner clothing is the outfit that she can be seen in most often, and is quite a bit more risque than her previous one. Strangely, when wearing this outfit, a single section of Yuna's hair grows longer, into a comically long ponytail that hangs only a few inches off of the floor, while the rest of her hair maintains it's normal length. A white tank top, with thin straps holding it up, only just barely covers her torso, with a large gap in the center, in which sits the emblem for the Zanarkand Abes. Yellow armbands sit just above her elbows, as well as a single black wrist guard on her left wrist. Pink trim sits at the bottom of her shirt, and a similarly colored collar wraps around her neck, although it isn't actually attached to her shirt, oddly enough.
Her shorts, to be honest, can barely even be called shorts. They barely cover any her lower half, although they have a variety of things adorning them that assist in covering her legs. What looks like a blue sash is tied on the right side of her shorts, although it extends into what looks like half of a dress people long ago would wear. Light blue and pleated, it only comes to a stop at about halfway down her boots, and when she runs, it acts as quite the distraction. Speaking of her boots, they are similar to the ones in her Summoner outfit, although they reach up to her knees and have white laces instead of black.

Behavior
To properly understand Lady Yuna, one must look at the way she once was, and the way she is now. One may ask how one person could have two entirely different personalities, but this is not the case. Rather, between her time as a Summoner and her time as a Gullwing, she developed several new traits, as well as improving on some of her old ones.
Partially because of the way she was raised, and partially because of her position as High Summoner, Yuna is a very kind-hearted individual. Once, this was bordering on being ridiculous, as she would apologize for the slightest of things, and would go out of her way to make others feel comfortable and happy. Such was a requirement of being a Summoner. In the same way, she was also a soft-spoken individual, always making sure that she said the right thing, and did her best not to offend or hurt anyone with her words. Not to say that her words were always kind, but she even hid her anger well. She is also a very polite individual, rarely speaking harsh words, even though she is a much more outgoing being, thanks to her time as a Gullwing. She always remembers to say hello, thank those that do things for her, and to bow to those that she respects. It's a running joke among the Gullwings, how easily she's taken advantage of, and it's one of the things she wants to change. In her mind, it's one of her main focuses. She was taken advantage of once. She's not going to let it happen again.
Yuna is also loyal, and rarely goes behind someone's back. Granted, being a sphere hunter demands that you must trick people from time to time, but for the most part, she remains true to her word, going through with the most difficult of tasks, no matter how terrible the danger may be. From slaying great creatures to helping out people she hardly knows, Yuna knows more than well enough just how harmful breaking promises can be. One could argue that this extends into her being honest, as she hates having to mislead someone just as much as she hates betraying a promise to them. Yes, these two factors go hand in hand, but on certain occasions, a person may have to do one and not the other. Anyway, with all that said, being a Gullwing has changed her view on these factors just a bit. Partially because of her experiences in the past and partially because of her fellow Gullwings making cracking jokes so often, she attempts to say no from time to time. Usually it fails, but at least she tries.
And although most of her personality involves her being a secluded, quiet individual, who must watch their words, she also has her outgoing, fun-loving side as well. Due to the hardships she faced in her life all the way up to the time she joined the Gullwings, she never really had the opportunity to tap into this side, but recently, she's done so. And she's loving it. Being a girl who can almost match Rikku when it comes to being "out there"- almost, mind you; Yuna loves nothing more than to just have a good time, and laugh about the most menial of things. She still maintains her composure the majority of the time, yes, but she just likes to enjoy herself. But in the same way that she can be incredibly playful, she has always had a serious side to her. The side that allows her to undergo the most grueling of tasks without much effort.
All in all, Yuna is a very complex individual, who, although a mass of contradictions, is actually well put-together, especially for one her age.

~ Weapons ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ Weapons ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ID: Tiny Bee.[/size]
Quality: Supreme.
Type: Primary.
Yuna's newest weapons are the guns known as 'Tiny Bee', designed by her fellow Gullwing, Shinra, for her to use as a Gunner. Two pistols, one that sits at either hip, they're very powerful weapons, designed to make hitting a target much easier, even if one lacks the training to use such a weapon naturally. Mostly black in color, a portion of them are brown in shade, with the symbol for the Zanarkand Abes engraved on the side of either one. These weapons also have technology within them that completely remove the need to reload manually. Rather, they do so on their own, enabling the user to be engaged in a heated battle without worrying about running out of bullets.___________________________Gunplay.
Back in the days when she and her fellow Gullwings were searching for the elusive Vegnagun, Yuna began to fight as a Gunner, rather than continuing to use magic to defeat her foes. And while in the past, she required both a Dress Sphere and a Garment Grid to utilize the power of the Gunner, she has discovered a way to not need these devices any longer. By using the magical potential that still exists within her body, Yuna is able to utilize several techniques that normal gunslingers would be unable to. In fact, by using her magic in such a unique way, Yuna has developed an entirely new style of fighting that makes her an unpredictable foe that should not, under any circumstances, be trifled with.
Meteor Rain ~
Meteor Rain basically involves Yuna firing a volley of bullets towards her foe(s), charging each and every one with a percentage of her magical energy. These bullets then proceed to fly away from her body in a wide arc, before converging on the target in a damaging explosion. Now, although a unique and well thought-out attack, it does have it's flaws, as everything, sadly, must. The major flaw is, obviously, the fact that the bullets must arc out so far, which takes about five seconds, giving her target more than enough warning that the attack is coming towards them. Also, they only travel, at maximum, a total of fifty feet in any given direction, before falling to the ground and becoming completely harmless. The bullets travel quite fast once they are finished arcing outwards, and speed towards their target at a rate of approximately fifty miles an hour, which, although much slower than a regular bullet, can still be rather difficult to outrun. One more thing that must be taken into account is that this attack does not require a living target. Rather, as long as Yuna has a target in her sight, be it anything from a person to a bush, the bullets will home in on it. Now, although it is possible for her to perform this ability when standing, if Yuna is in the air above her opponent, this ability could, arguably, become more useful. As she can move about freely in the air, she tends to spin rapidly in midair while firing the bullets, causing them to home in on the foe from all directions, rather than from either side.
Scatter Shot ~
Yuna is also able to charge a single bullet with a massive amount of magic, causing it to glow with a brilliant light that is almost impossible to look directly at. This single bullet, when fired, flies directly towards any one foe at such a speed that it is basically invisible to the naked eye. A moment before the bullet strikes it’s target, it splits into fifty smaller bullets, which shoot outwards from their point of origin, avoiding Yuna’s allies and harming her foes. And while these bullets only do weak damage on their own, can be devastating when used in a crowd. Yuna can also fire this bullet upwards, causing the various shots to rain down on the battlefield, catching foes unawares. Yes, it can be considered a very situational power, but is still quite powerful when used properly.
Strength:
Strong.
Uses:
Rain -- Three uses per battle.
Scatter -- Four uses per battle.
Cooldown:
Rain -- Four posts.
Scatter -- Three posts.Sphere Change.
At first, Yuna had been glad to regain her human form. While being a pixie had been fun, she had quickly grown tired of being so incredible weak and defenceless. But recently, she realized just how useful that ability could be. Spending hours cooped up in Shinra’s workshop, along with the little technical genius himself. They managed to tap into the remnants of magic within her that had transformed the summoner into a pixie in the first place, trapping it within one of the Gullwing’s signature dress spheres. Yuna has since merged the sphere with the ring stated in the above ability, enabling her to initiate the sphere change without the need for a garment grid. Whenever she taps into the energy of the ring, a teal-shaded glyph appears above her head, running down the length of her body before touching down on the ground and erupting upwards in a flash of light that obscures her from view. The flash disappears as quickly as it arrived, revealing Yuna in her pixie form once more. In this form, Yuna is appropriately weakened. However, due to the effects of the ability “Hymn of the Fayth”, her defence and strength are reduced to normal levels, rather than being lowered any further. While Yuna is in this form, she is able to fly, allowing her much greater mobility on the battlefield, and enabling her to dodge many more attacks than she normally would have been able to. Should she so desire, she can also change back into her human form, with an identical flash of light.
Strength:
Moderate.
Uses:
Unlimited.
Cooldown:
None. However, Yuna cannot switch between her forms in the same post. If she changes into her Pixie form, for example, she cannot change back into her human form until the next post.Trigger Happy.
To be a respectable gunslinger, one must have a certain proficiency with the weapons. Not only that, but they must be able to perform at least one ability that will make an opponent's jaw drop. Well... make their jaw drop before they get a flurry of bullets in the face. And while Yuna has no actual skill with the gun, as the targeting optics implanted in her weapons by Shinra do that for her, she is quite proficient in doing a decent amount in damage in a short amount of time. Casting a form of Haste that only affects her hands, Yuna pulls the triggers of both guns at a rate ten times faster than she would naturally. Therefore, as she can normally fire a few shots every ten seconds, she would be able to fire ten times that amount, should she utilize this ability. This evens out to approximately forty shots per second. These bullets cause just as much damage as one would expect, although they only travel thirty feet in any direction. Once they hit the 'invisible barrier', they just drop to the ground, motionless. Also, once she begins firing, the amount of knock back caused by the barrage of bullets stops her from turning at all. If she attempts to, she'll just loose the flow of bullets, and will be thrown backwards by all of the amassed knock back. However, if she continues to fire in a single direction, she won't be thrown backwards at all, although she'll be unable to move for five seconds afterwards.
Strength:
Weak.
Uses:
Five uses per battle.
Cooldown:
Four posts.Sonic Buster.
This ability is only useable due to a rather ingenious idea on Shinra’s part: taking a Meteor Gummi and flattening it into a ring that fits perfectly around the barrel of one of Yuna’s guns. This ring, once it has been placed on her weapon, can be activated at any point in time, forming a white ring that rockets towards a foe, acting as a concussive blast and knocking anyone it strikes back a distance of up to fifteen feet, unless something stops them. This ability deals very little damage, but is wonderful for crowd control, as it will knock whoever it hits back into any foes that may be behind them. It’s situational, yes, but very useful.
Strength:
Weak.
Uses:
Unlimited.
Cooldown:
Three posts.Fulcrum Shift.
One of the few spells that Yuna still uses on a fairly regular basis, Fulcrum Shift is essentially a much more advanced form of Haste, that not only affects movement speed, but also affects the cool down speed of abilities. When used, Yuna glows with a brilliant golden light, which spreads out five feet in any direction, also affecting up to four allies in that radius. Anyone who is affected by it gains an identical golden sheen, making them appear as if they were a living, breathing statue. While this ability is in effect, the movement speed of anyone affected is doubled, and the cool down speed of every ability is cut in half. This ability does not affect foes, simply due to the way the spell was created. This ability is wonderful as it allows any melee fighters to battle twice as fast, enabling them to overcome their foes much more easily.
Strength:
Status Effect.
Uses:
Lasts for three posts.
Cooldown:
Three posts.

AP left: 0.[/blockquote]Hymn of the Fayth.
Yuna has undergone quite a few difficult events in her life. Take having to abandon her religion, for example. Or having to put her friends in harm’s way time and time again. But perhaps the most painful event was one that was beyond her control. One that only occurred recently, and one that has changed the summoner forever. Rather, the former summoner. Due to the fact that Spira has been all but destroyed, as well as the fact that Yuna was unable to utilize her Aeons for so long, she has lost her connection with the powerful entities. That power still resides within her body, yes, but is beyond her reach. However, the Aeons have not left her completely helpless. Choosing to continue to aid her, rather than returning to the Farplane to rest until the end of time, the Aeons have infused their own spirits with Yuna’s own, granting her strength far beyond that of many warriors out there. Any abilities used on Yuna, regardless of they’re origin or original strength, do less damage than they normally would. Strong abilities only do Moderate damage, Moderate abilities only do Weak damage, and Weak abilities do little to no damage at all. It makes Yuna a much more deadly opponent, to be sure.
Strength:
Moderate.
Uses:
Passive.
Cooldown:
Not applicable.Summoner’s Soul.
The Aeons did not just stop with the above ability, however. Oh no. They also enhanced her physical strength, granting her enough strength to rival even the most powerful of warriors. Of course, she does not have their endurance, so she would not last nearly as long as they would, but she can perform physical feats that would put many warriors to shame. Her strength is now equal to that of a warrior that has been training for many years. Meaning that she is able to, say, knock a man back up to ten feet with a well-placed kick. However, her strength is not always like this. Rather, this ability only becomes active whenever the Summoner enters a battle, and turns off the moment things are safe again. Therefore, she has no need to worry about breaking something she did not mean to.
Strength:
Moderate.
Uses:
Passive.
Cooldown:
Not applicable.Athletic Prowess.
Due partially to her physically exerting adventures with the Gullwings, as well as the effect the Aeons had on her, Yuna has become a rather talented athlete. She is able to jump twice as high as a normal human, and can run twice as fast as well. She is also able to do a variety of flips and rolls that would put even some of the most talented gymnasts to shame, making her a difficult target to hit in the heat of battle.
Strength:
Weak.
Uses:
Passive.
Cooldown:
Not applicable.
Equips
1. Aerial Dodge.
A high-speed spinning motion performed while in the air which allows the user to fling themselves in any direction by about ten feet at moderate ability speed. Any projectile weapon or projectile ability attacks that are not larger than the user's body and contact the user during Aerial Dodge are deflected away by the spin. One use per post and can not be used again for 3 of your posts. If applicable, Aerial Dodge can also not be used again without first landing on some type of surface and then entering the air once more.

"This is our story..."
Our story begins not with Yuna, as one may expect. Rather, it begins with her father, a man known as Braska, who was once a priest in the city of Bevelle. Incidentally, Bevelle was also the place where Yevon originated, meaning that there was an abundance of priests and priestesses around, some aspiring, others successful. Thus, it made not only work difficult to come by, but to become well known was even less likely. Some attempted to make their presence obvious by doing great things, something that rarely worked, but that they gained notoriety for anyhow. But Braska, oddly enough, not only went against the mold, but did something that was completely against Yevon's teachings. He decided to visit the Al Bhed, a race residing mainly in the vast Bikanel Desert. The Al Bhed didn't believe in Yevon, and had therefore been branded as blasphemers. But not only did Braska attempt to fix relations between the two races, he fell in love with an Al Bhed woman, the most terrible act a Yevonite could perform, according to Yevon.
But there were complications, the likes of which Braska had not realized. This woman that he loved was the sister of Cid, the leader of the Al Bhed, and, upon hearing that she was in love with a Yevonite, Cid disowned her. Similarly, Braska was cast out of the clergy for being a traitor, and the two went off into an unknown land to live their lives. What happened to them over the next few years is not well known. All that is known is that she returned to Bikanel, home of the Al Bhed, shortly after Yuna's birth, hoping to regain her place with her people. But on her way to Bikanel, her ship was attacked by Sin, and she passed on. Hearing of what happened, Braska went into a deep depression, and planned to become a summoner to avenge his wife. He was looked down upon by everyone because of his choices in life, from his Al Bhed wife to his half-breed daughter, and he was nothing more than a traitor to them. But he didn't care. He was going to show them all that he was powerful enough to defeat sin, despite all that he had gone through. Taking two others that were looked down upon, Auron and Jecht, as his Guardians, the three began what would become a legendary pilgrimage. Their journey ended when Braska gave his life to perform the final summoning, defeating Sin and becoming High Summoner, and a highly praised man to not only the Yevonites, but to the Al Bhed as well.
During all of this, Yuna resided in Bevelle, and lived there until a Ronso named Kimahri, who had a mission passed onto him by Auron, came to take her to the beautiful island of Besaid. During their journey to the island, Yuna began to grow fond of her ally, and when he tried to leave upon their arrival, she begged him to stay with her, to protect her from the harshness of the world. He agreed, and, along with her new friends Lulu and Wakka, acted as a makeshift family for the little girl. As she grew up, Yuna felt as though it was her job to take care of everyone she could, simply because of the fact that her father had done so much for the denizens of Spira, and she felt as though she was obligated to as well. Therefore, when she was finally old enough, she made what could be considered to be the greatest choice in her life: she became a Summoner.
It may not seem like such a big deal to those that are unaware of what being a Summoner entailed. In short, a Summoner would undergo a pilgrimage to the ruins of the great city known as Zanarkand, before obtaining the Final Aeon and defeating Sin. But in doing so, the Summoner sacrifices not only his or her own life, but that of one of their Guardians as well. But she knew all of this this, and she was prepared for the sacrifice. With Lulu and Kimahri, she entered the temple in Besaid, and made her way through the Cloister of Trials before making her way into the Chamber of the Fayth. She stayed there for an entire day, which was quite unusual, as it typically took no more than several minutes for a Summoner to make a pact with any given Aeon. Nonetheless, a day later, she left the chamber as a Summoner, only to see that Wakka and another, unfamiliar man, had joined them. Agreeing to allow him to join them, simply because it was convenient, the group began their trip to Kilika, their next stop on the pilgrimage. The problem was that the stranger, a man named Tidus, was not a guardian, and none of her companions, save, perhaps, for Wakka, trusted him. He was speaking of strange things, saying that he was from the city of Zanarkand, which had, as they knew, been destroyed one thousand years earlier. But due to her experiences from speaking with Jecht, Tidus' father, she was the only one who believed him. One could say that this was the beginning of a strong connection between the two, but nobody can be entirely sure.
She had not even made it to Kilika before disaster struck. Sin attacked their ship, and although she and her Guardians managed to fend the beast off, he destroyed most of their destination, killing a great many people. Yuna's experiences there were twofold; one was obtaining her second summon, the fiery titan known as Ifrit, the other being her first sending, the process of allowing wayward souls passage to the Farplane. with all of this done, they made their way to Luca, where they were supposed to part ways with Tidus, hoping for him to meet someone he knew there. While in Luca, they briefly met Maesters Yo Mika and Seymour Guado, the latter of whom Yuna would become quite acquainted with as time went on. Hearing rumours that Auron was supposedly in the area, she went with Tidus and Kimahri to try and find him. But during this time, Kimahri was involved in a tense situation with two fellow Ronso, giving the Al Bhed Psyches a chance to kidnap her. Intending to use her as bait to force Besaid's own Aurochs, a blitzball team on which both Tidus and Wakka played, to drop out.
But they had not expected for Tidus, Lulu, and Kimahri to come to her rescue, while the Aurochs won their first match in ten years. It was a day for celebration, to be sure, although the celebrations were cut short when fiends attacked moments after the tournament was concluded. Luckily, the fiends were ultimately destroyed by Seymour's own aeon, Anima, a beast of both great anguish and incredible strength. Yuna and company proceeded to get ready to continue their pilgrimage once more, their ranks increasing by one in the form of Auron, who Yuna was delighted to have on her side. Here she also underwent a lesson of sorts, where Tidus attempted to teach her just how to look at life in a brighter fashion. There, he made a promise to be there for her whenever she needed him. All she had to do was whistle.
Their next stop was Djose temple, although on the way, they were caught up in operation Mi'ihen, a plan orchestrated to dispose of Sin once and for all. There, she met Seymour once again, and even joined forces with him to dispose of one of the Sinspawn left behind. Hundreds of people died that day, but luckily, Yuna and her Guardians survived, no matter how slight their margin of survival actually was. Finally reaching Djose, she met fellow Summoner Isaaru, along with his two Guardians and brothers, Maroda and Pacce; and obtained the Aeon Ixion, a skeletal unicorn surging with lightning. On the Moonflow, a large river that splits Spira into it's northern and southern halves, Yuna was kidnapped yet again, by an unknown piece of Al Bhed Machina. As the only two in the group who could swim, for whatever reason, Tidus and Wakka saved her, only to find that the pilot of the machine had been Rikku, a girl that Tidus seemed to know somehow. Agreeing to take the playful blonde on as her final guardian, Yuna and company reached the city of Guadosalam, the home of the Guado race, which just so happened to be led by, you guessed it, Seymour.
To the entire group's shock, Seymour proposed to Yuna, at which time she decided to visit the Farplane, and consult her parent's spirits as to what she should do. Making her decision, she went to tell Seymour, only to find that he had gone on to Macalania Temple, which happened to be their next stop anyhow. Therefore, the group followed, crossing the Thunder Plains and Macalania Forest, finally coming to a rest in an inn run by Rin, another Al Bhed. Studying a sphere that Seymour's father- well, his spirit, to be more precise, had left her, Yuna discovered that Seymour had killed his own father for his own despicable means. Choosing to be uncharacteristically devious, Yuna planned to pretend to want to marry Seymour, simply to get him to admit the truth. She split apart from her Guardians just outside of the temple, going with Seymour through the cloister of trials, before putting her plan in action. Obtaining the icy maiden, Shiva, her plan failed when her Guardians decided to intervene after finding the sphere that told them the truth. Defeating and seemingly killing Seymour, they were forced to flee the temple, only to be trapped beneath the ice that held it aloft, and were subsequently saved by Sin.
Awakening on Bikanel Island, apart from her Guardians, Yuna was taken in by the Al Bhed, who were kidnapping Summoners to prevent them from undergoing their pilgrimage, because they believed it was pointless. After all, the Summoner would give their life, and Sin would just return. It was an endless cycle of unnecessary pain and suffering. There, she remained with fellow Summoners Dona and Isaaru, only to be saved by her Guardians. All the while, the enraged Guado were attacking the Al Bhed's “Home“. but the Guardians and Yuna were once more separated, and her companions fled, while the Summoner was kidnapped once more. Forced to marry the mysteriously revived Seymour, Yuna planned to be devious once more, using the marriage to send him once and for all. He was dead after all, and had no right to remain on the world, harming the living.
Her Guardians, once again, attempted to save her, only to be stopped by Maester Mika. The choice was simple. If she tried to send Seymour, her friends would die at the hands of the warrior monks. Seeing no other choice, Yuna went ahead with the ceremony, but once Seymour announced his plan to kill her friends anyhow, she leapt off the church, seemingly falling to her death, only to save herself by summoning Valefor. Proceeding to the Chamber of the Fayth and obtaining the winged titan, Bahumat, Yuna and company were finally captured, and their plans to be executed are made. Moments before she is sent into the Via Purifico, a prison with supposedly no escape, she realized just how corrupt her faith was. The maesters? All dead. Unsent; beings that although dead, had not been sent to the Farplane. Thus, she was thrown into the dungeon, where she was supposedly going to die. But she escaped after defeating Isaaru, who Seymour had employed to kill her if she tried to escape, and, in turn, they defeated Seymour himself.
Escaping into Macalania Woods, she entered a spring to think, her faith shaken. Tidus joined her, and, knowing that she was going to die after their journey was over, apologized for seeming so enthusiastic over the whole thing. For a long time, they talked of what they would do next, the night ending with a fateful kiss between the pair. Finally, after making it past Mount Gagazet and defeating Seymour once again, they reach Zanarkand, a destroyed city that was not at all the way Tidus had remembered it. Yuna defied the typical path of a Summoner by refusing to sacrifice one of her Guardians to obtain the final aeon and defeated Lady Yunalesca, the woman after whom she had been named. With Yunalesca's cryptic message playing over and over again in her head, she decided to personally kill Sin once and for all.
With the aid of an Al Bhed airship piloted by Cid, Rikku's father, and, in turn, Yuna's uncle, as well as her Guardians and all of her aeons, the group actually entered Sin‘s body, defeating Seymour, who was there, planning to use Sin to make himself all-powerful, for the final time. Defeating Jecht, who had himself become Sin, Yuna and company met Yu Yevon, the corrupt, monstrous Summoner, who attempted to use Yuna's own aeons against her. Killing dark versions of her Aeons to defeat him once and for all, Yuna become the High Summoner of the eternal calm, and, in turn, became famous, despite going against Yevon's teachings. But killing Yu Yevon and Sin came at a terrible price. Tidus, who was nothing more than a dream created by the fayth, faded away. Admitting that she loved him, the two embraced, before Tidus threw himself off of the deck of the airship, entering the Farplane. Deeply saddened by his death, Yuna told the people of Spira that she was going to help things change. With sin gone, life could be peaceful, finally.
"The people and the friends that we have lost... let us never forget them..."
The two years since Yuna defeated Sin were nothing more than a recovery period. She assisted the people get their lives back on track, all the while hiding her relentless depression over Tidus' death. However, when Rikku came to her, showing her a sphere which displayed a person who looked just like Tidus in a prison, she agreed to join the Gullwings, a group of treasure hunters made up of Rikku, Brother, Buddy, and Shinra of the Al Bhed, and newcomer Paine. Thus, High Summoner Yuna was gone. No, now there was only the playful Yuna, a talented sphere hunter wielding guns with surprising skill. They spent a short while just searching the world aimlessly, before anything major happened. But when it did happen, it set about events that would change her life once more. A typical trip to Luca resulted in another sphere hunter named Leblanc stealing Yuna's 'garment grid' a device that enabled her, (along with Rikku and Paine) to access a multitude of new skills. While Rikku and Paine went forth to steal Yuna's grid back, Yuna herself donned a mascot costume resembling a Moogle, to prevent anyone wondering why there was two Yuna's running around.
Moving around the city and giving balloons to people after a misunderstanding, Yuna finally intervened when her fellow Gullwings were cornered by Leblanc's goons Ormi and Logos. Retaking her garment grid, Yuna used the songstress dress sphere to defeat their foes. Their next sphere hunt brought them to Mount Gagazet, home of the remaining Ronso that had survived Seymour’s rage two years prior, as well as their new elder, Kimahri. There, they entered a massive floating ruin, where they ran into Leblanc and her forces once more. After almost falling to her death, Yuna and friends made their way to the top, beating out their opponents and defeating a giant spider- one that was strangely named Boris- to gain the sphere they were looking for. Discovering that it had nothing to do with Tidus, the group returned to the Celcius, only to find that there was work to be done all over Spira. Some were urgent, such as sphere waves from Besaid and Zanarkand, while some were not as important, such as aiding the businessman Tobli in planning his show. Regardless, they went about Spira, helping anyone out who needed it, before finally making their way to Besaid, There, they bumped into Wakka, who told them he was looking for something, although he didn’t specify which. At Lulu’s request, they decided to seek the former Blitzballer out, finding him within a cave on the outskirts of the island. He told them he was looking for a sphere, one that concerned his parents, who died when he was young. Agreeing to find it, they ventured into the cave.
Finding that this sphere had nothing on it that helped either them or Wakka, they made their way to Zanarkand, where, after finding that former Summoner Isaaru had turned it into an amusement park with the aid of Cid, they found half of a sphere. Oh, how useful. Their next stop was Kilika, where the two factions known as the Youth League and New Yevon were fighting over a supposedly ’awesome’ sphere. Of course, being sphere hunters, the Gullwings had to seek out the sphere themselves, no? Sneaking into the temple and taking the sphere for themselves, the group had to decide which team to bring the sphere to, which took a lot of thinking, of course, but was done rather easily. Gaining knowledge that Leblanc herself had the other half of the sphere they had found, the three went to Djose, Gagazet, and finally, Bikanel, stealing uniforms that Leblanc's ‘soldiers’ wore, and snuck into her mansion in Guadosalam, which used to belong to Seymour.
Breaking in, they stole the other half of the sphere, only to be confronted by Leblanc and company once again. After kicking some booty, the Gullwings returned to their airship, taking their three former foes with them. The six broke into Bevelle together, planning to find Vegnagun, a great piece of Machina that could wipe out all of Spira. Defeating Praetor Baralai, the leader of New Yevon, they found that the titan of a machine wasn't actually there, and had a massive hole in it‘s place, with pyre flies coming out in waves. Not only that, but the Gullwings were forced to fight what would be the first of many dark aeons, Bahumat. The next step of their journey took them back to Besaid, then to Kilika, and lastly, Djose, to defeat the dark versions of Valefor, Ifrit, and Txion respectively. However, after defeating the dark version of Ixion, the aeon exploded, knocking Yuna into a hole in the place of the Fayth, a scene that they had witnessed within each and every temple they’d been to. Falling to what should have been her death, Yuna met Shuyin, a man bearing a striking resemblance to Tidus, but someone who was not actually the man she loved. Not at all. No, this man was warped, twisted, and determined to call her Lenne, no matter how many times she stated that she wasn’t. Embracing him, she found that it was actually Baralai, who had been possessed by Shuyin within the Den of Woe years before. After the possessed Praetor disappeared into a portal of his own creation, she ran into Nooj and Gippal, Meyvn of the Youth League and leader of the Machine Faction respectively, who were chasing Baralai down.
Hearing a very familiar whistle, Yuna saw the spirit of Tidus, and thanks to him, made it back to Spira. Deciding to perform a concert in the thunder plains, Yuna donned the songstress outfit once more, only to find that it effected Shinra's equipment, causing everyone to see an image of Shuyin and Lenne, standing before Vegnagun. Lenne was, as it turns out, the spirit within the songstress dress sphere, and that was why Yuna seemed so different when wearing it. Her concert stopping all hostilities between the two factions, the Gullwings went all around Spira, to find that, in most places, things were peaceful once more. Take, for instance, Zanarkand, which had been abandoned one more partially because of Isaaru realising his mistake, and partially because of an abundance of monkey sex, a devious plan thoughy up by, you guessed it, the Gullwings. Another example was Besaid, where Lulu and Wakka finally had their child, a little boy named Vidina, and Wakka finally found his role in life. But finally, to end their journey, the Gullwings traveled into the depths of the Farplane, defeating the rest of the dark Aeons along the way, where they met and defeated Vegnagun once and for all. However, after defeating the titan, they were attacked by Shuyin, who they managed to temporarily trick by having Yuna pretend to be Lenne. However, he eventually saw through their ruse, and they were forced to defeat him in battle, and he returned to the Farplane after some convincing on Lenne's behalf.
As she crossed the Farplane for the last time, Yuna met the Fayth once more. The Fayth was in the form of a small child, whom she recognized as Bahamut’s human form. He asked her if she wanted to see 'him' once more, and she agreed, causing the Pyreflies to return Tidus to life. Her journey finally over, Yuna realized that as long as she loved him, and as long as the dreams of the Fayth could keep him alive, he would exist. Finally able to live a normal life, Yuna left the Gullwings, once again returning to her peaceful life in Besaid.
Three months later, a strange message called the Gullwings together once more to Yadonoki Tower. Fighting their way to the top, they realized that it had, in fact, been Paine who had called them together, to show them that even though they were apart, they would always be together. But that wasn’t the end of their adventures together. At the top of the tower, they found an ancient piece of Machina, which they proceeded to activate, hoping to make up for the lack of what they deemed to be an ’actual’ treasure. But this proved to be a mistake. The machina was actually a device from another world, which altered the reality of Spira, sending it’s denizens to other worlds, some of them becoming completely new people. The worst thing was, none of them remembered each other, except for the Gullwings, as they had been together at the time. It was the beginning of a new adventure, and it would be an interesting one, for sure.
"We're nothing worth mentioning."
The Gullwings were not the Gullwings they once were. Rather, they had been changed into pixie-like creatures, unable to remember why they were in such an unfamiliar world- Radiant Garden, to be more precise- and why they had such an insatiable desire for treasure. Luckily- or perhaps unluckily, depending on who was looking at the situation- a figure approached them, offering to help them unlock their memories. This figure was Maleficent, a powerful witch who wanted nothing more than to take over the worlds. Oh joy. Although not actually evil themselves, the Gullwings began working for her, scouting out the city and spying on it's various citizens. And although their strength was greatly diminished in this form, their new powers were perfectly suited to such a task. Able to fly, and teleport in colored flashes of light, they had no problem moving around quickly.
But when they encountered Sora, and found that Leon had treasure, they decided to turn on Maleficent, aiding the heroes in eliminating the seemingly endless ranks of Heartless. When all of this was done, they continued to travel around the world, hoping to find some knowledge of who they were, as Maleficent had obviously ended up being of no help at all. Encountering the Keyblade Bearer once more, they threatened to steal all of his items, only to realize that he deserved treasure, rather than having it taken away from him. Perhaps this knowledge gave them quite a few karma points, as something happened shortly afterwords to assist them in regaining their memories. On the faraway world of Twilight Town, they found a set of weapons sticking mysteriously out of the top of a hill: two guns, two daggers and a sword. Of course, being the treasure hunters they were, they decided to take them, but physical contact with them gave them more than they'd bargained for.
Gaining the slightest bit of their memories, they regained their human forms in a flash of light, glad to be able to take out those irritating Heartless with quite a bit of ease. But that was not the end of Yuna's discoveries. Feeling the need to journey yet again, for whatever reason, she convinced her fellow Gullwings to accompany her, going off on another adventure into parts unknown.
