Yuka Layton
Yuka Layton is one of the protagonists in TNU: Eine Neue Reise Beginnt. She is also part of the crew on the DFS Lavie. Yuka is one of the only characters in the story whom has a disability and her personality was made to mirror that of the primary author of the TNU stories; Josh Hina. Yuka originally came from a story not affiliated with the TNU universe; Yet Another High School RP. She was created by Josh Hina.
Yuka was first introduced in a role play unrelated to TNU called Yet Another High School RP. She was a member of student council at Sophez Academy. Yuka liked hanging out in one of the lounges where people would not bug her. When she left one of her friends tried coming on to her and attempting to confess his unrequited love for her; she responded with hostility and left him there. She would soon meet Julian Derosa. Julian and Yuka develop a friendship over time and she asks him to be her fake boyfriend to stop advances from others. He agrees and after some time passes their relationship escalates. Yuka respects and deeply loves Julian so much so that after they leave high school and he heads off to University and Yuka goes into a state of depression. She snaps out of it though and manages to graduate from community college early. Yuka would soon be transported into the 46th century. Seeing her potential, the Armor Mechanized Corps offers her a commission and pilot training. They then request that a prototype unit that Faith Special Forces was working on be assigned to her. As noted in Yuka’s bio she is legally blind though this was fixed by replacing her blind eye at Starfleet Medical she still sometimes needs glasses (Medical was so focused on fixing her left eye they did not realize her right eye had problems reading). Yuka currently is still working on learning how to use her new eye.
