She has the appearance of a twenty-one year old woman{{ref|group=fn|text=While described as nineteen, the years given are translated for the Rosharan audience the story is being told to,.{{book ref|yumi|1}}{{book ref|yumi|2}} Rosharan years are 1.1x the length of the standard cosmere year,{{wob ref|8086}}{{au ref|Rosharan}} which would make her twenty-one, which is also a member in the [[Artist's sequence of progress]].}}, with light skin and dark hair which comes down to her waist.
 
She is not exactly happy about her life and wishes for something more, but forces herself to accept it, and all the rules accompanied with it, without question. This faith ultimately left her utterly distraught upon learning that it was merely traditionalism, instead of the explicit will of the hijo. Though she eventually did come to question why she is so devoted, and if she could possibly do something more with her life, though she hates herself for the thought.{{book ref|yumi|2}}{{book ref|yumi|4}} This conflict between her wish for more, and her devotion to tradition, defines her relationship with the role of the yoki-hijo, and her life as a whole.
Her experience in the stacking ritual is immense, with the practice from every day over nearly two-thousand years crossing over, despite her loss of memory.
 
As a Cognitive Shadow with a great deal of Investiture, she cannot die of old age, although her perception of herself causes her to age.{{wob ref|16164}} Strangely, despite her Investiture, she is capable of traveling off-world.{{wob ref|16402}}
 
== History ==
She was born under a falling star, which was seen as an omen of her powers as a yoki-hijo and thus she was taken from her parents and raised as one her whole life{{book ref|yumi|2}}, and eventually became renowned for her abilities. This, however, was until the [[father machine]] was activated in an attempt to replace the position, as it was perceived as more efficient. The activation was a disaster however, and nearly everyone on the planet had their souls consumed by the machine, with her being one of the only survivors.
 
The machine, threatened by her, decided to hide her away in a simulation of her former life, hidden away in the [[shroud]], in order to keep her complacent. At the end of every day, she would have her memory of the day erased, so that she would live through it again. This happened for one-thousand seven-hundred and sixty-three years,{{book ref|yumi|38}} until one day her ritual reached its apex, summoning thirty-seven hijo at once, and managed to pull one spirit from the grasp of the machine. Shortly afteringafter giving them out, she passed out in exhaustion.{{book ref|yumi|2}}{{book ref|yumi|39}}

=== Hwanji ===
[[Hwanji]] was yumi's second attendant also under Liyun, and also helps out Yumi by feeding, bathing and dressing her. Hwanji is from a village in [[Torio]] and used to be an attendant under the yoki-hijo [[Dwookim]] until Dwookim retired. Hwanji likes to hum while helping Yumi and worries that she would be blamed by Liyun when Nikaro (as Yumi) started acting more rebellious, though Yumi assured her she would tell Liyun it wasn't her fault. Hwanji informed Yumi about the reform movement.{{book ref|yumi|22}}
