Her skin has tanned a lot more and her feet have hardened up because she keeps taking her boots off on deck. 

FASHION STYLE :

— Yuni wore a shorter dress, it fell below her knees, and ankle boots. She usually wore an apron just to help keep her clothing cleaner but she did have nicer dresses that she didnt wear one with. She always kept her hair braided, sometimes with jewels or flowers in it. She can braid her hair but it has to be two smaller ones now. She has pants that are too short for her, tall boots and a button up shirt that is too big for her. She wears a belt with a place for a sword but doesnt own a sword to put there. Her binder is getting dirty and smelly

“I'm only in trouble if I get caught so I'll just not get caught”

PERSONALITY : Brave, personable, caring, stubborn, vauge, wild
Yuni is the one that will do something new, sometimes dangerous. She likes trying new things and proving to people that she will do the thing. She will not back down from a challenge, even if it is a little dangerous. She just cant say no. She has the type of personality people can easily get along with, she tries to do her best to get along with people but she can be pushed too far and she doesnt have any interest in trying to be nice to you any more. She does care about people in general though, if she can help people she wants to. There are enough ty people in the world, if she can be a nice one she will. 
Yuni does not back down from her beliefs. It is pretty hard to get her to change her mind once she made it up. She takes a lot to have her believe you but once you've broken her trust she will not give it back to you. Sometimes its like she lives in her own world and only half of the conversation gets to other people. She somtimes also will try to put an entire scentence into one word then expect people to understand what she meant. She doesnt usually make sense when she talks, it usually takes a few times for her to get her point across but its how she talked to her family so its how she still talks now. She likes to take risks, have fun in life. She doesnt like following the safety rules and often gives the gunner a heart attack. 

BACKGROUND : Yuni remembers when it was just the three of them. They had an apartmet down town, it was small but it was a lot of fun all the time. Her mother would bring her out with her at night so she could explore around town and her father would take care of them in the morning. When her siblings started coming around things changed though, they had to move away from the city for more room and land to start farming. Things got harder and harder the more siblings showed up. 
After the twins birth Yuni's mom got sick, really sick. Her father couldn't hardly do anything but take care of her so it fell to Yuni and Shinyoung to take care of the youngers and to farm the land. Their grandparents came around all the time to help out but it was still a strain on the young family. 
When her mother passed her father shut down. He spent all his time away from the family and out in the feild. Yuni stepped up a lot to take care of the young ones, Shinyong verbalized his annoyance with having to help and their grandfather was around as much as possible. Her father eventually worked himself to death, the doctors said his heart gave out from working so much. It left a place for her grandparents to move in and help the family. 
Yuni was sixteen when she became a surragat mother to her sisters and brothers. Her grandfather and brother worked the feild while she and her grandmother cared for the younger ones. It was expecially hard with Jiyong, she was weak when she was born and wasnt growing like she should have been, the doctors said it was because she didnt have enough of their moms milk. Yuni's grandmother spent most of her time tending to Jiyong so Yuni was left with Daejung, Gun and Kwanghyok. 
Over the years Yuni lost most of her chances to be young. She spent all of her time with her grandmother at the farm, no festivals, no boys, no fun. She did things with the little ones that were fun to them but never adult fun, it was what she wanted to do though, be there for them and help out. 
Yuni's grandmother was always talking about the faries and the pirates, that the pirates were actually dark fairies but not all of them. She loved talking about the fairies, even drew them from time to time, it was one of Jiyongs favorite things, her grandmothers fairies. 
Two years ago Shinyoung left the family. He had been talking with one of the officials of Sinuichon about getting a job and moving away from the farm. He never sent word or anything, just dissappeared one day. Eventually his grandfather found him but he wouldnt come home. Yuni even went to find him but he wouldn't even talk to her. He wanted nothing to do with the family and made it very clear that he thought very little of them all. They argued, Yuni said some nasty things and Shinyoung said some worse things. He swore he would never go back for anything. Yuni was seething but did her best to not show that to the little ones. 
Things started getting hard at the farm. They didnt have enough hands to get the food in from the field, even with Yuni and Daejung helping. Jiyong was getting worse and her grandmother was having more and more bad episodes. Gun started getting into trouble, she was pickpocketing in the town square and wasnt very good at it. She was brought home for Yuni to deal with. Things just started piling on top of eachother over the next year. One morning Jiyong was struggling to breathe. It took her another day to pass. For weeks after their grandmother kept asking where Jiyong was and would go off looking for her, some times in the middle of the night. Yuni or her grandfather was always able to find her and bring her back but every time they were worried she wasnt going to come back. 
The last time she wandered away she came back delirious with fever and a broken arm. She kept ranting about how Yuni was a fairy that was delivered to her parents for safe keeping from the pirates and she needed to find her family. At one point she even tried to start packing Yuni's things so she could leave but her grandfather got her back into bed. When the doctor came he said that her grandmother probably wouldn't make it through the night. They had the family gather in their grandmothers room, it was also the same night Yuni met Daejung's suiter and she liked him, so they could start saying goodbye. She kept asking for Jiyong but no one could tell her. Eventually their grandfather said she would see Jiyong soon, that they just had to wait a little bit. 
She ended up passing in her sleep and was buried next to the rest of the family out near the field. The day was bright, sunny and tufts of all kinds of plants were blowing in the wind. She would have said it was the fairies decorating the air. Yuni thought it was a fitting day for her funeral. 
Her grandfather gave her a thick letter, the paper was heavy and probably more expensive than what she had saved up. It was tied with ribbon and had a wax seal closing it. The only thing written on it was her name. Rolled inside was a note from her grandmother and mother, explaining that they wanted to tell her one day but they never knew how to and it was better this way. There was another small one from her grandmother, wirtten more reciently by the messy penmaship. It said that the fairies were coming back and she should have warned Yuni before today.
The letter was from a man named Ch'u Chunho, he was a sailor on the Abandoned Barnicle and his wife was a travelor named Bydthya from Prieçia. He didnt know if she was still alive or if he would be alive when she read this, if she even was going to read this. He and Bydthya were her real parents, they were pirates and mercenaries for hire, they met on a job and were instantly attracted to eachother. They were together for two years before Yuni came along but they knew they couldnt raise a child where they were. They lived in Sinuichon for nine months while Bydthya was pregnant and a few months to decide what to do. It was hard but they found a couple they trusted and liked, they paid them a heafty amount and would send them money periodically for the upkeep for Yuni. They were to watch over her until they could come back for her, probably once she was sixteen or so, just so she would be old enough to understand what her parents were going to say to her and decide for herself if she wanted to stay in Sinuichon or some with them. It was one of the hardest things they ever did, leaving her with Su'i and Pyongchol but they were good people. Hopefully they will meet her soon, expecially if she is reading this. 
It took three days for Yuni to want to even look at her grandfather again. He had been keeping this from her for years, they wanted to meet her eight years ago and it wasn't his decision if she wanted to meet them or not, not his. It also took that amount of time for her to decide that she did want to find and meet them, but now she was having the trouble of how to look for them. 
The port authority had never heard of the Abandoned Barnicle, the trade master had never heard of it and the pirates that were at the market had never heard of it either. As a last ditch effort Yuni went to the jail to ask the pirates there, one had heard of it but last he heard it went down years ago. It was in port here and tried to  fight its way through a hurricane but it didnt get out of sight of shore. Sometimes at low tide you can even go out to see the wreckage. The pirate had heard about Ch'u Chunho, he was the first mate of the ship when it went down but he didnt know if anyone made it off. 
Yuni started a four month long search for any information on the Abandoned Barnicle and it took that long to find anything out. Apparently, after the storm another ship called El Broosha picked up a bunch of sailors so she started searching for information on El Broosha, which was easier considering it was a trade vessil marked for entery in a few days. Ch'u Chunho was one of the sailors picked up but he left a few months later for a new ship, his own ship, the Broken Rose. News of the Broken Rose got to Yuni quickly, it was an active ship that most often took port in Spenia. Yuni started gathering her things and looking into a way to get to Spenia but no ships were headed that way, none but pirate ships. Her grandfather forbade her from going onto a pirate ship, no proper woman was going to go on a pirate ship and he was still her grandfather, regardless of what a paper says. 
Yuni knew she couldnt go on a pirate ship, it was just too dangerous. She dug around her house to find mens clothes that would fit her, a few differant caps she could tuck her hair into and a way to bind her chest. After considering it she ended up chopping a lot of her hair off. It used to fall down to her low back but she lobbed it to her shoulders to make it easier to hide. 
Yang Sochun started looking for a ship to board, there was no way she was going to give her real name, it would give her away in an instand. Two ships werent accepting anyone for anything but the Nightingale was still taking on a few. Sochun took whatever she could
