Character: Yukimura Keiko
Series: Yuu Yuu Hakusho
Character Age: 17
Canon: Yuu Yuu Hakusho is the story of Captain Badass Spirit Detective Yuusuke Urameshi (and friends), being shounen retards and fightin' round the world. Keiko is Yuusuke's girlfriend (despite neither of them really acknowledging it until the very end of the series), and the two of them have the type of Very Special Relationship seen only in shounen anime, in which the most badass man on the planet is utterly topped by a tiny girl with no powers, because she is just that hardcore.

Keiko is friendly and polite, the class president and a straight-A student -- basically Yuusuke's polar opposite. But she's no damsel in distress -- when the going gets tough, she's very willing to beat her demonically possessed homeroom teacher with a broom handle (and apologize for it, of course). It's hard to unsettle her. After all, she's seen souls hatch into penguins; she's sat in the stands of a tournament surrounded by demons and watched man-hungry flowers tear people apart; she's seen her boyfriend with fangs and claws and David Bowie-esque hair... and yet she still manages to turn in her homework on time.

[Note: Keiko is being apped post-series. Permission was kindly granted to verbally abuse mention Yuusuke in the app. ♥]

YUUSUKE! I know you're around here somewhere! Don't think hiding is going to help you. You realize you'll never amount to anything if you keep blowing off your job for zombie camp, don't you? This is the third time. And don't even think about trying that "I'm saving the world" excuse again. That only works so many times before it starts sounding like your equivalent of "I'm going out with the guys."

Most boys wouldn't put a girl through this, you know. I actually had to punch an endangered species on my way in here, which is more distressing than any lake monsters or zombies could ever be. The poor thing was obviously lost and far from its natural habitat... Of course, that didn't excuse its rudeness. But all it took was a little bit of tough love, and he offered to carry my bookbag and escort me here. It's amazing how far a little bit of manners will get you. Thank you, Mr. Gorilla! Come back anytime.

Speaking of manners, where are mine? Hello everyone, I'm Keiko. It's a pleasure to meet you all, I'm sure. It's nice to see that you're taking this place so well (it is pretty laid back, for an infestation of the undead), but I couldn't help noticing the distressing lack of attention to academic pursuits. You all have a future to consider once you get out of here! We may be away from school, but that's no excuse to slack off on our studies, right? All it takes is a little bit of hard work and dedication. If you can take on a zombie, you can take on an exam!

With that in mind, I'd be happy to help tutor anyone who's interested. For the less studious among you -- and believe me, I know your type -- I have incentives. For every question you answer correctly, you get a gold star. When you have ten gold stars, I'll let you go blow something up. This way, everyone wins!
