Background: Yoki spent her early years living with her parents at a homestead in south east Timberline Falls. Her mom actually worked well with some peaceful grawl in the area, and Yoki learned some basic healing skills from her mother as well as wilderness skills from her father. While she was out exploring a small avalanche trapped her in a cave with a snow leopard cub. She was found in short order, and the cub stayed with her from that point onward.

When she was a young teenager, her aunt, uncle, and older cousin, who all lived in northern Wayfarer, were killed in a Svanir raid. Her grandmother Kadlin had been living with them but was away travelling at the time. Her parents decided to pack up their homestead, taking everything they could with them to let the land go back to its natural state, and they moved to the south part of Wayfarer and set up there, with Kadlin moving in with them. Yoki's grandmother started training her in some of the skills, practices, and knowledge she has as a shaman, working to train Yoki to fill her place eventually.

As a young adult, Yoki started out exploring on her own, with various animals, including her snow leopard, by her side. During this time she joined up with an assorted group of people who decided to try to make a name for themselves in aiding with the fight against the dragons. Being asked about orders, Yoki decided to join the Vigil, liking their ideals of helping those in need, doing charity work, protecting those who can't protect themselves, and so forth.

Around this time she also met her beloved, Valmit, and they quickly discovered how much they had in common and found themselves enjoying each others company more and more.

Eventually, the group she had been working with disbanded. She and Valmit have since found an area in Timberline and are working to build a homestead together, with plenty of space for them, all their friends - including their many animals, and their expected growing family together.


Current Activities: Raising her family with Valmit on the homestead they built near Timberline. She also assists her Grandmother in some of her shaman activities when she can.
