Umeko Yukimura

Yukimura Umeko is a member of Etherea, and is part of the subunit HallowBlades. Her older sister, Momoka, is also part of Etherea.

Personality
Umeko is a very shy and girly girl, despite being a member of HallowBlades. She loves magical girls with a passion and has a strong love for the magical girl show Kiratto Stars, along with her friend, Hotaru. Umeko's love for magical girls is so strong that she secretly wishes to become a magical girl herself. Besides magical girls, Umeko has a love for fairytales and fantasy stories. She also loves certain subgenres of pop, rock, metal and EDM music despite her girliness. Even though she's a member of HallowBlades, Umeko can get very scared easily by quite a few things, including the dark, thunder, snakes, spiders, ghosts and zombies. Because of her cowardliness, Umeko dislikes Halloween and spends the night doing her own activities.

Before Etherea
Childhood:

Umeko actually used to be a cheerful girl full of energy. However, one day during her 3rd year in elementary school, the class she was in at the time was presenting their dreams. Umeko, full of confidence and enthusiasm, told the class that she wanted to become a magical girl. However, the class didn't take her seriously and laughed at her, some students going to the point of making fun of her for such a silly wish. Traumatized by the event, Umeko's personality changed drastically, going from a cheerful and excited girl to an introverted and shy one, making it difficult for her to make friends.

Sometime shortly after the bullying, Umeko happened to find a worn out penguin plush. Inspired by the fact that they've both been "abandoned" in a way, she decided to salvage and fix the lost plush and keep it as her own. She named it "Popo" and has treasured it ever since as her fairy partner, giving her just enough courage to continue to chase her dream of becoming a magical girl. Despite this, Umeko still remains more reserved and shy around others, especially when it comes to her dreams.
