Appearance
Yuu wears a nondescript, indifferent, reclusive facial expression; not perpetually annoyed, but not the kind you'd randomly approach (unless you're Alma), either. He carries himself with quiet solidness; doesn't stand out, but just there. His hair is never a subject of complaints from the higher-ups. His uniform is tidy, and when he's not wearing them he wears mostly casual clothes. He's tall and properly packed with average jock's muscles. If he ever seems intimidating, it's unintentional.
History
Yuu was born in a small town in Okinawa prefecture, Japan . His father was a member of US Air Force stationed in Kadena at that time; his mother was a local woman working as a cook in the air base's cafeteria. Alex was a result of two weeks' worth of romance and a night of passion. Grey Reeves was relocated without knowing that he had a child out of wedlock.
Yuu spent the first fifteen years of his life with his mom and his grandma, living a peaceful life helping out in the family farm (orchids and Mandarin oranges). As an only child, he grew attached to and protective of his mom and grandma. He realized very quickly that his mother, though gentle and kind-hearted, didn't have what it took to lead a family. Yuu did. With his grandma increasingly aging, Yuu assumed the head-of-the-family role since ten years old, making most of the decisions and earning for the family. Otherwise, he usually spent his time playing basketball or studying for scholarship after scholarship in local public schools.
One summer, when Yuu just turned twelve, Grey Reeves, finally retired from the military, went to find Ayaka Kikuchi again and found out that Ayaka had a son. Tired of living alone, Grey asked Ayaka to move back to US with him and get married. Yuu was opposed to this at first, but at that time grandma Kikuchi just passed away and Yuu wasn't sure he could make ends meet. Plus Ayaka had always been in love with Grey.
Grey had a pretty good life back in America. More than well-off, actually. Despite everything, Yuu constantly missed his hometown in Okinawa. Grey thought Yuu would be more comfortable going to a high school that has Japanese ways. His mother suggested Second Heaven, off he went.
Personality
Keywords: NONE
Yuu usually keeps to himself, preferring to be alone with his books or his music than hanging out with other kids. The only time he tolerates crowd is when he plays Kendo or basketball (used to playing street, with American soldiers or fellow Kadena kids). His life revolves around studying, music, basketball, tinkering with his motorcycle (Yamaha FZ-1, bought by the money he saved from thirteen years old), and family.
He's focused, determined, and most of the time very serious. His idea of relaxing is reading, playing sports, or piano. He was never professionally trained, but he loved playing anyway. Yuu isn't cold per se, he can smile and he has some sense of humor. He's just… a little antisocial.
He's just learning to loosen up because Father Dear happened and he doesn't have to worry so much about the family anymore. He loves his mom very much and wishes only the best life for her. He struggles to feel the same for his Dad; it's hard, but Grey is slowly earning his respect.
He also has a three-year-old little sister whom he's very overprotective of :3
