Creation
When I first created Yumiko, she was supposed to be an adult and a part of the Akatsuki.that was supposed to be a mission to join Akatsuki and discover their secrets,but I gave up on that. she was supposed to have Ice Release Kekkei Genkai. she was also supposed to have wind,fire and earth chakra natures, but I gave up on them too. then I gave her the Crystal Release Kekkei Genkai. but then I remembered that only Guren can use this kekkei genkai. so I gave up on that too. I really wanted to give Yumiko a kekkei genkai so i thought of many things like: Thunder Release, Stone Release, Smoke Release and other stuff. then i finally thought of Diamond Release and I liked the idea. I kept it and made it Yumiko's kekkei genkai. later on I was inspired by many OCs over Youtube and Deviantart, and I got new ideas for her current outfit and, that's it i guess. I think that back then she was a total Mary-sue. i am not sure if today she is a Mary-sue...
