Kasukabe Yō

Kasukabe Yō  (春日部 耀, Kasukabe You) is the third protagonist of "Mondaiji Tachi ga Isekai Kara Kuru So Desu Yo?". Yō is a young teenage girl from the future and currently one of the core members of the community No Name bearing the gifts of Genome Tree and No Former.

Appearance
Yō is a petite young girl with short brown hair that she keeps back with a hair clip. She usually wears an open white and blue jacket, that is ankle-length and splits into two ends past her thighs. She also wears a white blouse underneath and a pair of orange-brown shorts, as well as black knee-high socks and tall brown boots. A blue band is wrapped twice around her wrists and around her neck is her Gift Genome Tree which she got from her father. The wood carving is attacked to a black band necklace.

When utilizing her Gift's true power the wood carving changes into an item or piece of armor for Yō to utilize.

Pegasus Boots: Her wood carving transforms and forms into silver, armor boots with wings adorn on them.

Personality
Introverted and laconic, Yō is a very quiet and introverted girl, preferring the company of her many animal friends than actual people. Before arriving in Little Garden, she had yet to make a human friend, and as a result her friendship with the [No Names] is very precious to her. Despite her quiet nature, Yō is anything but shy and approaches most situations, both dangerous and mundane, with confidence, as well as showing great curiosity towards the world. Though she is driven to prove her worth and help her friends, Yō still struggles to accept help in return, as shown by her reluctance to take a partner into her Gift Game against Ayesha and Jack, a trait the latter was able to notice.

Yō's personality takes from her father who used to be laconic and caring to his comrades. She is friendly, despite showing little emotions other than times when she's hungry or satiated, and fiercely protective of her friends. Yō is also a bright young girl and a fast learner, being able to copy and utilize Izayoi's technique of solving the riddles in the Gift Games, as seen in volume 4. During her time in Little Garden she begins to show an improvement in both her way of thinking and in her own self esteem, growing more confident with herself.

Background
Yō was bedridden for most of her life due to a weak physical constitution. However, she was frequently visited by her father, who told her stories of his travels. Her friends did not believe her when she told them of her ability to speak to animals or even of the exploits of her father such as the Gryphon story and she gradually redrew further into the animal kingdom for her friends.

Volume 1
Yō arrives alongside Izayoi and Asuka in the world of Little Garden, being summoned by a letter sent by Black Rabbit. She introduces herself to the others while drying of Calico Cat' fur with a cloth. Shortly after Izayoi and Asuka revealed they noticed a person hiding from them, Yō reveals that she could smell the person. Once Black Rabbit was driven out from her hiding spot by Izayoi, Yō was the second to chase after her, hoping from one tree to the next with incredible acrobatic skills. Once she realized the girl was a rabbit, Yō pulled on one of the ears to sate her curiosity, her actions followed by the other two.

Black Rabbit introduced herself and began explaining the world of Little Garden along wth the Gift Games. When the explanations were finished, Yō was invited to play a small game, and while she developed a tactic to ensure her victory, it was unable to be practiced as Izayoi's method secured her and Asuka's victory. Excited about this new world, Yō follows the moon rabbit to the leader of her community. Though once it was revealed Izayoi went missing, Yō revealed that she noticed and decided not to say anything as it was too much of a bother.

Black Rabbit headed off after Izayoi, leaving Yō and Asuka with Jin Russell. Jin took them to a cafe where Yō reveals a small portion of her power; the ability to understand animals. Asuka's compliment was meat with Yō questioning the other girl's power. Before Yō could get an answer they were interrupted by the appearance of Galdo Gasper. There Yō and Asuka learned the truth regarding why they were summoned; because the community that summoned them was in need of help. Yō originally came to Little Garden to have friends, and by making one through Asuka, had decided to join the No Names and decline Galdo's offer to join his community. Yō stopped him from harming anyone, and agreed to participate in a gift game against Fores Garo.

Yō follows the others to the [Thousand Eyes] shop and meets Shiroyasha. When she found out that Shiroyasha was the "Strongest Host", Yō wanted to challenge her. Shiroyasha summoned a Game Board representing the White Night, shocking Yō.

Gifts
Genome Tree: A creation-type Gift. Yō has the Gift to communicate with animals and use the abilities/characteristics of the species she has befriended by sampling and recreating them as her own. Her gift comes from a small circular wooden medallion given to her by her father that has the Tree of Life, the evolution of life and the system of the life cycle, carved into it. Shiroyasha has commented that Yō's father must have been a great genius to be able to carve the Tree of Life onto such a small circular medallion. Later, it is revealed that it was not carved by her father but the Dystopia Demon Lord. No Former - It is the gift that keeps her from becoming a chimera by the the use of Genome Tree. It has been stated that the Gift originated from her mother. Currently there is speculation that the source of the gift is also the Dystopia Demon Lord.

 * Animal - Elephant - Enhanced Strength: Yō has shown to imitate the strength of an elephant (around 10 tons). However she doesn't use this ability anymore due to her Celtic Titan enhanced strength.
 * Animal - Bat - Echolocation: Yō has been shown to be capable of imitating the ability of echolocation of a bat. This grants her limited night vision, and sonar abilities.

It grants her much higher speed as well a greater control over her body while flying. It also greatly increases her leg kicking power and speed.
 * King of the Lightning Spirits - Kirin-Themed - Trident: Yō has been shown to create a Kirin-themed trident, which is capable of defeating very powerful opponents in a single shot of the lightning element. It has defeated even a Hippogryph (a 3rd gen. Eudemon that has the lightning element) with a single attack.

Eudemon - Fire Rat-Themed - Leather Lamellar Armor: Yō has been shown to create Salamander/Rat or "Fire Rat"-themed leather lamellar armor that is capable of nullifying most fire attacks including Ignis Fatuus (a hell fire of sorts) by Willa-the-Ignis-Fatuus.

 * Befriending - Power-Boost: Each time Yō befriends any being that is either an animal, Eudemon, or a Divine Beast she gets stronger based on the power of the said animal or Eudemon. Currently her power (physical stats and senses besides her sense of hearing) is above that Black Rabbit who is extremely powerful physically and it wouldn't be inaccurate to put her in 2nd in terms of power in the No Name's behind Sakamaki Izayoi.
 * Healing - Power-Boost: Each time Yō has been damaged severely she becomes more powerful. It most likely has something to do with evolution, as to compensate for her lack of strength at the time.
