Yumiko Kitsune/Spoilers

Getting to know Chigusa
I see you have gained interest in learning about this young woman.

You would rather read through her backstory than to actually get to know her in the city.

Very well then. I cannot control your actions anyway.

History


Yumiko Kitsune grew up in Okinawa, Japan. She had lost her mother at a very young age. In fact, she barely has any memories of her as she was raised mostly by her grandfather when her father had left her to take care of business at Los Santos and other cities. Bitter about such things, Yumiko left home and joined an elite organization that trained the lost youth who were hungry and passionate for a different kind of education and training. Yumiko would go home every night with various excuses for her blood drenched school uniform. The men under Kitsune Yakuza had reported her activities back to her father, but he was too busy to take action on the matter right away. Yumiko eventually climbed ranks within the organization and was one of the "skilled students" of her batch. She was called the "Nogitsune" which translated to the Dark Fox as her family name Kitsune meant Fox. Eventually, her father had returned to Japan which forced Yumiko to pull out of this organization before an important contract was set up. She had asked one of her partners who was a skilled hacker in the organization to help her escape by deleting all her files from the database. Since then, she would introduce herself as Chigusa in public to avoid anyone that might be coming after her from the organization she had escaped from. A few months later, she received news about the death of a close friend she had within the organization. This sent Chigusa downhill especially during an important date for her where she had to battle the three leaders of the Yakuza clan in order to gain her rite of passage within the family. With clouded thoughts, she failed her family and herself. Since then she would put a facade to avoid the reminder of her failure as the daughter of the Yakuza Boss. Chigusa built a wall around her, getting rid of any emotional attachment she would have with the people she would meet in her life. Since then, she became stronger as a person and as a leader. Eventually, she was capable of leading her own people and helping the family grow in the absence of the actual leader; however, no respect was given to her despite her time and effort she sacrificed for the family. Her eyes opened up to the realization that she should not have to deal with such treatment as she can take care of herself and become an independent woman in a different city. The last straw pushed Chigusa out of Japan, leaving the family she helped build throughout the years, and pursused a better life in Los Santos where she could start fresh.

Los Santos
Chigusa flew to Los Santos on July 31, 2022. Her whole day was filled with misfortune but with good company. She was shot down by locals twice during sanitation and a Dodo Delivery job. At this point, Chigusa just accepted all other bad luck that came her way that day. This did not stop her from grinding for she started her day with a hundred bucks in her pockets and ended it with $30,000 in her bank account. She met Myles Knight and Simon Sovva who accompanied her and showed her around the city. Chigusa does not usually talk to people she does not trust or know all too well; however, now that she has moved to Los Santos, she thought a change in this aspect would do her good; however, upon meeting Babis the Dodo Manager, she had become quite awkward and unable to respond to his compliments about how her voice was "soothing and relaxing" and even referred it to as "ASMR". Chigusa continued adjusting to being more sociable in public and has pushed herself out of her comfort zone in order to survive the city of Los Santos. Towards the end of her first day, she ran into James Pitts, a man she greeted with a smack at the back of the head, and Misha Standall, a man who works at the "Department of Corruption" that defended her at UWU Cafe when a rude employee had demanded Chigusa to pay once again after she had already made a payment. This employee pissed Chigusa off, but Misha stood in the way to pay double just to get the employee to shut up and move on. She appreciated this man's gesture and has decided to put him on her good list.

Chigusa got hired at UWU Cafe and Roosters Rest during her first week in the city, making a number of friends and acquaintances along the way. Her Day 1 group of friends gathered some cash to purchase a motel at Harmony which Chigusa decorated into a cozy and modern club house for the grinder gang. Babis pushed Chigusa to apply for Dodo Interviews as he claimed to see great potential in her; however, during the queue of the interview, Chigusa found herself wandering around the city due to terrible headaches and stumbled upon someone selling a Carbon RS which was her second dream bike to own. She immediately purchased the bike and took out a loan from Diamond Hands and has been grinding hard to pay her bills. Compared to UWU Cafe, Chigusa felt more comfortable with the crowd she surrounded herself with at Roosters Rest especially when the people she met shared the same interests and dark twisted fantasies as her. Luk Zwiebel brought Chigusa along to her first pool party where they featured an adult film in a mansion of a person she knew little about. She met her masked twin from Roosters Rest, Vincent Genovese aka Vin Scratch, who brought her to her first beach concert performed by MDM Records at North Chumash wherein they dressed as pirates as Chigusa did not know what to wear for a beach party. Vincent would call Chigusa Chi and eventually had her name evolve into Cheese Puff which stuck with others that met Chigusa during sanitation runs as they would call her Big Cheese and Puff Baby. Vin and Chi had a DEEP and MEANINGFUL CONVERSATION about their past lives as they promised each other to tell the tale behind their masked faces as they used to jest with each other on false stories behind their eyepatch and masks. Upon uncovering their tragic and depressing stories that led them to Los Santos, they promised to one another in front of the great birch tree that they would become new and better people from that day on and took a leap of faith. Literally.





A few weeks later, Fred Wallace invited Chigusa to do sanitation runs with G Baby and Chris Park. This led to even more grinding sessions with the group especially since Vincent had been gone for so long since she did her first mining run with Fred, Chris, and Sunhee. Chigusa was given the street name Big Cheese by G Baby due to Fred constantly introducing Chigusa as Cheese Puff to the rest of his group of grinders. She got addicted to grinding lifestyle and had been excited to come along Fred's group every time she would wake up as she thought it was the most efficient and fun grinding group, she's ever been in. It has gotten to a point where she and Fred had done Dodo Express jobs together since she was hired as a junior driver. To reach their quotas for the month, the two decided it was more convenient for them to do Dodos together and earn at least $30,000 a day. This made their earnings grow even more daily as Chigusa would still hold down Roosters Rest when she would rather chill at work. Chigusa was grateful for that day Fred had invited her to do sanitation work with them for she would have never gotten to grind so much to the point that she had become a millionaire in a span of two months. Chigusa had developed an unexpectedly great friendship with Fred throughout their Dodo jobs as they would talk about the most random things in life and have such an intellectual conversation about it throughout their drives. Although Chigusa would always blatantly express to the people she would hang out with that she has no interest to get into any romantic relationship whatsoever, her platonic friendship with Fred was perceived as something with malicious intent to the feeble-minded which caused Chigusa to hesitate on whether or not she should continue being friends with Fred since she hated the drama that was blown out of proportion; however, she did not want to lose her best friend over something stupid, so she chooses to live with it and not give a fuck.



Every now and then, Chigusa would get dropped off after Dodo by Fred at the Roosters Rest or the Roosters Reef to hang out with one of her other friends, JJ. She took interest in this unique individual as she would always hear his voice at the restaurant. She would hear him yelling into his megaphone, "Buy HUWeEed!" at the Roosters Reef and she would always feel bad for this man's sore throat. JJ would come around often to purchase a tea with extra honey to soothe his throat. Chigusa developed a good friendship with JJ ever since she took him on a Dodo job where she got to learn all about his past in the city and how he would teach her how to speak Slovak. Often times, Chigusa's act of kindness and appreciation can be perceived differently to other people, she would always mean well and nothing more. She would ALWAYS make sure to tell people that she does not want any romantic relationship with anyone to clear things up before spending time with people who might misinterpret her friendliness to certain people.



Throughout all the problems she had ever gone through in the city, Liam Onita, her "big brother", would be the only person she felt comfortable enough to rage rant and vent upon with all the drama she has been through. She felt safe and secure around Liam especially since she saw herself in him when it comes to their similar interests and nearly similar past. Chigusa enjoyed speaking to Liam in Korean at the Roosters Rest. She had recently gotten to know her Oppa even more as he finally opened up to her about how he came to be and how his eyes, hair, and face would often change every time he would wake up with no memory whatsoever. Chigusa swore to help him find a doctor/scientist and a paranormal expert to help sort things out with Liam's situation as he mentions his critical condition and of his end coming soon.



Chigusa had switched over to Security Work at the Roosters Rest as she aimed to be a part of CBPD someday. Throughout her whole work hours, she had to assert dominance twice as she was the only security on duty at that time. The first instance was when Loona Lee had reported that a man in a chicken mask had been sleeping in the staff room staircase claiming to be collecting receipts when he did not even work at the Rest. Chigusa threatened him with a last warning before Loona picked him up and threw him outside of the establishment. The second instance was when Gwyar had been suspiciously lurking around the Roosters Rest, hunting for new victims for his entertainment; however, Fred Wallace was able to warn her before anything further happened as she demanded for his identification card. He refused over and over again to the point that Francis Angel Luis had cuffed him to search his pockets only to find a blunt hammer and a news camera. Shiro Hayabusa and Quimbley came in alerting Chigusa of this man's previous crimes in the Roosters Rest which made her more protective of the people inside the Rest. Shiro reported that he had seen Gwyar circling around the block in his bicycle, most likely waiting for his next prey which pushed Zack, one of the other security staff on duty, to approach him across the establishment. Gwyar then called the cops on the whole situation which then, in turn, we had given our sides of the story as well. This ended up with restraining orders being worked in the process and having Gwyar banned from the Roosters Rest and the establishment across. Chigusa was commended for her taking initiative in the whole situation and for having a firearm with her whilst on duty.
