Sawa Yukimura

Sawa "Yuki" Yukimura (雪村 咲羽, Yukimura Sawa) is the main character in miniseries Joran: The Princess of Snow and Blood. She is a member of the blue-blooded clan with special powers. She is from Karasumori village and clan in Aomori and her real name is Sawa Karasumori.

Appearance
Sawa is of petite size, with skin the color of snow. She has contrasting dark eyes against her pale skin and pitch black hair in which she ties up. Her normal attire of a dark gray kimono with a purple obi. Alongside red and white detailing in her outfit; mixing neutral, cool, and warm colors in her color palette.

When activating her powers her attire changes. Her dark eyes and lips turn pure blue against her pale skin. Her kimono becomes gray with a undershirt of a light blue. Instead of her dark hair being up she lets it flow down.

Personality
Sawa is a determined woman who has a clear objective and will do everything in her power to fulfill her revenge. She also appears to have a cold, emotionless personality, even though she truly does care and holds a lot of emotion in her heart. She takes justice seriously, as she told Asahi to kill her in order for her to avenge her parents. As the story goes on, Sawa drastically changes and wishes to not kill anyone else, going to the point of attempting suicide.

Natural Abilities
Not only does Sawa possess advanced skills in hand-to-hand combat, she also holds supernatural abilities due to her blue blood. She of course has the mental and physical strength of any other executioner but her abilities are what make her different. She activates her powers by holding her arm out and saying the phrase "You, who would violate the foundation of what makes a man, dwell now in the blue that surges within."

Her appearance alters and she becomes stronger and even more powerful.

Like the rest of clan, she possesses an regenerative healing factor, but it could not save her from the wound Rinko gave in her back.

Synopsis
Sawa possesses the great mental strength, physical strength, and skills of any executioner. Ostensibly, she is the owner of the Morning Dew Used Bookstore. However, behind the scenes, she lives as the executioner of "Nue". She avoids getting involved with others and is not very friendly. She is strict with herself and others.
