Biography
Yu was born in Laelo, Selektra, in District 18, to a single mother named Kyoko Machigai, one of the first Japanese (or human, for that matter) pioneers to Delta 7.

Family
Yu has little family on Delta 7, but has a very wide array of relatives on Earth, in Japan and England. However, she is the oldest of three sisters. Her other two sisters are twins named Sachiko and Megumi. Yu has never met her father, as he died before she was born.

Education
Since the age of seven, Yu has been attending the San Military Academy in Shamlē, the biggest city in District Four. She was recruited when Selektran troops were moving through her hometown, Laelo, in District 18, where several of the soldiers noticed her odd appearance and approached her. It was then that they also noticed Yu healing her friend's scraped knee. Thus, Yu was recruited into the military academy and was given extensive training in medicine. However, after they discovered that Yu was extremely adept in military strategy and marskmanship, they added to her training and nearly sent her into a mental breakdown. In the long run, this saved Yu's life, and gave her the rank of captain by the time she was sixteen.

During her time at San Military Academy, she was given a lot of trouble for her age, as she was several years younger than most of the other students. However, she was paired with an older student who pushed her to her full potential named Jisa Kush. Much of Yu's military success comes from Jisa's aid.
