Yufi is usually a laid back person, calmly talking about anything in a calm and collected, but relaxed, manor. However, if she senses even the slightest bit of seriousness in the air, instincts as a soldier turn her blunt, aggressive, even rude and potentially violent if the situation is extreme enough. She's not hesitant to throw punches first if she deems a problem going down that road, and even the smallest eeriness or need for caution in the air will put her on high alert. Metaphorically, she is one to always sleep with a knife under her pillow

Special Abilities
Judgement: By the power of the light, Yufi can declare someone as needing retribution or judgement, as a golden, ethereal hammer made of light launches from her person to her target.
Lightblessed Shield: Specialized in one-handed weaponry and shields, Yufi has developed common Paladin techniques from her world to concentrate the energy of the Light into any given shield to grant special powers, such as added physical protection, more damage done when using said shield offensively, and even being able to throw her shield, have it bounce from target to target, and return to her with ease
Concentration: A call down of highly concentrated holy energy, strong enough to crack the ground around Yufi and have holy energy seep through the cracks in the ground. This holy energy burns like fire to anyone who steps in the consecrated area if Yufi deems them an enemy, or if they have any kind of unholiness or corruption within them. The effects of Concecration persist heavily throughout the course of 10 seconds, but afterwards rapidly fizzles out
Flash of LIght: A small flash of healing energy, capable of healing small cuts and bruises, but will heal more and more severe wounds and injuries the more Yufi casts this on someone. The more Yufi casts Flash of Light, the more it tires her and wears her out, and after her limit of 5 casts she is unable to cast again until she recovers her strength
Lay on Hands: A massive burst of healing energy, capable of healing anyone of equal or weaker health to Yufi of any and all injuries. However, this instantly makes her faint, as she releases all of her energy into Lay on Hands
Divine Shield: A concentration of Yufi's Lightblessed Shield to form a see-through shield or "bubble" around her entire person, which is impenetrable to all attacks of any kind. Yufi must have her shield raised completely in front of her and focus on Divine Shield to where she can only move at a snail's pace. She can keep this up as long as she can keep her concentration up, but any loss of concentration, such as loss of balance, instantly dispells Divine Shield, and after it is dispelled the abilities of Lightblessed Shield are disabled for around 72 hours.
Rebuke: A cleansing ritual Yufi can perform to remove any and all corruption, poison effects, or curses on someone. The more potent and drastic these banes are on someone, the longer Yufi must take to completely cleanse the infected body, and even the smallest of magics or poisons infection one requires Yufi to concentrate on a Rebuke ritual for minutes at a time. Any major break of concentration will drastically reduce Yufi's purification process down to 0, but it is recoverable if Yufi resumes the ritual very quickly.

Background
Yufi was born in the Zandalari capital of Dazar'alor with two parents following a long line of ancestors of troll soldiers. Her father a security-for-hire and her mother a standard patrolwoman. She was bound to go somewhere on that same path, as her parents made her interested in hunting at a very young age, and even scoring her first kill on her own at 11 years old by human calendars. She was also very impulsive as a child and prone to get into several fights, both playful and real
As soon as she was minimally deemed acceptable by the age of 23, she had joined the ranks of the Zandalari military. This was around the time Princess Talanji of the Zandalari throne launched an expedition to stop an upcoming threat to her people, the blood trolls. Yufi was a part of this expedition, and she was within a small, socially built squad of five who always went on missions together given to their battalion. One day they were all hunting for food for their encampment, and one of Yufi's squad members died from being ambushed by blood trolls while in the middle of a fight with an animal. His death tore the whole group apart, and they all decided they would work together for the expedition, and would then go their separate ways after they all return home.
Soon after this oath was made, two more of Yufi's squad were severely injured in an attack on a blood troll encampment and were forced to return home. News soon came later that they made a full recovery, thanks to new magic brought about by new allies her people had made with while Yufi was on the expedition. A faction full of different fantasy races and peoples known as the Horde had come in the midst of a resource war with their historically enemy faction. The Horde had agreed to aid the Zandalari Trolls in all of their struggles, the blood trolls being one of them, in exchange for the island to be opened up and welcoming to the Horde. Soon, adventurers and soldiers of all kinds came to aid the different outposts and small, spread out armies of Princess Talanji's expansion against the blood trolls. This was where Yufi had met people who wielded the same magic that healed her friends, specifically elven paladins.
When the expedition was making real progress, Yufi had decided to learn about the ways of the Paladin while carrying out her duty as a Zandalari soldier. She learned small spells here and there to a weak degree, but the belief of the Paladins and their associating priests in a higher power is what pushed her over the edge. The Paladins and Priests of the Horde had universally believed in an all-powerful source of all things holy and righteous, simply known as the Light. Feeling some of the Paladins' power and faith first-hand, and witnessing the Paladins in action alongside her in battles, inspired her more than anything to turn into a true soldier of her people. Throughout the rest of the expedition, Yufi had become a front-line soldier and medic, using the power of the Light to crush her foes and heal her allies.
The blood trolls and the diety of pestilence they had worshipped were defeated as the rest of the Zandalari empire added to the expedition's forces and the battle raged on and on. Yufi wasn't there for the final battle, as she was tending to the wounded, but by the time the war was over she had decided she would become a Paladin of the Light, while also being a follower of one of the dieties that her troll kind worshipped, powerful spirits of many different aspects of life called loa. Yufi followed the loa Gonk, the Lord of the Hunt, and with the blessing of the loa and the Light within her, she was transformed into a warrior and a survivalist of high caliber.
Her drastic improvement of skill on the battlefield had taken notice back home in Dazar'alor, as she was given promotion after promotion with her duties continuing with aiding their new allies of The Horde in their war. Soon, she was given the rank equivalent to a royal guard, sworn to protect the throne and heir to, along with hundreds of others. Soon after, the Horde and their enemies had built up their war to the point where an invasion on the Zandalari capital of Dazar'alor had erupted. By the end, King Rastakhan of the Zandalari died in battle, and his daughter, Princess Talanji, was to be the next ruler of their people. Soon after the invasion, the now Queen Talanji declared her people, the Zandalari trolls, as official members of the Horde. Now, Yufi stands tall and proud with her people and with the Horde, as a defender of the Zandalari Trolls and her Queen.
