AU Planning Meme (April + May)

AU PLANNING MEME (APRIL + MAY)
Given the nature of AU, below is a form that can be used for planning purposes when plotting out your character. While it is not required to fill out the form, we encourage you take a look at the listings in this post and use them as a guide when setting up plots or planning character backgrounds.

Contact Info:
Character Name: Yui Nanase
Canon Name: Go! Princess Precure
Brief History: The official sidekick. A civilian - no powers whatsoever. Likes drawing, and dreams of becoming a picture book author. A fan of fairy tales and legends. Has surprising force of will in a somewhat shy, quiet, occasionally fiercely passionate package. Her friends turn into legendary warriors who are also princesses. Bonds fairly quickly and has absolute faith that her friends can power through whatever comes their way.
AU Ideas: Still a civilian! Probably still the designated sidekick, but Yui here is going to have a bit more force of personality and a little more independence. Still, she'll attach readily to friends. Grew up in Union, but was a little detached from people and places and things, so it's possibly she's a little sheltered, purely by accident. Which is not to say she doesn't want to explore things! She just knows, intellectually, she shouldn't explore alone. Without friends near to hand, is at least somewhat likely to fall apart in a crisis. Stubborn, especially when she knows she's right. Normally fairly gentle, but firm. Is part of an average family that does average things and is of at most average importance in Union - that is to say, fairly little. Isn't terribly interested in gaining power, or marked fame... just enough to be someone that people don't mind being friends with.
Looking For: I want excuses to play off Yui's usual downtime habit of sketching things, probably more casually than normal; if she gets bored, or she sees something pretty or striking, she'll pause and grab her sketchbook out of her pack and settle down for a couple minutes. Which of course means I need shenanigans, either with it disappearing, or people finding art of themselves or their belongings/homes/Pokémon/etc., or noticing themselves being drawn. Also, she's very prone to getting caught up in things, or in other people's wake, so if someone needs an extra set of hands for something, she'll probably wind up along for the ride on occasion. Beyond that... cute things, fun things, heartwarming things. Yui is both more intelligent and more empathetic than she lets on sometimes.
Anything else?: At some point, Yui will have a glorious awakening as an Enlightened, making her the Princess
canontime forgot, but until then, she'll settle for some Princess castmates. That doesn't mean she won't bond well with would-be magic types of all kinds, this being AU, and really with almost anyone. Friennnnnnds~!no seriously Yui needs friends, get on thatno subject
Of course, we've discussed various things so far, but one fun thing for AU and RP in general I think is interacting a lot more one-on-one with other castmates, such as Minami here, than we got to see on screen. I'm really interested in seeing where that goes, especially with what we've established in our own planning.

Wait, are you implying people talked to Yui in canon?Yes, I'm definitely interested in castmate things; I'm sure we can get up to a fairly large set of shenanigans there.

IT HAPPENS. Sometimes. Like that time Yui got princess carried by an actual princess.Shenanigans are, generally, the idea yes. ... Though I feel like I'll have a lot more in the way of solid ideas once wheels are actually in motion and not just being greased.
