Yup, that’s actually what I’d meant to imply with that particular Kyoryupon anyway. Anyway I’ll get more into Yumi’s history later (which probably won’t take nearly as long as Kota’s did) but for now let’s start with a little expanded backstory.

Tsubasa Yumi: Yumi was Kota's best friend and a shy bookworm who loved birdwatching. She lived with her father Wataru and twin brother Gentaro. Yumi’s mother Keiko was an instructor at a naval base in California as well as a pilot in the Blue Angels. As such, she only got to see her family on rare occasions.

Despite this, her mother was one of Yumi’s personal heroes and she dreamed of one day flying alongside her, even wearing a faux aviation badge and pilot scarf that her mother sent to her as gifts. As such, she was also an avid birdwatcher and would often share notes with Kota on the subject.

Yumi was a brilliant student and at the top of her class, often tinkering with various inventions to help herself and her family. However, she was also a bit skittish when it comes to reacting with her fellow classmates and suffered from severe herpetophobia after an incident when she was younger where she and her brother got lost in the Fossil Museum and she got terrified by the displays.

Her brother Gentaro was almost her polar opposite however, being outgoing and popular with everyone but also terrible when it came to any subject that didn’t have to do with sports. Despite this, he seemed to share Kota’s love of dinosaurs. Their father Wataru loved puns and owned a novelty shop called Tsubasahane (Wing Wings) that his children would sometimes help out with.
