10 Facts About Yuusuke Hasumi
Yuusuke is actually his traditional/Japanese name. His given name is Lyndon, but he dislikes this name and thus rarely uses it. There is a small list of people he allows to call him by his given name, but itās a privilege reserved only for his closest friends and family. And Caleb. Who calls himĀ āLyndieā despite Yuusukeās numerous protests. Yuusuke has just had to learn to accept Calebās nicknames. His other nickname isĀ āYuuā, but only Alba calls him that and he doesnāt tolerate it from anyone else, even Caleb.
While Morty had primary custody of him growing up, Yuusuke would still visit Jasmine every month for a weekend. He tended to dislike these visits though, since he doesnāt do well in social interactions with people he doesnāt know well, so once heās a teenager he stops seeing her as much. He doesnāt dislike his mother, he just doesnāt want to deal with unwanted visits.
He has a passion for the sword, having learned kendo from a young age. He often carries around an ancestral family sword both for the comfort of having it at his side and for the intimidation factor since he hates social interaction.
He has Jasmineās brown eyes and Mortyās blond hair, though his hair has a similar texture to his motherās rather than being wavy like Mortyās. He wears it long in a low ponytail and takes his hair-care very seriously.Ā Ā
He gets along with all his siblings differently. Heās very close with Neal, though from an outsider perspective their relationship seems to be mostly Neal teasing Yuusuke and Yuusuke snapping at him. They really do care deeply for each other, however. Heās initially awkward around Mavis, Branwen and Cormag, but after realizing that they look up to him a lot, he tries to be a good role model and spend more time with them. He hatesĀ Kestrel. The two are probably equally misanthropic and so they just rub each other the wrong way. Heād prefer to not have to see her and will leave the room if sheās there (and sheāll do the same if she finds him.)
He met Alba through Draco of all people. Yuusuke and Draco are sort-of friends, and Draco knows Alba through his father, as Lance and Cynthia are friends from being Champion. Draco introduced Alba to Yuusuke when she was visiting from Sinnoh and it was basically love at first sight for both of them. Their relationship is a bit confusing to Yuuskeās friends and family since seeing him do anything romantic is baffling, but theyāre very much in love.
Though his default mode isĀ āirritatedā, those who know him well enough can pick out when Yuusukeās annoyance is real or just feigned. Around people he likes, heāll be more sarcastic and less scathing. Knowing the difference generally means being close enough to him to be a friend.
To get away from dealing with people, he often likes to go camp out in the woods for a weekend and just spend time training his pokƩmon without having to interact with anyone.
He has a surprisingly high alcohol tolerance and enjoys hard liquor. However he sees this as going against hisĀ āimageā and drinks in secret, even though heās of age. One time Branwen begged him to let her try a bit of his stash when she caught him drinking so he offered her a small sip, which then just knocked her out. Heās not told anyone of this incident since it embarrasses him.
He and Alba have a young daughter named Nadia, who is just a baby. Yuusuke is extremely protective of her and has threatened people forĀ ālooking at her too much.ā Alba is good at calming down his over-protectiveness however, as sheās got a bit of a gift for knowing just what to say. He and Alba named their daughter together, with Yuusuke suggesting they give her aĀ āhopefulā name and Alba suggesting Nadia as it meansĀ āhope.ā
