have some random headcanons revolving around love and relationships and all that stuff
yumi usually isn't a big fan of physical contact โ she doesn't particularly enjoy hugs or holding hands or whatever โ but with the right partner she doesn't mind. it's still rare for her to initiate it, but she doesn't mind it and in fact, even enjoys it
that said, the one physical touch she does do a lot and even initiates is sitting or standing close to her partner and leaning into their side if possible so they can wrap an arm around her waist or shoulders if they want to
her primary love language is definitely quality time. she loves spending time with her partner, doesn't matter if it's going on dates or just talking and doing nothing in particular; she loves to just be together
she is biromantic and bisexual but she doesn't really make a big deal out of it, it's just part of who she is, and either people accept it or they don't. and if they don't, they aren't really worth her time anyway
yumi cannot flirt. maybe it's because she's never been exposed to it but she struggles ... a lot. in a way, that's part of her charm
she's never really been in a relationship either. mainly because there's never been much of an opportunity to be in one; she was either on her own or part of the pirate crew ( who were mostly all older than her )
she doesn't believe in love at first sight. she rather wants to get to know someone and see if they're really compatible before ever deciding to potentially date them. even better? being ( best ) friends before dating
she is a sucker for heartfelt gifts โ giving and receiving. she loves picking out or creating the perfect gifts for her partner whether it's for a birthday or any other special occasion or just a random act of kindness, and obviously, she likes receiving them as well. especially when it's something handmade
she struggles to say "i love you" directly. instead, she beats around the bush, using other phrases and gestures to show her partner that she does, in fact, love them, but until she actually uses those words, a lot of time has passed and it's only when she feels 100% comfortable with them
she has no particular type when it comes to either men or women. however, she does gravitate to people who can make her laugh and make her feel appreciated. she also appreciates them being independent because even when she gets in a relationship, she still needs her moments of privacy and could never be with someone who is co-dependent with her and needs to be around her constantly. even in a relationship, she wants to be able to live her own life in a way
