Tia Noto Yoko is the deuteragonist and main heroine of Bastard!!. She plays a major role in being the only person capable of controlling the evil wizard Dark Schneider. She is the daughter of the Great Priest Geo Noto Soto and the self-appointed guardian of Lucien Renlen, who she sees as a younger brother and occasionally her main love interest. She is the first to use the "Accept" to awaken Dark Schneider after he was sealed 15 years ago.
Appearance[]
At her debut, Yoko is a girl of short stature in her mid to late teens, with a slender figure and a somewhat large bust for her age. She has medium-length red hair and reddish light brown eyes. She wears a sleeveless red shirt over a white under shirt, with teal shorts and a belt.
After the first time skip, she matures a great deal with Gara suggestively pointing out how she "filled out" after they reunite. Her hair is also much longer and she wears a red garment that extends past her waist, with a white breastplate on top.
Personality[]
Yoko is a strong-willed, hot-blooded and somewhat temperamental girl that can frighten any man once provoked. She's determined to get what she needs done, fight anyone who opposes or upsets her, and is one of the few people Dark Schneider actually fears. She acts much like a tomboy and is very protective of Lucien. Despite any romantic affection or attraction for Dark Schneider she may have, she immediately refuses it, and rejects any/all of Dark Schneider's attempts at intimacy with her. She never wavers in front of the enemy and is practically fearless no matter how powerful they are. She is also always certain that Dark Schneider will win.
History[]
The daughter of Great Priest Geo Noto Soto, Yoko was raised by him after his wife's death, and taught the ways of cleric magic and martial arts. She was raised with a young orphan named Lucien Renlen, who came to be a younger brother to her, for all that they were the same age.
