Yukiko is Akio's wife and the co-owner of their general store. She is an incredibly kind and generous woman who loves nothing more than helping those in need - often giving away goods or services to those without money or resources.   She also has a sharp wit which she uses to protect both locals and visitors alike from any would-be criminals trying to take advantage of them; something that has earned her much respect over the years! In addition, Yukiko is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to local customs and traditions; always willing to share stories with anyone willing enough (or brave enough) to listen!
