Name: Yejide Layeni
Nickname: Grand General
Age: 68
Birthday:
Pronouns: she/her/hers
Gender: Woman
Height: 175 cm
Occupation: ARU leader
Powers
Yejide has the power to feel others emotions, though she doesn't advertise this, and only a handful of people know. Her power is an adaptation.
Personality
As a young woman, Yejide experienced many emotional turmoil from her power-- It caused her great pain and confusion but she's come to accept it, living with the knowledge her power grants. She feigns a calm outlook even when she's in discomfort or confused since she's found out in her long live that staying calm and authoritative helps other people be calmer, too.
Yejide has a strange affinity for angels, feeling like they must've experienced a life similar to hers when they were angels and not angel-machines. And now, she feels sorry for them. She was a big part in pulling ARU together, but never assumed a leading position until Kukuyu died.
Appearance
First thing most people notice of her is usually the calmness that emanates from her and her gentle features. Her voice is quiet but stern, and the calmness gives her an authoritative outlook.
She's in a wheelchair, her legs amputated belong the knee on both legs.
History
Yejide, originally from western Africa, was approached by an angel-machine when she was twenty. This angel-machine seemed to know of her immense adaptation power-- It radiated a sense of dread and misery, and it was able to communicate that it wanted to die. Yejide dispatched it, even when it smashed her legs in fear.
Ever since then, Yejide has pressed on a gentle approach to angel-machines, clearly being able to feel their sense of dread at their general existence. Not all believe her, of course, but she was able to find a group of people who did. Kukuyu was always a stern believer in her words, straight to the end, but that's what got them killed. Yejide carries this weight on her shoulders, and the hatred of one of her former friends, Kukuyu's wife, Francisca.
After Kukuyu passed away, Yejide assumed the position of Grand General with the encouragement of Bambang and Dài Chāo. Before Kukuyu's untimely death at the gunpoint of an angel-machine, she was in the position of monitoring new and old recruits alike.
