==History==

===''Final Fantasy'' series===

====''Final Fantasy X''====

As a summoner, Yuna travels across [[Spira]] to end the threat the malevolent force Sin poses to her world, aided by her aeons, and even more so by her [[guardian]]s, whose duty is to protect her along her journey. Yuna begins her pilgrimage across Spira with three guardians: [[Kimahri Ronso]], who took care of her after she was orphaned; [[Lulu]], who treats her as a younger sister; and [[Wakka]], with whom — along with Lulu — she has been close friends with since childhood. After Tidus arrives in Besaid, she takes him as her fourth guardian, and later, [[Auron]] — who was also guardian to her father — becomes her fifth. Finally, Yuna's maternal cousin [[Rikku]] becomes Yuna's sixth and final guardian shortly after Tidus and Wakka thwart her attempt to kidnap Yuna with an underwater machina.

As she learns more about Sin — against whom she has trained in the summoners' arts to use the [[Final Summoning]] — Yuna becomes caught up in the plot of Maester [[Seymour Guado]], who claims to want to unite Spira by marrying her, but who seeks to use her to become the next Sin and crush Spira. Yuna had planned to marry him in exchange for him turning himself over to Yevon's judgment. However, the plan fails and Yuna and her guardians, recently informed of Seymour's crime, fight and kill him.

Tidus and Yuna's mutual love for one another intensifies as the party approaches its destination. In the romantic setting of a sphere pool in Macalania, Tidus shares memories of his native Zanarkand and toys with the idea of showing Yuna his home (even though it is becoming clear that he can never return). Yuna realizes she will never live to see it, and the burden she has been carrying in silence for so long finally causes her to break down, and she starts crying uncontrollably. Tidus moves to comfort her, and they passionately kiss. In the morning, Yuna has little choice but to proceed with her pilgrimage. When the quest draws to a close, Yuna is shocked to discover she must sacrifice one of her guardians to provide the soul for the Final Aeon, and that as the Final Aeon will become Sin, the Final Summoning can never defeat it.

In the opening intro, Yuna's [[Garment Grid]] and [[Songstress Dressphere]] are stolen by [[Leblanc]], who subsequently uses it to impersonate Yuna. While Rikku and Paine attempt to stealthily get the grid back, Yuna is forced to use the Gullwings' "prized" Mascot dressphere until her presence was required. By that time, Yuna, in her gunner dressphere, shows up with Rikku and Paine. Together, the Gullwings defeat Leblanc and her chief honchos, Ormi and Logos.

Her purpose for traveling with the Gullwings, however, is mainly because she hopes to find more spheres that would link with the one Kimahri found, what she hopes is a clue that Tidus is alive. Her investigations eventually lead her into the plots of [[Shuyin]] and the various opposing factions in the post-Sin Spira, particularly those of the [[Youth League]] and [[New Yevon]]. The Gullwings in general &ndash; and Yuna in particular &ndash; seek to restore some sense of unity and peace to a dangerously divided world, as well as to stop forces which would seek to damage Spira even further. The player's actions throughout the course of the game determine whether or not Yuna ever manages to reunite with Tidus, a gift to her from the fayth as thanks for having saved the world a second time.

====''Kingdom Hearts II''====

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', Yuna, along with [[Rikku]] and [[Paine]], appear at [[khwiki:Hollow Bastion|Hollow Bastion]], working for [[khwiki:Maleficent|Maleficent]] as spies in return for treasure. The three are fairy-like and appear super deformed. After Maleficent abandons the three during the [[khwiki:Heartless|Heartless]] attack at Hollow Bastion, and led to believe [[Squall Leonhart|Leon]] has treasure by [[khwiki:Donald Duck|Donald Duck]], Yuna and gang switch their alliance to Leon and the rest of the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee. Yuna and others forgive [[Sora]] and his partners for the deception with the three giving Sora the "Gullwing" [[khwiki:Keychain|Keychain]], a reference to their sphere hunting group in ''Final Fantasy X-2''. The trio are last seen during the end credits, where they steal ice cream from [[Yuffie Kisaragi|Yuffie]] and provoke her into chasing them. She was the only character in her gang whose name is spoken, "Yunie", a nickname made up by Rikku in the English versions of ''Final Fantasy X'' and ''X-2'').  

==Relationships to other characters==

*'''Wakka''': Since growing up on Besaid, Yuna looks to Wakka as her older brother as well as his late brother Chappu. She describes their days together as "wonderful". She says Wakka played Blitzball with her and he originally did not want her to become a summoner yet he supported her when she did. On the sphere she made, Yuna says of him and Lulu "No, you really were my big brother and sister".

*'''Kimahri''': Kimahri was the one who delivered the message from Auron to Yuna in Bevelle and took her to Besaid. According to Yuna, Kimahri stayed with her when he saw how sad she would be to see him leave. He is quite protective of her and is the first to stay back on the Highbridge so Yuna can get away. It is also she who is the first to rush to his aid. Two years later, Kimahri still wants to help Yuna with whatever he can and expresses his sadness at not being much help.

*'''Rikku''': As Yuna's cousin, Rikku instantly becomes attached and friendly to her giving her the nickname "Yunie". Rikku often tries to dishearten Yuna from her pilgrimage because she doesn't want her to die. When Yuna considers giving it up, Tidus says that Rikku would jump on board immediately. As they approach Zanarkand, Rikku tries one last time to get Yuna to give up but when she refuses, they embrace and Yuna thanks Rikku for caring so much. Two years later they are considerably closer and Yuna looks on her younger cousin as a role model, often copying her expressions and movements.
