- She is perhaps one of the more unusual heroines to use the elemental-control method of powers, as she uses paper as the ammunition used by her psychic abilities as the foremost "Paper Master" in the world. With enough imagination and concentration, her paper can become virtually anything, though it is not invulnerable to fire or things which would otherwise destroy thick paper. She uses this in her abilities as a secret agent for an alternate-universe British Empire which never fell, working in the special division of the British Library. Between jobs, she's a substitute teacher and reads nearly every waking moment.

| - She is perhaps one of the more unusual heroines to use the elemental-control method of powers, as she uses paper as the ammunition used by her psychic abilities as the foremost "Paper Master" in the world.

She uses this in her abilities as a secret agent for an alternate-universe British Empire which never fell, working in the special division of the British Library. Between jobs, she's a substitute teacher and reads nearly every waking moment. However, despite the list of powers and goodliness atmosphere, her suethor states that Yomiko is far from a Mary Sue. She's a flawed character, who is unable to cope when the dual callings of both work and personal longing are both tugging at her, and suffers a major breakdown whenever she's forced to deal with a reality she can't accept. Despite this, though, she has already found a place and a friend in the Sueniverse.
