APPEARANCE
In his Yokai form, Yu Lao is a massive beast, slightly resembling a white ox. Between the two eyes on its head, sits a third one, and three more on each of his sides. Two white horns sprout out of its head, and another four out of its back. With a total of six eyes and six horns, and the size of it overall, you'd think it's a terrifying sight. However, despite its hideous appearance, anyone who comes in contact with it is overflowed with a sense of warmth and tranquility.
In its more humanoid form, Yu Lao takes the appearance of a young man, with sharp features, pointy ears, and a lean body. Tall, with broad shoulders, his hair white and flowing freely down to his hips. His eye are a gentle honey color, his lids painted a light red, and his cheeks adorned with four stripes of the same color, two on each side of his face. There's is a purple crescent moon shape on his forehead, and a three eye shapes in the same color on each of his sides, although the later are usually hidden under his clothes. His usual attire consists of a white light-weight yukata, held tight on the waist by a yellow obi, and he usually goes barefoot.

PERSONALITY
MAIN ABILITY: healing [the ability to heal injuries and internal wounds, as well as illnesses and any other bodily damage]
SECOND HAND ABILITIES: shapeshifting [the ability to shift its true form into more humanoid ones so as to be more presentable to people who are not familiar with the sight of a yokai]
_______________________________________
Yu Lao never really had the chance to socialize much. The past was long ago, and so were the last instances of contact it had with anyone who wasn't of its kind. It is overall a very calm being. There is little that surprises or upsets it.
Unlike other Bai Ze, Yu Lao has always been week to the needs of men. Although wise due to its many years of living, it is not wise to the behaviors of men. While its kin will only look to the mortals when they deem them worthy, this one finds it difficult to leave them to their demise. And having a natural sense of motherly instinct for the likes of the mortal, it is easy to fall into the traps of the greedy and wicked. And even if it is deceived, it will still cling onto their tragic mortality as a way to excuse them.

HISTORY
Yu Lao has been around for a long while. Long enough to remember what the world was like when humans still dwelled in the realm that now so many others occupy. Back then, when a lightning falling from the sky was a Raiju, and when you were swindled out of your coin, a Tanuki was certainly involved in the crime. But such times waned, and the yokai took their leave, confined themselves in their realm, and soon the people dismissed their existence altogether, diminishing them to myths and bedtime stories.
Everyone learnt to live apart from the mortals eventually, some even rejoiced at this change. But Yu Lao found a funny feeling in its heart that stung like the thorns of a nasty bush. The days when it walked down the mountain and people rejoiced in its presence, and the times when he healed the wounds of those weak creatures and made them smile and sigh with relief. All of it was missing. The others of its kind mocked this pain. They left for higher mountains, as Yu Lao stayed on its little hill, walking down slowly every so often, even if the silence that it faced now at the bottom hurt it.
