Bio:
Tsubasa Yuunagi hails from the Puni Bird Tribe of fairies, native to Skyland. Long ago, the Puni Bird Tribe gave up their ability to fly in order to assume human form. During his childhood, his father temporarily regained his ability to fly to save Tsubasa from falling from a passenger bird. This childhood encounter inspired Tsubasa to learn a way to regain the Puni Birds' ability to fly.
After one fateful attempt to fly, he ended up crossing a portal to Earthrealm where he was found and nursed by Yoyo Nijigaoka; a scholar from Skyland who settled down in Earthrealm who allowed him to take up residence. During his residence there, he put his time into studying aerodynamics and other related matters, eventually coming to take care of the infant Princess Elle together with Sora/Cure Sky and Mashiro/Cure Prism.
It was Princess Elle that proved to be the key to helping him rediscover his ability to fly. During a Ranborg attack from the Undergu Empire, Elle was knocked off her sling bag, forcing Tsubasa to jump after her. While he was saved by Elle, Elle fell into the hands of a Ranborg. Despite this, Tsubasa refused to give up in his quest to save Elle, earning him his Sky Mirage and transforming him into Cure Wing
.
With his dreams of flying achieved, Tsubasa resolved to become as well learnt as Yoyo. During a trip to Outworld on invitation of Liu Kang together with Mashiro/Cure Prism, he was drawn into a conspiracy by General Shao, Quan Chi and Shang Tsung only to be rescued by Liu Kang. Fighting alongside the champions of Earthrealm with Cure Prism, he fights to protect Sky Land from being targeted by others who seek to manipulate the timeline of the New Era for their own benefit.
