I'm probably going to repeat what has been said but you shouldn't give up simply because we all hate it. If I can be blunt: the moment I saw the name Yuuna and you were wearing the Yuna clothes, I already didn't feel like reading your backstory.

I read it regardless but the others dissected and commented on it to death. As ArmachiA said, you can still have your Yuna if you take her traits, not her character. 
Like for me, I took traits of other characters to make Alyx Quintessence but I only added her history as more people got involved and even added to it.

There are many RPers not using the forums and that is ok. Just that if you want your character to stand out or be epic...
You need to EARN it. Not simply because you came up with the idea first. Time and dedication of RPing wins out over fabrications of how awesome your character is or how special they are.
But I'm being a hypocrite right? We're all special snowflakes :p

But seriously. focus on the Present and not the past. Easier to have a simplified backstory that you can expand and expose as time goes on rather than slam the book down from the start.

P.S: just make her an Au Ra or Hyur (since both are from othard). There is literally no ducking reason to have her race change in background just because you want a Hyur. Just remove that bit all together and save the headaches. 

Pardon if I am critical. Rants of a writer since 2007
