Oh! I actually have a few characters!
I love Naruto.
Anyway! The character:
Name-Rieko Yamato
Title-Uzukage
Associated Nation-Uzu no Kuni (Land of Whirlpools)
Associated Village-Uzushiogakure
Age-17
Height-5'4"
Weight-99 lbs
Hair color-Red
Eye color-Blue
Kekkei Genkei-Hanashoubu
Hanashoubu is the kekkei genkei of Uzushio's known and feared Yamato clan. A powerful dojutsu, it allows the user to view and manipulate the chakra flow of an enemy from a distance, without touching them. It is frequently used to induce paralysis. There have been accounts of Hanashoubu being used to control Bijuu, but these are all unconfirmed. It is possible that stronger Hanashoubu-users are granted a degree of telekinesis by the kekkei genkai. It is also speculated but not confirmed that Hanashoubu grants the usuer a widened field of vision and some degree of eye-based genjutsu, but this is all speculation.
Current looks-
Special Weapon(s)-Massive Sword (Kaeribana), puppets (Hanamaru, Toki and Aoi)
Bio-
Rieko was born into the powerful Yamato clan of Uzushiogakure. Upon her birth, the Tailed Beast Gyuki was sealed inside of her to prevent the beast's rampages. As a result, Rieko was often ostracized by the other children of both the village and her clan, leaving her time to focus on training as a shinobi.
The type of prodigy that only comes around once in a generation, Rieko quickly ascended the ranks of the Uzushio Shinobi and joined the prestigous Puppet Brigade. From there, she continued on to eventually become Kage at the young age of thirteen, amid constant assasination attempts and resistance. Though she would eventually join the Daichiran, she quickly realized that she thought Ryuu was crazy (though, somewhere deep down, she
does still hold a residual affection for him) and bowed out quietly.
As of right now, a seventeen-year-old Rieko has recently (and for no apparent reason) reinstated the previously dismantled summoning jutsu that had created the impassable whirlpool barrier around Uzu. Nobody is entirely sure why, and the young Uzukage has not been seen since the reinstatement of the jutsu, so the rest of the Shinobi World is beginning to become concerned.
Rieko was formerly romantically linked with the deceased Swordsman of the Mist, Asahi Takimoto. His death is suspected to be a possible cause of her sudden seclusion.
Personality-
A generally quiet and anti-social person, Rieko
has displayed a sharp sense of humor. Though she never fully lightens up, subtle changes in her demeanour can be noticed around her few friends. Though a usually wry and snarky passive-observer, Rieko can be easily angered if the right buttons are pressed, for example making negative comments about her fellow Jinchuriki. She
will take action once she thinks it is necessary and won't think twice about it.
Though she thinks that Ryuu's beliefs are completely insane, Rieko secretly harbors a residual affection for him. Whether this affection is platonic or romantic is unknown, but it
does keep her from ever confronting him if they are present on opposite sides of a battle. He is one of the few people that she fully opens up around,
ever.
In public, Rieko is a regal and imposing presence. She is extremely smart, so, even though she doesn't say much frequently, when she
does, others listen. She is generally composed, although her control of Gyuki has been known to slip on the rare occasion where she loses her composure. On these rare occasions, it was usually Ryuu that reined her in, but now it is her close friend and advisor, Kaida.
Moving on~!
Name: Yukiyo "Kaida" Hanamachi
Title: (Given by Rieko) Little Dragon of Uzushio (Uzushio no Sukoshi Ryuu)
Associated Village: Uzushiogakure
Associated Nation: Land of Iron (by birth), Uzu no Kuni (currently)
Age: 16
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 105 lbs
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Brown
Kekkei Genkai: Karyûkai
Much like Hanashoubu, Karyûkai is a powerful dojutsu. It grants the user the ability to enter the victim's subconcious and put in place a series of powerful genjutsu. It also grants the user access to the Yumekui no Jutsu (lit: Dream Eater Jutsu), which not much is known about as nobody has ever survived having it used on them. However, it is assumed that the jutsu causes severe psychological trauma resulting in death.
Current Looks:
Special Weapon(s): Twin Katana (Shiro and Kuro)
Bio:
Kaida was born Yukiyo Hanamachi in the Land of Iron, granddaughter of the head samurai. As a small child, though, she was sent to Uzu to train as a shinobi, where she met and befriended a much-younger Rieko. The girls were soon joined in their friendship by Kaida's cousin Mari, and the three would become Uzu's Team 9 after graduating from the Academy.
When Rieko joined the Daichiran along with Mari (Jinchuriki of the Shukaku), Kaida followed her cousin and friend. She would similarly follow them when they withdrew. She used to spend a lot of time going between Suna and Uzushio, where Mari is now Kazekage, but that was before the whirlpool barrier was established.
With the whirlpool barrier reestablished, Kaida has fallen off of the face of the earth like Rieko. Mari is unable (or unwilling) to provide an explanation, even if she
does know something.
Kaida is romantically linked to Uzushio-ANBU Musashi Miyamoto. Rumors (though unconfirmed) have recently spread of their upcoming marriage.
Personality:
Kaida is a generally upbeat and happy person. She can be clutzy at times and tends to not read the atmosphere, even though is totally capable of it. These tendencies of her lend themselves towards Kaida seeming to be stupid when she really isn't.
Don't let all of that fool you, though. She has a wicked temper that quickly becomes set off when she believes that anyone she cares about is in danger. She has a tendency to show everyone the same type of childish, blind affection, which can cause her to get taken advantage of...not that she won't get revenge if you try to.
When on missions, she becomesa much more serious person, putting all personal feelings aside. This contrast is stark and usually shocks people when they initially see it.
Behind the Scenes:
- Both Kaida's surname and the name of her kekkei genkai reference geisha culture.
- Her nickname, bestowed by Mari when they were small children, means "Little Dragon" when translated.
- Kaida's lover, Musashi, was named for a real-life samurai.
And finally~!
Name: Mariko "Mari" Hanamachi
Title: Kazekage, Medic Nin
Associated Village: Uzushiogakure (formerly), Sunagakure (currently)
Associated Nation: Land of Iron (by birth), Uzu no Kuni (formerly), Kaze no Kuni (currently)
Age: 17
Height: 5'2"
Weight: 95 lbs
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Hazel
Kekkei Genkai: Karyûkai
Much like Hanashoubu, Karyûkai is a powerful dojutsu. It grants the user the ability to enter the victim's subconcious and put in place a series of powerful genjutsu. It also grants the user access to the Yumekui no Jutsu (lit: Dream Eater Jutsu), which not much is known about as nobody has ever survived having it used on them. However, it is assumed that the jutsu causes severe psychological trauma resulting in death.
Current Looks:
Special Weapon(s): Twin Katana (Kira and Ryuu), Sand
Bio:
Born a year before her cousin Kaida in the Land of Iron, Mari had the Shukaku sealed inside of her. It had previously been sealed within her mother, but the seal weakened when Mari was born, causing her mother's death and the Shukaku's escape. Because she was premature, anyway, the seal caused her to be very sickly. She took a lot more time to finish her samurai training than the younger Kaida.
Mari joined Kaida and Rieko in Uzu shortly before their graduation from the Academy. They became Uzu's now-infamous Team 9 and later would join the Daichiran. Mari and Rieko came to the conclusion that they disagreed with Ryuu, however, and left after not too long.
Instead of staying in Uzu with Rieko and Kaida, Mari decided to strike out on her own in Suna so that she and Rieko would be harder to take out. They kept in touch, however, until recently when Rieko reconstructed Uzu's whirlpool barrier. Mari seems to know her friend's reasoning behind this, but she is unwilling to say anything on the subject.
It is speculated but not confirmed that Mari is romantically linked to Ronin Sasori Akasuna.
Personality:
Mari is, by nature, a soft-spoken and gentle person. She dislikes fighting and killing, having initially joined the Daichiran in hopes of putting a stop to them. When she realized that she couldn't, she ultimately withdrew from the Daichiran to pursue her goal of peace on her own. Despite seeming physically weak, Mari has a very strong sense of justice and doesn't ever deviate from what she thinks is right or wrong.
Underneath the gentleness and soft voice, she possesses the same iron will as Rieko and her cousin Kaida. Nothing short of an act of God can really make her change her stance on much of anything. Even when she gets angry, it's usually passive-aggressively so, though she has been known to become violently angry every now and then. This usually results in a temporary loss of control over Shukaku, though she is generally able to regain control by herself.
She is, at heart, a very kind person, though, and she usually tries to help as much as she possibly can. Endowed with an ingrained sense of honor, Mari doesn't break promises if she can help it. This has resulted in the current lack of information on the whereabouts and safety of Rieko and Kaida.
Behind the Scenes:
- Mari's lover, Sasori, is a reference to puppet-master Sasori from the original Naruto series.
