Looks Description: Looks Description: Kami’s eyes, once a glistening lavender color, till she met with a Ijutsu user who gave her a makeover to hide herself from those from Konohagakure who were wishing her harm. Having been on the run she had her entire physical attributes changed from ebony locks to a golden blond which streamed down her back, a bit past her shoulder blades. A tom boy prior to her ‘plastic surgery’ which helped change her physique to a strongly feminine model body structure. Her new plump breasts quite well sized resembling those of grapefruits with the touch of waterballoons. Although they were made for concealing her true identity, they felt completely natural.
Years of practise and training has put her in peak physical condition. Flexible and toned, Kami has the abilities of a gymnasts with astounding strength particularly in her legs. Kami’s legs are just short of being her entire torso length, giving her long strides compared to her relative size. Fit, Kami’s body is slim and short making her look like a child to those who don’t know her, but her maturity was proved in her intelligence as well as her rump. Smooth and filled out no one could mistake her rear for anything but that of a well grown woman.
Family lineage. As attire goes, Kami was taught to always dress for all conditions. With this said her clothing style is relatively focused upon both her abilities as a ninja as well as dealing with various climate conditions. Neck down, Kami is captive to long white bandages which disappear under her every day clothes. Encasing her entire figure, protects her skin from sun damage as well as the harsh sandstorms of the desert. The bandages laced around her are a cloudy grey verging on the side of white. Wearing a black, sleeveless, one piece kimono Kami’s white bandaged figure is the perfect envisionment of monochromatic qualities. Silk embroidered, this black kimono, covers or the expected positions starting off sleeveless and unraveling down into lock legged pants. Now far more confident in her womanly features she can be found wearing provocative outfits that compliment her figure.
Personality Description:Kami is seldom girl often finding herself alone and training. Antisocial to a point, Kami rarely converses with other people even when buying materials that she is in need of. As a child she was so focused upon honing her jutsu above anything else even her studies. Although through forceful parenting Kami did receive an appropriate education for a child of the Saihō-shi Clan. Unwilling to stoop to the level of the various bandits and thugs that use to raid her parents caravan. Kami prefers subduing and restraining opponents when appropriate. A nature lover Kami cares only for the poor and defenseless beings whether it is a child or toad, Kami will use her ability to the best of her potential to protect them. Emotionless, many people believe that Kami had loss the ability to feel when she shrouded herself in her bandages.
Strength is power, and with power one can breed peace. However, she knows that the scales of justice must remain equal on both side in your own soul. One can not demand others to change forcibly or otherwise, she respects their thoughts and will gladly restrain and hand you over to the proper officials of your land.
Likes:
Solitude: Kami since she was child always enjoyed being alone and cut off from the world. As others always proved untrustworthy in her eyes. Safety in seclusion and thus spending her days mostly outside in self imposed solitary confinement. Enjoys the quiet which also comes along with seclusion. Reason’s behind this was primarily the numerous raids upon her family’s humbled abode.
Nature: Kami often finds herself doing nature walks for no particular reason in her free time. With that said, she enjoys engaging in nonsensical conversations with the forests and creatures residing in it. In particular she loves the insects and breeze which floats through the leaves making them dance. There practically is no natural occurring part of the wild she doesn’t hate except storms, but that will be discussed in her dislikes.
Dancing: Since she was young she always tried to relieve her stress or take breaks from reality by dancing across the forest floor. This affinity for it came from her parents who had both enjoyed the art of music, from playing various instruments to vocalizing. Often dancing about the fire with nimble grace, Kami’s source of physical training primarily is centered about this. Along with an art, kami integrated the various dance forms she uses to her fighting. These glorious displays while capable of being deadly normally are used for incapacitating.
Dislikes:
Storms: Since she was four Kami was startled by the sound of thunder and the crackle of fire. Once again she grew out of her fears slightly but that dislike of tornado’s, thunderstorms and earthquakes still exist. To compliment that, the destructive force of the storms normally tears through landscape ripping up the natural beauties of the world.
Large Crowds: Growing up in the wilderness to two parents who were merchants one would have expected to be highly cultured and capable of fitting in with various cultures. On the contrary she was quite critical about others and their cultures always questioning why they did things a certain way, by asking countless questions which most people didn’t want to answer. Chastised for her curiosity she began to cut herself off from social interaction.
Puppets: Kami every part of puppets and puppet manipulation disturbs her. Her parents tried to reenact a history lesson with marionettes once when she was a child which terrified her when giving her a history lesson on one of the massacres. A poor decision on their point when they realized her trembling. Over the years this irrational fear has waned slightly but she still detest the sight of them. Strings binding the appendages even of a lifeless being seemed like indentured servitude or enslavement to her. The beady eyes of marionettes that don’t usually close also spook her.
Warm days: Preferable to the other cool seasons, Kami despises the warm of the sun. Conflicted because the sun she so readily despises is the source of plant life, Kami finds herself reluctantly attempting to enjoy the sun glimmering through the leaves. So far she has been unable to ever wish to sunbathe even to rid herself of her pale complexion because of the sweaty discomfort it brings. Practically nocturnal from this disdain.
Catch Phrases: “Hummingbird. The sound of a butterfly flapping it’s wings. Glorious.”
“
Nindo: “I shall purge you of your sins. ”
Element Affinity: Wind
Sub Element Affinity: None
History: Kami Hanabira was raised outside of any clan community with her nomadic parents. Her parents were simple merchants who owned their own minnie caravan acting both as their shelter as well as shop. 愛美 花びら, Aimi Hanabira (Beautiful Petal), her mother, and 楓 花びら, Kaede Hanabira (Maple Petal) her father were both well loved and renowned by the various tribes they visited. Aimi and Kaede were both from different tribes finding love when Kaede had come to her village. Staying a month or two at her mother's tribe, she became pregnant with Kaede’s child. Ecstatic about the offspring they were going to bring into this wonderful world they decided that they wished for their daughter to be well submerged into countless cultures which Kaede had always dreamed of himself.
Setting of in the winter three months later the two lovebirds struck out on their adventures. Realizing adventuring would be the best manner of employment they took up vending of various herbs and plants which they picked up along their travels. Herbs for medical and spices began to become their trade which they would sell from extravagant locations they had visited. As the seasons passed they finally gave birth to their beloved Kami. Writing various journals along their way they wrote down various ninja’s who had either helped them or dealt with along the way. Some good, other evil, it depended solely on the geography which they were passing through. Born near Sunagakure there was little surprise that when they gave birth their daughter would become obsessed with wind Jutsu.
Taking a four year rest in the Land of Wind Kaede and Aimi raised their daughter with a particular elder who had known Jutsu’s. Kami obsessed with her trainings began to slack in the way of her studies to understand the Art of Paper Folding. Realizing her lack of concentration they decided that when she was six they would leave the village that they had come to view as hom. Deploring the thought of leaving her sensei, Kami ran off into the desert causing a large manhunt for from the village as they had come to love Kami as their own. Passed out and slowly being buried by sand the young Kami barely made it two miles. Weary and sick, the parents journey was delayed an additional month before the three of them left once again. Despising the Caravan, whenever they were traveling along the road she would follow in the woods enjoying the chirping and breeze of nature which continued to wrap around her. She continued her practise and love of nature she had been taught from her sensei.
When she was eleven, she was kidnapped by ruffians demanding that their parents give all of their saving they had earned to them otherwise Kami was going to be spending a long portion of her life away from them. Being so young she was extremely nervous trying to come up with something to do she started manipulating the bandages around her lifting the bandages she had around her and whipped them across her captors till eventually they ran away so proud of herself she began to wonder how much more she could do, taking two hours from her studies in trying to master these abilities.
The same boring routines happened day to day, month to month, and year to year. To the point where she was finally a young adult capable of leaving her family, who had finally settled down. Packing her bags and began her coming of age journey a year earlier than recommended.
RP Sample:
Standing in the moonlight under a tall oak tree was a shadowed figure staring up at the full moon through the leaves. Another month has passed and I have yet to make it back to Sensei Nuno, she speculated her eyes scanning over the constellations in attempts to determine her location. Her bola’s draped from over her shoulder repeatedly bouncing off against her back. Although the stone pounded her back she didn’t show any signs of pain. Upon her white belt were two fans tucked in neatly against either side of her rounded hips. Quickly she jumped up into the tree tucking her legs in so her rotation on the branch would not end with a bruised leg. Twirling around the branch she let go landing upon the branch with a small sound from her impact.
Her shoes curving over the branch till she slipped up on her left side, Gaahh. Sliding backwards, Kami started tumbling backwards from the branch she had attempted to land on. Hastily she reached behind her head, both hands catching a hold of a branch wither her hands. Her body stopped in the tree like a bridge connecting the two branches sighing in relief that she didn't’ injure herself, it was hard on your own any mistake could cost you your life even something as easy as this little feat. Lifting her feet up and over her head she was now doing a handstand as she swooped back down below the tree landing on her feet.
“No more stupid exercises till I reach the next village, from the looks of it I should be reaching Konoha in a couple of minutes.” She said out loud to make sure that was really where she wanted to be. Fire was destructive, and probably her least favorite element. Nothing could help that though she needed to get some more supplies if she was hoping to get back to Sensei Nuno. “Fire and talking.” Sighing her head hung in disappointment, “I came so far with so little interaction with people and now I have to go talk with them. Maybe I can just slip in and out without attracting too much attention.
Watching the moon set into the sky over the hours of the night Kami finally was reaching Konoha she could see just a little farther up the road. Disgruntle she tucked her mask tighter around her mouth and loosened a bit of the wrappings around her hand in case something went wrong. The short girl slowly made her way through the town past various vendors that offered meals already prepared. It was strange city far different than the other’s she had been raised in.
Approaching a stall with various fruits and vegetables she turned out her pocket with a small pouch that was next to empty of all the currency she owned, this is problematic. I can’t buy enough supplies to make it two days out let alone week. I need work.
