HISTORY
During the three year gap, Aerie spent her days completing missions and endeavors in the name of Kirigakure. As those years continued, she also changed her views on the ninja world and how physically dependent it is. However, her thoughts were never given a chance as the current blood thirsty Kirigakure officials tossed them out of view like trash. Aerie has also become lonely, for her past Mizukage and current squad leader has gone missing and vanished from her life as well as any form of squad companionship besides her Koeru pets. Her shinobi life has pretty much always been absent of comradery and ninja socialism. However, she has made due with her lonesome life by excelling in her ninja studies. She has gained new skills and a new icon to admire. Erwin Ekkehard. One feature about him that she looks up to is his inborn leadership and responsibility. She also has a love for his Mizukage hat.
