It was no secret that sweets were ranked high on the list of Celayna’s favorite things. Recently she had stumbled across a book in her mother’s belonging’s detailing jutsus that had one thing in common – candy. Of course, when Celayna discovered this she had to try the techniques immediately. The first one involved gum and the proper way to handle it. As a child, Celayna had managed to get a huge wad of gum stuck in her hair, something she’d like to prevent in the future.

Grabbing an unopened pack of gum, Celayna removed a piece and popped it into her mouth. This part was simple. The hard part would be making sure the gum didn’t stick when she took it out of her mouth. As the pink haired kunoichi chewed, she scanned the jutsu’s instructions one last time. Basically, she needed to coat her hand with chakra which, in theory, would stop the gum from sticking to her.

It sounded simple enough, but she wouldn’t know until she tried it. Extending her right hand in front of her body, Celayna began gathering chakra into her palm. Slowly, the chakra she gathered pooled at the point she was focusing on. When she thought she had enough chakra, Celayna removed the gum from her mouth. Only to have it become firmly stuck to her fingers.

Celayna sighed. It looked like her fist attempt was a complete failure. As she moved her fingers around, trying to figure out what had gone wrong, the girl realized that there was one spot where the gum didn’t stick. Her palm. Although she had managed to gather enough chakra, she had forgotten to coat her entire hand. The result was the sticking mess in front of her.

Now that Celayna knew what she had been doing wrong, she was eager to try the jutsu again. After scrubbing the remnants of her failed attempt off her hand, Celayna began chewing another piece of gum. Once again, she began concentrating chakra into her palm. When she thought she had enough, Celayna began to distribute her chakra over her entire hand. She paid special attention to her fingers, since they would come into contact with the gum first.

When she was finally satisfied, Celayna removed the gum from her mouth once again. This time the results were a little better. The gum was still sticky, but nowhere near as sticky as it had been before. In any case, she was making progress. Tossing the used piece of gum, the girl prepared to try again.

The process of coating her hand with chakra went by much faster on Celayna’s third attempt. That’s when she realized that she had neglected covering the back of her hand with chakra. Although it might not matter most of the time, if the girl ever managed to get gum stuck to the back of her hand she’d surely regret it. Celayna resumed gather chakra, focusing on enveloping her had like a glove.

Maneuvering chakra was much easier when Celayna visualized the whole process. Since the palm of her hand was already done, she flipped her hand over. In her mind’s eye, the young shinobi envisioned her chakra flowing down her arm and onto the back of her hand. Remembering her past mistakes, Celayna made sure that every surface of her hand was covered. The edges where Celayna had previously gathered chakra blurred and merged until there was a single, continuous coating.

This time Celayna was confident she’d performed the jutsu correctly. But there was really only one way to find out. Opening her mouth, Celayna removed the gum she had been chewing. She tested the gum’s stickiness by placing it on various surfaces of her hand. Although the gum was a still a little wet from her saliva, it wasn’t the slightest bit sticky.

Celayna couldn’t be sure, but sometimes she felt like her butterflies were trying to tell her something. Unfortunately, she didn’t speak insect which made it impossible to tell. Or was it? Even though her butterflies couldn’t talk, they could still form shapes and patterns. The hard part would be teaching the insects how to use them correctly. If the kunoichi was able to train her butterflies to relay information to her through symbols, the possibilities were limitless.

Of course all of this was theory, and easier said than done. Nevertheless, Celayna was fascinated by the idea and undaunted by the challenges it posed. Using her chakra, the girl called her butterflies to her. The first step was to create a simple shape, and then try and teach the creatures how to properly use it. The kunoichi decided to start with an arrow. This shape was simple, yet highly versatile. So much information could be conveyed with a simple arrow.

Once her butterflies were gathered, Celayna began arranging them to form one large arrow pointing straight ahead. Creating the shape was a lot easier than she had imagined. Her butterflies followed her commands perfectly, although she doubted that they were doing anything more than mindlessly following her directions. Celayna released the butterflies from the arrow formation and began to think. When training animals, people usually used treats as positive reinforcement. Would the same thing work for butterflies? The kunoichi was unsure. The only treat she could think of that butterflies might like was nectar, and nectar was what they normally ate. In any case, it was worth a shot.

Leaving her butterflies behind, Celayna walked outside into her backyard. It was probably best to start with short distances for now. Walking up to the trunk of a large tree, the girl began slathering nectar on it from the flowers on her arms. Her chakra made extracting the nectar simple, and the entire process was complete in a couple of minutes. Once she was done, Celayna headed back to her room.

Celayna called her butterflies back to her and had them form an arrow again. Standing behind them, she commanded the butterflies to move forward slowly. When she needed to turn, Celayna commanded the butterflies in the arrow formation to turn as well, effectively causing the arrow to point in different directions. Celayna continued following and manipulating the butterflies until they reached the tree. Once they arrived, she allowed the butterflies to feed on the nectar as a reward. The process was a bit tedious, but Celayna was certain that the key to training her butterflies was repetition.

Once they got used to the process of creating arrows while moving towards a different location, Celayna decided that her butterflies were ready for a bigger challenge. She wanted to see if her butterflies would be able to lead her to a place where there wasn’t food. Celayna called seven of her butterflies to her and allowed the rest to disperse. Moving to an area about a minute away from her house, she commanded the butterflies she had taken with her to stay where they were and await her return.

After arriving back at the house, Celayna called the rest of her butterflies to her. When they had gathered, she asked them to take her to the seven butterflies that had split off the main group. Immediately, the butterflies began moving out the door. Celayna called them back. She wanted them to use the symbols she had taught them to provide directions. It took a couple of attempts, but she was finally able to get them to form an arrow pointing towards the correct direction without her explicit command.

Able Learner Trait

Lore, Animal (Coastal)
Rank: "E"
Skill: Skill
Effect: This skill enables a character to observe the actions or habitat of an animal and interpret what is going on as well as identifying said animal.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Actions can show how dangerous the creature is, whether it is hungry, protecting its young, or defending a nearby den. Furthermore, careful observation of signs and behaviors can even indicate the location of a water hole, animal herds, predators, or impending danger, such as a forest fire. A successful check means the character understands the basic actions of the creature, as well as the type of creature it is. A character may also imitate the calls and cries of animals that he is reasonably familiar with, based on the knowledge (user must learn per Region). This ability is limited by volume. A successful check means that only Chakra means can distinguish the character's call from that of a true animal. The cry is sufficient to fool animals, perhaps frightening them away or luring them closer. When learning the user must choose per Region and they may only have knowledge of Animals creatures. Each Skill level allows the user knowledge of each Animal category (Example: Novice can identify Common Animals, Master can identify Nearly Impossible Animals) within a region. Each time learned user gets 5 die roll to increase the skill.

As Celayna leisure strolled through Taki no Kuni, she noticed the presence of animals all around them. Of course they had always been there, but she’d never really taken the time to look at them before. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a hawk make a sharp dive. When it rose back into the sky, flapping its wings powerfully, there was a small creature trapped in its talon. It was probably a rat, and Celayna really couldn’t find it in her heart to feel sorry for the small creature.

Continuing to walk, Celayna came across a small, gurgling river. Crouching down on the bank, the kunoichi peered into the water’s clear depths. Sure enough, there were several fish darting back and forth. Watching them was calming. Celayna knew the names of some of the fish she saw, but others were completely foreign to her. There was even an animal she had mistaken as coral. Even though it was mostly stationary, when fish swam too close, it would open its gaping maw and devour them whole.

The pink haired girl’s observations were interrupted by a tug on her bag. Turning around, Celayna was surprised to see a bold duck trying its hardest to get into the bag. The kunoichi giggled at the sight. Apparently the duck was hungry and could smell the bread she had on her. Opening her bag, Celayna divided the bread into small pieces and fed some to the duck. After witnessing the scene, the duck’s friends became bolder and started walking towards her. She tossed some bread to those ducks too.
