All of her friends know that Asuka likes her alone time. Although it isn't really alone time. Although on paper the young shinobi is a resident of the cloud village, her true home is in the forest, and when she's "alone", in truth it's just time spent with her family of squirrels, birds and trees. And where others hear silence, Asuka hears the symphony of nature, the sound of the wind whistling through the branches and the leaves brushing against each other while birds sing int the canopies which she likes to accompany by playing her harp. Time spent in nature brings her tranquility and peace of mind.
Quiet
As Asuka's grandmother used to say "you were born with 1 mouth and 2 ears, speak accordingly.". In the young teenager's mind, silence had always been a virtue, a stepping stone to being a great listener. As such, she is a great listener in conversation which explains why her friends are numerous, always seeking to find interest in the lives of others and understand their feelings and emotional complexity. In truth, Asuka had a great many things to say and just as many stories to tell, but she was determined to wait until these things were asked of her before speaking up. Also, being very light, short and stealthy, it's easy to forget she's walking beside you, and just as easy for her to slip away without anyone noticing.
Joyful
Asuka's face without a smile on it is a rare sight, she is upbeat, energetic and genuine which makes her not only happy, but also pleasant to be around. With a smile that multiplies, onto the faces of everyone around her, faster than bunnies in the spring, the girl has very few enemies or rivals (although many who envy her joyful spirit). Admirers are common in this shinobi's life and although she does find many of the boys in the cloud village to be very cute, she's too much of a free spirit to settle into a relationship as well as being too simple minded to be bothered with such a complicated lifestyle. Being of the opinion that happiness is everyone's birth right, Asuka often finds herself spending time with the outcasts and the rejects of her age group, making sure they're able to find that happiness without a need for external approval. Simple, quiet and joyful... what's not to like?[/ul]
Appearance:
[/font]
4'11" makes Asuka just about the shortest person in her clan, she's also quite thin which makes her all but imposing. The girl's frame is relatively narrow which adds to her sweet and harmless appearance. As far as demeanor, the young member of the Tsubasa clan looks like the pinnacle of relaxation and peace of mind, she often walks somewhat slowly with one hand in her cloak pocket and the other holding her bird houses at the end of a stick over her shoulder in what seems like a directionless wander (and often is). Asuka's fingertips usually have traces of dried dirt from the time she spends in the forest but most people don't notice, as a matter of fact, most strangers have trouble noticing her at all. Often accompanied by 5 chirping cardinals, one can barely make out the sound of her footsteps as she wanders in and out of the woods.
Face
The smile worn across the girl's thin lips is complimented by her round face, button nose and pale rosy cheeks sparsely covered in freckles. The tip of her nose is usually a bright red from being out in the cold altitudes of the land of thunder. The shinobi's dark orange hair shines and glistens in the sun when she puts her hood down. She usually keeps her hair in a loose bun but will occasionally let it down into it's naturally bouncy state. Asuka's hair is thick and full, and more often than not, full of dead leaves.
Clothing
The Tsubasa's quiet feet are covered with calf-high leather boots in which are stuffed her baggy light brown cotton pants which are held to her waist by a thin leather belt. A tight, dark blue, short sleeved shirt which also happens to be made of cotton covers the girls torso and is tucked into her pants. Over her shoulders, Asuka wears a cloak that is dark green from the top of the hood to the middle of the elbow-length sleeve and then turns mahogany, over a hard line around her arms and her back. The cloak extends down to the lower calf (below the top of the brown leather boots) from which people have made comments that when the shinobi wears her hood up, she looks like a tiny tree. Asuka keeps this outer garment on with a 2" thick leather belt that is tied around the bottom of her rib cage and although it has strings to tie it at the bottom of the hood, she tends to leave those hanging so that she can wear her fluffy purple scarf with her cloud headband lost somewhere inside it. Yup... she loves her colors.[/ul]
Background:
Asuka was born into the Tsubasa clan in the month of April, near the end of a winter season that dragged snowfall out into May. At age 2 the ritual of the talon in feather was performed on her, binding her to a baby female Cardinal who was later named 'Aiko'. Brought up with both her parents and her 1 older brother all under the same roof, the girl was surrounded by love and comfort from the very beginning. Haruki was 3 years older than his younger sister and their bond was tight, some would say they were closer than two baby birds in the nest. On family vacations, the Tsubasa family would leave the Cloud Village and return to a little house deep in the forest that was build just under the canopy of a great oak where they would relax and the father would tell stories of the clan's history.
Growing pains
The girl started preschool at the age of 5 and quickly was quite shy about it at first. Asuka would usually stay in a corner of the school yard and talk to Aiko (which didn't help with her social cred.) until she began to realize through her first few friends that she was a likeable, funny person and that being herself was a sure fire way to make more friends. Clearly this wasn't true for everyone, watching others suffer from rejection made the young Tsubasa sad and angry at the world for being so unfair. Although Asuka generally had it pretty good, no preschool experience is lived without experiencing some form of bullying. Most of the children in her class were sons and daughters of Shinobi, and when one of them found out that she was 'the carpenter's daughter', it brought on a whole lot of jokes and sideways stares. Asuka naturally didn't know what her father's profession was until that day and at the time didn't really understand what carpentry was either.
Into the dark days of adolescence
At the age of 8, knowing then what carpentry was and having gained an appreciation for her father's work, the girl had nonetheless decided to go her own way and become a Shinobi. She joined the academy at 9 and was pleasantly surprised to find out that it was a place where being the 'carpenter's daughter' didn't mean anything to anyone, she was happy to fly under the social radar and make her friends in silence while she worked hard for 4 years towards her promotion to Cloud Genin. Having stopped growing somewhat early, Asuka watch all of the ones around her slowly grow taller and gained an affinity for keeping her chin up, both to be able to look into people's eyes and to stay positive. Although she made many more friends whom she could look down on as they sat on her shoulder, she had four new cardinals following her around named 'Mariko' (f), 'Hiroki' (m), 'Isamu' (m) and 'Kanon' (f). Haruki had decided to take on his father's business instead of becoming a shinobi, but this did not detract from their relationship in the slightest.
