Personality:
Shan will never value anything more then her family. She loves them with everything she has. Everything she does is either for her or for them. Although Shan gets attention from boys she tries not to think of them too much. Most of her focus is on becoming a better shinobi.
Freindly:
Shan will often walk around the village and greet strangers just to make them happy and try to make friends. She doesn't like when people are mad at her because most of the time she just wants to get along. Because of this trait many people think they can take advantage of her but she wont back down easy either.
Playful:
Shan will always be a kid at heart. Even though she dreams of being great she still wants to be able to have fun every once and a while. She believes that life is precious so why waste it being serious all the time. She can get to work but will sneak in time to play if possible.
Stubborn
Shan may like to keep people happy but she likes things her way. She does not change her mind on a whim and needs convincing to go against her gut. She has a strong sense of what is right for her and will stick by that. The only people that can make her do something crazy is her parents. Other then that if she doesn't agree with it she won't do it.[/ul]

Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: The user is only capable of this technique within a certain amount of radius. To those that are out of the range of the technique they are incapable of feeling the technique or believe something may be considered somewhat fishy.

Their chakra becomes fuller, acting as if perhaps stronger, grander, creating the illusion as if they had demonic power deep within. Their chakra begins to flash in brilliant colors of Red, purple, black, oozing all around. The presence becomes fuller, but the user's power is simply the same as before. With a GenJutsu specialist and first learned, the user is capable of pushing this technique into a ten meter radius. For every Difficulty class the user grows the distance of that technique increases by fifteen meters. For a GenJutsu Master the maximum distance that the user is capable of using this very technique is fifteen meters. For every Difficulty Class the user grows the distance of the very technique increases by Twenty Meters. The distance is the meaning of how far someone, or how far people may be before they are suddenly effected by the very technique.
