Character Depth 

Personality:

    Yumiko has always been a curious child. Ever since she was adopted by her Sofuba (grandparents) she always found something new to satisfy her curiosity -from her Oji-chans' (uncles') kunai to her Oba-sans' (Grandmas') seamstress tools; you couldn't keep her away from anything. Through into her adult life she has maintained this curiosity but has learned to control it -well mostly. She still suffers with bouts of curiosity, many remembering times when she has tried to see beneath people's masks, find out what's in certain mixtures and attempt to take apart various toys and equipment that she gets her hands on.

    In her young years Yumiko suffered from a susceptibility to chakra exhaustion -her body not used to regulating her chakra when she began actively using it. As she had large amounts there were very little concerns that this would affect her in later life -it didn't after her chakra; but it did affect her mentality. She suffers from being overly cautious with her chakra, not using jutsu unless absolutely necessary -even then it feels like she shouldn't. This however does not hold her back from doing her best, she still understands when the situation requires a specific jutsu and the timing at which it is needed -ensuring that she is accurate and efficient in all situations.

    Yumiko is a strong individual, she doesn't mind taking the blame and bearing the brunt of the weight on her shoulders. She has learned to deal with stress and emotions in her stride -but knows the seriousness needed in certain situations. When out in a group she can lead or be led effectively and can easily follow commands whilst remaining 'on the ball' with her own initiative. Through the loss of her first comrades and friends she grew to appreciate how wrong missions can go -and how one act of insubordination can cause fatal results. However were she to be faced with the choice of completing the mission or saving a comrade, she would say that there is no choice -a comrade is always more important than the mission, no matter the number of lives involved.



Appearance:

    In all of her outfits Yumiko always wears a single teal and a single silver hair slide in the left side of her fringe -pulling the bangs from her face. (These slides were a gift from her teammates on her birthday, she keeps them with her to remind her of her vow).

Skin Deep

    Yumiko is fairly short for her age group, standing at 5' 4" most other shinobi -and even civilians- stand taller than her. She is lightweight and -physically- healthy, though there are debated about her mental well-being.
    Her upper arms and thighs are noticeably more muscular than the rest of her body due to her rigorous training focused on steadying her aim and moving quickly.
    She sports a shaggy head of jet black hair, falling messily to frame her face a the edges and in front of her ears -strands often fall out of place and present a tomboyish look. The small excess of hair she has at the back of her head is tied into a low ponytail, held by a neatly wrapped teal ribbon -that has the same texture as a bandage.
    She has one pale cream right eye -due to being blind- and her left eye is a light charcoal colour; often leading her to be mistaken for an Uchiha. Her skin is silky smooth and pale, despite spending plenty of time in the sun.
    Her body figure resembles that of a triangle -thin shoulders and medium size hips. She is modestly endowed and looks every bit the female she should be -complete with 'cute' small feet.

On Duty (Within Village)

    When on duty within the village she tends to dress more casually, knowing that she is relatively safer than when out on missions.
    She wears a high neck, non-sleeved long navy t-shirt like a dress -reaching down to her mid-thighs. Beneath this she wears mid-calf length, tight-fitting teal trousers to allow for easier movement.
    On her feet she sports a standard ankle high pair of navy open toe and heel shinobi sandals, well suited for ease of movement. Similarly -on her arms and wrists- she has long finger-less navy gloves that are tied by teal ribbons around her upper arms; accompanied by a leather archery guard on her right forearm and leather finger guard on her left hand.
    Her quiver rests on a strap over her right shoulder -allowing her to draw arrows quickly with her left hand- her bow is crossed over the quiver, string stretching over her left shoulder so that she can maneuver it speedily into her right hand. The quiver is made of a leathery material which has been strengthened to endure the hardships of the shinobi life.
    Lastly she wears a long teal scarf around her neck, tied tightly in a knot at the back-base of her neck and trailing in length to her ankles. Her hitae-ite -the fabric switched in favor of a teal one- is tied around her forehead, beneath her unruly locks of hair.

Mission Gear

    When on missions Yumiko takes care to be as inconspicuous as possible -but enjoys to continue to show her own style of clothing. She wears a simple navy high-necked, long-sleeved jumpsuit (zipped at the back and ending as shorts just below her knees) -wrapped at the wrists with white bandages that cover her hands up to the first joint of each finger, and thumbs. Over this she wears her usual leather archery forearm guard and finger guard on their respective sides, her quiver and bow take their same places as when she is on duty within the village.
    A teal split-side skirt starts from beneath her breasts -tied at the hem with a white bandage-like material- it splits at her waistline and continues to flow in length to her mid-thighs; allowing freedom of movement. Navy blue open-toe, open-heel, flat-soled boots travel to meet her shorts -just below her knees. The zips on on the inside and are covered with velcro-style flaps to prevent them catching or glinting in the light.
    She wears her hitae-ite on teal material around the hem of the split-skirt, it's ends are short so that they don't catch on anything when she is moving or taking up a position.
    Her hair is in the same style as when she is in the village, except for more care taken to keep her fringe out of her eyes by carrying extra hair pins with her -just in case.
    

Off Duty (Within Village)

    Yumiko enjoys to relax when off duty and tends to be less cautious on her clothing style and choices.
    Her hair stays as its usual messy self, in the same low ponytail and clipped left fringe. She forgoes her hitae-ite in favor of allowing her hair to fall freely -plus its easier.
    She adorns a simple white tank top -over-sized for her small frame - covered in teal and silver paw prints. Beneath this she wears a pair of loose knee-length cargo short in a charcoal colour. Keeping on her normal navy ankle-length ninja sandals she lazily trudges around town.


Background:


The Beginning

    My name is Kobayashi Yumiko -though I wasn't born with it. From the tales spoken by my Sofuba ((grandparents)) I was a sickly child when they first met me; at six weeks premature there was little hope for my survival. I had been abandoned -no more than an hour after my early birth- on the steps of the Konohagakure central hospital. Blind in one eye and shivering in the cold night air the medic-nin rushed me to intensive care; where I stayed for many weeks -each moment my possible last.

Miracles Happen

    At twelve weeks old my Sofuba visited me for the final time -they tell me about that day all the time and how my Oji-chan (Uncle) -nineteen at the time- name me Yumiko as a hope that I would grow to be swift as an arrow and a great shinobi. Their tears were of joy as they bundled me home, finally in the clear medically and all adoption paperwork completed. My blind eye wouldn't heal but my body was building up chakra fast, this would be a worry for most but for me it save my life. The excess chakra circulated and repaired my cells much faster, aiding in the strengthening of my weak body. I would never have superhuman healing abilities like the Uzumaki's but I would live a healthy life -loved by my new family.

Growing Up

    My early life is a blur to me, no memories just feelings of safety and love. My first memory must be from my third birthday.
    I can remember my Sofuba walking into my room -crib still holding me contained- they held two bundles of fluff in their arms, one black and one white. Placing them down into my crib I can still remember how my jaw went slack and stubby arms reached for them -pulling them closer to me. Soft, warm and comforting are the feelings I remember most of that moment -it was like I had found the missing pieces that formed the puzzle of my soul.

Joined at the Hip

    From the moment of my third birthday we were inseparable. It was when I began the academy -at the age of six- that I finally decided on their permanent names. Yin and Yang -they were opposites not just in colour but in personality. Yin was quiet and calm where Yang was boisterous and playful -yet they complemented each other so well. Whether they would follow me into my Shinobi life or stay as the loyal pets and companions I knew them as mattered little to me; we were one whole only with each other and that was all that mattered.

Heavy Heart

    I will never forget my first attempt at the Chuunin exams. I had been a Genin little over a year -training hard with my teammates and sensei to overcome my sight disadvantage- when our sensei decided to recommend us; praising how well we worked together. Thinking that we had little to lose we went for it -how wrong we were.
    We sailed through the first part of the exam and stayed up chatting into the early morning hours, getting only a few hours sleep before the second exam began. Whether the state of sleep deprivation was our downfall or simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time lead to the events that took place -all I know is I wish that day had never happened.
    Doing well we had two days of spare travelling time and were all ready nearing our designated rendezvous point -barely an hour before we would complete the second part of the exam. We must have relaxed our guard for the first thing I remember is the strong metallic smell of blood. Turning on my heels I saw the youngest of our teammates drop to the ground, head bent back to reveal her open neck, blood poured from the wound causing me to freeze in fear and repulsion -I hesitated. Next to me my other teammate collapsed to the floor, turning my head mechanically I saw the same as my other teammate but worse -his head was attached by the thinnest sliver of skin, tubes and flesh stuck out jaggedly and blood pooled from him; painting the world red. No longer able to hold the contents of my stomach I retched, bile and partly digested rice splatter to mix with his blood -shaking I don't remember much of what happened next, unable to think or process anything.
    I must have blocked out some of it, for my next memories were of a hospital and the tangy scent of disinfectant. Beside my bed sat my Sensei, head bowed in grief and a huge weight of responsibility. For a moment I forgot what had happened, wondered why my Sensei looked so stricken, why I was in a hospital bed -until i raised my hand to my throbbing throat. Feeling bandages -course and thick- around it I remembered the blood, the stink of iron in the air, the bodies of my fallen teammates...my fallen friends. I screamed.

Solemn Vow

    It took me years to piece my life back together -selfishly abandoning all we had learned together. I was void of emotion -even at their funerals; but one day it finally all fell into place. Stood at their graves -where I stand as I tell this tale- I made a promise. A vow to do what they could no longer do -protect the ones they loved...the village they loved. I will become a shinobi of not one but three ideals, three ninja ways. To protect those closest, to protect the village -and its Hokage- and to protect the Will of Fire.

This technique makes it where the Marksman is incapable of being surprised attacked, a sudden second sense kicks in as their body screams out to them yelling at them telling them to move, duck, dodge or anything else within that manner. This works on whenever they are being attacked. This technique however has a major flaw.

  Special: ---
  Drawback: This technique only works against GenJutsus.

This can also be done by an unaffected characters by applying a sudden surge of chakra into the affected person. The unaffected character must know GenJutsu Kai (Dispel GenJutsu) in order to perform it on an affected person. The affected getting out of a GenJutsu is dependent on the knowledge of the unaffected.

• Healing Hands (Minor) - [10/10 - Learned]
  
  Rank: "D"
  Skill: NinJutsu
  Effect: A Healer gains the ability to heal Minor Wounds within an amount of time.
  Special: ---
  Drawback: ---

Skills

• Lore, Animal (Region: Urban) -[5/5 -Learned] - 33/125 SP
  
  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.
  Limit: ---

• Observation - [5/5 - Learned] - 6/125 SP
  
  Rank: "E"
  Skill: Skill
  Effect: This skill focuses certain powers of observation - sight, smell, hearing, and touch.
  Special: ---
  Drawback: ---
  Description: Can be learned by an Animal. A failed check indicates that the character is oblivious until the thing is pointed out to him. This skill is important for ferreting out advancing enemies or ambushes, generally real-time events and actions occurring, versus scrutiny, which covers static objects or areas. A Game Master may roll an Observation skill check for a Character any time there is an NPC, monster, event or happening that a character might notice, even if he did not specifically state that he is monitoring his surroundings. Characters are capable of noticing any event within their perception. Observation reveals only facts, not motivation. If user has 25 or more Ranks in Evidence Analysis user gains a Synergy Bonus +10 to Observation. Each time learned user gets 1 die roll to increase the skill.
  Limit: ---
  

33 (Lore, Animal) + 6 (Observation) = 39
125 (Skill TP Limit) - 39 (Current Used) = 86
86/125 SP Remaining

Gotta get the cats accepted first however as you're starting with them. I just checked them out and posted there for a change needed. When you've got your cats accepted, then I can give you an acceptance here (Since everything else checks out here)

Everything looks great. Add in a link to your kitties under Primary please. Other than that you have my 1/3. Cats will just need to be accepted before the final approval, and don't forget you will need to train the skills to properly utilize the cats!

Since you have 3 releases and am a Ninjutsu Non-spec, I'd like to see which of those three you are mastering and which of them you are not. If you wish to master all three then a Grandmaster slot must be used as you can only master 2 releases total in the Ninjutsu Non-spec.

[Marika]

Actually that's not necessary, these are all future things that she can decide later on and doesn't require immediate decision.

Marika makes a point of me deciding later -that's what i planned.
However I do have the inkling that my focus will primarily be water and ice xx

Alrighty, you now have 3.3
