Character Depth
Personality:
What was once a happy tomboy-like child; is now a cold and ruthless assassin, after having been sold into slavery by her parents. Kurome's owner was a harsh; abusive, and cruel man. He treated her not as a daughter but as a tool – moulding her to his design. She learnt to always be respectful of him, and to do as instructed for fear of punishment. Needless, to say this had a detrimental effect on her psyche, even mentally scaring her. She became withdrawn and unapproachable to others, while making no effort to socialize herself despite being surrounded by many other children in a situation similar to hers.
Kurome became but a shell of her former self – with the innocence of youth having been completely lost to her; replaced with information such as. Where too strike to prevent blood flow, where to pierce to damage an artery. It really was a horrible life. It was of little wonder that she fled to drugs and alcohol, after having been experimented on so frequently she had little to no regard for her own life. Even she started to think of herself as a tool – blaming herself for everything that had happened.
Kurome and the few other kids became the madman's ideal visage of an assassin; killing without mercy or compassion, a heart that had truly turned to ice – with only the nightmares and sleep terrors serving to remind him of their humanity. This horrible mentality continues even now despite her having been liberated from that man's clutches. Although she somewhat opened up to her liberator, the fact remains that she still makes no effort to socialize with the other members of the waterfall village and constantly berates herself for everything. She was weak, and that's why she's still addicted to that man's drugs.
Although now freed Kurome is haunted by the faces of her former victims – and so she should be, she'd say. It's her penance after all. Yet, despite this icy, unsociable exterior Kurome is actually incredibly loyal to the few people she'd call her friends. She saw so many other would-be assassins struck down by that man that she engaged in the art of Necromancy wishing to keep them with her, selfish? Some would say but it was what she wanted not wanting to let them go. Now freed Kurome is obviously opposed to slavery – but she certainly would never voice her opinion on it for fear of being returned to that horrible life. Nevertheless, the sight of abuse disgust her and so she'd happily rend anybody's neck should she catch them.
She longs for the days where everyone is treated as an equal, yet isn't naïve enough to believe it'll ever happen. Kurome is generally reserved never speaking unless spoken to having become used to people mistreating her, she even thinks strangers will do it upon meeting her sometimes – and that's why she doesn't approach them. Though there have been times where they haven't which has resulted in awkward silences and blushing
Appearance:
The first thing that most people notice when they look upon the pale young woman is either the lightness of her skin, and her scars or her height. She stands at 5'3” with jet black hair that perfectly compliments her deep black Irises. Kurome refuses to wear make-up believing she shouldn't be forced into trying to hide her past. Kurome's hair falls to just a few inches shy of her shoulders; while being perfectly even all around, while her fringe hangs to about the level of her eyebrows. She has a perfect heart shaped face beneath the unkempt mane of straight hair. Yet, she has never used a straightener or ran a comb through it. In fact she's never once made an effort on her hair – she's a ninja and her bandanna and goggles will keep it locked up even if it's blowing a gale.
Kurome's form is rather malnourished; and pale, but such should be expected of a girl with her past. Yet, she's actually quite lithe with a lot of muscles from her many days of rigorous exercise. Her chest is quite modest no bigger than a B but I'm not going to give you anything precise! She's actually quite proud of her athletic form despite the numerous scars upon her arms and back.
It might be due to this pride that she favours a simple black sailor uniform. As, her main attire. It's a short sleeve top that shows off most of her arms, and cuts. It's shaped in a v-neck styling too. As, for her skirt well it comes to slightly above her knees. She ties a simple red sash between the two items of clothing where she stores her ninja items. The sash also conveniently enough houses her katana perfectly.
This is the rather depressing story of a young girl named Kurome that begins with a rather messy birth in the Land of Sea. She was born in the springtime to a rather poor couple living on the land next to the Hou-Zu mountain. The two parents were less then pleased to have another mouth to fill; having already been struggling financially – but nevertheless they “carried on” and raised her for five years, before on the day of her fifth birthday an armoured man appeared at her doorstep and offered to purchase her from her parents. And that was the moment that everything would take a massive and horrible turn for the worse.
Kurome's parents sold her – they figured she'd have a better life with someone who could support her financially, and so after a tearful goodbye with her parents the armoured man escorted her to her “new home” but instead she was thrown into the dark forest and informed of a horrible cruel survival game where the first ten to reach the other side of the forest would be taken and moulded into assassins for the Empire, and the others would be killed. I have no words to describe the experiment it was a massacre but suffice to say Kurome was within the ten to reach the other side and so she was taken to begin her new life.
They more or less "raised" the young girl, raised her to be obedient and respectful. To do anything that they wanted. And so she did just that in fear of punishment or death.
She became the perfectly obedient slave, doing whatever they wanted, killing whoever they told her too. She became a tool to these wannabe assassin mentors. She always, and still does, blame herself for this – despite knowing somewhere deep down she'd of just been killed if she hadn't complied. She had abandoned all hope, all of her personal self, and had become a monster. She was just as guilty as they were, she was a criminal.
At the age of ten, something would happen. Something that would add back just a bit of the happiness into her life. The waterfall village had sent someone to correct these wannabe assassin mentors. The man they had sent had caught them while they were sleeping. The mentors had tried to put up a fight, but were no match for the ninja. To the little girl's eyes, this man was like a 'God'. She hid in one of the tents peeking out of the flap and watched him. He of course noticed her, but before he could strike the awestruck girl down, he realized she was just a little kid. From her frail, bruised and obviously underfed form, he knew that she wasn't a willing accomplice. That, and he couldn't bare to kill a child. He had a rather soft spot for kids after all.
So instead of killing her or abandoning her, he took her back with him. He tried to find the young girl a home. A home with two loving parents, maybe some siblings or kids her age to grow up with. But no one would take her in. It got to the point where he decided that he would just keep her himself, and eventually the two grew a strong bond. However, he soon realized that he couldn't simply 'undo' her years of training; nor could he repair her psyche or fix her addiction. She became his daughter, and he her father. Yet she still would not socialize – and so he called in a favour and managed to squeeze her into the academy under extremely careful supervision. They were pleased with her skill but the trainers had most definitely gained a few grey hairs keeping her under their care as they tried to suppress her blood thirst in combat. Indeed, it was a full three years before she graduated having changed very little.

Character Depth
Personality:
What was once a happy tomboy-like child; is now a cold and ruthless assassin, after having been sold into slavery by her parents. Kurome's owner was a harsh; abusive, and cruel man. He treated her not as a daughter but as a tool – moulding her to his design. She learnt to always be respectful of him, and to do as instructed for fear of punishment. Needless, to say this had a detrimental effect on her psyche, even mentally scaring her. She became withdrawn and unapproachable to others, while making no effort to socialize herself despite being surrounded by many other children in a situation similar to hers.
Kurome became but a shell of her former self – with the innocence of youth having been completely lost to her; replaced with information such as. Where too strike to prevent blood flow, where to pierce to damage an artery. It really was a horrible life. It was of little wonder that she fled to drugs and alcohol, after having been experimented on so frequently she had little to no regard for her own life. Even she started to think of herself as a tool – blaming herself for everything that had happened.
Kurome and the few other kids became the madman's ideal visage of an assassin; killing without mercy or compassion, a heart that had truly turned to ice – with only the nightmares and sleep terrors serving to remind him of their humanity. This horrible mentality continues even now despite her having been liberated from that man's clutches. Although she somewhat opened up to her liberator, the fact remains that she still makes no effort to socialize with the other members of the waterfall village and constantly berates herself for everything. She was weak, and that's why she's still addicted to that man's drugs.
Although now freed Kurome is haunted by the faces of her former victims – and so she should be, she'd say. It's her penance after all. Yet, despite this icy, unsociable exterior Kurome is actually incredibly loyal to the few people she'd call her friends. She saw so many other would-be assassins struck down by that man that she engaged in the art of Necromancy wishing to keep them with her, selfish? Some would say but it was what she wanted not wanting to let them go. Now freed Kurome is obviously opposed to slavery – but she certainly would never voice her opinion on it for fear of being returned to that horrible life. Nevertheless, the sight of abuse disgust her and so she'd happily rend anybody's neck should she catch them.
She longs for the days where everyone is treated as an equal, yet isn't naïve enough to believe it'll ever happen. Kurome is generally reserved never speaking unless spoken to having become used to people mistreating her, she even thinks strangers will do it upon meeting her sometimes – and that's why she doesn't approach them. Though there have been times where they haven't which has resulted in awkward silences and blushing
Appearance:
The first thing that most people notice when they look upon the pale young woman is either the lightness of her skin, and her scars or her height. She stands at 5'3” with jet black hair that perfectly compliments her deep black Irises. Kurome refuses to wear make-up believing she shouldn't be forced into trying to hide her past. Kurome's hair falls to just a few inches shy of her shoulders; while being perfectly even all around, while her fringe hangs to about the level of her eyebrows. She has a perfect heart shaped face beneath the unkempt mane of straight hair. Yet, she has never used a straightener or ran a comb through it. In fact she's never once made an effort on her hair – she's a ninja and her bandanna and goggles will keep it locked up even if it's blowing a gale.
Kurome's form is rather malnourished; and pale, but such should be expected of a girl with her past. Yet, she's actually quite lithe with a lot of muscles from her many days of rigorous exercise. Her chest is quite modest no bigger than a B but I'm not going to give you anything precise! She's actually quite proud of her athletic form despite the numerous scars upon her arms and back.
It might be due to this pride that she favours a simple black sailor uniform. As, her main attire. It's a short sleeve top that shows off most of her arms, and cuts. It's shaped in a v-neck styling too. As, for her skirt well it comes to slightly above her knees. She ties a simple red sash between the two items of clothing where she stores her ninja items. The sash also conveniently enough houses her katana perfectly.
This is the rather depressing story of a young girl named Kurome that begins with a rather messy birth in the Land of Sea. She was born in the springtime to a rather poor couple living on the land next to the Hou-Zu mountain. The two parents were less then pleased to have another mouth to fill; having already been struggling financially – but nevertheless they “carried on” and raised her for five years, before on the day of her fifth birthday an armoured man appeared at her doorstep and offered to purchase her from her parents. And that was the moment that everything would take a massive and horrible turn for the worse.
Kurome's parents sold her – they figured she'd have a better life with someone who could support her financially, and so after a tearful goodbye with her parents the armoured man escorted her to her “new home” but instead she was thrown into the dark forest and informed of a horrible cruel survival game where the first ten to reach the other side of the forest would be taken and moulded into assassins for the Empire, and the others would be killed. I have no words to describe the experiment it was a massacre but suffice to say Kurome was within the ten to reach the other side and so she was taken to begin her new life.
They more or less "raised" the young girl, raised her to be obedient and respectful. To do anything that they wanted. And so she did just that in fear of punishment or death.
She became the perfectly obedient slave, doing whatever they wanted, killing whoever they told her too. She became a tool to these wannabe assassin mentors. She always, and still does, blame herself for this – despite knowing somewhere deep down she'd of just been killed if she hadn't complied. She had abandoned all hope, all of her personal self, and had become a monster. She was just as guilty as they were, she was a criminal.
At the age of ten, something would happen. Something that would add back just a bit of the happiness into her life. The waterfall village had sent someone to correct these wannabe assassin mentors. The man they had sent had caught them while they were sleeping. The mentors had tried to put up a fight, but were no match for the ninja. To the little girl's eyes, this man was like a 'God'. She hid in one of the tents peeking out of the flap and watched him. He of course noticed her, but before he could strike the awestruck girl down, he realized she was just a little kid. From her frail, bruised and obviously underfed form, he knew that she wasn't a willing accomplice. That, and he couldn't bare to kill a child. He had a rather soft spot for kids after all.
So instead of killing her or abandoning her, he took her back with him. He tried to find the young girl a home. A home with two loving parents, maybe some siblings or kids her age to grow up with. But no one would take her in. It got to the point where he decided that he would just keep her himself, and eventually the two grew a strong bond. However, he soon realized that he couldn't simply 'undo' her years of training; nor could he repair her psyche or fix her addiction. She became his daughter, and he her father. Yet she still would not socialize – and so he called in a favour and managed to squeeze her into the academy under extremely careful supervision. They were pleased with her skill but the trainers had most definitely gained a few grey hairs keeping her under their care as they tried to suppress her blood thirst in combat. Indeed, it was a full three years before she graduated having changed very little.
