Character Depth
Personality: Asura has a personality that hardly fluctuates, demonstrating itself as one that is very stable, but still quite rebellious. The young ninja can be very disobedient at times, completely ignoring instruction and deciding to pursue his own path of success instead. While a troublesome fact, Asura demonstrates his potential intelligence many times by figuring out innovative ways to achieve what is being asked of him. A playful soul resides within Asura, but he is not as energetic as other children his age and is seems to hold himself to a higher standard, maturity-wise. He can appear to be very aloof at times, outright ignoring people right beside him. While there are moments where he shows massive disinterest in the people around him, Asura is careful to always be conscious of his surroundings and takes everything he's learned into consideration when making choices. In this way, Asura is a very cerebral creature.
Still, he doesn't seem to be the next war general for Konohagakure. His dry manner of speaking, infused with his ever-flowing sarcasm make him likable by other children, and a terror to his superiors. One thing Asura seems to rarely do is lie. Being so honest can serve to be a blessing and a curse as Asura doesn't hide his intentions. He'll tell a person that he doesn't like them and would never hesitate to question something he deems inefficient. Perhaps having this kind of approach isn't too bad, but the Senju clan descendant has the bad tendency to tease and condescend people. These efforts usually result in aggravating the person being victimized by Asura, only amusing him, but they are never done in an attempt to bully someone. While still very young, Asura appears to already have the concept of doing everything for a reason fully understood and perhaps even mastered.
When the time calls, Asura can be quite intensely serious, and could be deemed a very valuable ally. His determination is formidable when he is fighting for something he truly treasures. Things such as his family or those helpless to defend themselves are among the things he values. Being called out or baited seems to not affect Asura as he will blatantly ignore such childish attempts. He does appear to be mildly disturbed when embarrassed or when his pride is damaged, but his reactions to such are generally kept in check and he manages to escape through the use of his tongue rather than his fists.

Appearance: Asura Higashiyama stands at four feet and eleven inches tall and weighs seventy pounds. There is nothing very outstanding about the young boy's appearance. In fact, he is most known for his attitude. Nevertheless, he wears simple brown pants made of cotton. The pants' legs appear slightly high, resting just above the gray, ankle-high sandals Asura wears. His skin is a creamy white, leaning more towards the pale end of the spectrum. Above the waist, the boy dons a dark blue shirt and an off-white hoodie. The only piece of unique apparel that could differentiate Asura from other students are the gray half-sleeves he wears (Length is from wrist to elbow). He has no inherently special physical traits, being born with simple black hair and eyes. A "sextuple knife holder" can be seen strapped in the upper region of his right thigh, fastened by a strap over a bandage wrapping around the same area. On his back, fastened to his waistline is a pair of "speed loader pouches." They rest on the left side of Asura's waist, connected to each other by a single seam. The "speed loader" is gray in color while the "sextuple knife holder" inherited the wildly popular blue color.
Background: The Higashiyama clan is one of very little notoriety within the Land of Fire. The only fact that is most well known about this particular clan is that the Senju blood runs within them. Some believe the Higashiyama are a small league of Senju clan ninja whom went incognito and managed to discreetly adopt a new name, most believe the Higashiyama are simply a stubborn tribe that got lucky enough to create relations with the Senju. Regardless of the truth behind this hazy past, the Higashiyama stand strong in their hidden residency in the outskirts of the Land of Fire, near the Land of Whirlpool's boundary.
Eight years ago, Asura Higsahiyama was born. He was a child of high hopes as a path had already been laid out for him. He would be the first student of the Higashiyama bloodline to attend the Konohagakure Ninja Academy in very many years. The clan head was insisted that now was the time to begin making a name for their clan, and felt confident that their chosen champion would do them no ill justice. And so, Asura grew up as normally as any child would, learning and living happily among his family. He began training at the age of five, being held to a much higher standard than his friends. It was during this time that Asura demonstrated his natural proficiency in the art of TaiJutsu. It was also during this time that Asura had learned Suiton. Asura took all of his training very seriously and never gave any of his teachers problems as he grew older. In his eyes could be seen a fiery determination to succeed and give his village a better and more prominent name.
Asura trained under his father and two other men of the village in order to become an ideal student for the ninja academy. Thus, after turning five, Asura's upbringing became slightly harsh. He was forced to train day and night and push his body to it's limits. He learned Muay Thai's basics teachings directly from his father, and he experienced more tough training from this particular man than anyone else. Asura's father, Koji Higashiyama, was proud that Asura was the one taking on the sacred mission the clan head had laid out. Perhaps his pride was too much because he pushed Asura much further than any young boy should have ever been pushed. There was the belief among the Higashiyama clan that skill would only come with experience, and Asura was often victimized in difficult battles he had no chance of winning in.
Persevering through this was challenge enough for Asura at such a young age, and his personality was molded from such an upbringing.

At the age of eight, Asura was sent from his village to attend the Ninja Academy located in Konohagakure. As to not appear suspiciously out of the ordinary, the Higashiyama elder arranged the adoption of Asura by an elderly man who ran a toy shop in the Konoha village. This man, a person whom was previously associated with the Higashiyama clan through missions, currently acts as Asura's father and somewhat of a wise mentor.
Asura sometimes finds it difficult not being able to see his family, and this could be a reason why he is so rebellious at times. He sometimes wonders why it is so important to become a known clan now, and even considers simply running home in refusal of his mission, but there is the feeling of obligation he has to fulfill the wishes of his elders. He only moves forward with the mission of becoming the strongest ninja he can in mind, regardless of not fully understanding why he must pursue this path.
