-personality
---
It is nearly a complete enigma. Few have known or spoken to her, and those that have can not get a reading. Her personality is known to only a small circle of people, several scientists who conducted a battery of tests. Their findings are as follows, although slightly abridged and edited.
The being known as It has nearly no emotion. Although her body responds in normal fashion to stimuli, her brain will not. When pinched, struck, or cut, she will remain passive, not even bothering to strike back. Repetitive flicking or prodding (tasks considered by the populace to be 'annoying') have no effect on her, even when performed for hours at a time. This also brings up another aspect of It: her patience.
To test It's patience, she was given a cube with a timer on it, set to three hours. She was told that the cube would open once the time had elapsed, but she could use any means necessary to open it. It simply sat for the duration of the test, waiting for the complete three hours without moving. We have deemed this trait valuable for a ninja. One such as It would be able to stake out an area or await an attack for hours at a time. However, this is not to say It is incapable of using force.
Our test of It's strength and rage was simple. She was given a large wooden sphere and told to destroy it. Not only were her strikes powerful, but also quite fast, allowing her to turn the sphere into rubble within 15 minutes. The odd thing about this is that It seems to be unable to be brought to anger. Even when faced with an insurmountable task (such as solving a paradoxical question), she will not become angered. She will simply continue to think until she has figured out what she has deemed right.
It has a rather peculiar sense of justice. It seems her deepest belief is in balance. This means balance between good and evil, right and wrong, chaos and order. However, It tends to do what is morally considered right. She appears to have a specific moral code, and thus rarely has trouble making decisions. For example, when presented with the normal 'sacrifice few for the sake of the whole' problem, in many different forms, her answer was unerringly the same. She always (even when it was her own life at stake) would sacrifice up to 10 people's lives to save 100 more. This seems to dictate that It tries to aid as many people as possible, even if it means hurting others in the process.
However, all of this has been brought out under thorough analysis of It's psyche and nature. Without these tests, It is a true mystery. Her personality is generally unresponsive at worst, and stoic at best. It has no friends, and thus responds cooly to all. This is not to turn away others, but a general polite response. It also does not discriminate against the nature of others. She will act in the same fashion whether she is aiding group of priests or a group of criminals.

-appearance
---
It rarely shows her face, and thus few know what she truly looks like. However, when she does uncover herself (which she rarely does), it is unclear why she prefers it to remain obscured. Only a single scar marks her face, although it does not detract from her clear beauty. It is a simple cut along her cheekbone. However, if one were able to see the rest of It's body, it would be clear the rest of her body is severely injured. Markings from whips and beatings are evident all along her back and legs.
Her face (since it is constantly covered) is very pale, white as porcelain in colour. This particularly accentuates her eyes, which are so dark they are almost black. Because of past malnutrition, her optics seem a bit sunken back into her head, although it is not very obvious anymore. It regularly cuts her black hair, preferring to leave it fairly short. As a result, the straight tresses stretch only a small length, reaching her shoulders.
Due in no small part to her extended lack of food, It is extremely thin, and will most likely remain that way despite her improved eating habits. Nearly 20 pounds underweight, this would (for most) make it difficult to carry heavy loads. However, after so many years of doing this very thing, It has grown quite strong. Thus, even though her pack and clothing seem to hang on her, she is capable of holding them up.
It's preferred clothing is white, to prevent from absorbing heat (since she wears so much clothing). On her body, It first wears a simple tank top and shorts. These she changes from day to day. However, all other clothing she wears constantly.
Covering much of It is a billowing white cloak. It falls to about her ankles, and seems to hang on her body. This is because the garment is made for men much larger than her. However, it serves its purpose, disguising It's size, shape, and even appearance. The edges of this cloak (sleeves' edges) as well as the hem are gilded with gold leaf, to add extra flair.
Atop the cloak, It wears another article of clothing: a cape. In sharp contrast to the white cloak, it and the matching cowl are both black. The cowl is constantly worn over It's face, despite the hot Suna weather. As with all of the attire It wears, the cape is symbolic. In the middle of the cape there is a large Suna emblem, signifying she is from the Sand village. To be safe, she also wears her headband wrapped around her waist (although it is usually hidden by her cloak).
It also wears a necklace; Although, it is no ordinary necklace. In fact, many see it as a rope with spikes on it. And, for the most part, it is. To be exact, it is a coil of rope that fits over It's neck, with 6 small wooden stakes strung on it. However, this necklace is to symbolize death.
It has one more important piece of clothing: a mask. However, this is far from an ordinary mask. Because It's face is generally masked around others, the mask is barely visible. On closer examination, it is very peculiar. Although it is human in shape, the mask is composed of three different materials. One is black iron, the entire left side of the face. The right side consists of ivory, even whiter than It's skin. In the exact centre, there is a thin band of grey steel, the homeostasis It strives for. Protruding from both sides of the mask are 6 spikes, for a total of twelve. Each spike is the opposite colour of the mask beneath it.

-history
---
On an unknown date in November, a young girl was born in the village of Sunagakure. There was nothing unique about this girl: no bloodline, no clan, not even her parents. In fact, her parents were among the worst ninja in the village, still Genin being sent on D and C-ranked missions (despite being over 20 years old). However, it was her parents that would make her life unique. The reason? They were poor.
Due to their low quality of work, the husband and wife rarely made as much money as they would wish. The low income meant they could barely feed themselves, much less a newborn child. They needed money, and they didn't need a baby. That was when they called in the Kanraku. The Kanraku were an organization centered around the enslavement of children, as well as other petty theft. They would buy babies for a very high price, then brainwash them into submission.
On that day, the girl was added to their ranks. In a brief transaction, all problems were solved. The couple had money, the Kanraku had a child. It seemed like everything was well. Of course, there was still the child. At that moment, she had no idea what was happening. But she would. She would.
For 5 years, the girl was allowed to be a child. This meant living in a small room, receiving no interaction apart from meals being delivered, and no toys or amusements. Additionally, the girl would have to teach herself everything, from speaking to using the bathroom. On her 5th birthday, her life changed. It is debatable whether that change was for the better or worse.
Her fifth birthday, she received one gift: grapes. These were not her grapes, that was strictly stipulated. Rather, these grapes were for 'the master.' He was a high-ranking member of the Kanraku, and liked to pick one girl to be a slave for him until she died... or was killed for disobedience. Luckily for her, the girl did the job well. By the age of 8, she was 'promoted' from servant to errand girl.
At this point, the child no longer had a proper sense of right and wrong; Everything she believed was as dictated to her by the Kanraku officers. So it wasn't stealing, but liberating goods from the evil forces of the stores. In short, the girl was the perfect slave. So, she was put in line for 'promotion.'
At age 8, the girl was the leader of the children. Having been there since birth and never been punished, the 6 other children living in the compound flocked to her for instruction. The Kanraku did not punish this; In fact, they encouraged it. If other children were more like the girl, they would have an excellent organization. It was the 3rd in command's idea to give her a position of power, an idea which was unanimously passed. The next day, a 'ceremony' took place.
The girl was awarded the rank of Sentinel. According to the masters, Sentinel was one step below becoming a member of the Kanraku. It also meant helping with the nightly thefts. Naturally, the girl was elated. She would be able to help the masters so much. And for awhile, she did. In fact, she was excellent at it.
The girl would go on to play every role available in a heist: whether it was posing as a beggar girl to distract the homeowner, or using her size to make it through small places. The Kanraku were both pleased and impressed. Perhaps the girl truly would become a member of the organization some day. Of course, they had no idea of the hell that was to come. Of the damage the girl would do.
The incident would happen when she was 10. It was supposed to be a night like any other. After completing two successful raids, the group was finishing up for the night with some petty theft. As they walked towards their next target, many congratulated the girl, who most called Sentinel. The Kanraku leader was also in on this conversation, and noted the high level of skill she had achieved. The girl was sure she would be promoted upon their return.
The third raid of the night was on a private home, or rather several. The group was invading the Li compound. Perhaps it was ambitious, but that was their way. For several minutes, everything went well. Then somebody tripped up, and off went the alarm. Within moments, ninja were streaming out of every door, attacking the Kanraku. And of course, the girl was no exception. There was a young woman about to kill her when she saw the girl's face.
Stopping for a moment, the woman learned the girl was only 10 years old. With a stunned glance, she asked, "D- Don't you know what you're doing? It's wrong! You can't take things and hurt people like this... you can't!" The girl barely gave the woman a second glance. It was time to go. After the survivors of the group met up, they all returned to the base. Little did they know how that would turn out.
About 100 feet away, they saw them. Shinobi Police and ANBU, investigating. Apparently they had made their way inside and had realized what the building was. The Kanraku, completely livid, began to move in. With several others, the girl was ordered to lay an explosive tag on the building. When all of them detonated in unison, the building would come down, and the group would relocate. It wasn't until the bombs had been set that the girl realized what was wrong.
"They're still in there!" she screamed, racing back towards the building. Before she could take another step, a Kanraku caught her around the waist. Looking her dead in the eye, he told her firmly, "They don't matter. None of them. Let's go." Ducking, she easily escaped the man's clutches. She had to get back to them. She was too late.
The explosion rocked the area around them, the tremors resounding for several second. From inside, several high-pitched cries split the night. After the dust had cleared, the girl moved in with impossible agility. Valuable time was wasted in the search, but she found them. Huddled together, and badly burned, the 6 children looked up, tears in their eyes. The girl felt an urge to embrace them, but they were... afraid. As the last child breathed her last breath, a single word formed on her lips:
And then they were gone.
The girl's cries split the night, causing several ANBU to rush towards her. Seeing she was uninjured, they did not bother with her, instead telling her to go home. They, of course, had no idea that the smoking pile of rocks was her home. She had no idea what to do. There was no way to return to the Kanraku, for she had no idea where their back-up hideout was located. After much deliberation, she had decided to go to the one person she knew: the Li woman.
When the door was opened, the girl collapsed in the threshold, sobbing uncontrollably. In an instant, the woman took her in, fed her, and let her sleep. The next morning, everything came out. The girl told her 'friend' the whole story. Although it was hard to swallow, several things came out of it. The girl was allowed to stay at the compound and learn the ways of the Li. She also expressed a desire to learn medical ninjutsu. Although she never gave a reason, the Li woman had an inkling of the reason why.
Two years later, the woman woke up to find a note on her table. The note read:
Dear Kumi,
It is time for me to go. Do not follow me, do not try to bring me back.
-It
The girl now called herself It, not wishing to reveal herself as Sentinel, the girl that killed 6 innocents. After registering into the academy under an assumed name, she spent a single year prior to graduation. During this time, she was requested, and allowed, to study both the Gouken and Muay Thai fighting styles along with her Medical jutsu and fighting style. She then began her work as a Genin. It was only one day later that she noticed a piece of news. A man had been arrested under suspicion of kidnapping children. A word rang true in It's mind: Kanraku. The next day, she appeared at the doorway of a certain building.
"Name?" came a bored voice on the other side of the doorway. A slip of paper appeared beneath the door. Sentinel. The door opened with incredible speed. the man standing at attention. Moments later, he activated his communication device. Holding a hand to his mouth, he mumured, "She's in. Blow the place."
It had made it to the children's chambers. As she reached a hand to the door... an explosion rocked the building. For a moment, her mind flashed back. The children screaming, the death, why? When she could see again, there they were. The screaming was real. Six small children were huddled in the corner of the chambers, rocks falling on their head. Moments later, It was beside them.
"Be healed." Her hands shone with chakra, their wounds closing up. Ushering the kids towards an ANBU outpost, she left them sitting on the steps until a ninja found them. Although she never knew what became of them, It felt all the better for the experience. Now, she works as a Genin of Sand, following her sole motto.

After the survivors of the group met up, they all returned to the base. Little did they know how that would turn out.
About 100 feet away, they saw them. Shinobi Police and ANBU, investigating. Apparently they had made their way inside and had realized what the building was. The Kanraku, completely livid, began to move in. With several others, the girl was ordered to lay an explosive tag on the building. When all of them detonated in unison, the building would come down, and the group would relocate. It wasn't until the bombs had been set that the girl realized what was wrong.
"They're still in there!" she screamed, racing back towards the building. Before she could take another step, a Kanraku caught her around the waist. Looking her dead in the eye, he told her firmly, "They don't matter. None of them. Let's go." Ducking, she easily escaped the man's clutches. She had to get back to them. She was too late.
The explosion rocked the area around them, the tremors resounding for several second. From inside, several high-pitched cries split the night. After the dust had cleared, the girl moved in with impossible agility. Valuable time was wasted in the search, but she found them. Huddled together, and badly burned, the 6 children looked up, tears in their eyes. The girl felt an urge to embrace them, but they were... afraid. As the last child breathed her last breath, a single word formed on her lips:
"Why?"

The girl's cries split the night, causing several ANBU to rush towards her. Seeing she was uninjured, they did not bother with her, instead telling her to go home. They, of course, had no idea that the smoking pile of rocks was her home. She had no idea what to do. There was no way to return to the Kanraku, for she had no idea where their back-up hideout was located. After much deliberation, she had decided to go to the one person she knew: the Li woman.
When the door was opened, the girl collapsed in the threshold, sobbing uncontrollably. In an instant, the woman took her in, fed her, and let her sleep. The next morning, everything came out. The girl told her 'friend' the whole story. Although it was hard to swallow, several things came out of it. The girl was allowed to stay at the compound and learn the ways of the Li. She also expressed a desire to learn medical ninjutsu. Although she never gave a reason, the Li woman had an inkling of the reason why.

Two years later, the woman woke up to find a note on her table. The note read:
Dear Kumi,
It is time for me to go. Do not follow me, do not try to bring me back.
-It
The girl now called herself It, not wishing to reveal herself as Sentinel, the girl that killed 6 innocents. After registering into the academy under an assumed name, she spent a single year prior to graduation. During this time, she was requested, and allowed, to study both the Gouken and Muay Thai fighting styles along with her Medical jutsu and fighting style. She then began her work as a Genin. It was only one day later that she noticed a piece of news. A man had been arrested under suspicion of kidnapping children. A word rang true in It's mind: Kanraku. The next day, she appeared at the doorway of a certain building.
"Name?" came a bored voice on the other side of the doorway. A slip of paper appeared beneath the door. Sentinel. The door opened with incredible speed. the man standing at attention. Moments later, he activated his communication device. Holding a hand to his mouth, he mumured, "She's in. Blow the place."
It had made it to the children's chambers. As she reached a hand to the door... an explosion rocked the building. For a moment, her mind flashed back. The children screaming, the death, why? When she could see again, there they were. The screaming was real. Six small children were huddled in the corner of the chambers, rocks falling on their head. Moments later, It was beside them.
"Be healed." Her hands shone with chakra, their wounds closing up. Ushering the kids towards an ANBU outpost, she left them sitting on the steps until a ninja found them. Although she never knew what became of them, It felt all the better for the experience. Now, she works as a Genin of Sand, following her sole motto.
"I just want to help."
