"Meager and slender,
calm and collected,
little witch child
of deep connection.
Answer the call,
unleash your rage;
fly to the moon
conquer your cage.
Tricky and clever,
eternal surrender
into your arms
and into your charm.
Frail little body,
cold to the touch,
show us your presence,
reveal to us your curse.
And you shall speak, and your voice will resound;
and all the sound will echo around,
and in the resonating of your voice is power-
Then there will be naught but silence.
And in your silence let your hand outstretch;
and in that hand you hold power-
the oceans shall calm and the fire be lit
all under spell's magical guidance.

Character Depth
Personality:
- Stubborn
There's nothing quite like arguing with the one known as the Witch Child. It is said that one she has made up her mind, it is impossible to change it. She is deep set into her ways and beliefs, and would wish the most swift of deaths upon those who would dare to ask her to change. She doesn't not make decisions lightly. - Intelligent
If you would mistake the mind of the girl to be of the same 'age' as her body, then you will be startling surprised. Upon gazing into the brilliantly gray eyes, one will see a surprising intelligence, reading into every word that is spoken and said. She is very studious, and maintains a large vocabulary. - Religious
Ryoko believes that her powers of chakra molding are a gift from the God and the Goddess. She often speaks in reverence of them, who care for her and give her the strength to perform her duties. She considers herself a Priestess, but does not try to force her beliefs onto other people. She merely states her opinion unless she is challenged. - Arrogant
Quite a startling trend in a being so young, none the less, the power that has seemingly been granted to this young witch child has given her quite the ego. She is rude and obnoxious and considers herself to be above everyone else. She understands, however, that it is not the fault of everyone else that she is better, it was the design of her Gods and thus there's naught to be done about it. - Trustworthy
There is no promise like one coming from the mouth of Ryoko. A word from her is treated as the word of her Gods, and she would not turn her back on her words, no matter what the potential danger to herself. If you get a promise from the young girl, then consider it done.
[/blockquote]Appearance:
It is difficult to explain the many strange quirks that appear in the description of Ryoko. However, we shall begin from the top and work our way down. Shoulder length white hair falls down to contrast with a pale complexion; the hair, remarkably, is whiter than the skin. This gives her pale skin a darker appearance, but in comparison with the skin of other individuals, one would notice a distinct difference. The girl is also seen with slightly pointed ears- a strange issue that has had many people questioning her parentage. The eyes of the young girl are a pale gray that almost matches the starkness of the white hair. She has a multitude of freckles that exist upon the bottom part of her eyes.
Of eight years of age, Ryoko is also known as one of the youngest ninjas of her time. She has a fairly tall body for her age- perhaps a sign that her body rushes to meet the same standard that her mind is on. Although not technically an issue of appearance, there is an aura of intelligence that floats about the young girl, and that intelligence can be seen within every glance of the girl's extremely pale eyes. Many also often wonder if the white eyes make her blind; that is, of course, not the case, and was just a flaw of her birth. Her body is frail, almost as if to say that even while the body rushes to meet the age of the girl's mind, it does not get enough nourishment.
The girl's attire is fairly standard for the 'Witch'. A robe with a plethora of inner folds and pockets covers the entirety of the body. The robe, made of a dark green material, is soft to the touch yet durable, and can be used to block the most of the cold and the rain. Underneath the robe, the girl wears a simple shirt and trousers, even though they are men's garb. Her feet, nestled into milky tabi socks, are also fitted neatly into a pair of wooden geta to protect her from the more extreme differences in terrain. She wears no weapon pouch, instead relying upon the robes that she wears and its' many pockets to store her weaponry.
Upon her hands lie black, fingerless gloves. They protect the girl's hand all the way up to the knuckles, but end there. They are made out of a thin layer of leather that have been dyed black in color. The girl's nails are never painted, and makeup is never applied to the face. She does not believe in the use of cosmetics to enhance appearance or 'beauty', instead knowing that beauty comes from the heart and its' strength, wisdom, and resolve. Around her neck lies a pentacle, or five pointed star within a circle, that is silver and rests on a silver chain. She has a chilling soprano voice that is known to cut through the conversation.
History:
[/size][/blockquote]
Born of two unknown parents, Ryoko was known only as the changeling when she was discovered upon the gates of the Village of Rain (Amegakure no Sato). It was a cold night, wet and raining, when one of the guards of the gate heard the sound of a baby's crying. The guard, a woman known as Haiti, would move to find the source of the cry and would find, to her surprise, a baby girl wrapped heavily in a cloak that was entirely far too big for her. Haiti would take the girl to her house and care for her. That night, Haiti spoke a prayer to whatever Gods were out there, giving them thanks for blessing her finally with a daughter.
Time passes, and it is wont to do, and the girl is now four years of age. Standing outside and staring at the blossoming of the flowers and the trees, the toddler smiles and hears the sound of a song coming through the air. Looking around, she finally spots what she is looking for. Walking down the path is a man and a woman. These two individuals turn and face the child, walk up to her, and whisper words into her ear. Those words cannot be repeated, for no chronicler knows them, much to their dismay. However, it is at this time that the girl refuses to be called any name but Ryoko. It is also at this time that she becomes aware of the passing of chakra.
Since Ryoko was now naturally aware of her chakra, it took only a little bit of coaxing to her 'mother' in order to begin the basic trainings for ninjutsu. Before long, she was even performing techniques, much to the surprise of Haiti. Soon, it became noticeable that the girl was a 'genius', one of those rare child prodigies to come along and grace a village once every few decades. She would be placed into the Ninja Academy at age five; she would graduate at age six. However, due to the prevailing of Haiti, Ryoko was prohibited from doing missions due to her young age.
Instead, Ryoko spent time in training and meditation. It was during one of these days that she began to speak of the God and the Goddes; "Father and Mother". From nowhere, she seemed to don a necklace of a pentacle and now wears it upon her neck. Beyond that, she calls herself "Witch" and calls her chakra manipulating powers naught but gifts from Father and Mother. Above all else, she calls herself Priestess, suddenly appearing to become knowledgeable in the subject matter of religion. She begins to read books at a ferocious rate- startling enough, she seems to recall most, if not all, of what she reads.
During this time, the girl begins to notice the signs and appearances of large amounts of Mongooses. Following the trail, she finally comes upon, in a fountain near the center of the village, the Mongoose Family Summons scrolls. Signing her name upon the scroll in blood, she then completes the efforts to summon forth the first of the creatures and finally makes the acquaintance of the family. She feels proud of her accomplishments.
Finally, on the day of her eighth birthday, her 'mother' dies, leaving the home to the young Witch child. Many people, taken aback by the bright intelligence and strength within the child, do not want to allow the girl to live with them. The Council attempts to intervene- but she casts them away, telling them that she can fend for herself. From this day on, she reasoned, she would be able to do the missions. Using the few things left to the girl, including several books on basic Ninjutsu knowledge, Ryoko enters as a productive member of society.
