He rarely talks and when he does, it is always in a rather playful voice. Harao is easily amused by people. He enjoys seeing the various chakra natures and taijutsu styles that other shinobi bring to the table. Being a bit self-conscience about his own slender build, Harao tends to use armor type jutsus that strengthen his rather slim body, proudly relinquishing speed for strength. You can often find him admiring his peers, complimenting them on their efforts and such. That's about as far as Harao's communication goes; being in the field, he behaves otherwise. [img=http://i.imgur.com/DN3p4.png] [u][b]History[/b][/u]: Harao was born and raised in Sunagakure by his mother. He was never told what had happened to his father, only that the desert had taken him. Harao vowed to become stronger as a man and as a shinobi in order to live up to the story's his mother told him of his father. Upon completion of academy, Harao recieved a gift from a friend of the family, a puppeteer. Harao began to spend more and more time at the puppeteer's shop and in turn, began to learn more and more about the art of puppetry and the gift he bestowed upon him. Though Harao never learned to actually manipulate puppets, he enjoyed watching the puppeteer's displays of expertise. Upon becoming a Chunin, the puppeteer told Harao the truth about his father's disappearance and the truth about the contents of the case he'd received. Furious, Harao rushed home to confront his mother for never telling him the truth. "I knew once you'd received that gift, the truth would soon follow." his mother said as Harao darted through the house gathering his things. It was done, Harao decided to leave Sunagakure. He felt as though nothing good happened there for him. One thing he did hold close was the mysterious case. He was instructed never to open 'til he felt the time was right, for what lie inside possessed great power. With the gift, a young and angry Harao set off on a journey to get as far as he could and as lost he could. This journey ended in Amegakure where his skills were accepted for their uniqueness. Here is where Harao placed his loyalty; a shinobi of the rain with a mystery to himself and a mystery on his back.
