I knew I shouldn't have asked if Ria is the only Uchiha kunoichi with a sharingan.

@Masaki Haruna

I should note, Mariko has no Sharingan.

| Ｆａｍｉｌｙ ｂｉｏｇｒａｐｈｙ: |

The Uchiha Clan (うちは一族, Uchiha Ichizoku) is one of the founding clans of Konohagakure.

The Uchiha are descendants of Indra Ōtsutsuki, the elder son of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki. Through Indra, the Uchiha inherited Hagoromo's "eyes", granting them powerful spiritual energy and chakra. As part of the so-called "Curse of Hatred" first displayed by Indra, Uchiha are subject to powerful emotions: these emotions typically start as love for a friend or family member that then become overpowering hatred when the object of their love is lost. This loss, whether actually experienced or merely threatened, awakens an Uchiha's Sharingan. It is due to the Sharingan that the Uchiha have received much of their fame and notoriety.

Mariko's biological parents have remained an unknown for the whole of her life. Her mother remains a member of the Uchiha clan, a distant aunt to her forbidden from revealing herself as the child's true parent for the shame brought by her conception. Her biological father is an unknown. If he had been a civilian, a shinobi or a traveler, Mariko's mother would not divulge his name or location either from lack of knowledge or to guard him from retribution. Mariko was instead raised by her biological uncle, Shiinichi, a well respected shinobi among the clan and his wife, Yukiko. As Yukiko was pregnant in the months prior to Mariko's own birth, she was passed off as her cousin, Eisuke's, fraternal twin. She is often at odds with her 'brother', but dotes upon her younger 'sister' Machiru.

This Gunbai has been passed down between Uchiha clansmen for generations.

It is a wide fan with tomoe on it and has a long handle with bandages wrapped around the base, as well as having a long cord attached to it. It is banded in steel along its edges and tipped with a long metal spike.

This gunbai has the ability to convert incoming chakra into wind nature transformation reflecting an opponent's attack back towards them. Mariko wields it both as a shield and as a mace because of its durability.

Naruto: Years of Winter - an Alternate Universe

Chimamire, Shirayuri

_{Returning to @Buddha.}

How long had it been since she first walked these streets? A silly question, all things considered. It had been four long years since Shirayuri was brought to Konoha on the backs of its military. Four long years since she was finally thrust into the world she was bred for. Yet, for all those years, for all the blood she shed in the name of the Leaf, she still felt so foreign. Even now, moving with the crowds through busy market streets, surrounded by hundreds of civilians and shinobi alike moving to and from on the daily lunch rush, she felt isolated. She wore the head band, did the missions, but these were not her people. Not the clan she was born into, nor the parents she swore loyalty and devotion towards. Strangers who looked upon her with just as much confusion as she did them, beneath their false empathy. It was irritating.

So was spring, now that she thought of it. With the thaw of winter came rapid peace. Nations had to rebuild, play nice after more than a decade of constant warfare. It was a brutal time, but it was simpler. No need to question the intentions of your peers. No time to contemplate your life. Track that rabbit, fend off those bandits, gut that merchant for the rice in his cellar. There was always so much to do, so much to strive for in those days. All for a single, definitive goal.

Survive.

The world was quick to resume 'normality', a normality unheard of since she was barely old enough to toddle at her father's side. To beam at those small glimpses of pride on his face when she conjured a boney spur from her body. Yet as the world shifted to enjoy the warm kiss of sun upon their cheeks and the fragrant waft of a blooming field, she was left behind. Unable to transition. Lost.

Walking off to have a piss wasn't supposed to end in a personal crisis. But, Uragiri would understand. If he didn't... fuck him. Guard duty was droll anyway, and she was hungry. How many nights had she... had all of them, spent with the pangs of cruel hunger knotting their guts? How many days spent running on the fumes of a meal eaten a week beforehand? No reasonable mind could blame her for wishing to never feel that want again. Not when there was food aplenty, just waiting to be gobbled down. The scent of frying meat hit Shirayuri's nose as she stalked about the winding web of street vendors and small shops. A smell which immediately caused her stomach to rumble in need. How long had it been since she had seafood?

___________________________

The satisfying crunch of a well fried fish skewer did well in heightening morale for the exiled Kaguya. As did the oily, salty flesh dancing along her tongue as she thoughtfully chewed each steaming bite before swallowing. However pissy her black-eyed companion would be for her bathroom break resulting in a half hour food grab would be well worth it. Approaching the gate she was ordered to stand vigil over, the poor lass was nearly run down by a distraught merchant on the approach back. Foolish man had nearly caused her to fumble the waxy paper bag holding her remaining skewers. However, balance and sharp reflexes won her the day. If only her agility would assist in ignoring the droning sound which hit her only moments later.

“Oi! Where the hell were you? Some guy just came by transporting illegal goods, and I could've used your damn help!

An annoying shout from an annoying 'comrade'. From the day she set eyes upon this malformed male during the hastily constructed post-war Chunin exams, she had disliked him. She had no particular reason at the time, not having spoken more than a handful of words long since forgotten to him, but he had always grated on her nerves. This little outing only confirmed she was justified in her initial judgement. Another bite ripping away the last edible bits of the poor aquatic animal on her wooden stick was made as she finally reached conversing range with Sakana. Mouth full of scales, flesh and tiny bones alike, she murmured a simple, non-committal phrase in response to his barking.

"Lunch."

Without missing a beat, she assumed her position at the small entrance's frame as she had been over thirty minutes prior, blue spheres lazily focusing on the distant road winding off to Gods know where. Without so much as looking at the fishy-eyed Chunin whom she would be accompanying for the remaining daylight hours, she flicked her mostly empty skewer at him, launching the crispy head on its tip towards his chest and hopefully into his palms.

"Found your dad on my way there." She made quick to quip. A small grin would tug on her mostly melancholy features at that jab towards his appearance.

Her lunch wasn't the only roasted fish present.

“I've always been kinda shit at dying, bud. You ain't changing that.”

| Ｐｅｒｓｏｎａｌ ｂｉｏｇｒａｐｈｙ: |

Chimamire, Shirayuri is a woman who possesses an apt name. A precious flower born among fields of blood. A scion of the feared Kaguya clan of Kirigakure no Sato, the young Shirayuri was destined by circumstances of birth to find life and inevitable death among the battlefields of squabbling Kages. Yet, fate had conspired to give this wailing infant a boon, or a curse, the moment she was pulled from her mother's womb. With hair pale as untainted snow, it was obvious to the midwives assembled she would live a life of greatness; she had inherited the mighty Shikotsumyaku.

As the first in generations of shinobi to inherit this rare Kekkei Genkai, it was only by her sire's high standing among the clan's brutal hierarchy that she was not ripped from her mother's arms immediately. A mistake for the bloodthirsty shinobi who made up her extended kin. Born only four years prior to the great winter, she had the misfortune to experience only a taste of the plenty which warmth brought, before the oppressive chill began to seep its way into the world. When humid summer nights would give way to mist so cold it froze upon your lasses.

Her clansmen were savages who preyed upon the merchants of lesser nations. When the tendrils of winter began to coil around the lands surrounding Kirigakure, and thus, their settlement, the initial shock was not as harsh for them. Send out a few more shinobi, pillage a few more towns for their grain. But as food began to dwindle, few convoys made trips through the isles. Fewer villages remained to prey upon. Even fishermen brought in fewer an fewer nets worth of precious food. Hunger, a feeling of which the Kaguya purportedly held for bloodshed, set in among her fellows.

Yet this wanting was lost upon young Shirayuri. She was a treasure, after all. One who should be coveted as much as she was feared. Her abilities would be an indispensable asset to the clan when war over the last remaining scraps of fertile land and stockpiled grain set in. Locked away from her kin for as much their safety as hers, the young girl spent her early years with nary the company but those of her own family and the occasional clan elder. She was taught, by poorly worded and aging scrolls read by her parent, to channel her bloodline's most desired aspects.

Mistakes was expected, but intolerable, with the lash working to deter her from daring to sully her gift with failure. She fought and toiled, battling youth and inexperience to show herself useful and worthy. She learned quickly, driven on by the sting of a cane and the occasional glimpses of pride upon her father's visage, or the rare displays of care and kindness from her mother. As she grew, she was shaped into a tool for her family's use. One who would push herself above and beyond for the smallest bits of praise.

Yet, for as hard as the clan tried, it too would struggle during the winter. Kirigakure, among the first aggressors in a war aptly named for the decade long season it was waged during, dedicated more and more manpower to the cause. The Kaguya, firmly set in their ways, readily volunteered boys and girls as young as twelve to make up the vanguard of the most bloody of battles. Losing many of their own as an expected result, the elders who governed over their murderous flock became increasingly insistent upon seeing Shirayuri's progression.

Conflict between her father and the clan as a whole only grew worse as she aged. It reached a boiling point when, during a particularly heated argument on whether she would be sent out on her first taste of combat with an enemy shinobi, that blows were exchanged. In a blind panic to defend her primary source of guidance in this world, Shirayuri slew one of the guardsmen who had accompanied the elders and consequently, assailed her father.

It became obvious then their folly. In trusting Shirayuri with her father and he alone, they had allowed him to swing her allegiance not to the clan as a whole, but to he and he alone. Her isolation had disconnected any kind of loyalty to her extended kinsmen. If she had been allowed to reach her full potential under such conditions, a coup would easily follow to depose the reigning head and his council. With this knowledge laid bare, the present elders called for the head of one Kaguya, Yashin before his child's very eyes. Although she chooses even now to think his following command was one of love for his child, it is more than likely that the following command to 'Run!' was made to ensure Shirayuri did not fall into the clan's hands whilst he planned his own escape.

Obedient as she was, the girl took flight from her home among the poorly populated compound as combat roared to life behind her. Having enough sense to know it was unsafe among her clansmen, the girl bravely forged past the poor perimeter manned only by those unfit for war, and into a world she had sparsely seen prior. As frosted fog poured through the surrounding woodlands, only the soft crunch of snow beneath her feet kept Shirayuri company as she fled. Bone sword clutched in shivering palms, she found purchase in a downed tree and spent her first night truly alone. It would be the start of a long string of such nights, as the child would soon find.

For longer than she would admit now, Shirayuri awaited her family. None such luck was hers. For, the only people who roamed those woodlands were occasional patrols of Kaguya shinobi, no doubt looking for her. Yet she could not betray the final command given to her. She would not allow the clansmen who, as she slowly began to realize, had likely purged her family for their assumed betrayal, to capture her to become their tool. Surviving off snow hares and the bark of trees, she set about leaving behind her homeland and finding a new place to call home.

The brutality instilled by the short time she had among family served her misguided self well. She had no quarrels calling upon her unique abilities to bring death upon those who would prey upon a girl so young, or against those who held what she needed to survive. The years of solitude in no man's land sculpted her. A defiance against fate, against the urge to simply lay down and die in the snow as so many had, filled her. She would survive, against any odds, if only because it was all she could do. She endured long weeks of hunger and nights so cold she thought her lungs would freeze from the air itself. Living as nothing more than a vagabond for two years as war raged on in the disputed lands of the world, she eventually stumbled upon the Land of Fire. It was perhaps fortunate she did.

Not days after crossing into territory held by Konohagakure, did Shirayuri find herself caught up in a clash of nations. Shinobi of varying villages fought for their lives, fire flying and lightning crackling through the dead of night. Her skills could only carry her so far, until by circumstance of confusion or simply misfire saw her struck by a stray jutsu and wounded. Although she crawled to temporary safety for the night, her injuries left her in a sorry state. By luck, as dawn broke, so too did one side of the conflict.

The victorious shinobi, clad in flaks as green as the foliage which now almost universally ceased to exist, routed their white jacketed foes and went about burying dead and tending wounded. Delirious from her wounds, Shirayuri could not resist the shinobi who stumbled upon her. If they would have put her, a simple civilian, down out of mercy, the shards of bone which sprouted from her body in half-hearted defense convinced them otherwise. She was brought back to Konohagakure in short order.

Lacking an allegiance to any village, yet clearly holding skills valued by a shinobi, it was declared after extensive probing by village ANBU that Shirayuri was no mole of Kirigakure, but a unique opportunity. Held in tight captivity, she was given an offer. She could, as a girl no older than twelve at the time, find herself a home among the Leaf and be enrolled into an advanced academy course to indoctrinate her a Genin, or disappear from this world as a whole. It was an obvious choice; she picked Konoha over perishing and cooperated begrudgingly, assuming a new surname and living as a civilian of sorts, provided for and closely watched by Konoha's government.

Within a year, she was clad in a Konohagakure forehead protector. Placed in a squad as so many were, she undertook a variety of missions in the waning years of the war, proving herself a vicious combatant and tempering her aggression under her Jonin's watchful eye. As the war came to a close and the winter slowly thawed, a Chunin exam was scheduled within Konohagakure to replenish ranks. Among those Genin who found promotion was Shirayuri.

| Ｆａｍｉｌｙ ｂｉｏｇｒａｐｈｙ: |

The Kaguya clan are descendants of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, and select few, namely Shirayuri, possess the kekkei genkai Shikotsumyaku from Kaguya's original bone-manipulating ability. This ability is so powerful that even the war-loving Kaguya clan feared it.

The clan is noted for being very savage and battle-hungry, having no tactics when entering battle that they initiated simply to show off their ferocity. It was due to this even when surrounded and completely outmatched, they refused to back down, preferring to fight to the death simply to entertain their own bloodlust to the last. This cost them many shinobi during the Winter War, with the clan's ninja flying Kirigakure's banner during battle.

Her father, Yashin, was a powerful shinobi renown for his taijutsu prowess among his clan and to a lesser extent, within Kirigakure. As one of the few among his clan to survive long enough, and show enough tactical prowess to ascend to the rank of Jonin during the Kaguya clan's initial alliance with Kirigakure, he was afforded a great deal of respect. Her mother, Nanoya, was a shinobi as well, although markedly less ruthless than many of her kin. For reasons unknown to her daughter, the stern Yashin had chosen her for a wife and fathered Shirayuri shortly after her promotion to Chunin. Her occasional showings of kindness made life slightly more bearable under the isolated training Shirayuri undertook early in her youth.

Kaguya, Yashin | Father | 40, Kirigakure, Jonin, Presumed dead
Kaguya, Nanoya | Mother | 28, Kirigakure, Chunin, Presumed dead

| Ｄｒｅａｍｓ ａｎｄ ｆｅａｒｓ: |

Shirayuri, although she would not admit such, craves the approval of others. It is her dream to be recognized for her achievements in full and to forge herself into the grand warrior she was foretold to be. Simply put, she dreams of achieving greatness and being praised far and wide for it.

She fears the very opposite. To die an unappreciated nobody, forgotten and rotting in the snow like the failure she is terrified of becoming. Cold weather, unfortunately, also makes her quite anxious.

Combat Reports

_{From detailed reports from previous missions and academy sparring matches}

“Do you even have to ask if any survived?”

| Ｆｉｇｈｔｉｎｇ ｓｔｙｌｅ: |

Shirayuri is an incredibly aggressive fighter. Specializing almost entirely in close range combat supported by her kekkei genkei, her main tactic is to simply overwhelm her opponents with her sheer physicality. She straddles a fine line in combat, appearing both as a savage relishing in the spilling of blood and a dancer executing perfectly choreographed feats of efficient brutality. Shirayuri possesses a tactical eye and a sharp mind for following the flow of a fight. She is very capable of lulling an opponent into a false sense of confidence, attacking wildly and without seeming pattern to bait out an opening before quickly exploiting it to end her foe.

| Ｋｅｋｋｅｉ ｇｅｎｋａｉ － ｂｌｏｏｄｌｉｎｅ ｌｉｍｉｔ: |

Ｋｅｋｋｅｉ ｇｅｎｋａｉ ｎａｍｅ

Shikotsumyaku

Ｄｅｓｃｒｉｐｔｉｏｎ

Shikotsumyaku is a kekkei genkai which gives its wielder the ability to manipulate their own skeletal structure. By infusing their calcium with chakra, they can manipulate the growth, shape and density of their bones as to fit their whims. This kekkei genkai is inherited into a rare few among descendants of the Kaguya clan.

Ｓｔｒｅｎｇｔｈｓ

The main capability of the Shikotsumyaku is allowing the user to manipulate the speed of their bones' growth as well as the location of calcium deposits. This allows them to create weapons of bones that can either protrude from any part of the body, or pulled out and used like handheld weapons. The user is also able to create a membrane of dense bone underneath their skin. They can even fire pieces of their bones as long-ranged projectiles.

Any bone that they remove from the body immediately regenerates, as does the skin that is damaged when the bones are removed. Users can increase the density of the created bones, making them stronger than steel. This not only makes the created weapons very powerful, but also makes their bodies virtually indestructible; the bones can withstand even a chakra-infused blade, the likes of which can carve thick sheets of rock like butter.

Many covet this ability greatly, stating that it gives the user an impenetrable skeletal frame, which can resist any type of physical attack. In addition, should a Shikotsumyaku user ever go on the offensive, they can instantly turn their bones into deadly weaponry. Because of this, the Shikotsumyaku is held in high regard as the ultimate taijutsu ability.

Ｗｅａｋｎｅｓｓｅｓ

The Shikotsumyaku alters its wielder's physiology a great deal. As such, it is difficult for those born with it to find traditional care for even menial ailments and nigh impossible to receive help for more serious conditions. For as powerful a shield it is, the user is not invulnerable to harm. Ninjutsu which depend not upon brute force, but alternate forms of damage are of particular concern and may render the user's impregnable physique moot.

Ｄｅｓｃｒｉｐｔｉｏｎ

Developed as a form of imitation towards similarly geared elemental variants of the Shadow Clone technique, the particular clone is formed not from blazing fire or raging lightning, but of bone. The user will expel a mass of grotesque calcium from their skeleton by surging chakra through their unusual physiology, which quickly forms itself into a humanoid shape, using segments of diamond hard bone connected by cartilage like sinew. Disguised by a thin coating of chakra as the user themselves, these clones act similarly to their counterparts, giving the user autonomous copies in which to combat their foes. However, unlike a traditional shadow clone these clones have a physical mass, allowing them to absorb damage which would otherwise dispel a purely chakra based entity. Enough damage will, however, cause the chakra which keeps the clone functioning to disrupt and end the technique.

As it is comprised of the very bone which makes up the user's arsenal, this clone is capable of using any Shikotsumyaku related techniques known. If Dance of the Seedling Fern has been used, the user can form these clones using the pillars of bones as a catalyst instead of their body.

Ｄｅｓｃｒｉｐｔｉｏｎ

A simple technique which allows the user to become one with any bone creations produced by their Kekkei Genkai. As it is their chakra which creates these structures, the user's presence 'blends' in, making detection efforts via sensory abilities impossible. The user may travel through their constructs while fused with them.

Naruto: Years of Winter - an Alternate Universe

This might be an odd question, but was Water Release all of a sudden a lot stronger/more used during the long winter? My understanding of water release is more powerful in areas that naturally have water, lakes, rivers, beaches, misty places etc. and since snow is just frozen water... I'm sure my line of logic isn't all that obtuse here :P

I also imagine Fire Release became rather popular for a rather opposite reason

Snow ninja had a fucking field day.
