She's been around longer than most, and has seen her fair share of despair and triumph. However, over time she has grown into a peaceful and generally caring individual, one who has only recently considered returning to her old lifestyle. She is known for keeping a calm, controlled smile at all times, even when faced with insurmountable opponents or heart-rending despair. Such is her strength of spirit, and her confidence in her own abilities. While once she would have deplored the idea, she has grown into quite a skillful talker and deceiver, skills that helped her obtain and keep a position of great power within her village even after she had passed the prime of her life. Using this, she kept on protecting the village long after she cast off her blade, until eventually the world fell apart around her. The woman who was once known as a peerless warrior has grown a pacifistic nature over the years, as a result of the losses she has experienced along the way. She should be content with sitting in her home, watching out the door while the world passes by. Yet, somewhere inside, the warrior's spirit fights to break free and burn once again. When the time came for her to die, she did not find herself simply accepting her end like she thought. Instead, she fled the village she had protected her entire life, fled for allies she didn't even know existed. When she heard that a rebellion was beginning, she agreed to provide her wisdom, but felt compelled to offer them more. The younger shinobi have never known her name, and she hopes they never again have to, but there will come a time when she has no choice. She fears that she will never be able to return if she crosses this line, and rightfully so, as this choice will certainly be the one that leads to her long story's final conclusion.

Developed specifically to treat burns caused by unskilled Fire Release users, but works just as well with damage caused by other elements. [B]Weakness:[/B] Limited to what elements are available to the user, demanding chakra-costs. ==================== [B]Name of Technique:[/B] Sword Art: Witch-hunting Blade [B]Type of Jutsu:[/B] Kenjutsu [B]Rank:[/B] B [B]Range:[/B] Close [B]Nature Type:[/B] N/A [B]Handseals:[/B] N/A [B]Description:[/B] A lethal technique known for its extraordinary speed, designed to strike down enemies fleeing or attempting to use Ninjutsu. Consists of a single, accurate thrust with a range of precisely two and a half times the user's ordinary reach, whatever that may be. [B]Weakness:[/B] Requires a specific stance to preform, with a noticeable preparation. If failed, tends to put the user off balance. ==================== [B]Name of Technique:[/B] Sword Art: Flash Blade [B]Type of Jutsu:[/B] Kenjutsu [B]Rank:[/B] C [B]Range:[/B] Close [B]Nature Type:[/B] N/A [B]Handseals:[/B] N/A [B]Description:[/B] A simple, yet extremely effective technique for attacking so quickly that one might not even see your sword move. Indeed, this technique's speed is its greatest asset, allowing the user to intercept incoming projectiles or deflect otherwise accurate blows while maintaining their positioning and stance. [B]Weakness:[/B] Can only be preformed standing still. Limited by user's reach and awareness. Tiring to preform repeatedly. Easier heard coming than other attacks, due to the chakra-enhanced speed cracking the air. ==================== [B]Name of Technique:[/B] Sword Art: Burning Falcon [B]Type of Jutsu:[/B] Kenjutsu/Ninjutsu [B]Rank:[/B] C [B]Range:[/B] Close [B]Nature Type:[/B] Fire [B]Handseals:[/B] 6 [B]Description:[/B] A technique that bridges the gap between Ninjutsu and Kenjutsu, channelling Fire Release chakra through one's blade and ejecting it accurately through a slash from their sword. The swathe of flames released from this swing is surprisingly dangerous, and effectively increases the range of the user's attack for a single strike. [B]Weakness:[/B] Slower than most Sword techniques. Limited to a single usage. ==================== [B]Name of Technique:[/B] Sword Art: Falling Swallow Dance [B]Type of Jutsu:[/B] Kenjutsu [B]Rank:[/B] C [B]Range:[/B] Close [B]Nature Type:[/B] Wind [B]Handseals:[/B] 2 [B]Description:[/B] A quick, dangerous mid-air technique used to recover from falls and strike at foes when they expect the user to be vulnerable. By swirling wind around both their body and their blade, the user freely rotates their body and may unleash a dangerous, wind-enhanced rotating slash on anybody caught nearby. Additionally, the user may explode the controlled wind when it is no longer needed, creating a mild shockwave upon deactivation. [B]Weakness:[/B] Situational. ==================== [B]Name of Technique:[/B] Empty-Handed Sword Art: Swallow Dance [B]Type of Jutsu:[/B] Kenjutsu/Ninjutsu [B]Rank:[/B] B [B]Range:[/B] Close [B]Nature Type:[/B] Wind [B]Handseals:[/B] N/A [B]Description:[/B] Ranked highly due to its intense difficulty, this technique is one that may only be used in times when the user finds themselves without a blade to use. Surrounding their own hand(s) with wind chakra, they enhance them much like they would with the Flying Swallow technique, but without the use of an actual weapon. The result is a blade of chakra, held in the user's hand(s) like a sword and almost as effective, albeit harder to control. [B]Weakness:[/B] Difficult and taxing. Not quite as effective as an actual blade. ==================== [B]Name of Technique:[/B] Hidden Sword Art: Backlash Wave [B]Type of Jutsu:[/B] Kenjutsu, Ninjutsu [B]Rank:[/B] S [B]Range:[/B] N/A [B]Nature Type:[/B] Wind [B]Handseals:[/B] 23 [B]Description:[/B] An extraordinarily powerful mix of Ninjutsu and Kenjutsu, which revolves around reversing the power of an opposing ninjutsu in the form of a massive, destructive maelstrom. To execute correctly, one must first create a whirlwind around their sword, pouring a great amount of chakra into this whirlwind alongside the blade itself in preparation for the force it will be unleashing. Then, when an enemy uses a particularly destructive ninjutsu of specific varieties, the user leaps directly into the attack, striking into the center of the technique, and causing the whirlwind around their weapon to surround it. If timed correctly, the whirlwind can theoretically redirect the destructive force in whichever direction they choose, amplifying its power greatly while also enhancing it with the power of wind. [B]Weakness:[/B] Extremely draining. Situational. Difficult to execute properly. Doesn't work on all techniques. Risky. ==================== [B]Name of Technique:[/B] Hidden Sword Art: Swallow Reversal [B]Type of Jutsu:[/B] Kenjutsu [B]Rank:[/B] S [B]Range:[/B] Close [B]Nature Type:[/B] Wind [B]Handseals:[/B] N/A [B]Description:[/B] A deadly sword technique known only to a very select few, all of whom are considered masters of Kenjutsu. Yet, despite its extreme difficulty and the huge amount of training required to master it, the Swallow Reversal is an absurdly simple technique. Consisting of three, accurately targeted slashes preformed in quick succession, the Swallow Reversal has been said to be "Virtually unavoidable", as any attempt to dodge one of the three slashes will almost always result in being struck by the others. The true secret of this technique is in the speed, which transcends the speed of ordinary techniques, allowing all three slashes to be preformed at nearly the exact same moment. [B]Weakness:[/B] Can be blocked, interrupted or otherwise intercepted. Extremely tiring to use. Requires even terrain, sure footing and a specific stance, along with an ideal distance from the user's opponent and a general lack of obstructions preventing all three slashes to be executed.
