While she's lived most of her life in poverty, she's also received a great amount of knowledge from her parents that sets her apart from other, similarly aged shinobi. Her upbringing was harsh and strict, but her parents took good care with raising her to be the great ninja that they never got the chance to be. Her mother trained her in Taijutsu, putting her in a brutal daily regime that pushed her body to her limits even at the young age of five, while her father worked wonders on her mind with his specialized hypnosis. They both pooled their knowledge into the girl, knowing full well that ninja would be tremendously important in the coming years, and with their ruthless tutoring they forged a daughter that was already a capable kunoichi by the age of ten. This was when her parents died, Seiga herself isn't aware of what happened, but they were slain by one of the smouldering remnants of Sai's terrible reign. When she reached the ninja academy, she was living on her own and without anybody to care for her. She kept with her parent's training regime despite her new found freedom, clinging desperately to the last semblance of love they had left for her, eventually graduating from the academy and becoming a genin with nothing but sheer force of will. Now, she still lives on her own, but she's begun to reach out to others for the love and praise she seeks, by diligently helping others in the village and doing as many missions as possible, she's managed to earn the respect of a few others in the village. [/i][/center][/hider] [b][u]Personality:[/u][/b] [center][i]A ruthless and headstrong individual by nature, Seiga isn't known for giving up or giving anything less than one-hundred percent effort at all times. While she can seem uncaring, she's a diligent and helpful person who doesn't care much for the rules when it comes to accomplishing her goals, but she's also a survivalist who won't risk her own life when situations are dire, and she's definitely not against running away when things turn against her. While she's analytic and perceptive, she's also prone to letting her emotions get the better of her, often putting her or others at risk. With the weight of her trauma and emotional isolation, she may be potentially unstable, as is she's already quite vulnerable to her emotions, but it could get significantly worse if she experiences too much more suffering. At dangerous times, her parent's hypnotism can keep her alive and get her out of dangerous situations, but it can't do anything about her injuries or make her do anything she isn't capable of.[/i][/center] [b][u]Combat Style:[/u][/b] [center][i]Seiga is a natural at taijutsu and manipulating the chakra flow in her own body, two skills that make her into more of a close-ranged fighter than anything else. She strikes hard and fast, a specialist of hit-and-run tactics who deftly dodges in and out of her foes range while throwing fast, accurate kicks whenever she can. By releasing chakra in explosive bursts from her feet and hands, she makes up for her lack of raw strength with deep, penetrating strikes and high stopping power. Despite her taijutsu prowess, she is still capable of using Genjutsu and Ninjutsu, usually integrating it with her taijutsu for great effect.[/i][/center] [b][i]Chakra Nature:[/i][/b] [center][i]N/A[/i][/center] [b][u]Jutsu List:[/u][/b] [center][i][url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Shadow_of_the_Dancing_Leaf]Shadow of the Dancing Leaf[/url][/i][/center] [hider=Custom Techniques][i][u]Hypnosis: Gate of Opening[/u][/i] [i][u]Type:[/u][/i] [center][i]Genjutsu/Taijutsu[/i][/center] [i][u]Range:[/u][/i] [center][i]Self[/i][/center] [i][u]Nature:[/u][/i] [center][i]N/A[/i][/center] [u][i]Description:[/i][/u] [center][i]A secret technique to achieve the opening of one of the eight gates through careful training of the body combined with a specialized type of hypnosis. While it takes a short while to induce fully, once activated the user effectively opens the first gate, the Gate of Opening. Because it is primarily an ability that affects the user's mind, its difficulty and effectiveness is relative to their mental state rather than physical capabilities, and while it does put strain on the body, it only requires basic physical conditioning to withstand. There are no longer any shinobi out there who know this technique, the only reason Seiga is able to induce it on herself is because the hypnosis was planted into her mind while her parents were still alive. They took their secret to the grave, so there is no way for her to improve upon or alter the parameters of the technique, limiting her to a minute of opening once or twice a day.[/i][/center] --------------------------------------------------------------- [i][u]Chakra Surge[/u][/i] [i][u]Type:[/u][/i] [center][i]Taijutsu[/i][/center] [i][u]Range:[/u][/i] [center][i]Close[/i][/center] [i][u]Nature:[/u][/i] [center][i]N/A[/i][/center] [u][i]Description:[/i][/u] [center][i]A technique that involves the explosive release of chakra from particular points in the user's body, usually the hands or feet. By directing this burst of chakra, the user can greatly enhance the effectiveness of their taijutsu, adding additional penetration and stopping power, as well as a bit of range. Because it relies on the natural flow of power, adequate momentum and strength is required to use this effectively, making it worthless in when fighting in cramped conditions or when heavily fatigued.[/i][/center] --------------------------------------------------------------- [i][u]Hiding in (the) Shadows[/u][/i] [i][u]Type:[/u][/i] [center][i]Ninjutsu[/i][/center] [i][u]Range:[/u][/i] [center][i]Self[/i][/center] [i][u]Nature:[/u][/i] [center][i]N/A[/i][/center] [u][i]Description:[/i][/u] [center][i]A simple stealth technique once used by elite assassins of the Hidden Leaf to hide from all watching eyes, this technique allows the user to merge themselves into the surrounding shadows to become virtually unseen. They remain detectable via chakra sensing, but other traces of their presence will be erased entirely, allowing them to hide even in plain sight so long as there are nearby shadows. Countered by removing the shadows which the user hides in, and while they may seem to fade into nothingness, they are still entirely vulnerable to attack.[/i][/center] --------------------------------------------------------------- [i][u]Hypnosis: Shadow Leaf Vortex[/u][/i] [i][u]Type:[/u][/i] [center][i]Genjutsu/Taijutsu[/i][/center] [i][u]Range:[/u][/i] [center][i]Close[/i][/center] [i][u]Nature:[/u][/i] [center][i]N/A[/i][/center] [u][i]Description:[/i][/u] [center][i]A hypnotic fighting technique triggered by seeing the user prepare a special feint, causes the feint to appear real and creates the illusion of being attacked. In the instant the enemy's attention to directed to the illusionary attack, the user has an ample moment to maneuver or attack completely unseen by the enemy. Can be seen through if expected, but because of the inconspicuous initiation it is more than capable of catching wary opponents off guard, especially if mixed with non-illusionary attacks.[/i][/center][/hider] [b][u]Equipment:[/u][/b][list] [*]Basic Ninja Tools (Kunai, Shuriken, Smoke Bombs.)[/*] [*]Stimulant Needles (Similar effect to Food Pills, although it causes a crash afterwards and damages the user's body when overused.)[/*] [*]Binoculars[/*][/list] [u][i]Miscellaneous:[/i][/u] [i][center]Secretly thinks that people who smoke are really cool.[/center][/i]
