She is 130 lbs or 58.96 kg. [B][U]History:[/U][/B] Nara Shikaro was the head of the Nara clan and was known for his excellent strategies and amazing abilities in battle. Shikaro had a deep rivalry with his brother, Shikayo, and they both catered to their father’s every whim in order to become clan head; in the end, Shikaro won. Kobayashi Sora was the daughter of a simple farmer and met Shikaro when he was found injured. They fell in love as Sora was tending to his wounds and married several months later. Around that same time, Shikayo’s wife had become pregnant. A month after Shikayo’s son, Shikashi, was born, Sora had given the news that she was pregnant. On May 27th, Shikako was born in the Nara Compound to Shikaro and Sora. Unfortunately, Sora died during the child birth due to severe bleeding and left Shikako motherless. Growing up, Shikashi and Shikako were continuously pitted against each other due to their fathers’ rivalry. Shikaro and Shikayo attempted to raise their children to be the best of the clan’s kids, prodigies. Despite their dislike, however, Shikashi and Shikako were close and could be considered best friends. It became clear that Shikako had a penchant for the medicine that the Nara clan made when she was five. Shikayo, angry at Shikako’s success, began to increase Shikashi’s lessons and even taught him advanced jutsu before his time. Because of his father’s harshness, Shikashi developed jealousy of Shikako and their friendship was broken. Around the time that the children were supposed to learn the shinobi arts more extensively, it was discovered that Shikako lacked severely in chakra control and could only perform the weakest form of Nara’s renowned shadow techniques. Shikako then began to envy Shikashi who was extraordinary in chakra control and strategies. With Shikashi’s promise, many of the clan thought that Shikashi should become clan head instead of Shikako. The moment that Shikako heard of this from her father was the moment that marked Shikashi’s and Shikako’s inherited rivalry. Shikako eventually learned the ways of taijutsu in place of the traditional ninjutus of her clan and began training with her emeici. Using her excellence in medicine and herbs, Shikako learned the ways of poison and now can paralyze an opponent, not with her shadow techniques, but with bloodroot extract. Shikashi continued to outshine her and Shikako continuously attempts to outdo him, but her efforts are futile. Many times they have had to train together due to their fathers wanting to test their abilities and each time Shikashi beats Shikako. One day, Shikashi and Shikako are on a mission together, fighting an enemy clan over information – though it was not that important which is why the duo was sent on it – and because of Shikako’s jealousy, she tried to take down the enemy by herself and, as a result, had her eye gouged out. Now Shikako struggles with her damaged depth perception while trying to retain her position as the next clan head. [B][U]Personality:[/U][/B] Shikako is a great specimen in regards to Nara intelligence. The brunette is known for her prowess in medicine, environmental knowledge, and survival skills. Her genius even extends to strategies, though she is not as well-versed in that art as her cousin Shikashi. Intelligence is not the only thing Shikako had inherited from her Nara forbearers, she also inherited their laziness and Shikako can often be found sleeping in her bed than training. Her wit is sharp and quick, and Shikako deals sarcasm as if a sword. She has a difficult time expressing her feelings, positively or not, and often conveys them through her sarcasm. The Nara girl is extremely blunt and will almost always tell people what she thinks if they were to ask – the only exception is if it will endanger her mission in which she keeps her mouth closed. Shikako could be described as apathetic; she generally does not notice others’ feelings and might accidentally disregard them in the process. Envy is deep-rooted at her being because of her inferior abilities in chakra control and ninjutsu or genjutsu. Over all else, Shikako values intelligence, honesty, and, the most important, silence. She is a firm believer in silence is gold and prefers the awkward pauses in conversation over the actual talking fraction.
