[B][U]History:[/U][/B] Nara Shikayo is the brother of Nara Shikaro, the head of the Nara clan. Shikayo had a deep rivalry with his brother, Shikaro, and they both catered to their father’s every whim in order to become clan head; in the end, Shikaro won. Shikayo fell in love with a simple girl who lived in a nearby village and went by the name of Kawaguchi Hana. They married soon after meeting and were eager to start a family. When Hana was pregnant, they were overjoyed, but it also furthered Shikayo’s hatred of his brother, knowing that his son would most likely not inherit the Head of the clan. 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. 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. Shikashi quickly rose in ranks and, within no time, became a jounin. His father was proud and with the speculation that Shikashi should be the one to become Head of the Clan, everything seemed to be going well for him. However, Shikashi continues to hold animosity towards Shikako despite having everything and she having nothing. It confuses him to no end, but the truth of the matter is: her dad loves her more than his dad loves him. And it bothers him greatly. Shikayo sees Shikashi as just another tool to have sway in the Nara Clan and with his father rising high in the political rankings, he doesn’t have time for Shikashi anymore. Not to mention that most people his age feel daunted to talk to him and so he feels all alone. Instead of reconciling with his long-lost cousin, he continues to bury himself a ditch of hatred, insecurity, and fear. [B][U]Personality:[/U][/B] Shikashi is neither serious nor much of a joker. He isn’t quiet nor is he that talkative. One thing can be said about Shikashi, though: his arrogance knows no bounds. Of course, due to deep issues pulsing through his memories, the arrogance is more of a front than anything, but he does fall victim to his own lies. He has told himself that he is the best so many times, has told others that he is the best so many times, that he believes it…unless it is late at night and he can’t sleep. Shikashi is well-mannered unless it comes to his cousin, and when she is around, he will let his tongue whip out like a sword, cutting Shikako with his words. Shikashi is an easily jealous fellow and hates it when others occupy the time of people precious to him: i.e. his dad. The Nara genius does have his good points though: mainly, he is focused and determined to do his best when on a mission and always looks after his teammates.

The user changes the shape of their shadow into several sharp needles and controls each separately.
