More often than not, that’s the first impression Kiyoko makes. She’s cold. She’s calloused. She’s cruel. And quite frankly, they’re not wrong. She’s a woman of few words, but those words will be the truth. Pure, unadulterated truth, regardless of whether it hurts or not. Really, empathy is pretty much a foreign concept to her altogether. Sure, she COULD try to walk a mile in somebody else’s shoes. There’s not anything stopping her...she just doesn’t. It’s inefficient. A shinobi is a tool, one that doesn’t need to be bogged down with doubt or worries, but must be ready to act at any time for any reason. No matter what. If that hurts some pansy’s feelings, so be it. She prefers being alone anyway. That’s not to say that Kiyoko is some sort of machine with no purpose in life. She simply takes her job very seriously. One has to in this line of work. Otherwise, one ends up… In any case, Kiyoko is just like any other girl She puts on her pants one leg at a time. She laughs when something’s funny. She cries when something’s sad. She just uh...won’t show it much. To remain stoic and calm is a ninja’s responsibility. Or something along those lines. And judging by how often she’s doing it, frowning must also be a part of a ninja’s responsibility. Listen, trust this disembodied omniscient fountain of narrator wisdom, it IS possible to make the girl smile. We’re not sure how, but just take our word on it. Underneath the cold exterior is an underlayer rife with self-doubt, anxiety, and regret. But there’s also a touch of stubbornness, ambitiousness, and pride. Lots and lots of pride. Because while the girl may doubt herself often, she wants to be the best. At what? Hell, we don’t know. Name something. She’s competitive enough to turn it into a contest. Winning, man...it’s a drug in its own right. So yes, a sort of freaky pseudo confidence comes into play. And yes, she may question her own ability at times, but she cannot accept that. Her ego just won’t let her. She’s got to be the best, and if she’s not, she’s gotta be improving herself. Always... From her allies, Kiyoko expects them to perform to the best of their abilities. She holds them to the same standards she holds herself to. And when everybody is pulling their weight or better yet, giving 120%, then, and only then, can a team truly be a team. So uh...slackers? Well, they piss her off. A lot. Don’t be lazy. Lazy is bad. Lazy people don’t pull their weight. Lazy people make mistakes. Lazy people inhibit the team. Lazy people endanger the mission. That’s not good. Don’t be lazy. Bad things happen to lazy people. Especially to their knee region... We good? We on the same page here? Good! Moving on. Despite being about as emotionally sharp as a bowling ball, she is quite the logical thinker. She may seem indecisive, but she’s really thinking through each choice up to its potential outcome and the consequences stemming from that. She may seem unimaginative, but she’s thorough. She may be a creature of habit, but she’s got consistency. She may be socially inept, but she’s a whiz with numbers. And she knows exactly where to put an arrow to make it hurt, but not kill. For example, the knee. Seriously, don’t be lazy. Just a friendly reminder from your dear kneeless, omniscient narrator. Oh! Protip: It’s not exactly a big deal but uh...don’t play her in cards. And if you do, just let her win. Just uh...just be careful. She doesn’t like to be looked down upon either. Actually, y’know what? Just walk away. Just walk away and cut ties with this psycho. Yeah, that sounds good. That sounds real good. [color=Aquamarine][b]History:[/b][/color] By the time Kiyoko entered the world, her mother, Aoi, was already a widow. Yoshi, her shinobi father, died unexpectedly on a mission shortly after his wife got pregnant. It was an odd death. In a way. Well, what else could one call the death of a perfectly healthy young shinobi, one in which the man’s heart exploded while on a routine mission? One posing little to no threat? But this isn’t the history of Yoshi Mizushima! It is Kiyoko’s little slice of history. Despite the single parent, Kiyoko had a fairly average early childhood. And while the family wasn’t swimming in cash, ends were met and the two were mostly happy. More so when Kiyoko picked up an interest in archery rather early, proudly following her mother’s footsteps. The gals bonded quite strongly over this. It got to a point that it seemed like most of the time the women were together, they were shooting. But Aoi was gone quite often. It couldn’t be helped. She was a shinobi and she had bills. Kiyoko took it alright. What can we say? She was a pretty independent kid. It helped that Auntie Honoko lived fairly close, so even if she was alone, she wasn’t hopelessly alone. For a while. But the world’s a nasty place. And sometimes terrible things happen. This Kiyoko would learn when she was given the news: her mother was dead. We’ll skip the gory details for now, but let’s just say it wasn’t pretty. And the young girl did not take it well. Not at all. No siree, Bob! Yet the orphan life on the streets never came to Kiyoko. Her aunt took her in without hesitation. Kiyoko grieved for quite some time, but she, like all of us must do, moved on. Mourning her mother wouldn’t erase the past and bring back her mother. The only thing she could do now would be to be thankful for the time she got to spend with her, and honor her legacy by taking the next steps down her mother’s path. She would need to become a shinobi. … That uh...might have been a pipe dream, however, judging by how horribly inept she seemed to be at most of the fundamentals. She certainly wasn’t a genius by any stretch of the imagination. It was only by her dedicated work ethic that she managed to improve herself enough to hit the basic requirements. And sure, she wasn’t going to be a monster bruiser, slapping fools down left and right with some mean hooks. And no, ninjutsu didn’t seem like it would be much better. But she at least grabbed the basics of those. Genjutsu was, by and fair, quite beyond her. Which suited her just fine. Mind games weren’t her forte. Her real strength lie elsewhere. She was moderately quick, which was nice, and a damn fine shot, which was better. The former was natural enough, but the latter came from even more hard work. But training solo can only produce so much. Which is why it sure was lucky that Honoko was just as into archery as her sister had been. While Aoi may have been the better shot, Honoko turned out to be a much better teacher. It was honestly a little scary how quickly Kiyoko improved under her aunt. Somehow, some way, Kiyoko managed to skirt by the Academy. She wasn’t the worst in class, oh hell nah, but just going by the rigid, old standards used by those dinosaurs, she wasn’t much better. Nobody cares how clean of a shot a lass can make if her clone comes out looking a little...undercooked. Oh well. She was now about to turn to the next chapter of her life. What would be written on those blank pages...it would be up to her to forge those words with blood, sweat, and tears. ...Believe it.
