She takes greatly after her mother, having light brown hair and large golden eyes. Her battle attire is relatively simple, consisting of an oversized black hoodie that she wears open, a burgundy shirt and dark grey pants. Kohaku claims that the reason she wears such large clothes is because her father believes she will grow into them eventually. Due to her recent spike in height growth, this seems very likely.[/i] [color=goldenrod][b][u]Chakra Nature[/u][/b][/color]: [i]Lightning[/i][hr][hr][/hider] [hider=Detailed Information][hr][hr][color=goldenrod][b][u]Personality[/u][/b][/color]: [i]While she seems to be the spitting image of her mother, Kohaku takes almost none of her character, as she has grown up solely with her outgoing and talkative father. She shares his extroverted personality and confident demeanour, and is on the more assertive side of the spectrum compared to some of her classmates. From a young age, Kohaku has always been bold and extremely curious; 'Life is too short', her father would often say, so she maintains her thirst for knowledge and social personality. She's even said to have a bit of a mischevious streak with her closer friends. Some people may see her as too nosy for her own good or perhaps too bubbly that it's more annoying than comforting. Kohaku does try to be as friendly and cheerful as possible towards other people, though her unique chakra perception abilities make her easily wary of 'strange' people. Even so, she tries to conceal her superstitions as best as she can, trying to be as welcoming as she can towards them. Kohaku doesn't easily tolerate insults towards herself or others though, suddenly becoming quite hostile in order to defend herself or another person. A bully is often met with a bombardment of witty comments, and some have noticed that the more angry she gets, the louder her voice becomes. She doesn't take arguments lightly either, always going the extra mile to prove her point. Kohaku despises the silence, taking whatever chance she can to liven a room up with a bit of noise and conversation. She's not considered much of a troublemaker, though she has been told off on many occasions for whispering to people when she's clearly not supposed to. Less talkative people may feel uncomfortable in her presence, as her energetic behaviour and loud voice can be a bit overwhelming. She has no intention of making anyone feel unsettled though, and can even feel a bit bad for 'scaring' someone off. When it comes to the competitive scene however, Kohaku puts her heart and soul into winning, determined to come out on top and make herself and her father proud. Nothing beats the great feeling of victory and pride. Although she appears confident in front her classmates, Kohaku keeps a lot of her true feelings to herself and possesses more insecurities than expected from such an outgoing girl. Contrary to popular belief, she becomes noticeably frightened in the face of danger quite easily, despite her efforts to conceal it with her usual confidence. She desperately tries to hide away her fears in order to not make any trouble for anyone. When confronted about this Kohaku becomes unusually snappy and attempts to deny what people have pointed out. As much as she wants to strengthen herself both mentally and physically, there are times where she experiences some low points from the belief that she's barely making any steps forward to improving herself. Constantly relying on other people is something Kohaku tries to avoid, as she believes she won't make any improvements without having at least some independence. She knows that her father works hard for her, and so she wants to work hard to improve herself as a person too; nothing hurts her more than becoming a burden to others.[/i] [color=goldenrod][u][b]History[/b][/u][/color]: [i]For the past fourteen years, Kohaku hasn't experienced anything negatively extraordinary or traumatic, never really having known her mother all that well. As it was a time where the countries were at war with each other, Akio's wife had suffered an unfortunate fate in the midst of bloody violence, leaving only himself to take care of his remaining daughter. Kohaku was only two at the time. The man knew of the struggles that would follow trying to raise his child as a single parent, yet he stuck with it and tried to raise his daughter as best as he could. Nothing was going to come in between him and his precious little girl's childhood. But despite his, he still found himself struggling to support himself and Kohaku. He would take missions whenever he could, and as frequently as he could. Making time for his daughter would be very difficult because of this, but somehow, he managed. Every second he was with her would be forever treasured in his heart, and he took this opportunity to teach her some wise lessons for her later life, sayings that Kohaku often recites to herself in dire situations. She quickly grew into an excitable and curious child, always asking questions and never not asking questions. She even developed a passion for reading at a young age, because her father thought she needed at least something to keep her busy while he was away. Who knew a child as active as her would ever become such an avid reader? Fiction was great and all, but Kohaku relished non-fiction, preferring to learn about the vast world she lived in. 'A fact a day' became her new saying, and anytime she was home alone she would read and flip pages for hours. The other days where she wasn't home alone would be spent with her father; as she grew older, the moments they would share became much shorter. One night, her father fell ill. Although it wasn't anything too serious - merely him overworking his body a bit too much - Kohaku's six-year-old self panicked as if it was the end of the world. Her dad [b]was[/b] her world. She finally realised just how hard he had been working for her, and it saddened her deeply. For the first time, Kohaku felt a sense of helplessness. How was a six-year-old girl supposed to help a well trained Jonin like her father? Would reading books all day really be enough to support her father when he couldn't work? A few months later, she entered the Academy. Her outgoing personality gained her quite a number of friends and many acquaintances, though even as a young girl she was set on becoming as great of a ninja as her father. She focused on physical activity just as much as academic studies, which she excelled at most. What she lacked in physical strength she made up for with brain power, though this didn't hinder her from training her own body to its limits. She recognised her talents and attempted to enhance them even more. Once written exams rolled in, Kohaku passed them with flying colours. The day fourteen-year-old Kohaku found out she had passed the Genin Exams was one of the most memorable times of her life. She felt like she had really accomplished something, and really made her father proud. But Kohaku was naïve enough to think this was the end. This was only just the beginning. Even though the war had come to a close, there would be no time for slacking off. She was a certified Genin now; things were about to get tougher from here on. Though, she was sure an occasional book wouldn't be that much of an interference.[/i] [color=goldenrod][b][u]Theme Song[/u][/b][/color]: [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wol-XHb1VhM[/youtube][hr][hr][/hider] [hider=Combat Information][hr][hr][color=goldenrod][b][u]Skills/Abilities[/u][/b][/color]: [i]• Good Speed • Good Chakra Control • Good Reflexes • Good Intelligence • Average Genjutsu • Average Ninjutsu • Average Taijutsu • Poor Endurance • Poor Strength • Poor Chakra Reserves [/i] [color=goldenrod][b][u]Special Traits[/u][/b][/color]: [i]Kohaku has not only inherited her mother's looks, but she has also inherited her mother's unique gift; effortless chakra detection. She had become skilled enough to be able to sense and examine individual chakra signatures from long distances with exceptional detail, and even tell how someone's feeling or if they are lying based on the fluctuations in a person's chakra, making her a talented interrogator as well as a great tracker. Although Kohaku is nowhere near this level yet, she is still noticeably perceptive, able to vaguely 'sense' what a someone's personality is like through their chakra signature, immediately sensing when people are near (she is currently able to sense chakra from within a 500 metre radius), and feeling overwhelmed after sensing someone's immense chakra potency. Kohaku is also quite sensitive to sound, a trait also inherited from her mother. She's finds herself to be very aggravated or sometimes even pained by loud explosions or even very heavy rain, and a bit unsettled hearing random small noises in an empty house that would usually go unnoticed. Despite this, she still prefers slightly louder atmospheres rather than a silent one where she can clearly hear a dripping tap all the way from the kitchen. Ironically, Kohaku is absolutely terrified by thunderstorms. From a young age, Kohaku had learned how to climb trees, and is now quite adept at it. She can often be found in a certain tree in a certain playground, usually with a book in hand. Also, while not necessarily a skilled strategist, Kohaku is quite knowledgeable about the world around her, from the history and founding of Konohagakure to the different species of birds found in different lands.[/i][hr][hr][color=goldenrod][b][u]Jutsu[/u][/b][/color] [hider=Canon Jutsu] [i][url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Lightning_Release:_Electromagnetic_Murder]Lighting Release: Electromagnetic Murder/Lightning Style: Earth Flash[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Lightning_Release:_Spider_Web]Lightning Release: Spider Web/Lightning Style: Spider Web[/url] [i]To be learned:[/i] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Lightning_Release_Chakra_Mode]Lighting Release: Chakra Mode/Lightning Style: Cloak of Lightning[/url][/i] [/hider][hr][hr][color=goldenrod][b][u]Custom Jutsu[/u][/b][/color] [hider=Custom Jutsu] [i][b]Name of Technique[/b]: Lightning Style: Discharge [b]Type of Jutsu[/b]: Mainly defensive, but can be used in an offensive way in some cases. [b]Rank[/b]: C [b]Range[/b]: Short [b]Nature Type[/b]: Lightning Release [b]Handseals[/b]: Four, ending in Ram. [b]Description[/b]: After forming her hand signs, Kohaku discharges a small electrical current from her body. Upon contact (e.g the enemy trying to grab her), the enemy receives a slight electric shock once the electricity is focused and discharged from that point, which is strong enough for them to retract themselves from Kohaku. This process happens within less than a second. She mainly uses this as an escape tactic, or a neat way to shock and temporarily distract someone in a hand-to-hand combat fight. [b]Weakness[/b]: This electrical current is still quite weak, and is only able to distract an enemy for a few seconds, and will not damage them in any way. One can also tell when she is using this technique, as small sparks will begin to flicker around her body. After an opponent is shocked, if she wishes to shock another person then she must repeat the hand sign formations. It isn't a reliable jutsu if the user is taking on multiple opponents at once, as the electrical current can only be focused on the area which one person has grabbed at a time. ==================== To be learned: ==================== [b]Name of Technique[/b]: Lightning Style: Raijin [b]Type of Jutsu[/b]: Offensive [b]Rank[/b]: B [b]Range[/b]: Short [b]Nature Type[/b]: Lightning Release [b]Handseals[/b]: Six, ending in Snake. [b]Description[/b]: Kohaku draws on and focuses as much chakra as she can to envelop herself in electricity, similar to the Lightning Release: Chakra Mode technique. She then sprints towards the target at full speed. Once she is a metre away from the opponent, Kohaku then begins to rotate her body clockwise, making it look like she has been enveloped by a whirlwind of electricity. As soon as she's within hitting range, she kicks her opponent on the side of their face with her left leg, then rotates one more time to deliver a powerful kick with the surface of her right leg towards the ground. This all happens in the time span of a few seconds, depending on the distance between herself and her opponent. [b]Weakness[/b]: As her chakra reserves are lacking, she only allows herself to perform this technique once. Kohaku also requires precise chakra control and a good sense of distance, as she needs to calculate how much speed she requires to reach her opponent, consider the distance between them so she knows when to stop accelerating to deliver the hit, and be able to control her chakra accurately in order to perform these feats. She must use this jutsu quickly, as she is only able to travel in a straight line whilst using it. Too slow and the opponent can easily dodge. Too fast and she will end up running into her opponent instead of attacking them.[/i][/hider][hr][hr][/hider][/center][/hider]
