Given that there have been very few shinobi throughout her clan’s history, she is more or less unknown as a genin. [/i][/indent] [/indent] [center]————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— [h3]Psychology & History[/h3] [sub]From detailed inspection and investigation by Black Ops and medical personnel[/sub] [i]“Don’t ask me that. How would I know?”[/i][/center] [indent] | Personal biography: | [indent][i] Iie Hizen’s reign inspired fear in the Murakami clan, who suspected that their indifference towards clan politics and preference for isolation could be seen as insubordination - though they were a civilian clan. As with other periods of strife during Amegakure’s history, the generations born under Iie were raised with a sense of severity and sheltered from noncivilian elements in the village whenever possible. Partway through this thirty-year period, the new clan head, Mamoru, found it imperative to try to integrate a few members of the clan into some of the shinobi institutions in order to not appear irreverent. This decision was viewed with some consternation but seen as necessary throughout Iie’s rule, despite the relative peace. His death was met with relief. Yayoi, showing some promise with regards to her chakra proficiency, was enrolled into the Academy. This did not really interest her, as she more enjoyed the traditional skills typically taught to Murakami children - woodcutting and weaving, among other things. She did mediocre to passable on exams and was noted to be very lacking in her taijutsu, but excelled in areas involving chakra control. Outside of the Academy, she preferred to spend time with her civilian family, often running errands for her relatives around the village. This had the effect of familiarizing her with other civilians within Amegakure as well as isolating her from the other Academy students. Yayoi feels intimidated by other genin but masks this with a slight air of passiveness, and wishes to better integrate with the others - particularly with her cousin Katsutoshi’s ascension into the Bōdāgādo. Her feelings of inadequacy spurred her to try and improve upon her minimal techniques for fear that she would incidentally lead to the death of teammates by being burdensome. This pushed her to develop a few techniques - variations off of her [abbr=Can be seen as a rudimentary hiden.]clan’s bow technique[/abbr] - but Yayoi still feels this is not enough. [/i][/indent] | Family biography: | [indent][i]The Murakami clan is well-known in Amegakure, most of its few members outfitting various shops scattered throughout the village. As many other civilian clans without place in a shinobi village and particularly without place in one of the Great Shinobi Countries, they suffered immensely during the First Shinobi War. Their small village was attacked in small border skirmishes preceding the war, and the Murakami clan - comprised mostly of woodcutters - was forced to try and defend themselves amidst the chaos. Suffering and without the resources to relocate, the clan’s issues worsened at the apex of the war, when their village became a battleground for shinobi of the larger countries. Among the civilian clans, many died not only at the hands of warring shinobi, but as a result of the village’s pillaging, which left many without resources for extended periods of time. The constant and rhythmic rain that had made the village so idyllic and peaceful now represented an unyielding omen of despair amidst the First Shinobi War, and the following years of bloody skirmishes and civil war. While the Murakami were at first receptive to the shinobi settlers despite their unscrupulous origins - desperate for any levying of power - their enthusiasm quickly turned to dread and resentment as Amegakure became again a target, even as the war subsided. The clan withdraw socially within the village amidst the following coups and the unending succession of kage. Having tried to grow independent of external forces, members of the clan are traditionalists and generally become artisans within the village. While the clan is made up of civilians, they are hardy - leaning how to make baskets out of reeds to catch fish and other such practices at early ages. Members intimately value their family history and tend to distrust shinobi authority. This should not be conflated with disrespect, but as rather insistent and persevering disdain. The sense of cynicism has been replaced with fear in more recent generations, given Iie Hizen's relentless rule - despite the period of peace. Of interest is the thread of chakra proficiency that runs through the clan. Amidst the generations of war and chaos, members of the clan developed a technique to improve their archery as a means to survive. Trying to defend themselves from skirmishing and raiding shinobi was suicide with any sort of short-range weapon, but long-ranged bowmanship proved a better deterrent. Particularly against other civilians desperate to steal supplies in earlier periods of the clan’s history. Yayoi has improved upon this technique immensely as one of the few in her generation with a much higher chakra proficiency. [/i][/indent] | Family ties: | [indent] [i]Murakami Akiye [/i]| Mother | 42. Tends to the small amount of children and elderly in the clan’s complex. [i]Murakami Shigeru [/i]| Father | 48. Owner of a woodcarving shop in Amegakure. Hesitantly supplies Yayoi with woodscraps for her arrow projects. [i]Murakami Mamoru [/i]| Grandfather | 65. Clan head and teacher of chakra control and kyūjutsu to Yayoi. Iie Hizen’s rule has lead him encourage her to be a shinobi, as to advocate for the clan’s interests should a similarly ruthless kage come to power and see the clan as incendiary. [i]Murakami Katsutoshi [/i]| Cousin | 20. Refers to Yayoi as “Yaya”. Member of the Bōdāgādo. Very good at board games. [/indent] | Dreams and fears: | [indent] [i] Yayoi doesn't quite know what she wants, and is hesitant to set any concrete goals given the history of death among Amegakure shinobi and within her own clan. While her clan would like her to try and establish some fledgling amount of power as a shinobi amidst the present period of peace, Yayoi often struggles to see what lies beyond the next day.

Yayoi is a sensor type with proficiency in chakra control. While she does carry a [abbr= Traditional Japanese longbow]yumi [/abbr], its accuracy with regards to moving targets is nearly nonexistent - used more to draw out and direct targets. Still targets are often engaged in close combat, and she will not risk hitting a teammate. She prefers to shoot from mid-to-long range and punish enemies who stop moving to use ninjutsu or otherwise.

Chakra is used to brace the laminated bow in place and pull the string back further than normally possible. This technique can be used to dramatically increase force behind arrows, and extends the yumi's range by a large margin. If the user's concentration is broken, it is possible to lose control of the bow and have it explode onto the user.[/indent] [/indent][/hider] [hider=Yumi: Torēsu Nise][indent][u]Jutsu name[/u] [indent]Yumi: Torēsu Nise[/indent] [u]Rank[/u] [indent]D[/indent] [u]Range[/u] [indent][abbr=Note that nocking arrows successively halves the force behind them, so range decreases.]4km [/abbr] [/indent] [u]Description[/u] [indent] Used in conjunction with Chōryoku Hiku, this technique consists of storing chakra in arrows, which are then [abbr= Where multiple arrows are ‘nocked’ (put on the bowstring/bow) and then shot.]multinocked[/abbr] and flung in a volley over some distance to create false chakra trails. Flimsy arrows have the potential to explode or shatter upon impact depending on gravity.

The user can detect the presence of large bodies that come into direct contact with it. Accuracy is not intended. [/indent] [/indent][/hider] | Weapons: | [hider=Yumi][indent][u]Yumi[/u] [u]Weapon, tool, or object type[/u] [indent]Longbow[/indent] [u]Description[/u] [indent] A generally pedestrian-looking bow, trilaminated with trees from around Amegakure. Like traditional yumi, it is asymmetrical and stands at about the same height as Yayoi. Its poundage hovers at around 110 lbs, and fluctuates depending on how far it is actually drawn. It can be stored in a seal, and when unstrung can be used to inflict blunt damage. With regards to arrows: well-made non-wooden arrows are expensive and can be hard to come by, at least for someone of Yayoi's status. She has at most 40 reserved metal-tipped arrows, taking time to meticulously comb the battlefield to scavenge for the ash-forged tips after conflicts. Many of them are mismatched and recovered. The rest of her arrows are wooden-tipped and incredibly beat-up and rough-looking. [/indent][/indent][/hider] [/hider]
