With the other swordsman, Kirigakure civilians, or the Mizukage she is somewhat overly colloquial, yet refined. She does not yell or even raise her voice and always keeps a dignified level. However she does often get somewhat flirtatious, especially when she believes she can use that to her advantage. Typically, however against other trained Shinobi and Kunoichi this isn’t a likely option. In that case she is quiet and is certain to give off the appearance of frailty. She once served as a priestess at a shrine. The shrine had considered Ninjutsu a sin, to wield the power of gods was blasphemy. But she had never thought so. It certainly would’ve saved the rest of the other shrine maidens from being killed. However she didn’t feel too much remorse over it. Things like that happened in Kirigakure. It was a difficult place to be raised. She didn’t let it phase her too much. Though at night she did feel that it was difficult to capture a perfect night’s sleep. But on those nights, she simply trained. While some might not believe it due to her outwards often quiet but boisterous nature she has been in contact with the great summoning animals of the sea. She has formed a contract with the whales and is on incredibly good terms with them. She does have some traits that are more age appropriate, however. For example, she is a massive fan of ice cream and other sweets and finds bitter food to be absolutely unpalatable. [u]History [/u] [i] For a time long enough that [i]none[/i] alive remember its origin the Yuki clan have protected a shrine known as the mirror of the gods. This mirror is a crystalline ice sculpture that is said to reflect the very souls of pure men and women, and the past sins of those who are not worthy to gaze upon it. Kareha devoutly believed in the mirror and served as a shrine maiden protecting the mirror and making sure no farm would befall it. Though she dared not look into the mirror because while the other maidens believed that the mirror would respect only women who did not practice the ways of a Kunoichi, that pacifism was the only way in which gods would respect them. While Kareha at a young age did try to listen, she simply couldn’t agree with the sisters. She would sneak off in the snowiest nights to practice on an ice drift near the shrine where she couldn’t be seen. But one night she was startled to find smoke in the direction of the mirror. She was only ten at the time but as she tried to run towards the shrine the ice flow dislodged and she fell into the water. Gasping for as the cold overtook her she sunk for what felt like an eternity before passing out. She remembered as she did that people had told her before the old wife’s tail that drowning is absolutely painless once you inhale water. However that only made her brain fight even harder, she kicked and thrashed before feeling a push on her back and then nothingness. As if she had been pushed off the abyss of death. But seeing that she came to, she was obviously not dead. A whale had pushed her up to the surface. He explained that his name was Tōketsu a member of a mighty clan of ice wales. He mentioned that he had seen there was trouble at a human settlement by the coast and those words were enough for Kareha to kindly ask to be brought back. When she returned she found the bandits sacking the shrine. The mirror seemed untouched, it was far too large to move itself but she found some solace in that. She avoided its sullen glare and got to work. One man was standing beside a fairly large glacier, utilizing that Kareha performed a few handseals and suddenly a five foot icicle impaled the man and completely destroyed his blade, leaving just the hilt left. Kareha grabbed the hilt of the blade and as a man ran towards her to attack she fell backwards, burying the hilt deep into the snow. When she retrieved it to cover her body she felt a wicked vibration rocket through her hand and her eyes shot open. An elegant crystalline blade of ice not unlike the mirror had sprung forth from the hilt. Was this her doing? She managed to slay the man following this revelation, and moved on to do the same to the rest of the men who had raided the shrine. She retrieved an umbrella from her room that was now tattered from the skirmish, and made her way to the mirror. Her outfit torn to shreds and face covered in the blood of her enemies, she approached the mirror. She had just seen the face of death, she could take the mirror’s judgement. But it offered her none. Kareha would go on to join Kirigakure as one of the seven swordsman of the mist after quickly picking up some of the techniques native to that area. This, after she trained with Tōketsu who taught her a great deal about Ninjutsu, Suiton and her Hyōton techniques. In order to join the Seven Swordsman, there had to be an opening. They were a pretty amoral group, so they didn’t really care how the opening was made as long as it was. As such Kareha approached the candidate she considered to be the most powerful, she was going to prove a point. He, like most of the swordsman, practiced Suiton techniques but he was also known for his Doton proficiency. She approached him on the outskirts of the village, with the rest of the Swordsman and challenged him to a duel for his place in the ground. They were on a small bridge overlooking a river, a fairly peaceful area. He was a proud man and waved off any support for the fight, leaving just a thirteen year old Kareha and this man to duel. He pulled his blade from his hip, it was a monstrous thing massive in size. It looked like a chef’s knife. “Kirigakure no Jutsu.” The bread and butter of the mist. He uttered the words under his breath and a deep mist emanated from his body. She had practiced in these kinds of conditions before, taking the hilt of her blade and dragging her hand alongside where a blade would be. The water droplets formed into a beautiful crystalline sword. “Hyōken no Jutsu.” She whispered unto the sword. “Sairento Kiringu.” The man said. “Muon Satsujin.” Kareha replied. Their two blades struck one another tiny shards of ice flying from the sword, only to be replaced by the water droplets floating through the air. He attempted to land a punch on Kareha’s mid-section while their blades were still entwined, but she evaded to her right, twirling and allowing his heavy blade to clash into the ground. Before he could follow up her hands had struck the ground. “Haran Banshō.” A massive amount of water poured out from above her, and filled the river up to its brim, only thing keeping the bridge safe from being overflown itself were the guard rails on either side. She jumped onto the water, concentrating the Chakra in her feet in order to stand on it. Muon Satsujin worked well on land, but one couldn’t silence the noise of displacing water with their feet. As she heard her opponent approach she slammed her foot into the water, immediately it shifted into ice, springing forth from her foot and freezing the entire river bed, this stopped him in his tracks. “Hoho, I like this girl.” One of the seven said, clasping his fingers behind his back with a cheeky grin. The footsteps all but stopped as the ice spread out from around her. All she had to do now was locate him. But as she looked to the left and right as the mist dissipated from around them she couldn’t find her target. [i]Above![/i] She immediately drew her blade in a defensive pose as he came down upon her. Nearly bisecting her blade and most likely Kareha. “Still I think there’s a bit too much of a skill gap here.” The same man said tapping his foot into the ice. She knew that it was now or never. She allowed the sword to shatter and dropped the hilt, angling her body away from the massive blade as it struck the ice, hard. She weaved three, four, five, six. She felt a kick land square on her chest that sent her skidding backwards on the ice. Perhaps fractured a rib. Seven, eight, nine, ten. She allowed the technique to release and as he retrieved his sword a ten foot spear of ice came up through his lower back and pierced his midsection. Fatally impaling him. Red tinted the ice, as she came to retrieve her blade. She followed rank with the Seven Swordsman of the Mist and left the body to freeze over and serve as a warning. She soon became something of a local legend with her unique Kekkei Genkai, young age, status as a swordsman of the mist, and past as a shrine maiden. This reputation elicited her change in personality, along with Kareha just growing up. She learned to be colder, harder to read, and entirely more manipulative. She had a penchant for deceit that only allowed her further success as a Kunoichi for Kirigakure. She was no longer a shrine maiden, that girl had died long ago.

C – Chakra Pool C - Chakra Control D – Taijutsu Note – Incredibly weak against Fire-Based Techniques[/i] [u]Weapons, Tools and Equipment[/u]】 [b]Standard Weapons:[/b] Kunai x20, carries two explosive tags. -------- [b]Unique Weapons:[/b] [b]Name:[/b] [u]Omoide 思い出[/u] [b]Description:[/b] The old tattered umbrella that Kareha carries around with her. It can fold up to essentially resemble a larger walking stick. She carries it in a large harness around her chest it hangs diagonally across her back. [b]Special Skills:[/b] Omoide has two very specific seals on it. The first, located on the inner portion of the umbrella is a protective seal. By channeling a small amount of chakra into the handle of the umbrella Kareha can activate it and encase herself in a ball of water that can protect her from fire techniques and weaker Ninjutsu. She can deactivate this technique by stopping the flow of chakra from her hand to the handle. The second and final technique Omoide possesses is in the form of a seal on the outwards facing side of the umbrella. It is activated in a similar fashion to the first technique however instead of one hand being placed on the umbrella, two are required. When the seal is activated it releases a Genjutsu is released that causes the victim to immediately have their senses reversed. This victim will be caught if they look directly at the bright flash of light. It will feel as though attempting to move their right hand will move their left and so on. This technique, unless reversed will only last for twenty seconds. It is only a D-rank Genjutsu, though some may not initially realize it is a Genjutsu, all the same any user who has used Kai should be able to interrupt the technique. -------- [b]Unique Weapons:[/b] [b]Name:[/b] [u]Gōkyū Kōri 号泣氷[/u] [b]Description:[/b] A hilt which is wrapped in bandages with the bandage dangling down resembling a ribbon or silk. The blade itself is made through Hyōken no Jutsu and is constructed through Chakra-infused ice. Kareha can easily sculpt water into the ice for this blade utilizing water and should a strike pass through water can even use that to increase the range. Though striking through water is a fairly unreliable circumstance. By stopping her flow of chakra to a certain point on the blade she can also break off that piece of ice, utilizing it as shrapnel and even boasting the capability of launching chunks of ice at a target. [b]Special Skills:[/b] The seal is activated in the same fashion as Omoide. Channeling the chakra into the seal will activate it creating a flash. Any whom see the flash will see the actions of Kareha half a second delayed. This does mean that Kareha must close her eyes while using this technique, which is a tell in and of itself and a tactical opening. -------- [b]Summon Contracts:[/b] Whale [b]Size:[/b] Very Large [b]Unique Traits:[/b] They float above land when there is no water to swim in. [b]Personal Summons[/b] Narwhal [b]Name:[/b] Tōketsu Kaiyō 凍結海洋 [b]Ability:[/b] [url= http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Ice_Release:_One_Horned_White_Whale] Hyōton: Ikkaku Hakugei[/url] Toktetsu coats himself in a protective layer of ice increasing his size to 40m before performing this technique. [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Water_Release:_Exploding_Water_Colliding_Wave] Suiton: Bakusui Shōha[/url] As Toketsu’s size is so large he is incredibly difficult to summon and may be interrupted. The summoning process, including the biting of the thumb takes Kareha at least three full seconds of uninterrupted casting time. [b]Size:[/b] 20m long [b]Personality:[/b] Tōketsu is a regal warrior of the whales. He refers to Kareha as Madame and bears a very refined voice. He has a massive amount of Chakra but is only capable of two techniques and unfortunately, cannot learn the Chakra transfer technique. Much to Kareha’s chagrin. He is constantly apologetic. 【Hiden Jutsu】 [b]Name of Hiden Jutsu:[/b] Hyōton [b]Clan:[/b] Yuki [b]Description:[/b] Ice Release Kekkei Genkai 【[u]Canon Jutsu[/u]】 [url= http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Hiding_in_Mist_Technique]Kirigakure no Jutsu[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Silent_Killing]Muon Satsujin[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Enclosing_Technique] Fūnyū no Jutsu[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Unsealing_Technique] Kaifū no Jutsu[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Five-Seal_Barrier] Gofū Kekkai [/url] – Cannot use the perfect copies portion of the Jutsu.

[b]Description:[/b] This technique creates the illusion of someone being poisoned upon contact with Kareha’s blade. This technique is essentially used to create anxiety and force the victim to think about a solution when one shouldn’t be necessary. It takes their mind off the fight. This is especially useful against those who have the means to cure poison as it may draw that out. This is however, simply an illusion and they are not poisoned. [b]Weakness:[/b] A fairly basic Genjutsu. All basic Genjutsu weaknesses apply. [b]Name:[/b] Kaifū no Rengoku 地獄廊下 (Unsealing Purgatory) [b]Type:[/b] Defensive, Fuinjutsu [b]Rank:[/b] C [b]Range:[/b] Close [b]Hand Signs:[/b] None [b]Description:[/b] Utilizing the seal on Kareha's umbrella she is able to defend herself from some projectile based Jutsu. There are however, a couple of defining traits to what she is able to stop. She is able to stop only attacks that are purely chakra - like a [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Fireball]Fireball Jutsu[/url] for example. Should the technique fit the criteria, however, the technique will be completely negated and blocked with no harm to Kareha or those behind her. [b]Weakness:[/b] This technique takes a great deal of concentration and perhaps more importantly blocks Kareha's view of her target. As this is currently a C-ranking technique, it may only stop techniques of similar rank or below. [B]Name of Technique:[/B] Seppun no Shi (死のキス’Kiss of Death’). [B]Type of Jutsu:[/B] Genjutsu [B]Rank:[/B] C [B]Range:[/B] Very Close ([i]so close[/i]) [B]Nature Type:[/B] Yin [B]Handseals:[/B] None [B]Description:[/B] By placing the smallest amount of chakra in her lips Kareha can, upon kissing them effectively and without fail place the enemy in a Genjutsu in which for them it will feel like their heart has stopped and they will be unable to breathe. In reality they will be placed in a deep sleep until [s]true love’s kiss[/s] an hour passes. The kiss must last an entire second. [b]Weakness:[/b] If kissing your opponent is really an option for you, you need more help than the Weakness section can offer. [b]Name of Technique:[/b] Seppun no Jinsei (人生のキス 'Kiss of Life') [b]Type of Jutsu:[/b] Genjutsu [b]Rank:[/b] D [b]Range:[/b] Very Close [b]Nature Type:[/b] N/A [b]Handseals:[/b] N/A [b]Description:[/b] Much like Seppun no Shi, Kareha will kiss her victim and when this kiss occurs they will immediately feel a rush of dopamine and powerful Genjutsu will overcome them. One that causes them to essentially fall in love with Kareha. It isn't permanent, but it is strong while it lasts. Enough to cause anyone to wish nothing but greatness upon her and immediately divulge any information she wishes to hear. The kiss must last an entire second. [b]Weakness:[/b] I mean seriously. Just stab a bitch. [b]Name:[/b] Hyōton: Fukyū Hiya普及冷 (Ice Release: Spreading Cold) [b]Type:[/b] Ninjutsu / Supplementary [b]Rank:[/b] D [b]Range:[/b] Contact Required [B]Nature Type:[/B] Hyōton [b]Hand Signs:[/b] N/A [b]Description:[/b] By tapping her foot on or poking a body of water, Kareha can turn up to a 40m radius area of water into Ice. This will be one foot thick and she can determine the size of the radius as long as it does not exceed 40m. As water can naturally form into Ice this Jutsu is not incredibly taxing. [b]Weakness:[/b] I mean there isn’t much to discuss this technique turns ice into water. The weakness is she’s doing this instead of fighting you. Think on it. [b]Name:[/b] Hyōton: Hikami Hashiru氷上で走る(Ice Release: Running on Ice) [b]Type:[/b] Ninjutsu / Supplementary [b]Rank:[/b] D [b]Range:[/b] Personal [B]Nature Type:[/B] Hyōton [b]Hand Signs:[/b] N/A [b]Description:[/b] Using this technique, Kareha is able to walk on ice as if it was hard dirt. She will not slip on the ground and is completely stable. This can give her an advantage over her opponents. [b]Weakness:[/b] Does walking on water have a weakness? It’s supplementary man I don’t know. It uses chakra. [b]Name:[/b] Hyōton: Shintō浸透 (Ice Release: Infiltration) [b]Type:[/b] Ninjutsu [b]Rank:[/b] C [b]Range:[/b] 15m [B]Nature Type:[/B] Hyoton [b]Hand Signs:[/b] Three: Horse -> Dog -> Tiger + x for bigger spears of ice. [b]Description:[/b] After performing the handseals Kareha is able to manipulate already existing ice to form a spear towards an opponent, impaling them. The size of the spear is directly indicative to the amount of Chakra used and additional handseals performed. A three handseal is three feet of ice. Each additional handseal adds a single foot onto the reach of this technique. It should be noted that upon starting the handseals Kareha has to pick a place to extend the ice into a spear, not after their completion. [b]Weakness:[/b] Not standing near ice completely negates the effectiveness of this technique. However should you find yourself near ice and your ice-based opponent preparing handseals, I dunno, maybe rethink some things. Or move. [B]Name of Technique:[/B] Hyōton: Tōshō 凍傷 (Ice Release: Cold Death) [B]Type of Jutsu:[/B] Ninjutsu [B]Rank:[/B] B [B]Range:[/B] Personal [B]Nature Type:[/B] Hyoton [B]Handseals:[/B] 2: Ox -> Snake [B]Description:[/B] This Jutsu is only effectively used when an opponent has been impaled by ice. After they have Kareha can cause the ice lodged inside them to super cool. While this is not immediately lethal it does slow an opponent down significantly and if it happens multiple times or they cannot retrieve the ice from their body/raise their temperature they are under the threat of dying from hypothermia. The reason a target may slow is due to the vessels in their extremities getting narrower to preserve heat in the body. Effectively, this is akin to poisoning a target as they will experience symptoms not too dissimilar. Of course, heat-based techniques can help with a rapidly cooling body. [b]Weakness:[/b] You have to be hit by another technique for this technique to start its work. Work backwards from there. [b]Name of Technique:[/b] Fubukigakure no Jutsu 吹雪隠れ (Hiding in a Snow Storm) [b]Type of Jutsu:[/b] Ninjutsu [b]Rank:[/b] C [b]Range:[/b] 100m [b]Nature Type:[/b] Hyoton [b]Handseals:[/b] 4: Monkey -> Horse -> Tiger -> Snake [b]Description:[/b] Combining Kirigakure no Jutsu with Hyōton chakra molding, Kareha is able to summon forth a mid-scale snow storm which will cover approximately 100m in a massive amount of snowfall. It should be noted that it is still possible to see during this technique, it simply obscures some eyesight. This does cause the temperature to drop within this radius to cold enough for a snow storm, approximately [b]Weakness:[/b] Retreat or a Fire technique of the same rank would mostly negate this technique. [b]Name of Technique:[/b] Hyōton: Reiketsuna 冷血な (Ice Release: Cold blooded) [b]Type of Jutsu:[/b] Supplementary/Kekkei Genkai [b]Rank:[/b] D [b]Range:[/b] Personal [b]Nature Type:[/b] Hyoton [b]Handseals:[/b] Passive [b]Description:[/b] Kareha’s blood is some of the purest a Yuki can offer. As such she can deal with [i]extremely[/i] cold temperatures, however, she is incredibly susceptible to fire-based techniques. As such she uses a fair amount of defensive water techniques along with generally avoiding fire-users. This does mean, however, that she can survive taking a swim in arctic waters. [b]Weakness:[/b] I mean it is really pretty spelled out, frankly. [/hider][/center][/hider][/center] [@Syn], [@Reflection]
