[color=E7DDF6]【[U]Chakra Nature[/U]】[/color] [img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/naruto/images/d/de/Nature_Icon_Yin.svg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/18?cb=20100916093714[/img] Yin Release [color=E7DDF6]【[U]Appearance/Wardrobe[/U]】[/color] Erika is a average sized young woman, standing at about 5'5, maybe 5'6 if you look at her from the right angle. Her skin is a light creamy complexion, though nothing particularly special. She takes after a typical Yamanaka essentially, blonde hair, blue eyes, though hers seem to be a bit more watery. Her hair is often tied into a braided bun of sorts, though her bangs are too much of a mess to try and tame. Her bun is adorned by a red ribbon. Her clothes are what to expected from one in Church of Heiwa. Most practitioners of this faith can generally be seen wearing the same garments. Men generally wear cloaks while the women wear gowns of white satin. Fitter at the top, but becomes much looser and flowy-er as you go down. Sort of dress-like, with a sandy corset around the mid-section that kind of perks up her boobs a bit. The Sunagakure symbol is embroided on the back of the corset, though only kunoichi in the faith are allowed to adorn this variant. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [color=E7DDF6]【[U]Personality[/U]】[/color] Most who encounter Erika would promptly describe her as a zealot or a religious nutcase. Completely faithful and unwavering to the Church of Heiwa, she believes in the nurturing of the mind, body, and soul, and in order to achieve complete peace, all three need to be in perfect alignment. Some people may find her presence rather aggravating, as she is always speaking of her faith, somehow managing to root all her conversations back to it. She is uncompromising about her faith and can come off as a bit preachy to say the least, quoting her religious text every chance that she gets. Yet, it is this unwavering faith that makes her such an optimist. She believes in the better half of the world and looks forward to the day where everyone can find their inner peace. Erika can talk for hours it seems, radiating her energy over others who may not have the same outlook as she does. Even in battle, she understands the cost of war and believes that such occurrences are a necessary aspect of life. Pain, suffering, loss; she believes these are all necessary, each one purposefully weaved together by Heiwa, the God of Peace. Death in particular doesn't seem to phase her. She sees it as an end to ones suffering. A way for them to finally be at peace. She has a way of seeing the positive side of things in the most gloomiest of topics. Strangely, despite all her uplifting religious rhetoric, some claim to see a certain sadness in her eyes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [color=E7DDF6]【[U]History[/U]】[/color] As the name suggest, Erika is a descendant of the Yamanaka Clan who originate from Konohagakure. She was named Chihiro at birth, but would later be given the name Erika once she and her family converted to the Heiwa faith when she was 16. Her family was never particularly well-off. You could call them "poor" according to the standard of living in Sunagakure. Before her family's conversion, her father was a washed out drunk of a shinobi who forgot most of what he had learned and her mother was a sweet woman, but usually she was miserable and lonely due to the bad habits of her father. Erika's older brother, who denounced the faith many years later, was the one who taught her most of the Yamanaka clan techniques. Her father had garnered a bad reputation within the village due to his betrayal of the Kazekage several years before. If it hadn't been for her mother, their entire family might have been banished from the village due to his mistake. Unfortunately, Erika was bullied profusely due to her association with him. Whenever she met someone new, she always lied about her family to avoid further harassment. With her father drinking himself to death, her mother lonely and depressed, and her brother violent and uncontrollably angry, The Church of Heiwa was like a blessing for them. And once the village people saw how much of a drastic change her father had made in the faith, most of the hate towards their family had come to an end. Though she spent much of her time at the church, Erika would become a shinobi in order to spread the faith on her travels. This was the easiest method for her to preach about Heiwa, since traveling on her own accord was not exactly something she could afford. She saw the world as broken, needing to be fixed, one piece at a time. But in a way, her emotional reliance on the Heiwa Faith kind of distorted her perception. She no longer perceived things like she used to. Aspects like death and pain and suffering no longer seemed to effect her like they used to. Destiny had become an omniscient force. When people suffer or endure pain, it is an inevitable part of their journey that has to happen in order for them to better themselves. She would never wish these things on people, but sometimes they have to happen for positive growth to occur. In her mind, our lives are held together by a thin thread of fate. Threads are easier cut than they are spun. Sometimes we need to endure pain or lose those we love. Whatever the outcome, fate has already decided. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [color=E7DDF6]【[U]Special Traits[/U]】[/color] High Chakra Control.

[color=E7DDF6][u]Description:[/u][/color] A religious text of the teachings and scriptures of Heiwa. Not much of a weapon really, but Erika never goes anywhere without it. During her travels, she often keeps it strapped to her back. [color=E7DDF6][u]Appearance:[/u][/color] An old, kind of worn out book. Has a tattered brown exterior with crimped edges. Some of the pages seem a bit wavy from exposure to moisture. On the cover and back of the book is the ancient symbol for Heiwa in large kanji. It's probably time for a replacement, but she can't seem to part from it. A matching red ribbon to the one in her hair hangs from the end of it.

[color=E7DDF6][b]Type of Jutsu:[/b][/color] Ninjutsu. [color=E7DDF6][b]Rank:[/b][/color] B [color=E7DDF6][b]Range:[/b][/color] Area of effect that expands from around her body. [color=E7DDF6][b]Nature Type:[/b][/color] Yin Release. [color=E7DDF6][b]Description:[/b][/color] A technique taught to most shinobi practitioners of the Heiwa faith, this ninjutsu allows the user to harness their chakra in its rawest form. All matters of evil shall be stopped in their tracks. The user can expand their own chakra outward from their body to form a force-field of sorts, generally in the shape of a bubble or dome. It can be small enough to surround just her body, or expanded out large enough to protect multiple people. Through sheer will-power, the user can selectively choose what to keep out and what to let into the barrier, from incoming ninjutsu to other people. People within the barrier can even be protected from genjutsu. However, sufficient trauma or a high-level genjutsu can break or penetrate the shield. [color=E7DDF6][b]Name of Technique:[/b][/color] Mind Matter Disturbance Technique [color=E7DDF6][b]Type of Jutsu:[/b][/color] Ninjutsu. [color=E7DDF6][b]Rank:[/b][/color] A [color=E7DDF6][b]Range:[/b][/color] Short to Long Range. [color=E7DDF6][b]Nature Type:[/b][/color] Yin Release. [color=E7DDF6][b]Description:[/b][/color] An advanced variation of the Yamanaka Mind Body Disturbance technique, this jutsu targets objects instead of living things and is activated and used through hand gestures instead of hand seals. Unlike it's parent technique, this jutsu is much more draining on the user. These hand gestures usually involve pointing at the object before pointing at the location the user wants it to go. If one trains enough, the ninja can decrease how much they have to move their hand until they don't have to move it at all. To utilize this technique, Erika channels her chakra to her mind and kneads it into yin energy. Afterwards, she imagines that there is an invisible link between her mind and the object. As Yin Release revolves around imagination, this intangible and invisible connection is created. Once the connection is created, all she has to do to move the object, is to focus in on the object with her consciousness. Just like Mind Body Disturbance Technique, this does not leave the her in an unconsciousness state as she is merely focusing in on it with her consciousness instead of projecting it.
