In addition to her considerable height of 5'8" (as girls mature faster than boys [color=red][b]still the weaker sex tho :^)[/b][/color]), her severe brows, slightly askew nose and thin lips contribute to an ambiguously masculine appearance she is happy to leave be. It is near impossible to tell, by sight or sound, that she is a kunoichi, as she appears no different from any other adolescent boy in her graduating class.

Once upon a time, her surname and the thunderbird crest stitched into her clothes would have carried prestige in the village. As late as the end of the Union Era, Shinjō ninja had a reputation for its incredible capacity to do violence in the form of their secret taijutsu, taught only in the compound's dōjō and to those of the bloodline. But, as work dried up in this era of peace and its aftermath, especially for those would make their name on the front-lines, more children were encouraged into civilian pursuits. Even some graduates of the Academy traded in their offensive capabilities to specialise as medic-nin. Little by little, the clan's population dwindled due to hardship and marrying outside of the village, while its taijutsu arts were lost with each jōnin dead or deserted. By the time Tsubasa was born, generations later, there was only three families and one shinobi, who all squabbled over inheritances and feuds between cousins until they could barely stand to speak to each other. Tsubasa was born to the last shinobi of her family, Shinjō Tatsuko, who had only been taught the clan's most basic techniques and used them to great success as a hunter-nin [color=red][b]in Ame?[/b][/color], despite gaps in said knowledge. Of the kunoichi's three children, Tsubasa was the eldest by eight years. They lived with family members while their mother was on missions, given that their father, whose identity was and still is unknown, resided somewhere outwith the village. Some suspected he was a missing-nin that somehow charmed his way out of chains, but Tatsuko assured her children that none of it was true, and it was all just lies crafted by bitter cousins who failed out of the Academy. Soon, Tsubasa was old enough to enroll to follow her own destiny, encouraged by her mother. When Tatsuko was not out on missions or in the hospital for wounds, exhaustion, or any number of self-inflicted injuries as a result of the clan techniques, she began to teach her daughter what little had been passed down. All that was left of Shinjō's taijutsu were crumbs after the birds had picked away at the bounty. First Tsubasa was taught the theory, then, when she was old enough to treat the matter with the serious attitude it deserved, she [i]would[/i] have been introduced to the techniques themselves. Unfortunately, at the beginning of these lessons, her mother was sent out on a long-term mission, and would not return in time to finish them. Tsubasa was also left her in charge of her two younger siblings when there were no related adults left in the village to watch them for months at a time. Home alone, the ninja-in-training made the monthly stipend stretch as far as she could, learning financial management at a young age. Often she had to pay out of pocket for expenses her mother hadn't foreseen, like her siblings civilian schooling, or new clothes and toys. Though perhaps unethical for an eleven year old to be working part-time jobs to stay afloat, it was deemed acceptable. As it turned out, the children who would soon defend the village were expected to be more adult than their civilian peers.[color=red][b] i mean yeah we're sending them out to go kill other kids, so that makes sense[/b][/color] It is easy to say that if she had more free-time to study and practice, Tsubasa [i]could[/i] have captured a top spot in her graduating class, but even under perfect circumstances it would have been unlikely. Every spare hour was dedicated not to history or calligraphy lessons or, heavens forbid, the kunoichi classes that she almost flunked, but rather the alluring prospect of chasing down her dream. Following old leads, Tsubasa asked estranged, elderly family members, some former combatants retired and senile, if they had anything more to share on clan jutsu, as they had trained her absentee mother. These lessons were fruitful in that, by graduation, she had the bare-bones of the techniques ready to go, and lives in hope that she might perfect them in the field.

She never wavers from it. From deciding she wanted to become a ninja at a young age to her dream of restoring the clan's techniques, Tsubasa is not wishy-washy when it comes to her goals.[/i][/indent][color=red]✗[/color] [b]Motherly[/b][indent][i]Tsubasa had to take care of her younger siblings at the expense of her social life during her time at The Academy, and struggles to find the right things to say to make people like her. Nevertheless, her tendency to martyr herself performing tasks and errands for others that she was not asked to do seems innate.[/i][/indent][color=green]✓[/color] [b]Eager[/b][indent][i]Becoming a ninja in service to Amegakure has been an important goal for Tsubasa for most of her life. It is no surprise that she's excited about it, and perhaps a little too invested in having a good relationship with her team. [color=red][b]given the social butterfly that is your red friend, that'll probably work out. right?[/b][/color][/i][/indent][color=red]✗[/color] [b]Serious[/b][indent][i]She doesn't really understand the idea of 'hobbies' and treats everything she is tasked with as a do-or-die situation. Hell, she probably gets enjoyment from filing for financial aid and laboring through a history tome penned by ridiculously verbose author. [color=red][b]she should be an accountant shinobi[/b][/color][/i][/indent][color=green]✓[/color] [b]Adrenaline Junkie[/b][indent][i]Tsubasa is at her best – mentally – in a close fight, when all the little worries like 'Did I leave the fridge open?' are put aside. Getting beat up (or beating someone up) is her idea of fun, and always has been throughout the Academy's taijutsu lessons. [color=red][b]until she dies[/b][/color][/i][/indent][color=red]✗[/color] [b]Obsessive[/b][indent][i]Tsubasa wants nothing more than to recreate her family's jutsu and pursues it doggedly, with every spare thought.[/i][/indent][/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Hopes and Dreams:[/b][indent][color=gray]x[/color] Rediscovering and/or recreating the lost jutsu of the Shinjō Clan.

[color=red][b]hmmmmmmmmmmmm[/b][/color][/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Motivations:[/b][indent]A forgotten heritage, and the pipe-dream that is restoring it. Tsubasa is motivated by the chip in her shoulder of coming from a 'civilian' family –– even if she thinks that it is not wholly true, the rest of Amegakure would disagree. The only way to prove it, in her mind, is to develop the Shinjō techniques lost over a century ago once more; to stay faithful to clan-specific jutsu, the memory of which is passed down exclusively in oral tradition. Tsubasa is a realist: scrolls that once contained this information have been scattered to the wind, sold on to collectors as curiosities, or worse, to shinobi of other villages. Still, she believes that if she earns enough coin and builds up a reputation, she might one day have access to something that distinctly sets her apart from other average ninja of civilian heritage.[/indent] [center][color=black] ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— [h3][b]Military[/b][/h3] —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————[/color][/center] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Kekkei Genkai:[/b][indent]N/A [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]S-rank Techniques[/b][indent]N/A[/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]A-rank Techniques[/b][indent]N/A[/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]B-rank Techniques[/b][indent]N/A[/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]C-rank Techniques[/b][indent] [img]https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/naruto/images/a/ab/Nature_Icon_Water.svg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/18?[/img] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Water_Prison_Technique]Water Prison Technique[/url] [color=red][b]yeah but not three at a time -- think more at the level of a genin, which would be pretty mediocre for a C rank probably[/b][/color] [img]https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/naruto/images/a/ab/Nature_Icon_Water.svg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/18?cb=20091012165923[/img] Flash Flood: Downpour[/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]D-rank Techniques[/b][indent][img]https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/naruto/images/a/ab/Nature_Icon_Water.svg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/18?[/img] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Water_Release:_Hiding_in_Rain_Technique]Water Release: Hiding in Rain[/url] [color=red][b]nice[/b][/color] [img]https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/naruto/images/a/ab/Nature_Icon_Water.svg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/18?cb=20091012165923[/img] Water Trap Technique [img]https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/naruto/images/a/ab/Nature_Icon_Water.svg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/18?cb=20091012165923[/img] Flash Flood: Levee Break[/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]E-rank Techniques[/b][indent][sup][sub]N/A[/sub][/sup] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Cloak_of_Invisibility_Technique]Cloak of Invisibility[/url] [sup][sub]N/A[/sub][/sup] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Body_Replacement_Technique]Body Replacement Technique[/url] [sup][sub]N/A[/sub][/sup] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Transformation_Technique]Transformation Technique[/url] [sup][sub]N/A[/sub][/sup] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Clone_Technique]Clone Technique[/url][/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Custom Jutsu:[/b][indent][img]https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/naruto/images/a/ab/Nature_Icon_Water.svg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/18?cb=20091012165923[/img] [color=#ffc300]Water Trap Technique[/color] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Rank:[/b][indent]D[/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Range:[/b][indent]Short/Moderate[/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Description:[/b][indent]Using this technique creates a shallow puddle within 1m of the caster, which will persist even when the user moves further away. When an opponent steps in this puddle, the user can activate the jutsu, forming the 'trap'. It is strong enough (at a genin level) to hold a foot or leg in place for up to thirty seconds.[/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Weaknesses:[/b][indent]Length that the trap can hold an opponent is limited by the difference in power: it might be effective against another average genin or chuunin, but anyone stronger than that would see it as a momentary annoyance. It relies on the user's timing, as springing the trap is not automatic. Also, it takes the shape of a puddle –– thankfully in Amegakure, there's a lot of those, but in places with drier weather, or against more observant shinobi, it is less than useful. [color=red][b]could just talk your opponent into thinking it's a sunagakure (tm) oasis[/b][/color][/indent][/indent] [indent][img]https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/naruto/images/a/ab/Nature_Icon_Water.svg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/18?cb=20091012165923[/img] [color=#ffc300]Flash Flood: Downpour[/color] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Rank:[/b][indent]C[/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Range:[/b][indent]Short[/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Description:[/b][indent]The Shinjo Clan's [i]Flash Flood[/i] style requires a user to maintain complete relaxation in combat and remain poised to defend all blows that would come for the centerline of the body, while subtly guiding the opponent's defense into a familiar pattern of blocks and parries that can be overwhelmed by a single blow. The user's chakra forms a thin outer layer on the arms to reduce damage taken while on the defensive.[/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Weaknesses:[/b][indent]The style is, of course, short-ranged, so keeping a moderate distance from the user would be effective. Genjutsu and elemental techniques would be unaffected by [i]Flash Flood[/i] at this level. It is draining and cannot be used for long stretches of combat [color=red][b]more a limitation -- less a weakness[/b][/color]. Additionally, it relies on the user's speed to keep up with the opponent's attacks and fake-outs, so someone more experienced would have a much easier time triumphing over it. [color=red][b]relying on experience or so to create a weakness isn't really a weakness. yeah this technique wouldn't do shit vs. madara, but you're not fighting madara -- you're fighting probably other genin, chunin and jonin. so if someone uses another close range style, how would the response be? what if chakra disruption is used? etc.[/b][/color][/indent][/indent] [indent] [img]https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/naruto/images/a/ab/Nature_Icon_Water.svg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/18?cb=20091012165923[/img] [color=#ffc300]Flash Flood: Levee Break[/color] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Rank:[/b][indent]D (Incomplete)[/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Range:[/b][indent]Short[/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Description:[/b][indent]This is the [i]Flash Flood[/i] style's overwhelming blow, which when used in tandem with the previous technique breaks through the opponent's defense for moderate damage. The addition of chakra adds sudden force to the blow as it connects. While Tsubasa has learned how to use it, there is something missing from her execution of the technique, given that she has heard it can pulverise an earth wall and turn a training dummy to splinters.[/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Weaknesses:[/b][indent]Short-ranged, cannot be used from a distance and any physical barrier would be effective. It's literally just a 'special punch' because Tsubasa isn't very good at it yet. Like other techniques, it is also incredibly draining for a genin – can be used once per fight, at most. [color=red][b]also limitation, not weakness. if I break her arm she can't use this technique right? what if I block it with my arm? what happens? etc. [/b][/color][/indent][/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Equipment & Weaponry[/b][indent] Basic kit of kunai, shuriken, exploding tags, etc. Has a sizable length of wire strings for trap-making purposes. No special weapons (for now, or probably ever). [/indent] [/indent] [/hider] [color=red][b]Overall accepted but your weaknesses to your custom jutsu need more thought put into them other than 'these techniques are pretty hard, and someone more experienced obviously will do better against them'.
