[/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Wardrobe:[/b][indent]Takashi is always seen wearing the scarf her elder sister made for her, and is the one constant in all of her outfits. She wears the scarf regardless of weather (not that there’s much variation in Amegakure) as it can be hung very loosely or wrapped very tightly depending on her desires. She ordinarily wears a yukata made of her clan’s silk, though is often seen in a full kimono for more formal occasions. She owns many different colours and patterns of kimono, preferring to match the pattern and colour to the day and mood. Takashi finds women’s kimono particularly infuriating due to the added complexity and the fact that it requires significant effort to put on herself—and will usually stick to men’s kimono for their relative simplicity.[/indent][/indent] [center][color=black] ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— [h3][b]Biography[/b][/h3] —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————[/color][/center] [indent][color=gray]▸[/color] [b]History:[/b][indent] Yuganori Takashi was born to Yuganori Kaori, her mother, and Yuganori Yuuto, her father, ten years after the birth of her older sister Kinuko. Her birth was largely unremarkable, though the inklings of future greatness were prophesied from the quickly growing praise and acclaim that her older sister was achieving even at the young age of ten. Her early childhood was equally as unremarkable--though steadily increasing in expectation thanks to her sister's prominence, and she learned the weaving techniques of the clan from her mother as soon as she was able to hold a needle with any form of dexterity. Kaori was an exceptionally kind and patient soul, even above what was expected of the Yuganori clan's women, and under her tutelage Takashi quickly blossomed into a competent weaver if nothing else. Takashi spent little time with Yuuto, who practiced the more advanced techniques with the other Elders, but was still cherished and loved by her father when he had the time to spare for her. As she reached the age where it was expected for her to become a shinobi if she had the correct aptitude, Takashi flourished. She was a curious and gentle child, though prone to bursts of passionate intensity, and was above average in all aspects of her early classes. The dexterity and strength that she had learned to harness throughout her early childhood assisting with the Yuganori's weaving efforts served her well, and she demonstrated a superiority among her peers similar to that of her sister--which prompted her sister to begin training her. Beginning her life as a ninja changed much for Takashi: while before she had only the gentle encouragement of her mother and the simple pleasure of weaving, she was now expected to be [i]much[/i] more than that. She was expected to represent the Yuganori, and as an Elder of the clan it was Yuuto's job to ensure that she did so. Yuuto instructed her in the finer aspects of what it meant to be one of the nobility and to represent the clan, and while before he had seemed a dutiful and loving father his image quickly shifted to that of taskmaster. The more time that Takashi spent with him, the more she came to understand the nature of the clan she had been born into. Profit was everything, and how that profit was acquired was of no consequence--her success as a ninja stood to be profitable for the clan, so she was to excel at it in order to bring them as much profit as possible. Whereas once she was her father's beloved child, Takashi quickly became a commodity to be bargained with--an asset to be used and exploited. She was taught that she, like the silk they wove, was something to be sold in service of the clan. She would be sold to another family, to marry into wealth and connections and produce suitable heirs, and she would do so quietly and obediently. The harshness of her father's lessons was tempered primarily by the stringent but fair guidance of Kinuko, who Takashi begun to notice was very different from every other member of her clan. Kinuko was mindful of the present and considerate of the future. She worried for the spiritual health of the Yuganori, combing through their archives and attempting to unlock the secrets of their precious silken scrolls--and passed that knowledge on to her sister. Takashi had always been taught to be obedient and respectful, and desired very much to please her father, but she grew extremely attached to Kinuko's lessons about spiritualism and interconnectedness. By all accounts, Takashi grew to be a model student--respectful, obedient, and hungry to learn everything she could--but the twin fires of Kinuko and Yuuto's vastly different expectations of her burned brightly in her mind. As time went on she became more and more conflicted, trying to emulate the cool logic and rationality that her sister posited was the legacy of the Yuganori clan according to their ancient scrolls but constantly finding herself a slave to her ambition and passion to further her clan's cause. Some fundamental part of her accepted that she was only an asset to bring wealth to her father and her extended family, and another part of her railed against this unfair fate in search of the truth of her clan's legacy, attempting to embrace the principles of shared skill and conscientiousness that she somehow knew was correct. When Takashi was ten, and Kinuko twenty, things came to a head. Kinuko had blossomed into an extraordinary talent, but she would not serve the cruel and corrupt Elders of the clan, publically denouncing them and their ways. She claimed that the sacred relics of the clan, their silken scrolls and the sword Hanashi, were unworthy of them--the clan had forgotten the old ways of harmony and mindfulness, and she would not quietly serve as a housewife and a commodity to be traded away as the Elders saw fit. In response, the Elders made a motion to sell their sacred relics to the highest bidder--hoping to cow Kinuko and simultaneously profit from the notoriety generated by the entire debacle. Outraged, Kinuko stole the relics away in the dead of night and permanently fled Amegakure to safeguard the sale of her clan's millennia-old history and culture. Before she absconded, Kinuko left the scarf Omoiyari for Takashi as a reminder of their time together and to hopefully impart the same desire in her sister to reclaim their legacy. Without the guidance of Kinuko, Takashi was lost. She could not unlock the secrets of the scarf, only able to read the initial message woven into it, and the harshness of her lessons from Yuuto increased significantly, his rage at Kinuko directed at the closest approximation he could find - Takashi. Kinuko's boldness inspired Takashi, and she silently resolved to follow in her sister's footsteps. In order to walk the same path as her sister, she would be required to excel in the arts of the Shinobi in order to achieve the mastery over their Kekkei Genkai necessary to unlock the secrets of Omoiyari. Takashi graduated as a Genin amongst the top of her class, fiercely motivated both to uphold the name and reputation of the Yuganori clan and to begin the process of deciphering Omoiyari.[/indent] [center][hider=Yuganori Ichizoku] The Yuganori clan is one of the few remaining that legitimately claims an unbroken lineage from the days of the Sage of the Six Paths, having persevered historically by means of their vast wealth and political connections, and later by their nomadic lifestyle in times of war. Though their unbroken lineage is a point of prestige and pride amongst the clan, it is the only truly deserved point of pride that the clan can now boast. At its founding, the Yuganori clan was simply a coalition of tradesmen and craftsmen that were aggrandized by virtue of their collective efforts and expertise. Before the advent of chakra the power that governed the people was nobility, and in order to retain that power the aristocracy were required to make the masses believe that they were simply inferior. Of all of the ways to accomplish this goal, the favoured was always through finery--and the quality of the goods that the newly formed Yuganori clan were exceptional without peer. The coalition quickly found itself a market with the favour of the nobility, and its clansmen found strength in unity that they had never known as individuals. The favour of the high and mighty is wont to corrupt the staunchest of hearts, but the earliest Yuganori were so devoted to the simple passion of their craft that any attempts to buy an individual member were rebuffed soundly. The now-clansmen formed strong bonds with one another, and within a few short years their budding mercantile empire was well on its way to becoming an intrinsic part of the nobility that they held the favour of. A decade later, their exploits were such that they had all but taken over the textiles industry and all of its various applications within both the noble and common worlds. The current heads of the clan posit that had their expansion continued at the pace it was, they would have been one of the most powerful forces to be reckoned with in a matter of a century at the very most. Ultimately, their expansion was cut short by the actions of the Ōtsutsuki clan and the introduction of chakra to the world. While little changed immediately--save for Kaguya's presence as undisputed ruler of the known world--fate conspired to bring her gifts to everyone through the actions of her sons. The Sage's infusion of chakra into the people and his teachings of Ninshū resonated with the Yuganori, who eagerly embraced the concept and connected to one another to better share their individual skills and anticipate one another's needs without the need for vocalisation. Unfortunately, the age of Ninshū was not to last as Indra converted it to Ninjutsu and the people begun to weaponise the great tool of peace that they had been given. The Yuganori did not follow in the footsteps of their fellows for a significant period of time, focusing instead on connection with one another and a state of mindfulness and balance, but eventually succumbed to the increasing need for martial ability given the sheer power that ninjutsu could afford a single individual, and especially a coalition of like-minded individuals such as themselves. Ultimately, their late adoption of ninjutsu rendered them unable to contest the other more adjusted clans as the Sengoku Jidai began. The Yuganori were in the difficult position of not having enough martial strength to contend with the other clans, but simultaneously not having enough in the way of funds to by and large become part of one of the warring countries. In order to keep themselves together and with some of the comforts that they had gotten used to, the Yuganori crafted great caravans with which to travel the world, avoiding as much of the bloodshed as possible and continuing to hone their crafting skills. It did not take too long before the first Yuganori with Oriton was born, and were the world in a less violent state or the Yuganori in a more static state, they would have reached the same heights of success as before Kaguya's reign began. The Yuganori's mindful and conscientious nature proved advantageous with their new kekkei genkai and their nomadic lifestyle--though they were not mercenaries as many of the other clans were, they were capable enough of defending themselves (and more importantly, their wares) in times of especial crisis. Rather than focus on the elements of war, the Yuganori worked to provide a semblance of the finery they had provided in the past, helping to raise the morale of the countries and of the other clans. While there was no such thing as an armistice within the Jigoku Sendai, many clans elected not to attack the Yuganori unless they were in direct competition with their goals (which they almost never were) if only due to the fact that sources of morale and happiness were so few and far between that depriving themselves of some semblance of luxury for no immediate gain was immensely counterintuitive. As the period neared its close, the constant years of war and significantly fewer opportunities for profit had begun the process of degrading the once wealthy and conscientious clan into a group of profit-obsessed misanthropes. They began to increase the cost of their wares more and more, incensing the people they had once made allies of, and finding themselves disallowed from settling in any of the countries to clan's persistent refusal to take their contracts and represent their interests as the more mercenary clans had. Their nomadic existence continued until the founding of the hidden villages as the Sengoku Jidai finally ended, and the only of the newly formed villages that were willing to allow the Yuganori a permanent place was Amegakure. Though grateful to once more have a place to call home, the Yuganori had turned away from their roots--and the nature of life in Amegakure only encouraged them down the path of disillusionment and corruption. Within a single generation they were already hardly recognisable as the friendly nomadic crafters they had once been, and though the quality of their goods did not suffer practically every other aspect about them had. Thanks to their marked lack of casualties, there were a great deal of Yuganori shinobi to begin with who had no reason to continue their lifestyle. They did what they could within the bounds of Amegakure, but quickly found that they really only needed to maintain a token force of those trained in the ninja arts. When the reality of how much it had cost them to build themselves a permanent base of operations in a newly formed hidden village that owed them no goodwill from their past, the Yuganori worked excessively on restoring themselves to their former glory. The elders of the clan at the time saw that as a time of extreme profit, of luxury and wealth and power, without realising that the truly remarkable success of their clan had come primarily from their interconnectedness and their adherence to the principles and teachings of the Rikudo Sennin and his successor--not just from their impressive textile work. Falling in line with the malcontent Amegakure at its mistreatment at the hands of the greater countries and hidden villages, as well as holding their own grudges against the nations who had denied them a home, the Yuganori began sacrificing the remainder of their remaining principles to maintain their illusion of superiority and grandeur. Even the considerable wealth that they had amassed in the past dwindled, and though they fared significantly better than the majority of the population of Amegakure to begin with, by the present day they have decayed and stagnated to the point of near-irrelevance amongst the most powerful families within Amegakure.[/hider][/center] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Personality:[/b] [indent][color=green]✓[/color] [b]Rational[/b][indent][i]Inspired by her sister, Takashi attempts to view the world with a cold and unfeeling logic that gives her an insight into it, as well as an insight into how things are connected.

She pursues her desires with a dogged persistence and tenacity, forcing herself to repeat things until she understands them, succeeds at them, and internalises them regardless of the effort that they require or the amount of times that she fails. She accepts failure as a part of learning, and is constantly trying to better herself.[/i][/indent][color=red]✗[/color] [b]Vocally Principled[/b][indent][i]Takashi’s belief in her principles is unwavering. She staunchly refuses to go against them for anyone, for any reason, and occasionally gets into trouble with her family for her stubbornness when total obedience is expected of her—but as maximising her usefulness to the clan is part of her principles, she is often only treated with scorn and resentment instead of actual punishment. Takashi often espouses her principles of mindfulness, interconnectedness, and harmony at anyone who will listen (typically in a less than mindful and harmonious way) with little consideration for their own thoughts and feelings.[/i][/indent][color=green]✓[/color] [b]Informed[/b][indent][i]Takashi’s constant state of mindfulness has left her very conscious of the fact that there are two sides to everything. She seeks an understanding of these aspects before she forms an opinion on them and acts, and while she tries to do this independently (and usually succeeds), she is still prone to bias when something directly implicated her deeply held principles.[/i][/indent][color=red]✗[/color] [b]Glosses over Details[/b][indent][i]While she is typically well-informed in a sweeping sense, Takashi is quite prone to glossing over smaller details and nuances that more well-adjusted individuals pick up. She is very keen when it comes to interactions between large entities, such as clans, but often blindly applies her knowledge of the whole onto its constituent parts, typically ending up with her knowing plenty about a subject but failing to apply it in a relevant and meaningful way.[/i][/indent][/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Dreams and hopes:[/b][indent][color=gray]x[/color] To return the Yuganori clan to its roots of mindfulness, interconnectedness, and harmony.

In order to facilitate this unique type of chakra physiologically, its users to have sets of silk glands within their body at key locations, such as the wrists and ankles. The silk glands are infused heavily with the Oriton chakra, and are able to create a vast number of materials and thread them together - in advanced cases, this can be used to mix multiple types of materials together to create a single weave, which contains the properties of all materials used. The primary use of this ability is to create silk which is heavily infused with chakra--as a result, it is of significantly higher quality than ordinary silk and can be engineered to exhibit any number of specific properties intrinsic to ordinary silk in varying degrees, as well as bosting exceptional tensile strength and resistance to wear and damage. Oriton chakra boasts the ability to bind the elemental natures of chakra together, provided that the elements are not in opposition to one another (i.e., they do not have a particular strength or weakness) and bind that infusion of elements to a physical material. Most typically this is silk created by the user, but in particularly advanced users elemental traits can be bound to objects such as ninja tools. Additionally, Oriton chakra is capable of chemically binding objects together like a glue--this can be used in the construction of tools, or can be used in combat to chemically attach the produced silk to the skin or clothing of enemies, making it extremely difficult to remove effectively. [/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Strengths:[/b][indent]Oriton is capable of producing a malleable and useful material for both combat purposes and mercantile purposes, and excels in techniques that bind and control the movement of opponents. If infused with elemental chakra, Oriton is also capable of producing unconventional weapons that are, while unorthodox, effective in the hands of a skilled user.[/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Weaknesses:[/b][indent]While Oriton produces silk more resistant to ordinary fire than normal silk, Katon techniques are effective against the produced silk (unless it is infused with Suiton or Katon chakra). Furthermore, the silk glands are a particular weak point and damaging them sufficiently will remove the ability to produce any new silk.[/indent][/indent][/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]S-rank Techniques[/b][indent][/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]A-rank Techniques[/b][indent][/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]B-rank Techniques[/b][indent][/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]C-rank Techniques[/b][indent] [img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/naruto/images/7/7a/Nature_Icon_Wind.svg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/18?cb=20091012163149[/img] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Sickle_Weasel_Technique]Kamaitachi no Jutsu[/url] [img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/naruto/images/7/7a/Nature_Icon_Wind.svg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/18?cb=20091012163149[/img] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Wind_Release:_Great_Breakthrough]Fūton: Daitoppa[/url] [/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]D-rank Techniques[/b][indent][/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]E-rank Techniques[/b][indent]All Academy Level Techniques[/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Custom Jutsu:[/b] [color=gray]▸[/color] [color=#6495ed][b]Oriton: Seikatsu Shokki [Living Loom][/b][/color][indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Rank:[/b][indent]D[/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Range:[/b][indent]N/A[/indent] [color=gray]▸[/color] [b]Description:[/b][indent]This technique is the basis of the Yuganori clan’s techniques.

Takashi is skilled enough in its use to infuse her own silk with any chakra natures that she has available to her, which is currently Fūton.

Takashi is then able to individually draw the strands into the extant orb, pulling things towards it.

The scarf stretches to approximately 25 feet in length, enough to give Takashi around ten feet of usable material on both her left and right sides. The scarf is woven of Yuganori clan silk and as a result is infused with an enormous amount of chakra - and is additionally infused with a moderate amount of fūton chakra in the strands around the inch closest to each edge of the scarf. By utilising their silk glands and their Oriton chakra, Takashi is able of manipulating the movements of the scarf to a fine degree. This allows Takashi to freely manoeuvre the scarf almost as if it were a flexible blade, though it is constrained by its length. The silk was woven to be extremely strong, resisting even fūton-enhanced weapons that would attempt to slash through the fibres--though piercing the material is significantly easier (but still extremely difficult for weapons that are not enhanced with chakra). Due to its tensile strength, the scarf is very well suited for binding individuals, and the application of additional Oriton chakra can cause the silk to bind with an opponent's clothing or skin given time.
