As a product of bloodline marriage between the Hatake and Inuzuka clans, Mikan has a pointy nose and droopy eye shape, her eye is also colored grey portraying the overlapping genes of the Hatake and Inuzuka; her pure white hair is what stands out the most which seemingly makes her Hatake genome dominant. The clothes that Mikan wear are gray-scale, she is mostly seen sporting a variety clothes that are black or white and sometimes a mixture, in particular she wears fishnets in certain parts of her body. Although it looked like Mikan's Hatake genes are dominant, it isn't because both are balanced, she also have the elongated canine and the Hatake's beauty spot, a mole found in her cheek. C H A R A C T E R I S A T I O N & P R E S T I G E [hr] Mikan is a kindhearted girl with unmeasured energies and despite having such, she remains level headed. She is open minded and slow to anger, and keeps herself down to earth no matter what despite others inflating their ego; as a peacemaker, Mikan prefers words over violence and hates conflict, especially the modernism vs traditionalism topics which is a subject she refrains from, believing that it would lead to more conflict. Ever since the Hyuga Hideki incident, Mikan had been more cautious of her actions, causing her to mature at a young age all the while keeping her jolly personality which is now moderated considering she had been adopted to the main branch of the clan, Mikan grew in humility and shares the burdens of her clan so that she will never tarnish the name of the Hatake and the 10th Hokage, Hatake Futaba ever again. The scarred past she had with the Hyuga Clan still haunts Mikan today even though she had been forgiven, the pain is not forgotten- Mikan tries her best to move on. As a Shinobi, Mikan is a hardworking individual who is held with high regard by the Hatake Clan, having a peculiar skill set and being ranked as the #2 rookie of the year. O R I G I N S T O R Y [hr] The only child of Hatake Ichigo and Inuzuka Kyoko(Yari's aunt), Mikan is scarred forever for losing her parents during the Konoha Civil War, growing up without knowing them and leaving her under the 10th Hokage- Hatake Futaba's custody which turned out to be the better for her. Fortunately, Mikan has lived her life blessed and counts herself lucky since everything that a kid could want is provided by her clan; wealth, education, techniques, and shelter etc. Considering that Mikan is under the tutelage of Futaba who influenced her dearly, she grew up to be a disciplined and kind individual clad in humility whose drive is to inspire people. Mikan's childhood was extremely bad because of her lack of discipline and inflated ego, she is attracted to trouble despite of Futaba's warnings, this causes her to be too overconfident of herself, but this all changed when she met a young Hyuga whose relationship continuously scars her to the present. During those times Mikan would spring into trouble by beating bullies and cause mayhem with the young Hyuga, Hideki who was once the apple of the Hyuga's eye; everyday they would motivate each other to exceed their skills as they were friendly sparring partners. When Hideki got a strict training regime, the amount of time that Mikan spent with him decreased drastically but still they find time for each other. One unexpected bad day, about two months after Hideki had started his Juken training, they ventured far out from the village, into the woods, on their way home, the young Hyuga noticed an old abandoned shack and pointed it out to Mikan and headed inside. All the two saw nothing but decayed furniture and anything that rots. Suddenly the ceiling fell, and had caused the unspeakable, Hideki was injured badly and Mikan wasted no time to get help but she was too late, that day made Mikan realize that life is precious and decided to never again act out on her selfish desires. As years past in the academy Mikan made sure to abide by Futaba's disciplines and help others in need, she grew to be that of a class rep. yet rejected the position many times because it reminds her of the day that she lead Hideki to nearly lose his life. With the graduation growing closer, Mikan makes the effort to train as hard as Hideki now known as Ryusuke, the two continuously train together. C H A R A C T E R D E V E L O P M E N T & C O N C E P T U A L I S A T I O N [hr] Mikan is easily characterized as a 'hyperactive' (not too hyper) person whose energy never seems to decrease, she is full of enthusiasm and her kindness is contagious enough to melt the people's hearts! The Hatake Clan stands as one of the most fearsome and ruthless clans alongside the Uchiha and Shimura Clans in the village, many overlook the young lady's character. She is raised well by her clansmen to ensure that she grows to become not just a fine ninja but a person as a whole. Her kindness stems from her clan's discipline during her childhood and the pain of not having parents. Due to this, Mikan values life and the rules, she makes sure that her judgement are fair at all times. If you think about it, there is always this one person in real life who shows kindness and high amounts of determination because they have experienced enough hardships that broke them in many ways and rarely angst about it, we often thought that they are hard to understand but that's because we are not looking in the bigger picture. Characters like Mikan are good at hiding their emotions, she is one of the antithesis characters that the typical Naruto I created since my mentor Inkarnate just made one and I thought why not make one as well? Another inspiration I had while creating Mikan is Yaoyorozu Momo from My Hero Academia, an intelligent and humble character. Her views regarding traditionalism vs modernism are neutral. Mikan is the type who doesn't care about any of it, and doesn't want to meddle with. I want her to be a character who chooses and sticks with the good path, and while open minded and kind, shows backbone! She is after all a peacemaker and the #2 of his class. Apart from the ninja shenanigans that everybody does Mikan's goal is clear; to teach the people the right way of living with farming and livelihood, to a degree 'How to be a true Shinobi' which in this sense, Mikan has her own definition of ninja. Do #1s and #2s really need to be rivals? I don't think so. After reading a few stories here and there, I am certain that Arata and Mikan won't bicker despite being respectively trained by a Hokage. T A L E N T S [hr] • [i][b]Hatake Intuition/Jack of All Trades:[/b][/i] The Hatake aren't one trick ponies but considering they are on par with the likes of the Uchiha and Senju clans in terms of having the knack for possessing a vast array of specialties. Although they don't entirely master the arts they pick, the Hatake innovate their own style and create their own techniques; making the clan one of the most dangerous in the village. Mikan is very much this, he relies on his intuition and learn on a situational basis and deliver splendid results by adapting- be it ninja or non ninja activities, Mikan like her clansmen never cease to prove their fast cognitive abilities which further emphasizes why she is the #2. Still Mikan has a long way to go despite being trained by the 10th Hokage, she still hones her skills on a daily basis. • [b][i]Hatake Style Techniques:[/i][/b] Famed for their unusual white chakra, the Hatake in the ancient times utilize their blade for agriculture. The one blade style of the Hatake is fabled for cutting air and foreign content that invades their farms. Since then the Hatake has been known for being among Konoha's top 10 clans that utilizes swords, and despite their infamous status of Jack of All Trades, Kenjutsu is where the Hatake's skill lies at. Mikan has yet to master most of her clan's techniques. Here are Mikan's sword forms in order: Basic Set of Hatake Kenjutsu (3 forms in total) • [i][u][b]Form I: Kōkyūgiri[/b][/u][/i] An offensive art that revolves around the speedy footwork and the quick hits of the wielder. Mikan knows how to use the fighting form and its concept but due to her lack of practice and preference of Form II and Form III, her offense is poor. • [i][b]Form II: Kekkaiwaza:[/b][/i] The particular sword art that Mikan excels at. Kekkaiwaza is a defensive fighting form that protects practitioners from disarmament of their swords and guarding against the Kōkyūgiri(offensive arts). The form can be combined with Fuinjutsu which increases its defensive abilities. • [i][b]Form III:: Gyakuryū :[/b][/i] Only second to Mikan's Form II, this sword technique revolves around countering attacks of Form I and any offense based technique. The usage of shape manipulation is evident in this form considering the similarities of the Samurai's style of Kenjutsu. • [u][b]Ninjutsu Expertise[/b][/u] Mikan excels in Ninjutsu and exhibits an advanced level control over her chakra than most academy students of her age which allows her to fuse her wind affinity into her blade. Of all the Hatake arsenal Mikan's a natural in this aspect, her training with Futaba allowed her to strengthen her talent and its effectiveness being most suitable to combat. As a result this pushed her even further and landed on the two principles which are none other than shape and nature. [i][b]Shape Manipulation and Nature Transformation:[/b][/i] Considering that Mikan possess the superb chakra control of her clan, at a young age of 7 she has already infused wind chakra into her clan's signature saber. On the other hand, Mikan can only infuse her wind chakra into her blade and nothing else, as stated by herself that it's extremely difficult to amass and maintain the form. • [i][b]Cosplayer[/b][/i] Outside of farming, the Hatake are masters of disguise due to their masculine(girls) and feminine(boys) features. Mikan's hobby is making her own clothes and poking fun of people with the numerous disguise she have since childhood even fooling her best friend who happens to be a Hyuga, ironic given the eye power. Her preference would be cosplaying famous celebrities, this talent of hers comes in handy, both for leisure and combat.

Once her opponents are open, Mikan strikes with Form I.

This requires the discipline of Form I which is pure footwork. Once the wall of wind is created, a wind barrier is formed and protects Mikan and those near her for a short amount of time from projectile weapons.
