[indent]Though one might not be able to tell at first glance, Inori is the presumed heir to the Yamanaka Clan. Once a shy and obedient kid, puberty appears to have transformed her into a rebel without a cause. With little regard for family or even shinobi traditions, going as far as dying her own hair a different color and using colored contact lenses to match, the girl struggles to leave the shadow of her clan and become someone unique, someone who is not defined by blood or secret techniques. Her attitude has caused those within the Yamanaka Clan to worry about their future. The current head can only hope that her behavior is temporary, or else he'll have to make the necessary changes to assure that his leadership is passed down to a 'worthy' individual. Regardless, the girl does not seem to care, nor does she show interest in whoever may claim the position. When asked why she intends to become a ninja in spite of it all, Inori confesses that [i]'it's probably the only thing she's good at'[/i] and that it'll be [i]'the easiest and fastest way to leave home'[/i], adding that [i]'if she proves herself to be capable enough, she'll earn good money'[/i].

Following her own sense of fashion [and life], she is not known to quickly cast away others in prejudice. Things like race, physical shape, clan and overall background are not obstacles in forming a bond with her, however, she puts great emphasis in actions and decisiveness during first impressions. She's no stranger to street fighting, so sometimes things simply do not work out. She is not afraid to join a group of outcasts, and has found the Akimichi and Nara clan to be compelling partners to spend the time with. For one, quietly eating and slacking off can be quite enjoyable provided the timing is right.

When the situation calls for it, Inori displays traits of a realist -and sometimes those of a pessimist-, often being overwhelmed by such thoughts in the middle of combat. She's not someone who finds violence exciting, but someone who dominates it like blacksmiths do with their hammer. This may make her appear to be more mature than she looks, but in truth, she's just another desperate soul in need of guidance. Because she is at odds with her family, she seeks answers elsewhere, and industry has found a way into her heart in the way of music. Most of her allowance has been spent in a CD-player and a set of headphones.[/indent]
[sub][color=FFA500][b]Personal History[/b][/color][/sub]
[indent]Inori´s fist years were no different than those of most. Having been born in a period of peace, she was never exposed to loss and strife, and was able to spend most of her time with her family. At the age of four, however, she was selected as a candidate for a particular investigation that required the mandatory aid of children from the Yamanaka Clan to take off. Seeing as Inori had no brothers nor sisters, and that in the future she would have to become the house head, her parents were naturally against it. However, once they witnessed the results of the experiment in other children, they nodded in approval without a second thought. From that age, every day at evening, Inori´s training regime would begin to include hypnotic sessions. The goal was to create a 'controlled' second personality or 'second mind' that would be able to learn and perform tasks regardless of the user's real motivation, affinity or mental state. For a long time, Inori remained oblivious to the existence of this second aspect of herself and had virtually no recollection of what kind of exercises she underwent during hypnosis. On the other hand, her parents were fully aware, and they were able to witness how their daughter, who disliked kenjutsu and refused to practice it, was no capable to hold her own in combat against someone at least twice her age while in trance.

By the time Inori was enlisted in the academy, she had already learnt about her alter ego. She accepted it and used it mostly like a tool when the need arose. She was proud to be able to study to become a ninja and she was quite excited, as well. So much so, that one day she decided to spend the entire day tracking a group of Genin as they carried out missions through the village. She felt... Betrayed. From pulling out weeds to walking dogs or bringing pets back home, their labors weren't anything close to what she had been told. Unwilling to accept reality, she repeated the process another day, this time with a shinobi of higher rank, a Chunin. She was glad to see that his tasks carried plenty of responsibility. Delivering messages and watching the gate might look tame in comparison to other kind of tasks, but they were really important. They had a meaning and required ninja talent to be carried out in the best manner possible. Sadly, at certain point the Chunin simply decided to put off his duties and slack off while supposedly on duty. This was because there was no sense of urgency and everyone had become accustomed to the villages being at peace. Inori learned that it wasn't just him, a lot of officers did exactly the same thing, even if they had different forms to display it.

The only ones who were different were those who stood out. Their looks and attitude, it was simply alien in comparison. However, you could tell with just a glance that they actually cared about their job. From this point onward, Inori began to see a pattern. Looking generic meant you were part of a collective whose boring destiny had already been carved in stone. This was especially true within her clan. A lot of members looked the same, learned  the same techniques and, in doing so, sacrificed their identity. So Inori did what she had to do and it all began with a drastic change in appearance. Because she wasn't willing to part with her beautiful name, she instead changed her hair color. Every family head had had blonde hair, so this made her immediately stand out. She began swimming against the current, and before anyone could tell, she had gone from sweet and obedient to 'problematic child'. Skipping class, becoming involved in fights, they became usual news for the Yamanaka.

Eventually, swayed by music and the mentality of the new world, her faith for Shinobi decayed and together with it, her drive to become someone truly special. Since it was likely that, even if she put all she had into it, she would end up just like all those 'slackers' nonetheless -And even if she did manage to become special, as things were, her talents would not be needed-, as breaking fate did not simply entail a change in appearance, she figured she might as well stop trying and join the flock. Nowadays, her rebellious nature remains present in her entire being, however, her look on things is now much more realistic/pessimistic.

[sub][color=FFA500][b]Character Development & Conceptualization[/b][/color][/sub]
[indent]With a mindset unlike her peers, Inori has seemingly lost her faith not just in the ways of old but in what the future departs, and with it the passion that comes with becoming a 'true' ninja. Having decided to live life in a selfish way just so she can be at ease, watch her struggle as reality continues to prove, time after time, that being a shinobi isn't as easy as she initially thought. Will she succumb under the pressure of hardship and loss, choosing to escape, abandoning the life of a ninja just to continue moving forward? Or will she be able to recall, to re-ignite the embers of a dying flame that some people call [i]'The Will of Fire'[/i]?[/indent][/color][h3]Attributes[/h3][hr][color=878787][sub][color=FFA500][b]Character Focus & Skillset[/b][/color][/sub]

[indent][color=white][b]Street Fighter:[/b][/color] A lot of Inori's fighting experience comes from unarmed fights where no rules are involved. Granted, these were normally small skirmishes between her and other problematic group of peers her age, resulting in the incidents having little consequence. That said, since she was more often than not the one being outnumbered, she has learned how to anticipate and deal with coordinated attacks executed from different directions, how to properly use the environment in secluded spaces to her advantage and has developed certain resistance that allows her to recover faster from attacks that would normally leave one dazed for a good second or two. Naturally, this has come at the cost of Inori being the one at the losing end for quite some time.   

[color=white][b]Combat-Knife Expertise:[/b][/color] Despite seemingly being a natural fist fighter, Inori excelled in Kunai duels during Traditional Shinobi Sparring at the Academy, especially in the ones that involve dual-wielding, managing to emerge on top of her class. Being no genius, however, the spotlight was taken away from her in most other disciplines. Proud of her achievement, though, she has continued to train the art and even purchased her own personal knife weapon, which she can wield as well, if not better, as the regular kunai.   

[color=white][b]Hit and Run Specialist:[/b][/color] Inori might not be the fastest one around, but she is one of the few who has learned how to take advantage of her small stature. In battle, she prefers to sacrifice offensive potential if it means coming out from an exchange unscratched. Rather than someone who aims battles in a single act, Inori likes to play the long game and exhaust opponents, weakening them little by little through 'chip damage'. Through feints, slides and carefully planned jumps, Inori constantly moves around the battlefield, leaving and resuming combat at a fast pace. Naturally, she's at her best against taller foes on closed locations like the inside of a building. In the open, she often needs to resort to the use of traps or outside support.

[hider=Mind Division Technique: Alter Ego]
[b]Mind Division Technique: Alter Ego[/b]
[b]Rank:[/b] C
[b]Description:[/b] A new Jutsu in experimental stages developed by the Yamanaka Clan with the aid of Konoha's Scientific Team for investigation purposes. Though weaker in complexity in comparison to the Mind-Body Switch Technique, the time required to 'nurture' it makes children more suitable for testing than adults. In essence, once one has learned how to artificially develop a 'second personality', the next stage is being able to willingly be able to swap between them. This makes the Mind Division Technique: Alter Ego the required 'switch' to awaken the 'second personality' as well as the safeguard that 'allows one to go back'. Since the Yamanaka possess the knowledge required to mold and separate a 'second personality' to their liking, there is little risk of the mind becoming unestable as a result. Indeed, this 'second personality' is often raised to feel no pain or emotion and focus entirely on a single task. In a sense, it's currently more of a strange form of self-suggestion than anything else. In Inori's case, the chosen focus for her 'second personality' has been 'Swordsmanship'. [u]When this state of mind is awakened, her skills with the sword raise significantly for a short period of time, usually no more than three minutes[/u]. However, once the time is up, she displays no recollection of what happened during that time. Though the 'body' can learn, the mind 'seals away' the acquired experience in order to protect mental integrity, leaving skills trained by one's 'alter ego' as exclusive to their personality and vice-versa. This was the technique's original goal, to be able to master a greater number of skills by dividing the effort between two personalities. As it is still in experimental stages, it will take at least a few years for it to yield reliable results.

[hider=Mind Division Technique: Accel]
[b]Mind Division Technique: Accel[/b]
[b]Rank:[/b] D
[b]Description:[/b]  A hidden Jutsu that allows the members of the Yamanaka Clan to effectively separate their current 'awareness' into two or more and then redirect each part's focus to a specific process. As a result, the one's thought process become faster and more accurate, akin to a calculator. So long as the user's senses can properly 'perceive' phenomena and their bodies can 'keep up', anticipating the immediate future becomes a trivial matter. However, speeding one's thoughts in this way can cause an effect similar to 'overheating' if used for too long. Usually the greater the number of mind-partitions the Yamanaka creates, the greater the risk. At her current age, [u]Inori can only create accelerate her thought process through a single additional partition for about a half an hour before she is assaulted by a sharp headache and has to stop. When is use, her awareness becomes such that it becomes hard to surprise or distract her, and although prediction of the immediate future is impossible, the success of actions that involve throwing or intercepting projectiles is greatly increased. It also provides a bonus in close-quarter combat where being able to 'read one's opponent' is vital, but a more experienced fighter can easily cancel it, due to differences in skill.[/u]
