She has dark peanut brown hair and chartreuse irises. The thirteen year old girl’s presence can be described as inviting, though sometimes it comes off overbearing due to her energetic personality. Her hair is most commonly drawn into a pair of twin tails strewn together with white bindings. As a member of the iconic Senju Clan, Momo tends to hold more traditional (and conservative) values of clothing, though she prefers not to be the “history exhibit” in the room. One can find Momo wearing the traditional styles mixed with modern sensibilities, though when she’s carrying out her clan’s duties and involved in ceremonies you can bet she’ll be ready to don the traditional garb without hesitation or discomfort. [/indent] [sub][color=897D6B][b]Personality[/b][/color][/sub] [indent]Momo can be characterized as a confident and headstrong young woman who is always ready to give a helping hand. She’s open, honest, and holds an optimistic view of the world despite her growing disdain that many clans are starting to move past tradition and adopt modernist perspectives; a concept that she struggles to accept as she is very proud of the legacy of her ancestors and what they sacrificed. It is due to this that Momo resists adopting “modern” trends wholeheartedly and pushes back at those who take things for granted. That said, Momo does have burdens to bear despite her parents never pressuring her. She’s a member of the main branch of the clan and at thirteen is struggling with controlling her chakra so much that she can barely expel an elemental nature technique. An irony given that only a century prior that such a thing would be seen as an accomplishment. Despite not having any great aspirations or hopes and dreams, Momo does want to be better and she will fight tooth and nail to prove herself to herself. [/indent] [sub][color=897D6B][b]Personal History[/b][/color][/sub] [indent]The youngest daughter of Senju Ohtarama and Kazamatsuri Yoshimi, Momo is one of the few members of her family who have no real experience with the civil war that occurred between the former hokage and his opponents – a situation that only her elder siblings remember in any capacity. Essentially, like the other children of her generation, Momo has lived a life of relative peace and serenity where the idea of war is an idea best left to the history books. Momo's immediate childhood was a simple existence alongside her siblings, trying to understand her place in the world. As a member of the main branch of the Senju Clan, knowing such things would normally be pretty cut-and-dry, but Momo's parents were not the rigid traditionalists of the past nor were they the ambitious modernists of the future; Ohtarama and Yoshimi stood somewhere in the middle, deciding not to burden any of their children with harsh expectations or brutal training. In fact, if any of their daughters decided they didn't even want to be ninja, they would accept that decision with little argument. However, none of Ohtarama's children decided ninjutsu wasn't for them. Momo, took to it rather quickly, though her reasoning was more out of wanting to be [i]valuable[/i]. Between seeing the talents of her closest childhood friend and the passion of her elder siblings in the artform, Momo looked forward with the Konohagakure Academy for Ninshu in mind as her singular motivation. As far as she could figure, it was her responsibility as a Senju to be the best kunoichi she could be. In her earliest days of being trained by her elder sisters and extended family, Momo once found a lone boy in the forest, to which she responded with in flabbergasted confusion. This boy, a member of the Uchiha Clan, would end up being Momo's first friend and in a lot of ways a friendly rival of sorts. The sister that took her into the woods to practice archery, Tamashini, to this day mocks Momo about her little “friend” in an allusion that the relationship between Momo and the Uchiha boy was anything but platonic. Of course, she denies such sentiments even if it embarrasses her every single time she hears it. Teasing aside, Momo would take her friendship with the Uchiha boy very seriously; sometimes to the point of dragging him along into friendly ninja contests in a way to not only learn from her failings but show him that the brutal training he endured from his family was not the only way ninshu could be observed. As they grew older, the contests evolved and their friendship grew. Currently, they are fellow students at the Konohagakure Academy. As a student at the academy, Momo is confident and hard-working. She never half-asses her work and takes everything seriously. She's made more friends since her childhood meeting with her best friend and she values every single person in her life. Though, sometimes she feels she isn't as good enough to be in the same classroom as her peers – her struggles with chakra control is pretty well-documented and observed, and as the oldest ninja-in-training she wonders if she's even going to be considered as being good enough for promotion to genin. This, of course, is all derived from her own personal angst. Momo has become a solid student and shinobi despite not being a “young genius” of any sort. Her shurikenjutsu is above average, she knows how to utilize the water clone technique, and her taijutsu is well beyond being merely competent. But she's not happy with herself. Perhaps she needs to learn to be happy. Only time will tell. [hider=Family Synopsis] The current head of the Senju Clan is Senju Ohtarama, a man of fifty-one years of age. He has two sons and three daughters – Natsurama (23), Tamashini (20), Norirama (20), Sajonara (16), and Hatsumomo (13). He is married to Kazamatsuri Yoshimi. [/hider] [/indent] [sub][color=897D6B][b]Character Development & Conceptualization[/b][/color][/sub] [indent]Senju Hatsumomo is a girl who has never had a single tragedy occur in her life. Her parents are of good health, nobody has died at the edge of a katana or kunai, and she’s treated rather well by her family with no strenuous pressures or expectations placed on her. She’s pretty much a normal girl from Konohagakure after you take away the fact she’s from the oldest and most prestigious clan in the entire village. When you think about the growth there it is pretty easy to tell why Momo is an interesting character for me to play with after playing dozens of variations of overworked overserious kuudere characters. Really, Momo is a blank slate and kind of the antithesis to the stereotypical Naruto character in these types of roleplays. Momo struggles with being a good kunoichi due to her genetics and nobody is telling her she should be great but herself. She’s very self-motivated and will push her friends and comrades in a similar way. I think it’s a fun concept. Her growth beyond that is hard to say. It really depends on the bonds she makes and what specific jonin is guiding her and what challenges await her around the corner. Beyond that, I suppose another facet is that she respects the role of the Hokage and someday hopes to support them or perhaps [i]be[/i] them. Momo is very serious so her interest in doing so makes a good deal of sense. This might make her critical of those who want the same achievement but have the “wrong” temperament. We've gotta wait and see.[/indent][/color][h3]Attributes[/h3][hr][color=878787][sub][color=897D6B][b]Character Focus & Skillset[/b][/color][/sub] [indent][color=white][b]Senju Bloodline:[/b][/color] Momo is the direct descendant of Senju Seigirama and by all appearances has won out on the genetic lottery that Senju descendants can inherit. Momo has known this since the very first time she utilized ninjutsu, though she has always had issues controlling the enormous depths of her potent chakra reserves that flows inside her body. At thirteen years old she is beginning to finally have a better grasp at controlling and managing her chakra, though she has a very long way to go. She cannot walk on water and has trouble “centering” herself when scaling trees and other vertical directions. The complexities of chakra natures are known to her and she can utilize at least one elemental release, but it is done so with great difficulty and strain on her body thus making her one of the least competent students in terms of her spiritual and physical constitution. [color=white][b]Wood Release:[/b][/color] The complexities of Wood Release, even to a Senju is quite challenging to comprehend. As a kekkai genkai it is more versatile than the Byakugan and Sharingan, but ultimately a bit trickier to utilize and develop. Not only does it require a genetic nature of water it also requires comprehension of earth-based chakra as well. For Momo this means she has to further her chakra control, knowledge, and creativity before she can even make something as simple as a bokken. [color=white][b]Kyūjutsu Expertise:[/b][/color] The Senju have been avid marksman for over four centuries and possibly even further back – predating the enlightenment brought upon by the discovery of chakra and development of ninshu as an art. Since Momo could walk she has been physically conditioned to handle a bow and arrow and turned herself into an expert marksman with the weapon. The young kunoichi takes massive pride in that she is a more natural and skillful archer [at her age] than any of her elder siblings; this is not limited to the heir of the clan and her eldest brother, Kazuhama. [color=white][b]Physical Conditioning:[/b][/color] Due to the difficult at controlling her chakra Momo has trained her body physically to be ready for anything. She’s no “living weapon” like the taijutsu masters of old, but she isn’t a girl who will go down from one punch to the stomach either. This in conjunction of what control she does have and her ability with ninja tools and a bow makes her an asset to any team. [color=white][b]Tea Artistry:[/b][/color] The Kazamatsuri Clan has been growing, brewing, and perfecting the art of tea for over six hundred years. Momo's has always enjoyed tea and the making of such and she has been privately tutored by her maternal grandmother in this art since she could comprehend it. In the present it takes a backseat to archery and ninshu, though she still takes the time to cultivate the hobby.
