Should be ready for review. Backstory's a little basic, but I didn't want to come out swinging with something super heavy.

She's very analytical, but because of that she's also very prone to jumping to conclusions based on what she observes and sticking to that until directly proven wrong. Mercifully, she retains an open mind when it comes to training- for the most part- otherwise she'd be impossible to teach. In spite of her flaws however, Kanzaki is a spirited girl who, once she finds a cause, will champion it with everything she has, come hell or high water.[/indent] [color=0054a6]|| QUIRKS ||[/color] [indent]● Will tightly grip the hilt of her sword when nervous ● Is easily distracted outside of combat by exotic or unusual weaponry [/indent] [color=0054a6]|| HOBBIES ||[/color] [indent]● Kendo ● Poetry ● Reading ● Swimming[/indent] [color=0054a6]|| LIKES & DISLIKES ||[/color] [indent]+ Sunsets on a waterfront + Flowers in bloom + Full Moon Nights - Reptiles - Incessant Noises - People that trash talk kenjutsu[/indent] [hr] [center][h3]Backstory Stuff[/h3][/center] [color=0054a6]|| BIOGRAPHY ||[/color] [indent]Kanzaki's childhood isn't an overly remarkable one. She was born to a former ANBU operative who was discharged after losing his arm on a mission and settled down with his sweetheart shortly thereafter. While she was growing up her father would regale her with stories from his ninja missions, or at least the ones he could disclose, and it inspired her to want to become a shinobi herself. More than that, however, she found herself drawn to swords and their use as a matter of course. To facilitate that, her father found a suitable kenjutsu teacher to instruct her in the basic techniques, and she trained under him all while going through the academy. When she graduated, her teacher told her she had learned well, but now the greatest teacher awaited her- the world itself as she searched for her own way in it.[/indent] [color=0054a6]|| RELEASE TYPE ||[/color] [indent]Wind Release At this point she only knows the basic academy techniques, choosing instead to focus on her sword skills. -She's learning (slowly) how to apply the Flying Swallow technique to her sword.
