[center][sup][sup][h3]⌈APPEARANCE⌋[/h3][/sup][/sup][color=gray]170 cm [color=darkorange]•[/color] 55 kg[/color][/center][indent][indent][indent][color=gray]Suzuki is not easy to lose in a crowd, with her tall frame and a head of thick, curly hair loosely bound by a white ribbon. Her almond eyes burn with a bright blue intensity as many of her clansmen do, and freckles mark the whole of her nimble body. Suzuki is known to wear a stoic expression most of the time, which makes the volume and energy in her voice all the more shocking.[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent]

[center][sup][sup][h3]⌈CLOTHING⌋[/h3][/sup][/sup][color=gray]Style in simplicity [color=darkorange]•[/color] Orange + Brown[/color][/center][indent][indent][indent][color=gray]During missions Suzuki dresses in a dark orange knee length [i]kimono[/i] bound by a black [i]obi[/i], with thin chainmail mesh and simple brown leggings underneath. Her civilian clothes are similar to her shinobi robes, consisting of a longer [i]kimono[/i] and a floral patterned [i]obi[/i]. When Suzuki is helping around the Kusa Shrine, she wears a white [i]kosode[/i] robe and bright orange [i]hakama[/i] trousers. She wears a striped brown [i]yukata[/i] to bed.[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent]

[center][sup][sup][h3]⌈SUPPLY⌋[/h3][/sup][/sup][/center][indent][indent][indent][color=gray]Suzuki keeps a tattered [i]omamori[/i] with floral patterns on her person, a gift given by her sister to provide protection against evil in all its physical and spiritual forms. Suzuki also has a small string of wooden prayer beads with her at all times, and can be seen holding them when she feels particularly distressed. In terms of ninja equipment she keeps a set of paper tags reminiscent of [i]ofuda[/i] talismans, which are inscribed with fūinjutsu formulas that are used for different supplementary purposes.[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent]

As intimidating as her fiercely polite and blunt tone of voice seems, Suzuki is a very caring and earnest girl who only has good intentions for those she cares for, however critical she comes across. Her passion is fuelled by her dedication to the village and the ones she holds dear, and she strives to help and protect the vulnerable when she can. As the heiress to the Shishido clan, Suzuki hopes that the passion she puts into her work will inspire and encourage others to improve for the betterment of themselves and the village.[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent]

Though her love and loyalty for the village is absolute, adversaries outside of the village have none of her sympathy. An enemy of Kusagakure is an enemy of Suzuki; she has no space in her heart for anyone who threatens her home and its people. Sometimes her temper sways and her ruthless hatred for these outsiders seeps out, which the higher ups in the Shishido clan, considering their reputation, are concerned by. But these concerns do not fall upon deaf ears; Suzuki is aware of what they're saying about her, and sometimes it hurts to know that some of the Shishido are doubtful of her. It hurts to know that she will never surpass her sister's prestige, or that she'll fail to meet her clan's expectations. While Suzuki has managed to keep these insecurities locked away for quite some time, the cracks in her esteem have become more visible in recent years. Should the wrong person catch sight of these cracks, taking advantage of her loyalty becomes a much easier task. But for now, Suzuki will hold her head high in the face of adversity and fight for what she believes in.[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent]

[center][sup][sup][h3]⌈NINDŌ⌋[/h3][/sup][/sup][color=darkorange]Destroy all evil.[/color][/center][indent][indent][indent][color=gray]Since the death of her sister, Suzuki's loyalty and protectiveness for the village has intensified. She has very little sympathy for her opponents, and her nindo reflects her determination to annihilate all that pose a threat to her precious home. Any enemy to her home is evil, and all evil must be destroyed.[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent]

[center][sup][sup][h3]⌈MOTIVATIONS⌋[/h3][/sup][/sup][color=darkorange]Loyalty[/color][/center][indent][indent][indent][color=gray]To fight for Kusagakure and protect the people is the greatest honour for Suzuki. Decades ago the village took her clan in during their time of need, and now the Shishido and the village need each other more than ever after recent events. It is here where Suzuki was born, raised, educated and trained, and it is the welfare of Kusagakure that motivates Suzuki to train her herself to the extremes. Even if it costs her an arm or a leg she will do anything for the sake of the village and her clan, and god forbid anyone dares to stop her from doing so.[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent]

[center][sup][sup][h3]⌈NARRATIVE⌋[/h3][/sup][/sup][/center][indent][indent][indent][color=gray]Suzuki’s life has been one of turbulent changes. As her mother’s second child she was prohibited from inheriting the clan leader position in her lifetime, and though her relatives showed her much love it was clear that her older sister was of higher priority to them. While her sister Kotoko was able to make time for Suzuki between her exhausting studies and training sessions, her mother was not so fortunate. It was her aunt, Shishido Tsuri, who filled the absence her mother left and gave her the attention she craved instead, which even makes itself obvious to this day. But this was more than enough for Suzuki to keep on going, because as long as she had the affection of her beloved sister, she was happy. The young Kotoko’s ambition, grace and intellect impressed the Shishido clansmen and even more so for Suzuki, who admired Kotoko the most. However, even from a young age Suzuki saw in Kotoko everything she wasn’t; she was a lot clumsier and hot-headed, and reflected none of the sophistication Kotoko had at her age. Yet Suzuki turned a blind eye to these faults. What did she matter in the grand scheme of things, when she could never have her family's recognition anyway?

The Second Shinobi War changed everything for Suzuki. The first few years were suitably chaotic but manageable, and Kotoko insisted on fighting for the village upon graduation despite resistance from her mother. Suzuki, who had been raised to see these kinds of actions as the greatest honour, was nothing but ecstatic for her sister’s decision. From then Suzuki sought to improve herself so that she could one day catch up to her sister and join her on the battlefield. But this day never came, as the last year of the war ripped Kotoko’s life away, and with it Suzuki’s hope. Even her grandmother and beloved aunt sustained permanent injuries, as did the whole Shishido clan after losing a quarter of their already limited members. The look in Suzuki’s eyes were never the same after that.

Suzuki’s mother now had another tonne of responsibilities on her back after being made the new Shishido clan head. This included pushing Kotoko’s training regimens onto Suzuki, who was now the legitimate heiress to the clan. While Suzuki was determined to strengthen herself, the stress was clearly starting to change her. And though she thought the newfound time with her mother would close the rift between them, Sen’s trauma and stress made her more hostile towards Suzuki as she rushed to get her to Kotoko’s level. Yet as she sought her aunt for comfort, Suzuki didn’t despise her mother for her actions; she knew that everyone’s pain and suffering was a result of the war, and from her devastation a burning hatred for anyone the village called an enemy rose. Suzuki vowed to do anything for the prosperity of the village and her people, and swore that she would see the evil doers beyond the village gates perish.

Recently things have started to improve amongst Suzuki and the Shishido. She is helping to rebuild the clan after it suffered heavily from the war, and the tensions between her and her mother are starting to ease as she continues to mature. Years of intensive training has whipped Suzuki into shape, and her growing strength is starting to gain recognition amongst the high ranking Shishido clansmen. However, whispers of her ‘contentious’ outlook on things have started to worry some of these clansmen, and questions of the rationale behind her inheritance have been raised. But as a member of the Kuge class Suzuki recognises the importance of being the upcoming face of the Shishido, and she is determined to strengthen herself to uphold the clan’s honour.[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent]

[center][sup][sup][h3]⌈PRIMARY⌋[/h3][/sup][/sup][color=darkorange]Genjutsu[/color][/center][indent][indent][indent][color=gray]Unlike most of her peers, Suzuki's fighting style is mainly defensive. The Shishido are genjutsu specialists, and she is no exception. Her clan uses sound, specifically the ringing from bells, to cast their techniques. Due to her excellent chakra control, Suzuki has learned how to amplify the sound of her bells to widen her casting range. Although her chakra reserves rank below average, her subtle and extremely convincing illusions make up for it.[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent]

[center][sup][sup][h3]⌈SECONDARY⌋[/h3][/sup][/sup][color=darkorange]Fūinjutsu[/color][/center][indent][indent][indent][color=gray]
With her knowledge of sealing and enclosing techniques, Suzuki's fūinjutsu style has both offensive and supplementary purposes; she keeps her [i]kagura suzu[/i] and bow and arrows sealed into small paper tags for easy storage and access, and keeps a number of tags containing small amounts of her chakra to replenish her own or other’s reserves. Her combat related tags have fire sealed inside of them, which upon activation releases flames upon a target.[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent]

[center][sup][sup][h3]⌈TERTIARY⌋[/h3][/sup][/sup][color=darkorange]Barrier ninjutsu[/color][/center][indent][indent][indent][color=gray]In relation to her less physical combat style, Suzuki often makes use of barrier ninjutsu techniques. Her range for these sorts of techniques aren't as wide as her genjutsu, and she only uses barriers to protect herself and her peers rather than to trap opponents. Her barriers aren’t too durable either, only able to withstand a few attacks.[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent]

The twelve bells on the instrument are made from a unique metal that can be infused with chakra, and allows the sound of the bells to be amplified and extend a technique’s range. But if one is able to block out the ringing of Suzuki’s bells, the most integral part of Suzuki’s fighting style falls apart. Take away or destroy the bells and she has nothing much to fight with.

These tags share a similar appearance to [i]ofuda[/i] talismans, and are used to store different objects inside, of which Suzuki carries twenty in total. Suzuki’s two ‘storing tags’ have her bells and bow and arrows sealed separately to allow for easy storage and access during missions. Her eight ‘replenishing tags’ each contain 1/8th of her chakra reserves, and can be used when her or her peers’ chakra runs low, while her five ‘draining tags’ can be used to slowly drain a similar amount of the opponent’s chakra. Suzuki’s remaining ‘burning tags’ have man made fire sealed inside before missions, which ignite into a small flame upon the object it is placed on. Suzuki’s combat-based tags require stealth and speed to place on her targets, since they are easily removable and doing so will negate their effects.[color=2e2c2c]-[/color]

While Suzuki rarely uses her bow it is a requirement as a Shishido ninja to know how to use and carry one with her. The bow is reminiscent of a [i]daikyū[/i], which due to its size makes it totally ineffective in close quarters.[/color][/cell][/row][/table][/indent][/indent]

The target’s surroundings rapidly become engulfed in flames, which encourages them to escape far away from the area. This illusion is useful for distracting enemies, but can only work in areas where flammable objects are present (e.g forests, fields, urban settlements) to remain believable. Like most genjutsu the illusion can be cancelled by disrupting one’s chakra flow or having pain inflicted on them. As this technique is sound based, blocking out the ringing of Suzuki’s bells can prevent the technique from working at all. The vividness, duration and amount of people affected by the illusion is dependent on Suzuki’s chakra control and chakra reserves.

By ringing her bells Suzuki produces a loud sound that causes a temporary strain on her target's brain. Depending on the strength of her genjutsu the target may experience a false sense of nausea or dizziness.

The target sees large streams of fire hurtling towards them. They feel a painful burning sensation when a part of their body is hit by one of the streams, and if they are unable to disrupt the illusion on time, the ‘burns’ they sustain begin to spread all over their body until their whole skin is burned away.

If her targets are defiant, she orders her summon to attack them. Sometimes she will use her illusion to viciously ‘attack’ or ‘chase’ the target straight away.

[center][b][color=black]SPECIALITY[/color][/b][/center]
[indent][indent][indent][color=gray]The Shishido clan have some of the best genjutsu specialists within the village, due to their less physical approach to combat and inherent proficiency for chakra control. Many Shishido ninja go on to specialise in medical ninjutsu as well, which is something the clan is particularly proud of. They are also known to use barrier ninjutsu in order to reduce as many casualties on the field, but during missions where the killing of their enemies is necessary, Shishido ninja are trained to use a bow and arrow to ensure death from a distance.

Although ninjutsu is very rarely used, many Shishido ninja have an affinity for the fire element.

[center][b][color=black]LEGACY[/color][/b][/center]
[indent][indent][indent][color=gray]Since their settlement in the village the Shishido have always kept the welfare of the people as a high priority, offering medical services and charity where needed. Amongst their acquaintances in the kuge class the Shishido are respected for their genjutsu and medical expertise, but amongst their adversaries they are scoffed for their much softer and manipulative approach to fighting. Their influence on Kusagakure is undeniable, however; they established the first local hospital where the sick can be housed, and a few years following their arrival they rebuilt the village shrine after it had been left in ruins after the Warring States Period. Though their clan has been cut by half from the two shinobi wars, when the people are in need of aid, they can trust the Shishido to act fast.[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent]

[center][b][color=black]VALUES[/color][/b][/center]
[indent][indent][indent][color=gray]Due to their occupations as carers and supporters the Shishido greatly value kindness, fortitude and the strength of the mind and heart. But above all else they value loyalty, whether it is to their clan or to their village. The Shishido remain ever grateful to Kusagakure for taking them into their walls decades ago, and since then they have gone above and beyond to do what they can to protect the village and its civilians. But even when faced with foreign enemies, the Shishido remain steadfast and respectful to display their honour. However, there are some whose loyalties to the Shishido and Kusa have fallen out of balance; if it's for the welfare of the village, disregarding a few clan values doesn't seem so regrettable.[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent]

[center][b][color=black]TRADITIONS[/color][/b][/center]
[indent][indent][indent][color=gray][color=darkorange]»[/color] Not all Shishido become ninja, with a majority of clansmen actually going on to become medical professionals or caretakers of the village shrine. However, it is required of all members to have basic medical knowledge, as well as a year’s worth of experience working at the shrine over the course of one’s lifetime.

[color=darkorange]»[/color] Within the Shishido’s main family, only the eldest daughter of the clan head may inherit the position when their mother steps down or dies. Although most of the powerful positions in the clan are held by women, it is not unheard of to have men among these ranks too.

[color=darkorange]»[/color] After a Shishido clansmen dies, the body is cremated and a bonfire is held at the village shrine in their respect. A [i]kagura[/i] dance is performed by shrine maidens around the fire, which allegedly helps them safely pass on to the other world. The ceremony is open only to members of the Shishido clan, even if friends of the deceased outside the clan wish to attend.

[color=darkorange]»[/color] In honour of the clan’s founder Isuzu, the Shishido throw a large yearly celebration at the village shrine on her birthday. In the evening two selected shrine maidens wear lion masks as they perform a [i]shishi kagura[/i] dance, which is believed to protect people from evil spirits and ill omens. Although it was originally intended for only clansmen to view, the celebration has since been open for all to attend.

[color=darkorange]»[/color] All the women from the main bloodline use kanji from different instruments in their given names.[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent]

[center][b][color=black]HEIRLOOMS[/color][/b][/center]
[indent][indent][indent][color=gray]Every time a new clan head is appointed, the rosary necklace once worn by the clan founder is given to them. The beads are quite large and made of a sturdy wood, and it is widely speculated that the spirit of Shishido Isuzu has kept it from breaking after all these years. However, it has shown a bit of wear in recent years.[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent]

[center][b][color=black]ORGANIZATION[/color][/b][/center]
[indent][indent][indent][color=gray]The Shishido are a matriarchal clan, so only females born from the main bloodline can be legitimate successors. Members of the clan's inner council are referred to as 'bells' or [i]'suzu'[/i]; there are twelve [i]suzu[/i] in total, with the first, second and third [i]suzu[/i] positions saved for the clan head and her two advisors. The other nine positions are for representatives from professions the Shishido have influence over. This includes war councillors, tasked with teaching the ninja arts and clan techniques to shinobi in training; medical councillors, tasked with overseeing medical practices and training in the village hospital; and shrine councillors, tasked with maintaining the village shrine and ceremonies both public and private to the clan. These positions are determined by experience and merit, so much of the Shishido council are senior members of the clan.[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent]

[center][b][color=black]CREATION[/color][/b][/center]
[indent][indent][indent][color=gray]Nearing the end of the Warring States Period when the fighting was at its strongest, a priestess of just nineteen named Shishido Isuzu found herself lost and alone in a forest south of the Land of Fire. Her village, caught in the crossfire of two warring clans, had been trampled into the dirt. The nearby ninja temple, the sworn protector of the village and the place she had once called home, had gone up in flames. Guilt overcame Isuzu, having been the only one to escape in all the confusion despite her pledge to protect her fellow villagers. But she quickly realised that grieving over her mistakes would not change anything; even amidst all the terror and bloodshed, Isuzu swore to herself that she wouldn’t let something like that happen again.

Isuzu was knowledgeable in the ninja arts, and she made it her duty to protect those who couldn’t protect themselves using these skills. As she wandered through the country she healed the weak and fought for the vulnerable, and by the end of the Warring States Period, many flocked to the abandoned shrine she used as a place of healing out of gratitude or out of influence from her kindness and courage. Isuzu’s recognition eventually drew in more enemies that sought to use her talents for their own benefits, but she made sure her people were prepared to fight this time. Her followers were required to have basic medical knowledge, and those that showed potential for controlling chakra had Isuzu’s techniques passed down to them.

Isuzu died a peaceful death surrounded by her followers and her successor, her daughter Koto, formally established the community as the Shishido clan. Although she led the Shishido as well as her mother had, Koto’s time as the clan leader saw much suffering and violence. Skirmishes between remaining enemies became more frequent around their land and soon the Shishido were forced to flee their home, a scene all too familiar to them. Months of travel led them to the recently formed Kusagakure, and in an attempt to end her clan’s struggle Koto offered the Shishido’s medical expertise to the villagers in exchange for settlement within the village. Over time their loyal services to Kusa during and after wartimes have earned the Shishido a high standing amongst fellow shinobi families, and though they have lost many clansmen to war they remain dedicated to their duties on and off the battlefield.[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent]

[center][b][color=black]PRESENTLY[/color][/b][/center]
[indent][indent][indent][color=gray]Five generations of the main Shishido bloodline are currently living under one roof, including the official founder’s granddaughter Shishido Biwa, who has lived into her hundreds. Her eldest daughter Sasara and eldest granddaughter Ichi serve as the clan’s elders, while Biwa’s eldest great granddaughter Sen is the official face of the Shishido. Although the clan claims to be advocates for peace, tensions have started to arise within the Shishido council over the future of their people, and whether ‘bolder’ measures should be taken in order to keep the clan and the village safe. The elder war veterans in the council have seen nothing good come out of the past two wars, and as such want to keep their peaceful ways. Some of the younger council members believe a change in their clan traditions is needed to reduce further losses to the clan, fearing that another war will devastate the clan beyond repair. Sen remains conflicted and is attempting to keep both sides content, but she knows she can’t stay neutral for long. With her youngest daughter Suzuki taking her eldest daughter Kotoko's inheritance after her untimely death, whispers of doubt and opposition keep the both of them awake at night. It is a tense time for the Shishido, and whether they decide to deviate from their traditions or stay true to them is up to upcoming events.[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent]
