[indent][indent][indent][color=#FFA812]The shortest and scrawniest boy in his family, he has a chip on his shoulder and something to prove. He's quick-tempered, especially when people underestimate him or compare him to his brother, and he's prone to lashing out. He is also known to call himself the "Dragon of the Leaf" and challenge people to fights over perceived slights. He hates the idea of not being able to beat someone who he thinks he's smarter than and struggles with feelings of physical inadequacy. That said, he isn't lazy and his stubbornness and spite is often surprising to people who would like to count him out. He loves his puppy more than almost anything else in the world and he's just about the only person that can cool his anger except his younger brother. He rarely admits that he's wrong and can be a little explosive when confronted. He is profoundly irritated with being ordered to do grunt work or things he considers brainless and will complain about it. Altogether, he has difficulty expressing his feelings, if he's not angry. He has a softer side, but his outside is all prickly. If he wasn't so sure that showing vulnerability would just confirm the worst things he believes about himself, he may venture to reveal himself to anyone but his puppy. He's naturally very curious, inquisitive, and investigatory and his lack of trust in people makes him great at finding out ways people are lying. He loses a lot of his challenges.[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent]

[indent][indent][indent][color=#FFA812]Nijira was born premature and even among small babies, he was smaller. His survival was miraculous and even years later, his father would say that he was lucky to have been born. His mother believed instead that he had fought for life, a view that impressed itself on young Nijira. For most of his early childhood, he spent his days playing with his older brother, happily following him around and trying to do just what the big boys were doing. He never could quite. All those games were rough and with Jira's small size, he just couldn't keep up. He'd inevitably end up hurt, but he was just as enamored with his older brother as everyone else.

It was hard not to be. Ichi was so effortlessly strong and playful, always smiling, always excited with life. Even as Jira fell and hurt himself running after Ichi, his brother's smiling face and strong outstretched hand lifting him back to his feet and cleaning him up gave him the confidence to keep going. Ichi didn't dwell on things long and it was hard to around him. He just kept moving and so too did Jira. And for a while, that was fine.

Things changed when his little brother Sanji was born. Now [i]Jira[/i] was the older brother... but he found himself ill-suited to it. He didn't have his older brother's effortless way about him and despite being two years younger than him, by the time Jira had started at the academy, Sanji was already taller than him and he was often mistaken as the youngest brother! He didn't understand it... Why did he have to be so small and useless? He'd always thought he was just small because he was younger but there had to be something wrong with him. He was their brother, right? But his brothers were born big and grew tall quickly. His older brother was always so healthy and strong, always achieving with ease... and his younger brother was so effortlessly beloved. He was so kind that even though he was shy, he had so many friends... Jira had none of it. 

Was it really just luck? Fate? He learned to detest the idea. It was capricious, unreliable, ridiculous. Why should he feel lucky for having to fight for what was just given to so many others? His perfect brother was more than lucky. If it was luck, then luck meant nothing. Jira didn't want luck, he'd decided. He didn't need it. He'd make his own. He had to.

And the academy did little to help. He was quickly singled out for his short stature and, worse, some even knew his older brother. It very quickly became obvious to him that he didn't compare to Ichi in any way except one... he consistently had higher grades than him. Ichi was very quick to congratulate him on his accomplishments but the older he got, the more Jira felt that he was just patronizing him. And the comparisons to his brainless older brother became more and more constant as he failed to live up to his... height. Jira was different! He was Jira! 

After several fights in school (all of which he lost), his parents finally stepped in and gave him his own puppy that he was allowed to name himself. He was at first going to name him Mochi, because he was round and pudgy, but then settled on Komainutatsuo, which he thought was a much more intimidating name. Komi, as he nicknamed him, quickly became his one and only true friend, the only person he trusted... Together, they made up the gulf between him and Ichi. Maybe together, they could surpass him too. He kept his grades up, but now he was more confident in field tests too and it showed. Not that it mattered. Ichi had graduated just as well with near failing grades as Jira did with near perfect ones. Jira never managed to do better in field tests and the one thing that Jira outclassed Ichi in didn't really matter in the end.

[indent][indent][indent][color=#FFA812]-Combination Transformation- This is an advanced version of the Transformation Technique, where two or more users combine into one form in order to gain that form's physical abilities.

-Four Legs Technique- One of the "Imitation Beast Ninja Arts", this technique allows the user to move in the same way as an animal. By surrounding their body with chakra and moving about on all fours, the user's speed and accuracy are significantly enhanced, which in turn makes their attacks more damaging. He uses this to supplement his already quick speed and allows him to utilize claws, which he prefers, as he isn't very large.

-Passing Fang- The user moves at a target at high speeds and delivers a body slam. Because of how quickly they move, the user travels in a fairly straight line, necessitating that they anticipate the target's movements in order to ensure a successful strike. As they move at the target, the user spins rapidly in order to pierce targets, drilling even through stone.

-Beast Human Clone- An "Imitation Human Ninja Art", this technique transforms a ninken into their Inuzuka partner. By doing this, the Inuzuka gains a copy of themselves that serves the same practical purpose as a shadow clone but without a shadow clone's steep chakra requirement.

-Beast Tearing Palm- A powerful technique of wind nature chakra that can cut and slash through most material. Jira activates it by summoning chakra in his claws, and then swipes a slicing chakra wave.

-Feral Barrage- A series of speedy and aggressive slashing attacks made with Jira's claws whilst he moves at the opponent. While no individual hit may be special exactly, the strength of the technique is that the forward momentum, slashes, and speed are actually used evasively and to crowd the opponent, making it very difficult to counter from the front or from behind. It is vulnerable to surprise attacks from the side, but once Jira has closed the distance, getting to the side of him is extremely perilous. Can be used on midair opponents, though it loses some of its agility. Requires the use of Four Legs Technique.

-Moon Crescent Kick- Meant to be used as a countering kick in which Jira either somersaults forward or backwards, either kicking the opponent into the air or into the ground. Sometimes used as an interrupt to the Feral Barrage, but more often used when an opponent manages to back him up.

[indent][indent][indent][color=#FFA812]Komainutatsuo- His Ninken. A strong fighting dog originally gifted to him to protect him from bullying, he's a very loyal and friendly dog with Jira's best interests at heart. He is Red/orange and cream with with a black nose and resembles an American bulldog or pitbull puppy. He is very light-hearted until someone threatens Jira, in which case, he has only one objective... and that is to protect his brother! He is quite strong for his size and relative young age and he takes to training well, always looking to wrestle or pull one towards something he finds interesting... which is a lot of things. He has most of the same jutsu as Jira except Beast Tearing Palm. He also has Dynamic Marking, which allows him to pee on a target to be able to more easily track it.

-Soldier Pills- special pills that nourish the body and can replenish one's chakra. It is made up of powerful stimulants and nutrients that are near-instantly absorbed into the in-taker's body, and said to allow the user to keep fighting for three days and three nights without rest. At the end of the three days effect, the user is brought to the point of complete and utter exhaustion. When fed to Komi, Komi grows a small gold-colored mane and his fur turns deep red and gold and he behaves far more feral and has greater power.

[indent][indent][indent][color=#FFA812]Primarily a speed fighter, Jira prefers to evade and strike than compete in contests of strength. He's quick thinking and relies on that quick thinking rather than fore-planning to get him through whatever situation he finds himself in. That said, he is quick to adjust his strategy and builds on it as he gets more information. This doesn't prevent him from jumping into situations without information, however, and sometimes, if he is prodded into it, he can fly into a rage. When he's winning he can gloat or taunt his opponent, sometimes to his determent.[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent]
