[b]Appearance:[/b][indent]Of fairly average height and firm, petite build, Suzuko’s looks are similarly average. In most settings, she wouldn’t particularly stand out on looks alone, so (as if to counter balance that), she keeps to bright reds and yellows in casual environments. Outside, particularly in the rain or on a mission, she has a dark hooded poncho to shroud herself without constricting her any.[/indent][/indent]
[indent][b]History:[/b][indent]One might think the sharp, arid, whipping winds of Sunagakure, and the seemingly endless downpour and humid rancor of Amegakure would feel different. For Tenjin Suzuko, however, they both brought about similar feelings. She had no nostalgia for the sand of her birthplace. Her family migrated from Konoha with some difficulty, Tenjin Teresuke’s expertise with weapons allowing him a place there, on paper. In practice, Sunagakure’s attitudes left them struggling. They had the same money as everyone else, but too often it was ‘no good’. Suzuko grew up an ‘other’, believed to be a compulsive liar, crook, cheat, and degenerate by her peers even before she’d opened her mouth, even though she’d been born there just like them. The brief connections she’d had were by the children who hadn’t known better, quickly pulling away once they found out where her parents were from, or from the occasional adult she’d find in the quieter parts of town, managing a lonely storefront or getting drunk in the day, often being some combination of being too bored, poor, or foreign to shove her away instantly. Perhaps it was Suzu looking for what she wasn’t getting at home: her dad was always away, being too bored, poor, and foreign all at once as he failed to get many contracts, struggling to make ends meet for as long as Suzu could remember.

It didn’t last forever. It couldn’t. Dissatisfied, they left, Teresuke prepared to shamefully return to the home he’s left behind a decade ago, shortly before Suzuko was born. As they left, the sands against her skin only made her think of her loneliness, her heart pounding with anticipation at the idea of what might lay ahead. But a week or so into their travel, Suzu came down with a bad cold. Her parents, worrying for her safety, turned back to the last town they were at, reasoning that it’d be closer, when the vehicle they’d taken themselves and their belongings in lost a wheel. Repairs had taken time, and before they could reach town, a storm they’d been trying to avoid blew in. While crossing a bridge, Teresuke fell into the river trying to remove blockage on the path, and his wife had jumped in to try and save him. Suzuko would see neither of them again. She wouldn’t have even known what had happened, feverish in delusion. Looking back, she always just kind of assumed the wind took them away, as ludicrous as that sounded. At the time she didn’t have anythign to go off but the voices and wind whipping against the vehicle she’d rested in with their possessions as she tried to remain protected. She awoke some days later in a clinic, having been rescued from the abandoned vehicle left in the middle of a common travel route. No one knew what happened, least of all her. Stripped of her home and everyone she’d known in any meaningful capacity, she had nothing. Authorities had been unable to find any relatives to look after her, so Suzuko took matters into her own hands, trying to return to Sunagakure. Going along the road, trying to retrace their steps on her own two feet, she’d gotten lost again rather quickly. The first to find her wasn’t the authorities of the small town she’d ran from, but the Bodagado. En route from Wind to Fire, the small village had been rather close to Amegakure territory, Suzuko stumbling into it unawares. As Suzuko was both lost and a child, however, one with no home or relatives, however, the ensuing confrontation led to four imposing shinobi scaring a small child to tears without even trying. Shinobi as they were, they weren’t monsters, waiting for her to calm down before figuring out the best course of action. They didn’t get much conclusive, just that she had no home or family. As Amegakure itself was born of the remains of other nations, it only felt appropriate for the shinobi to bring Suzu to one of the many orphanages. At her age, there was a way she could contribute and find her place, after all. In a tenuous time where the world was in a strained state of peace, there could never be enough soldiers.

Suzu didn’t have much of a choice: it was either become a shinobi or be forced to fend for herself, and Suzu didn’t want to be alone. She began training, possessing no exceptional ability. But that was fine: though awkward, she wasn’t hated or excluded. Amegakure possessed all types. Even if she wasn’t the most talkative, she liked being around others. Upon being assigned her first team, it got even better. Long periods of time spent together meant closer bonds. And closer bonds meant more pain when they were ripped away. A rudimentary scouting mission to the Land of Earth had led to their sensei being hit by a sneak attack and plummeting off a cliff to his death. Alone and without leadership, the genin were outmatched. They broke into a retreat, Suzu not once looking back. Returning to Ame, she was alone, and none of her comrades joined her. She had been the only one to survive the mission’s failure, and though she took it hard, she couldn’t let her despair crush her if she wanted to eat. Two years after her graduation to Genin, she had to redouble her efforts so that she, one who’d abandoned her comrades, would be accepted by other teams. Living in near poverty, it wasn’t until she became a Chuunin about a year later that she was able to consistently find work. This time, she knew the struggle of shinobi work, and the danger it posed. She or her allies could be dead at any time, so in what she believed to be a wise move, she kept herself at bay. Celebratory meals for a job well done always occurred when she ‘had something else to do’, and meetings outside of work she kept brief. But that too ended in failure. Despite keeping her distance, seeing a comrade in front of her, begging for her help while their legs had been severed by a blade left those cries gnawing at her heart. The muffled scream of another team mate as they were drowned in their mind by a Genjutsu, leaving them to suffocate failed to leave her dreams. The last one had been on her: she, the most experienced one on the squad after the other two died, took charge, not intending to let the mission end in failure again, pressing on. She’d tried to lead the counterattack, to put herself in front of her junior, but in the thick of combat she was only able to cover herself. They had successfully killed the targets: deserters. Ame shinobi whom she could not help but to see an alternate version of herself in, a failed self much like her father who fled because he was unable to find a place in the world. But standing in the rain over the bodies of enemy and comrade alike, she was cold, and once again, alone.

This was Suzuko’s most recent mission. After a period of brief recovery, she requested to be put back on the force as soon as possible. Some had called her cursed. Maybe she was cursed, maybe she’d go through her life the constant ‘only survivor’. Maybe that was fine. If she had one desire, it was to survive.[/indent][/indent]

If in a particularly sour mood she’ll try to do things as quickly as possible.

[b]Custom Jutsu:[/b][indent][img]https://i.imgur.com/Dz8i0zs.png[/img][b]Fuuton: Shifting Blade[/b]
[b]Rank:[/b] A.
[b]Range:[/b] Close.
[b]Description:[/b] Suzuko’s strongest Jutsu, and one that took the most time to before acclimated to. After preforming hand seals, Suzu creates an edge of wind chakra along her hand, wrist, and arm. From an outside appearance, the blade is invisible to those without acute chakra sense, due to Suzuko’s above average chakra control allowing her to leave a slight bit of chakra there upon utilization of the technique, only pouring in enough to make it visible at the moment she needs to strike. It requires a lot of focus, meaning she can’t use other techniques in tandem easily, things like keeping her footing on water or the side of a wall, or maintaining clones make it more difficult to properly manipulate her blade. Upon funneling chakra in, she can change the blade’s shape and size at the moment of attack. She’s only capable of moving it around three meters in front of her, sacrificing some of the range possible with Fuuton techniques, but through being near invisible until the moment of striking and rather quick, along with not needing to follow her movements outright, she can make up for it in deceptiveness. For example, by throwing a punch that only misses, she can put the opponent on lowered guard, feeding the blade with chakra and causing it to whip around and extend through their exposed back.[/indent]
[indent][img]https://i.imgur.com/Dz8i0zs.png[/img][b]Fuuton: Gust Clone[/b]
[b]Rank:[/b] B.
[b]Range:[/b] Clones are created at close range and operate independently.
[b]Description:[/b]A wind element shadow clone, in effect. They operate like typical clones, but upon being destroyed or dispelled, they unless a gust of wind in all directions, throwing anything in range off balance or even blasting victims off their feet. Suzu can create two at a time.
[b]Weaknesses:[/b]Wind gusts don’t discriminate, affecting ally and enemy alike.[/indent]
[indent][img]https://i.imgur.com/Dz8i0zs.png[/img][b]Fuuton: Great Burst[/b]
[b]Rank:[/b] C.
[b]Range:[/b] Close.
[b]Description:[/b] By clapping her hands together, Suzuko releases a great gust of wind outwards in all directions. At her personal limit, she can blast away the average person with relative ease if they’re close and deflect certain attacks like kunai effortlessly, but at three meters out the power drops off considerably.
[b]Weaknesses:[/b]Particularly durable and heavy targets, or those who can block the wind or hold themselves down (with a Doton, for instance) can resist the wind, and generally speaking it can catch allies in the gust as well.[/indent]
[indent][b]Gale Winds[/b]
[b]Rank:[/b] D.
[b]Range:[/b] Supplementary.
[b]Description:[/b] A mobility Taijutsu, Suzuko is able to kick off into a run with excellent acceleration, providing hard to match speed for that quick burst. Often a setup for other ‘Gale’ titled techniques.
[b]Weaknesses:[/b] Though it offers a quick burst of power, there’s a steep drop off unless the user can naturally maintain it, akin to finding speed by running down a hill only to find oneself slowed as they reach level ground. By nature, stopping early can be incredibly dangerous or difficult.[/indent]
[indent][b]Gale Charge[/b]
[b]Rank:[/b] C.
[b]Range:[/b] Medium to Close.
[b]Description:[/b] A natural extension of Gale Winds, Suzu simply converts the momentum into a tackle. With a kunai knife she can make the technique even more dangerous.
[b]Weaknesses:[/b] As the technique puts the user into the fray very quickly, though it can catch opponents off guard, it can put Suzuko in a troublesome spot easily.[/indent]
[indent][b]Gale Flurry[/b]
[b]Rank:[/b] B.
[b]Range:[/b] Medium to Close.
[b]Description:[/b] Similar to Gale Charge, but rather than a full body tackle or stab, Suzuko engages in a combination attack of strikes and blows. Under the ideal execution, the opponent is struck multiple times in succession, each strike blasting them away and potentially keeping the target stunned, the potential damage greater than that of a single charge through finer control.
[b]Weaknesses:[/b] Emphasis on ‘ideal’. To pull of properly requires a fair amount of awareness and control, so as to ensure the force knocks back the opponent far enough so that the continued momentum of Suzuko is able to catch them as they slow again for another strike. Too close and Suzuko can’t strike in time, often leading to a clumsy tackle rather than a full blow, if that. Too far however, and the opponent might be able to recover before Suzuko can strike them again, or counterattack.[/indent][/indent][/indent][/hider]
