@Gowi Would be fun to have tsundere x tsundere interaction. Imagine if Ria and Inori ever interact? This would be a bombshell. Dunno how though but Ria might even fall under kuudere territory, the not so cold one.@Masaki Haruna
If Inori and Ria ever interacted there would be a lot of “Hmph” and “Moron!” uttered, I wager— assuming Ria is as tsun tsun as you imply. A lot of yelling. Though I have the impression that Inori is still very different than Ria. Both are passionate, hot-blooded, and likely boisterous but Inori seems more abusive and keen on condescension while Ria might just be blunt ala “The fact is you are just weak.” sort of quips.

This is just me assuming based on early analysis of character though.

When your CS went up, I thought about how we have enough tsundere that this might turn to Team girl vs Team boys.@Thecrash20
Sage save the boys if that happens.

Psychology & History

From detailed inspection and investigation by ANBU and medical personnel

“I-It’s not that I don’t think I’ll ever be able to meet my father’s expectations. I don’t think I want to.”

|   Ｐｅｒｓｏｎａｌ ｂｉｏｇｒａｐｈｙ:   |
The result between a ruthless ANBU specialist and an unorthodox jōnin, Inori was going to have problems as a functional individual from the onset.

Born in Konohagakure fourteen years ago, Inori’s home life could be described as challenging, especially considering the marque of expectations that were lined up given her status as the firstborn child of the Yamanaka Clan’s de facto leader, Yamanaka Inokaru. A staunch perfectionist and part time elitist, Inori’s father equipped Inori with a sequence of trials as soon as she old enough to take them. Once admitted into the academy these expectations would only increase and as she struggled to appease her father’s wishes she grew to know what disappointment felt like and looked like every time she saw her reflection or a glimpse at her father’s unimpressed expression. As a Yamanaka she was expected to be gifted in Genjutsu, but even more so as the daughter of Yamanaka Inokaru she was expected to meet every standard he met at the same age. Each scowl or head shake led Inori to become more and more passionate and dedicated, though no matter how hard she tried she couldn’t just reach the standards of her father.

Inori’s mother, Hagoromo Mitsuko, was no lightweight either when it came to raising her daughter. Outside of philosophical optimism and encouragement, the fire inside her mother was equally hard on Inori; even when she felt like she was accomplishing something she felt like she could hear her mother whisper to another shinobi one single phrase— “She can do better.” A sentiment that dampened Inori’s enthusiasm at many turns. The shadow of an Academy Student that was trying to live up to two unique icons of their respective generations based on older standards and beliefs of première shinobi criteria; it almost seemed like Inori was set on the path to fail.

However, pushing her doubts and fears inside her head and focusing on her studies at the Academy proved to be a less harrowing experience. She did well on the written exams and the way her parents pushed or “encouraged” her allowed her to do sufficiently well on the physical tests as well— it just wasn’t the physical tests she wanted. Inori scored lowly with ninjutsu and “par” for genjutsu; something of a disappointment for her. The silver lining is throughout the years a fire had been started from within which facilitated a need to express her sorrow and discontent; a desire that awakened in taijutsu.

For other shinobi, the harsh winter was something that was on their minds— for Inori it was her harsh parents and their assertion of what she needed to, not could, achieve.

Inori is a complicated kunoichi— and that is exaggerating. Taking into account her emotional baggage, mental issues, and neglect it is hard to imagine how Inori is functional at all. But somehow, through diligence or a happy accident she appears to be at the very least semi-functional. 

But functional does not translate to nice. All of the sorrow, shame, doubt, guilt, and hate translates into a volatile aggression, pseudo-confidence, and antagonistic appearances. Inori ignores all of her authentic feelings and replaces them with negative displays of unrest— abusive yelling, patronizing insults, depreciative quips, and denial of affection are all “flavors” of Inori’s outer self. It is this behavior that makes her feel better about herself, if only for a moment; as if lashing out at others is an outlet of a greater inner struggle. A struggle Inori refuses to confront and therefore allows to fester. Ultimately, Inori desires friendship and relatable kinship but identifies as showing certain emotions as weak and unbecoming of a shinobi. For someone to crack the shell would be someone that has made an impression on her, and someone who can suffer through the wicked antagonism she dishes out. 

But who could love her enough to tolerate such suffering? Who could care about her when her parents do not?

Yamanaka. 

Hagoromo. 

Both are names that have represented Konohagakure for generations, and are still part of the inner workings to this day. The Yamanaka in particular have always been staunch practitioners of caution, preparation, and espionage as evident by their countless roles within the ANBU sub-faction. Many Yamanaka members have been high ranking members of ANBU, though none have ever wish for the position of Hokage as they believed their best work was from behind the scenes and not as the face of an entire civilization. 

Yamanaka Inokaru is no different in this case. As one of the highest ranking members of ANBU, Inokaru has put his master of Genjutsu on the table to being paramount in protection of Konohagakure’s interests though his pride has teetered toward arrogance in recent years. Inokaru only cares about expectations, preparation, and logistics— thinking those who don’t are naïve imbeciles or incompetent fools. He is only reined in by his optimistic yet frighteningly brutal wife, Hagoromo Mitsuko.

Yamanaka Inori lives for the present and not for the future, or that is what she tells herself. The blonde-haired kunoichi has been known to be incredibly short-sighted and impulsive so gauging her dreams and aspirations are is a challenging endeavor. She’s given various answers to the question in the past— “I don’t think about it.” and “To survive.” being two central answers specifically.

Her fears, on the other hand, tell another story entirely. 

Despite being highly confident, headstrong, assertive, and serious in her expressions Inori seems to actually be very conflicted internally. Whilst she would never admit it she is most definitely terrified inside her own head. Feeling like it is impossible to measure up to her clan’s (and father’s) expectations she has a steady issue of actual self-confidence and emotional unrest. The young kunoichi believes she is constantly running and nothing she does gets her closer to the metaphorical finish line— she’s a failure as a genin and she’ll continue to be a failure as a chunin; Yamanaka’s are not taijutsu savants, they are genjutsu savants, and if she cannot live up to that standard she is worthless; a burden on everything her father has given. 

Beyond that fear of failure, is a calvacade of doubt and anxiety; something that she refuses to show in any means as it is her central belief, that showing weakness such as revealing your insecurities and sorrow, is the expression of a weak shinobi and she refuses to insult her father or her clan any further. Thus these emotions become repressed, bottled up, and allowed to fester underneath the cracks. Whether this will have long term effects is hard to say absolutely, but it is believed it will negatively impact her sooner or later. For the time these doubts fuel her frustrations which fuel her fighting and drive, so until it becomes a problem it can be seen as an asset.

Combat Reports

From detailed reports from previous missions and academy sparring matches

“Get out of my way unless you want to get hurt!”

|   Ｆｉｇｈｔｉｎｇ ｓｔｙｌｅ:   |
Despite the affinity for Genjutsu that Inori has in spades through the bloodline of her father she isn’t inherently a gifted in Genjutsu or Sensory abilities— a fact that continues to frustrate her throughout her daily life. Most often her paternal clan looks at the young woman as an anomaly, especially once factoring in Inori’s aggressive impulses and anxious temperament. As represented by the flora that embodies her the most, the ederuwaisu, Inori’s inner self is powerful and strong which lends to a partiality to close quarters fighting styles within the form of Taijutsu. The focus of her anger in the category is notable and oddly coordinated; almost as if Inori is at peace when she is most livid. As par the course, Inori is also fundamentally agile though she her form in terms of acrobatics needs a lot more work. It is cited that her chakra reserves are moderate-to-high, though sometimes she exerts herself to the point where her stamina is empty long before her chakra is.

With that said, Inori isn’t entirely without competency in Genjutsu or Ninjutsu— she just isn’t a prodigy like she was expected to be in terms of the former. She’s well versed in her clan techniques and the basics; and given the need (or the ability for her to center herself) can utilize them on a “sufficient” level.
