“Life is for the living.
Death is for the dead.
Let life be like music.
And death a note unsaid.”
Pictured here in the most uncomfortable of traditional dresses, Kasumi's typical clothing choices are shinobi staples - plain dark blue leggings, black sandals, and a lighter blue flak jacket with a black shirt underneath. Her hair is worn down without the ornaments and flowers. Her hands are bandaged at all times from wrist to the tips of her fingers, however, to assist her in focusing her chakra to her hands and playing her harp. She is fairly tall and light, weighing in at 45kg and standing at a height of 155cm. She does retain the chain in her hair, centering an (inexpensive) quartz crystal on her forehead which is also occasionally used as a center of chakra. Her harp is very light and is typically worn across her back.

【Personality】
Kasumi is surprisingly strong-willed for being so small. She would throw her weight around, if she had any. She despises sounds that aren't musically pleasing to the ear and will certainly let you know about such crimes. She does sing, on occasion, while playing her harp but you'll be dead before you know that she does not do it in front of others. Her resolve is strong in negative situations and she is the never the first to give up. On the same note, however, she is not the most positive of people. There are few people who are comfortable with her dead-pan demeanor and humor, but deep inside, she is kind, caring, and fiercely loyal to the friends she does make.

【History】
Kasumi's mother and father are shinobi from Otogakure originally, but through their travels, they have settled in Kumogakure and retired from missions, preferring to be involved in Kasumi's life however they can stick their noses in her business to assist her however they could. Her parents are much older, her mother having gotten pregnant with Kasumi after their "retirement". She doesn't know much about what her parents had put themselves through, but the fact that they were still alive was testament enough to their ability. Kasumi was, at a very young age, taught to play multiple musical instruments. From the drums to the flute, she has played them all at least once by the very strict direction of her parents. However, her very first love was playing the harp. The gentle, beautiful sounds it created were always her favorite. It wasn't until the age of six that she started displaying ability to potentially become a shinobi. The option was offered to her at such a young age and she readily agreed.
Her parents weren't convinced that their only child, a girl of such small stature, could be accepted into the Academy or even survive. Even to this day they aren't convinced despite her status a chunin now. She passed her exams with acceptable scores across the board, but she never seemed to specialize in one certain thing. The only thing that has stuck with Kasumi are jutsus directly connected to sound or music. For that reason, she had a specialized harp created and trained vocally also in case she was disarmed. Her father now teaches music at local schools in Kumogakure, constantly giving Kasumi 'advice' about her jutsu. Her mother has also hopped on that boat, nagging Kasumi about missions that could be too difficult or if she comes home with wounds.
Suffice to say, Kasumi prefers silence or music rather than talking. Any time away from home is better than home, but she does love her parents, knowing their intentions are good.

【Dreams and fears】
Kasumi's dream is to get everyone to stop underestimating her and worrying about her all the time. She wants to be seen as the capable kunoichi she is and possibly make a name for herself one day. Her ultimate goal is to become an instructor at the Academy someday and teach other growing shinobi about the world and how to survive in it. She feels that she can be an example that a book is not to be judged by its cover.
Her fears are bad singers, unpleasant noises, her mother's worried tone, broken harp strings, and failure.

【Fighting style】
Kasumi is most skilled at short or medium range. She typically requires a partner or team to take the brunt of the physical force, preferring to supplement her team's chakra and techniques with her support melodies. However, she is not a sitting duck if left alone. She does have some jutsu melodies that can paralyze, confuse, or maim. Her jutsus are exclusively involving sound or air. She is also not helpless if disarmed from her harp due to her ability to mimic the melodies her instrument makes. She is extremely fast and acrobatic because of her excellent chakra control, but this only aids her in escape or gaining distance.
