Appearance: Link 1 x Link 2 x Link 3
-- The girl is like a child, standing at about 4'0 in height. Her body is light, although the exact weight is not known due to lacking proper documentation. It is estimated however, that she is about 80lbs. However, visually, she is stunning, but not in the manner of beauty for most. No, her ivory like skin, her porcelain face, and her strange, lifeless red eyes have given many the impression that they were facing a doll, rather then a person. Her limbs are perfectly proportionate, and thus none look out of place.

The shape of her face is soft, and round, very childlike and more so, the high cheekbones that contrast with such a sweet face give her that artificial feel. Her hair is long and black, the cut of it being hime styled, dangling gently behind her movements. The strands of her hair are very thin, and her posture is often very rigid and unyielding. Her skin is mostly unblemished, apart from the scar that decorates her lower back, around her hips. This scar is horizontal and spans from one side to another. It seems like a jagged scar as well, the only thing that marrs the flawless doll-like skin.



Personality:
-- Shisome is a strange person, although many would say this. She is extremely quiet, almost never truly speaks in clear or concise words, perhaps just because she does not wish to. If one does hear her speak, it is in rhymes and riddles, metaphors that are habitual to her. Only a few people would be able to hear her speak in a clear many, and those people must be very important to the girl. This is one but few habits that make the girl truly strange. Another such habit is calming her body to not move. She stops all sorts of shifts and movement habits, in an effort to remain completely still. Why she picked up this habit is mysterious, but it truly does give her the apperance of a doll.

Her personality in itself is just as unique, as Shisome is frighteningly stubborn, and very intelligent for a girl her age. Her comprehension of things, despite having no actual experience in said things, is quite unusual. She is capable of assimilating, understanding, and even more so, theorize on a level that most would feel uncomfortable at. Her guesses are very typically right, but again, she is unable to accertain facts unless it is clearly shown or stated.

This said, it is simple for the girl to take a lot of unassumed facts, and apply a sort of generalizing social and psychological stereotypes in order to evaluate people and their possible actions and reactions. She can use this to her advantage even in some case, although this is generally done on a more subconcious level, and thus she is not always aware of it. It is hard for others to tell if she is guessing, or if she actually knows, but she is always guessing unless it's clear.

Shisome seems a girl of no sense of self, however some things come to light after a time. She seems to enjoy butterflies, and is very refined in her culture, liking such things. She seems to dislike a majority of things, but that is just that her personality itself is distant and cold. She is very enclosed into herself, so sharing dreams, and hopes are very difficult, along with fears. But it seems that the girl is very much scared of other people, due to the lack of closeness she shares with others.

Despite all of this however, Shisome can be found as charismatic. She can easily lead those that are more weak-willed then her, and often is very logical about her appeals, both emotionally and mentally. She seems like the type of person that is not afraid to do what is needed to be done, and thus can easily bring those that are weaker within their hearts towards her. And some may just find her fascinating. In either case, she seems to have charm and wit that truly fits a manipulative person.


Morality:
-- Shisome, on the surface, seems like a person that has no knowledge of morality or even any ethic what so ever. Her apathetic, and distant attitude makes many others doubt her actual kindness. For make no mistake; Shisome can be a kind person, but is not some push-over to poke around due to her anti-social tendacies. She, as mentioned before, is quite analytical, and thus isn't very easily manipulated. In fact, one may say that Shisome's ethics, seemingly non-existent, are actually skewed.

Relatively, to her such things as the general society's acceptance of good and evil, are very much alien. She understands the concepts, but does not feel them as worthy to herself. Such is true with many things, including other people's happiness and pain. Very rarely, does Shisome wish to concern herself with such things, as to her, other people can be a double edged blade. They can be productive and good, but also are flawed by nature, and thus will harm any close to them someday.

As it makes sense to Shisome, that all humans are relatively flawed no matter what, she strives to, not be perfect, but utilize all of the flaws as one would utilize the positive traits of a person. In this way, she can be extremely manipulative, using her guesses to find the holes in people's hearts, and then twisting logic to her desire in order to accomplish her own goals. In such a way, she is not considerate of others, as she often tramples on their will to accomplish themselves.

To Shisome, morality is only effective when one could use it against another. In this way, she is perhaps a very pure, and yet disgusting person. If it fulfills the very slim margin of things she morally accepts as to be done, she will do whatever it takes to get there. Perhaps, she actually loves humanity and all of it's flaws, and is saddened when people are deliberately going against such things. And yet, at the same time, this immense love for humanity makes her misanthropic, as she sees humanity slowly degenerating. This duality within her mind is almost paradoxial, but one could classify it as that she loves humanity so much that she hates it.

Another good point to note is that Shisome places great value in such things as duty. Generally, her frame of mind make her an excellent Kunoichi, along with her charismatic attributes. When she is presented with a duty, slacking off, or even failing is unacceptable to her, as she strives to accomplish her duties to the best of her measures. She, once convinced of trust in another, also holds to the sense of trust fully, and surely. However, as her manipulative nature may taint this, with falsehoods and lies, Shisome will never give up the duties that ring true to every core of her being.


Story:
-- Your character's history. This counts somewhat as part of the RP sample, so make this nice and clean, and related. More or less, describe why your character has ended up where they are now. Why are they that certain ninja rank, within that village? What trials had they to endure? If their entire family is dead, how did this come to pass? Things like these help tie in the character's rank, and village, along with the personality, so keep that in mind.

Shisome was born to her mother and father, members of the Yamigami family. The family itself was surprisingly large, however the baby girl would not be able to know this for a long time. As a small baby, she was taken from her home by a missing ninja. She was raised as this person's daughter, and taught a variety of things from them. Things like culture, etiquette, and most of all, duty. For the missing ninja was a person of great loyalty, refusing to abandon a way of old when something happened within their village. This person, Shisome doesn't remember their name, nor the rest of their lives, but only the voice which taught her one thing, and one thing only.

Duty is something that is not taken lightly.

Shisome was a mere eight years old, when the missing ninja was finally taken down. She was found in a cave not too far from where the missing ninja had been killed, and it was discovered that she had been a child missing for a time, from her family. The person that took her to her family was very kind, telling the small child stories about the Shinobi academy and such, and even offered to, when they retired next year, to come and teach the child if they wished. For Shisome was already a bright mind by her age, having lived on the run with the missing ninja, and had learned the basics of shinobi methods, from that person. It was an offer that the young girl accepted, enraptured by the life of a Shinobi.

When the shinobi brought the small girl child to the place meant to be her family's home, it was found burnt down, and empty. Asking at a near by village, it was found out that the family home had burnt down about a year ago, and the family living in it either died, or vanished without a trace. It was an indefinite end, as the shinobi now had no idea what to do with the girl. A villager offered to take care of the child, and thus she was traded hands, with a promise from the shinobi to come and get her once their service was done. That was a promise however, that would have to come true half a year early.

For the village in which the girl was staying in, burnt down as well. It was set afire, and in the ashes of the village, only the small girl remained, hidden in the well. She had been there for about a day, when the promised guardian came, all aflustered. It had been a horrible accident, but as the girl had no elemental training or knowledge, it couldn't have been her. So someone had been targetting the family, and then the village which housed the girl child. She however, seemed calm, as if unruffled by the tragedy. It was as if the girl herself had no idea that it was a tragedy, despite going throught the rites that were given to the village.

The one that burnt down the village was another missing ninja, and they were caught shortly after, unconcious. There had been a wound on their side, and it was said that they had tried to escape but had gotten hurt. The girl child had been in the well, so it wasn't sure if she had struck back or not, but Shisome had done such a thing. The well water had just washed away the blood when she was shoved down the thing. And thus, as the guardian only suspected this, they began to train this girl, that seemed to be followed by misfortune.

Shisome however, had another burden. Being home taught by the shinobi had allowed her to gain genin like capabilities, and thus when she hit the age of 12, she went travelling with the retired ninja. They were to see different towns and countries, and Shisome would have to decide where she would want to serve. But the burden that weighed on her, was that the village she had wanted to be in, was already decided for her. She would march towards that place, as the travelling time came to an end. And thus, she decided to enter service to Otogakure no sato. For this village was located in the homeland of the missing ninja that had taken her.

And her duty back then, was to redeem this person, by aiding their homeland. And thus, the child began to do just that, whilst polishing her shinobi skills. She has no idea where fate is to take her, as the guardian that had taught her died shortly after she had decided her village. With no roots to return to, and only a future to unfold, she simple goes towards the path that she finds the best.

And thus begins her story.


Roleplay Sample:
-- The night was burning. Fire was everywhere, as the child stared, the villager that had protected her now beside her. The child could smell the burning of flesh, could hear the screaming of those trying to make it out of burning buildings. But more importantly, there was a smell in the air, a smell that was very familiar. A metallic, coppery smell that she could almost taste in her mouth. It was blood, and the red of it shone within the fire, as a figure looked at her. Lifting her head, she met the eyes, the eyes that were staring at her as if unbelieving. Of course, many looked at her like so the first time they met her. She was quite.. different. Her red gaze never wavered, almost as if unblinking. She knew it was unnerving.

But this person had set the village afire, and killed most of the villagers, leaving the others to burn. Why? The girl had no idea, but the face was not even familiar either. However, the voice, the voice that had cried out anguish and insanity as villagers laid butchered, was familiar. It was one of the voices she heard with another, a comfortable voice. Yes, it was a voice in her mind, one that she knew from before. The girl however, noted how the other still had a weapon. She didn't even show the fact that she would move. She just moved, almost unsettingly, as the sharp rock she had from the ground flew from her grasp. A hand pushed her, and she noted that it was the hand of the villager that had been protecting her. So had they just been playing dead?

The girl fell, and water came to her, surrounding her like a jaw. Having taken a deep breath as she fell, she stayed under the water. For how long? She didn't know, but she came up once she needed to breathe. Around her, the water was shimering, red like the color of the flame. Here.. it was cold and damp. It felt strange, as she noted the pail that was used to get water was also down here. It was a pretty large one, as the girl pushed it to one side of the well, and then climbed. She put her feet inside, and crouched, using her hands to balance herself with the walls of the well. She would have to remain here for some time.

At least until help come for her.
