History:From the very start, her parents were expecting for Yuuki to be a boy, so they set up her whole life to be as a boy. From the first name, to the "blue" room, even to the clothes. However, when Yuuki came out as a girl, her parents were all but shocked/disappointed. To them, they still saw her as a boy so she was sort of raised up like one. This didn't fare well with Yuuki in the early stages of her life, as she was constantly bullied by her peers for her first name, and the clothes she wore that was intentionally suppose to be for a boy Yuuki. As a only child and as being treated in the eyes of her parents as 60% boy 40% girl, she had to do all the jobs associated with both genders. As a tradition in her family, the boy learned swordsmanship and the girl learned Eijutsu, so she ended up learning both. Her feelings deep down was that she kind of resented her parents for treating her as a boy rather then a full girl, but they were her parents and the love of her life so she had to constantly show that she enjoyed her life, mostly. Right before she was due to graduate the academy, her parents unexpectedly went missing during a S-ranked mission, leaving her all alone until they are found. She was depressed, and shut herself from the rest of the world. She stopped wearing the clothes her parents bought for her, as those clothes were deemed unwearable anymore to her, and started acting anti-social and was on the verge of losing it. On the day of her graduation from the academy, and on the big day of her becoming a genin, she was sitting on the swing, all alone. No one noticed, as they were being hugged and congratulated, and she sat there weeping. With the unknowingness of her parent's status, she did not know what to do to keep her motivated. The world was closing in on her, and she did not have a single helping hand to lift her up. The following weeks that followed, Yuuki was at a lost. She would simply lay in bed, not knowing what to do. The day when she met her team, however, would be the day that Yuuki would find some new found hope,love, and friends. Feeling anxious at first, Yuuki approached the location of where her team were all suppose to meet. Politely introducing herself, she didn't know what to expect from these people who she just barely knew. The reaction was explosive; with many loud introductions,gripping hugs and exciting celebrations! For the first time in a long while, Yuuki felt welcomed and happy. After, they all went out to eat to celebrate the beginning of the team Akabu. Yuuki went home after how many hours of laughing, exhausted and flushed from all of the events that just happened simultaneously before her. Once again laying in her bed deep in thoughts, this time they were not all sad and depressing, but filled with joy and dreams of future missions with this group of go lucky, happy individuals. With the thoughts of her parents deep in the back of her mind, she feel into a dreamless, peaceful slumber. The next day would be the start of her first real test, and her real life.

Roleplay Sample: Yuuki stumbled out of the house, just finishing bawling her eyes out, again. Today is the day she is meeting her new team, since everyone knows that genins are assigned to a jounin, 3 to a group. Yuuki wore a skirt and a nice top today, hoping to leave a good impression. She may not have been prepared mentally, but she'll have to face the music sometime. Trying not to have a depressed look on her face, She slowly dragged her body over to the area that all of them  were all suppose to gather. Worried about her recent personalitie changes, Yuuki still decided to give it her all! Even if its not as stable as it should be, it would have to do. She saw a boy up ahead, and assumed that he was a new teammate of hers. He suddenly ran up to me with a goofy grin and poked my nose
"Hey! You're Kirito right? Im Toto! nice to meet you!Hope we can be good friends!"
"Um..um..please...call me Yuuki, Toto"
"Hey Toto who's the third member? Oh, Yuuki! Remember me? I was your partner in the project we did a while back! Its me! Rien!"
"H-hello Rien. Nice to..see you again.."
"Um..hey genins! Over here! I am your sensei from this day on, Mino Akabu. Now, i expect great things from you guys as my students, i have high goals set for this group. You all best be prepared, you hear?
After the speech he just gave, the two other members turned around and laughed at the thought. Them? Great things? However, Yuuki turned around and nodded, without saying a word or showing her face. Under the surface, lied a great big smile on her face. Yuuki knew that this was the new life ahead of her.

Name: Seiryou Nami - Cool Wave
Rank: D
Type: Medical Ninjutsu
Range: Close (0m - 5m)
Element: N/A
Description: The purpose of this technique is to cool down the temperature of an overheated body.  The user sends a chakra pulse to the patient’s body, in order to open up the skin pores, pump up blood to the skin and widen the blood vessels nearest to the skin, or increase sweat production at the said area. All these effects cool down the body and make it return to normal temperatures. The offensive use of this technique would be of the similar origins, through contact the pulse emits a wave which cools the body where contacted. This effected area is no more than 40 cm in size and the affected area reacts much like any part of the body when cooled. Initial or brief contact merely cools the area, numbing it slightly to pain and reducing its speed of movement by 10%(in the case of limbs). If contact is maintained for more than one post, the limb or affected area will be further numbed and become slightly more brittle, making bones easier to break. The effects last for 2 posts after contact is broken.
Chakra Cost: 4
