Color of the flower
Has already faded away,
While in idle thoughts
My life passes vainly by,
As I watch the long rains fall.

Appearance

With what could be known as a Nordic build capable to withstand physical punishment and harsh environment, Yayoi stands straight Four and half feet tall. How did Yayoi blossomed to the fine women she is, is completely hidden beneath the garments of choice and that choice doesn't show much, whether it is the normal life attires or the uniform of her dark profession. But of the Uniform, we can speak. Deep grey long sleeves with a lesser shades of lead and a blue jeans that followed the same theme of dark. Her legs are never bare, a snow white Tabi -Japanese type of socks - gives them the warmth and against ground hazards, there are always those black trusty boots. Her hands follows the same scheme with gloves that lie about how her hand would look like. However, it doesn't end there, for her well being is well engulfed by the means of a black like moonless midnight trench coat that reaches her deep to her ankles, sleek the touch of leather is, the same could be told about the gloves. The trench coat comes with a hood that provides her visage a shadowy sanctuary, a refuge which keeps her true avatar always hidden.

Whenever Yayoi would let aside the hood. It would apparent that she did take so little of her mother's face but of course, who would know? The girl is a bastard child after all. Yet, it is totally ironic how she completely inherited the looks of her father, as the young girl favored the Yamanaka's side inside the veil of her unknown mother's womb. Indeed, the typical gene pool blonde and blood. Nonchalant, the golden threads falls peaceful to her shoulder blades, though it seems that golden crown had some rust of ivory in it's beginnings while faintly burning with ebony in it's end, indeed a fake crown. Within the solace of her bangs, there are two well rounded pearls of crystal clear cerulean blue, however deep in them, there is a very cold grief. And as such, the windows of her life are outlined with well drawn eyebrows of profound yellow. Bridged in between, an unremarkable nose of a pride lost lies. The leather of her skin speaks of white, not pale yet not flushing with life and so her high cheekbone avatar ending peacefully with smooth chin, in such color is painted. Soon, the vista would be complete, be patient! the ears quite large for a female are half submerged in rivers of gold. Lastly, lips which do well with her age, anointed with light paige. All in all, the avatar's advocate is a little bit long neck. Now, it is complete..

And, she doesn't smoke..

Forehead Protector

The headband lies there, tied tight within her right arm.

Personality

In a high esteemed society where pure blood is all that matters, a bastard child is bound to go through hard. Yet, perks are about to be gained, the way of thinking is ever changing, however there are there those pillars, the strong foundations that forms her personality. For the better or the worst.

"Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent's fate." ~Sun Tzu~

Yayoi strives to be a manipulator of sorts and by all means that doesn't mean that she would be categorized within the band of the wicked sick. Simply, all that the young Yamanaka wants is an equal footing like her peers. A prankster of words, joker of gestures. That peculiar one may appear gentle and humble at times if that course of action would serve her cause right. Intimidating and violent in another to get to her ends. There is no usual pattern upon which others would judge her. However, in all her dealing she tries the most to be subtle and mysterious therefore she would be safe from other anticipation. Trying with every step, to have the upper hand..

"He who knows, does not speak. He who speaks, does not know." ~Lao Tzu~

Silence is golden or that what they ought to say. However, there is benevolence in listening and more less in speaking, keeping the knowledge within her mind, not to be spilled. A true guardian of secrets despite trying to be a manipulator, that girl can be trusted if you can forgive her, her weird character.

"Men rise from one ambition to another: first, they seek to secure themselves against attack, and then they attack others." ~Niccolo Machiavelli~

That one had ambition that knows no bounds, the young one craves for power and would prove to others that she simply can do it, whatever it was. But the source of her ambition is not vile, she wants her elders of her clan to acknowledge her existence thus giving their blessing for the young one to be a Yamanaka. Though deep in her heart, she really doubts it happening and every now and then, unsure herself, if it was for her clan's name or personal glory. Sometimes, things are just blurry.

"Let me give you some counsel, bastard," Lannister said. "Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you." ~Tyrion Lannister, Game of thrones~

And so, her mixed blood, being a halfling of a Yamanaka, a shameful shadow that follows her everywhere. Though she dreams to be treated like a royalty, the other part of her want to accept reality and flow with the natural way of things. She doesn't want to get hurt more, while accepting who she is gives her some relief and perhaps not having the last name as a Yamanaka would give her the freedom her half blood relatives don't have and maybe would escape the hatred of whom disdain the lords of the mist with scrutiny. Yayoi herself leads a hard life and uncertain one, nonetheless she is the man of her own.

"I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man." ~Zhuangzi~

It can be easily concluded. That the young one is full of contradictions, uncertain, unsure and lost like a child in her first day in a school named 'life'. Every day is a continuation of a very long dream that doesn't end. Yayoi wants a normal life, yet with every passing moment, her values about morals are being tested putting in mind her main traits, deep inside a real kind-heart that probably wouldn't get her anywhere in a cruel world that hunt down the good and keeps the wretched in power. Such indeed, an eternal torment..Perhaps, Yayoi thinks of herself as crazy, since after all different voices speak within the deep labyrinth of her mind each with a different opinion, unable to know which voice to trust. The night rain tread a gray path, not dark and not light.

Simply, Yayoi is no angel, definitely not a devil, just plainly mad..

Simple as it is, Yayoi would devise long term strategies supplied with witty tactics to keep herself well defended at the meant time exploiting the weaknesses of her opponent, they are bound to have some after all, they always do. Yet, this is no real indicator on how she really fights. Mainly, Yayoi is a support type whenever this odd one is deployed with a team, she follows orders fervently quite well declaring a vast amount of resourcefulness, or relay them if she was to be the leader and the ruthless leader she would be. However, if Yayoi was the lone wolf, alone in the battlefield. She prefers hiding within the shadows playing her favorite game of patience waiting the perfect ambush, she has a general disdain for fighting fair and square, where her heart yearns for dark antiques and dirty tricks. Gentlemen, beware of your testicles!

THE BACKGROUND.

History:

Early life:

It began with a mistake, a huge mistake based on a whim and a good ache. And of all of these whims, it was strong enough to plant the seed. Her father, of whom name doesn't matter since after all Yayoi took his name was already wed to another high born Yamanaka, that's before he would set off for a long time operating in the wilderness. The cause of the ninja was never noble, for their war was always about deception and deceit, back stabbing and treachery. Months past, the young man didn't return home pursuing vehement endeavors and blood affairs, all in the name of the village and a stained honor. Wiping off the dangers and possible threats around the mist, there he was bound by fate to witness the destruction of a weaker hidden village buy his own very hands leaving behind none alive always keeping up to the ruthlessness his village was very famed about. Yet, there was someone, he couldn't kill a young woman of immense beauty, high born herself but not a Kunoichi. Deprived from seeing his own wife for a long time, driven by lust, he forgot a vow was not supposed to be broken, a covenant meant be always intact like great oak tree with a strong roots.

What happened had happened. And there was no way to reverse it back, by then the women womb was a protective sanctuary of his own child so he kept her life for nine months until his first born came to life, a young female infant. It was dark night where heavy raining was just dancing outside bringing with a fresh scent of the clouds new born itself. And so the man spared the woman, sending her somewhere to live well while keeping the child with him. Not a bright idea, but he was entranced by the young infant for somewhat she looked like him or that what he felt. And so his high born Yamanka woman received after long time after long of anticipation to find him coming back with a child and not only that, attending to his daughter first getting her a wet nurse of whom the flickering new life would feed.

And what happened next for the girl was just hell. I forgot to tell you, Didn't I? Since she was a bastard child, she was named Amaya, night rain and that was her last name and her first name was Yayoi, a pretty ironic life.

Academy student Phase:

And those days were not really merciful for the young Yayoi, for you see. Her step mother took all detailed precautions and sadistic measures to make her a living life. It was a pretty much up a Korean drama where the heroine get tormented for about the half the season or more until she get her revenge and I do assure you, Korean dramas breaks the limit of hundred. Without going into what really happened, to spare you the sadism of that young man writing this history for sometimes, he himself doesn't understand himself. Regardless, yes. Within her household, Yayoi to dine with her family let alone to show her visage. Her siblings called half sister and those were the nice ones, while the others called a bastard. Ah, the one sibling-ly love, yet after all of this emotional turmoil, the young one kept clinging to hope, waiting for the day she would leave this house while feigning obedience just not to awaken the dragon, a very motherly wrath. However, there was some moments which she had cherished, sometime her father took her out from some walking, though indeed the duo was silent most of the way but he managed to buy her some sweets of this or that. So, her life was completely dull.

But as Yayoi grew old, she envisioned that the day would come where her siblings would take high positions, what would be of her? No, staying with her mother was an already dimmed option. So she spoke with her father about joining the academy. Strangely enough, her father quickly accepted as if he was waiting but the burden of guilt sealed his lips. Apparently of course, his wife desired that too much. Yayoi was able to see that, bastard children were very good at noticing things and it seemed her mind was a sharp despite being somehow derailed.

And so she joined, things went pretty much easy for someone observant enough and voila, she became a full fledgling Genin. Mad like a Malkavian and noms on books like a bookworm.

Genin Phase:

A true lone wolf, an albino who wants nothing else but to hone her skills, for the time should come when the need arise, they would call upon her name. Yayoi foresaw that coming, and of all the trades a Kunoichi would train in, she chose to study the elusive arts of medicine determining for it to be her undeniable strength, after all the bastard was banished from all knowledge considering the wicked mental ways of her supposed to be clan. And so, her colleagues would call Baka Onna, some of them belittling her for what she is and others would think of her as weird due to her choice of clothing always giving the impression that she always want to hide something and those courageous enough to make the approach would be struck by her peculiar demeanor giving them something always to think about. Is she a friend or foe?

Baka Onna, the first thing would come to mind is 'stupid girl' while those who are wise enough would deem her as a 'wicked women'

Roleplay Sample:

A fake crown hidden beneath her hood, an unwanted shelter from misty air but she got used to it and habits do die hard. Indeed, the young bastard was not lying within the comfort of her home, only out there in the wilderness and for her, anywhere was a wasteland and she was the lone albino wolf. Yet, droplets of rain were offering her words of solace, many gentle whispers telling that what was coming will be better of what had left. Her mind yearning for reading a book, but the invisible sympathizers didn't her the chance to do so. Perhaps, a nearby library would be the place to go. Yes, inside, the whispers would lessen much but not much enough to forget their mourning for her. The young one didn't have friends, no that was a lies, she only had books, rain and life as her comrades always sticking for a lone wolf.

The keeper had a very strange peculiar facial features that never failed to surprise for the young Yayoi was a regular for the bookshop. She can tell how the man loathed her presence but about that he didn't speak, and no, he never knew about her familial issues, it was just the stranger visiting him for a while was a freeloader, she just comes to read without buying anything. Well, Yayoi never had money on her, the step mother would deny her that out of the sheer force of blind hatred. But the young one couldn't help herself from intruding every while and then. Still, the Yamanaka quickly noticed a new face beneath her hoods, someone she never saw before. Whoever he was, that new face, was anxious, Yayoi read much, as if he was burdened with guilt. He slipped a small book into his sleeve and walked for his exit.

How intriguing! the day had come where there would be cultural thieves. Whatever book piqued the interest of her broken mind was returned to the nearby shelf taking upon her the need to trail the book thief. Yayoi kept a really short distance between them and he didn't notice her, an amateur, she concluded. Finally and luckily, she didn't take much to end the chase. The words snatcher had a hideout, a small one that is, for a child to pass through. There, Yayoi couldn't get through, so she indulged herself in a game of patience. Waiting and waiting, not caring to return back to her home since no one would care about her. Hours passed under the rain that her well being didn't really mind. Soaked and wet was an understatement but her patience paid off. The young boy got out only to be greeted by a kunai licking his neck.

Where is the book? that she whispered his right ear send chills to his spine, indeed she was behind giving him little room for a more little to escape. What book? Yayoi only answered with the Kunai's point shallow deep to his nick allowing a superficial wound and a trail of scarlet spilled. Okay, Okay..I just was going to return it back again! the young boy was very close to sobbing, so spoke hoarse, that music box of his, his very young vocal strings. His petite hand showed the book for it's hiding beneath it's hiding, weird was his sleeve. Yayoi didn't wait, she snatched the book from the snatcher. Polite children shouldn't steal! That, she told him and he couldn't tell from her tone of voice, whether it was an advice, it's opposite or just plain canned sarcasm.

So, the disguised Yamanaka lift her dangerous arm away giving him the chance to run for it. But he didn't, opting to turn around to get a hold of her visage. Gently, she petted his head, reassuring with some words I shall keep my lips sealed provided you wouldn't steal again. Quick were the words ending with a kiss on the cheek leaving him mesmerized in the spot. Now, I shall return this. Pray, excuse me. With that she left him be, soon to disappear from his sight.

What he didn't know, that the young bastard didn't have any intention whatsoever to return the book. Instead, she went back home entering her room from the window since no way is getting from the door that would be very suicidal. Yayoi to keep the book, she didn't steal it or rather stole it from a thief so she thought it would be cool. It was a Manga, but it didn't matter. Yayoi reads anything, anytime. Of course, that would be done soon after having a shower and get herself free from some old friends, that were the rain..

Although we do allow custom application formats on Ultimate Shinobi, the current coloring, font and general appearance of this application make it very difficult to read, therefore before much moderation work is done I am going to ask you to change the appearance of your application purely for the sake of readability. The font along with the constant blue and centered position of the app make it very difficult to read.

Pray, Forgive me for the inconvenience that I have caused you. The application style had been changed upon recommendation and I do hope now it is more comfortable for the eye to read. Please do continue, I am at your careful hands and ready to exercise modifications to better this application.

Much obliged.

Simple as it is, Yayoi would devise long term strategies supplied with witty tactics to keep herself well defended at the meant time exploiting the weaknesses of her opponent, they are bound to have some after all, they always do.

The only thing that I can see with this application, right off the bat, is that your combat style needs to be longer. Basically, you need to speak to how Yayoi deals with different situations. Is she versatile, or does she stick to a tried and true combat style? How does she fight against long ranged opponents, or short ranged opponents? Is she able to fight at close range, or longer ranges with ease? That, or does she stick to mid range, or does she avoid combat at all costs. You need to talk about that kind of thing, as well as how she thinks in combat situations. Is she tame, is she mean, vicious, wild, calm, or is she something different. Some things to think about. After that, I think you should be fine.

P.S: I like the custom template.

Before I give my second approval, there are just two things I found worth mentioning:
As detailed as your history is, I find it needing a bit more about her current life after the academy.

The nickname "Baka Onna" is never mentioned in the history. So why would she have it as a nickname? It is fairly standard for the reasoning behind the nickname to be given either in the history or the personality of an application.

Age : 38 Posts : 19

Added more to her history regarding her Genin days and also an explanation for why she is called Baka Onna.

Thank you very much.
