Hinoko is exactly 5’6 and weighs 146 lbs. She has brown-black hair and it’s pulled into a spiked ponytail at the back of her nap. A few strands of her bangs dangle on both sides of her cheeks. She appears rather pale, almost translucent. Hinoko has a 4 inch braid starting from the side of her ear, to the base of her neck; this symbolizes womanhood.

Her attire is complicated but not intricate. A red-hued mask of double layered fishnet covers the lower half of her face; she usually wears a look of melancholy or a frown. She also has a scarf attached to her mask, also of a reddish-hue. She has a thin mail shirt, covered with gray cloth and piping making it looks like a corset.

Hinoko also has a dark purple pair of thigh high shorts. She also has a pair of shoulder high sleeve like wear, with metal plating on the forearms and back-hands. Hinoko has a ration pack and pouch for coins or other odd baubles. She has two knee high open toed boots with her village symbol attached to it just under her knee in a sewing pattern.

A scar can be located along the spine of her back from a incident of youth. It healed easily, but it left leopard like splotches all down her back. She also has her village symbol tattooed into her ankle on the left foot. Hinoko’s canines are also unusually large and can be mistaken as dog’s fangs. She has a slim body, and her face has a heart shape. Her body has a few curves; Her waist being 26 inches, her hips 30 and her bust is 36.

Hinoko’s hands have been callused and scarred from heavy work such as training, farming, and blacksmithing. Aside from her work-worn hands, they are very nimble and can weave or stitch anything within seconds. She usually wears a blue ring around her left middle finger. Hinoko usually stores extra energy in this ring for further use. There isn’t much special about the rest of her body other than her eyes and back. Her eyes usually change slightly with her mood. One minute they can be a solemn dull blue, then next minute deep green with contentness.

Hinoko’s muscles are double jointed and she can spring and bend backwards (Or forwards) to the extreme, this makes her foot work better and her ability to dodge slightly better than normal. Her skin has a soft complexion the opposite of her expression on her face. Her skin is also thick and not penetrated easily. The skin is usually white or pale, and doesn’t have much color, even after sitting in the sun for a long time. Hinoko’s eyes are an almond shape, and her pupils are usually undilated to better see in the dark or shaded areas.

Hinoko also has slightly pointed ears, and several piercings along the sides of them. She also has a tongue piercing with the bulb of a sparrow. Her cheeks are slightly round, giving her a kitten like look. Her chin has only a small cleft, and her eye brows are usually arched and thin without having to pluck them. Hinoko has about 20 freckles on the bridge of her nose, and upper cheeks. Her diaphragm and chest are usually extended because her lungs are larger than a normal person. Her running speed is slightly below normal, but she can run longer than a mile, without becoming tired.

Hinoko’s primary mode of living is focused internally, where she can take things in via her five senses in a literal, concrete fashion. Her secondary mode is external, where she deals with things rationally and logically. Hinoko is a quiet and reserved individual, and is most comfortable in security and peaceful living. She has a strongly-felt internal sense of duty, which lends her a serious air and the motivation to follow through on tasks. Organized and methodical in her approach, Hinoko can generally succeed at any task which she might undertake.

Hinoko is also very loyal, faithful, and dependable. She places great importance on honesty and integrity. She is normally a "good citizen" who can be depended on to do the right thing for her own family or other families and communities. While Hinoko generally take things very seriously, she also usually has an offbeat sense of humor, especially around family or close friends

Hinoko usually tends to believe in laws and traditions, and expect the same from others. She’s not comfortable with breaking laws or going against the rules. If Hinoko is able to see a good reason for stepping outside of the established mode of doing things, her personality will support that effort. However, Hinoko more often than not, tends to believe that things should be done according to procedures and plans. If Hinoko has not developed her Intuitive side sufficiently, she may become overly obsessed with structure, and insist on doing everything "by the book".

Hinoko is extremely dependable on following through with things which she has promised. Since she has such a strong sense of duty, she may have a difficult time saying "no" when she is given more work than she can reasonably handle. For this reason she often works long hours and can be taken advantage of a lot.

She will work for long periods of time and put tremendous amounts of energy into doing any task which she may see as important to fulfilling a goal. However, she will resist putting energy into things which does not make sense to her, or for which she can't see a practical application. Hinoko prefers to work alone, but works well in teams when the situation demands it. She likes to be accountable for their actions and enjoy being in positions of authority.

She has little use for theory or abstract thinking, unless the practical application is clear. She also has tremendous respect for facts. Hinoko holds a large store of facts within herself, which she has roped in through out her life. She may have difficulty understanding a theory or idea which may be odd from her own perspective. However, if she has shown the value or relevance of the idea to someone who she respects/cares about, the idea becomes a fact, which the Hinoko will remember/support. Once she supports an idea, she will stop at no lengths to ensure that she is performing her duty of support where support is needed.

Hinoko is not usually in tune with her own feelings and the feelings of others. She may have difficulty picking up on emotional needs immediately, when they presented. Being a perfectionist, she has a tendency to take other people's efforts for granted, like she takes her own efforts for granted. She might need a compliment from people once in a while.

Hinoko is unsure about expressing affection and emotion to others. However, her strong sense of duty and the ability to see what needs to be done in any situation usually allows her to overcome her natural reservations, and she is usually busy supporting and caring individuals with the people that she loves. Once Hinoko realized the emotional needs of those who are close to her, which does take quite a long time, she puts forth an effort to meet their needs.

Hinoko is very loyal., traditional and family-minded. She will put forth great amounts of effort at making her home and family run smoothly. She is usually a good provider to her family. Hinoko cares deeply about those close to her, though she usually is not comfortable with expressing her love. She will likely express her affections through action rather than words.

Appearance: [spoiler]http://www.nihonswords.com/wp-content/uploads/P1100574.jpg

Hinoko was born in outside the main cities of Suna, in October, harvest season, Her family was working class, and she spent most of her early years working onher fathers farm. Hinoko has 2 older brothers, and one younger sister. Her eldest brother Raiki left to join the ninja acamdey when she was about 4. Living in small town taught Hinoko the value of family, and contributed to her developing personality. She oftend ran errands for the elders of the village with her youngest sister, who died of some unknown malady when she was 3.


Hinoko's father was a very heavy drinker, and often pushed her mother around a lot, including Hinoko herself, when she got older. In one of her fathers raging drunk fits, he accidently threw a hot iron at Hinoko's back while she was working near the stove, hence the long scar on her spine. When Hinoko turned 8, Her mother, Karin worked up the courage to gather everyones belongings while Hinoko's father was away, and hustle everyone off to the main city. This is where Hinoko's second youngest sister was born, named Rika, the last remnants of her fathers existance ended there.


Living in the city was pretty difficult for Hinoko and her family, since they all had small town ethics, and were used to a tight nit group of villagers. Here almost everyone bustled about without giving a single nod. But none of this changed their views, they still made friends, and Hinoko still ran errands whenever she could, in between working with her mother in a general store down the road. Eventually Hinoko decided to join the Academy, like her brother and best friend Niata did. Niata who was now 13 had been recruited as a new genin, and Hinoko was not to be out done.

During Hinoko's time at the Academy, she had many pre-teen problems. Pimples, boys and girls, teachers who didn't understand her way of thinking...But she would never let Niata get the best of her. She worked diligently, though her hard work seemed to attract the attention of teasing and mock insults from the other girls at the Academy. She hated not fitting in, but she also wanted to be the best she could be, and get Genin as fast as possible, and shove it in peoples faces.


Now entering 6 months Hinoko had made plenty of friends, and had started to learn more and more about herself by the day, the teachers liked her now, and after some discussions with her mother Karin, they now understood the way her brain worked. It was unusually abstract, and she thought outside the box almost constantly, though she did follow most of the rules that she thought were fair.


At the nearing end of the Academy, she hated to leave her new friends and travel back to Suna, but her heart tugged at her, always making her look South towards the sandy dunes. Her new friends assured her that they would get as many missions in Suna as possible, and come visit her. Hinoko was thrilled that her friends would do something like that, but it did turn out that none of them were able to come to Suna after being promoted to Genin. Hinoko did graduate 5th in her class, not the best she wanted, but the top five got her hopes up.

It seemed like the Genin years came and went in Hinoko's life. It wasn't very short ofcourse, but it wasn't long either. She still helped her mother around the city whenever she could, in between her D and C rank missions. Her sensei Rikashi wasn't the nicest person either, so helping her family was difficult. The members of her team were pretty friendly, though the only female in the group, it was kinda awkward for her. But being the only girl made her want to prove herself, and make sure that they boys knew what she could do.


A few months near the end of her Genin years, her mother Karin fell ill, and it was to the upmost difficulty to get permission from Rikashi to go to her mothers side while she was sick. Sadly the illness started getting worse even after regular treatments of herbs and poultices made by Hinoko herself, taught to her by her grandmother. A medical ninja was called into the home, and couldn't, for the like of her, figure out what was wrong with Hinoko's mother. A week later Hinoko found another Medical ninja at her door. This one however, looked much older than the first, and had a faint fornw in his face as he looked over Karin, but he too couldn't find much wrong, other than the faint trace of copper in her arteries.


When the news came of her team being promoted to Chuunin, everything seemed to brighten, and the day seemed much more friendly than usual. Rikashi was unusually happy that day, and seemed to be genuinly happy for the three in his team. In the same day as the accouncement of Chuunin, her mother was up and about the house, doing some light housework. The best time in life was now, when everything seemed to go right, except when her father came back into her life.

Chuunin exams were pretty hard, lots of writing and battles, training and schedules. All this added to the stress of Hinoko's day. When the day for the battles arrived, Hinoko's mother had come all the way from Suna to watch her in her fight against another Chuunin hopeful. Just the thought of her mother being proud gave her so much momentum, that the fight was over in 15 minutes. Hinoko had almost gone over her own physical limit. Though it proves that even the slightest inspiration can make Hinoko go a long way.

The start of Hinoko's Chuunin years would be far from happy, or peaceful. Her father came back into her life, everything went back down hill. Hardly anyone knew them in this big city, and they couldn't rely on small town support against Hinoko's father. Though Hinoko's mother was slowly getting stronger, Hinoko didn't think that her mother could take her father on anymore. So, the worse case scenario, Hinoko was forced to hunt down, and murder her father...

Everything was fuzzy, having a watery like texture. A soft voice was near, but the words were like Hinoko’s vision. She moved her head, tilting it to the side, to look over at the nightstand; an empty bottle of sake lay on its side. She let out a soft groan, her head spinning as she tried to lift it up. Something was pushing down on her torso, saying something urgently. Hinoko opened one eye and looked down at her stomach. A person was leaning down against her side, and talking to her, its eyes wide with worry.


Hinoko muttered something, and pushed a weak hand against the person on her, cutting off her circulation. She then pushed her left side up and turned over slowly, facing towards the left wall. Everything was dark, and smelled damp. A few candles scattered around the room casted shadows on two others in the room.


Quiet footsteps sounded from somewhere in the room, light and fleeting. She looked up to see a man in black motioning a woman in traditional healers clothing to go to her bed. Hinoko’s vision had cleared somewhat, as she regained consciousness. The woman touched her forehead and murmured a few words. The pain in her head and body disappeared, and her vision cleared up a lot more. She rubbed her eyes, propping herself up with her right hand, looking around the room.


A piece of string with a black rock tied to it swung very near her face, she blinked, a bit startled. She batted irritably at the thing, hissing a bit. “Wha-? Cut that out…’’ The woman healer holding the string dropped it onto the bed, and checked off something on a clipboard, she muttered to herself. ‘’She is regaining consciousness, vitals improving, and senses okay…’’ The woman nodded her head in approval and lifted her hand at the man in black, it looked like a thumbs up to Hinoko, but her vision was still a bit off.


Hinoko heard a quiet whooshing sound to the left of her head; she jerked her head back and lifted her hand just in time to catch something in her hand. She looked down at it, narrowing her eyes. It was her black and purple lighter, which she almost never let out of her sight... Hinoko frowned and looked up at the man in black who apparently threw the object at her. ‘’Don’t throw things at me jackass…’’ She picked up the sake bottle next to her on the nightstand and threw the bottle at the man’s head, hitting a little off of where she intended. Whether he meant to dodge or not was beyond her.


The woman healer checked another thing off her list, and nodded again, flicking her glance to the man, then back again. The woman leaned down and spoke softly. ‘’Hinoko-san? Hinoko-san can you hear me…? There is someone here, who wants to talk to you…’’ The woman motioned to the man in black whom Hinoko threw the sake bottle. An indent and some bloodstains were visible on his chest. He cam into the light and Hinoko studied his features. He had a striking youthful face, sorrowful deep blue eyes, and broad shoulders. He opened his mouth slightly to speak but a rambunctious rapping on the door interrupted him.


The lady healer frowned deeply and shook her head; she ignored the rapping, and motioned for the man to continue. But the sound continued, very consistently and a loud voice sounded from behind the think mahogany door. ‘’Let me in this INSTANT! Don’t you keep me from my daughter!!’’ The healer sighed and unhitched the door slowly of its heavy iron locks. The door swung open to reveal a sickly, thin woman with worry lines on her face. ‘’Hinoko, thank goodness…you blacked out again, that’s what the doctors said…’’, her mother started babbling about something and moving quickly to her side. Hinoko frowned and stared at the door, it was dim outside too, but lighter than her room…


The healer intervened and motioned at the man to try and continue, again. The man in black coughed slightly, pulling a face. ‘’Finally… I’m Char, your team leader.’’
The lady healer nodded in approval and glared at Hinoko’s mother, who was fidgeting over at the end of the bed. The healer turned her face back. “Well, I’m Emi. And, I do think you need some rest, Char please stay here and fill her in on the going ons, and she’s been out for days, just as a reminder.’’ Emi hustled out the door, pushing a reluctant Karin out with her


‘’Well then…I guess I should fill you in.’’ Char moved slowly to a desk chair next to Hinoko’s bed, folding a leg over the other, leaning an elbow on the night stand. Hinoko leaned up against the headboard of the bed, and listened intently to the update. He mentioned something about the caves up north, and about her old team and how they were, but nothing that seemed to alarm Hinoko. Somehow Char’s voice drifted her slowly into sleep, but he didn’t seem to notice. A soft black wave crashed over her eyes, pulling her into a dreamless state.


When Hinoko awakened, no one was in the room, and the door, was slightly ajar. She had a slight pain in her left side, but she was not longer nauseous. Hinoko lifted herself up and moved her legs over to the left side of the bed, letting them dangle, her toes brushing a soft faux fur rug. She pushed off, the sheets crinkling and forming around her hands. A slight dizziness came over her as she steadied herself on the nightstand. Hinoko shook her head and took small light steps towards the door, easing it open slowly. The bottom brushed against the carpet, but the door didn’t make a sound.


When Hinoko stepped into the hall way, she saw several doors, and heard faint beeping. Shuffling of blankets could be heard from the other rooms, and shifting shadows in the darkness. Moonlight shone from the high up windows, giving things a silvery glaze. Hinoko was almost too enraptured in the moonlight to notice the footsteps behind her, becoming louder and louder. Startled her head whipped around quickly, looking for a hiding place. She spotted a dirty laundry basket and an open door nearby, maybe 20 feet or so. But the footsteps were too close to make a run for it. ‘’Shunshin no Jutsu…!’’ She performed 3 hand seals, whispering the name of the Transportation jutsu, and a small puff of smoke replaced her body as she travelled quickly to the door, slipping inside, just in time to see a staff member trot up to the cart, look around quickly and wheel it away.


Hinoko whipped her forehead, and whispered gratitude to the gods. She poked her head around the corner of the door and started forward slowly, rounding the edge smoothly, keeping her ears alert for more footsteps. She stepped quietly, peeking in a few rooms and supply closets; the hall way seemed to go on forever… Hinoko stopped near one door with the number fourteen engraved on it. It just happened to her favorite number, and birth day. ‘’Hrm…I’ll just take a quick peek…’’. She opened the already ajar door and poked her head in. It was warm in the room, and dark than the others, but not all that interesting. As she turned to leave, something sounded near her ear. Something very, very familiar…’’Hello Dear…, I’ve been waiting for you…’’
