KESSHO, MEGUMI.

THE INFO.

Name: Kessho, Megumi.
Nickname: Gumi. Megu.
Age: 16.
Gender: Female.
Appearance:

HEAD) The first thing you will notice about this young kunoichi's face is her eye patch. Sometimes, it a simple white eye patch that most doctors would give out. Other times, the eye patch is black and just may or may not have a more elaborate quality-- skulls or small embedded jewels decorating it. Megumi's eyes are naturally violet. Her mostly straight hair is a similar shade to her eyes, though usually more darker looking. She has found that her hair is quick to grow, it taking only mere weeks before it is at shoulder length despite originally being more at near chin length. It is also common to see the kunoichi's hair unkept, especially towards the back of her head where it tends to stick up or out slightly similar to the fashion of a pineapple. Megumi doesn't really wear make up all that much, but you can occasionally spot her lips a bit more shiny than usual. The answer as to why that is-- transparent lipgloss. Her lips are more on the fuller side while her nose is a on the smaller side with a sharp little point. Both of her ear lobes are pierced.

BODY) Megumi has light skin that tends to become rather splotchy in a red or pink color when it is irritated or harmed as well as when she becomes embarrassed or becomes too hot. An uncertain amount of scars riddle her back as well as some stitchings. She stands at five feet and three inches without shoes. Her weight rests at ninety-seven pounds. The kunoichi doesn't have much muscle definition within her legs, but her shoulders are a bit on the broader side while her fists can pack quite the mean punch. Her finger nails are also usually painted. However, contrasting to most ninja that also paint their nails, she uses a stark white rather than black or purple like most. A necklace can always be seen hanging from her neck.

CLOTHING) This kunoichi is apart of the Kessho clan. Because of this, she follows tradition and wears a specific uniform that many other members of the clan wear. Covering up her black, long-sleeved, fishnet shirt is the standard wool collared robe that many other Kessho members can be seen wearing. It is a dark blue color and bears the Kessho clan symbol on the back. However, unlike some, she does not tie her robe closed via rope nor leaves a bow in the back. The robe is left mostly open. While this might leave concerns as to whether or not that would be a good idea given the fact that she has a fishnet shirt on, underneath the fishnet is a black bellyshirt to prevent certain unmentionables from being seen. The robe ends at her knees-- just enough to cover up her black shorts, too. Megumi completes the outfit with the final touch of adding her hip pouch and black ninja sandals.

Personality:

HEART OF GOLD) It is not very hard to realize that Megumi is a nice girl. She goes out of her way to be polite with nearly everyone she comes across, intimidating or not. Even should you treat her poorly, odds are, she will still treat you with an alarming amount of manners. It isn't out of the ordinary to see her assisting someone and if you come to her needing help, she will do almost anything in her power to make sure you are taken care of. The kunoichi has a very low tolerance for gossiping and naturally strays away from insulting others. She would sacrifice herself to defend those she loves dearly, including the village, Konohagakure no Sato.

OPTIMISTIC) If you were to ask Megumi, "Is the glass half empty or half full?", she would without a moments hesitation tell you it is half full. She has confidence and a chirpy cheerfullness about her in regards to just about everything. Should you try to break her spirit for whatever reason, she will simply look at you with a scowl, insist that not everything is bad as it seems, and that perhaps you should try looking at things a bit differently. You can call the kunoichi a hopeful fool, but hey, she admits she would rather live her life that way.

GULLIBLE) Megumi is definietly a gullible person. However, she isn't really aware of this trait and often becomes somewhat flustered whenever people point it out. She is a bit too quick to put her trust in others and believes she is being told the truth naturally without even a sliver of suspicion. Because of this, it is nearly impossible for her to detect when someone is lying to her and makes it easier for others to decieve her. Whether it's because she's so polite or because her optisim blinds her from a making a more thorough judgement call, Megumi is just a gullible person. This also means she is more ready to believe certain things like Japanese mythology or Japanese superstitions.

TRADITIONAL) This kunoichi is quite knowledgable in regards to traditional Japanese culture. From preforming tea ceremonies, playing songs with a koto, and to putting together some of the most complex of kimonos; Megumi has experience with all of this and more. While this is an admirable trait, it can also make her come across as a bit of a know it all, especially when someone needs explaining of a certain something and she has the answer to it.

THE BACKGROUND.

History:

• On a warm spring morning, sixteen years ago, a mother gave birth to a baby girl. That baby girl was Megumi Kessho. She was a sole child, but completed the couple, thus the family of three lived happily within Konohagakure no Sato.
• Megumi spent most of her time with her mother during her very early years of life. She was a loving mother and simply adored her daughter, having no problem at all with retiring from her career as a tea house hostess to take care of her child. Megumi's father continued his line of work as a shinobi for Konohagakure no Sato, but spent as much time as he could with his family.
• It was around this time period that, sadly, Megumi's mother passed away. Reasons of her death were never discussed in front of Megumi and since she never questioned it, she was never told. Because her father still needed to maintain his position as a shinobi for Konohagakure no Sato, the young girl began staying over at her aunt's house more often than not. It was around this time that she met her cousin, Yuna. The three females would do various activities such as tea ceremonies, proper kimono preparations, and studying of traditional Japanese culture.
• Megumi and Yuna developed a very close relationship. The two girls were practically glued together. So, when Megumi's father took the time to begin more advance teachings to further their ninja abilities, they found it thoroughly enjoyable that both would be fantastic kunoichi fighting side by side.
• Soon, both of the girls were enrolled into Konohagakure no Sato's Ninja Academy. They continued to get along until it became a bit more evident that Megumi possessed more potential and was one of the more skilled kunoichi within the Academy, and certainly more so than her cousin. This sparked jealousy within Yuna and caused a rough patch in their relationship. A rivalry, albeit one-sided, was formed much to Megumi's displeasure.
• It was around this time that Megumi, along with her cousin, was promoted to Genin rank. Megumi, her father, her aunt, and her cousin all celebrated by going out. They all had a wonderful time together, even if the small rivalry between the cousins remained. This would be one of the last nights all of them were together as whole before the war between Konohagakure no Sato and several other villages erupted.
• Two years into being a Genin, the rivalry between the cousins intensified. Megumi, refusing to be an antagonist, began to focus on different things aside from Yuna. This included her newly assigned team as well as her very first crush, Sakumo Aburame. Unfortunately, this only made Yuna feel as if she was being ignored and she certainly didn't like that, thus the rivalry involved to the point that Yuna didn't even really like Megumi anymore. Megumi suffered in silence as her cousin looked upon her as an enemy and her team disbanded due to their sensei's death.
• Megumi's father was killed in action. Having lost both her mother and father, the kunoichi promptly moved in with her aunt and cousin.
• Yuna was strictly forbidden to fight within the war by her mother. Megumi received similar ruling by her aunt. However, the envious Yuna was determined to outdo Megumi, thus she joined the battlefield. Megumi could not allow this. Her cousin was very near and dear to her, whether she realized it or not. She chased after her cousin and ended up saving her life. This resulted in the loss of one of the kunoichi's eyes, as well as a stitching and various scars among her back. Yuna was forced by her mother to stay away from any Genin duties and was watched constantly at home. While the rivalry had faded off, Yuna still found herself holding something against Megumi and was reluctant to do anything with her, let alone carry on a normal conversation. This broke her the one eyed girl's heart.
• It was of great horror to the kunoichi when she heard of her former teammate, Sakumo Aburame, had also been in an incident during the war and was currently in a comatose state. She immediately visited him. She continued to visit him whenever she could, each time with an undying hope that he would wake up. The day he finally did pop his eyes open brought great happiness to her, so much, that she had to show an abundant amount of restraint.
• As her former teammate began to recover at a faster rate and was let out of the hospital, Megumi's aunt passed away. Yuna and Megumi obtained the house and proceeded to share it.
• Unfortunately, Megumi soon found herself captured by enemies. She had put up quite the fight but was overpowered in the end. In an exhausted and beaten state, she temporarily slipped into unconscious. The kunoichi later awoke in the arms of her former teammate, Sakumo Aburame, who was carrying her back to safety- Konohagakure no Sato. She was, much to her happiness, also welcomed warmly by her cousin. Yuna had realized her errors and deeply regretted treating her cousin the way she did. After all, Megumi was the only family she had left. Their relationship was instantly repaired.
• The war eventually brought itself to an end. Many had been lost, but being the optimistic person she was, Megumi would not allow it to break her. She eagerly awaits for what her future will bring.
