Amaya Hikari-Ono

Basic Character Information:
Name: Amaya Hikari-Ono
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Clan: None

Looks:
Amaya is exactly 5’6 and weighs 146 lbs. She has brown-black hair and it’s pulled into a spiked ponytail in the back. A few strands of her bangs dangle on both sides of her cheeks. She appears rather pale, almost translucent. She has a 4 inch braid on the side of her head, it 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.

Amaya 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. Amaya also has a ration pack and pouch for coins or other odd baubles. She has one knee high boot with her village symbol attached to it just under her knee in a sewing pattern. Her other shoe consists of a basic ninja sandal with ribbon wrapped around the ankle and shin.

A scar can be located along the spine of her back from a tragic incident of youth. It healed easily, but it left leopard like splotches all down her back. She also has her clan symbol tattooed into her ankle on the left foot. Her 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 but is normally without. I’m guessing you don’t want to know any personal measurements, but her waist is 24 inches, her hips are 32 and her bust is 32 as well.

Her 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. Amaya 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 blue, then next minute a fiery red of battle.

Her muscles are double jointed and she can spring and bend backwards (Or forwards) to extreme angles. This makes her foot work better and her ability to dodge increased slightly. 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. Her eyes are an almond shape, and her pupils are usually dilated to better see in the dark or shaded areas.

Amaya 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. She also has about 20 freckles on the bridge of her Nose Bridge 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.

Personality:
Amaya’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. Amaya 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, Amaya can generally succeed at any task which she might undertake.
Amaya 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 Amaya generally take things very seriously, she also usually has an offbeat sense of humor and can be a lot of fun - especially at family or work-related gatherings.
Amaya 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 Amaya is able to see a good reason for stepping outside of the established mode of doing things, her personality will support that effort. However, Amaya more often than not, tends to believe that things should be done according to procedures and plans. If Amaya has not developed her Intuitive side sufficiently, she may become overly obsessed with structure, and insist on doing everything "by the book".
Amaya 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. Amaya 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. Amaya holds a large store of facts within herselves, which she has roped in through her certain reference. 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 Amaya 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.
Amaya 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.
Amaya 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 Amaya realized the emotional needs of those who are close to them, she puts forth an effort to meet those needs.
Amaya is very faithful and loyal. Traditional and family-minded, she will put forth great amounts of effort at making her home and family go smoothly. She is usually a good provider to her family. She cares deeply about those close to her, though she usually is not comfortable with expressing her love. Amaya will likely express her affection through action rather than words.

History and RP Sample


History:


~~BIRTH ARC~~


Amaya was born a week late, in the first days of spring. Her father was away on a mission as an Anbu, and did not know of her birth. Her mother Aniko died giving birth to her little sister Yuri 2 years later. Yuri and Amaya were raised by their mother’s family, since how her father’s family was massacred to near extinction in a clan war around 20 years ago. Her father’s family had eventually merged with her mothers to build up their strength again. The village Amaya and Yuri grew up in was small, and everyone took care of each other. This is where her familial and tradition instinct developed.

~~Academy Arc~~


It had taken Amaya several tries to become accepted as an Academy Student, at an older age of 12, though she had learned a few supplementary Jutsu by watching other ninja in her village, and learning from them. She had a head start on her class, and graduated 3rd in rank. During this period she hadn’t made many friends because of her lack of skill in social interaction. Amaya did however; get along very well with all the staff and teachers of thee Academy. Her little sister Yuri followed soon after and graduated 4th in her class because they had studied and trained together. Soon after she had entered Genin rank, and was working her way through the classes with relative ease. Though she had never gotten the hang of the Clone Jutsu, and still doesn’t. Eventually, she passed this class as well.


~~Chuunin Arc~~


Unlike before, her path to becoming a Chuunin would be quite hard. Physical tests and mental ones alike would try her sanity more than once. Following her Genin years, she had managed to gain few friends. Her ability to cope was tested when one of her closer friends from her birth village had fallen tragically ill two days before the Chuunin exams. It would have taken her a week to get back to her village walking.
Out of some miracle, the day after she heard the news of her friend, the deadline for the Chuunin exams had moved two weeks ahead. It took no longer than 10 minutes for Amaya to set off. In return from her village saddened with the death of her closest friend, she did not do very well in the exams. She did try again however, a few more times and eventually was accepted into the rank.




Rp Sample:


Though reflecting upon her abilities, Amaya had still seen herself as an insurmountable weakness to her village. She knew many things, and accomplishes many tasks, but she still had to learn something, though she did not know what. Today is for training not for self-pity…Though what am I training for? She had spent most of the afternoon trying to figure out what she should be trying to improve…Was it her weakness of never saying No?...Or was is that she was quite lazy and didn’t want to do anything…Ah I know… Why I don’t run up some trees? Bring back some old memories from the Genin days…She smiled at this thought and briskly headed out on a walk towards the nearest tree line for some catch up training, maybe this would help jog her insight…

Amaya had a few memories running through her head already, when she came up to a rather large oak tree. She could see some faded scratch marks about 20 feet up on the surface, and immediately compromised those scratches as hers, from her first try.

So long ago…Yet I could obviously beat it now, I was so different back then, so determined, There’s more than just one or two marks, there are hundreds…Her mind opened and her sight became clear at that particular moment; that was it! Determination… She needed determination… Though how, she needed to think of. Amaya strode quickly away from the tree, about 30 yards or so and sized it up. She remembered the tree being much bigger than this…maybe it had gotten bigger…She breathed in deeply, feeling the chilled morning air rush through her throat and to her lungs giving her energy a charge.

Next thing she knew, she had lowered her body, kicked off the ground in a puff of dust, and speeding towards the tree at a moderate pace of 13 miles per hour, without chakra enhanced speed it was difficult…Amaya was about 10 inches from the three trunk when she pushed down against the ground with one foot, and hit the bark with the other, a loud thunk sound resounding from the impact of both surfaces. It seemed like light years until she had finally brought her other foot down on the shell of that tree.
As soon as her second foot hit she was climbing up the tree with a bit of chakra, and almost all her lower body strength. The curve of her boot grated over all the dents from her previous escapades up the tree. Though one or two deep ones almost put her off balance and she wobbled slightly, she kept her speed up. This was about the time she started to wonder when the tree would end…Then suddenly she felt nothing but air beneath her feet. She twisted her entire body in mid air and turned her head to 60 yards bellow her, the ground, and the boulders looking like mere pebbles.

Amaya had only a few seconds of panic when she was twisting in mid air to react to the forthcoming doom of falling to the forest floor and breaking her neck. She reached out with her hands to grasp some kind of branch but found non of the kind, and instead of finding a grip she intended, her mind altered it’s objective and performed a three second Jutsu, her hands performing the hand alternations faster than she thought…It’s from the adrenaline…As soon as her inner conscience muttered these four words she had expelled a webbed, sticking string that had attached to all the trees within ten meters and she fell into the support web.

Her hands ached, and so did her body from the sudden concert of a Jutsu out of panic. Amaya had been breathing quite slow during the whole proceeding that she nearly lost her lungs to lack of oxygen. She took several deep breaths trying to calm down her racing heart beat.
Amaya bent over the side of the webbing to see about 2 yards underneath her, muttering a sigh of extol to the gods for not getting wounded at such a close call. She stood up, however unsteady, and having all the blood rush from her head to the rest of her body, which was still suspended into adrenaline. She cleared her throat, crouched slightly, and swung a leg over the side, and slid over the edge on her back, dropping to the ground below with a quiet tuff, and straightened herself, staring up at the tree wide eyed. I never even got to mark my reach on that stupid tree…
After all this had happened and the adrenaline had removed itself from her body, she was equally as tired as she was hungry.

Amaya had no urge to get up from her spot on a rather large, scooped in rock, and wander home. She hummed quietly to herself; obviously it was enough training for one day, though maybe she should have used dummies next time to practice better. Her determination not to die had helped her ‘not so much’ training sector of the day, and gave her a better understanding of what she needed to do in the future. Try harder, and only failure can help me win… Amaya smiled at this mental comment, and reluctantly slid down from her extremely comfortable rock, lifted her head to the sun, and calculated it was about lunch time, her stomach growling the whole way; she set off to on the shaded back trail that led back to the village. Mmm…Ramen sounds good right about now…
