Last Name: Nara

Personality:Yuko is a good natured, bright and friendly young girl who enjoys frolicking through daises, that is unless she catches sight or smells blood. When catching site or whiff of the blood of a human her alternate personality will take over her and she will lust for the blood of her enemies. Though her original personality acts exactly as you would assume a 14 year old girl would act, giggling about boys, always worrying about whether or not they looked nice, etc.
When her alternate personality takes over she almost the exact opposite as before, whereas while she is controlled by her normal personality, she is shy, but her alter ego is extremely aggressive. The alternate personality is not only triggered by the smell of blood as it can also take over when Yuko feels a strong enough attraction to someone which can tend to cause odd encounters. When she is on her period she much, much more cranky then an average girl her age due to the fact her alter ego keeps a very slight influence over her actions while she is going through her period.
Likes: Being the young, shy girl that she is Yuko tends to like girly things such as cute animals, or magazines filled with pictures of boys. Her alternate personality has an almost completely opposite set of interests, the main ones being death and pain. That being said, when she is in this state she enjoys slight pain and could even go so far as to be called a machoist. In this state she is also more lustful and will go out of her way just to flirt with boys she find attractive.
Dislikes: Being at such a tender age tends to cause Yuko to hate girls who have what she doesn’t, such as the ability to acquire boyfriends much easier than her. When she sees other girls enjoying themselves it tends to make her quite angry and jealous. Her alternate ego on the other hand hates what her good counterpart likes. She hates cute animals and magazines of boys, she prefers the real thing.
Motivation:She is motivated to find her father due to the fact that he disappeared during her childhood. He was presumed dead but she is hopeful that he is still alive somewhere in the world. After her father stopped the two men she was sure he had dealt with them but may have been injured so he was unable to get to the village. She would do almost anything to get information about her fathers whereabouts.
Fears: While her normal personality is quite afraid of things such spiders her alternate ego seems to love them, even going as far as to hold them. She also fears large insects and may screech slightly at the site of them. She is also quite afraid of snakes as they tend to be dangerous.
Nara Bloodline: Kurayami no sōsa
(Darkness Manipulation - 暗闇の操作)
Bloodline Ability: Members of the Nara clan are able to freely manipulate the shape of their own shadows, this manipulation is ONLY for shape and not size. A member can take their shadow and form it into an unnatural state from anything such as a circle to an intricate design to a single thin line so long as the original size is not exceeded but the shadow is able to extend through other shadows to make up for length. So, say you shadow has a surface area of 10 feet and you want to make a straight line one foot wide, normally your shadow would be 10 feet long but if say a tree branch shadow that's a foot across is in your path then your overall shadow length would be 11 feet.
Location: Arashigakure
Clan History: The Nara were once a very proud people that lived in harmony with nature, breeding deer in the forests for medical purposes and discovering new medicines all the time. This peaceful existence however was ended when the world fell into the chaos of war brought forth by the legendary Senso Kinzoku nearly 500 years ago. The Nara were one of many clans conquered by the warlord and after his passing were one of the few that agreed to stay with the Kinzoku in order to form the hidden storm village as an official shinobi outpost. Their wisdom and guidance has kept the village from plunging into darkness many times and for that they are shown gratitude by often being seated among the village council after retiring from the shinobi lifestyle. Despite their now peaceful relationship with each other the Nara and Kinzoku still share a rivalry, some say this is from their conquered history while others speculate that it stems from both specializing in manipulation. One with physical substance and the other non-physical substances.
History: Yuko was born into a loving family full of shinobi of Arashigakure. She was nurtured and cared for greatly up until she was 3. This was when she would be mentally scarred for life as a masked man had infiltrated the village in order to murder members of the Nara clan. The man was quickly caught and captured and was to be executed but it just so happened that Yuko was walking to her mother’s bedroom to ask for a glass of water when she passed by what was going on. The man saw her and right before he died placed her into a horrible genjutsu filled with bloodshed and death. Being at such a young age she fell into a coma for 3 days and awoke seemingly normal. Her parents were just happy that she was safe and they raised her as if nothing had ever happened. By the time she was six she was already interested in going to the academy to become a shinobi so her parents taught her some basics about throwing weapons and such. By the time she was 9 she was ready to enter the academy.
With a few ninja skills already under her belt the beginning of the academy was quite easy for her and she quickly advanced to the higher classes graduating at the age of 11. Due to some trouble with her father’s gambling debts she and her family were forced to leave the village. They traveled on the roads moving from village to village like nomads in order to keep away from the debt collectors sent after her father. One day as they approached Harikenogakure they were stopped by 2 men. The two men demanded either money or they would kill them all and take their bodies back to Arashigakure. Yuko’s father quickly caught them in a shadow possession jutsu allowing for Yuko and her mother to escape you Harikenogakure, where they stayed out of fear. Due to being in a new village Yuko had to go through the academy once more. The academy of that village was slightly different than the one in Arashigakure but the main problem that occurred was when she began to see the blood of people and her alternate ego began to show up and frighten the other students. After about 2 years she passed that academy as well and was made a genin. She is currently 15.
RP Sample: Bzzzzzzzzzzz....... Bzzzzzzzzzzz......Bzzzzzzzzzzzz
With a loud groan Shuzo smacked the off button on his alarm clock signaling the beginning of another long boring day. With a heavy sigh Shuzo slowly got out of bed to start on making breakfast."What to make.... what to make". He quickly went over what he had in the fridge and in the pantry only to find out he was out of food, as usual. The only thing he could find was a small box of Frosted Mini Wheats, only big enough for one bowl. As he poured himself a bowl of delicious cereal he couldn't help but notice that his alarm clock had gone off an hour later then it should and that he was late for patrol, again. Ever since he had gotten to Sunagakure he had taken on the persona of being a lazy delinquent. To him it was a nice change from the goody two shoes perfect role model that he normally acted as. After finishing his bowl of cereal he quickly got dressed. With Sunagakure being so dang hot he had been forgoing wearing his suit jacket. He grabbed a random, bright colored, short sleeved shirt and got dressed. He needed to get to patrolling quickly or the Kazekage would kill him.
Upon walking outside he was blinded by the blazing sun which had already began baking everything in the desert. He still hadn't gotten used to walking outside just to be blinded for around 30 seconds. The sun was so much brighter than in kirigakure when you could barley see or feel it at times. He slowly walked down the market district's roads looking for any signs of trouble, occasionally stopping by a shop to make small talk. Even though he hated talking to people he had to make it seem like he was really concerned for the well being of the village. He still hated every single person he passed or walked by. As he approached the entrance to Sunagakure he couldn't help but hear the screams of pain from the jounin stationed there. Intrigued he began to walk slightly faster then before in an attempt to find out the cause of those worthless screams. When he arrived at the gate he saw a strange looking man in a black robe with red clouds on it standing around the corpses of jounin, hiding his face behind a large straw hat.
When Shuzo confronts an enemy strong enough to kill several jounin with ease he drops his persona almost immediately, this was no different. With a cold, almost uninterested tone he asked the man" So why are you here killing people for fun. I would assume someone like you would have something better to do then come play in the sand. It's not exactly the best place to take a vacation.
