(I know it's not a very ninja-y song, but it's what I listened to while making her. So
that makes it something that influenced her creation, story, and an influence
on how I play her.
I ask that you listen to this song at least once, if you like this kind of music, so that
you can hopefully get the same feeling I was while making her.
Yes, music is a huge influence for me.)
(A much more fitting one. This song has two parts, so don't stop early.)
--------------------
Standing at a mere 4’ even, this lithe, young looking girl’s actions and clothing
Are more than enough to give away what she would call her ‘profession.’
Ninja.
Not an expert one of course. In fact, the small scroll she carries is not quite like
the others that many ninjas carry around. It does not hold any special markings,
souls, traps, etc… It just holds the notes she has decided to take in her years of
travels. When she was still a child, her parents began training her in their art.
Their hopes were that, when their daughter was old enough, she would explore
the world and face challenge after challenge to perfect her skills.
She was sent to trainer after trainer to diversify her abilities, but many sessions
were halted due to her age. Her masters had always seen their arts to be too
much for the young, no matter how much Mizuki or her parents asked them
to continue. But this also meant she was never given a chance to truly master
one particular style which has both benefits, as well as downsides.
With more years of training and the burden only growing on Mizuki’s small
shoulders, she was sent to yet another master who was also given the task of
looking after her while her parents were sent on an assassination mission.
It was only meant to be routine… One lowly thug who just needed to be wiped
from the Earth. But this man had a hit on his head for a reason. One of these
reasons had slipped from the details given to her parents. One that had cost them
their very lives.
This begins Mizuki’s story of revenge. One that, even to this day, she asks herself
why she pursues such a thing. She knows killing the man will not bring back
the two that cared for her. It may just bring her and others greater sadness if she
did manage to kill him. Yet, the memory of her receiving the news and the near
agonizing sadness that overwhelmed the inexperienced ninja nags at her…
Making her want to search for him once again.
At the age of ten, Mizuki left her master; the one who was told to look after her.
But he knew of her intentions, and told her she was not allowed to leave unless
she removed him from her path. She hesitated for less than a moment, which
lost her the opportunity to leave. Time and time again, she hesitated, not wanting
to hurt this person that was trusted by her parents. A person that had cared for her
so tenderly… But She also knew that her parents wanted her to broaden her
horizons… To find other people to learn from. And to do that… She had to kill
This man.
The next day, she did not hesitate.
Silently through the shadows, Mizuki searched. She overheard countless fruitless
rumors of a man that fit the description of the one she was searching for.
All throughout her travels, Mizuki joined many schools, dojos, or whichever term
was most widely accepted in that area. Most of which were not willing to accept
her, either due to her age, size or because she was taught a certain ‘rival’ style.
But that did not stop her. While she may not have been directly able to participate,
she was able to observe. Able to listen to the teachers instructions. Some instructors
had caught on to this inexperienced ninja’s acts, and would purposefully overwork
their real students in hopes to make Mizuki give up after finding their training to
be too difficult. Yet, she persisted, and the instructors plan backfired. Some were
no longer able to teach because their reputation was ruined.
Not all masters were like this, much to Mizuki’s own satisfaction. The majority
did not allow her, but there were a few that, after finding her strong determination
and sheer willpower, they allowed her to actively participate. Some schools
taught her patience, more than anything. Holding a long, thin sword in hand,
she went through the rigorous training motions, taking in the deep breaks,
sparring the other students… Whatever she was told to do. She was even seen
as a prodigy by some, since she could pick up certain styles so quickly. Before
long, she would even be sparring with her masters, going toe to toe with them,
only to come to a draw.
At times like this, she would disappear that night, sinking into the shadows, never to
be seen again.
Finally, after so much time spent searching, she found the very man she had been
looking for… The one she would take revenge upon this very day. The guards around
him fell one by one to her powerful strikes, but none were killed. They were not her
targets… Finally, as the last one had been brought down, she made her approach
to the man. But what she saw surprised her. It was no man… It was a boy. No
older than she was. He cowered in fear as she stood before him, tears streaming
down his face. Had she been wrong? Was this the man’s son or something?
Either way, she knew she could not kill him… How could he have been the
Culprit? Turning to walk away, torrents of blood were shed as a dagger had found
it’s way through her abdomen, sliding through her lithe form from one side to the
next entirely. The boy was a mirage… A cover. A grin… The most cruel grin she
had ever seen was facing her as the ‘boy’ disappeared, only to be replaced by a
young, rich looking man who held the blood drenched blade.
But his grin was replaced with a shocked expression as he felt his spine shattering
piece by piece. The Mizuki in front of him, which he had sliced in two, turned black
and faded into the wind. Behind him was the real one, her open palm placed directly
on the center of his back. She had sent a shocking force from herself, built up
from years of sadness, anger and pain… Releasing it with one precise, yet soft
blow. She could have made this man scatter for miles if she pleased… Yet, she
stopped herself short.
‘Perhaps it is best… If I make sure these men know they
no longer have to serve this man by giving them a body. His loved ones can
have a service…’
She was never given the opportunity to see her parent’s bodies, and Mizuki, in
every fiber of her being, wanted to make this man’s family suffer the same way.
But she also knew… That this is not what her beloved parents would have wanted
her to do. Why else would they send her to places that taught both the art of killing,
but also the ability to restrain oneself and show humility and mercy?
Drawing her hand back, the man instantly fell lifeless to the ground.
With one purpose in her life fulfilled, she pursues the only other one she knows.
The continue searching. To continue learning. To explore the world and face It’s challenges.
This is what her loved ones wanted, and she does not intend to disappoint them.

RP Notes
1
No, there is not a list of jutsu's for you to read. Sorry Naruto fans.
Her abilities will be explained in RP's.
2
Please check my alt list profile for preferences and such!
3
Just because the preferences are not listed in this profile does not mean nothing can happen.
4
Like my other battle types, she is meant to be 'power played.'
She is NOT invincible.
As usual, no one dies in my RP's unless the player wants their character to,
or it is a NPC.
5
Keep in mind that her skills are too diverse to have been mastered.
This is her strength, as well as her weakness.
6
I would like to keep her out of futuristic RP's.
7
Her inexperience can be taken advantage of for RP purposes. (Check further down.)
--------------------
As mentioned in Note 7, she is inexperienced. As a possibility for... 'Something else' to happen,
perhaps she is trying out a new ability and ends up doing something/ appearing somewhere
she did not plan to? I'm open to ideas. While parts of her are meant to sound a bit more
on the intimidating side, I do want to have fun with her... To let her be a person... To let her develop.
