Nomura, Sachiko
Sachi

My day isn’t done unless I’ve learned, taught, or laughed.

General Information Age: 19
Gender: Female
Height: 4’10”
Weight: 100lbs
Physical Features:
  • Face/head: Considering Sachi’s size, her features tend to hide her age rather well. Her hair, usually kept up in a ponytail or braided down her back, reaches just below her elbows. The light brown is almost dotted with speckles of almost gold, natural, highlighting, showing off a fine texture. Sachi’s eyes seem reminiscent of the blueish greens of the waters seen in calmer pools found around parts of the River Country’s waters. Since most of her youth was spent working hard in a field or hunting for her family’s next meal, her skin has a warmed, almost golden brown hue to it, with only a couple tiny blemishes in the form of scars. All little reminders of the dangers within a forest. With all that in mind, she usually carries a smile, warm and inviting.
  • Body: Sachiko is tiny for her age, but that size is a trap. Hidden within that tiny stature, is a strong frame descended from folks of Dwarf Country. She’s built proportionately, both for as much strength as her size will allow and the speed she tries to compensate with. Lean muscle hidden under soft, barely marked skin.
  • Notable Features:----
Clothing/Accessories: Sachi dresses for utility and comfort. Typically, she can be spotted in a slightly fitted t-shirt, well worn and fitted jeans, boots, and messenger backpack. If the weather calls for it, her go-to’s for “bad” weather are usually unremarkable jackets and hats. Beyond clothing, her typical accessories are a pair of worn work gloves that are usually sticking out of her back pocket and a multitool pouch that is always on her hip. The pouch itself seems fairly old and worn out with stitching here and there to show patch jobs.
Personality:
  • General: She is almost always ready for an exchange of pleasantries. If she’s not, it’s likely that she was just caught daydreaming about something. Sachi, while not necessarily the overtly outgoing type like her parents, is typically never in the company of strangers. She will gladly make little side comments about life or something she observes to possibly coax a smile from a stranger. A bookworm and artist at heart, she enjoys finding the beauty or deeper meaning to things. Whenever Sachi claims someone as a friend, that’s it. She’s the kind to go out of her way if she finds out a friend is in need. To top it off, it’s one of the few ways to pull an aggressive reaction from her, to go after a friend. Which, when coupled with her personality of “never knowing a stranger”, can be somewhat precarious for the woman. Oh, was it mentioned she doesn’t like short jokes? That’s the other way to get an aggressive rise out of her. Because of how she grew up and having been sick a few times as an infant, her growth was stunted. So, don’t poke at her size… she’ll poke back… maybe with a fist.
  • Hopes/Dreams: The stereotypical, she wants love. She wants to find a new family to add to hers. Whether that be in the form of friends or a partner. Stability, as that was not always something she knew growing up in the harsh lands of River Country. Being able to have a day off every now and again sounds like pure heaven, to her.
  • Fears: Getting sick and being truly alone.
  • Combat Mentality: Combat isn’t Sachi’s first go to, but she’s not afraid of getting into it. Strike fast, strike hard. She has two mentalities for fighting, one for real world application and one for sparring. In the real world, unless she thinks it will get her killed, she almost never strikes first. If she thinks the attack could be a killing blow, she will attempt to strike from a counter as her size does hinder her strength comparatively. At which point, she goes for quick blows with the most impact for least effort. When sparring, she tends to lean a little more on the aggressive side. Always being teased left her with a bit of a complex and need to almost overcompensate.

*Kūgāpou • Slight Dodge
D-Ranked Taijutsu Maneuver
Whenever in a situation where they can't avoid being struck, the practitioner will slightly shift their body. This slight movement allows them to cause the incoming attack to miss any vital organs and cause as little damage as possible.

*Kūgāpou • Down Paw
D-Ranked Taijutsu Maneuver
Whenever a bladed weapon is coming towards the practitioner, they can slam their palm against the top of the blade, pushing it downwards. This can either cause the sword to miss or, if the practitioner's Strength is equal to or higher than the Strength of the attack, can force the sword into the ground. This technique only works on blades that aren't double-edged.

*Kūgāpou • Soft Paws
D-Ranked Taijutsu Maneuver
Soft Paws is a bare-handed deflection technique and is used against bladed weapons. At this level, the practitioner is able to read the angles of the attacks to place the flat of their hand against the flat of the blade and push it away without getting cut by the weapon. However, prolonged use of this technique will cause the practitioner to suffer bruises on their hands.

*Ochiba • Ambidexterity
D-Ranked Taijutsu Discipline
After practicing for a long amount of time with the concept of using both of their hands with equal skill, the user has developed a level of ambidexterity that allows them to utilize both hands equally and as effectively without any penalty. This extends to other methods of combat or simple everyday life as well.

History
Historical AccountsShow
Sachiko was born to a family in a small village found in River Country. By all regards, they had a hard life. She was one of the youngest of four children, but, sadly, the only one to survive past the age 5. When her youngest sister passed, she had also been on the verge of death. Her parents attributed her survival to being saved by the spirits of the rivers because river water was the only thing she could keep in her tiny body during that sickness. When they tried to feed her anything else, her body rejected it almost immediately. Ever since, she never caught a cold again.

As she aged, her parents noticed her growth was much slower than expected. Once she was about 9 or 10, she pretty much stopped growing entirely. This was something that concerned them slightly as they worried it meant she would be weaker in constitution. Their worries were abated when she seemed to grow in strength or speed, instead. While she would never be as strong as the others her age, her size meant she was faster. No kids were able to catch her when playing tag. This led to her learning to fish more instead of hunting other game for food.

Fighting and harsh conditions began to grip the land more as time went on. Her parents also grew ill, likely the same thing that took their 3 other children. Unfortunately, at the age of 13, they both passed. For a couple years, she managed to survive alongside her villagers. She learned to use her other senses and skills to her advantage when hunting. This, in turn, meant she was able to bring in larger kills than just fish on occasion. She wasn’t the best, but she would regularly run circles around some of the old hunters. Literally, on occasion, just to prove she could.

When news reached the village of New Tea being founded, some curiosity sparked. Many of the villagers she had grown around had either passed on or left for the bigger towns. Word was, there was going to be a school for people to not only learn book knowledge, but how to actually fight. This peaked Sachi’s curiosity to its highest point, yet. So, she packed her things, wished the villagers goodbye, and headed toward New Tea. Once there, it was exactly like she’d hoped. Bustling with people, all sorts of sights and smells, the sounds of so many voices left her reeling with a smile. It wasn’t long before she managed to find out how to enroll with the academy and start her education.

It took almost a year for her to become completely literate and another 3 years to complete her education. But, finally, she had graduated. She wasn’t the best, but far from the worst. All her teachers had marked her as more of a social personality with less of a fighting spirit. Well, unless provoked. Which, thankfully, never really happened. A couple times when she was teased about her size, she’d end up with some sort of punishment. It only took a couple times of someone teasing her for it to stop happening all together in school. Her teachers did note, however, she had a decent amount of chakra for someone not of ninja family.

She would regularly tell them it was because the river spirits saved her as a child. They would typically scoff and brush the comment off, but it was something she truly believed. In her Taijutsu training, she had always found the concept of flowing like water around an opponent a simple thing to imagine. Was she the best at it? No, but she could SEE herself doing it easily enough. This was also when she discovered a strange affinity toward animals. It was almost like the training to understand the control and flow of chakra opened something in her mind. She would sometimes try to mimic how animals would move when they fought or moved. Her tracking ability grew sharper, allowing her to bring in more to sell at market.

Now that she had graduated, she felt it time to do more for those that had given so much to her. Time for her to fully start adulting and bringing more to the world. But, what could she do? Who would she meet? Would she end up having to fight in a war like some of her old classmates? She didn’t like fighting, but she disliked seeing people get hurt even more.
