Personality:
Shigeko is distant young woman, she finds it difficult to connect with others who do not share similar views as herself and will quickly dismiss opposing ideas. Born as a noble, she looks down on those born outside the 1st ring, viewing them as lesser beings. The idea of blood purity is extremely important to her and to even consider the idea of a noble breeding with someone below their station disgusts her. More specifically she fervently believes in Kirigakure’s clan policies of protecting and keeping pure their prized Kekkei Genkai. Believing it her duty to keep other clan members pure she discourages her clan peers from interacting alone with members of the opposite sex if they do not share the same clan blood.
In her mind, the only way to purify the blood of those lesser than nobles is to either boil theirs sins away or eradicate them with her own pure blood. Therefore it is her belief that her Chiton ninjutsu is a gift that should be cherished and those she kills should be considered fortunate to touch greatness before their deaths. These beliefs stem in large part to the more religious teachings of the Jouchaku clan, following the old ways of purifying others through death and cleansing the world of those less deserving of life.
While Shigeko disdains those that are impure, when among her peers, she is capable of warmth and lasting friendships. Often she will keep her more radical thoughts to herself when meeting other clan members and she does not discriminate between noble family or clan loyalties, believing that any who possesses a KKG is of pure blood and all of Kirigakure’s clans are to be respected. Though while she holds each clan in high regard it is the fusion element clans such as her own clan and the Aisu that she holds in highest esteem. In creating an element unique to only a select few she sees great beauty and elegance of the type that a commoner or clanless could never hope to emulate.

SensoryShow
[Sensory Style • Beyond Senses]
C-Rank Ninjutsu
Prerequisite: 10 Control
This sensor technique is used by shinobi to feel chakra sources within a radius of 60 meters. While this jutsu is fairly helpful in sensing chakra, it is unable to actually pinpoint specific chakras outside of a 30m radius. This only gives the user an idea of how many chakra sources are present in their general area and a rough gauge on the size of each chakra source.
[Sensory Style • Target Lock]
C-Rank Ninjutsu
Prerequisite: [Sensory Style • Beyond Senses]
The sensor will activate a sensory technique and focus on one source of chakra. In doing so, the user will be able to continue to sense that source of chakra, even if they are moving around, so long as they are holding that target within range of their mind’s eye. If they, or the chakra source, moves out of range, the user will lose track of them. Once cast, this technique provides a sensory overlay to the user’s normal vision for up to [Control/5] posts.
[Sensory Style • Polarising Sight]
C-Rank Ninjutsu
Prerequisite: [Sensory Style • Beyond Senses]
The sensor will activate a this supplementary technique in addition to a sensory jutsu. By doing so, the user will be able to attune their sensory to mentally focus on or filter out particular chakra signatures in areas of dense chakra usage. This allows the user to isolate and identify different sources of chakra even if they are concealed within or behind an area of dense chakra, such as through chakra barriers or within a cloud of chakra-filled mist, so long as the dense chakra does not originate from the sensor’s target.
[Sensory Style • Spark]
C-Rank Ninjutsu
Prerequisite: [Sensory Style • Beyond Senses]
The sensor will activate this supplementary technique in addition to a sensory jutsu. For the next [control/10] posts, any time anyone within the range of their sensory beings to prepare a jutsu, the user will see their chakra “flare” momentarily. While this does not tell the sensor anything about the technique in question, it can give them a better view and understanding of the battlefield.

History
Historical AccountsShow
Jouchaku Shigeko was born to a family of strict values. Her mother was a well-respected retired Jounin and her father an active duty Special Jounin. Raised to always strive for excellence and indoctrinated in the ways of Kirigakure and the beliefs of her clan, Shigeko spent most of her childhood being lectured or otherwise told how to behave. She had an obligation, as noble of Kirigakure and a young woman with Jouchaku blood. From the time she could walk and talk she knew it was expected that one day she would be a talented shinobi, she would marry another Jouchaku and she would be pure, and those that weren’t would be cleansed from the world.
Her parents never beat her or even raised a hand at her. She had been taught to respect the strength of other Kirigakure’s shinobi but that she didn’t need to fight with her fists. Instead, she was encouraged to develop her Yugeton as young as her 4th birthday. Her parents constantly pushed her, giving her daily lessons and lectures to prepare her for her talents. She was expected to enter the academy as soon as she was eligible. Being an only child it was her duty to make her parents proud and to become at least as talented as her mother. If she didn’t at least match her mothers impressive career milestones then she was worthless and a failed daughter.
For months Shigeko agonized over what might happen if she never developed her talents. Young as she was she had heard her parents whispers and cold remarks about having to try again if she never got her talents. It wasn’t until nearly her 5th birthday that she finaly managed to produce a puff of steam, just a few weeks ahead of her mothers first Yugeton production. The relief was immense when her parents joyously celebrated her success, granting her a moment of happiness before the pressure was back as she was prepared for her entrance into the academy in the following year.
If she didn’t at least know the hand seals for each of the basic jutsu before she entered then surely she would be outshined by those with more natural talent than her. Fortunately, she had managed to adequately prepare and found herself able to keep up with the top 10% of her year when it came to tests and ninjutsu scores. Naturally, she lacked in physical competitions but managed to practice enough to gain passing marks basic shuriken and kunai use. Training among her peers in the first academy she was surrounded by other clan members and nobles from the 5 main families. Naturally, she fit in with the more refined groups, other Jouchaku, Aisu, Shiimu and Hirohito family members. The more barbaric clans were their competition but respected adversaries, and those from other schools were considered nearly as deplorable as shinobi of other villages.
Having made a few friends, Shigeko performed in the graduation ceremony at the age of 9. As recommended by her parents she stuck to the game plan, teaming up with her friends from other noble houses and quickly dispatching peasant and slave candidates until each of them had one kill to their name. At first the screams and blood of the dying scared her, it shocked her to see what their jutsu were actually capable of. But then she saw the beauty in her Shiimu friends genjutsu, the Aisu’s Hyouton spikes, and her own Yugeton. It was beautiful and it was pure. They had done a good thing and she felt proud of it when they celebrated afterward and her parents and her relatives showered her with praise.
For the next few years afterward, Shigeko delved into the study of Chiton ninjutsu. She had realized during the graduation test that there was beauty in blood and that she could use her own pure blood to help cleanse the world. There was no shame in her blood touching those lesser than her if she could purge theirs from their bodies and cleanse the remains with her steam. It was perfect really.
But when she was excited about such a discovery and showed her mother of her newfound talents, Shigeko’s mom slapped her for the first time. Chiton ninjutsu was beneath them and the blood of a Jouchaku was never to be removed form one’s body. At the age of 11, Shigeko was told to forgo Chiton and to develop her Yugeton. Her mother forbid her from seeing her friends who were deemed bad influences and Shigeko fell into isolation. During this time her father was largely away, spending much of her life fighting in the war. She knew in her heart that he would understand her, even if her mother didn’t but he never returned. Killed or went rogue she never knew, his body was never found after his unit had been almost entirely wiped out.
For the next two years, Shigeko did her best to follow her mom’s rules, doing everything in her power to be the perfect daughter. But in secret she continued to train her Chiton techniques, sneaking out when she could and practicing on animals while she spoke the truth of her feelings when she was alone, hoping somehow her voice would find her father. But that reassurance never came and she found herself growing increasingly overwhelmed by the pressure to be great and adhere to her mother’s expectations. Now, after reaching her 13th birthday, Shigeku finally accepted that her father would never return, that nobody would truly understand her and that she would have to embrace both of her talents in order to reach Chunin before the end of the year, as per her mother's achievement. If she couldn’t do that she would be on her own. And so, she decided that even if she had to associate with those lesser than her she would practice her talents and become strong at any cost.
Her parents never beat her or even raised a hand at her. She had been taught to respect the strength of other Kirigakure’s shinobi but that she didn’t need to fight with her fists. Instead, she was encouraged to develop her Yugeton as young as her 4th birthday. Her parents constantly pushed her, giving her daily lessons and lectures to prepare her for her talents. She was expected to enter the academy as soon as she was eligible. Being an only child it was her duty to make her parents proud and to become at least as talented as her mother. If she didn’t at least match her mothers impressive career milestones then she was worthless and a failed daughter.
For months Shigeko agonized over what might happen if she never developed her talents. Young as she was she had heard her parents whispers and cold remarks about having to try again if she never got her talents. It wasn’t until nearly her 5th birthday that she finaly managed to produce a puff of steam, just a few weeks ahead of her mothers first Yugeton production. The relief was immense when her parents joyously celebrated her success, granting her a moment of happiness before the pressure was back as she was prepared for her entrance into the academy in the following year.
If she didn’t at least know the hand seals for each of the basic jutsu before she entered then surely she would be outshined by those with more natural talent than her. Fortunately, she had managed to adequately prepare and found herself able to keep up with the top 10% of her year when it came to tests and ninjutsu scores. Naturally, she lacked in physical competitions but managed to practice enough to gain passing marks basic shuriken and kunai use. Training among her peers in the first academy she was surrounded by other clan members and nobles from the 5 main families. Naturally, she fit in with the more refined groups, other Jouchaku, Aisu, Shiimu and Hirohito family members. The more barbaric clans were their competition but respected adversaries, and those from other schools were considered nearly as deplorable as shinobi of other villages.
Having made a few friends, Shigeko performed in the graduation ceremony at the age of 9. As recommended by her parents she stuck to the game plan, teaming up with her friends from other noble houses and quickly dispatching peasant and slave candidates until each of them had one kill to their name. At first the screams and blood of the dying scared her, it shocked her to see what their jutsu were actually capable of. But then she saw the beauty in her Shiimu friends genjutsu, the Aisu’s Hyouton spikes, and her own Yugeton. It was beautiful and it was pure. They had done a good thing and she felt proud of it when they celebrated afterward and her parents and her relatives showered her with praise.
For the next few years afterward, Shigeko delved into the study of Chiton ninjutsu. She had realized during the graduation test that there was beauty in blood and that she could use her own pure blood to help cleanse the world. There was no shame in her blood touching those lesser than her if she could purge theirs from their bodies and cleanse the remains with her steam. It was perfect really.
But when she was excited about such a discovery and showed her mother of her newfound talents, Shigeko’s mom slapped her for the first time. Chiton ninjutsu was beneath them and the blood of a Jouchaku was never to be removed form one’s body. At the age of 11, Shigeko was told to forgo Chiton and to develop her Yugeton. Her mother forbid her from seeing her friends who were deemed bad influences and Shigeko fell into isolation. During this time her father was largely away, spending much of her life fighting in the war. She knew in her heart that he would understand her, even if her mother didn’t but he never returned. Killed or went rogue she never knew, his body was never found after his unit had been almost entirely wiped out.
For the next two years, Shigeko did her best to follow her mom’s rules, doing everything in her power to be the perfect daughter. But in secret she continued to train her Chiton techniques, sneaking out when she could and practicing on animals while she spoke the truth of her feelings when she was alone, hoping somehow her voice would find her father. But that reassurance never came and she found herself growing increasingly overwhelmed by the pressure to be great and adhere to her mother’s expectations. Now, after reaching her 13th birthday, Shigeku finally accepted that her father would never return, that nobody would truly understand her and that she would have to embrace both of her talents in order to reach Chunin before the end of the year, as per her mother's achievement. If she couldn’t do that she would be on her own. And so, she decided that even if she had to associate with those lesser than her she would practice her talents and become strong at any cost.
