Aisu Namie
General Information Age: 20
Gender: Female
Height: 5’9”
Weight: 134 lbs.
Physical Features: With near-waist length, silky black hair and flawless porcelain skin, Namie is a paragon of Aisu beauty. She has a soft, round face that makes her look slightly younger than her actual . Her youthful appearance is offset by her stunningly bright and sharp emerald green eyes, which often bear a thoughtful, if not cunning, glint. She is overall a slender woman, but she is rather heavy chested for her size.
Due to her shinobi training, Namie boasts a lean muscular figure. She has a few faint scars littering her torso, though she takes great care to treat any cuts on her face, arms, and legs to prevent them from marring her skin.
Clothing/Accessories: A fashion icon within her clan, Namie has a myriad of fine clothes. Her everyday wear varies from elegant traditional robes to stylish contemporary matching sets. She most often wears her hair with half in elaborate updos with the rest flowing freely down her back. When working missions, she trades her fine garments for a traditional Kirigakure flak jacket, a black bodysuit, and closed toed boots. At first glance her bodysuit is simple in design save for the cutout at her belly and below her hips. Upon closer inspection, the bodysuit has midnight blue Kirigakure symbols in repeating patterns on her torso. As a symbol of her loyalty to House Hirohito, Namie wears a silver band on the thumb of her right hand.
Personality: Namie is, above all, a proud woman. She carries herself with all the haught and sense of superiority that the Aisu clan is known for. Despite this, she is generally kind, polite, and patient - sometimes to a fault. She is compassionate and understanding, and is hesitant to harm others unless her pride is on the line. Since she is at heart a compassionate person, Namie often wears a mask of a cold, calm indifference as to not appear weak, which would reflect poorly on herself and her clan.
History
Historical AccountsShow
In a manner most befitting an Aisu child, Namie was born in the dead of winter to a prominent couple. On her father’s side, she is a direct descendant of the famed Aisu Shira, the Rokudaime Mizukage. Her upbringing was normal for an Aisu. She began her shinobi training at the tender age of five and was trained quite extensively in the Aisu clan sword style and in Hyouton. Although they subjected her to a spartan-like lifestyle at an early age, the girl’s parents were kind to her and spoiled her in every way imaginable. By the time she entered Academy One at age nine, she was outgoing, arrogant, and eager to become a top shinobi of Kirigakure.
Namie was an exceptional student. She was popular among her peers, but she avoided getting too close to her classmates. After all, before long they would all be pitted against each other for the graduation exam. Although reluctant to take a life, Namie completed the final exam by taking the head of one of her classmates who she didn’t particularly like since he had once insulted both the Hirohito and the Aisu.
As a genin, Namie’s education and training shifted. She was expected to still maintain her status as an active shinobi and become more proficient in taijutsu and ninjutsu. But at this point in her life she sought a new goal: become a prominent figure in the Aisu clan. Initially she dreamed of being the clan leader. But at the age of fifteen, shortly after becoming chuunin, Namie realized she had hit a plateau in her progress and such a position seemed far beyond her reach. Instead, she began to focus on making the right connections, honing her skills as a kunoichi, and marrying well within her clan.

Abilities and Concentrations

| Concentrations | |||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ninjutsu | HyoutonShow Hyouton has the ability to dynamically cool anything, rapidly decreasing the temperature of entities and areas via techniques and producing effects such as freezing, frostbite, and hypothermia. The temperature decrease, and the area they can decrease, is determined by the Control of techniques, with more talented Aisu able to create snap freezes that can kill with ease. Inorganic targets can be frozen to a depth of [Control/10] metres per post if the Control of the Hyouton technique is greater than or equal to the Strength of the object. Organic targets experience the scaling effects below, unless healed by iijutsu or countered by techniques, of equivalent Control to the cooling effect, that provide warmth to the affected area for an equivalent length of time:
SuitonShow Suiton Affinity A character with this concentration is able to utilize Suiton, and can make and use any custom or archived jutsu that require the Suiton affinity. Suiton has a passive enveloping effect. Passive (Enveloping)Show Suiton's effect is enveloping, meaning that suiton passively surrounds anything that it makes contact with. Suiton techniques that do not last over periods of times (i.e, exploding techniques) drench their opponents, but long term techniques will envelop anything they come in contact with and maintain a hold on it with the 3/4th strength of the technique, rounded down. This means that if a suiton wave is shot forward with 17 strength, it will envelope and move anything with it that does not have more than 12 strength to resist it. This allows Suiton to fill a very powerful role in eliminating tools from opponent's access and capturing targets. Ninjutsu: Advanced ChannellingShow This user has superb chakra control, and has learned to perform jutsu by channeling, without the use of hand seals. The user can channel any Ninjutsu that is designed to be channeled, and there are no specified parameters in which a jutsu must fall to be channeled by this method. | ||||||||||

This facilitates their use of related Taijutsu. Deft HandsShow The fundamental skill of [Deft Hands] indicates the user’s proficiency with using their hands in very specific and complex movements, like sleight of hand and targeting very small and specific points on an opponent’s body. This facilitates their use of related Taijutsu in various ways. StealthShow
The fundamental skill of [Stealth] describes the user’s proficiency in remaining silent, unseen and unnoticed as they go about tasks. This facilitates their use of related Taijutsu. AcrobaticsShow The fundamental skill of [Acrobatics] includes the user’s ability to contort their body into unfamiliar positions in order to avoid attacks, as well as the user’s ability to fall safely and perform Ukemi and other feats of gymnastics. This facilitates their use of related Taijutsu. PerceptionShow The fundamental skill of [Perception] describes the user’s practiced methods of more keenly focussing their senses for a short time.

Jutsu
HyoutonShow
~Frost Burst
D-Rank Ninjutsu
Holding a throwable object or weapon in one hand, the user will channel hyouton chakra into it to prepare this technique. Once thrown during the next three posts, the temperature of the item will rapidly drop until it explodes, shattering into frozen shrapnel with the force of a single tag upon impact or at a 'kai' release from the user.
~Morning Chill
D-Rank Ninjutsu
The user will inhale deeply and saturate their breath with hyouton chakra before slowly exhaling to perform this technique. As they breathe out, the area within a 15 metre radius of their body will rapidly drop in temperature to freezing conditions. This technique will freeze any natural moisture in the air or any airbourne particulates created with less [Control] and create a veil of ice that distorts vision in the area.
~Chilly Day
D-Rank Ninjutsu
The user prepares a quantity of hyouton chakra within one of their limbs or weapons to begin this technique, and then attempts to make contact with a target. Upon striking, the hyouton will surge through the point of contact and into the target's body, shocking them with a distracting burst of intense cold and taking their breath away.
~Ancient Wind
D-Rank Ninjutsu
The user channels a thin current of cooling hyouton into the air around them, mixing and weaving it around the warmer natural air to create a localised pressure differential and natural gusting wind. This can be used to push at and deflect airbourne entities within 10 metres of the user with [Control] strength, however is believed to be one of the oldest forms of hyouton ninjutsu ever devised by the ancient Aisu, who used it in a non-combat manner to master the waves and sail the oceans at speed.
~Arctic Soul
D-Rank Ninjutsu
The user channels a small pulse of hyouton chakra throughout their own body, carefully reducing and controlling their internal body temperature to prevent overheating through any external means. This jutsu has no range and can only cool down the user's body to the point that it can cause first degree frostbite on contact. This technique can last for five posts.
~Breath Away
C-Rank Ninjutsu
The user prepares a quantity of hyouton chakra within one of their limbs or weapons to begin this technique, and then attempts to make contact with a target. Upon striking, the hyouton will surge through the point of contact and into the target's body, shocking them with a painful burst of intense cold and rapidly cooling the air within their lungs, resulting in a loss of -3 strength of the next four posts.
~Frozen Breath
C-Rank Ninjutsu
The user will prepare a quantity of hyouton chakra into their throat to begin this technique, then exhale with icy breath onto an inorganic target. Any material within the area of the breath will be rapidly chilled to the point of brittleness, weakening it by [Control] strength.
~Frost Fire
C-Rank Ninjutsu
The user creates a circle in the air with motions of their arms or hands and unleashes a wave of prepared hyouton chakra through them at [Control] speed, attempting to intercept any katon or related techniques of equal or lesser strength. Upon making contact, the target technique will rapidly decrease in temperature to the point that it fizzles harmlessly out.
~Cryoshell
C-Rank Ninjutsu
The user prepares a shell of hyouton chakra around their body, bringing the temperature of an isolated pocket of surrounding air to subzero conditions for the next five posts. So long as the user does not move faster than [Control], they will retain the frigid air shell and be able to apply its cooling effects with taijutsu strikes or to incoming strikes that have a Strength lower than [Control].
~Tundra
C-Rank Ninjutsu
The user will prepare a large amount of hyouton chakra and unleash it into an area of ground within 30 metres of their location at a speed of [Control]. From the point of impact, the ground will rapidly freeze and turn into an icy tundra, spreading for up to 30 x 30 metres in a direction of the user's choice during casting. Plant life within this area will wither and die, the ground will become frozen to a hardness of [Control] strength, unable to be broken except by stronger techniques, and footing will become slippery and unstable for anyone without an appropriate traversal technique of equal or higher rank.
~Blizzard
B-Rank Ninjutsu
The user will channel hyouton chakra while inhaling, and then slowly exhale. Over the course of the next post, the temperature in a 60 meter radius of the user will rapidly drop to an extreme, biting cold, able to freeze bodies of water at [Control] speed. Any beings within the area of the technique will suffer from extreme exposure, with their bodies cramping, slowing, and shivering uncontrollably. Remaining exposed in this area for consecutive posts can result in a loss of coordination and a confused state of temporary amnesia as the cold begins to suffuse the brain. Additionally, katon techniques used in this area will cost 2x as much chakra to prepare.
D-Rank Ninjutsu

TaijutsuShow
SekisetsuShow
Sekisetsu Style [積雪 Falling Snow Style]
Developed by the Aisu and most recently popularised by Aisu Haruna, Sekisetsu was derived from watching snow flurries dance through the air. Sekisetsu involves constant swaying back and forth, while switching a bladed weapon from hand to hand, and from standard position to a dagger-like inversed grip position. Practitioners of Sekisetsu rarely stay still for longer than a few seconds during combat and are constantly surging back and forth in an attempt to find an opening in an opponents' defense. Sekisetsu can be used with a variety of weapons, but typical practioners prefer tanto, wakizashi, and/or katana.
Required Concentrations: [Sword Weapons], [Deft Hands]
*[Sekisetsu - Blade Shift]
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Blade Shift is a maneuver learned after hours of training, and allows the user to switch from a standard sword grip to a downwards dagger grip, and back again, seamlessly with either hand or between hands, and even in the middle of strikes or full maneuevers. This core element of Sekisetsu converts a practitioner into a highly unpredictable and opportunistic opponent.
*[Sekisetsu - Swaying Winds]
D-Rank Taijutsu Stance
The most basic stance of Sekisetsu, the user of Swaying Winds sways side to side, and back and forth, mimicking the way a snow flurry moves and preventing obvious telegraphing of movements or strikes. Opponents will find it incredibly difficult to interpret or predict the user's next movements unless they have a visual perception technique of equal or higher rank.
*[Sekisetsu - Leaping Winds]
D-Rank Taijutsu Manoeuvre
Prerequisite: Blade Shift
The user will bring their blade upward from their hip in a wide, diagonally arcing slash, before immediately flipping the blade and slashing back down along the same path.
*[Sekisetsu - Ambidexterous]
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Through hours of rigorous training, the user has learned to not only wield a blade in either hand, but has also learned to dual wield two blades at once in any grip position, and can adapt learned manoeuvres, stances, and disciplines to function with either or both weapons.
*[Sekisetsu - Snowblind]
D-Rank Taijutsu Manoeuvre
Prerequisite: Hyouton concentration
The hyouton practitioner blend chakra into their mouth and then attempts to spit in their opponent's eyes, using the super-cooled saliva to temporarily blind the target and afflict the target with frostbite. They will then immediately follow-up with an upward slash to the target’s abdomen.
*[Sekisetsu - Layer of Ice]
C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite: Hyouton concentration
The hyouton practitioner will run their finger or tongue along their blade in an intimidating fashion, while simultaneously imbuing the weapon with hyouton chakra. For the next six posts each strike of the blade will cause frostbite equal to the scaling strength of the user's [Control].
*[Sekisetsu - Shifting Blades]
C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite: Blade Shift; Ambidextrous
A staple of the Sekisetsu Kenjutsu style, Shifting Blades allows the user to swap weapons between grips, and shift them between hands while dual wielding, simultaneously without any delay, even in the middle of a strike or maneuver. The user has become so seamless and proficient in the action that this can often occur without an opponent noticing, with targets being unable to follow the switching nature of blade positions without a visual perception technique of equal or higher rank.
*[Sekisetsu - Shifting Winds]
C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite: Shifting Blades
As the wind shifts around any obstacle, so too do the user’s blades. Shifting Winds is the trained reaction of redirecting one’s own attack mid swing without losing momentum. Should the user’s Speed stat be greater than the target’s, the target will be unable to follow the movement.
*[Sekisetsu - Icy Hands]
C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Icy Hands is a technique developed for use when cutting or stabbing an opponent is not an option. The user will fold their hands around the blades of their weapons, with their thumbs resting on the spine of the blades. This allows the user to utilize the hilt of their weapons as blunt maces, without cutting themselves from holding the weapon in a strange fashion. Experienced users with a [Speed] in excess of an opponent's can also use this technique to safely counter incoming strikes by grabbing the backside of a swung blade.
*[Sekisetsu - Deflect!]
C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite: Shifting Blades
By constantly changing the grip on their blade, the user is able to deflect a multitude of projectile weaponry with minimal effort. If the user's Strength exceeds that of the opponent, deflected weapons can instead be directed right back at the opponent to counterattack.
