Ginde, Arashi
銀手 嵐

[Live the Illusion]

General Information Age: 14
Gender: Female
Height: 160 cm
Weight: 55 kg

Physical Features: Arashi is slightly heavier than would be expected for a girl of her age and height, however, this weight takes the form of lean musculature, all sinew and strength. Whilst she is of decidedly average height, the particulars of her athletic build give her the appearance of maturity beyond her years. Such an illusion of age is further detailed in her facial features, hazel eyes sit deep within her head, obscured by dark bags under them. The rest of her features are equally sharp, giving her an appearance crafted out of angles and harshly defined bones.

Her hair is charcoal, a few shades shy of a true black, and takes a slightly lighter tone when exposed to the direct light of the sun or the moon. Whilst long, it is almost always tied up into a tail or a bun, with its harsh texture allowing for it to more easily hold its place. Similarly, her skin is dark. In part due to its natural tone, but more so due to a tendency to tan, in spite of the mists that envelop her homeland.

Lacking in obviously defining features, Arashi often holds herself in such a way that she appears almost still, giving her a decidedly less extravagant and eye-catching appearance than many of her compatriots.

Clothing/Accessories: Arashi dresses in simple, moveable clothing, mostly of dull and drab colours. In spite of their lack of decoration and fanfare, the clothing is most regularly of a decidedly modern make, with ancient and more traditional garb forsaken for that which is more efficient. Her head-protector is tied around her bicep, where it is best kept out of the way.

For missions, she will wear a simple hooded shirt without sleeves, together with a pair of leggings. Both are taupe in colour, however the shade of the legwear is darker than that of the top. Around her waist, Arashi wears a loose brown belt, in spite of her pants not requiring it. At this belt, several pouches are clipped, containing her weaponry and other such required equipment. Other incidentals are on occasion tucked into her soft-leather boots.

Personality: Outwardly, Arashi is ever-calm and polite, silent unless spoken to and carefully measured in how she observes and considers situations. Her language is formal and she is often shows deference to those who are her superiors in terms of rank and in terms of social standing, be it by caste or by prestige. However, such a personality is an act, a carefully practiced and rehearsed ruse to which she has dedicated years. In truth, much of her silence is out of fear of exposing her true intentions and personality, and she is constantly focused and fearful of maintaining the facade. Beneath the surface, Arashi is tumultuous and proud, prone to passion and anger. However, familial obligations and an ambition to succeed have seen her bury such outbursts and her true feelings, allowing them only to surface where she is certain it is safe to do so. As such, she walks a constant tight rope, her stress and the pressure of such causing her to appear even more withdrawn and up-tight.

Where her true feelings are allowed to expose themselves, are in battle, where she is a firm believer in the power of the decisive strike. Often she will hold back, not entering the fray or committing until she can be sure that her actions will be successful. At such a time, she will launch an attack aimed to be decisive and powerful, lest her opponent be able to take advantage of an opening she created.

All of this is in service to her primary goal, to ascend the ranks of shinobi in spite of her coming from the merchant caste. The social climbing desires of her parents have been thrust upon her, and to that end she has been raised to withstand the scrutiny associated with defying the caste system. At her core, she longs for freedom from the pressure she finds herself under, but she cannot, and will not, allow herself to admit such a thought to herself. The fear of failure at the task to which she has been set guides her every movement, her every goal and intention. Her ambition is powerful, but it is not raw.

D-Rank:
[b]*[color=#CDC1C5][Genjutsu • When Pigs Fly][/color][/b]
D-Ranked Illusion Genjutsu
A rather simple genjutsu that is put into place when the user says a statement ending in "When Pigs Fly". Seconds later, anyone who hears the user say that will see several pigs with full hawk wings fly past, just a few feet above the user and the victim’s head, serving as a somewhat confusing distraction.

[b]*[color=#CDC1C5][Genjutsu • Pins and Needles][/color][/b]
D-Ranked Illusion Genjutsu
After performing the hand seals and pricking the opponent with some sort of small weapon (usually senbon), the opponent feels their arms and legs fall asleep. It feels as if the blood flow to these appendages has basically stopped, making their movements a tad sluggish and just all around uncomfortable. This jutsu doesn’t really hinder a person, but it makes everything they do feel off. For those who are attuned to the way their body feels during battle, it can be extremely distracting. Lasts 3 posts.

[b]*[color=#CDC1C5][Genjutsu • Smell Of The Deceased][/color][/b]
D-Ranked Illusion Genjutsu
After performing the necessary hand seals, any victim that sees the user preforming the hand seals will be induced under the genjutsu. This causes the target to begin to smell rotting flesh and decaying bodies. The jutsu can cause nausea and vomiting from the target, depending on how sensitive their sense of smell is. The smell of the dead can also cause some mental stress on the target. This genjutsu lasts for three (3) posts.

[b]*[color=#CDC1C5][Genjutsu • Paranoid][/color][/b]
D-Ranked Illusion Genjutsu
The user will do a series of hand seals, then whistle. Anyone who hears the whistle will be captured in this genjutsu. For the following 4 posts, the target will see a shadow in the corner of their eyes, constantly shifting out of view when they attempt to look at it.

[b]*[color=#CDC1C5][Genjutsu • Boom!][/color][/b]
D-Ranked Illusion Genjutsu
The user will do a series of hand seals, then within the next post, snap their fingers. Anyone who hears the snapping will hear an explosion in the distance behind them. This works as an effective distraction, or a scare tactic, if properly utilized.
C-Rank:
[b]*[color=#CDC1C5][Genjutsu • Doubt][/color][/b]
C-Ranked Status Genjutsu
The user will do a series of hand seals, then whistle, initiating the genjutsu in anyone who hears the whistle. For the next three posts, the victims of this technique will feel tinges of doubt when listening to other people talk. While the doubt isn't strong, it creates a slight feeling that can be used to dissuade them from following instructions of other people if utilized properly.

[b]*[color=#CDC1C5][Genjutsu • Demonic Illusion • Hell Viewing][/color][/b]
C-Ranked Illusion Genjutsu
This is a genjutsu technique that causes its target to see a horrifying vision. The ninja will perform some hand seals and make eye contact with the target. Once cast, the world will appear normal to the target until they see the illusion. The illusion is at the discretion of the user. However, they can only make a stationary image, or a visual loop, not a controllable visual illusion. Examples would be a decapitated head on a table, or one of their friends running in circles on fire. This illusions may only last up to 4 posts, or until the user ends the jutsu themselves. As a note, this only effects sight.

[b]*[color=#CDC1C5][Genjutsu • Burning to Death][/color][/b]
C-Ranked Illusion Genjutsu
This is a genjutsu technique which can be used in quite a few ways. The user forms a hand seal, and as long as the opponent(s) see it, then the genjutsu will begin. The user and the opponent(s) will both light on fire and start to burn, from the feet up to the head, in the opponent's mind. The opponent will normally start to panic and try to get rid of the fire, especially since they feel as if they were in actual pain. This genjutsu lasts for 4 posts and will not appear to be able to be extinguished, no matter what the victim does. The illusion is very static, in the sense that it doesn't change with the environment, it merely creates an illusory flame and pain.

[b]*[color=#CDC1C5][Genjutsu • Reverse Hypnosis][/color][/b]
C-Ranked Status Genjutsu
This is a three post genjutsu. To start the genjutsu, the ninja does the hand seals that are needed and then places a hand on the target. Until the genjutsu ends the target is able to remember a lot more about their past and has a lighter barrier over their consciousness making it easier for them to spill information. This doesn’t weaken their will, however, meaning if they are aware it’s a genjutsu, they are more than capable of using Kai.

[b]*[color=#CDC1C5][Genjutsu • Dull Pain][/color][/b]
C-Ranked Status Genjutsu
The user does the needed hand seals, and then locks eyes with the target to trap the target in the genjutsu. For the next 10 posts, any pain that the target feels as if nothing really happened, effectively lessening all pain and nerve responses. The target would still be damaged, but any damage done to them would feel as though it is far less severe than it actually it, and as such they will usually overestimate their own stamina.

History
Historical AccountsShow
The Ginde family is both wealthy and successful, generations of ventures and alliance-weaving have seen them grow in influence and expand the funds available to them. However, such success is tempered by a simple fact, the way in which they have achieved it. Through trade and through shipping. For they are of the merchant caste, sworn to the Karagata family. Despite the material available to them, their social status always contained an inherent ceiling. One that they were content to remain within, slowly expanding business ventures and investing in other merchants, until the most recent generation.

Ginde Arashi is the second daughter of the first son of the head of the family, and one of the only scions of the line to have any skill in chakra. Whereas others who had previously shown talent had contented themselves with their lot in life, her father had long since held ambitions of his own. An opportunity to expand the legacy of his family in such a way that they could change their fortune as a whole, a way to social climb and ascend the caste system itself. As such, Arashi was entered into the academy, financial investment and her natural affinity providing her a spot.

As a student, she was decidedly average, and found herself surviving her status as a merchant caste shinobi hopeful by allowing herself to fade into the background. Ever polite, ever deferent, ever working toward her goals in spite of it all.
