In'nen Tenmei General Information
|:+:|PersonalityGeneral: Tenmei was a bright girl before her capture, full of life and vitality. She was a social butterfly, always making friends and just bouncing about with energy. In the academy she would always make sure no one was left out during fun activities, always wanting everyone to be included. She made precious few rivals and even those started to come around to her kind and energetic nature. She was just a personality everyone could love.

After her capture and escape, Tenmei is an entirely different person. She is reclusive and skeptical of everyone she meets, fearing that the next person she meets will be the one to drag her back. She is aggressive and standoffish, meeting kind personalities with painful jabs and verbal insults. She has become more violent as well, willing to fight anyone she thinks could be a danger to her freedom and overall well being.
Hopes/Dreams: She hopes to one day return to the person she once was and see the place she called home once more.
Fears: Enslavement
Combat Mentality: Survival. That is all Tenmei thinks about during combat. And more oft than not, the only way to win a battle and ensure survival is to make sure your enemy no longer draws breath. During combat she is less driven by instincts and instead is able to think very clearly and map out multiple strategies in order to defeat her enemy and make sure she lives to see another day.
|:+:|AppearanceBody: Tenmei is somewhat of a slight girl, more gaunt now because of her time in captivity. Her body is by no means willowy or thin, she has a figure with curves at her hips and chest that are starting to fill in as she comes into her maturity. Though she is not the most physically imposing, muscles lie under the surface of the girl's fair skin, allowing her to catch her enemies off guard with her strength. She has delicate facial features, with icy almond shaped blue eyes, full lips and eyelashes, and a petite nose. She has a rather large volume of blood red hair that is difficult to maintain. Her tresses fall to her shoulders and nearly eclipse them completely, her hair requiring her to keep it up in order to keep it out of her eyes.
Clothing: Tenmei's attire is rather simple. It is comprised of a black short sleeved shirt, black pants, a grey belt with three pouches on the right hip and two holsters on the left that seems a few sizes too big, a pair of black sandals and a simple black hooded coat. These clothes seem to be worse for wear and covered with dirt as well as a few rips and tears.
|:+:|History
Joy and BlissShow
Tenmei was born into a small family within the Military class of Kirigakure no Sato. Her father, Yakin, was a ninja and her mother, Sukuna, was a cloth merchant. She had one other sibling, her brother Aoko, whom she got along with well. Her parents raised her well, teaching her and her brother to be kind to others even when others may not have been kind to you. She loved her parents dearly, and wanted to make them proud. Her academy life was fairly easy, she had many friends so she was never and outcast and lessons came easy to her. She graduated the academy with ease when the time came and became a genin, joining a team and trying her hardest to do right by her parents.

When she was young, Tenmei would often travel to other small villages within the country to sell her wares and she loved it. As Tenmei entered the academy and began her training, these outings became less frequent, but were still lovely treats. When she came home from training with her team at the start of one weekend, her mother had offered to take her on one such trip. It was to a village relatively close to Kiri and it wouldn't take that long to reach. Tenmei agreed enthusiastically and they left soon after. They reached the village within a few hours and her mother set up her stall in the market and began to sell her wares. The villages loved her stall and bought the beautifully patterned cloths with earnest. When her mother was ready to pull up shop, half her wares were sold and they had made a hefty profit. They still had one day to stay within the town, so Sukuna had decided to stay at a small inn for the night. Tenmei couldn't help but note how inviting the inn seemed, it felt like home almost immediately. The mother and daughter pair sat in the common room, watching people socialize and sing and have a good time. Sukuna had ordered two ciders for her and her daughter and Tenmei was happy when they arrived. The girl took a few sips of the warm, enticing drink and began to notice herself becoming more and more tired. She sat down her cup and placed her head in her mother's lap. It would be okay if she slept for a few minutes.....
Innocence LostShow
Tenmei awoke some time later with a pounding headache in a dark room. As her vision adjusted to the darkness she noticed that the place was devoid of any decoration, other than the pile of raggedy blankets she was laying on and a bucket in the corner. She was confused. Where am I?, she thought, Where is my mother? She stood slowly, minding the pain lancing through her head and walked to a parker patch in the nearby wall. She touched it, feeling the smooth metal beneath her fingertips and knew that it was a door. Then a dark feeling settled upon her. She was trapped and she didn't know where. Maybe someone would come if she yelled. She opened her mouth and began screaming at the top of her lungs for help, banging on the cold unrelenting metal of the door. She did this for what seemed like hours, until her hands ached and her throat was burning from the effort of yelling. When she finally realized no one was coming to help her, she began to cry. She sank to the ground with her back against the door and cried. When her body started to become stiff she moved back to the pile of blankets, crying until she fell back into the warm embrace of sleep.

The next time she opened her eyes, it was the result of a large boot connecting with her ribs with enough force to shatter them. She woke gasping, stars exploding behind her eyes as she scrambled for breath. She looked at the boot then followed it up to the leg then the face of the one who had dealt the blow. The man was ugly, with a pock-marked face and whispy hair that actually made the large scar that decorated his cheek look common place. He looked like a classic scumbag. The man's voice was gruff as he spoke to her, but she barely heard him. This time he pulled her up by her hair, bringing their faces close together, so that she may hear. His voice stank of alcohol as he spoke "Did you not hear me girl or are you just stupid? I asked you your name." She found it hard to speak past the dryness in her throat but she managed "My name is Tenmei..." He didn't deserve her last name, though he seemed satisfied as she told him her first. He let her go, the young girl dropping to her hands and knees for a small moment before she was back up. She rubbed her ribs and the man pushed her towards the now open door "The name's Aku. But you may call me Master. Walk. I am taking you to eat." At the mention of food, her mouth began to water. She just now realized that she was absolutely ravenous with hunger. She walked out of the room as commanded and Aku followed. He closed the door and began to walk down the long hallway. The hallway was filled with doors much like the one to her cell, where there others here? Then the man began talking again "You will eat before your work starts, then you will begin your work day. After your work day is over you will be allowed to eat again before returning to your cell. If you are caught slacking an extra hour will be added onto your work day. If you slack too much, you may not eat at all. Plus you'll get a thrashing." She listened carefully to his words incase he gave something critical away. He didn't. They walked into a large common room filed with long benches and tables. The entire room, she noticed, was filled with children. There were guards around the room to keep everyone in check, but there were mostly kids from her age all the way down to as young as eight, maybe younger. Aku smacked her on the back of her head when she lagged behind. She walked over to a table where they were serving the food everyone was eating. She picked up a tray and let a severe looking woman place a bowl of what she thought was oatmeal onto it. Then she was handed a cup of what she had first took for cider, then realized was some kind of brown liquid. She walked to a table and sat, beginning to eat slowly. The liquid turned out to be really bad water and what was in her bowl was more like soupy gruel than oatmeal. She choked it down grudgingly to have something on her stomach. Aku was gone but when all the children were done eating they were ushered through the door into a large workshop filled with cloth and sewing machines. She noticed that the older kids were placed upon machines while the smaller ones were sent over to fetch cloths mostly. She was ushered to a machine by a girl her age and she was shown how to work it. She began sewing, though she pricked herself often enough on the machine. She would wait. Someone had to be looking for her. They would find her and she would be free of this place soon enough. She just had to wait.

Tenmei waited for hours filled with anticipation. Then hours ticked into days and days into weeks then weeks into months. Then she gave up and decided to take things into her own hands. She had noticed in her time here a few key flukes in the security of the place: one was that each child had two guard. Hers were Aku and a stoic man named Sonji. The second was that there were windows in the workshop just within her reach, and they left the workshop unlocked. The third was that they carried weapons, and the fourth was that they underestimated her. They didn't know she was a Shinobi. She could tell by the way they handled her that they didn't know dhow dangerous she could really be. So she came up with a plan and decided to execute it one night. Aku was making his normal nightly check up on her. He unlocked the door, Sonji sitting in a chair across from the door sleeping soundly. Aku let him slack because how was a little girl supposed to overpower him or escape her cell? When he walked in, Tenmei was laying in her pile of blankets, moaning. With a grunt of complaint he walked over and kneeled to check her. "Hey!" He hissed as he rolled her over "Shut yer yap! You'll wake the whole forsaken place you wretched little wench! Shut-" He was cut off by the girl pulling his tanto from his belt and drawing it across his throat. Tenmei had to muster all of her courage and hatred for the man in order to do it but once she did she found it horribly simple how easy it was to take a life, especially one as wretched as his. She snatched his keys from his belt just incase and walked out of the cell. She had taken the tanto, with it's golden handle and pretty guard, with her for protection. She saw Sonji and knew she couldn't let him live. He would wake to get her up and find Aku. She wouldn't be far enough away when that time came. She took a deep breath as she closed her eyes. When she opened them back up they were filled with a dark resolve. She drew the blade across the sleeping man's throat, applying only the slightest pressure, and watched as the man's blood flooded forth. It was rather strange but the man's waist was very close in size to hers so she took his belt and his blade, feeling much more comfortable with two weapons in her hands.

Tenmei made her way to the workshop quickly. She had to avoid virtually no guards as she did so, she assumed they weren't expecting an escape attempt from any of the captives within. When she entered the workshop she grabbed some garments she had set out the day before and changed into them. Nondescript and simple. A shirt, shoes, paints and a jacket. All black, along with her belt, would make her completely forgettable. She climbed up to the nearest window and cracked it open before jumping down to the ground below. Then she ran. She noticed that the landscape wasn't that of Kiri nor any place in the water country. This was a rather bare village and when she reached the limits, she found a plain filled with rocks, high and mountainous. The Rock Country. They had taken her to the Rock Country. She barely paid attention to that, she kept going until she reached another village. She could've been running for hours or she could've been running for days, all she knew was that it was night when she had run and it was still night when she arrived at a different, more secure place. She snuck into an inn, sowing away in their cellar. They stowed some food here and the place seemed to be frequently used. She took some of the food that was left and ate so she wouldn't starve. Soon her exhaustion overcame her and she fell asleep behind a few barrels, in a pile of empty flour sacks. She awoke sometime later and left the inn, deciding on trying to make her way back to her own country. She stowed away onto a trade caravan with the help of a sympathetic driver and was on her way. She looked towards the sky and whispered something. It was something like a promise and a prayer all in one:

"I'm coming home...."

|:+:|EquipmentPurse Cutter
This is a very simple looking tanto, with a 30cm blade and a 10cm handle, measuring a total of 40cm. It bears a golden hilt wrapping and a guard wrought in the shape of a flower in bloom. The blade of this weapon is wickedly sharp, able to slice through many a material like a knife through soft butter. This blade was appropriately named as it has been utilized to cut and lift many a purse. But it can cut throats just as easily. This blade is strapped to Tenmei's left hips, alongside her Nin-Salyer.

Nin-Slayer
This weapon is an average wakizashi, with a black hilt wrapping and sheath. The blade measures at 60cm and the handle at 15cm, measuring a total of 75cm. The blade lacks a guard and the curve of the blade a normal wakizashi has. This makes the blade nondescript and easily concealed underneath clothing, enabling the wielder to catch even the most alert opponent off guard. This blade is strapped to Tenmei's left hip, alongside her Purse Cutter.

After channeling Chiton chakra for a full post, the user will form a superficial blood-clot covering over the wound to prevent further bloodflow from it. While this cover doesn't completely heal the wound, it allows the target's body to recover from the wound naturally without agitation.

*Venipuncture
D-Rank Ninjutsu
After performing the needed hand seals, the user will get a grip on their target, causing two needles from their palms to lash out into the target, pumping their blood into the target. Follow up techniques can be utilized with this jutsu to attack the opponent from the inside out.

C-Rank

After performing the needed seals, the user will channel Chiton chakra into a location on their body. From that location a 2ft long spike of chakra will shoot out from under their skin with 10 strength at 10 speed.

*Impaler

This is most commonly used on blood they've gotten onto the enemy, firing directly into their skin.

D-Rank
*Suiton • Water Shuriken
D-Rank Ninjutsu
After performing the correct hand seals the user will form a shuriken of water approximately 6 centimeters in diameter in their hand.

YoshinShow

D-Rank
*[Yoshin • Ambidexterity]
D-Ranked Kenjutsu Discipline
Prerequisite: 10 Taijutsu
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 their preferred weaponry without any sort of issue. This extends to other methods of combat or simple everyday life as well.

*[Yoshin • Side Step]
D-Ranked Kenjutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: 5 Instinct
After stepping up beside the target or sidestepping an attack from the target, the user utilizes a quick striking method, drawing a very firm slash across the side, ribcage or arm of the target. The user slashes with the intent to both injure and startle the opponent, hoping to catch them off guard and disrupt the flow of their attacks. Unlike many other Yoshin techs that focus on shallow cuts that flare up in pain, this particular technique is meant to dig as deep as possible, many times slashing into bones to cause as much long term damage as possible.

*[Yoshin • Flinch]
D-Ranked Kenjutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: 5 Instinct
With a quick feint, the user quickly draws their sword up in an arc, aiming at a foe's eyes usually with intent to slash across their face and injure their eyes. The nature of the technique's movements make it easily read, prompting the target to avoid or dodge.

*[Yoshin • Paper Slash]
D-Ranked Kenjutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: 5 Instinct
In this technique, the user switches from the typical critical blows to a more specialized 'swirl' pattern of slashing, which while much less effective in terms of damage, is useful in distraction. Wounds inflicted are patterned to flare up with pain when those muscle areas tighten, causing moves the opponent's make to recoil slightly on their bodies, the wounded areas acting as a detrimental pain in their actions.
