Akira Uchiha

Name: Akira Uchiha
Nickname: Aki is the general nickname, however, it should be noted within the clan she’s called ’Bloom’ sometimes because she has yet to awaken her Sharingan, and thus is a late bloomer. Aku-Chan may also be a later nickname.
Age: 14
Gender: Female

Height: 4 foot, 2 inches.
Weight: 58lbs
Appearance:
In spite of having every possible advantage towards growth in her ‘younger’ days? Akira is actually a very tiny and slight person compared to most others around her own age. Standing only slightly above four feet this teenager is often mistaken for someone of six or eight, then someone nearing the middle of their teens. With her body carrying what some may call a fragile build, her weight also does not betray her actual age as she weighs a good near fifty pounds beneath the average for her age as well! Lacking any sharp intimidating features, some may compare her to twigs and this wouldn’t be too far off, as while she is small, the girl also has an incredible strength to her in the flexible nature of her body; Though figure wise her flexibility and size,  has done her no favors, due to these things she also had not begun developing in the significant ‘attractive’ way others her age have and while she doesn’t have the fat to look ‘childish’ she does seem very ‘shapeless’ due to this.

When someone looks at the Uchiha's they tend to expect to see the same traits repeated physically, to just look at everyone in the Clan as one of the same mold; Gazing upon Akira does not drastically disappoint this. Looking upon the optics of this young teenager, one is met with a sight much like looking at an eclipse, complete darkness expect for any emotion that may shine through those inky depths. Flowing from above the girl's eyes comes ribbons of shadow, the veil of midnight covering pure snowy skin. Black hair cover’s Akira’s head, flowing long to shortly beneath her waist, being quite fond of these locks they are often kept very clean and well styled. The ironic ending to all this darkness is the fact her flesh is very pale almost like moonlight and her nails are kept pure in that nearly transparent state nails tend to have, rarely painted.
 
Someone is not just made of how their body is perceived, people don’t go strutting around naked, at least Akira hopes they don’t, she doesn’t. Just as the teenager's hair is used as a ‘statement’ sometimes, she also dresses much in the same manner. While most people around her seem sated in wearing the same basic outfits day after boring day? Akira does her best to dress differently most days, from gothic lolita fashion to simple dresses or other girly outfits she tends to try almost any sort of fashion at least once. However, sometimes there isn’t always a new trend to try out, in the absence of any ‘new’ or more ‘interesting’ things to wear, this teenager will often resort to wearing things like combat boots, skorts and tank tops with any ‘traditional’ ninja clothing she may be donning at the time.

To complete any description of Akira one must consider the fact there are some things she is just too young to display right now. Easy first example, clearly due to only having recently turned fourteen, she currently does not have things like Tattoos or scars she would have gotten from going on missions and any other such activities that could ‘affect’ one’s appearance. Since Akira lacks a Sharingan of her own at the moment, she will soon get a tattoo on the inside of her wrist of a three tomoe Sharingan. Lastly, progressing as a Ninja is bound to leave scars, eventually, she will have a scar beside her eye, another on her shoulder and one final one going across her hip/stomach area. Although it's always possible she’ll end up with additional scars, these are just the basic ones that are guaranteed to eventually happen.


Village: Konohagakure
Character Rank: Genin.
Character Tier: D3.
Clan: Uchiha
Element: Fire
Bijuu Roll: Not for Akira, nope. Though there is a failed roll on the account from when I was going to do a different character. Why get a tailed beast or ever aim for one in story, when I can play with Sharingan for the first time!

Personality:
When looking at another person’s personality? The basic layer shown to the majority of people, those who are not at depth interacted with, is what someone largely becomes known for persona-wise. On the most basic dimension, everyone can agree on the fact Akira is a naturally very quiet girl, very few have ever heard her speak outside of school when it was not towards others in the Uchiha Clan, hinting at the fact she may be a little timid. Yet, in spite of seeming to be shy to the point of ‘disliking’ others around her, the second she opens her mouth, this teenager proves that she had always been observant towards those around her. The way she is so keenly observant? Can actually be a ‘hindrance’ to her, considered creepy by some, because she could potentially know things like the favorite food of someone before she ever speaks to them simply because she’s been watching for her entire life, and Akira doesn’t see the problem so she can weird out people sometimes before they even get the chance to come to know her. When such a trait as the hyper observant she possesses is combined with her silent nature? It makes a scenario where someone comes across as an aloof impartial nosy observer even when she wants to get involved with a situation, making reaching out to others difficult, and also rubbing off the impression she may be conceited in personality. However, instead of being arrogant, Akira is actually incredibly vain in concerns to her appearance, otherwise, she is actually rather modest even though she has a potent drive to excel in anything she can become proficient in. That drive to achieve? Also makes her final ‘passive’ easily noticed by outsiders trait painfully clear, intelligence, easily the high scores she received in the Academy prove that her ability to reason and understand are a cut above average.

Like many people in the world? Akira is not entirely who she first appears to be once someone gets close enough to call her their friend, or when she is with her family. The passive aloof behavior she tends to show out in the world is almost unheard of around those considered close to her heart! Instead, the teenager is incredibly emotionally driven, had a sort of trigger temper, closer to a younger individuals ability to control her emotions, she is prone to displaying strong pronounced emotions around people she trusts and has an exceedingly hard time hiding how she feels towards others once she grows attached. This attachment she can develop to people is so strong it breaks right into the realm of being dependent on those she loves, doing many things to strive for their approval to take care of them even if they may not want it. Luckily, this came with the advantage of making her very good at domestic chores like cooking and cleaning, as she enjoys doing so to take care of her family member’s who take such good care of her. Though it should be noted being ‘domestic’ doesn't mean she is ‘grown’ in fact, Akira can become exceedingly childish around her loved ones unless she had deemed them as someone she had to nurture and help. When it involves her loved ones, if she isn’t giving them all her attention, they best be giving her almost all of theirs.

Now to address the one lingering question, if her normal behavior is nothing like the way she acts when she dislikes someone; How does Akira behave when she ‘hates’ someone? Well, if it ever comes down to this girl despising someone, it is actually blatantly clear. Suddenly all the ‘modesty’ she possesses goes out the window, even if it comes to a physical fight she takes every chance possible to remind them how beneath her they are, how much better she is. Akira’s judgment of people she dislikes? It far from silent, her words become sarcastic and downright cruel, every possible time she can, Akira will do whatever it takes to make them come out a rung lower than her or remind them of how shitty they are. Fate also better be on the side of anyone from outside of the village she dislikes, because if it isn’t going to bite her back within the village, she will let someone she dislikes die or suffer with cruel indifference. Apparently, no one taught her ‘treat people how you wish to be treated’ though she is aware of ‘keep your enemies close’ unless she thinks pushing them away could kill them.

When out handling the jobs assigned to Ninja’s, some people can be different or display traits they may not normally, so let's delve briefly into how Akira deals with missions! In the young girls mind? They are another thing to excel in, thus she meets them with a focused driven level of hard work. However she can run into problems with teamwork when working with new people due to her lack of properly developed social skills, yet she’s willing to try working with any at least once. Luckily within battle itself, she is very comfortable and confident as she doesn’t have to think about her ‘relationship’ with the enemy or anything like that.

Certain things motive a person through their life or drive them through portions of it, right now this girls main motivation in life is working towards achieving at the very least her first tomoe of Sharingan as she feels very negative regarding the fact she is the only person in her family without it, but she would be even happier if she achieved further, mastered the art maybe even found something beyond what her family has achieved. Speaking of familial matters? While Akira wants to master the fire release and Genjutsu so natural to an Uchiha. She also wants to come to possess and excel in at least one or two other releases, she’d really prefer two as it would be more impressive. Lastly, even with a mastery in Genjutsu, it’s not intelligent to just rely on Ninjutsu and Genjutsu, so she wants to become extremely skilled in handling bladed weapons like swords.

At last, we get to the fun ‘bonus’ section of describing someone! Getting to mention things like the fact Akira loves to read books or do things like studying, greatly enjoys keeping up with the current fashion and taking care of her pet reptile. Possessed a sharp dislike of the winter and cold weather as its no good for Haruka, despises being called Bloom by anyone within the Uchiha Clan, hates handling any ‘bulky’ or ‘heavy’ sort of weapon much preferring thin light things like blades. Has a fear of large birds due to the danger they pose to her precious pet, and a nearly crippling phobia of people from outside the land of fire that can even sometimes affect her interaction with people simply outside her village. That just like everyone, she has favorites like meat strips for food, crimson for color or that she loves the summer season and holidays with fireworks, hot drinks over cold.

Character History:
A child’s story doesn’t just begin on the day of their own birth, even before conception numerous forces are conspiring to set up roughly what their life will be like. Before the story of Akira Uchiha could even be a distant dream in someone’s head? First came the story of Mari and Taro Uchiha, two bright promising members of the Uchiha Clan who grew up together from entering the academy at the same time to being placed on the same team, passing the exams and becoming teachers to newly graduated students themselves. After taking such a long journey together, no one around would be surprised when a new tale began to blossom between the two when they walked hand and hand down the long road called love. As Taro and Mori continued on their own now eternally combined journey? They provided the framework for what would become Akira’s story, but before the teenager, there had to come two others, people who would be just as important to Akira as her parents.

On March 14th, Taro and Mari entered into their first journey of parenthood when she gave birth to their eldest child Kohaku, who would already be 16 when his youngest sister enters the family. Adoring life with their brilliant and hardworking son? Two years later the couple chose to have another child and thus welcomed the middle sister Sango into their midst, this girl would be 14 by the time another member could be added to the family. Considering the fact she was reaching towards her thirties and taking care of two children was almost a full-time job? Mari chose that she wouldn’t be having any more children. Thus, the pair grew up extremely close to each other, the pride and joy of their parent's life.

Now somewhere in her late thirties? Mari did not expect to become pregnant once more, didn’t even have any plans to, she already had two wonderful children. When the woman began to grow sick to her stomach, she thought nothing of it except that she had come down with a very persistent stomach flu. Later when she grew so concerned she went to see a doctor, the family would receive news they never expected, the new of Akira’s existence within her mother’s stomach. However, at her age, the family knew that pregnancy would be no easy task and even if it went by smoothly the upcoming little girl may not be in the best health due to her mother’s age. They got lucky in terms of the pregnancy itself, but when the time finally came for the child to be born, Kohaku, Sango and Taro where all out on missions, thus it took Mari a lengthy time to get to the hospital and the birth took even longer. When the rest of the family finally arrived home after having been called back from their missions for the birth? Akira had come into the world after an extremely strenuous labor, but she was both smaller and weaker than predicted by the doctors.  

Kept in the hospital for several months after her wintery holiday birth? The family was finally allowed to take baby Akira home and get her settled. In the beginning, she stayed in her crib located in her parent's room, until she started getting a little older and it was chosen she would take up a toddler bed in her older sisters room as their house was not large enough for all three siblings to have their own room. In her extremely early days, Akira was taught basics by her family, and her siblings often brought back ‘souvenirs’ from their missions as Ninja’s for her to play with or look at. Haruka, a dark-colored reptile with dark horns protruding from its head and red markings patterning it, was one of these ‘souvenirs’ given by her siblings. Though, for a short period of time, the family became reluctant to allow Akira to keep Haruka, as the reptile increasing intelligence and size convinced them that Haruka could be an uncontracted summoning animal preying upon their daughter for some reason. Yet, in the end, the family decided that the reptile was likely harmless, perhaps set out on her own early or got separated and was merely a child like their daughter, that letting them grow up together could do no harm.

Eventually, it came time for Akira to join the Ninja Academy much to the chagrin of her overprotective family, save her father. Starting day one, the little girl proved her ‘bloodline’ by excelling in just about anything taught to her, scoring high marks and displaying an amazing understanding of subjects. However, teacher’s had one concern about the growing child, and it was one they could do nothing about! If Akira has ever encountered ‘trouble’ in her life, this is where it began. The family loved and worried for their youngest very much, and they created something other’s saw as a problem without even trying! Kohaku and Sango were young Ninja who spent a good deal of time out on missions, and they didn’t want young Akira to feel neglected by them, so whenever they had time off missions they went far as walking her back and forth from school, spending whole weekends with her. Little did they realize? Neither of them were ever away at the same time, and even when they did both go out for something like their own friends, Akira was spending time with her parents or being trained by them. As the years in the academy dragged on, the effect became clear, even if the child excelled ‘academically’  she did not have a single friend of her own. When a child lives that way, eventually they become target for ‘bullying’ and thus other children in the village started calling her siblings her shadows, and made fun of her for seeming to be ‘unable’ to do anything without them. However, Akira didn’t know the difference, didn’t know that being picked on wasn’t normal, so it barely had an effect, plus no one dared pick on her directly in the face of her elder full-fledged ninja siblings.

While the years in the academy were ‘lonely’ one’s for Akira, she was far from daft of people or things around her. Each year thing’s happened, and she did remember the; Like when Yin Hyuuga flunked from the class above into her class. She easily recognized that every time she was taken for dumplings or ramen the girl serving them was Miko who was an older academy student and that the older girls friend Zadia was often around. In fact Akira was incredibly observant of people and had a great memory for them, even down to Hiro Nara who never really interacted with others as well,  it was simply a matter of the fact she never got a chance to showcase that past the hovering of her siblings, and thus she grew into a girl who was increasingly distant from those outside the Uchiha Clan, as if no one outside her small world even existed. With how well she was doing in school? Her family saw no problem with their behavior and it became more than simple action, it morphed into a habit, an addiction to taking care of their precious small Akira.

Years later around the time she was reaching closer to her ninth birthday and still showed no signs of having awakened her Sharingan, at first they tried to write it off. However, everyone else keeping note of them in the Clan had already noticed, Kohaku had awoken his shortly after entering the academy when one of his best friends got into a bad fight and dragged him into it, while Sango had awoken her’s in mourning after she found a dog with the corpse of her pet hamster in its jaws, they both awoken theirs by the age of eight. Taro slowly began to realize as days dragged into months and years, that his own families behavior may now be hindering Akira more than helping her, finally noticing that they had protected her so well, she was never given any chance to awaken her blood right. At the start of her twelfth birthday, Akira’s father began paying less ‘attention’ to her, trying his best to convince his wife and elder children to give the girl some time on her own, out in the village, so she could develop the connection to others needed to give her the emotional spark to awaken her Sharingan. While Mari began to see the same facts her husband had realized and reluctantly backed off? Kohaku and Sango saw no issue, neither sibling backing off until Akira graduated the academy, at this point, Taro put his foot down with the help of some other Clan members to express the fact they could not be Akira’s teacher nor could they follow her on missions or go on missions with her. Of course, backing off Akira and getting her to understand why they have to, well the family is finding these are two separate fights all together! Having grown so used to the hovering and protection of her family, Akira has been having a hard time adjusting to being an ‘independent’ teenager and coping with now being able to hear other younger Uchiha making fun of her for not having her Sharrigan yet.
