― kado hanabuki
― thirty nine years old
― female
― bisexual
― nuke-nin (sunagakure)
― hyuuga heritage
Of what remains of shattered dreams, hopes and memories lies a shell, empty as a void; endless as the stars that glisten on a still, ebony night. Those nights used to be her favorite. The rarity it was to witness a evening where the wind's howls were muted and the endless saltation and suspension, a flagship of her home, were tempered behind gentle breezes. Another lifetime that was. Where the joyous laughter of the children that roamed the streets of Sunagakure were plenty and drowned out the ire of souls worn from conflict and bloodshed. Happiness existed in this pocket of space, a blanket that functioned as a shield of ignorance and a construct Hanabuki had long but abandoned.
In another lifetime she was a kunoichi. One that moved with grace, honor, respect. Who's hand's trembled at the sight of blood and stomach churned at the idea of draining the life from another, even if it were her specialty. A simple mask existed as the sole buffer between an overly empathetic soul and a tool that functioned almost exclusively as a cog in a sea of machinery; a hunter ninja by trade, but the line had blurred long time ago making it impossible to tell which side reigned dominant. Duty always came first, as it was ingrained in her psyche from an early age and in her genetic disposition as a Hyuuga.
In another lifetime she was a wife. A mother. She could still remember her child's first breath... and, of course, the shrill intensity of his wail. The way his eyes widened whenever he felt his mother near and the way her heart ached whenever she was tasked away from home, which as a shinobi was often. Love like the bond a mother and child share is unique, almost symbiotic. It could never be replaced or forgotten, like one's first home.
And in one night she lost both.
When Sunagakure fell, so did her life. Piece by piece she was stripped away: her husband, a close advisor of the Kazekage, killed in a sandstorm. Her child, instructed by her to remain at home where he was safe, lost in a sea of destruction that came in the storm's wake. Her title as a shinobi, deserted as the crows of Amegakure marched on the soil of her ancestors with little regard for anything other than the subjugation of their long enemies. Her byakugan, a symbol of her people and her family, abandoned when eyes that could see all could not find the very thing she missed the most.
In this lifetime, she would do anything in her power to get it all back.
Hijutsu (Gentle Fist) [Journeyman]
What once was is now a distant memory. Rough around the edges, where grace and nimbleness used to mark each step is a product watered from years on the run but refined in other ways. Her ability to utilize the dying artstyle of Gentle Fist is still remarkably strong, years of ingrained footwork and precision in respect to her former position within the Oinin Butai, holding firm though its applications having dimmed.
Kenjutsu [Apprentice]
Born out of necessity and efficiency, Hanabuki's proficiency with blades pails in comparison to her Hijutsu but is sufficient in ways that allows her to outclass those with less touch than her. Counterintuitive to a Hyuuga's naturally inclination to free their hands for strikes, she has preferred using her blades as extensions of her limbs, utilizing her Byakugan's analytical acuity and the footwork of her Hijutsu to enhance her strikes.
Stealth [Apprentice]
It was inevitable after years on the run, often times in plain sight, her natural ability to stick to the shadows and remain unseen has dulled. A shame really, but one unavoidable while walking a path like hers. While no novice, her steps are always gentled and guided, this is one area where reacclimation is required to improve.
Ehancement [Speed]
A hallmark of years of dedication and shades of blessings from above, Hanabuki is known for her trademark bursts and agile movement even amongst other shinobi of Olympian level class. Having maintained her body like a temple, she has perhaps gotten faster as she has aged - a trust testament to her focus and devotion.
