Hitomi is the youngest product of the Ishikawas, born within the hidden village of Iwagakure. And while not a clan of any sort they were known to be quite obsessed with producing "prodigies" of myriad skills and abilities without the need of a bloodline. This desire led to them secretly experimenting on their own children - Hitomi being the latest attempt and so far only failure. Hitomi lacked any of the prodigious skill, strength, or chakra, that her siblings inhibited and instead was rather frail and quiet.
From a young age she was more interested in the art of puppetry, unlike the rest of her family. The careful carving of wood, the discipline of putting together such creations piece by piece. While her family didn't seem to understand her desires - her gift in the art could not be denied. And what she lacked in physical strength and raw chakra - she made up with deft hands and gentle finesse.
She would join the academy at the tender age of eight and struggle to surmount her weaknesses. While she fell behind - her siblings plowed through their lessons with an ability that Hitomi often envied.
She didn't give up, however, and eventually - her hard work and dedication pulled through as she graduated at the age of eighteen. A newly minted genin - she dreams of taking the shinobi world by storm - and prove to her family that even a "failure" such as herself could succeed and become a shinobi of legendary renown.
Hitomi to the uncritical eye appears shy and withdrawn. A reserved young woman who holds a solemn gaze. While not completely untrue she is no wallflower and in fact holds a strong will and a smoldering determination.
While somewhat demure, with a sweet, gentle smile - she has a sharp and intelligent mind hidden behind a pretty face. Deep down she is quite bitter and envious of not only her family - but of those around her whom are often noted as "geniuses" or "prodigies". A symptom born from her own self doubt and insecurities.
While she desperately wishes to prove to the world that she is not just a "failure" - this goal often blinds her from her own feelings as well as the feelings of others, making her appear rather blunt or cold when pressed. In the end she simply wants to be acknowledged and accepted as a strong kuniochi of Iwagakure - even if it means she has to strip away everything else in her pursuit of said goal.
Taijutsu [Rookie]
Taijutsu was never her strong point. In fact it's Hitomi's biggest weakness. She's still quite frail compared to other genin and will go down with a well placed punch or kick. To top it off her taijutsu is highly telegraphed and obvious as well as slow and sloppily attempted. Her form is very amateurish and obvious as well, making it very easy to predict her weak blows.
Shurikenjutsu [Rookie]
She can aim and throw them - but her trajectory may be off a few inches. While she can hit the general target she isn't very good at getting bullseyes. Not only that but her movements are sloppy and slow adding to the errors she can often commit.
Stealth [Rookie]
Hitomi is only about half way decent with stealth. Hiding in the shadows is her main element of surprise but her ability to cover her tracks is shoddy at best. Not only that she isn't very good at detecting people hidden stealth at her level, yet. Being nearly oblivious to sneak attacks and the like from those above her rank.
Puppetry [Rookie]
Hitomi's specialty, though not a very good one, not yet at least. Her puppet looks no better than a decently sculptured mannequin devoid of any defining features beyond it's human-like hands which can hold simple tools like blades or kunai. And a simple shuriken launcher in it's chest cavity for emergencies. At her current level she can just barely manipulate her puppet to do clumsy swings or punches and the puppet is easily damaged with a firm enough punch or elemental jutsu.
Auditory Genjutsu [Rookie]
The ability to cause illusion via sound. Hitomi is clumsy at this - only able to make a whistle appear in the opposite of her direction. Just enough that the target will turn their head so she can get a quick shot at them from the side or behind. However, it's not very effective most of the time and is more likely to distract simple beasts or slow-minded humans than anything else.
Mysterious Omamori [Unranked]
A small sealed bag that acts as a good luck charm to those who carry it. Somehow came into your possession and you don't recall how. But hey, can't hurt to keep around! (Acts as a second lottery entry any time you buy-in to a lottery with this character. This can be transferred to a new character on death).
