【 OTHER ALIAS 】

• 【 Kaika Mōsengoke - Flowering Sundew 】A nickname given to Fumitan by her parents upon completion of the Satori No Ko ritual, it is a nostalgic name of endearment to her. It represents her youthful vigor in association to the plant family that she had been implemented with. It has not been used since she became an orphan.
• 【 Big Sis / Auntie Fumi 】A nickname used only by the younger members of the Ikebana clan. She is happy to be addressed by the younger generation as this, but will probably leave a nasty bruise on your head if addressed this way by anyone older as it implicates her as being "old".

◥APPEARANCE◤

【 HEIGHT 】5'8" // 172.7 cm
【 WEIGHT 】130 lbs // 58.9 kg

Fumitan stands at a slender height of five foot eight, with her most striking features being her dark purple hair tied high in the back and lilac colored eyes. Near where her hair is tied is a small hair brooch with a simple little sundew shaped flower. In contrast to a majority of the Ikebana clan, Fumitan is pale in complexion.

Not much else can be said for her appearance other than her combat attire which reveals her skin (For practical purposes due to her fighting style) and to account for Takigakure's usual weather. She typically just wears simple dark purple fabrics to match her hair, subtle yet simple for when on missions to avoid being spotted. Other than that she likes to wear brighter purple/pink colored clothing when in the village. Her village headband hangs from her waist on her lower back.

Several bandages are wrapped on various parts of her body and her left forearm is covered with a simple armguard to deflect small projectiles or light attacks as well as store several poisoned senbon. She has small pouches for carrying her tools/weapons, several gourds filled with a sweet home brewed sake of her own making, and a ninjatō strapped to the back of her waist for whenever she needs something more effective at combat than a kunai.

◥PERSONALITY◤

❝ Stay close to anything that makes you glad you are alive. ❞
                                                                    ﹄ Fumitan Ikebana
【 NINDO 】

From a young age, Fumitan has always been that one bubbly child who was always smiling and always happy. She was eager to please and make others smile with her contagious energy.
However, after the incident of her past much of that genuine happiness and energy disappeared.

At a glance, Fumitan appears as a cheerful and carefree individual, always wearing a friendly smile regardless of the situation she's in, to reassure those around her that everything will be okay. The smile is meant to disarm, and she would happily stab you in the back while making you believe she was your friend. There are few individuals who she truly considers friends that she can trust being vulnerable around, the rest usually are given a façade.

Fumitan does suffer from post traumatic stress disorder, having survived a slaughter of her fellow clan members from a younger age and often tried to drink the pain and memory of it away since then, though to little avail as alcohol is something she is immune to the effects of and cannot numb the pain with. She has trouble taking her mind off of it, so she often tries to distract herself, chief among them being her hobby of producing home brewed sakes of her own. She does not however shirk her responsibilities and takes accountability for herself in order to maintain the clan's image and honor.

She is fiercely loyal to her clan above all else, and should anything or anyone come to harm them again, she will be at the forefront to protect them and cast aside any lingering fear or doubt she has in the moment. She's lost and suffered before, she will not allow the same to happen again to those she cares and are responsible for watching over.

◥HISTORY◤

► Birth and Early Childhood
Born to Botaro Ikebana and Umeko Ikebana sixteen years after the Third Shinobi War, Fumitan was the eldest of three children born under the two that were born in Kirigakure, though they did not stay for long after the youngest son was born. Fumitan and her family migrated out of Kirigakure by the time she was four, returning to their ancestral home of Takigakure to be raised and taught in the clan's ways, and were among the first of the migrant Ikebana families to return.

From a young age, Fumitan was a bright child who strove to make her parents proud and her siblings happy. She held the most responsibility but still was the most carefree and happy she could be. She thrived off of the clan's positivity as distant relatives became close, and was eager to make them all proud. The birth of her siblings and move aside, her young life was relatively normal growing up. She did receive some discrimination growing up in Takigakure since her family was not native to the village, but any youth that she came into contact with soon found themselves won over by her bright and bubbly personality.

► Coming of Age for the Satori No Ko and Academy Years
At the age of seven, she was old enough to partake in the Ikebana clan's Satori No Ko. Despite initial protest from her parents, who wanted none of their children to partake in the ceremony, and with some persuasion by one of the clan's Tsutaurushi and Fumitan's own desire to undergo the procedure herself, finally around. If she were to grow up to be a shinobi, she would do so with everything that the clan would offer her in order for her to survive out in the harsh world, and to be able to protect the clan. The ritual was long and arduous, made difficult in part by the floral families that were being melded into her own body. It was expected that she would not survive the procedure as her body initially was rejecting the carnivorous plant families that were attempting to be merged into her. After several days of intense procedure and to the relief of her parents and clan, her body finally accepted the transplantation and she had been given the gift of enlightenment.

The years following her successful passing of the Satori No Ko were spent adjusting to this newfound power. Her life had not changed much besides the fact and she still remained a bright and eager child, ready to learn at Takigakure's Academy. At the age of nine she was enrolled, starting her first steps to becoming a shinobi worthy of her clan's name. In the academy, Fumitan was an eager and enthusiastic learner, paying close attention in class and putting what she learned to practice. She strove to do her best, and the praise she received from her family was all the motivation she needed to spur her on and flourish as a young, budding shinobi. 

Fumitan excelled in school, thanks to her aptitude and eagerness to show off to her parents. She was good at both the intellectual and physical tests presented to her all throughout her academy years, and took up stealth as part of her extracurriculars during her fourth year. The jungle examination was a simple task for one who had already learned to attune to the living world around her from a young age, and she exceeded expectations. By the end of her academy years, Fumitan would have graduated among the top percentile of her class at the age of thirteen at 1009.

► Ikebana Massacre to Jonin
From the day she became genin, Fumitan strove to improve herself, training as she grew and building upon her existing skills while taking it upon herself to learn new things, not just about the way of a shinobi but the world around her. The next two years she spent training for the chunin exams, honing her skills and techniques as well as adapting the clan's techniques to her own personal style. That being said, the chunin exams were a breeze for her and she advanced to the next rank by the age of fifteen in the year 1011. 

By the time of 1013, word was spreading that the larger Ikebana families were soon going to formally gather and settle back in Takigakure. Fumitan was eager to meet the other Ikebana families for the first time. She had been continuing to improve her skills since becoming a chunin and was excited to be able to show off to the other families the shinobi she was growing up to be. She was out on an assigned mission, escorting her mother and father as well as her brothers who had been travelling to nearby villages to sell the home brewed sake her mother was quite well known for.

As fate would have it, her family and a group of migrating clansmen would meet on the way back to Takigakure. Fumitan was ecstatic about finally getting to meet her relatives for the first time. The stories she wanted to share and the places she wanted to show them. This fleeting moment of reunion and chance to get to know them however was cut brutally short. 

Ambushed by shinobi from Konohagakure, under the pretense that the migrant Ikebana were spies and traitors, they struck like wildfire. What ensued was a bloody slaughter. Fumitan was in shock as she watched the few members capable of combat, including her father, attempt to fight back. In the chaos and bloodshed, Fumitan attempted to keep her mother and siblings safe, though it was in vain, as they were slaughtered in the crossfire while Fumitan was helpless to stop it.

The Tsutaurushi of the migrant Ikebana entrusted the lives of his two twin children to her alongside Kado and ordered to flee. They were in no position to stay and fight, not with the lives of the clan's heirs left to her protection, and so she fled, with the memory of her slain mother and brothers and the last time she saw her father who stayed to defend the others - and the eyes of a Hyuga among the shinobi that attacked them burned into her memory.

Upon return to Takigakure, no further news or reports came regarding the other Ikebana that were attacked - and so Fumitan was alone now, with the seedlings of the youngest generation among their clan left under her care. It was in their best interest to be surrendered to the older Ikebana that served as their caretakers. Word of the incident had also been kept private and secret from all but the members of the Ikebana, who couldn't even organize a proper burial or ceremony for the slain.

► Early Shinobi Life to Present
In the years that followed, Fumitan spent much of her time drinking between missions as a way to take her mind off of the trauma that she had endured, falling into a spiraling depression. Much time had been spent reflecting on why everything that occurred happened, and what she could have done to change it. For several years, she was without much purpose, only taking missions for when she needed to take her mind off the pain, and to try and find purpose. At some point the alcohol that she used to drink the pain away stopped working, her body having grown acclimated to it.

When the drinking ceased to ease the pain, she instead turned to creating her own brews, based off of the techniques she grew up watching and learning from her mother. It was in the creation of brews that were reminiscent of her late mother that she found some semblance of peace and solace. While the drinking may not have taken the memory of pain away, it was in sharing what reminded her of her family to others and seeing the delight and enjoyment that sparked some hope back in her.

By the age of twenty-two, roughly five years after the incident, Fumitan decided that she would no longer allow the slaughter hold her back, and dedicated herself to becoming a better and stronger shinobi. She would be there to attend the Satori No Ko ritual for the twin heirs that had become of age to support them. She would spend those years building up her skills and techniques, - She had to be better, not for just those that were no longer there to see her thrive and bloom, but to help the future of those that were entrusted to her. By the age of twenty five, she was formally raised to the rank of Jōnin, and has since spent time between missions watching over the young Ikebana in Takigakure.

◥FIGHTING STYLE◤

Fumitan as a Jōnin fights about the typical level expected of a ninja of her rank. She is skilled in the use of ninja tools as well as her ninjatō, as well as toxins to enhance their effectiveness in combat simply by grazing her enemies with them.

While she is a capable fighter, Fumitan prefers indirect combat from a distance, wearing down her opponents with her hijutsu and ninjutsu to take them off guard. She combines the properties of her nectar (Which are typically extremely flammable due to the amount of alcohol she consumes) and mixing them with explosive tags to create extremely volatile explosions using her specialized techniques and abilities.

One should never expect a fair or honorable fight when it comes to fighting Fumitan. Most of her weapons are laced with toxins and paralytics to give her an edge over enemies.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

►Satori No Ko - Children of Enlightenment◄
The ritual undergone by members of the Ikebana clan, Fumitan possesses the Droseraceae and Nepenthaceae floral families. The ritual also allows the ability to use the Ikebana clan's hijutsu. 

►Ikebana Trait Enhancement◄
The floral properties that have been implanted into Fumitan belong to the Droseraceae and Nepenthaceae families, more specifically of the Sundew and Pitcher Plant. The innate properties of her nectar are stickier than those of other Ikebana members as well as corrosive in nature that she can apply to her hijutsu techniques. While it won't melt the flesh from bones upon contact, getting even a little on one's skin will be difficult to get off and burn through simple clothing and the outer layer of skin for a rather painful chemical burn. 

►Enhanced Chakra Control◄
A requirement to fully take advantage of the Satori No Ko ritual, Fumitan has a greater understanding and handle on chakra control, allowing her to better grasp and utilize the clan's techniques as well as those that she has learned.

►Touch of Poison◄
To supplement her combat style, Fumitan has extensively studied the properties of various plant and animal life at her disposal and how best to utilize the toxins and venoms in combat. She is able to effectively use poisons for her weapons and ninja tools as part of her fighting style as a result.

►Fast Hands◄
Fumitan focuses primarily around ninjutsu as means of combating opponents, and as such is able to weave complex handsigns at an incredible speed that most people cannot keep up with. This dexterity also translates to her handling of any items she may be holding/throwing.

[Yofie]

Hello and welcome to NFB~ I will be your first reviewer~ we can work on your character app, while the jutsus are being reviewed as it is a bit long, but if you have any questions or need help feel free to dm here or on discord~

Name:
Change the order of your name to surname name -> Ikebana Fumitan.

Birthday:
The year of birth is 995.

Position:
You have to choose one from RP Positions. Here - Ranks & Positions you can look at what positions a Jounin is eligible for.

History:
Fumitan is born 5 years after the 3rd Shinobi War Ends in 990. So I think you will have to adjust the history a bit.

I will have to ask you to better remove Kirigakure, so it does not conflict with the way Kirigakure operates. And better say that her parents came from Mizu no Kuni in general.

I will have to ask you to add a little bit more to her genin years. How she did with her teammates, maybe what kind of missions they did, what was difficult, etc.

I will have to ask you to elaborate on how her chuunin exams went. What she did there, how she acted, what lessons she learned, maybe how she felt then, what difficulties she faced, etc.

Ambushed by shinobi from Konohagakure, under the pretense that the migrant Ikebana were spies and traitors, they struck like wildfire. - Before you mentioned that she was on a mission to escort her family to nearby villages, I assume in Bonchi no Kuni. But next, you say they were ambushed by a Konoha shinobi? That makes little sense, as the other Ikebanas wrote that this event happened on Hi no Kuni land, which would be more likely, than some shinobis from Konoha coming into the jungles of Bonchi no Kuni, especially since Hi no Kuni borders the Black Garden. And if the villages that your parents went to are on Hi no Kuni lands... Well, that is just impossible, as they are anything but close to the real or fake Takigakure.



So as you see, Taki and Fake Taki are dead in the center of the Basin Country. The big green spot is the Black Garden very dangerous area. And the small red dots are the possible nearby villages. The big orange ones would have been the only path Fumitan and her family would have gotten to meet the other Ikebana. The Blue Cross might be the place where the massacre took place, near Bonchi no Kuni. But as you see, it does not align in any way with what would be Fumitan and her family's path.

You will need to rethink how Fumitan could be there because don't forget she is a shinobi of Takigakure and without a good reason does not get to free travel even in her own country, even less so an enemy one.

and the eyes of a Hyuga among the Konohagakure shinobi that attacked them burned into her memory. - I will have to ask you to just say that this was something only one shinobi did - that specific Hyuga, who acted on their own for whatever reason. Otherwise, you have to get permission from Konohagakure's Leader, possibly the Hyuga clan's OOC head, and Takigakure's Leader for this kind of plot, as it involves international plus clan relationships.

I will have to ask you to elaborate as to how she became a Jounin. To be raised to such a rank she should have a good amount of skills, do something for the village, and be approved by the leader. And of course, please elaborate on how, why, and what position she holds as a Jounin, as I assume you have chosen one.

This would be a rough timeline of the dates for her, from what I gathered in your history:
995 - born 0
999 - returned to Taki 4
1002 - ikebana ritual 7
1004 - entered Taki's academy 9
1008 - graduate the academy 13
1010 - passed chuunin exam
1013 - ikebana migrates back to Taki 18
1020 - becomes a jounin

And for the history that concerns the Takigakure, I will ask Mikatakujira Kunikunosaku as the leader of the village to give his opinion.

Fighting Style:
as well as toxins to enhance their effectiveness in combat simply by grazing her enemies with them. - as you do not have the medical-nin, puppetry spec, or the Poison SA, Fumitan is not able to carry any poison, so I would remove this line.
She combines the properties of her sap (Which are typically extremely flammable due to the amount of alcohol she consumes) - I would reword Sap to Nectar and remove the bracket part.
Most of her weapons are laced with toxins and paralytics to give her an edge over enemies. - as you do not have the medical-nin, puppetry spec, or the Poison SA, Fumitan is not able to carry any poison, so I would remove this line.

And her specs are ninjutsu/taijutsu - so I would like to mention some words of her using taijutsu, that would seem much more appropriate as her fighting style instead of weapons and should be her 2nd most used art. If you want her to use weapons your secondary spec should be bukijutsu.

Inventory:
Please look at the Approved Universal Equipment and Shinobi Tools of Trade to see what you can have in your inventory. Anything that is not there, needs to be applied for separately. And don't forget to link them and follow the equipment allowance rules found in Weapon Rules.
As I mentioned earlier Fumitan cannot carry any poison, so I will ask you to remove any mentions of that in your inventory.

Special Abilities:
Satori No Ko - Children of Enlightenment
The way your ability is worded is like an actual jutsus (which by all means you can make such jutsu). As such I will have to ask you to look at Ikebana Kanako's Satori no Ko and word it similar.

Ōkui - The Gluttonous One
The second ability is not possible because it already belongs to the Kuishinbou clan's KKG. They can digest anything. I would recommend switching this to Poison SA, so you can carry poisons on your character.

Techniques:
Please link all the jutsus.

Kaitai Fumitsukeru [Dismantling Step], Kasa Kizetsu [Slashers Elbow], Soyo Kaze [Light Breeze] - you cannot have those jutsu as they are exclusive to Kiri Shinobi.

[Mikatakujira Kunikunosaku]

Hey Soundwave, welcome to NFB, and thank you for making a Takigakure shinobi. As Village leader, I am here to look over the history and go over points to repair/amend to get you rolling to enjoyment! First thing first that really stood out to me:

I know you contacted me privately about the history notes regarding the meetup. I have greenlit Fumitan meeting the clan members on her return home from a mission, footnote for staff and any future apps.

That said, all the former apps have vaguely talked about the migration location. Given how secretive the village is, please return to vague and state that the migration slaughter occurred near the borders of Bonchi no Kuni. (Addressing reviewers, the first part of escorting her family was the approved mission, the clan meeting is on the return and that is the part that got ambushed.)

I will have to ask you to just say that this was something only one shinobi did - that specific Hyuga, who acted on their own for whatever reason. Otherwise, you have to get permission from Konohagakure's Leader, possibly the Hyuga clan's OOC head, and Takigakure's Leader for this kind of plot, as it involves international plus clan relationships.

In response to this, I will have to ask you, Soundwave, to please condense it to the sole act of one shinobi. Maybe say they had a vendetta against the Ikebana clan. Why, idk but I do know anger makes people do stupid things. Any group larger than 2 for this act requires sign off by both Eleri and Belac (Konoha Leader) before I give my OK, as then it goes from rogue operation to an organized hit.

Now I would like some more history fleshing how she did growing up, what were her exams like. What was her team like?

I understand you have a lot to edit and address, please do not feel rushed or overwhelmed. I commend you for making a Jōnin as by default, these apps are under more scrutiny as they require more work. You're doing a great job. I will check back and get to you if needed after these edits.

As a summary, requesting edits for the following:

• Make the location where Fumitan met the other clan members vague, as in by the border of Bonchi no Kuni: I want this part vague as right now as it allows for other apps to be made
• Maybe define Fumitan's assigned mission Mainly define that her family escort was the assigned mission and On her return specify she met with her clan. Really important to say which is which.
• A bit fleshing out how she did growing up, what was her team like at genin, how did her exams go, what experiences has made Fumitan into who she is

I will touch up after the revisions requested, again, I'm only addressing the content I have been asked for.
I look forward to you joining the village!
