lbsHanabi is a young, tan, black haired young woman with a finely toned, muscular body at the behest of her intense work ethic. Hazel green orbs with flecks of gold in the light provide her with an intense stare when the opportunity arises. Long black hair adorns down toward her ass which is one of the few feminine qualities that she offers to have, a stark contrast against her hardier features of a small petite stub nose and sharp angular features, luckily her defined tan skin makes her black hair stand out all the better for it, while her hair is normally worn up in a bun, on the few occasions it is worn down her hair flurries around with the movements.
Her skin is full of tiny little cuts and scars notably around her hands and feet from their intense use, and her feet is probably the most scarred of all, little discolorations of paleness against her tan skin due to the absentee use of shoes. But otherwise, for the most part she's a fair frame and of decent height.
Attire:
Hanabi is usually dressed for battle. Simple clothing, free of movement and not tight as to stop her free range of movement, even avoiding boots or shoes if she can avoid it. Sometimes absolutely required by the nature of travelling terrain, she has grown stalwart in that respect. So, shirt: three quarter length trousers, and boots (if necessary.)
But, she prefers the use of bandages instead of shoes, feeling the earth beneath her feet. If she's not doing anything like missions, or training or instead doing something like volunteering she'll don a t-shirt and jeans, with bandages underneath. Even so, he colours are quite muted earthy colors with jeans, or a few more colourful ensembles for dresses.
In terms of femininity, she does not have a huge wardrobe of clothing. Dresses exist, but not normally on her. Much more of a "leather and boot" kind of gal, she dresses up when necessary, excluding completely formal events that do not require something to do with her god (which, is a single set of garments) and abhors the use of traditionalism like Yukatas, again, if they are not associated with her god.
PERSONALITY
"First I killed my parent's killer, and then I had no purpose. Sensō gave me purpose."
Hanabi is a hardass. Hard working, passionate, courageous: deadly, prideful, outspoken. Nobody could say that her work ethic is lacking but effort of supporting herself from such a young age, and by the effort of training herself as a workaholic now that she has been given purpose by her god.
The woman is Honorable, kind: merciful. It is in her interest that she volunteers and makes good on her promises to those who ask it of her, which is why she would vehemently decline a promise that she cannot keep. Hanabi is still a sexual individual, but few find it in their heart to match her intensity and sometimes tomboyish-ness, that she doesn't really try anymore in her heart to find love no matter where out there it is. Her devotion and piousness to her god is also a big factor in her life.
She fights to win. She fights for glory, and she fights for strength. Both in the sense of keeping herself mentally stable in a world of horror but to make it a better place with each and every fight. She does not use trickery, poison or any other cowardly art: but meets someone in the battlefield with an open heart, actively engaging on "confirming" they're in battle, and when it had been concluded.
That is to be said, the girl is mostly without fear. She had still feel it, as it would be irresponsible not to be. But, it is a defining factor in channelling it towards something positive as opposed to allowing it to control her. The world is her oyster, and she will make it so. Hanabi is still very forthight with her intentions and that can certainly come across as being unreasonable. If she doesn't want to be somewhere anymore, she'll just directly tell the person and walk off. If she doesn't want to do something, she'll make it clear. Not to be hard headed, but it makes her quite stalwart and stoic to a level.
Socialising is fun. Being out and around people is fun, but the woman also cherishes her alone time, dislikes those who intrude on her needlessly and especially on people who intrude on her personal space, perhaps being a little too quick to anger in that regard if she's approached by someone she doesn't want to be approached by.
Hanabi is not traditionally feminine. She takes care of herself, perhaps not to the extent that she lives off makeup, or relishes in wearing a feminine dress but has the option if it's of clear reason and desire to. She has less female friends than she would like personally but that's more down to her exact personality that can make it difficult for her to make friends of the same sex.
BIOGRAPHY
If Hanabi had an ordinary growth as a child, she would've ended up a nice happy child with her parents and would've grown to be a civilian: a woman who would eventually find a man, become a housewife, bare his child and continue her own bloodline. But, life does not work out that way, and in its place the story of an untold legend wormed its way into her very existence that threatens to make everybody else bow before her glory. Praise her name. Know Hanabi.
Hanabi was born on the edge of Hi no Kuni in border town: very close to Arashi no Kuni. Growing up in
-10SD was fine: she was a baby and had no recollection of it. Her childhood was great and on track with nothing to push her off track. Two loving parents who gifted her with treasured memories that to this date she remembers though their faces have faded due to no memorabilia. No pictures: nothing to remember.
When Hanabi was six in
-4SD her parents were murdered viciously while she watched from underneath a bed quiet and unable to fully and coherently understand what was going on. For what reason? What purpose? There was nil. But still, when the man's back was turned she used his own knife against him, pulled from her father's body and into the man's neck. Completely unaware of the damage it could cause, and by sheer luck killed the man.
The neighbours were the ones who heard it all, but hadn't thought to collect Hanabi or protect her, so all that was left was a little girl crying along the street as she tried to find help. In the coming weeks, people did: she ended up being taken care of in a different way. Moved into an orphanage. A decent upbringing, but not better than the world and the life she could've had. A girl who had seen death much before her time, an unfair world all the same.
The child's worldly belongings sold and liquidated and used for the good of the orphanage so they had a for profit business, keeping her alive long enough until they could get rid of her. She had already seen death.
It was at a later age that she saw Shinobi and questioned it, a further opportunity for her to grow and get beyond what she wanted. Vague, manipulative and led questioning by the people in charge saw her moved to Konohagakure no Sato to become a Shinobi in
-2SD, under a guise of a choice that she herself wanted, so that she would not provide to be an economical drain - and something they managed to get her to decide
"for herself." So, off to Konohagakure no Sato she went, with all of her relevant paperwork to become a Shinobi of the Leaf. To gain a new education and put her skills to the test when it put her against the grain for her lack of use in the other arts.
It was here that she found proper, consistent training as well as the proper socialisation for her to get over the initial traumas of her as a child. She was okay in Ninjutsu and Genjutsu, and did averagely in her studies being studious enough to the art and willing enough to succeed with her goal kept in mind after all the years passed by. She passed out of the academy as a Genin at 13 in
+3SD, going the full time and was never stronger or weaker than her classmates.
And then it all changed: the girl took on mission after mission with her team, always somehow managing to convince them to do missions near the boarders where Border Town was. Always somehow ending up back there, masked as the happy go lucky girl that she was. But, she had a goal in mind.
It was one fateful evening spent in her home town where she witnesses a devastating bloodbath between a Nukenin and Konohagakure shinobi: somehow succumbing and freezing of fright from the pure witness and devastation from the man, that she was like a deer in headlights having pissed herself when this man was done, unable to move even when he came toward her.
Pathetic, he called her. Sensō, was the words that passed from his lips. A jumbled question by her, for some reason, did he offer her guidance. He shared the words of Sensō, but saw no value in her to kill and so she was spared despite being what some would call an enemy. Her team was later on the scene with her still frozen - but she was a little more grown, a little more prepared.
The man's words were not lost on her, there was no glory in that fight, he said - she was weak, he said. Those words plagued her, and Hanabi wondered if she would ever meet her maker or her parent's killers at all. But whatever monstrous power that man had, she sought out. Textbooks vaguely mentioned it, conversations pulled up nothing. She never came across him again, until it clicked in the method and manner of which he spoke: it was not a thing but a who. A who, meant a God.
At fourteen in
+4SD Hanabi found the god herself, Senso. Asking for a escort to their temple in Mizu no Kuni was a big ask, but they could not deny her on her religious reasons. She made the journey escorted and under the pretence of a religious pilgramige. She came across the temple, prayed: and found her god.
In a way, it clicked with her spirit in more ways than one, it matched her work ethic and her own desires. She cast away arts of chakra and focused on that of the body with no need to ever continue it further. What she had once been was a shadow and today the girl was stepping out of the shadow and into the light.
One day, she would meet that man again and kill him for murdering her kin.

FIGHTING STYLE
The key element of a lack of skill in the other arts plus her chosen religion forbidding her from the use of chakra has required her to operate under a very linear, simple method of fighting: which is attack, attack, attack. Stick to the opponent and make them crumble under her attacks. Because of her choice to focus purely in Taijutsu while relishing in the fight, the teenager relishes in the opportunity to fight in a bloodbath, but for the most part the woman is a merciful fighter in that she does it for the glory and she does not resolve herself to lower tactics of the element of surprise or underhanded ways of fighting.
For that, it is supposed that you could take advantage of this by the use of long range ninjutsu or genjutsu. Similarly, her close combat attitude is reflected by her propensity to get up and close and personal, even though she is limited by this factor she would rather punch and kick rather than grapple and grip, if not to just show her superior prowess.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
『BESERKER』Though not fully actualised at her current rank the teenager is a follower of the Beserker (Sensō) religion. This has bestowed some abilities that will grow with her as she grows in her own personal strength and truth. It will later enhance her with the abilities of untold legends, including stacked against, fog of war and domain of war. Giving her unparalleled access to power of an offensive or defensive nature when the world is stacked against her, gaining a state of hyper awareness or to project a physical form of her own killing intent.
『STAMINA』Being able to fight is no use if you fall short: being physical is an exhausting art, which is why Hanabi has trained relentlessly to go until she drops, both as a byproduct of her work ethic and by an unyielding exercise regime. For that reason, she works better against someone during a prolonged fight, and would sooner wear someone out than the latter.
