|Clan - Bloodline|Seitsugen used to be a pacific, but powerful clan. They have no bloodline, but they were somewhat known for their hidden ability that was used to summon spiritual animals that could help and aid them in combat. The clan was also known for their ability to push their own bodies' limits using these spirit animals' strength, but this is a dangerous technique and very rarely used by them.

||Character Appearances|||Appearance|Reiko dresses simply. She wears a black jacket with her clan's kanji inscribed on the back and a plain white shirt underneath. Dark green pants cover her legs until they are tucked onto a pair of black ninja sandals. Some satchels can be seen on her waist, as well a smaller one on the side of her left thigh.
||Personal Information|||Personality|Serious, cold and stoic. Her eyes seem lifeless and one could likely assume that she's as distracted as a wall; that's not true, though. It's quite the opposite. Despite her apathic nature, Reiko is excellent at observation and she takes mental notes of nearly everything that happens to her. She's intelligent and tactical, nearly by nature, and often gives every single of her actions extra thought. She's not reckless in the slightest and knows her limits very well - though, that's not to say she's not willing to push them further.
Reiko is dedicated and focused, she dreams of becoming sufficiently powerful to make her clan's name known across the whole shinobi world. To some, that is a void, empty dream but to Reiko, it's everything she has to strive for. The death of her parents have changed a lot about her, she seems less caring about company and friendship and will often state how she finds those a waste of time; to her, the only manner of getting stronger is through fighting, learning and training.
HistoryBefore telling Reiko's story, one should know before the story of the Seitsugen clan. This clan used to be a pacific yet powerful clan that resided in the outskirts of Konohagakure, having a very small village of their own, they made a living with agriculture, trading and craftwork. Despite this, most of their members trained heavily between themselves and always aimed to improve their abilities. They also followed a very spiritual lifestyle, believing deeply in the existance of spirit animals that protected them from any danger... Until.
A disgrace happened that changed completely the Seitsugen clan. Their small settlement was invaded by a group of rogue ninjas that stole for a living. This wasn't the first time this happened though, as a powerful clan, they could defend themselves easily from most who tried to steal from them... This group, however, they were different - from their vicious look to their cruel ways, as well as their immense power. When they came, those who tried to face them were brutally killed and all that was left was either burnt by their powerful Katon ninjutsu, or only bloodied body parts.
The strongest Seitsugen hurried to battle, between those warriors was Reiko's father; enraged after the loss of his wife to those horrible bandits. He used the clan's most dangerous technique, which was to infuse his spirit with the the dragon's spirit: this increased his power beyond comprehension, he could move at speeds which even the trained eyes of those rogue-nin couldn't keep up, his punch could utterly destroy the insides of whoever dared stand in it's path and his ninjutsu was so powerful, that he could produce entire rivers of water from his own chakra.
This man, known as Uruka Seitsugen, together with three other Seitsugen, saved their clan remaining members. However, they gave their own life to it: This was the power and the cost of the clan's Fukikomimasu technique, which used their faith and the spirit of an animal that watched over them to convert this spirit into power; the cost, was that the energy was so volatile that it took the user's life-force when it ended.
Now, we move onto Reiko's story. She was born four years before the incident, and only survived because her grandmother hid together with the young child and only left their hideout when the bandits had been slaughtered. Akayama was the mother of Reiko's mother, and an immensively strong woman. She hugged her granddaughter, without allowing a single tear to drop from her eyes in front of the child. But, there was only so little she could do; this event marked the young girl for her whole life. It literally took all sense of feelings from her, as she saw every single happy moment she had lived until this point... dead, in front of her.
After this, Akayama took Reiko and brought her to Konohagakure, she explained what happened to the guards and after a long discussion and a large amount of yen being thrown around, she was allowed to move inside - not only that, she immediately bought a house within the village. It wasn't honorable to do such with the money of the many fallen Seitsugen, but it was the only option she had to give her granddaughter a safer life.
Eventually, as Reiko grew up, she developed the undying desire of seeing this world living peacefully, just like her clan used to before the incident. However, she noticed that in order to do such, she'd need to adquire an immense power, sufficient to destroy
everything that she deemed evil. That's how she got herself enrolled in the academy and proved to be a very skilled young girl. Luckily, she wasn't relying only on the academy to learn something, but from her grandmother's advices and trainings as well, such as the clan's hidden techniques.
Because of this, she easily graduated with very high grades, and now, officially a genin, she's set on her desire to go further and obtain the power she craves to use it against all that's evil.

Canon Jutsu:Body Flicker TechniqueClone TechniqueBody Replacement TechniqueLightning Release - Lightning Beast Tracking Fang||Custom Jutsu||Name of Technique: Spirit Call - Rabbit
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: E~A (Depends on user's ability, currently: C)
Range: Self
Nature Type: Yang Release (Hidden)
Handseals: Dog, Hare
Description: The user concentrates not only their chakra but also their spirit, summoning forth a creature that can aid them in combat. The rabbit is the most basic spirit animal that the Seitsugen can call forth, they are used to track and scout.
Weakness: The rabbit can be disabled with any attack, literally. Any single attack will dissipate the chakra - which will actually return to the user.
====================
Name of Technique: Spirit Merge - Rabbit
Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu (?)
Rank: E~A (Depends on user's ability, currently: C)
Range: Self
Nature Type: Yang Release (Hidden)
Handseals: Hare, Dog
Description: If the spirit animal - rabbit - is currently summoned, it will be used as a source of power for a Sentsugen clan member. After the handseals, the user extends it's palm towards the spirit animal and absorbs it's chakra back onto their body, however, with added spiritual energy, it will increase the user's
speed temporarily. Each spirit animal has a different effect and the rabbit is the weakest one. The speed increase depends on the user's ability, currently, Reiko can only achieve the speed of a very fit shinobi, but it will tire her a lot after use.
Weakness: Large cost, all of the spirit merge hidden techniques cause a temporary negative effect within the user's body. For example, using this technique more than thre times a day can lower all of Reiko's resistance to diseases such as the common flu, and she'll need to rest for a long time after.
