Nekoyama Midori
“As a medical-nin my duty is to my team and those injured, but keep messing with me and I'll break your nose and heal it just so I can break it again!”The spitting image of her mother, Midori stands at an average 5'6" and weighs in at a healthy 128lbs. Broad shouldered, with shoulder blade length brown hair, thin brown eyebrows sit above long eyelashes and the Nekoyama Clans ancestral wide, golden eyes. With a shapely, yet athletic figure, Midori's physical strength is visible through toned calves and muscular biceps. Small scars from old cat scratches cover her arm and legs, while the rest of her peach colored skin is relatively smooth and unscathed. She dons the traditional shinobi garb of mid-calve black sandals, with the Kumogakure headband sitting at the top of her head. High waisted, knee length shorts made with insulating material to withstand Kumo's cool weather covers her legs, while a short sleeved shirt made with similar material sits beneath a ton colored, and collared tunic. Bearing the Nekoyama Clan symbol of the slitted Cat Eye on the back of her tunic, a similar belt that matches the collar of her shirt is wrapped around her waist. Carrying medical supplies in a pouch attached to her belt, various basic shinobi tools are latched on to her right thigh in a small grey holster.

Nekoyama Clan - Among the oldest clans in the Land of Lightning, the Nekoyama Clan is a ninja family known for using Ninneko as fighting companions. Easily singled out by their golden cat-like eyes, the Nekoyama Clan carry the Kekkei Genkai known as Neko no Seishin, or Cat's Spirit. Able to ride their feline companions once reaching adulthood, the Nekoyama Clan's Ninneko are capable of transforming into larger cats that resemble their more feral cousins. As family legendhistory states, the Nekoyama Clan has long held relationships with the Bakeneko's of the Shinobi world. Holding these beasts to near Deity pedestals, the first Ninneko companions were rumored to be Bakeneko's, but as time passed the Nekoyama Clan joined the few shinobi families to hold a contract with the Ninneko of Sora-ku.
Past traditions that have long been forgotten stated a time when the feline companions of the clan were bred with the Ninneko of Sora-ku, but after the third great war many of the felines in the crime ridden city migrated with the Nekoyama Clan into the tall mountains of Kumogakure. Highly intelligent and capable of speech, their heightened senses make for great investigative skills. It is through intensive shinobi training that a Ninneko's true potential shines, bringing out their agile speed and flexibility, while also teaching of the strength that lays in their ancestral ties from clan and kin. Living just as long as their human counterparts, Ninneko and Nekoyama shinobi share an unbreakable bond that begins at birth, and with age this bond and the strength between them only grows stronger.
【Rank】
Chūnin
Psych. report.Medical secrecy applies.【Personality】
Behind a kind smile and an empathetic nature, Midori is a short tempered, and prideful kunoichi. A medical-nin first, and a kunoichi of Kumogakure second, her true passion in life is helping others and those in need. Looking up to her mother who works at Kumogakure Hospital as lead Surgeon, her parental idolization is the true inspiration of her internal goals and dreams. While her conversation skills are certainly not the best, Midori cherishes the bonds she shares with her team, be it that she gets along with them or not. Considering them to be an extended branch of her own family, Midori holds her relationship with her family and her clan above all else. As the eldest child of the Clan Leader, Midori believes herself to be the rising face of her growing clan. With this in mind, she tries her best with first impressions, attempting to look as professional and experienced as she can.
As levelheaded as she tries to present herself, Midori has an extremely short temper. Foul mouthed in the worst of times, and snappy a majority of the time. Through personal training and meditation she has learned to control her aggression during key operations, but stressful conditions and situations can wear her patience thin. This can cause Midori to act impulsively or, on rare occasions, break her own medical-nin oath. This is easily her biggest fault, and with it comes inklings of self-doubt. Despite her displayed confidence, Midori struggles with apathetic tendencies. Setting high expectations for herself, failure of reaching her own standards can easily leave her crestfallen. She does her best not to stay down for long, and through time and taking out her stress through sparring and personal studying, Midori will return to her prideful and confident self.
【History】
0 - 6
Brought into the world on a hot summer day in August, Midori was born into the Nekoyama Clan as the first child of Clan Leader, Nekoyama Hideo. A happy baby, and a rambunctious toddler who often handled her Ninneko companion just a little bit too roughly, Midori's parent's began to notice a change in their bubbly little girl as she aged surrounded by her older cousins and family members within the Clan. From sweet, and tender, Midori became loud mouthed, and stubborn. Her passive nature was thrown out the door as rough housing was constantly provided by her cousins, and had it not been for her Ninneko companions constant scolding as they grew together, Midori might have grown to be a real spoiled brat. Despite this behavior, her relationship with her parents, especially her mother, grew greatly overtime as she became interested in the impact and history of Medical ninjutsu. Her mothers career held a heavy impact on the girl, and with this new interest, Midori made it known to her parents that she wanted to join the Academy and become a Kunoichi. With no reason to tell her no, and believing it to be a good chance for her to put her focus elsewhere besides her budding aggression, she was registered at the Academy and began her years as a student shortly after her sixth birthday.
6 - 13
During the first years at the Academy, Midori was overconfident and impulsive. Her obvious skill and potential had made her relatively snobbish, but during the passing years her potential came to a stand-still. Unlike the other students, she struggled to grow stronger. Her bigheadedness had gotten the best of her, and still young and immature, Midori took her anger out on those around her. With a quick temper that led her to lashing out at others, she was often reprimanded and scolded until the threat of expulsion finally hung above her head. Terrified of failing not only her parents, but herself, Midori finally sought help. In her search, it was her father of all people to teach her the ways of meditation. While it didn't snuff out her fiery nature, the coping mechanism allowed her to control her compulsive behavior to a point, while also aiding her to focus, and better her concentration. This method seemed to pay off as her grades soared, and performance excelled within the following years. Witnessing this accomplishment in herself, Midori laid down high expectations for herself upon graduation, putting her full focus in her personal goals and growth. She took the title of Genin with great pride, and once she was assigned to a team, Midori began her career as a Kunoichi with her head held high.
13 - 18
As a Genin, Midori had found true freedom through missions and operations. Gaining experience right from the field, she was able to put her basic medical knowledge to great use. It was these acts that finally brought her under the wing of her mother. Outside of her training with her squad, and during her free time from missions, Midori was taught the art of medical ninjutsu. While her interest in the skill was already great, her world quickly revolved around studying the history and techniques of the greatest medical-nin to date. The famous Konoha Sannin, Senju Tsunade. Her feats, along with her pupil, Haruno Sakura's, extraordinary skill all but fueled Midori to strive for more.
Overtime her chakra control became more precise, and as the Chunin Exam sat just around the corner, Midori's mother put her medical training to a pause. If she was going to pass the exam, she would need to know more than just medical ninjutsu, and thus began her training in the defensive and offensive arts of a medical-nin. While they had touched on the subject early on in their training, Midori was put through painful and exhausting conditioning. Up to the final week of the exam, her body had been pushed to the limit, but it was through this instruction that Midori was able to pass the Chunin Exam. Her knack for defensive tactics had easily tired out her opponent, and in one great roar, she blew her opponent out of the ring and won her match.
【Family ties】
The Nekoyama Clan has lived by the same motto for centuries, "A cat has nine lives. For three he plays, for three he strays, and for the last three he stays." Raised by this proverb, Midori was privileged to grow up in a household that allowed her great freedom in both expression, and decision making. Not every member of the Nekoyama Clan are Shinboi, and besides her immediate family, more than half of Midori's family members are regular citizens of Kumogakure. Influenced by her parents, however, it was through her mothers influence and impact as a Medical-nin that gave Midori the need to become a Kunoichi.
Raiden | Companion / Best Friend | 17, Kumogakure, Ninneko |
A long tailed, slender black cat, Raiden is a complacent and analytical feline. Her mother often jokes that he is Midori's consciousness, despite her obvious hatred for his constant chastising. Despite their bickering, Raiden is easily Midori's best friend. Caring for each an equally great amount, Raiden has put himself in harms way countless times for his partner. Much like his kin, the Ninneko can transform into a larger form, baring a heavy resemblence to a oversized panther.
Nekoyama 'Minami' Noriko | Mother | 43, Kumogakure, Medical-Nin / Jounin |
Once a Kunoichi from Konohagakure, Minami Noriko came from a small clan without any special abilities. A kind and compassionate young woman, Noriko had taken on a team of her own early on in her career as a Jounin. During a mission that required her team to travel to Kumogakure, she was aided by a Kumogakure Shinobi and his own team. It was here that she met Nekoyama Hideo. Early on in his prime, she saw him as another overly confident Shinobi as he sought after during the entire duration of the mission. Casualty ensued as an unexpected ambush resulted in the death of a young Genin on Hideo's team. Heavily injured during the mission, Noriko brought the young Heir back from the brink of death, and upon returning to consciousness she delivered the grim news. The bigheaded Shinobi she had met at the beginning of the mission had become a sobbing and weak man. Moved by his true feelings, she stayed in touch with Hideo once she returned to Konoha. It wasn't long that she formed a long distance relationship with him, and once her team became established Jounin, Noriko requested a transfer to become an official Medical-nin in Kumogakure. From there, Noriko and Hideo grew closer, and over the course of three years they married and had children. Focusing on her own passion as a Medical-nin, Noriko quickly rose in the ranks within the hospital. Through further training and experience, she became the head Surgeon at Kumogakure Hospital in less than a decade, and easily became Midori's biggest role model.
Nekoyama Hideo | Father | 46, Kumogakure, Jounin |
Easily the most loudmouthed man in Kumogakure, Nekoyama Hideo is a tall, burly man who is widely known for his massive lion-like companion. Seen as a troublemaker during his younger days, he quickly grew out of his pranking and aggressive habits once he became a Shinobi. The now Clan Leader still retains his loud mouthed and overenthusiastic nature, maybe even more so as he aged over time. As intimidating as he comes off as, Hideo holds great empathy with others. A trait he often boasts he passed down to his eldest. Despite being a huge softie, Hideo is willing to put his life on the line for his clan and village. A man of honor and integrity, his confidence and courage has always held a great impact on Midori's views and morals.
Nekoyama Rin | Sister | 14, Kumogakure, Genin |
Bratty little sister, a huge asshole, and will probably steal your boyfriend.
Nekoyama Ran | Sister | 14, Kumogakure, Genin |
Another little asshole. Never pays for her own lunch, and will probably steal your girlfriend.
Nekoyama Tetsuo | Brother | 10, Kumogakure, Academy Student |
Sweet, innocent flower, too pure for this world.
【Dreams and fears】
With a heavy interest in Medical Ninjutsu, Midori has long looked up to the legendary Sannin, Tsunade, and her esteemed pupil, Haruno Sakura. With great interest in the two Kunoichi, even before her years within the Academy, Midori dreams of one day surpassing their greatness and mastering the Sōzō Saisei technique. Her drive to find the proper teacher for such a goal is what fuels her continued pursuit in medical knowledge, and defensive tactics while on the battlefield. Midori is easily her biggest enemy. Her easily triggered temper has been an obstacle she has struggled to get around from for years. Fearing the day that her temper gets the best of her and she puts, not only herself, but own team in danger, Midori has since found herself devoting much more time meditating now that she's become a Chūnin. This would be the greatest let down of all, and the thought of it strikes fear into Midori's heart during every operation.

Fighting style】
With the addition of her training in the Academy, Midori has devoted her studies and time to the ways of a medical-nin. Following the four rules that govern medical-nin, her offense revolves around a good defense. Dodging and deflection are her forte, while precise chakra control allows Midori to counter back with chakra fused punches and kicks that grant her monstrous strength. A skilled and confident taijutsu user, her preference for hand to hand combat is visible on the field, and during one on one confrontations. Not one to rush in without a strategy, Midori specializes in healing, support, and when the need is there -- muscle.
With a flexible combat style Midori is a force of her own while by herself, but alongside Raiden, the Nekoyama Clan's revered cooperative ninjutsu and taijutsu style easily mixes in with her own technique. Favoring the Jūjin Bushin technique, Midori and Raiden have trained together on cooperative techniques and combination moves for many years. Both favor taijutsu when in this form, and thanks to her precise chakra control, Midori has an eye for catching and canceling Genjutsu's.【
Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】
Bloodline limit name:猫の精神 Neko no Seishin: Cat's SpiritDescription:A body enhancement and dōjutsu based kekkei genkai, Neko no Seishin is a technique genetically passed down through the head family of the Nekoyama Clan that manifests in it's most basic shape within the eye. When activated, a sensitive reflective layer forms beneath the retina allowing passing light to reflect back into the eye, granting the user the ability to see in the dark. The pupils are capable of contracting and narrowing, allowing the eye to slit as to reduce the amount of light on the sensitive retina while also improving depth of field. With training and experience, the kekkei genkai begins to effect the body, enhancing both speed and strength at the expense of exhaustion huge amounts of chakra. Only witnessing the final form while watching her father train, Neko no Seishin causes an almost feral transformation. Teeth sharpening and nails growing out like claws, highly sensitive whiskers sprout from the cheeks of the user, aiding sensation and navigation. The numerous nerve endings within the whiskers grant extraordinarily detailed information about nearby air movements, or objects they come into contact with.Strengths:By far, Neko no Seishin's true strength lies within its dojūtsu abilities. Tapping into this power during her first year as a Genin, Midori has long pushed back training this technique. Before her apprenticeship beneath her mother, she studied shortly under her father to get a basic grasp of her clan's kekkei genkai. It was through these short teachings that Midori learned how to use the dojūtsu ability of the technique. Having yet to grasp the full potential of the technique, as well as its feral form, Midori has since only used her kekkei genkai on the field a handful of times.Weaknesses:A skill that requires in-depth, and personal instruction, Neko no Seishin is a chakra guzzling kekkei genkai that makes the user susceptible to harm without the proper training. Like a muscle in need of conditioning, Midori has yet to train her eyes to handle the granted ability for long periods of time. A throbbing pressure builds overtime beneath her eyes, and when ignored, said pain turns into blurry vision and debilitating migraines. Not only ineffective during the day, Neko no Seishi's dojūtsu ability is vulnerable to daylight and bright flashes. Capable of temporarily, or even permanently blinding the user when exposed to bright light, Midori avoids using her kekkei genkai during the day at all cost.
An experienced user is capable of avoiding the activation of the dojūtsu ability while using Neko no Seishi, but with little experience herself and having yet to even tap into the feral power of her kekkei genkai, Midori is unable to do so. The feral effects of the technique can be overpowering to inexperienced user, as well. Pulling them in to an enraged mindset that does nothing but exhaust great amounts of chakra, this state puts the user into a vulnerable position thanks to impulsive behaviors and lack of clear thought. However, like any cat, a Nekoyama's greatest crutch is water. When drenched, or thrown into a pool of water, the kekkei genkai is almost immediately cancelled -- and to make matters worst, most members of the Nekoyama clan cannot swim.【

Jutsu name:
風遁: 獅子咆哮 Futon: Shishi no Hōkō - Lion's RoarRank:CRange:Short - MediumDescription:A technique taught to her just days before the Chūnin exam, Shishi no Hōkō is a Clan technique that is passed down through the Nekoyama Clan shinobi. Developed from the Fūton: Daitoppa technique, and given some Nekoyama flare, by concentrating chakra within the lungs the technique user is capable of releasing a powerful gust of wind by roaring. The wind from the roar can blow all things in Midori's way, and in a more experienced Nekoyama's care, the technique can even knock down a tree.Jutsu name:兄弟虎の爪 Kyōdai Tora no Tsume - Mighty Tiger ClawsRank:CRange:Short - MediumDescription:An offspring of the Fūton: Reppūshō technique, with a heavy mix of Taijutsu, this move was developed by none of than Midori's father during his later years as a Chūnin. Concentrating chakra within the fists and nails, the user is capable of creating gusts of compressed air by curling their fingers and slashing the air. When finely concentrated in the hands of her father, the compressed air can cut down a tree or create visible lacerations within stone. With precise chakra control, Midori learned this technique with ease. Unlike her father who can cat down trees with a single strike, her training has granted her the ability to leave deep cuts on trees and within dirt. Still learning how to mix this technique with her own style, Midori's moves can come off as sluggish, or at worst, sloppy. Leaving her with multiple openings, and making her vulnerable to hits or attacks.Jutsu name:猫ひっかき熱 Neko Hikkaki-Netsu - Cat Scratch FeverRank:BRange:Short - MediumDescription:A cooperative Ninjutsu technique passed down among the clan that mixes taijutsu, and the Jujin Bushin technique, chakra is concentrated within the legs, fists, and nails as Midori and Raiden take to all fours. Enhancing their speed and strength at the expense of chakra, Midori and Raiden are capable of moving around the field at extreme speeds and laying powerful blows. Mixed with the Neko no Seishin technique, with the addition of fangs and claws, this move can allow the users nails to cut through stone or pierce skin with ease. Taking on Midori's shape upon transformation, Raiden is at his weakest in this form. Despite their training, physically Raiden cannot handle a full on blow from an attack or jutsu. In such cases, Midori will either cancel the jutsu or regress to a weaker state. Fighting on all fours by herself is not her forte, and without her companion she puts herself in a vulnerable state as the technique requires an excessive amount of chakra. Susceptible to ninjutsu and taijutsu attacks, Midori will avoid using this technique if Raiden is not by her side.【
