| Dreams and fears: |
Though she never originally intended to become a kunoichi, Chikage had always been a little different from the rest of her family. She had more energy than they did and was never content with living an idle lifestyle. She was getting into trouble from the day she could crawl. Though not the sharpest tool in the shed she was not without her curiosity and willingness to learn, though her interests lay in more exciting things in life than simply running a store or crafting toys. It wasn't until a few years into the Winter did Chikage begin on her path to becoming a shinobi.
The first to succumb to the Winter in her family was her father, who refused to eat as a measure of keeping the rest of the Yoshitaka household alive. Then went her grandmother, to pneumonia. Her mother would share the same fate within a year. Losing her family took its toll on young Chikage. She had nothing to do and was generally suffering before she had emotional trauma. At the suggestion of her grandfather to avoid being idle, to distract herself from the miserable reality, Chikage entertained the idea of joining the Ninja Academy and doing something new and exciting. She was already predisposed to seeking cool and new things so her grandfather signed her up.
As it turned out there was a good reason nobody in the Yoshitaka family had ever tried to become a shinobi. She wasn't really good at it. Instructors found her chakra was weak and Chikage herself wasn't a very quick learner when it came to the basics despite all her effort. She tried and certainly improved over time, but her frantic nature and slow taking to ninjutsu made the instructors assume she wouldn't ever graduate. However it was found that she could make up for some of her weakness with shurikenjutsu, being that she had a very accurate throw. This wasn't enough. Just before all hope was lost and Chikage would be gripped by the cold fingers of depression, she was introduced to exploding tags.
Enthralled with the explosive nature, Chikage decided to infiltrate an armory and steal from their cache of tags to train with. Despite the apparent danger of such actions, as usually little girls with bombs don't come out alive, she had just enough of an appreciation for the danger as to not kill herself. In fact it inspired her to find out how to get explosives of her own once she exhausted her supply of stolen exploding tags. Though Chikage was never considered booksmart her mind became like a steel trap with the introduction of bombs to her life. She researched in secret and practiced making her own exploding tags and various other kinds of explosive materials in the basement of the Yoshitaka home. At least for a few days before one of her homemade bombs detonated. Though she lived to tell the tale and the house didn't collapse, as the explosion was only small enough to destroy her "lab" table, it did scar her arms and alert the authorities of her actions.
After a brief inquisition into what Chikage had done the Academy had to consider expelling her. This was dangerous business after all and she wasn't that great of a student anyways. But with her new knowledge and arsenal of bombs they were willing to give her another chance at becoming a shinobi and putting her new talent to use. She barely graduated from the Academy at the bottom of her class, scoring very low on all her tests but just enough to pass. To everyone's surprise she then went on to perform exceptionally well as a genin in the field. In combat situations, at least. Friends and foe alike were stunned and frightened by her wanton destruction. Some witnesses consider it a miracle that her seemingly indiscriminate attacks haven't killed anyone she didn't intend them to. It didn't take long for her to get a reputation for her explosive style.
Unfortunately Chikage has remained a genin for almost four years now. While she has proven that she can easily kill her enemies, and have fun doing it too, she has noticeably been lacking in other vital aspects of being shinobi. The Hokage has noted her incredible irresponsibility as one of the key factors in being unable to be promoted, even going so far as to say that Chikage is plainly dumb when it comes to anything but blowing stuff up. She has no other valuable skills and has to completely rely on the leadership of others lest she default to her back-up plan of destroying everything. Despite her youth she has racked up some of the most collateral damage in the Land of Fire, costing Konoha a sizeable amount of money every year to repair the damages. Despite not being promoted this doesn't seem to bother Chikage much at all. She's been perfectly content to remain a genin. She only cares to have something to entertain herself with, be it a mission or whatever else may come with the lifestyle. She can only enjoy herself with the fleeting experiences such as combat. If her hands remain idle too long she begins to drift away from her sanity. The reckless, almost suicidal action is much preferred over any silence that forces her to remember the Winter. Being "Bomb Girl" is merely a coping mechanism, but nobody would be able to tell that just by looking. The fun Chikage has while blowing up her enemies does a good job for masking her problems.

| Family biography: |
The Yoshitaka family has been resident to Konohagakure for four generations by now, having prior existed in the region since before the village was founded. Far too small to be considered a clan and far too lacking in achievement to be considered well-known, the Yoshitaka lineage has been filled with primarily farmers prior to Konoha's existence. The more recent generations since had been more varied in their professions, adapting to the city lifestyle and leaving the farm behind. Most recently they have come to own a toy store, though business had been rocky during the Winter and left the family rather poor. The Winter took more than just their wealth but also lives, leaving Chikage and her grandfather as the remaining members of the Yoshitaka family.

| Dreams and fears: |
Some may find it hard to believe, but the seemingly fearless Chikage has her mental weaknesses. Who would guess that someone perfectly willing to strap bombs to themselves would fear anything? Certainly not death. But rather Chikage fears having nothing to do, as her mind is quick to wander and she will eventually go into a depression. Her memories of her deceased family and hard life before becoming a shinobi still haunts her and she's afraid that she will never forget. In fact her greatest hope is that one day she will be able to forget all her bad memories and be able to only have fun. All she wants in life is to enjoy herself, learn new things, and meet new people, but she believes that can never happen while she can still remember sad things. Sadness is her worst enemy and she wants nothing more than to be rid of that emotion entirely.

| Fighting style: |
Surprising literally no one, Chikage earned the title of "Bomb Girl" for her aptitude in the preparation and use of explosives. She isn't much of a front-line fighter, but she excels at mid-range combat where she can throw things at her opponents. Usually bombs. Chikage is also incredibly dangerous in ambushes or surprise attacks, using the element of surprise to her advantage for lethal results. She is actually on the stealthier side and prefers the ambush approach to any combat scenario. Enemies that are not focused on her or are otherwise preoccupied are her prime targets. If she has to pelt them with explosives from range or if she can surprise them with a trap, it doesn't matter to her. The only times she has issues is when her opponents get in close which often prompts her to retreat to avoid the beating she would surely receive. She will never fight close-quarters unless there was no other choice. Though at that point it may not be in her opponent's best interests to corner her like that being that she is known as "Bomb Girl"...

Description
The only named technique that Chikage has in her repertoire outside of standard techniques. It is simple in design, serving to mask explosive tags to perfectly match the appearance of whatever surface they are applied to as a camouflage. Only this can be done to many explosive tags over a wide area. This allows Chikage to plant undetectable bombs throughout a battlefield. This gives the illusion that Chikage can make things in her vicinity explode at random but this does require some preparation beforehand to be useful. If she is seen using this technique it kills the surprise and alerts the enemy to her strategy. A personal favorite for Chikage is to use this technique while her enemies are occupied fighting teammates, planting bombs around the avenues of escape they may take so as to kill them when they retreat.

"Chikage Surprise"
Weapon, tool, or object type
Explosive
Description
The "Chikage Surprise" isn't surprising to anyone who knows Chikage. Essentially a suicide vest that Chikage wears underneath her normal garb, meticulously (and uncharacteristically) designed to have failsafes and be impossible to accidentally detonate. Composed primarily of exploding tags, vast quantities of them, this "Surprise" has been intended to use as a last resort or a means to avoid being captured by enemies. Morbid intentions aside, Chikage is also perfectly willing to use it as a bluff and intimidate people within her vicinity to bending to her will by threatening their lives. Though Chikage has yet to test this exact vest, previous tests with prototypes indicate that the blast radius is sufficient to her intended purposes. In her own words: "I have to worry about not taking my comrades with me more than the enemies escaping. I probably won't feel a thing but not so sure about anyone else..."
