【Personality】
Yodai Touho, before her coronation as Windspeaker, was a troubled woman. Nights of dreamless sleeps and sleepless dreams wore at her confidence, at her faith in herself, until her soul was exposed to the elements that govern the realms of body and mind. For most, an exposed soul leads to trepidation, and to doubt, and eventually to the great sleep - but not for Touho. Touho persisted, despite her exposed soul, and faith brought her back from the darkest place she had ever been in. It has been said, all too often, that once you reach rock bottom there is only one way to go - up. From the depths of despair did Touho rise, opening herself fully and truly to Fūjin, and she prospered.
Windspeaker Touho was never particularly determined or passionate in her youth - days would sail by, and she would sail by with them, idly waiting for something exciting or interesting to happen to her. She had daydreams of fantastical adventures, of a higher purpose, and occasionally of what life could have been like if she had taken a different path. For one who dwells in the dark recesses of the idle mind, the light can become hard to bear, and so did Touho retreat further into the depths of imagination. For the longest time she was stuck there, waiting for something to bring her unrealistic dreams to fruition, until before she realised it she was living her life inside a dream, only waking when she retreated deep into slumber and imagination.
Truth is a light that reveals everything - for better or for worse - and for one so used to the darkness the truth can be unwelcome. The truth offers no comfort, only the harsh gaze of reality, and Touho was used to nothing but comfort for most of her younger life. When shown the path, confronted with the great light, it seems like the best thing to do is retreat, and retreat Touho did until she was back in the comfort of the dark. Change rarely comes easily, but despite her initial apprehension Touho soon begun to see sense, to see the illusions that she had wrapped herself in for what they were, and turned to the light with her exposed soul. The light changed her, not because she saw some grand truth and was stricken by epiphany, but because her very soul was exposed to the universal truth - and at that moment she truly began to believe.
After that, Touho had a life of purpose. She was a Windspeaker, one committed thoroughly to Fūjin, and she used her newfound faith to give herself purpose. She is dedicated to her path, and she knows full well that she cannot retreat into the dark like she did as a child. This inner strength has shown itself multiple times, allowing her to make decisions that weaker beings would falter at, and allowing her to live full well with the consequences of her actions. Perhaps it could be said that she has little appreciation for life or anything she does not deem holy; that may well be true, but it gives her the strength to do what she feels she must, and her convictions are true enough to justify her actions - at least, they are to her and to Fūjin.
Touho is polite, well-spoken, and above all else kind. She may not have suffered the awful fates of some, but she knows that only chance spared her from such things and she shows the compassion and mercy towards the broken and less fortunate people that she feels they deserve. She looks after the lessermost people under her care, and through everything cares for them as much as she cares for herself. Certain values are expected of those who claim to be closest to any deity, and Touho delivers fully on these expectations. She is not kind for fear of damnation, or for any corrupt reason, she is kind because she sees herself a hundred thousand times over whenever she looks at anybody less fortunate than herself, and she would never wish the fate of the less fortunate on anybody because she knows how close she was to becoming one of those people.
There are few truly good souls in the world. Most are marred by imperfection and sin, and even those that claim to be truly golden hide behind a thin veneer of hubris. Perhaps Windspeaker Touho is one of these truly good souls - or perhaps she is not. She does not know, and for the most part, she does not care. Windspeaker Touho burdens herself only with her god and with her people - and for her people, there is no decision so hard that she cannot make it. Brutality and lack of emotion may enter into her heart, for a time, if a situation demands it - but above all else she cares for her people. Everything she does is for their wellbeing, and for the prosperity of her god. If this does not make her a truly good soul, then she is not a truly good soul - and at the end of the day, she cares little for titles.
【History】
"Until Fūjin found me, all I knew was hunger. I hungered not only for food, but for purpose, for a reason to go on. Now I have found that reason - or, more accurately - that reason has found me." - Windspeaker Touho
The woman known as Windspeaker Touho started out life as an orphan, her father dead before her birth and her mother dead giving birth to her. In Shimogakure, this was not necessarily an uncommon fate. There were two major paths for an orphan in Shimogakure - to go to an orphanage, where you would be beaten, mistreated, and probably dead within five years... Or to go to the Temple of Fūjin, to be raised as an acolyte, and to be given purpose. Few were given the luxury of the Temple's life, but Windspeaker Touho was chosen - it was said that there was a presence about her that made the priestesses think of Fūjin, and in that respect she was worthy to join the temple.
Touho's early life - or what she remembers of it - was a mixture of chores, scriptures, and more chores. Life was not easy, but every day she ate well and she was kept warm, which was not a feat that all of the inhabitants of Shimogakure could boast. She felt content with her simple life. Days rolled by and as soon as Touho reached the correct age, she was trained in the arts of the Ninja, that she might serve her new god better. At this point, Touho was an arrogant teenager, and she thought she knew everything. She began to doubt that Fūjin even existed, lost faith in the scriptures she had been taught, and rebelled against the system that had spared her from death.
One night, after a particularly intense day of training, Touho found herself at the altar to Fūjin, questioning why she had been put on this path. She must have made some noise, for the revered priestess heard her, and she came over to comfort the young Touho. She explained that Fūjin's winds crossed many paths, and that while the current state of affairs may have seemed bleak, it was just a point on the journey leading Touho to her absolute destination. All she could think was that the revered priestess was full of herself.
Over the years, Touho's training increased and she became increasingly adept at Fūjin's arts, and she began to see more and more how right the revered priestess was. She dedicated herself to Fūjin's cause entirely, opting to join the military ranks of the priesthood, and continued down the path that she was set on. It was the least she could do for the people that saved her from an otherwise horrible life. Unfortunately for Touho and the other Windspeakers, Shimogakure was too close to the rampaging Nine-Tailed Fox and the Temple of Fūjin, as well as the rest of Shimogakure, were utterly destroyed in the rampage. Through some miracle, or perhaps Divine Intervention, Touho and a contingent of acolytes of Fūjin were not killed and spared beneath the rubble of the temple.
With nowhere else to go, Touho led her people out of the ruins of Shimogakure. It took them less than a week to find the village of Kyokujitsu no Tochi, and Touho petitioned Sankage Ayameko to allow the acolytes of Fūjin to stay with those at the holy mountain Fūjin. Ayameko graciously accepted, and Touho went to live at the Temple of Fūjin.
Touho very quickly rose through the ranks of the Windspeakers, being elected as their leader after two short years. Under Touho’s rule the Windspeakers became prosperous and worship of Fūjin gained traction, gathering many followers from the village. Touho personally delivered the children Kisaki and Rin into the world under the grace of Fūjin, and has remained a respected presence in the land ever since, contributing to the stories of Kyokujitsu no Tochi’s hospitability.
Now in her later years, Touho continues to teach the ways of Fūjin to the young acolytes at the temple and occasionally performs missionary services to countries all across the world. Touho can most often be found tending to the poor, helping orphans, or helping deal with issues such as common banditry in between her duties at the Temple of Fūjin.

Name of Technique: Megumi no Fūjin [Grace of the Wind God]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Personal
Nature Type: Fūton
Symbols of Fūjin: 1
Description: By channelling a constant sphere of wind chakra around herself, Windspeaker Touho is able to levitate as if held aloft by currents of wind. She gains a sphere of influence around herself with which she can manipulate wind in myriad ways. The sphere extends six feet from Windspeaker Touho in any given direction. While within the Megumi no Fūjin, Windspeaker Touho is immune to all friendly Fūton techniques. Windspeaker Touho’s control over the wind is so proficient that she is able to essentially fly.
In addition, instead of performing handsigns, Windspeaker Touho is able to invoke symbols of Fūjin with simple movements that are not necessarily restricted to movement of the hands/arms.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
Name of Technique: Megumi no Fūjin: Kin'yoku no Michi [Grace of the Wind God: Path of the Ascetic]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Within the Megumi no Fūjin
Nature Type: Fūton
Symbols of Fūjin: 2
Description: Windspeaker Touho causes the boundaries of the Megumi no Fūjin to intensify greatly after a delay of a second, causing it to deflect physical objects or projectiles without sufficient mass and speed (Standard bullets, for example, would be easily knocked aside due to their low mass) that come near it. By weaving currents of chakra through the wind, the sphere can also become impermeable to unfriendly chakra, but doing so requires intense focus that prevents the use of other techniques and movement.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
Name of Technique: Megumi no Fūjin: Hyōgi-kai no Ishi [Grace of the Wind God: Will of the Council]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Megumi no Fūjin
Nature Type: Fūton
Symbols of Fūjin: 2
Description: Windspeaker Touho creates innumerable blades of wind almost invisible to the naked eye within the confines of the Megumi no Fūjin. The blades cannot leave the sphere, but are so sharp and numerous that almost anything that comes into sustained contact with them will suffer immense damage. The blades can be condensed into single, visible blades that can be launched outwards from the Megumi no Fūjin at a significant reduction in power. The blades are shaped like crescent arcs, and despite their relatively reduced firepower they move very quickly and are difficult to avoid. The blades form after a delay of one second, and dissipate after ten seconds.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
Name of Technique: Megumi no Fūjin: Reitekina Yoroi [Grace of the Wind God: Spiritual Armour]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Personal
Nature Type: Fūton
Symbols of Fūjin: 5
Description: Windspeaker Touho condenses the Megumi no Fūjin, removing all access to its abilities except its levitation and flight, and coats herself in a thick veneer of wind. All physical projectiles without sufficient mass or velocity (Note: This effect is significantly stronger than that of the Megumi no Fūjin) that would come into contact with the armour are deflected, and Windspeaker Touho’s speed is vastly increased (she can move along the ground at a speed of between 50 to 70 feet per second). In addition, Windspeaker Touho’s taijutsu attacks become significantly more deadly, using the force of the wind surrounding her to lacerate the areas she hits subcutaneously. If she would hit an open wound, she is instead able to cause major damage to internal organs in the surrounding area.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
Name of Technique: Kaiko no Fūjin [Wind God’s Dismissal]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Mid
Nature Type: Fūton
Symbols of Fūjin: 1
Description: Windspeaker Touho creates an incredible gust of wind in a single direction, buffeting anything it hits and sending them flying backwards if they do not have sufficient mass or are not sufficiently anchored. The gust persists for ten seconds, gradually decreasing in potency as it does so. If an object moves with the gust, its speed is dramatically increased. While Windspeaker Touho is within the Megumi no Fūjin, she is unaffected by the technique unless she chooses to be.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
Name of Technique: Seidō no Fūjin [Wind God’s Sanctuary]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Mid
Nature Type: Fūton
Symbols of Fūjin: N/A
Description: Windspeaker Touho creates a ring on the ground, up to fifty feet in diameter. The ring creates a stream of wind that physical objects and mana cannot pass through in either direction, allowing her to provide sanctuary to allies or isolate enemies. The wind only lasts for a maximum of sixty seconds. The Sanctuary must form over the course of three seconds.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
Name of Technique: Kamikaze no Fūjin: Ran’un [Wind God’s Divine Whirlwind: Storm Clouds]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Long
Nature Type: Fūton
Symbols of Fūjin: 3
Description: Windspeaker Touho gathers immense amounts of Fūton chakra and unleashes the chakra in a constantly expanding sphere. The sphere will travel for fifty feet before dissipating, carrying any physical objects with insufficient mass or not rooted to the ground with it. As soon as the sphere dissipates, strong winds begin to gather in the area that disrupt movement and leave small lacerations in exposed skin.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
Name of Technique: Kamikaze no Fūjin: Arashi [Wind God’s Divine Whirlwind: Tempest]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Long
Nature Type: Fūton
Symbols of Fūjin: 6
Description: Kamikaze no Fūjin: Arashi cannot be used until Kamikaze no Fūjin: Ran’un has been used.
Windspeaker Touho increases the intensity of the winds created by Ran’un, causing them to become strong enough to cause light cuts through leather armour and cut deeply into exposed flesh. The winds become strong enough that moving against their currents is nigh impossible without a significant amount of physical force, and the winds are so intense at the edges of the technique that physical objects may not enter or leave unless they have sufficient mass or velocity.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
Name of Technique: Kamikaze no Fūjin: Hayate [Wind God’s Divine Whirlwind: Hurricane]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Long
Nature Type: Fūton
Symbols of Fūjin: 12
Description: Kamikaze no Fūjin: Hayate cannot be used until Kamikaze no Fūjin: Arashi has been used.
Windspeaker Touho brings the winds to their most intense level, strong enough to uproot old trees with ease and severely damage plate armour. The area of the technique doubles, and Windspeaker Touho has complete control over the direction of the winds at all times. By focusing on specific areas, Windspeaker Touho is able to manipulate the air pressure in order to achieve various effects, and is able to sharpen the winds to create gusts with the same cutting power as the Wind Release Slash.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
Name of Technique: Namida no Fūjin [Tears of the Wind God]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Medium-Long
Nature Type: Fūton
Symbols of Fūjin: 2
Description: Windspeaker Touho condenses Fūton chakra into orbs, roughly a foot in diameter, and hurls them. At any point along the path, or when the orbs reach a hundred feet away, they explode in a sphere of wind identical to Fūton: Atsugai at maximum power. Windspeaker Touho can only make two orbs per five minutes. The explosion created by the orbs can reach a maximum of a fifty foot radius. The orbs gain in power as they travel, starting as an explosion of twenty five feet and increasing to fifty as they travel to an upper limit of fifty feet away.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
Name of Technique: Ataishinai Handan [Judge Unworthy]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Short - Mid
Nature Type: Fūton/Hyōton
Symbols of Fūjin: 3
Description: Windspeaker Touho manipulates frigid currents of wind to surround a target, trapping them as if they were in the Suirō no Jutsu. Over time, the sheer cold of the wind will begin to induce frostbite in exposed flesh. The prison can only be maintained while it is within two feet of the Megumi no Fūjin, after which it dissipates immediately. The winds form over the course of two seconds, and dissipate if the target leaves a radius of ten feet away from Touho during this time.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
Name of Technique: Keibetsu no Fūjin [Wind God’s Contempt]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Short - Mid
Nature Type: Fūton/Hyōton
Symbols of Fūjin: 1
Description: Windspeaker Touho creates a gust of wind imbued with Hyōton chakra, resulting in a freezing cold gale that can freeze any water or liquid of similar freezing point to water that it comes into contact with. The gale is extremely easy to control, but it cannot leave a fifty foot radius of Windspeaker Touho. The wind is strong enough to knock most standard projectiles off course.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
Name of Technique: Shidō tame Tangan [Plea for Guidance]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Short - Mid
Nature Type: Fūton/Hyōton
Symbols of Fūjin: 3
Description: Windspeaker Touho sends a freezing blast of extremely harsh wind in a direction (the area the wind covers is roughly ten feet wide) and maintains her pose as she does so, prolonging the freezing wind for as long as she maintains the pose. The wind is so cold that ice begins to crystallise on all physical objects caught within it for more than a few seconds, and after four seconds caught in the wind the target is encased in a block of solid ice.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
Name of Technique: Tenno Shimo no Hairetsu [Heavenly Array of Frost]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Short - Mid
Nature Type: Fūton/Hyōton
Symbols of Fūjin: 1
Description: Windspeaker Touho unleashes a fast, expanding sphere of wind from herself, knocking back all enemies without sufficient mass (this technique is strong enough to uproot trees and significantly damage structures). Additionally, the sphere leaves behind a thin veneer of frost chakra, causing any physical objects that pass through it to be coated in the chakra and frozen solid. Tenno Shimo no Hairetsu extinguishes almost all fire that it encounters (very powerful flames not included).
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
Name of Technique: Hōfuku no Fūjin [Wind God’s Retribution]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: S
Range: 100 feet
Nature Type: Fūton/Hyōton
Symbols of Fūjin: 10
Description: Touho manifests an immense symbol of Fūjin in the air in front of her, twenty feet high and twenty feet wide, made of fragile ice. When the symbol is broken, an immense volley of Hyōton chakra is released in a 100 foot radius sphere that creates an exceptionally durable sphere of ice that is hollow inside. The ice is almost completely impervious to flames and physical attacks.
While within the sphere, the body temperature of anybody not within the Megumi no Fūjin will begin to drop drastically, causing severe hypothermia after three minutes. Hyōton techniques within the sphere are twice as powerful as usual.
If the Kamikaze no Fūjin: Hayate is within the bounds of the technique as it created, the storm will encompass the entirety of the interior of the sphere of ice.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
Name of Technique: Akishimo no Gishiki [Rite of Frostfall]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: S
Range: Mid - Long
Nature Type: Fūton/Hyōton
Symbols of Fūjin: 10
Description: Windspeaker Touho prepares a vast amount of Hyōton and Fūton chakra, and unleashes an immense hailstorm in a three hundred foot radius around herself. The storm is so vicious and so cold that enemies with insufficient insulation will succumb to frostbite and hypothermia rapidly. The winds are not particularly strong, but if this technique and Kamikaze no Fūjin: Hayate are used simultaneously, the result is a storm so powerful that it threatens destruction on the scale of the Bijuu.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
Name of Technique: Totsuzen no Akishimo [Sudden Frostfall]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Personal - Short
Nature Type: Hyōton
Symbols of Fūjin: 6
Description: Windspeaker Touho emits a freezing ring of energy from her body up to twenty feet in range. Two seconds after the ring has passed through a physical object, it is completely coated in ice and begins to sink into a deep freeze. Totzusen no Akishimo will completely disable all machinery that it affects.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
