Additional Appearance Details: Standing at 5'6 and weighing average for her age, Keikoku was an early bloomer, possessing a filled out figure and fairly mature face despite her youth. She always wears a scarf around her neck regardless of the temperature or occasion.
Fame: N/A.
Personality: A young woman of fiery passion and calculated intelligence, Keikoku looks at the world through a harsh lens instilled by her growing up during wartime, or at least in the aftermath of such. She sees most people either as a means to her ends or as monsters wearing masks of kindness. As such she trusts few and enjoys the company of even fewer. However, she is an actress and a marvelous one at that, allowing her to appear pleased or even positively enamored with someone, or the opposite of such, to fool her way into the good graces of those around her. However, this is not her only skill as Keikoku is an incredibly intuitive woman, tending to prefer going with her gut rather than following the spirit of the rules. With this intuition she not only makes decisions, but analyzes people, allowing her to easily pick up on the various nuances that make every individual, well, unique.
Still, while Keikoku may seem like the perfect girl on the outside and a manipulative bitch on the level just below she is in fact quite vulnerable at her core. Her acting is just that, acting, and her analytical and often socially destructive nature is a defense mechanism to keep people from getting to close. This is apparent almost solely when she is away from prying eyes, but with her team, or outright alone where her suppressed kindness and fierce loyalty make themselves known. In truth she is a team player with a strong sense of justice and an even more indomitable will.
History: Her family new to the village, Keikoku was born to a place unfamiliar to her parents, though they were welcomed there nonetheless. She grew up amongst adults who spoke of seals and jutsu while she played with her toys. She was encouraged to follow in her parent's footsteps and when it came down to it she was happy to do so. After all from a very young age her eyes would always light up when her parents spoke of their craft. It was so intricate and pretty back then, though as she grew old enough to understand they became more than just pretty symbols and instead became intricate and beautiful, though in a totally different way. They were complex and figuring them out was a puzzle that she felt driven to complete.
So it was that she joined the academy and eventually, in a relatively normal amount of time, graduated. Nonetheless she excelled, looked up to by her peers or disliked because of her talents. There was bullying because of their jealousy, but eventually she adapted, finding that it was far easier to play their little mind games better than they could then to relent and endure their jeers and petty pranks. When she graduated she didn't really expect that much would change, but as the days went on and she trained with her team she grew close to the two...protective even though perhaps not as much as she should have been.
This lack of protectiveness and a stern voice was what, in her mind, landed her and Kicho in a dangerous situation when they went on their first mission despite their sensei asking them to do otherwise. Not only did they leave Kareha behind to do it, but they overestimated their skills, with Kicho deciding to rashly rush in. Captured and at the mercy of the more experienced shinobi, Kicho's eyes had pleaded for her help, but she could do nothing in fear that the man would hurt her friend.
If it weren't for Kareha perhaps the two of them would be dead...or worse, captured by the enemy. Luckily that wasn't how things had played out. Nonetheless, ever since that day Keikoku has never once let her own doubt get in the way of protecting her teammates be it from others or themselves. She has come to respect Kareha's cautious and quiet nature and to value Kicho's decisiveness and lack of hesitation despite their individual faults.
She does her best to excel where they do not in hopes that should the day come that they are in a dangerous situation as before that they will be ready—if not individually, then together.
