Naomi let out a slow breath as she let the cool evening air touch her skin and fill he with a sense of awareness of her surroundings that would have been an unknown feeling to anyone that hadn’t either meditation or had the gifts of the Byakugan. The sound of the fluttering water in a small stream that flowed its way through the greenery that surrounded her: she was in a large green field that had been tastefully decorated with various artistic touches and had its greenery cut up and molded in order to fit the flow of the streams that led into the large lake in front of her: it was a garden, though the size of it was beyond anything akin to a normal gard - it was one of the benefits of being born as the heir of the powerful Hyuuga clan: even in this modern industrialized age their power meant that they owned real-estate that covered many acres and were filled with forests, mountains and their own small part of the city.
Naomi had been a keen student of meditation since her early ages as a ninja: she found that she could connect better with herself and the nature than with most people and through meditating she could train her mind and her skills through mental exercises - and this was her favourite location: in front of the large dark lake in the middle of a small opening of a forest, the moon hung high above her yet its size made it appear so close. The only thing that pierced the silence around her was her own breathing, the whisper of the wind and the bird’s singing in the distance. She had no idea how long she had actually there, but her peace was suddenly shattered by the disruptive noise of her mobile phone.
Naomi let out the breath she had been holding before she opened her eyes and let the light that bounced off the lake’s surface shine into her eyes. A smile had started to sneak its way onto her face as the ringing of her phone kept piercing the otherwise silent evening air. Without even looking at her phone she knew that there was only really two people that would contact her at this time - and considering her last meeting with one of them it was only really one person that would contact her now: Yamato.
She picked her phone out from her pocket and looked at the bright display that fought with the white moon to blind her - yet neither succeeded, instead the phone delivered its message as it was supposed to:

“Hi, r u coming to the party? Y did u not tell me about it..? Hit me up, i'm stuck with these idiots...”

The smile on her face grew a little wider. The party. She knew about it, but only because her own parents - and Yamato’s - had kept mentioning it over the last few days. She hadn’t really planned to go, not so much because of the hassle of actually going, but more because of the people - or ‘idiots’ as Yamato so perfectly had described them.
With a deep sigh she got on to her feet - she might as well go, who knew, perhaps even ‘idiots’ could be fun to hang out with?

She quickly opened the menu and hit ‘reply’: with a few short presses she had written her response and hit send:
“Okay”
It was her usual short style of writing: why waste time and space on needless words? And a single word should be enough of an answer, right?

As Naomi made her way up towards the lake house her usual wear seemed to protect her well against the cold. She hadn’t really cared to dress up or add anything fancy to her features: her dark hair was kept in her usual neck-short style, her light grey colored sneakers and her long t-shirt, this time in a rather surprisingly fashionable white with bright bubbles of colour splashed across the side, that was then covered in her usual dark jacket. She might as well had gone shopping than going to a party. As she closed the gap to the house in a few quick strides she knew that she would immediately come to regret her decision of showing up: the house really was filled with go-happy party people - or ‘idiots’. With another sigh she stuck her hands in her jacket’s pockets and scanned the environment around her: people seemed to have a lot of fun she had to admit, or at least it was a very energetic bunch of people that had allocated their time to this single spot.

“Yamato…” Naomi grumbled in a low voice that was filled with annoyance. How dare he invite her to such a place like this? Clearly it wasn’t going to be much fun hanging out with such energetic people so instead of trying to socialize like she would perhaps have done if it was actually needed of her to mingle with the group, she instead made her way towards a lone small bench that was positioned on the outer wall of the house. As she sat down she rested her head against the house and changed her gaze towards the dark blue sky and let her mind flow freely, somehow managing to ignore the loudness of all the fun and partying the people around her was doing 

 
“Only the strong survives”
 
Naomi possesses most of the Hyuuga features: her hair is black and is kept in a neck short length for most of the time. Her eyes have the same whiteness to them as the rest of her clan, yet Naomi’s eyes seem to hold a piercing gaze most of the time. Her skin appears to be a slightly darker tone than most of her clansmen who possesses the fair skin of the Hyuuga.  She possesses a normal height with a rather slim body, it is definitely well trained and her muscles are clearly honed, but her muscles does not show that much, keeping her frame rather elegant. However her body isn’t what you would call curvaceous, instead she is more flat chested and boyish characters, though her appearance is still undoubtedly that of a young woman. Her features are thin and smooth, she is no doubt an appealing girl, but she is clearly not one that puts too much focus on her appearance so it would be better to say that she holds a natural beauty, without standing out too much.
Naomi wears the signature ANBU spiral tattoo on her right shoulder.

She tends to wear regular ninja footwear, a pair of black pants with pockets to keep various gear and items. Above this she usually wears a black shirt with no sleeves, though instead she tends to cover her hands and lower arms with white colored cloth strips in order to protect her hands from scratches. She holds further items and tools in small brown leather pouches around her back which is held in place by a white belt. She sometimes wears a black cloak to hide her body whenever she is on a mission, probably a habit she got during her time as an ANBU member. While her abilities doesn’t rely on external weapons, she still keeps a completely black chokutō strapped to her back - something that is a remnant from her past. 

Her casual clothes are kept in a rather normal fashion: she wears a pair of dark skinny jeans, a pair of lightly colored sneakers and a normal white t-shirt that reaches down just below her waist: it is nothing fancy, just a white t-shirt that has a few splashes of artistically sprays of color on it. Over this she has a black jacket that has a zipper in the front and it is perhaps just a size too big for her as the sleeves reaches just far enough down her arms to hide half of her hands, On the neckline of the jacket is a hoodie that has a light brown fur lining around it. Whenever she isn’t on a mission she tends to wear the headband around her neck rather than around her forehead. She also always wears a yin and yang necklace made out of silver: it is held in place around her neck by a thin metal chain that reaches quite far down so the symbol of the necklace is usually hidden by the top of her shirt.

【Fighting style】
Naomi's fighting style can best be described as fast, agile, precise and deadly. She relies heavily on her advanced skills in taijutsu combined with the ninjutsu carried down from the long history of her clan. She is a character that never does anything unnecessary, always trying to improve on her accuracy and speed. This is heavily based on the arts of her clan: Gentle Fist. She utilizes her clan's abilities to the best, instead of focusing on strength or fierceness, she instead aims to damage the opponent from the inside, quickly hitting their pressure points in order to incapacitate her opponent - in fact she rarely, if ever, kills her opponents, instead she uses just enough energy to make them incapable of continuing the fight. You should not, however, mistake this for kindness nor lack of ability to deal the finishing blow: The ninja known as Hyuuga Naomi has gotten the reputation of a ruthless killer. While she does not aim to kill her opponents, she does not hold back either if she realizes that it is impossible to incapacitate the opponent, instead she will try and end the fight in any way possible, using her speed and precision to her best advantage.
Naomi can best be described as a close combat master: she excels at fast close quarter combat where she can rely on her precision and her fighting style to quickly deal a series of devastating blows – however if she is forced into any form of ranged combat she becomes extremely lacking. If she is ever forced into such a situation the only thing she has to rely on is her tremendous speed to either slip away or bring her up close. It is this speed that has made her famous: she is among some of the fastest, most agile ninjas in Konoha – however this specialization has come at a price: she possesses neither the strength of others nor the, as mentioned, the ranged combat.
However despite her being heralded as a prodigy within her own clan and village, she is not a character that will succumb to her own feelings nor continue a fight if it becomes apparent that she will lose. Instead she would rather try and retreat and continue the fight another day. 

It should be noted that Naomi is also a keen student and user of medical jutsu, utilizing her intellect and the abilities gained by her Kekkei Genkai to her benefits when she needs to take care of injuries.
 
【Kekkei genkai, or bloodline limit】
Bloodline limit name:
 'Byakugan'.
Description:
Byakugan: Should I explain what it does?
Strengths:
Naomi’s Byakugan emphasizes her perception more than range: she can ‘only’ see a radius of 75 meters around her, however she possesses much greater perception, being able to notice minute details and clearly see changes in chakra. Furthermore she is a keen student of the past in order to learn the ways of her clan and other ninjas. THis has taught her how Hyuuga Neji managed to fill in the blind spot just behind the thoracic vertebra
Weaknesses:
The mighty Byakugan really holds no major weaknesses, however Naomi does: she is is a master in close quarter combat, but she becomes helpless beyond anything outside her close vicinity. If she cannot rely on her speed, agility and perception she is pretty much done for and can do nothing but evade, run or get hurt.
Furthermore her personality has also been proven to be a weakness at times: she is a genius fighter that can calmly analyse different combat situation and value her options, but if she comes up against an opponent that relies more on brute strength and ferocity (think Naruto) she has a tough time find that her predictions falter to reality which can cause her otherwise calm and collected personality to not function and she loses all hope for survival.

【Custom made techniques】
Jutsu name: Gentle Step Twin Fists.
Rank: A.
Range:Short range, the length of the user’s reach.
Description: Gentle Step Twin Fists is a ninjutsu similar in characteristics as Hinata’s ‘Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists’, however Naomi has tweaked it to fit her own style: instead of forming two lion heads at the end of each of her fists, she instead begins to emit what appears as smoke trails, or strings of chakra. Else it acts completely the same as the original Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists.

Jutsu name: Raiton Release: Gentle Paralysis. 
Rank: C.
Range: Short range.
Description: This jutsu requires a user that has a great deal of control over their inner energies as it requires a constant flow of chakra - if there are any inconsistencies with the flow it can easily backfire and hurt the user instead. What it essentially does is to manipulate the user’s chakra into lightning at the user’s fingertips/hands. This doesn’t cause much damage, but instead it causes convulsions and light pain to the area it touches. What makes this jutsu so terrifying is that if aimed correctly and it hits a tenketsu it can cause short term paralysis to the muscles in that area. The duration of the paralysis depends on the amount of chakra the user emits, but it usually lasts 1-2 seconds. This is one of the reasons why it works incredibly well with a Byakugan user.

【Weaponry, tools and objects.】
Weapon, tool or object name: 
It holds no name.
Weapon, tool or object type:
A hilt-less chokutō.
Description:
Naomi possesses a nameless chokutō she keeps strapped on her back. It holds a completely black appearance with both the wooden hilt and the metal having been crafted into a solid black object. It measures roughly the length of an arm with the hilt stretching its overall length just a bit further. 


Other tools
Other than her sword Naomi always keeps a large quantity of Kunais, shuriken, bombs, explosive tags, needles and medical supplies on her.


Medical secrecy applies.

【Personality】
Naomi has a calm and for most part a quiet personality: she tends to keep her voice to herself and evaluate the situations she finds herself in before speaking. However you shouldn't consider her a mute: while she isn't a vocal person she just tend to choose her words carefully - often with a sharp and sarcastic undertone in each and every word. Furthermore she acts as a kind and polite character, always smiling and acting nice - however this also makes it more difficult to determine her thoughts and mood. This often throws people off as her kind and smiling appearance says one thing, but her sharp and sarcastic tongue says another, often with a brutally honest message. 

However Naomi isn’t a complete loner as you might think: while she does know how to fit in if she is need to. She is a great imitator and manipulator: she can use her intelligence and her observatory skill set to quickly manifest a new persona that fits better with those around her so she fits better into society and doesn’t stand out too much - however her smile never seems to be filled with genuine happiness and can at times be borderline wicked. This does not mean that she never socializes - she just doesn’t easily connect with other people and as such her ‘inner circle’ is rather limited. 
This wicked smile that at times find its way to Naomi’s mouth hides a a more wicked persona that doesn’t not hold back like she usually does. This wickedness is something that also reflects in her character as a whole: she never seems to show anyone her true intentions and it is mostly when she is fighting that this character will reveal itself. This side of her is something she usually suppresses rather well, but it has been ‘poking around’ more often lately in situations where she is pressured and under stress. 

 
【History】
Hyuuga Naomi was born 17 years ago, at first she appeared to be a normal little girl; nothing out of the ordinary. However her growth really started to accelerate once she turned 3. It became apparent that she was not that ordinary: she had already achieved a greater vocabulary than the other children of her same age, and by 4 she had already showed an affinity for ninjutsu - something that pleased her father greatly: he foresaw a great clan head in her already. 
Even though Naomi was born in a time of peace and quiet where most of the clan had found other areas of employment than the way of the Ninja, her father still insisted on her to start learning the ways of the ninja at a young age, and once again Naomi exceeded what was expected of her: she seemed to naturally grasp the ideas behind the jutsu and had an easy time converting her understanding of what was taught to her into action. The training she received as a child kept intensifying until she graduated the academy at the age of 9. This was also the time that her skills gained a wider recognition, however it was only when she became a Chūnin only 2 years after graduating from the academy that the recognition of her abilities led to a new development: she was enrolled into the ANBU.

While many of her years as an ANBU-agent has been shrouded in mysteries and secrets: neither her division, rank or her missions are known outside the upper branch, one detail is rather noteworthy. You see, it was at this stage in her life that she started to change, she became more silent and insightful, keeping to herself rather than enjoying time with others. This might have been a natural development in her persona, but it is more likely to have developed over the time of her ANBU training. While she became more withdrawn from the clan and her friends, she did meet someone that developed into what you might call a ‘friend’: Yamato Minamoru. You see, Naomi began to wander around the village and the areas surrounding it - and perhaps out of sheer nostalgia she entered her old academy where she first saw Yamato fighting.
They relationship didn’t start out on a solid ground though: being a part of the Hyuuga clan she wasn’t exactly his favorite type, but she didn’t seem to mind this too much and instead of backing away she began to somehow connect to him at the same time as she was pushing others away - and quite unlike her she actually began to find amusement in teasing him, something she found great time to do at his parents’ restaurant where she had somehow become an employee - no doubt because of her father’s wishes for her to become a more fitting character to lead the clan. 
However this was the start of a new turn in her life: she actually seemed to bond with Yamato over the last year since she met him: they seemed to fit quite well together as they were both characters of few words. As such Naomi almost felt like they had somehow established a connection where they no longer needed to talk, but instead it was just enough for them to silently be next to each other. 

Her life has since continued with this mix of training, sparring with Yamato, the usual missions and her few odd friendships (mostly with those from the restaurant) that stood in great contrast to her continuous withdrawal from the rest of society, until today. For unknown reasons she appears to have been let go from the ANBU which has resulted in her being forced into a ‘regular’ ninja squad. With this new environment it will be interesting to see how a character such as Naomi can function and work with others.
 
【Family ties】
Naomi is part of the main branch of the proud and noble Hyuuga family, a family that has survived for centuries and has been a stable pillar of Konoha for almost just as long. Naomi is the daughter of the head of the clan and appears to be the epitome of the Hyuuga bloodline and as such she is heralded as the genius of the clan. She has been taughtin the ways of the clan since she was old enough to read and has undergone training since she was able to stand. In fact she has already begun to take over some of the responsibility of the clan - however her father, Hyuuga Dai, has shown signs of worry over his oldest daughter: her personality isn’t one that he sees fit for the next clan head. This has caused some problems between their relationship - however Naomi’s mother is a much more caring person than her husband: she seems to care for Naomi no matter what.
