Katsumi's true personality is not her public persona. To those she doesn't know well (especially those who annoy her), she is arrogant and prideful, having little patience for any who question the genius of the Yamato clan's prodigy and always finding subtle ways to demonstrate her standing. Around those who she respects she has a different side, less abrasive but still not actually polite, more of a trickster who is trying to force people to examine things deeper by throwing them out of their comfort zone. She takes to know people and understand them. Katsumi is very much driven by her sense of right and wrong. She always tries to do what she believes is right for someone she care about, not what is easiest or most socially acceptable. Inside, she's conflicted between wanting to help people grow and her own bitterness towards the world, leading to a harshness that conceals more idealistic goals.

Katsumi Yamato was born into the fabled Yamato clan of Iwagakure, famed for their scholarly pursuits and their skill on the battlefield. The clan has produced many philosophical and martial treatises, but the most known is the Yamato Encyclopedia of Warfare, their comprehensive manual of the clan's combat technicques, expanded with each generation. Thanks to their reputation, not only have they occupied by the esteemed position of controlling Iwagakure's academy, they have also been trusted advisors to the Tsuchikage. They have only been able to maintain this position through putting their own clan through even more rigorous standards, demanding that they demonstrate proficiency in the core of the curriculum and memorize the text content of the Encyclopedia before they can call themselves full members of the clan. This had become a controversial requirement by Katsumi's time, fewer and fewer of each generation were able to accomplish it, and her father Yasunari even argued for abolishing it, but was overruled by her uncle Yukio. It was his belief that through this relentless drive for perfection they would ensure that the position of Tsuchikage went to a Yamato. Katsumi herself was able to finish the curriculum ahead of schedule, the only Yamato of her generation to do so, and was hailed as a genius for that accomplishment. The clan prepared for an even greater celebration when it was time to choose the next Tsuchikage, the whole village had practically decided that Yukio was the only one worthy to hold the title. Mysteriously, Yukio died before the choice for Tsuchikage was announced, and the position went to a rival clan. No investigation was ever launched into his death, and no explanation was given, but rumors swirled.
After Yukio's death the Yamato family did what they always did, they wrote, they theorized, and they trained. Katsumi threw herself into training even harder than before, and an eerie silence developed around the whole situation among the clan. When asked about his thoughts on the choice for the Tsuchikage, Yasunari was reticent, but expressed the thought that he wished there would be a day when they would not need a Tsuchikage. He longed for a time when all the citizens of Iwagakure could defend themselves and the village against attackers and could stand together as free and equal brothers in arms, not as a hiearchy of the strong hoarding their power over the weak. Such talk was controversial, and only became more controversial when the war broke out. Unusually, the Yamato clan declined to provide many fighters, saying that their greatest value was as teachers, and the village leaders reluctantly agreed, keeping the core of their clan off of the frontlines. Katsumi was hungry for battle but hated the village leadership, leaving her with a dilemma she could not resolve until an envoy from Konoha made a secret deal with her. Joining them was the best revenge she could think of, and the massive payment they offered only sweetened the deal. Not only did she bring a huge cache of valuable information, she became a terrifying fighter on Konoha's side, the one woman artillery barrage known for her blissful calm on the battlefield.
The end of the war forced Katsumi to confront things she had ignored beforehand. Going back to Iwagakure was out of the question, but settling in Konoha proved awkward as well. Now, people were willing to share their true feelings about her betrayal of her home, how it was against the philosophy of the village. They would tolerate her, but she was not trusted enough to be given any power or important responsibilities. She made a few attempts at teaching and quit everytime out of dissatisfaction with the students she instructed, furious that they could not meet her standards. Afterwards, Katsumi retreated to her estate, working on literary pursuits and her own exploration of new jutsus. Over those years she invented the Rasengan, in hopes of finding a powerful jutsu that could be used regardless of elemental affinity, but so far has not found anyone willing to learn the level of Chakra control needed. Her writing has won her acclaim among the intellectual crowd but has had little popular success, the biggest success being her history of the shinobi war compiled from interviews with fellow veterans. In public, she is most often seen playing Go or visiting a bar when they hold a "Name that Jutsu" trivia night, always winning unless a Kaminari is also competing.

She's a mentor character who herself has to learn to be a better person. As she teaches Karu (and others), she'll become less abrasive, and own up to her own flaws more. At some point she will probably have to meet the family she left behind, and try to reconcile with them. That may or may not involve learning the truth behind her uncle's death. Power-wise, she's fully formed at this point, and isn't really going to be picking up anything new.

Attributes
T A L E N T S
•Chakra Control Katsumi has extremly precise control of her Chakra. This makes her naturally adept at technicques that require good chakra control, including enhancing her physical strength with Chakra. Her natural Chakra capacity is not great, but her discipline helps it last longer.
•Eidetic Memory Katsumi's memory is has been called photographic, but that is a bit of an exaggeration. Her perfect recall is precise enough to remember things she has read, but when it comes to visual memory it works in broad strokes. It can remember what happened in a battle, but it's not precise enough to copy jutsus she saw during it.
•Tactical Knowledge Being raised by the Yamato clan and having fought in the Great Shinobi War, has a mind for tactics. She is most comfortable applying prior knowledge to analyze a new situation, relying on her exstensive studies and great memory. She is not as comfortable thinking on the fly.
•Jutsu Theorist As someone who has dedicated years of study, Katsumi has a strong background in the theories behind Jutsus and a very large knowledgebase. She is good at identifying jutsus seen in the field, and figuring out their strengths and limitations
