@Gowi I was kinda conflicted to either start with a new character or continue with Kohaku, but if it wouldn't be a hassle (seeing as we didn't get that far in the other RP) then I would actually prefer to start anew with Kohaku. I just think there's more opportunity for development considering her would be age and current occupation.
That’s perfectly fine, you do you, fam.
Also, pretty sure the Kohaku Clan exists in canon/Saisei, so keep that in mind that a given name that is the same as a clan is kinda weiiiiiiird. Just a little kink, lol.
For me this could end up being a number of things— a song, a television series, an anime, a video game, a novel, a poem, a piece of art. If I want to get into a fantasy mood I look for something relative to that in any of the above categories. Writers are artists and are nothing when uninspired, we need the motivation and heart of what drives us or else we make our art end up as exercises in clinical futility.
Under the pretense that we never really got anywhere with Team Haitani in Winter, I'd like to potentially extend the "recent graduates only" rule to you two if you wish to transfer over your characters, though you would have to apply just the same and make any adjustments we can to make it fit the setting. If done, our characters would be 15/16 or 16/17 and Madarame would not be dead yet as far as my current plans are.
Standing at four foot seven, Fukushu is pretty average for a girl of her age in height and stature. She has flowing purple hair that is most often strewn through a simple ponytail, and prefers practicality of appearance over superfluous exuberance— a preference that originates from her serious demeanor.
PERSONALITY & MOTIVATIONS
Fukushu was born as a daughter of vengeance, as a tool for Konohagakure. By all accords Fukushu has been raised with illogical ideals, abrasive ambitions, cynical assertions, and hateful pride; all traits that are surprising within the soul of a child of twelve years. These facts can all be traced back to one simple thing: her name. Fukushu is not masculine, feminine, or androgynous, it is a word that is literally translated to a terminology that has defined her before she even took her first step— vengeance. A sad reality of the time she was named and her mother’s own cynical outlook on life created the shadow that Fukushu would soon follow.
Beyond her given name, Fukushu’s mother also was quite vocal in raising her daughter in-between ANBU operations. Fukushu was told that she was expected to be greater than all of the shinobi of her generation; that her destiny was to bring down the murderer who killed her father and his immediate kin, removing the curse that followed her father’s clan for generations. Disheartening and overbearing as it was, Fukushu understood what her mother told her as she slowly began molding the weight of responsibility into an ambitious dedication as she trained meticulously even before her admission into the Konohagakure Academy. It was here that Fukushu’s perspective seemed to only distance herself from her friends and extended family; a sentiment Fukushu viewed as abandonment and turned towards abrasive spite as a response of this distance as she refused to ever believe it was her fault. Fukushu wrote it off with confidence, though she began to wonder what was wrong with her that others couldn’t support her and understand what she was doing was right. In time, the world became more and more lonely and she began to lash out at others and wither into a personality of hatred, aggression, envy, desperation, and abrasiveness.
But within Fukushu is a girl that is crying and trying to reach out despite her abrasive appearance; for she is only standoffish because she has had little loyalty, generosity, or kindness in her life considering she has only had duty and expectations brought upon her. For those that create a bond with Fukushu there is the possibility that she could connect to them in time and that her tactless comments, childish taunts, and icy demeanor could fade as she truly finds people she feels at home with— people she trusts. But for the moment, Fukushu is as is because she is hard to interact with and impossible to relate to as per other student’s beliefs.
CLAN HISTORY
A rough or detailed recent history of your dynastic clan. For world-building.
PERSONAL HISTORY
The daughter of Namikaze Ayano and Lee Tetsuya, Fukushu was destined to have many burdens upon her shoulders. Nearing the end of the war, tragedy occurred shortly after Fukushu’s inception—her father’s death. So it was here that Fukushu’s mother became unmarried, alone, and enraged by the villains who took the man she loved from her. Out of anger and hatred she looked to the birth of her daughter as an opportunity and subsequently named the child after her internal emotions that she desired: revenge.
Fukushu was raised solely by her mother and had a childhood where a large shadow loomed over her as her mother threw out expectations of a design towards her daughter; a daughter who saw these expectation and meeting them as the only way to satisfy her mother and as a byproduct earn her affection. So it was here that Fukushu dedicated herself with every fiber of her being to meeting her mother’s overbearing perfectionist demands. Whether it was a simple errand or a grueling challenge there would be no doubt in Fukushu’s mind that she would obtain it until success—failure was never an option. A fact that Fukushu in time was entirely unrealistic upon meeting some of her peers; some of which excelling far above her. A fact that nearly shattered her world view. But she carried on as she entered the Konohagakure Academy and dedicated herself, even at a young age, to the art of a shinobi. There was no room for other hobbies in her life; a sentiment that would have social consequences as some of her friends began to distance themselves from her.
Her time in the academy continued to bode poorly for her socially, though Fukushu tried to appear that it she cared not for such things. There was no room in her life for friends who couldn’t understand her or see why her ambitions were just.
INFLUENCE & RELATIONS
Lee Tetsuya: Despite never knowing her father, the shadow of who he was and his inevitable fate is something Fukushu has thought on since she was effectively old enough to comprehend such things. Her mother, Ayano, named her Fukushu as a notation of her purpose— to avenge Lee Tetsuya no matter what it takes and how hard it may seem to achieve. Fukushu was never told much about Tetsuya’s personality so she has a rather minimalistic perspective in earnest about him; she doesn’t know or even realize Tetsuya was an optimistic practitioner of the “will of fire” nor does she know he was a person who would’ve never endorsed his daughter becoming his avenger.
Namikaze Ayano: Fukushu’s relationship with her mother is… difficult. Having been told that she was a “shinobi of vengeance” and held the sole responsibility of being the best of her shinobi generation have had a devastating impact on Fukushu’s ideals and mindset— and by extension that of her relationship with the woman who brought her to life. As a result, Fukushu takes a lot after her mother’s demeanor and believes her tasks are normal expectations to be asked of her despite them being contrary to that fact. Fukushu likes to think her mother cares for her but sometimes she wonders if she’s nothing more than a tool in her mother’s arsenal.

In terms of physical conditioning and taijutsu, Fukushu considers Kiri as her rival; though she is hardly as sardonic to her as she is to Uchiha Tensai. She respects the work Kiri puts in and finds her as “good competition”, though she ultimately is also seen as another benchmark to meet.
“Nobody is tougher than Miko. Nobody.”

“How is she allowed to be a shinobi when she cannot even breathe without help?”
Fukushu’s relationship with Tsume goes back to when she met her observing the Dojo of Senju Yaguruma on what was typically a mundane afternoon of observational training. It was here that Fukushu convinced Tsume to becoming her newfound sparring partner and fundamental punching bag. A normal child would’ve seen Fukushu’s ruthless conditioning as unfair among other things but for some reason Tsume endured and actually impressed Fukushu with her resilience. Fukushu still thinks her physical illness will prevent her from being a worthy rival, however.

“He will fail as a genin; just like he failed at protecting his mother from death. Tch.”
In Fukushu’s mind there is only one way to describe Uchiha Tensai: the enemy. Told by her mother that she is a lesser shinobi if she is outdone by a bastard and effectively not living up to her purpose, Fukushu has since Tensai bested her the first time considered him her eternal rival and nemesis; only second to the man who killed her father, Kurai Heishi. She continues to mock, insult, and antagonize Tensai at every turn. Additionally, taking into account that all of his accolades are “accidents” per her perspective and not products of hard work it deepens her animosity by the tenfold. Tensai has attempted to be kind and respectful, but it has not changed Fukushu’s actions or perspective.

CHAKRA NATURE
Water
SPECIAL TRAITS
Chakra Control: Fukushu was taught the importance of chakra control when she was old enough to comprehend it by her mother, Ayano, who educated her informally alongside Fukushu’s studies at the shinobi academy. By the time the genin exams were issued to academy students she had been trained to utilize it with little issue, though she could easily be outclassed by those who are naturally gifted with controlling their chakra.
Physical Conditioning: Fukushu’s upbringing was particularly harsh and expectations led her to prioritize pushing herself physically and mentally over social interactions and normal tasks. This physical conditioning was done with no mentor or instructor, but rather observation of training regiments of local taijutsu specialists and pushing herself through relentless physical tasks such as timed runs around the village or dynamic exercises. Despite this conditioning Fukushu is not nearly as defined as contemporaries in her own age group such as Matsudaira Kiri. A fact that has driven Fukushu to try harder in recent weeks.
Sign Memorization: The most important skill for an aspiring shinobi is memorization of the twelve chakra hand seals otherwise known as “hand signs” by the less astute. For Fukushu, it is her memorization of these seals that are her greatest asset even considering her above-average chakra control and independent conditioning of her body.
FOCUS & SKILLS
Taijutsu: Fukushu has observed the experts of taijutsu in Konohagakure for many years; a fact that has resulted in Fukushu’s aptitude within the form. Despite the difficulties she originally had during the final year of her time at the shinobi academy she has pieced together techniques that borrow from the Senju Clan’s (and by extension the Lee Clan) school of taijutsu. This can be seen in her usage of techniques such as Cherry Blossom Impact—though Fukushu has a habit of overextending herself and burning more chakra than is necessary for the technique.
Ninjutsu: Taking her mother’s comments and challenges to heart, Fukushu understands that ninjutsu is important not just for a shinobi but for a Namikaze. Whilst she has not unlocked or learned any of the clan’s surreptitious techniques or attributes (such as space-time ninjutsu) she has taken to heart the concept that her taijutsu should be just as good as her ninjutsu. In learning about her water nature chakra, Fukushu has found herself able to utilize the water clone technique before leaving the academy—a feat that even Hatake Toshiro stated was impressive. Fukushu intends to expand her elemental ninjutsu as a genin.
EQUIPMENT & INVENTORY
Fukushu is not an item specialist, so she generally is limited to her generic shinobi tools and supplements such as minor scrolls and salves. Her education in item development was limited, but it is a skill she has interest in expanding more given it was one of the harder things to comprehend given her limited intelligence regarding the subject. But until then she will have a few kunai, shuriken, smoke bombs, and Wakizashi in her kit alone.

Senju Takurama:
Senju Midori:
Senju Hotsuma:
Yamanaka Inokari: Waifu
Kagetsu Kitanai: Childhood friend and long-time rival in the field of medical ninjutsu. Kitanai and Madarame have always had a positive relationship due to the fact Kitanai was fostered by his clan following the disaster that struck Kitanai’s village that left him effectively orphaned. Madarame sees him as his more ambitious and worldly brother. His disappearance has never bothered Madarame particularly, though he does wonder if the absence has been good for him.
Hyuga Yukio:
Kohaku Miyuki: Madarame’s Jonin-Sensei, and during her lifetime one of the principal medical-nin of Konohagakure. She perished in one of the last battles of the war, trying to protect her former students from an unseen threat that proved too powerful for them to handle. Madarame had a positive relationship with Miyuki as a sensei and as a friend— a fact that Narumi often joked relentlessly that he had a moronic crush on their mentor so much that he wanted to emulate her skills just to get noticed. Her death made Madarame rethink what it is to be a medical-nin and to do what he could to protect his village.
Uchiha Narumi: Recently was assassinated while traveling the countryside in the Land of Fire with her son, Tensai. Narumi was a childhood friend of Madarame’s and preceding her murder was the only other surviving member of their genin team following the war. Madarame is still reflecting on her death and who could’ve done such a thing and why.
Kurama Tomokazu: Killed twelve years ago during the tail end of the last war. Tomokazu was ideally Madarame’s closest friend and the blow was dealt relatively hard for both Narumi and Madarame when they found themselves not only without their sensei but without their comrade. It was a loss that Madarame personally blamed himself for and vowed to never be so impulsive in the heat of a battle where there were two other lives in conjunction of his own.

CHAKRA NATURE
Water, Earth
Wood Release
SPECIAL TRAITS
Chakra Control: Even in his youth, Madarame was particularly adept at using his chakra wisely and with specific precision; a fact that his family had encouraged him to direct towards a specialization in medical ninjutsu— a suggestion he distinctly ignored. Despite not having great chakra depths or affinities, Madrarame is a dangerous opponent to fight due to the fact he knows how to utilize his chakra intelligently and accuracy.
Wood Release: A hiden (or secret tradition techniques) for Senju who inherited water or earth chakra natures, they can ultimately utilize a unique elemental release known as Wood Release. Known as a unique elemental release that can suppress chakra among other marque features, Wood Release is an elemental release that Madarame has utilized effectively throughout the years on and off the battlefield. Madarame prefers to take a defensive approach with these techniques.
FOCUS & SKILLS
Kenjutsu: Madarame is the premier swordsman in Konohagakure, excelling beyond the preceding generation’s notable kenjutsu specialists. It is said that Madarame is the equal of any samurai, though such acclaim has never been tested on the field of battle. However, Madarame will state that his skill in swordsmanship is simply a product of the era he grew up in and had he not lived through the Shinobi Great War he would not have had the experience required to polish his skills. As a kenjutsu specialist, whilst he recognizes his own skill in the various forms he also happens to believe contemporaries such as Hozuki Chigetsu of Kirigakure could easily best him in a battle relying solely on swordsmanship. How much of this is humility and how much is fact is hard to say.
Medical Ninjutsu: Text!
General Ninjutsu: As a member of the Senju Clan, it is no surprise that Madarame has inherited many skills beyond his own individual talent with swordsmanship. In Ninjutsu, Madarame has utilized his clan’s marque affinity in that of Wood Release and various other ninjutsu techniques— in conjunction with his sword or without it Madarame can utilize a variety of techniques in a defensive or offensive fashion.
EQUIPMENT & INVENTORY
Madarame lives by a policy that a shinobi’s tools are his crux and his closest ally to prevent his comrades from harm. Whilst hardly an item expert he keeps his gear steadily equipped with shuriken, kunai, and other supplies such as the typically assigned wakizashi and his weapon of choice— a uchigatana.

Ultimately, Koyomi respects his decision to “retire” to the life of an Academy Instructor although she knows it has nothing to do with his competence in the field but rather other motives entirely.
Kagetsu Kitanai: Fuck this guy.

CHAKRA NATURE
Lightning, Wind
SPECIAL TRAITS
Aburame Host: As children, Aburame are given to chakra insects (kikaichu) as hosts— the relationship is often seen as symbiotic, as the host gives a chakra-induced home to the insects in turn for their allegiance on the battlefield. As such this is the basis of the Aburame Clan’s techniques. Various species of the insects exist and Koyomi in time has come to be a host for the sandāchu brood as well. The sandāchu are known as lightning nature insects with their ability to create a static field when in a swarm which if used in conjunction with Koyomi’s lightning nature techniques can create tactical fields of elemental ninjutsu among other applications. The sandāchu’s bite is similar to that of their parent species though emitting the effect of being shocked by a spark of energy.
Chakra Potency: Even as a young child, Koyomi had a potent and high amount of chakra— though she didn’t learn to utilize and control it well into her years as a genin. Koyomi’s intelligent use rather than masterful control is what made her particularly dangerous.
