Personal Information
Personality:: Kohaku is an extremely relaxed and carefree individual. It's almost contagious really. He chooses not to stress and deals with everything as it comes with a positive outlook. Some may call him naive but there's more to his star gazing temperament than they see. He's very perceptive and sensitive to other peoples feelings. He hates to see others sad or afraid so he chooses to be calm and optimistic in order to soothe their hearts. To that end he's not one to give up and will always believe that things will turn out alright. The one lesson of his father's Kohaku has taken to heart, to be a reassuring presence. His disposition is also a little more deceiving. Most might think he'd be the kind to avoid conflict with the opposite being the truth. Even as he keeps a relaxed attitude in battle he's a fierce fighter, his carefree aura only fooling foes into dropping their guard. He's strong willed and stands by his belief that no life is worth less than another.
History:: The Tsukarei Clan are a very unique people. They can be compared to others like the Inuzuka, they can even considered a cousin. Like the Inuzuka they share their lives with animal companions who they form deep bonds with from an early age. That's where the similarities end as the Tsukarei's companions are of a much different kind. Kitsune, fox spirits. During the earliest settlements of Konoha the Tsukarei started to establish themselves in a nearby forest. After nearly destroying a sacred shrine they were confronted by the guardian spirits of the forest. The head of the clan made peace with the fox spirits, negotiating a symbiotic relationship with them. In return for assistance in protecting the forest and the shrine the Kitsune would grant them the forest as the Tsukarei's home and their power.
Kohaku is the in line to become the 7th head of the Tsukarei Clan. His father believes in him as a the next leader of the clan but the elders have had doubts due to his carefree disposition and don't believe he shows the responsibility necessary. Their concerns were only made more prevalent during Kohaku's Binding Ceremony. The Binding Ceremony is the Tsukarei's right of passage for those in the clan who were to become shinobi. During the ceremony the individual involved is taken to the shrine where they will be bound to their own Kitsune. The power of the Kitsune and the ninja are represented by the number of tails the spirit possesses which also acts as a hierarchy within the clan. Six is the most number tails and Kohaku was expected to receive at least a four-tail, being the son of the head who had a six-tail. Kohaku's ceremony was ambushed by a someone seeking the power of the Kitsune. In the clash to protect the shrine and eliminate the intruder Kohaku's ceremony was disrupted. In the bright flash caused by the ceremony seemingly backfiring the enemy vanished and Kohaku had his partner. The small fox spirit in his arms had three tails and one of them was a different color from the rest of it's body. The elders saw this as a sign that Kohaku would not be strong enough to lead the clan, especially not with what they considered to be a defective spirit. Kohaku's father demanded that they hold their tongues, saying that his son would be a better head of the clan than he. Looking down at his son he was more sure of that than ever seeing Kohaku cradling his new companion and watching over it with complete awe.
Since then Kohaku has never been disappointed in his spirit which named
Ran. It was clear that something went wrong during the ceremony and his father even passed down the clan's treasure, the Furuimasu, to him early in hopes it would help him and Ran master their powers without too many difficulties. With his father's faith in him and Ran as his partner Kohaku decided he would show the clan that the number of tails didn't matter. He wanted to prove that Ran wasn't a mistake. Believe it~

Kekkei Genkai:: Ketsugo (Bond of Tails)
Traits/Abilities of Kekkei Genkai: Ketsugo refers to the powers granted to members of the Tsukarei by their kitsune partners. These powers very widely between pairs the number of abilities are determined by the number of tails. In Kohaku's case, Ran grants him three powers: the Fox Flame, Bond of Protection, and one that is even unknown to him and Ran. The Fox Flame, the most common of the the abilities, allows him to conjure flames with special properties as well as enhancing the power of fire jutsu. The Bond of Protection is a unique ability in which Ran becomes a sort of tattoo on his body which makes covered area stronger than stone. Ran can move all over his body to cover other areas as she isn't able to protect a larger surface area than his chest. Despite the added defense to piercing and cutting weapons, strong enough blunt force attacks will still cause damage and hurt both Kohaku and Ran. The last ability they have yet to discover as they haven't been able to use it. This ability should be tied to Ran's off colored tail and their inability to access it might have something to do with the disruption of Kohaku's ceremony. The most notable flaw of Ketsugo is the claw necklaces their shinobi members wear. They are the direct link between them and their spirits corresponding the number of claws with the number of tails. When an ability is in use the individual claws will light with as a small will-o-wisp meaning an observant opponent can figure out which ability is in use at what time as. Also using more than one ability at a time is a highly advanced technique and is highly taxing.
