Name: Inuzuka Naoki
Village: Leaf
Age: 12
Gender: Female
Rank: Academy Student (soon to be Genin)
Blood Type: AB-
Chakra Affinity: Fire
Other Info of Note: Nicknamed Nao-chan by her friends. Her partner is a small black Akita Inu puppy named Kimomaru.
Family:
-Father: Inuzuka Hiro (Jounin, presumed deceased, would be 33 if still alive)
-Mother: Inuzuka Kohaku (Jounin, 31)
-Siblings: None
-Other: Members of the Inuzuka Clan, etc
Appearance: Naoki definitely has the look of the “runt” of the family, with shorter-than-average height and a petite, almost wiry build. Her wild brown hair is kept cropped short, though the front still long enough to fall into her face, which shares the telltale characteristics of the Inuzuka Clan, including red triangular marks on her cheeks and slit-pupil eyes. She prefers wearing clothes that make her look “tough,” which include things made of leather, numerous ear piercings, and her favorite red shirt, which features a cartoon skull on the front. She often wears shoes with high, chunky heels to try and make herself look taller.
Personality: Naoki's personality is just as wild and unpredictable as her chakra affinity. On the good side, she is almost fanatically loyal to anyone who has managed to earned her trust, and would gladly throw herself in harm's way to keep those she cares for from harm. This, however, is the side that nobody except those chosen few will rarely, if ever, come to see. Far more prevalent is the side she shows to the world: coarse, unruly, and prone to violent outbursts, Naoki's isolated lifestyle and constant overprotection from her relatives have made her desperate to prove her own worth, usually through fighting (and winning, of course), while at the same time leading her to push others away so they can't baby her. Her rebellious and uncontrollable behavior has alienated even some of the most well-meaning of her family, increasing her feelings of isolation.
Likes: Kimomaru, her friends, things most people would find scary or creepy, fighting tough opponents, and eating meat
Dislikes: Being babied, people who complain all the time, anything annoying, anything pink (unless it also features skulls), any kind of vegetable
History: Naoki is the product of a premarital relationship that resulted in a shotgun wedding, her mother marrying into the clan just six months before Naoki was born. And while her father was happy as could be to have a daughter, her mother was not. The woman had never truly wanted to marry into the clan, and she certainly had never wanted children. This affected her treatment – or lack thereof – towards Naoki, though it was mitigated by her father's love.
That said, however, Naoki's life was not an easy one. Born preterm and premature at a mere 7/12 months, much of Naoki's first year of life was spent in Konoha's hospital. Even when she was finally brought home, completely healthy, she was much smaller than normal, and required extra care to ensure her safety. This led to her father and extended family becoming extremely overprotective of her, a behavior that continues to this day.
Her troubles continued when the time came for her to be paired with a canine partner: no matter how many puppies she interacted with, though she liked all of them, Naoki was unable to “click” with any of them, and was thus without a partner for longer than normal. Her break finally came when one of her cousins returned from a mission having found and brought in a litter of newborn Akita puppies who had been abandoned. The clan nursed the puppies back to health, and during the course of her helping to care for the dogs, Naoki bonded with the smallest (yet most spirited) one of the lot. She felt a special connection to her fellow runt, something that didn't go unnoticed by her father. And so it was that just a few months before entering the academy, Naoki finally had a partner.
Academy life was far from easy for Naoki. Shortly after the start of lessons, her father vanished while on a mission, and after searches yielded no clues to his whereabouts, was eventually presumed dead. This left Naoki alone with a mother who didn't care a thing about her and a clan full of relatives who cared too much. Unable to stand the tension, Naoki began going home less and less, spending most of her time wandering the streets and either breaking things or getting into fights as a way to let off some of her deep-seeded frustration. Eventually she just stopped caring, and her grades at the Academy began to plummet. It was around this time that she met her friends Kyousei Shichuuko and Uchiha Masako, with whom she shares a rather unique bond. Things are looking up for Naoki now, though she still likes to pick fights...
