Name: Tou Itome
Age: 11
Gender: Female
Rank: Genin
Appearance: Itome has tan skin and pale blonde hair that is close to white. She is short, barely 4"2 tall, and is somewhat scrawny with a very boyish build. She has wide brown eyes and a button nose. Her hair falls to her waist when loose but is usually tied back into two braids that are almost uncomfartably tight. Normally this is in but when travelling through areas where they might catch on things the braids are rolled into two tight buns on the back of her head. She wears her clan's colours, white and dull yellow, and her mission clothes are made up of a black leotard and tight shorts covered by a knee-length loose sand-coloured skirt which is slit at the sides and a white tunic with a large pocket. She wears a belt with a large reel of wire attached to the back and a large pouch at each side. On missions she often goes barefoot, binding her feet with bandage and soft leather rather than wearing what might traditionally be described as shoes.
Personality: Itome is a bright girl with a good head on her shoulders and usually a sunny, positive person. She is quite friendly and enjoys the company of others, though she dislikes large crowds. She is self -concious about her height and feels uncomfortable around tall people, especially if they are strangers. She is a lot better at theory than at practice, having been the top of the class in written subjects during her time at the academy, but almost failing the last exams but to an inability to apply the knoledge in battle. She has little to no interest in love and the like, only being 11 afterall, but is desperate to be liked by others to the point where she is easily swayed by peer pressure and willing to act like she is. She has a strong sense of justice but this is occasionally overthrown by her succeptibility to peer pressure. However she has been known to go against the crowd for the sake of people who she feels are relying on her to and for her family. Like all Tous, she is very knoledgeable about medicine and has an annoying habit of suggesting folk remedies whenever people complain of illness. "Plant eggshells in your garden" is her favourite. She doesn't really have any dream worth mentioning beyond increasing her skill as a medic. Though usually unconcered with her appearence, Itome has recently started to be careful about it, watching her weight and trying to avoid scars on her hands and face because her father has told her that over the next few years he will be trying to marry her into more powerful families.
History: Itome is the second daughter and third child of the Tou family of the Sand village, the younger and weaker of two twins. She was born with very brittle bones but her family, a family almost entirely made up of medics, managed to reduce the severity of the condition to the point where it was very mild. She was born of the head of the family and his wife, a puppeteer. Her sister was given the name Dokune as it was tradition within the Tou family that the firstborn female of the main branch be called 'Doku'. However Dokune was killed at the age of 4, a bystander in an attack on Kezutsu, their older brother and the male heir. The killer was executed by ANBU enraging Tou Kezusha, the head of the family and Itome's father, immensely as he had wanted the attacker killed by a member of the family. Itome was given her sister's title of female heir and the 'duty' of marrying into a powerful family. Like every Tou before her, she was raised to be a trapper and a medic rather than a fighter. She quickly picked up the skills she required, learning to walk on wires and mix poisons and devise traps as well as how the human body worked and how to make it mend or break. However, unusually for her family, she was also taught the very basics of puppetly by her mother. While she cannot use and does not carry puppets, she can manipulate chakra strings well and use them in her traps. Though she struggled to balence her family's training with academy work she did fairly at both, showing a great aptitude for written work but being unable to apply much of her academy-learned knoledge to battles.
Optional Statistics: Though the Tou family lacks a Kekkai Genkai, they are known for their sense of balence, which is brilliant even by ninja standards. Itome can run and jump across things as thin as wires and chakra strings. The study of balence also means that she knows how the human body works very well, allowing her to predict with fair accuracy an opponent's movements and read lips and moods as well as read hand movements when people are writing.
Itome is very, very small, allowing her to hide better than most. However, she is also very very physically weak. While she isn't so bad with throwing weapons, her hand-to-hand fighting is terrible. Her brittle bones and joints do not help at all as her bones are very likely to break in hand-to-hand fights with stronger ninja. Because of this, she has a great fondness for using makibishi to keep an opponent at a distance.
Though she is skilled enough to manipulate chakra strings and her chakra-conrolled wire (though she has to stab one end of the wire into the base of her spine to make it work) with fair precision, her skill with ninjutsu is sorely lacking in other areas, specifically most of the academy taught jutsus. Despite this, she is skilled enough to use healing jutsus fairly well, though she is always concerned about making the problem worse by messing up and often prefers more traditional means of healing - administering painkillers, cleaning and binding woulds and letting the person rest.
Itome prefers to use shuriken as caltrops rather than as thrown weapons.
Itome tends to mother others and is a bit of a busybody, especially when someone is ill or upset.
Since there is no actual field for this, Itome comes from the village hidden in the sand.
