Rank: ANBU Member

Other Info of Note: In addition to her shinobi skills, “Zyu” (as she prefers to be called) is an accomplished pyrotechnics and demolition expert thanks to her clan's specialty. Because of this she has a keen understanding of chemistry, physics, architecture, and other applicable fields.
Family:
-Father: Kibikibi Hisaki – Civilian
-Mother: Kibikibi Hanabi – Civilian

-Other: The Kibikibi Clan
Appearance: Zyu is of moderate height, standing at about 5'6” with a slender build and a very curvaceous figure. Her skin, naturally fair, is a little tan and slightly freckled due to spending a lot of time in the sun. Her hair, the bright orange typical of members of her clan, is styled in fun, flippy layers that frame her face, though she often hides the color with a henge or a temporary dye while on ANBU duty due to its distinct hue. Her hair isn't her only unique feature, though: her eyes, instead of the usual dark brown or gray common in the Kibikibi clan, for an as-yet unknown reason (most likely a mutated gene), Zyu's eyes are a bright, shocking pink. Rather than hide it, Zyu has always embraced her strange coloration, choosing to dress in near-blinding combinations of pink and orange when off duty.
Personality: Energetic, fun-loving, and excitable, Zyu is everything one would expect of the daughter of a clan of fireworks makers. She loves getting into anything that looks even remotely fun or, if that option fails, making her own entertainment – even if that means messing with other people (in a friendly way, of course). While she is quite the mischief-maker, however, she is quite intensely focused when on missions or working with explosives. She is also quite intelligent, possessing a keen analytical sense and highly trained logic to complete her tasks as efficiently and safely as possible. Or, on occasion, making as big an explosion as possible when building her fireworks. She is also extremely loyal, and will do anything for her friends and for the village.
Likes: Puzzles, fireworks, bright colors, messing with people, blowing things up
Dislikes: Being bored, being hungry, people who blow things up irresponsibly, eggplant
History: Kibikibi Zyubirii has always been different, right from the start. While most of her clan are known for their friendly, energetic nature, Zyu seemed to take it to the next level. She was always smiling, and as soon as she learned how to crawl she was constantly going somewhere. Like other children born into her family, she was immersed in the clan's arts almost immediately. Even when she was too young to actually work with fireworks she was taught important lessons on safety, alertness, and – when she was old enough – “book knowledge” as well.
Zyu knew from a young age that she wanted to be a ninja, and while no Kibikibi had ever been anything but a civilian, her parents gave their blessing. By the time she entered the Academy she was already making her first small fireworks – firecrackers and the like – and was assisting her older relatives while learning how to handle the larger models. However, things were not perfect. Zyu began acting out in class and causing no end of mischief. She lost focus and her grades began to drop as her disciplinary record took a turn for the worse. Her family, concerned by the normally talented, hardworking Zyu's behavior, spoke to the Academy teachers in the hope of finding a way to get Zyu back on track. Eventually they decided to have her tested, and the results changed everything: Zyu was acting out and failing to do her work because she was bored. She just wasn't being challenged enough. As an experiment, one of the other teachers – who taught a class one year ahead of Zyu in age and curriculum – volunteered to allow her into his class, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Not only did Zyu's grades and focus improve, but she also made good friends: Tensei Amaya Ren and Kuroyuri Asano, one of whom a seemingly normal girl and the other someone like Zyu who didn't quite fit the usual mold. And while she still acted silly and made her usual mischief, Zyu once again became a good student, completing all her coursework and graduating the Academy near – but not at the peak of – the top of her class. To her delight she was put on a Genin team with her friends Ren and Asano, training together with their sensei in addition to working with her family to turn their fireworks craft into a ninjutsu style.
Over the course of Zyu's shinobi career she has made impressive developments not only in using fireworks for ninjutsu but also in the pyrotechnics and demolition fields as well. As the only Kibikibi serving as a shinobi Zyu has kept her current career low-key, performing civilian jobs around the village just like any member of her clan. This practice has served her particularly well since she enlisted with her teammates into ANBU, allowing her to live the life of a normal villager as a sort of break from wearing the mask. She is considering leaving ANBU soon to pursue her career as a Jounin, and it is one of her goals to establish a specialized explosives squad in Konoha.
