Name: Yanagawa Hoshiko
Village: Leaf
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Rank: ANBU
Blood Type: O+
Chakra Affinity: Lightning
Family:
-Father: Yanagawa Hitoshi (47)
-Mother: Yanagawa Chiharu (44)
-Siblings:Yanagawa Hiroki (Brother, 13) – Genin
-Other:Yanagawa Aijou, Yanagawa Kohana, Yanagawa Miyuki – second cousins
Various other Yanagawa relatives
Appearance: Hoshiko is tall, standing at a full 5'11”, with a very curvaceous figure that she loves to show off with well-tailored clothing (in typical Yanagawa fashion, of course, meaning plenty of Purple, Black, and Gold). She was, of course, born with typical Yanagawa coloring: very pale skin, white hair, and – as is common amongst mixed-blood Yanagawa – purple eyes, though Hoshiko's have something of a silverish cast to them. She accents her eye color, as well as the triangular markings edged with circular Doutai that all Yanagawa share, with dramatic makeup in shades of purple and silver, with a stylish swoosh of black eyeliner. Her soft white hair is kept in long layers at shoulder length, and she dyes the tips purple in a jagged, uneven sort of pattern.
In accordance with her clan's tradition of honoring and displaying rank with ear piercings, Hoshiko wears several gold earrings: the three piercings along her lower ears that she earned by her progression from Academy Student to Chuunin, the chain and cuff on her right ear that marks her as ANBU, and the single hoop in the upper cartilage of each ear that she earned through her recent promotion. She also has a tattoo on her right shoulder blade: a jagged purple lightning bolt that appears next to the Doutai that appear on her shoulder blades. When not working missions she likes to show both the Doutai and the tattoo off with low-backed shirts or dresses, though she sometimes wears jackets over them. Her choice of clothing also serves as a warning when she attends rock concerts: no one wants to get too rough in the mosh pit around a Yanagawa with exposed Doutai on her shoulder blades.
Personality: Fun-loving, sporty, and even a little flirtatious at times, Hoshiko loves to be the life of the party. As her name might suggest, she is a definite night-owl – staying up til all hours of the morning and sleeping half the day away. Her biggest pet peeve about being a Shinobi is when she has to get up before dawn – that's her not long past her bedtime, after all! Also true to her name, Hoshiko loves Astronomy, and will spend hours just looking up at the night sky either looking for constellations and shooting stars or simply enjoying the beauty of a starlit sky. Despite her party-loving attitude, Hoshiko can be responsible, when she wants to be. She believes that the greatest party can be achieved through good, clean fun and isn't afraid to simply walk out of a get-together takes a turn in a direction she doesn't like.
Likes: Stars, chocolate, hanging out with friends, rock and roll concerts
Dislikes: Being bored, ignorant people, getting up early, excessive amounts of cabbage
History: Born to loving parents in the Yanagawa clan, it was clear that Hoshiko was a party girl from the start. As a toddler she would dance whenever she heard music, and she always wanted to play instead of go to school as a child. Even in her younger days she would get in trouble for staying up past her bedtime and sneaking out onto the roof to look at the stars, one time nearly falling off the roof and spraining her ankle in the process. Needless to say, she didn't go onto the roof again for a while after that.
Despite always falling asleep in class due to her late-night stargazing, Hoshiko managed to make good grades in the Academy (it's also suspected that she would wait her homework until past midnight and complete it with a light hidden under her blankets) and passed without a problem, much to the surprise of friends and family who knew her habits. Immediately afterwards she was assigned to a team with classmates Akihara Koichi and Ichimu Yasushi under the leadership of none other than Tensei Kaori.
As the team progressed from picking up garbage and finding lost pets to performing missions with more action involved, it became clear that this was a team more suited to combat than, say, diplomacy or strategy. Between Koichi – a weapons specialist like his father and siblings – speed-based Yasushi, and Hoshiko's own hard-hitting style (not to mention Kaori-sensei, who, despite her training as a medic, is no stranger to combat), the team took quickly to missions involving danger and battle. It did, however, take quite a bit of effort to school them in the ways of diplomacy and subtlety; oftentimes Kaori's political training was the only thing that got the team out of a sticky situation the genin had found themselves in.
With time and effort, however, the three were able to learn from their mistakes and, when the time came, earned their promotions to Chuunin: Koichi at 13, with Yasushi and Hoshiko following at 14. The three took every opportunity to team up for missions, and, at 16, enlisted into ANBU together. The three now operate as a unit, with – of course – the addition of a medic, of course. Because of their performance in the war, the squad all were awarded promotions within ANBU, operating at a higher level and earning Hoshiko the right to wear the Jounin-level hoops in her upper ears. They continue to serve the village to this day, being among the squads chosen to take turns serving as bodyguards to the new Hokage.
