Kokumu

As a Shinobi, you aren’t famous until you’re considered a monster.

History
Kokumu was a premature baby when she was born, having many health issues and scars that still follow her to the present day. Her parents were never loving, never kind, and never nurturing; they cared only for research and scientific breakthroughs. They wished to be the first people on earth to ever create a superhuman, one that had heightened senses beyond that of a normal person, nearly indestructible, and could move swiftly, but none of this was possible with their complete lack of knowledge. Kokumu was their subject in long and grueling tests, many of which resulted in failures of the worst kind. Kokumu managed to survive these, but was left with several deformities, such as the color of her once blue eyes. They did succeed somewhere, for the experiments eventually caused a reaction from the body, causing her to develop an unusual Doujutsu. No one knows its name, but its power is magnificent for a low-key individual such as Kokumu.

As Kokumu grew, she discovered a world that was more obscene than her own: the life of a Shinobi. This world of bloodshed and chaos was not at all like her own life, where days were spent in dimly lit rooms feeling trapped, hopeless, and helpless as needles and scalpels dug into her flesh, yet she dared not cry out… The Shinobi World seemed enticing, leading her to flee from her home marred and broken, but finally free. She still bears the scars that have been with her since she left, though she is now the age of 17, having fled at 15.

Kokumu is currently residing in Otogakure in somewhat hiding.

Persona
Reserved and quiet, but does not tend to be at all shy-- in fact, she is just more unsociable than anything. She is but a shadow lurking about, not noticed in most circumstances, for she prefers to blend and observe the ongoing activities. As a general rule, she rarely voices an opinion, instead feeling the urge to withdraw and do as told—however, she has been known to become an unruly beast when provoked. Kokumu is not at all a pleasant individual, as people either make her wary, or she simply detests them. Being a scientific experiment, she has garnered looks ranging from shock to horror at her appearance, so she knows what runs through someone’s mind as they peer at her, judging her for what she has been made into—therefore, people hold no spot in her dark heart.

Neither a pessimist or optimist, she stands at middle ground gazing blankly over the lives lost and the new life created in their place. Life goes on no matter her position or thoughts on it, so she chooses to remain unbiased towards it despite her obvious grievances against the unfair treatment she has received. Not at all a problem now. However scarred her body may be, Kokumu’s will and spirit remains undaunted, continuing to rage with memories fueling it to no clear end. This brings little life to the impassive, glazed over, yellow eyes.

Garb
Factoring in her unpleasant appearance as far as marred flesh goes, the girl prefers to hide her body away. Nearly ninety percent of her body is clothed in bandages, and the ten percent being from the bridge of her nose and up, allowing her jet black tresses to flow freely. Her eyes peer out blankly and with two scars on the eyelids; one being on the left, and the other on the right. Most of the bandages are wound tight, but some flow freely, such as the ones around her hands, so as to not hinder swift and silent movement. So as to blend in more appropriately with the shadows she dwells in, Kokumu will normally don an obsidian cloak, though at times the hood of this will be detached depending upon her current position and status.

Dōjutsu
These yellow irises with undefined pupils are not at all natural. Created through intense experimentation by accidental means, Kokumu is able to not only record what she sees, but relay the information to a specific person. The means are unknown to any other than Kokumu, though it is assumed some sort of conscious transfer is accomplished to have another see the “memories,” and play them back. This is currently the only ability these unusual optics seem to have, and is obviously not used for offensive purposes.
