Hyuuga Anshin

Anshin Hyūga (日向安心 Hyūga, Anshin), is a Chūnin-level Kunoichi of Konohagakure and a Side Branch member of the Hyūga Ichizoku. She is a hybrid of the Hyūga and Yuki bloodlines, but shows no Yuki characteristics. Anshin is currently continuing her training in both eye techniques and water release techniques.



Appearance
Anshin has a sort of purity and grace to her that gives her an almost otherworldly allure. Her natural beauty is often envied by others, but more so admired. With fair and flawless skin, large, pearl color eyes, and a sweet, innocent look to her slim countenance, she truly is astonishing in appearance. Anshin’s hair is onyx with perhaps a tint of violet to it in certain light settings, and reaches to her ribcage while her choppy bangs, which only further suite her framed visage, stretch over her forehead to hide the mark of a Side Branch Member. It is very soft in texture, very much resembling silk, and a light scent of vanilla can frequently permeate the air around her.

She never wears her Chuunin vest, fining it a bit too restrictive for her tastes, so settles for loose fitting clothing that allows her perfect mobility. She wears a dark navy colored shirt that is reminiscent to a kimono, but it only reaches to her hips. The sleeves are long, but do not go past her wrists, and the ends of these sleeves are white. The shirt is tied off to her right side where a small bow can be seen, which is also being white in color, but the hip pouch that rests on her waist also seems to keep the shirt closed.

The pouch is black and contains her medicinal ointment that she learned to make from her father just before he died, scrolls containing extra tools, and a particular paralyzing agent that she uses on her senbon. Her shirts meets a black skirt that just barely reaches her thighs where white bandages lay to help hold a weapon holster that carries all senbon and kunai. Her footwear consists of black heels resembling Tsunade’s shoes.

Casual Attire
Without any training or missions to complete, Anshin will don a navy, loose, long sleeved shirt that hangs off her right shoulder, a white skirt, and black thigh high socks. Her shoes are just black sandals that are normally seen worn with kimonos. Her hair will be pulled back in a bun at this time as well.



Intelligence
Anshin was not part of an Intelligence Division for nothing at all. She is very bright, even showing a very brilliant understanding of Genjutsu when she freed herself from a Genjutsu when her base of operations came under attack by several enemies, then releasing her comrades from it as well. She seems to be able to quickly identify illusionary techniques, though does not utilize them herself.

She also has shown to have photographic memory by her memorization of the Chakra Pathway System during her studies on Anatomy and Chakra as an Academy Student. She cannot yet use her bloodline trait, the Byakugan, so she had to make up for that in other ways when she left her job as an Intelligence Officer. She had enough skills in battle that enabled her to increase her knowledge in several areas, but it took her until the age of 23 to become a Chuunin due to her lack of training for those years in the Intelligence Division, and the fact that her way of utilizing the Gentle Step was without the use of her Doujutsu. Her adaptability is shown greatly in this feat.

Chakra Control
Like all Hyuuga, she has demonstrated the ability to release chakra from every point on her body, and uses chakra in her style of fighting. The Hyuuga member prefers to use this knowledge over Chakra and Chakra Control by becoming a Sensor, and a very powerful one, no less. Anshin did not seek out the life of a Medical Ninja, though her mother often stated she would have been a great one despite her unstable mindset. So, as a testament to her Chakra Control, she chose the life of a Sensor, which is very valuable in the world of Shinobi.

Taijutsu
Anshin, unlike other Hyuuga, does not necessarily prefer this battle style; instead, she tends to jump between this type of fighting and ninjutsu. Her Gentle Step is severely hindered by her inability to actually see the Tenketsu in another’s body; despite her memorization and learning of the system, the view in her mind can still be misconstrued by a rapidly moving opponent, which is why she temporarily altered her fighting style to palm thrusts rather than finger strikes to increase her chances of taking out multiple Chakra Points, which has proven useful in the past, but this also requires a larger burst of chakra than the which is required by the Hyuuga’s standard fighting style.

She has also been known to vary in Taijutsu styles as well, for she sometimes will fight with more blunt and brute force attacks that require her to use her fists and feet, but she is not known for great strength, so strays from this as much as she can unless needing to counter.

Anshin is very graceful and swift in her movements, making up for the lack of power behind each attack. Similar to a cobra’s strike in fluidity, and equally as dangerous, the Hyuuga will very frequently hide a senbon in the palm of her hand that has its tip coat in a paralyzing toxin. Her movements are usually fast enough to hide the senbon and cause very little pain to the target as if she never hit them at all; however, all it takes is a simple prick and the effects of the toxin will take over the appendage struck. Usually the agent will only target small areas due to the small quantity, like the muscles in the arm, but it can effectively disable the mobility of that appendage.

Ninjutsu
Water Release seems to be the only element at Anshin’s disposal, much to her mother’s dismay. She had hoped her daughter would be the next Yuki prodigy, but it seemed she would be unable to do so without the second affinity required to even begin work on such a Kekkei Genkai. In any case, Anshin seems to enjoy using water release in battle as a means for pulling her opponent in closer for a well-aimed strike to their Chakra Pathway System. She may also utilize it as a form of protection or to obscure another’s view of her.

She seems to be very capable of using this affinity despite her limited amount of jutsu and techniques, but she has been shown to be versatile with them as well.

History
Anshin was born to a Hyuuga father and Yuki mother in Konohagakure, but did not seem to retain any Yuki bloodline traits. Where her mother was white headed and had the most brilliantly tinted blue orbs while her father, a main branch member to the Hyuuga Ichizoku, donned very dark hair and those pearly eyes of his bloodline. Their love had been a very rocky one due to the fact that the Hyuuga clan feared he would share secrets with the Yuki clan, so branded him as an outcast and a side branch member despite his ‘royal’ blood. As a result, his daughter was also branded, an many teased her about being a hybrid, something she was not necessarily proud of; she however, learned to cope with this, yet obtained a very pessimistic outlook on life and a cynical one as well.

Her father was killed late one evening after the elders had placed the symbol of the side branch on his daughter, marking her for the rest of her life, and possibly her children’s lives. His rebellion led to his ultimate demise, though he managed to take out one of the members of the main branch in the process. This left Anshin without a father figure, or anyone to teach her the secrets of the Hyuuga Clan, but she was resourceful. Although her mother feared for her safety, very frequently Anshin would creep out the training grounds to watch the other members of her family train and grow more experienced in the clan’s techniques. Her impressive memory helped her learn some of these techniques, but she could not figure out how to activate the Byakugan, something else she was often teased about in the Academy; they often noted her to be weird considering other Byakugan children activated it on birth.

By excelling in her classes in the Academy and becoming well-known in the village for her problem solving capabilities, her Sensei requested that she speak with the Hokage at the time for a “Placement Test,” as he called it. She was only sixteen at the time, but he figured it would be interesting to see what she scored. Her marks far exceeded the man’s expectations, and it was not long after that day that she was recruited in the Intelligence Division. For the first year, she merely learned the ropes, and after this she helped in interrogation and delivered information to the Hokage when needed. She was twenty when she stopped this, deciding that, although it was a good challenge, she found no fulfillment in it, and would seek out another opportunity later in time. For three years she trained for the Chuunin exams, and managed to unlock her ability, but only has a range of fifty meters thus far, like that of standard activation. She plans to further her field of visions while also learning more Water Release techniques.

Her mother has since passed away, leaving the woman alone in the world again, for she does not have friends to lean on due to most of her time being spent in the Intelligence Division.

Persona
She’s certainly peculiar in character, and these ‘oddities’ in her personality make her very difficult to understand and get along with. She appears to be a sadomasochist in nature, garnering pleasure from inflicting pain and receiving it, which in turn makes her a very problematic foe to encounter. She prefers to inflict pain, though, rather than have herself harmed, which shows in the way her skin is without marks. She’s a loner, most certainly, as she rarely makes an effort to actually speak with someone unless needing them for someone or having no other choice. She also has a cynical nature that leads her to work alone rather than with a group, for she does not trust people very easily, if at all, and always expects them to turn on her or mess things up. She also holds a very pessimistic view of the world, even showing an opinionated side to herself during moments before missions begin that appear rather difficult; often, she will state something to the effect of, “It’s going to suck when we die,” or even, “Try not to die, or get anyone else killed.” It’s easy to see why she is hard to get along with, especially considering her blatant disregard for other people’s feelings, or perhaps a separation from her own. However, she has been known to be somewhat shy or submissive around superiors, barely saying a word unless spoken to by them. It seems she holds high regards for those in power, and does her best not to upset them, proving she may have some respect for the human population. Anshin also seems to enjoy the company of animals, mainly the cute and furry ones, such as rabbits, squirrels, kittens, and the like, showing that there is in fact a soft and adoring girl beneath the hard exterior; although, this adoration of the animal population does not seem to cross over into the human population. The Hyuuga, despite her innocent appearance, tens to get along better with males because of her tendency to become stubborn and hard-headed when challenged in any manner. She also seems to be laid back until things are not getting done, in which case she can become something of a dictator. Anshin does not like to be told to stop smoking, and will berate anyone who dares to tell her they are bad for her health; she knows, but she does not care, and considering her career as Kunoichi, she believes she is bound to die anyway.
