Nickname: Tsu
Age: 17
Birthdate: Fourth day of June
Gender: Female
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 150 lbs.
Nindo: Will discover in role play.
Personality: Despite not being considered 'Samurai' among her fellow countrymen and family, Tsubame follows the tenets of Bushido with a passion. In this way, she considers herself to be one of them, but internally seeks some way to be recognized as such. She's very committed to this goal, even though it may be nothing more than a mere fairy-tale for a female -- in her family's view, at least. While fiercely devoted to her cause, she's generally a kind and gentle person. Empathizing with others is a natural skill of hers, that has lead to a very compassionate attitude towards people. Humble in a way where she'll puts the needs of others before herself, and finds joy in seeing others happy. Going hand-in-hand with her brave soul, Tsubame will act as a guardian for those unable to defend themselves, and has a soft spot for children (and cats/birds). Tsu has always been one to speak her mind, but will generally dissuade any arguments if they start to arise. She's intelligent, in and out of battle, proving to be very perceptive and keeping her cool in even the most chaotic of situations.

Bloodline: Hakemoto: States of Being
Chakra Pool: 250
Stamina Pool: 250
Chakra Element: Suiton & Fuuton

Chakra Materialization: Her chakra doesn't manifest visibly outside of the aura that surrounds her body, instead presenting itself in the form of a gentle, constant stir of wind, and a strong atmospheric pressure affecting those surrounding her. None of this causes any harm, simply a feeling.

→→
Strengths:
• Very proficient with favored weapons of the Samurai, while specifically specializing in the Naginata.
• Unwavering spirit; doubly so when protecting the weak/children.
Weaknesses:
• Ninjutsu is outside of her ability in regards to chakra manipulations.
• Compassion for others; putting them above herself.
Fears:
• She values the lives of others, over herself even, and is afraid to have the death of an innocent or ally weighing on her conscious.
• Being looked down upon by fellow Samurai for being a female; not being recognized or respected.
Reductions:
• Learns Bukijutsu techniques two posts faster.
• Passive one post reduction to learning due to Rogue status.
Personal Attributes:
• Conditioned Warrior: Despite her appearance, Tsubame trains herself vigorously to achieve peak conditioning, reducing the cost of rigorous styles so they only consume a single slot.
• Onna-bugeisha Spirit: The Naginata being chosen to represent her fierce and compassionate spirit, she wields such a weapon with utmost grace and skill. Tsubame's devotion to the weapon enables her to use it just as skillfully with other weapon styles she learns (within reason - a Naginata cannot be used to the same effectiveness as Nunchaku or Fans), and being treated as the weapon in question in regards to the style being used.

The Ashikaga family resides in the Iron Country; a small noble family noted for their respectable Samurai that hail from the lineage. They take pride in their Samurai, training them at a very young age - many of them becoming royal guards or serving in the Shogun's personal army. Tsubame is the youngest of three, growing up with two older brothers who were learning to wield a sword a soon as they were able to walk, fulfilling their destinies as powerful Ashikaga Samurai. Females in the family were forbidden to become Samurai, instead tending to political affairs, specializing in medicine, and aiding their families greatest warriors. Some learned to craft, leading to a lot of the family's possessions being one of a kind, including weapons and armor. The more beautiful ones, were often prepped for marriage. Tsubame was pre-engaged by her parents in her early teens, however, was more intrigued by the Samurai lifestyle to even give it a second thought. Nor was she interested in the idea. A lot of her training was self-taught, watching her brothers and father in silence, with some further encouragement from her beloved elder brother before his deployment. Her skills were great 'for a woman', but were not even remotely acknowledged in the eyes of her father. In fact, it pushed him to encourage an early marriage ceremony with her soon-to-be husband's family in hopes of Tsubame finally committing to her supposed role. Seeing this as a potential threat to her biggest dream, Tsubame fled, leaving the country undetected by a merchant's carriage, that brought her into the Village of Artisans, Takumi.
