<strong>Name:</strong>Uchiha Kaya<br/><br/><strong>Team:</strong>Team Shout<br/><br/><strong>Appearance:</strong><br/>(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/b2b2a153.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>Main strength:</strong>Sharingan<br/><br/><strong>Bloodline/Clan:</strong>Uchiha<br/><br/><strong>Bio:</strong><br/>Despite being born to the famed Uchiha, a noble clan of Konohagakure, Kaya was surprisingly unassuming while growing up. She rarely drew the same attention other members of her clan did and, when opportunity to step into the light showed itself, she often preferred to slink quietly back into the darkness. As the only child of two nin, both of which believed in giving their all for the village and clan, it was inevitable that the young sharingan user would find her way into the academy. And with a genjutsu expert for a father, Uchiha Keisuke, and a taijutsu artist for a mother, Uchiha Kai, it wasn't long before she was taught the skills necessary to excel in her classes. It wasn't a road she chose but one she enjoyed. She was always eager to go to class - even if she didn't participate much by asking questions or volunteering - and was quick to show off her grades, although mostly only to her parents.<br/><br/>At home, she led a fairly uncomplicated life, with plenty of chores and the usual joys and trials a family might face. As a nin, she remained in the background during missions, always choosing to let someone else take the lead or save the day. It might have been considered cowardly by some but it helped her get by and such insults were soon brushed aside by her passing of the chuunin exam. To this day there persists a rumour which claims that she only managed thanks to the sharingan but few have been able to back-up such sayings, especially seeing as almost nobody has seen Kaya activate her sharingan.<br/><br/>As for life changing events... The first real tragedy Kaya ever faced was having to witness the death of an older nin while out on a peaceful walk in the woods. She unwittingly put herself in danger by letting off a terrified scream but was lucky enough to have alerted nearby Konoha-nin to the threat. Kaya helped stopped an infiltration into the village that day. The incident occurred before the academy and was both traumatic but helpful in the end, enabling the young Uchiha to steel herself for the many more deaths she'd come to see in her lifetime. It still didn't help for her first actual kill however, an act which left her hands feeling bloodied, even after she'd washed them over and over and over and over.<br/><br/><strong>Family:</strong><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong> Mother, Uchiha Kai - The Konoha Clone</strong> <br/>(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/09880df6.jpg)<br/><br/><em>Biog</em> - Before the war Kai would've been known as a pacifist to many, with her duty to her village riddled with second-guessing and naiveté. During that time she had felt there was always a non-violent way and, even if there wasn't, she'd at least try to resolve most situations with as little bloodshed as possible. It was only after the war that this view grew jaded. Now she sees most other villages as scum and believes that it would only help the ninja world should Konoha spread its gentle ways... forcibly if necessary. During the war she inherited the name "The Konoha Clone" for the manner in which she'd litter the field with her dopplegangers. Even if a fight was hopeless, she'd at least distract the enemy enough to enable a safe retreat.<br/><br/><em>Abilities</em> - Kai revels in the chaos of melee combat, with a vast array of styles at her disposal from hand-to-hand to weapon based. Coupled with her liberal use of Shadow Clones (to overwhelm or intimidate) she can become a force to be reckoned with on the battle field. She's also usually picked to train nin with special qualities, such as bloodlines or lineages, in the art of melee-combat <br/><br/><em>Personality</em> - Kai can be a bit of a minx, even against an opponent, but the result is usually under a six-feet bed rather than on one. She loves causing trouble and can be upbeat to the point of smugness. She's also the type which expects a lot of Konoha nin, especially those from Noble or well-known Clans.<br/><br/><strong>Father, Uchiha Keisuke</strong><br/>(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/582f5a59.jpg)<br/><br/><em>Biog</em> - Uchiha Keisuke began his life as a bland young man who quickly developed into a thespian of emotion. There is little information on the sharingan user other than the fact that he was born and raised in the Uchiha district, rose through the ranks swiftly during the war and has yet to lose a fight, although that doesn't mean he hasn't failed his fair share of missions. Nobody can pinpoint a time he might consider tragic but it is at least known that he's happily married and cares for his family.<br/><br/><em>Abilities</em> - Keisuke's art lies in Genjutsu... And that's all anybody really knows.<br/><br/><em>Personality</em> - He can be friendly or aloof, flirtatious or cold, depending on what he feels suits the situation best. Even childhood friends can't be sure when he's being honest or playing a part. All that is known is that he is loyal to Konoha and works under the belief that the end justifies the means.<br/></div></div><br/><strong>Personality:</strong><br/>Kaya is mostly just out there to have fun, make friends and grow to become an accomplished nin. She enjoys socialising, pushing others into awkward spots and finding trouble, only to disappear by the time people start pointing fingers. It's a happy-go-lucky attitude which contrasts greatly with her mannerisms as most who meet Kaya for the first time perceive her as deadpan and a joykill. She can also be fairly confident and arrogant but will always stop short of accepting a task with too much responsibility, or pressure, such as being the leader of a team. Even if not the leader however, she's proven herself to be a valuable member of any team, with a knack for getting the job done.<br/><br/>Another small quirk Kaya has is the way in which she approaches missions. She practically dons a new skin when attiring herself for a task. And in a way, it acts as her safety net. The outfit she wears on missions today is actually the one she wore when she made her first kill, modified and fixed for her through the changes of age and battle. She puts it on to face the horrors of each mission and then slips it off at the end as if shedding away any unpleasant memories or scars.<br/><br/><strong>Strengths and flaws:</strong><br/>Kaya's strengths lie with the sharingan, genjutsu and an effective, if somewhat lazy, taijutsu style. She's a highly defensive nin which excels in support - utilising her healthy reserves of chakra and a quick flinging arm - but struggles when placed in the more direct roles of a team. She also has an affinity for fire-based jutsu, like most of her clan, but prefers her own subtle strikes over literally "burning up" chakra in a showy blaze. Minus her abilities with flame and a few academy basics, Kaya unfortunately has a very limited pool of ninjutsu to call upon. This leaves her with very few options for dealing damage in a fight, especially when coupled with the fact that her taijutsu style rarely makes use of any direct forms of attack. She mostly relies on using her opponent's strength and/or speed for quick counters or throws but such attacks are rendered useless against taijutsu experts or heavier foes. Lastly, she also suffers from a lack of stamina, meaning she normally has to deal with any opponents quickly or face the consequences of an exhaustive battle. She simply can't run, jump and slide around at the pace her fellow-nin do without tiring herself out.<br/><br/>Mentally, the Uchiha seems relatively stable at a glance but with a tendency to shy away from responsibility. This doesn't mean she won't fulfil her duties or play her part in a team, just that she won't go beyond the call or increase her responsibility voluntarily. She simply reels at the thought of placing another's life in danger by the possible decisions she might make and so prefers to follow orders, to the LETTER. Sometimes, she can be loyal to a fault, by not questioning the commands given to her by those currently in charge. The only time she might hesitate when executing an order is if she feels she might be putting herself in far too great a danger. There would have to be an astounding reason to convince Kaya to take on whatever she deems as suicide.
