Personality: Emeli is a quiet person outside of combat, keeping to herself and speaking only when she feels her word is needed. When she does speak, she does so in a kind, respectful manner. When speaking to someone she does not know, she will use the appropriate honorifics out of respect and courtesy. Her sense of humor is fairly poor, unable to understand sarcasm at all due to her isolated and sheltered nature. In a fight, however, she is very loud, using her words and actions to provoke the enemy into losing their calm and attack her when she wants them to.

History: Born in a small village in the Land of Wind, Emeli and her parents moved into Sunagakure in hopes that the conditions there would be better than those in the village. Emeli attended the Ninja Academy in Sunagakure, wanted to put her proficiency in Wind Release techniques to their use. She accelled in the academy very easily, and gained the attention of the village elders. They had decided that Emeli, despite being fairly new to the village, would be the next Jinchuuriki to the Shukaku. Upon hearing this, Emeli was aghast, not wanting to have a demon sealed inside of her. Her parents, however, were thrilled to hear this, wanting her to take after the Fifth Kazekage, Gaara. Much to her dismay, her parent's will outruled her own, and she had the Shukaku sealed inside her.

For years after, she was angry at the village elders, her parents, and the Shukaku, treating it with great malice whenever it would speak to her. After eventually becoming a Chuunin, she was approached with being a sensei for Academy students at the Ninja Academy. Though she at first declined, she eventually accepted, and remained a teacher at the Academy for years, which helped her anger calm itself. It was during this time that she, instead of striking out at the Shukaku, tried to reason with it. She was tired of being unable to sleep, so she spent every night talking with and hoping to get on the good side of the Shukaku. These attempts always ended with fruitless results, and as such, she became less dedicated to these attempts.

After a few years more of teaching at the Academy, she was presented with the option to be promoted to Jounin, which she accepted. A few years of being a sensei to Genin showed her that she wasn't the type to like leading around kids. She felt the desire to travel on her own, and as such, she approached the village elders, requesting she be able to wander around the land. She was met with a hostile reaction, with threats of marking her as a missing nin and a criminal if she were to leave. Appalled, she argued, but to no avail. It was at this time that the Shukaku saw respect in her, for her will to fight for what she wants. That night, the Shukaku spoke to her, promising that, if she were to let him talk to the elders, he would consider her an ally and equal. Wary, she agreed, and they returned the next day. Emeli told the elders what transpired the previous night, and let the Shukaku speak his mind. His words were filled with hatred and obscinities, angry at them for their mistreatment of him all this time. Emeli, instead of stopping him, realized that the Shukaku had been treated as she did, no more than a weapon. She spoke to the elders about this, telling them the error and immorality of their ways. Eventually, the elders grew tired of Emeli and Shukaku, and allowed them to leave, agreeing to only brand them as a Missing Nin.

Given the promise that she would be welcome to return whenever she chose, Emeli was satisfied, and began wandering the lands.

Lightning Release: Lightning Signal Fire (Releases a beam of electrical discharge in the direction of the hand, can be used offensively or as a signal)
