Personality:
Ran is nobody. But Sumire was a person with a family, friends and a home. Ran goes through the motions of her training, tries hard to forget about her life in Sunagakure, which was after all a lie, and become the best agent she can. It is something to focus on and give purpose to her life. Ran can put on a facade, but she can't stop caring, and she can't stop wondering what happened to Sen, whether he's alive out there, somewhere, on the run. Ran doesn't think her face suits her, she always feels as though Sumire's face should be looking back at her from the mirror. A conversation with Ran would convince you she takes nothing seriously, but out on a mission she is focused and determined. She objects to being used as a tool, but what choice does she have? Until now, none.
History:
Ran's parents were killed when she was a young child. They were shinobi, and it was not seen as unusual. Unknown to Ran, she herself was a catalyst in her parents' death, as a member of Root had already infiltrated her mind and was viewing her parent's movements through her very own eyes. Root claimed possession of the child. Taught to have no emotion, no attachment, she was moulded through hard training to develop her memory and observation to a high degree, preparing her for deep cover infiltration. That agent who had seen through Ran's eyes and gathered information about her parents became Ran's teacher. Once Ran could resist her teacher's mind control to a degree, and was no longer vulnerable to spies entering her thoughts, Ran was taught the technique herself, and shown other techniques, including how to use her family's kekkai genkai, the ability to rearrange chakra pathways in order to imitate the chakra patterns of others. Once she had all she needed to know, the child, a quick learner, and only ten years old was dispatched on a mission.
Root agents massacred a Sand Village family as they crossed the desert, and Ran took the place of the family's daughter, the only survivor. Her teacher used the Vanishing Face technique to replace Ran's face with the young girl, Mitsukaze Sumire. Coupled with her chakra pathway rearrangement, Ran was a convincing duplicate. She was picked up by the Sand ninja was taken back to the village, healed, and placed with her “aunt” and “uncle” and their children, to grow up alongside her cousins. Ran lived with the family for seven years, watching, learning, quietly and patiently, while attending the Sand Village academy and bcoming a ninja in Sunagakure in her own right. Eventually she received the message that the time had come to act. The aunt, who was a member of the the Sand Village's ruling council, and all her family had to be eliminated. The family had been hers for seven years. Ran killed the uncle first, the aunt herself, the oldest son, the youngest daughter, but as she did so, she felt tears begin to fall, a hard lump in her chest, her dispassion gradually fell away with every member of the family dead by her hands. The only one left, her friend, Sen, a boy the same age as herself. She had grown up beside him, known him, despite her training loved him, and could not kill him. Unable to tell him who and what she was, she told him instead to run, and he did. Ran returned to Konoha, telling her superiors the mission was completed.
Since then, she has been unable to remove her attachment to the boy she let escape, and while she follows her orders, she cannot regain the state of no emotion. In order to reaffirm her loyalty to them, Root decided not to use her for such infiltration for a long while, instead, honing her abilities in genjutsu and ninjutsu. Each mission, there is a little more of a crack in her resolve, and the spark of hate towards her masters for what they make her and the other Root members do, burns a little brighter.

Combat Style: Stealth, confusion, assassination
Kekkai Genkai: Chakra Realignment
The user can rearrange their chakra pathway system. This has several utilities:
Impersonate chakra signature – The user can replicate the chakra signature of another shinobi. This requires a sample of the DNA of the shinobi in question, and a period of time to realign the chakra signature. (Known)
Change chakra affinity – The user can alter their elemental chakra affinity to take on any type provided they either possess the DNA of a shinobi of that type, which would also mean impersonating their chakra signature (as above) or they have the knowledge to do it which was written down in a secret scroll. Currently these scrolls of how to alter one's chakra type are in an undisclosed location. (Unknown)
