Name: Mashio Miyazaki
Nickname: The Scarlet Slash
Sex: Female
Age: 21
Race: Human

Build: Tall and slim, like a fine dancer's body. Some muscle, though not very defined.

Facial Features: A very youthful appearance. A smooth, pale oval in which large eyes and small features sit. Her mouth doesn't often express her emotions, but her eyes can flash in delight or rage.

Image

Typical Attire: Form-fitting black pants and bodice trimmed with scarlet, with black gloves that nearly reach her shoulders, looking like lacy detached sleeves. A long-tailed scarlet cowl that can form a hood when needed.

Personality

One of those children whose natural talent has for so long put them ahead of their peers that they never truly learn how to grow up, or fit in when they're no longer unique. Now a full chunin, Miya's talents are still impressive for her age, but with so many other shinobi and kunoichi as talented as she is (and more so), she struggles to find her new identity. Where her talents made her seem courageous as a youth, they are now seen as reckless, even immature in the eyes of her adult peers. Unable to cope with her own perceived inadequacies (like many child prodigies she is her harshest critic), Miya can be hostile, even spiteful, as a defense against future embarrassment. When she lets her guard down she can be fun-loving and charming, but this happens all too rarely.

Fears: That she is not as special as she once thought.

Background: Born into the clan by parents who achieved great esteem from their peers, Mashio Miyazaki had the advantage in training over many of the other youths who were brought into the Spirit Fox Clan unaware of the world in which they had now been placed. With her parentage, natural talents and early experiences in the village she quickly set herself apart from the others in her age group. She passed the Night of Foxes at fourteen, and had many successful missions with her fellow genin and leading chunin. Only now, in her early twenties and a chunin herself does she find the true tests of her character, for which she may not be ready.

Talents: Fast, quiet and agile, Miya is great at nighttime infiltration. She can kill if necessary, but often finds that she can sneak to and from her objective without being noticed.

Skillls:
Ninjato
Throwing darts
Field medic (minor)
Poisons (minor)

Weaknesses:
Physical: Like most kunoichi, in extended combat with an armed, armored foe Miya will quickly be overtaken by superior strength. She must be careful to attack and win quickly.
Mental: Mentally she is a grand, towering structure, but one built on a weak foundation. If she grows to doubt herself then it will come crumbling down.

Strengths:
Physical: Fast, accurate and skillful in combat, she can often win decisively within the first few seconds, or handicap her foe in the first exchange, so that she can defeat him or her easily at her leisure.
Mental: She is skilled at changing her fighting style to suit her opponents.

Misc.
Hobbies/interests: Pressed flower craft

"That seems to be the best solution," Matsu agreed, gathering up some of his beard between his teeth to chew on fretfully -- an absent-minded habit he sunk into when worried. He wasn't afraid of getting muddied of course, nor was he particularly concerned about climbing the rope back up the other side, but the fat old scholar was worried about how the others would perceive him. He would have thought that in his old age that others' opinions of him wouldn't matter -- but he was so conscious of being unsuited for a mission such as this, that he couldn't shake the feeling that each of the others harbored those same doubts about him.

He looked up from the ravine to see Miyazaki climbing down from the far-side tree, having safely made the crossing. "Throw me the rope!" she called, so that she could anchor it to the tree for the others to scale the steep, loose mud wall. Matsu stepped back to give Zetsumie room. "It will be difficult to bring the work horse along," he acknowledged. "I hope Akimoto-sama finds another way across." It would be hard enough for Matsu to climb the rope himself, much less haul the pack animal behind!

Gingerly, Sugahara Matsu made his way down the side of the slope -- half sliding, half crawling. Nearly tumbling as his foot sucked deep into the muck, but he was able to wrench himself free without going sprawling at the bottom of the ditch. He made his way across the thin expanse to the other side, and grabbed the rope that Mashio Miyazaki had secured. He gave it a few experimental tugs before putting his full weight into climbing.

The muddy walls made the task difficult, but Matsu was surprised and pleased by his relatively smooth ascent. Sure, none of the other three companions were likely to be getting jealous of his skills in the near future, but he hadn't embarrassed himself either. With a groan and a helping hand from the kunoichi, the old genin hauled himself out over the lip of the ravine, rolling onto his back.

"Whoof!" he exhaled, before climbing to his feet and spending a few fruitless moments using handfuls of grass to wipe the mud off his arms, legs and belly.

"I half thought we were going to have to leave you behind, Matsu-sama," the girl joked, gracing him with a quick smile.

"Perhaps that would have been wiser," he laughed ruefully. He turned to watch the others.
