Branch: N/A
IC Rank: Academy Student
Physical Description:
Miho is a small, 10-year-old girl with a delicate and seemingly frail physique. Her silky, long black hair cascades down her back, often adorned with a white ribbon. Her most striking feature is her big and vibrant amber eyes, which hold a glimmer of determination within them. Despite her petite frame, her small and cute facial features exude an air of innocence. Miho's fair skin bears the evidence of her past struggles, as visible burn scars mar her body. The most noticeable scars are located on her neck, the left side of her face, and the backs of both her hands. In reality, these painful reminders of her past cover her entire body, with the worst concentration found on her back. She frequently experiences discomfort due to the lingering pains caused by these scars. When it comes to her fashion choices, Miho tends to gravitate towards darker colors, with black being her primary choice. However, she also embraces dark purples, blues, and reds. She dresses conservatively, opting to cover up as much of her body as possible. Her attire conceals her scars, with only her head and hands left uncovered. This cautious approach reflects her desire to shield herself from unnecessary attention or questions about her past.
Mental Description:
Miho is a quiet and introverted girl, often preferring to keep to herself due to her discomfort with being the center of attention. Her past experiences and the visible scars she bears have made her wary of people's prying eyes and the questions that may follow. Consequently, she tends to shy away from social interactions and prefers solitude whenever possible. However, beneath her quiet exterior, Miho possesses a sweet and cheery disposition. While it may take time for her to open up to others, Miho harbors a longing for connection and often finds herself feeling lonely. She recognizes that her reluctance to be vulnerable and her inclination to hide herself away are the main factors contributing to her solitude, which she finds displeasing. Despite her struggles, Miho genuinely desires companionship and secretly yearns for deeper connections with others. One intriguing aspect of Miho's personality is her hidden fascination with fire. In her free time, she finds solace in playing with fire, observing its mesmerizing dance, and even daringly touching it, albeit in controlled amounts. This fascination can be traced back to the traumatic event that left her with the horrific scars she bears. It serves as a peculiar coping mechanism, allowing her to confront her past in her own unique way.
History:
Miho was born in the Hidden Leaf village to a humble family. Her father worked a factory job while her mother had previously worked as an attendant at the Hot Springs. However, after Miho's birth, her mother became a full-time mother, dedicating herself to taking care of their daughter. Despite their modest lifestyle, they found joy in the simple pleasures of life and Miho grew, being eight years old before the "incident" befell her family. Unbeknownst to Miho and her mother, her father had fallen into a dire financial situation. He had borrowed money from shady characters in an attempt to provide for his family, but he found himself struggling to repay the debt. Weeks passed, with threats and rough treatment from these individuals, yet her father was unable to gather the money. So, in a desperate attempt to punish him and extract payment, the shady figures decided to take away the two things her father loved most in this world: his wife and daughter. As night fell, the assailants chose their moment of darkness, waiting for Miho's father to head off to work. Once Miho and her mother were fast asleep, they set their plan in motion, igniting the home with a merciless fire. The flames spread rapidly, engulfing the house in a blazing inferno. Trapped within, Miho and her mother awoke to the horrifying reality of their situation. The assailants had meticulously sealed off any possible escape routes from the outside. Time seemed to stretch as they desperately sought a way out, but help was nowhere to be seen. The intense heat of the fire began to scorch and burn them, causing unbearable pain. Amidst the chaos, mother and daughter clung to each other, their hearts heavy with helplessness as they believed their lives were coming to an end. Overwhelmed by the smoke and the searing heat, Miho eventually succumbed to unconsciousness, her small body succumbing to the mercy of sleep.
It would be more than a week before she regained consciousness, waking up to excruciating pain coursing through her body as if the fire still raged within her. Her piercing screams echoed through the medical facility, alerting the staff to her awakening. The following months proved to be excruciating for Miho. The weight of her mother's untimely death and her father's tragic demise, compounded by his self-inflicted end, burdened her heart and mind. The surgeries and constant medical attention she required took a toll on her already fragile state. The once cheery and happy girl had become a mere burnt shell of her former self. Her existence became defined by unrelenting pain, causing her to question why she had to survive only to endure such suffering. These doubts and struggles led to numerous visits to a psychiatrist, which further drained her emotionally. Miho's life revolved around the hospital for nearly two years. Slowly, the pain became bearable enough for her to re-enter the real world. However, she faced the daunting question of what kind of life awaited her now. She was soon transferred to an orphanage, where her fears seemed to manifest into reality. The other children relentlessly picked on her, and even the adults seemed indifferent, only intervening when the situation turned violent. Miho felt ignored and isolated, longing for someone to truly see her and offer solace.
As Miho's tenth birthday approached, her expectations for any form of celebration or care were met with disappointment. It became clear to her that if she wanted any chance at a better life, she needed to escape from this dreadful place. In a moment of realization, she recognized that the shinobi academy could be her pathway to a different future. Despite lacking any prior training, the prospect of becoming a ninja seemed far more appealing than remaining in the orphanage. With determination in her heart, Miho approached one of the caretakers, who surprisingly appeared more than willing to help her enroll in the academy. Although she couldn't leave immediately, the knowledge that she would soon spend most of her time away from the orphanage brought a glimmer of hope.
And so, Miho's journey into the world of shinobi began.
