Name: Haku Ieyasu
Age: 10
Gender: Male
Physical Description: Ieyasu is a tall, gangly boy for his age, a muss of dark hair contrasting with pale skin. He appears delicate and finely featured, the hallmarks of his emerging bloodline. His clothing favours towards combinations of blue and white, made up of layers of fabrics that flow.
Personality: Ieyasu is, at his foremost, polite. He shows utmost respect and kindness to his elders and betters, in all situations. He seems mild mannered, and apologises profusely for any mistake he may make. Instructors have noted that his mannerisms, while still apparently amicable, become colder when Ieyasu is faced with combat, to both his enemies and his allies.
History: Ieyasu is the only son of Haku Shido and Haku Yui a pair of unremarkable Haku operating as unbranched shinobi in Konohagakure. Both had time for their son, but also had to uphold their responsibilities to the village, leaving the young boy in the care of his grandfather, Haku Nobunaga.
Nobunaga had been a relatively powerful ninja in his time, earning the nickname 'The Glacier' for his mastery of ice jutsu. He wanted his grandson to achieve the same success he had, to rise higher than his son had. He worked hard with Ieyasu, training him not only in some very basic Taijutsu and ninjutsu, but etiquette and other social skills, for a ninja need not only fight with jutsu, but also with words.
While training, Ieyasu found he had a love for the straight edged swords not often favoured by ninja. He knew many shinobi abandoned physical weapons once they began to learn jutsu, forming a crutch, his Grandfather said. When training, Ieyasu would look up at his grandfather's weapon, a double edged, straight bladed sword called 'shiver'. Ieyasu dreams of one day being worthy of such a blade.
Ieyasu had a few friends in the city, occasionally going out to play when he was being looked after by his parents. They weren't the closest group, but they at least enjoyed each other's company, spending time together as they trained at the academy, hoping to become a team together.
