Ryutaro is slightly smaller than average for his age, standing at a height of five foot with a weight of one hundred and three pounds. He pays little attention to his raven black hair, aside from keeping it mid-length. Aside from this, he is content with its unkempt, wild appearance. Despite being of the Uchiha bloodline, his natural eye color perfectly resembles his mother's sky blue irises.

<B>Mental Description:
Bravery is a trait that is entirely absent in Ryu. He's excessively prone to running from his problems rather than making any attempts to face them. After all, he is afraid to be hurt. Though there is a trait that often acts in competition with his tendencies, the vague desire of being important. He can't live without some sort of purpose, and that is the only thing driving his desire to become a ninja now. It is a weak motivation and one that is the sole motivation for subsequent goals, but it is an omnipresent one all the same.
Ryutaro is far from being an introvert despite his cowardice. He likes to talk to people, and he could even be considered overenthusiastic in his social pursuits. He cherishes his friends heavily, to the point that he's often willing to drop everything to help a friend or simply spend time with them. Though he has never had strong obligations to rival this tendency in the past, so it is yet to be really tested.
However, he has his share of melancholy days, days where he looks back on the past. And there is nothing for him there but sadness, even the happy memories are clouded with it. Because there is nothing in his memories that he can go back to.

History:
The boy is the product of an illegitimate pairing between two parents he never met. His father was not overly close with his mother. And his mother had not survived bringing Ryutaro into the world. From there he was quickly brought into the care of his niece and uncle, on his mother's side.
The couple lived far outside of the Hidden Leaf and did not care much for the child they only took him in as a convenience. They had a son of their own, Heiji, he was several years older than Ryu, though he was sickly and frail for all of his life. Once Ryu was old enough to take care of him, that responsibility was dropped completely onto the boy.
He did not despise the duty, however, his moments with Heiji were moments when he could be happy. Though there was not much they could do aside from talk, as Heiji was bed bound, this was enough for Ryu, he enjoyed talking with him.
However, as the cousins bond grew, Heiji became sicker. Any doctor could have said that he didn't have much time left but the family didn't realize this, least of all Ryutaro.
Heiji was seventeen on his last day, while Ryu had just recently turned thirteen. The younger boy had ended up dozing off, with his head on his cousin's belly. By the time the boy woke, Heiji did not. Ryutaro's initial attempts to wake him were playful, though they swiftly shifted to being full of worry until finally, he was yelling at Heiji all while his cousin did not respond.
The yelling did end up waking Ryu's uncle and niece, and they followed the sound to Heiji's room. First, they had torn Ryu away from his cousin's body, then they grieved shortly before they turned their attention to the child. They had not grown to care for him any more than they had when they first took him in and now they blamed him for Heiji's death. They forced him out of the house, out into the mockingly sunny environment. Ryu pleaded to be let back in, he didn't know where else he could go but there was no response. And eventually, after he sat there for so long, crying at the door, he managed to get up and start to walk away, arms crossed over each other. His irises were blood red as he walked in the vague direction of Konohagakure.
He made it eventually, half-starved and exhausted. At first, he had no idea what he would do, after he managed to get some food he felt rather goalless. But there would come a time where he couldn't stand dwelling on the thought of Heiji any longer, he needed a distraction. And so the village's Academy became that, he would become a ninja,
fill his life with that purpose. He wondered if Heiji would be proud.
Ryu imagined that he would.
