Name: Ishidou Aguri
Age: 13
Physical Description:
Aguri stands at 160 centimetres and weighs 53Kg, both above average for a girl her age. She has fair skin, meticulously maintained to stay smooth and healthy. Her body is slightly bulkier than average, but still within the range of slim and feminine, the beginnings of muscles seen on her and more visible when she tenses up. They are soft, as Aguri recognises that a relaxed body is needed for stronger, more efficient strikes. She has blonde and slightly messy hair, usually kept in a ponytail. She wears a variety of outfits, but they usually have the colour red in them, and they all have very small or no inhibition to her range of motion, something vital for a taijutsu specialist like her. Because of this, her default outfit consists of jean shorts, a white crop top and a red jacket that can be removed at a moment's notice should a fight arise.

Mental Description:
Aguri can be described as free-spirited, confident, clever... or just a brat. Her early life has shaped her into a fiercely independent and proactive girl who will always seek out what she wants and pursue what she believes, taking great disdain to following any ideal other than her own. She's often outspoken, though not to the point of being rude; at least not intentionally. She is truer to herself than most out there. This attitude lends itself to a natural confidence in many scenarios, even those where she knows she won't succeed, because the worst that'll happen is death as far as she's concerned. Indeed, she has an abnormally low fear of it, as she doesn't expect to live long in the first place. She has literally no skill apart from fighting, so she chose it as her trade.
Though one may not see it, Aguri is savvy. She had to be to survive alone in the streets in her earlier life, filled with uncertainty if she would make it to the next day. She's also significantly vain, always trying to look her best, combing her unruly hair and using skincare products to keep it smooth and pleasing to the eye.
She can be seen as unapproachable because of her personality and mannerisms, self-admittedly by no fault other than her own, for she wouldn't forsake herself just to gain friends no matter how badly she might want them... and oh, how badly she wants them. Aguri is fraught with loneliness that has followed her for her entire life, for she was seen as nothing more than a brat who shouldn't influence other children. Contrary to the image she portrays, she is not emotionally invincible nor is she a selfish girl. Like any girl her age, she very badly wants approval and someone she can confide with, and she wouldn't betray the trust of friendship for practically anything. She has the greater good in mind at practically all times, and has placed on her shoulders a great pressure that she hides with her sassy attitude and confident smirk. Aguri is a complicated girl, but she is herself in her purest form.
History:
Akin to many like her, Aguri was born an orphan, abandoned at the front door of the orphanage as a newborn by parents who decided not to raise her for whatever reason. As per orphanage policy, she was taken in and given a roof and food. For a short while, all was well, but Aguri was soon singled out as the troublemaker of the orphanage. She was loud, hyperactive, and had a tendency to do irresponsible things and encourage other kids to do the same. She also had no respect for the adults, meaning she was not adopted by virtue of her reputation. For this reason, she started being isolated. A little, at first, but this only caused her to act even worse when it was lifted. After a while, she was almost perpetually in a state of solitude, as the people who ran the orphanage were convinced that she was a bad influence meaning only to do harm. This caused intense loneliness within Aguri; she had so much fun playing with the other kids and now she couldn't? How was that fair? This built up resentment towards the orphanage heads and she eventually ran off at age 6. A cycle would begin where she would be gone for a few weeks before being caught stealing food or on the side of the road at risk of death from hypothermia or malnutrition, then running off again. She hated it, but not more than she hated being at the orphanage, alone and depressed.
During one of her runner-offs, she was caught stealing money in the red light district for food and clothes by a woman. Desperate to not be brought back, Aguri pleaded with her to not bring her back to the orphanage, causing pause within her. After a lengthy explanation and talk, the woman decided to adopt her. The orphanage readily complied, wanting to see Aguri gone. She assumed her adoptive mother's name, who revealed herself to be a brothel mistress.
Still, Aguri found it hard to adapt to normal society, which is how she found her calling in ninja work. An athletic and enduring body along with a shrewd mind was needed, and Aguri had both. Though her stepmother was reluctant, she eventually agreed to let her in, for she wanted to see her stepdaughter have some level of happiness.
Core Ablity: Aguri grew up roughly, not satisfied with simply doing as she was told and being done with it. No, she was the type to roughhouse and cause trouble, often at the expense of herself. She learned to take the pain, and this proved invaluable in her life on the streets. She had to be able to take pain to survive, whether it be by climbing and crawling and scraping herself everywhere, having to run from angry vendors she had stolen from, and even defending her stolen food from other street dwellers her age. She had to abandon consequence and fight like a rabid animal. She had no choice; she couldn’t afford to care about the cost to her body when it was uncertain if she’d even survive the next day.
Nowadays, Aguri sees fighting as her only trade, the only thing she has that's of any worth, and takes to it like fish to water. With an acute understanding of body mechanics, she can deliver powerful blows that rattle an opponent more than usual... at a cost. When you push, you get pushed back in equal measure, and it all too often takes a toll on Aguri's body. Not that she cares, for she doesn't expect to live long at all; she will keep fighting until she's either crippled or killed, and she'd prefer death to being unable to fight anymore. This lends her a very Reckless fighting style, focused on dishing out maximum damage at close range. She's had to endure a variety of different hardships, so as far as she's concerned, the harm she may do to herself isn't much.
