Age: 27
Birthday: November 30th
Height: 5'10"
Weight: [REDACTED]
Full Armor (rarely worn) - Bust
Hayakuro stands 5'11', with a thick, full, womanly build that often betrays the way she fights. Long lavender hair that flows elegantly behind and around her, she almost never wears it in any kind of adornment, instead choosing to use very basic chakra manipulation to always keep it out of her way. Her deep purple eyes are often hidden by her bangs, covering half of her warm face at times. Voluptuous and curvaceous, Hayakuro typically wears dresses and blouses that accentuate her figure, especially around the bosom and the hips. She favors lighter clothing, save for when she needs to go out in full armor.
Atop Haya's head is the Kamira Crown; a jet-black tiara made of a mysterious metal/gemstone. She is (almost) never without it, though as far as anyone knows it has no mystical powers... The metal horns attached to the crown seem to alter her appearance depending on her demeanor at the time; devil's horns vs warm kemonomimi.

By default Hayakuro is a kind, motherly figure to those around her. She will always approach with kindness and attempt nice words and flattery rather than lead with violence or harshness. She loves to flirt with anyone and everyone, typically getting more teasy with her words and actions the more she likes a person, and regardless of gender.
Her kindness is not at all to be taken for flightiness or spaciness; Haya is fiercely intelligent. Over her years she has learned that the warmth and kindness is often the easiest way to getting things done the way she feels are best, she can be a little headstrong in that vision. Compromise is not out of the question, but unless you make a very good case it might be hard to convince her that she's wrong. A woman of the world, she is very well versed in using her words, her logic, her reason, or even her body to solve whatever challenges come her way. She's not exactly selfish; she's more than happy to selflessly help those she dots on as friends or family, but she does that on her own terms.
She is mature and elegant at all times; well, mostly all times. When interacting with her youngest sister Azu she adopts some of that girl's more childish mannerisms, because it's cute! She and Azu have the best relationship in the family, but she loves them all dearly.
Hayakuro is ruthless in battle, not quite to a bloodthirsty degree, but she flushes her warmth with pure coldness and ruthlessness. She does not derive joy from combat, but she knows that when push comes to shove and blood needs to be shed, it will be shed to serve the greater good.[/col]
History
A The Kamira family is a small subset of a larger, ancient clan of nomadic shinobi and samurai. Although the family has lived around the outskirts of Konohagakure for a few generations now, and the current living members definitely consider it their home, the only one that they have ever known. All that is known about them (through the si--... Seven that currently live) is that they all have very powerful family connections; strong traits of nobility, and expert skills with blades. Mother Kamui and Father Garon have fostered an... Eccentric, but lovingly tight-knit family of Konoha blademasters.
First born in this Kamira line is Maku, the noble brother and regal eldest son.
Second born is Hayakuro, the beautiful sister. We'll get back to her.
Third and Fourth were twins, Rino and Erisu, They are a handful, two sides of the same coin, but their teamwork is unmatched.
Finally the Fifth is Azu, the bright but timid, childish daughter. She is loved by the family, but something about her just feels... Off. She was never shunned or teased by the family (at least, not any more than any other member was teased), but something about her doesn't feel the same to the rest of the Kamira's. Maybe that's why Hayakuro grew attached to her; fostering those motherly tendencies and that kind, warm demeanor she's since adopted.
As is tradition in the family, when Haya was 12 (Azu's age currently, though she has not started yet) she began her blade training. With her older brother and father watching, she and her mother performed the ancestral Ritual of the Blades, which honestly sounds a lot cooler than it actually is. Much like a painter must experiment with brushes, a Kamira bladeswoman must analyze and examine many different steels in order to find the one that speaks to them.
First Haya picked up the katana. Maku and Kamui beamed; both of them wielders of the lithe blade themselves. Holding it in both hands Haya swung. Once. Twice. A third... And the sword slipped right out of her hands! Her father shook his head; this was not the one.
Next Hayakuro found the daggers, small and sharp, one curved and one jagged. Garon looked on with curiosity; Haya seemed particularly interested in them. He hadn't seen a dagger-wielder in the family for quite some time, and these two especially were rather special to him. The lavender-haired girl fumbled while picking up the blades, but they felt very natural in her hand. With a few quick swipes she punched in the air, slashing cleanly and coolly; back and forth, back and forth... But with a miss-throw she clashed her own blades together, making her yelp in surprise and drop the daggers to the grass! Kamui tutted, but smiled encouragingly, these too were not the blade for her.
Sword after sword, blade type after blade type Haya tried, and all of them failed. She dropped, she stumbled. Once she even (nearly) slashed her poor mother's midriff! As she approached her final blade (a wire-thin rapier), Garon had a curious idea. He stole away from the scene of his flustered daughter's failures, back into the large Kamira mansion. Through the house, up the stairs, to he and his wife's bedroom. Above their bed... There it was mounted to the wall. Could it be...? Could it be her's?
On the verge of tears, Hayakuro dropped the rapier in a frustrated huff; its thin blade bent in a strange corkscrew. Kamui stood at her side, patting the poor girl's head consolingly. She tried to reassure her daughter; they would get Anna to craft another weapon, there were still a few blade lengths and thicknesses that they could try. They would find her blade yet!
Garon crested the hill and approached the two girls, a glistening silver catching Haya's deep purple eyes.
Over her father's shoulder was an axe, one the likes of which she had never seen. Not like the wood cutters and hatchets she used around the estate; this weapon practically glowed with luster and shimmered with mystical aura. Double-edged, with one side about twice as long as the other. Some parts of the thick, heavy metal looked like it gave off a purple glimmer as the light hit it; others were a sparkling silver that glistened in the sun. Where the long handle was forged into the steel head was a thick hilt that was simple but elegantly beautiful, crafted in blacks and purples in designs that Haya could have sworn were familiar...
The tall man saw the wonder in his daughter's eyes, and he knew. Hoisting the weapon from his shoulder he knelt down and held it out magnanimously to her.
Smitten by its luster, Hayakuro timidly reached for the weapon, wrapping her soft hands around both the neck and the blue-tinted handle towards the pommel. A warmth spread from her fingertips; washing up her arms and swirling inside of her, filling her with confidence. She lifted the axe off of her father's upturned palms. It was heavy, surprisingly heavy; she had to strain a little to hold it straight out in front of her. Her gaze was fixated on the sharp head, larger than she ever would have imagined a weapon to be. She turned it to see her own reflection in the ornate carvings on the flat of the wide blade.
Garon and Kamui stepped backward, giving their daughter some room as she slid her hands to the base of the handle, gripping the beautiful blue, silken cord-wrapped shaft with hands together. She turned on her heels and made a swift downward strike! She struggled to keep on her feet as the heavy steel threw her off-balance, unwieldy and unable to stop from planting the sharp blade straight into the ground.
And the ground shook. Just a gentle tremor, matched by a breeze of chakra that emanated from the young girl and blew the grass outward around her.
Garon beamed, unable to contain himself. He knew the day would come, he knew that he would sire a child to carry on that legacy.
"She truly is your daughter."
---
Many years have passed, and Hayakuro has grown into a fine, upstanding member of Konohagakure, as well as a key member of the Kamui family. Every day (nearly) she trains, she works, she teaches, she loves. She has been known to train hard with her older brother; continusly fostering her abilities with the axe that was bestowed upon her so many years ago.
When she's not training, she takes shinobi missions for Konoha, as any good Jounin does. She loves to travel, and has been all over the world in service of her village.
Sometimes she's been seen in the Konoha academy, teaching students here and there about the ninja arts. She's a great teacher and loves doing it, though her students often get a bit distracted by her various weapons, literal and natural~
But most of all she's tending to her family, dotting on them however she can and however they need. Whether helping her mother and father run the logistics of the family, assisting her eldest in Konoha matters, keeping the Twins busy, or training and fostering Azu into a proper shinobi.
