[spoilername="Appearance"]
[/spoilername]
Mao is mostly taller than other girls her age. Her long limbs are lined with a somewhat good amount of lean muscle, her slim torso hardened by physical training and conditioning. Her strength has never been an issue, as she's always enjoyed being active and outdoors. This often reflects on her complexion, her cream-colored skin lined with scarcely visible scars along the backside of her left leg and the side of her right arm that look almost as if they were etched in stone. She's certainly more solid than she may appear, as she's proven very resilient to scratches or bruises. Whenever they may appear, though, they often pass by completely unnoticed. Her hair varies between orderly during classes or disheveled and unkempt during training, though the locks never grow far past her ears save for her bangs. This often gives her a tomboyish appearance.
Character's Mental Description:
Born with congenital analgesia, Mao has always been living without knowing the sensation of pain. Due to this condition, she has been forced to live with a constant awareness that she may be in harm without immediately recognizing the danger, and perpetually unaware of her physical limits. Every once and a while she would think to inspect herself for any possible injury, though she does have a habit of sometimes acting a little reckless or adventurous, often leading to gashes and broken bones throughout her childhood that remained unaddressed until someone else had taken notice of them. An incapability to perform any physical feat is often met with brashness and frustration, always determinated to remain active and train whenever she can. Her interactions with others are often met with that very same boldness, which sometimes leads to competitive relationships with her peers.
Character History:
Mao is the middle child in her family, raised by a pair of successful botanists that often roamed along several regions of the world due to their work. It wasn't until a few months after she was born when it was discovered that she had a disibility known as congenital analgesia, or the inability to feel pain, when she began chewing on her tongue while teething. This trial often led to several small accidents during their travels, requiring some amount of supervision by either her parents or her older sister as she grew. By the time she was a small toddler, she had begun to pick up sign language shortly after learning to speak in order to effectively communicate with Tsubaki.
When Tsubaki steadily began to have a notable amount of night terrors, her parents put pressure on her being able to regularly inspect herself for injuries in order to be able to pick up on any dangers without immediate supervision. Mao had been startled awake a few nights by her sister's nightly torments, which led to her unknowingly breaking her left leg and right arm as she rushed to ensure her older sibling's safety. Once it seemed their parents had found a solution, Mao's own dreams had been unconsciously affected, often having visions of Tsubaki caring for her in her dreams. Because of this, she looked to her older sister as a savior throughout most of her childhood.
While working with her family in the garden, it became apparent that her abilities as a gardener were sub-par, lacking the patience necessary to be proficient at the craft while Tsubaki excelled. Once it became clear to her that her aspirations to be exactly like her sister could not happen, she immediately took on any physical challenge she could accomplish due to her dulled awareness of pain and fatigue, often carrying their supplies or taking on any deliveries while they worked.
Her desires only grew by the time her family had moved to Sunagakure as part of a larger-scale project. When Tsubaki revealed her desire to train to become a shinobi for the Sand village, Mao saw it as an opportunity to connect with her aspired older sibling, reinforced by her own physical ability to take on the challenge. Her competitive nature shone through during interactions with other students, which led to further injuries that begrudgingly required regular visits to the hospital and time spent away from her ninja training.
During this time, a particular Jounin began to take notice of her disability, seeing her inability to feel pain as a latent manifestation of his bloodline. He came to her, offering a specialized training that could turn her most definable abnormality into her greatest strength. This remained a secret from the rest of her family, regularly visiting the vastly experienced shinobi during time between classes and training in order to become conditioned into an unbreakable warrior. The trials of torment that were required of her came naturally, though she had begun to hide the hideous marks left behind until they had healed. The senses she was capable of percieving were put to brutal tests, forced to extend her awareness through her affinity of the earth while simultaneously dulling some sense of touch that was retained from her birth. While this training was helping her find her limits without breaking herself, the gruesome nature of her secret training forced her to keep how her hidden abilities were coming to surface from her family.
Clan: Koizumi
Clan Profession: Horticulture
Clan Info: Hired to assist in the beautification of Project Rebirth. In certain circles, the Koizumi clan is well known for its ability to work 'miracles' in the field of botany. The clan is distantly related to the Yamanaka clan many generations back, but split off for unknown reasons. Yamanaka capabilities are a rarity in children of the clan, and even when they present themselves they are never invested into. Currently the clan consists of less than a dozen separate families, but their relative obscurity and lack of desire to fight has kept the size of the clan relatively consistant over the decades.
