Name: Motomori Mouko
Gender: Male
Age: 12
Height: 4' 11"
Weight: 102 lbs
Appearance:
Mouko is a shortish kid with long arms and an oddly muscular back. He favors his signature hair cut that ordains shaving the sides of his head of thick black hair, and using gels to make sure that it stays up. His goggles are almost always on, especially when he is in some kind of fight. He has no real strategic reason to wear the goggles, but instead thinks it makes him look cooler then the rest of the kids in his class. His clothing favors darker colors mostly, but he enjoys wearing his training gear for everyday purposes, which includes comfortable pants, a light form fitting shirt, comfortable shoes, and wraps around his ankles. When he removes his goggles, his eyes are a dark hazel color that reminds many of the autumn forest. He wears his supply bag and his weapon's bag on his belt, within easy reach in case he ever needs them.
Personality:
Mouko isn't the kind of ninja that most people would expect him to be, he is instead one that enjoys the peaceful solution above the constant violent ones. Crossing blades is not a solution in the eyes of the young boy, and he will go to great lengths before he does so willingly. Mouko has found peace in partaking upon the earth, even going forth and creating his very own Zen garden (one of stones and sands with designs carved into them). While here, he enjoys meditation and contemplating the flow of reality and existence. Mouko also has a fairly large soft spot for the small fuzzy creatures in life, especially kittens, but he has a borderline phobia of large dogs. He feels a strong sense of protection of the mother earth, as well as her creations.
Story:
Mouko was born in the village of Sunagakure twelve years ago to a smithy and a maid. His father had always drilled him to be a better man with more options presented to him, while his mother was not around too often. Mouko grew up studying the different forms of warfare, and being taught about different weapons, until the day that his father enrolled him into the ninja academy. "Life is hard among the sands, but with the abilities they will teach you, maybe one day you'll get to see the outside world". Mouko trained hard for many years for that very reason, until the day came that his class was taken beyond the borders of the village to see the outside world. They were led through the intense sands for several days, learning basic survival training and how to deal with the outside world, until they arrived to almost the border of the Wind Country, to the clearing of a small oasis that had a small pool of water and the sparse green trees growing about it. Animals roamed around the peace of heaven among the sands, running wild with their freedom. Mouko was captivated by the sight, thus he spent as much time as possible taking it in, remembering every detail. From that day forward, he decided that he would bring the silent beauty of the oasis from the spot that he stood to his village in any way possible. After that day, whenever his anger or other emotions got the better of him, he went to his zen garden to remember the clear blue waters and flowing green leaves of that wonderful place.
