Hello! Going through the OCR process as described in the previous post. I don't remember exactly how to do a reboot so I'll just post my original character creation application below.
EDIT: Apologies in advance for not including any of my old jutsu, stats, etc. It's been so long I can't remember what I had. But let me know what I need to find or fix and I'll do so ASAP. Really excited to be diving back into the world of NC.
Name: Tsuji Tamiko
Age: 13
Physical Description: Tamiko is on the shorter end, at five feet two inches tall and one hundred and two lbs. Thick and fine brunette hair that drops to her lower shoulder area but she keep it up with two pins - typically for most of the day. Large brown eyes with above average sclera give her the appearance of being "doe-like" (although don't let her hear you say that.) Most often seen in a deep pink kimono with a cream-beige flower pattern decorating the arm sleeves and tracing the hem guard. Sandals with a red strap and her Konoha headband settled with quiet pride on her right shoulder. She is known to have a more quiet and gentle pace - her movements subtle, and a smooth and fair complexion with a faint rose hue across the cheeks.
Mental Description: The three core tenets that define Tamiko and her personality are curiosity, determination (reading this profile post fills you with a strange sense of it), and honesty. She adored her time at the academy - her desire to learn new things and make sense of the world she inhabits is the main reason she marks her presence. Each lesson, every discussion, and every new concept contributes to the mosaic of her growing identity. She is determined and driven to do what she feels and believes is right, although her youth often can intertwine with this belief showing a lack of wisdom and experience. Whether she's tackling an academic project or standing firm on a moral issue, her persistence is palpable. Honesty is her desire to always tell the truth, even and especially when painful to do so. It’s a characteristic that often sets her apart, as her openness can be both refreshing and challenging for those who might not share the same level of transparency.
History: "Konoha is an important and sacred place, my dear granddaughter. You must always hold it in your heart," were the last words her gram had said to her before her induction into the ninja academy. Tamiko had been orphaned in a strange sense. Her father had been a Chuunin of the village and a member of the Yamanaka clan, with brilliant golden hair - what a shame she hadn't been born with it. Her mother, an attendant at a local hotel, had loved her father dearly. Yet, when sent on a mission, he never returned. His body was never found, and there was never any evidence of foul play, as if he had found whispers of a better life somewhere else. Her mother was struck with depression and tried to follow in his footsteps, placing Tamiko in the care of her loving grandmother. She didn't hold anything against her mother; every being deserves the grace to make their own choices in life. Nevertheless, this gave her a distinct and solid link to the Yamanaka clan of shinobi, although whether they would accept her and share their secrets was still up in the air.
It was a cousin and low-ranking member of the medical corps who advocated for her entrance into the academy. It was then that she learned of her heritage and the story surrounding her mother's disappearance. There was some hesitation from her grandmother but she was quickly persuaded (never discredit the love of a grandmother concerned for her safety). Throughout her early training, her cousin -Yamanaka Kohana - would often stop by to show her little things about botany, chakra control, and maintaining her health to be at her best.
Her time in the academy flew by, at least in the temporal sense, yet she cherished the memories and experiences she gained there. As an average student, she never particularly stood out, but her natural drive and desire to keep learning kept her fascinated and her instructors pleased. She had a natural inclination for Genjutsu techniques, though this came as no surprise to those who knew her father. The best way she was able to describe it was that the "petals of the mind" just made sense to her. Graduating in the middle of the pack and receiving her headband and registration form, she stood ready to mark her place in the shinobi world alongside the honorable and fearsome ninjas she would count among her peers.
