Amy wears a small pendant that was her mother's on a gold chain. It is a red stone that has been polished smooth into an oval shape and is set in gold wire.
Personality
Amy is not your typical pre-teen girl as she isn't girly in the least bit, she enjoys working with her father and uncles, and training with her numerous cousins - all boys. More often than not she has some sort of an attitude, she isn't the sort you would want to offend as she is never afraid to defend herself in any way she can, and this little girl can really pack a punch. Just be sure you never tell her she hits like a girl. Even with her fiery demeanor, she can be kind and respectful as well, as long as people are kind and respectful toward her.
History
In the village of Sunagakure there are a handful of clans that control the Merchant Districts, the Suchiru family is one of these such clans. This family can trace its ancestry back to the First Men, and will never hide this fact as it is a topic of much pride for the Suchirus.
The Suchirus control a majority of the weapon and armor trade within Suna, including renting the workshops and forges to other smiths, as well as renting shops to the merchants that wish to sell any type of weapons and armor. Naturally, having control of the facilities Suna offers, the Suchiru clan has produced some of the most celebrated blacksmiths in the village. Amy's uncles are all master blacksmiths, and all of her cousins are apprentices beneath their fathers. However, Amy's father, having been the eldest of the 5 brothers that were born from the last clan leader, has inherited his father's responsibilities and title.
As clan tradition stands, the eldest son of the leader must apprentice under his father to become a master blacksmith first, as well as learning the ropes of managing the aspect of the merchant district. The clan leader holds the secrets of the clan's blacksmiths, which no other person may learn - that includes any other family members, even the younger sons of the leader are not entitled to learn these treasured skills. Any other sons of the clan are taught by their uncles alongside their cousins.
Suchiru Kitaeru, Amy's father, learned the trade from his father, beginning his apprenticeship at the age of 10. An exceptionally fast learner, he earned his Mastery at the age of 20 and continued to learn the necessary skills to assist his father in the management of the smith trade in Suna. At the age of 30, Kitaeru's father passed away and left his legacy to his son. Kitaeru went on to become the most successful and respected leader the Suchiru clan had ever known. Soon after his father's passing, he met the woman that would soon become his wife, Murasaki. They married when Kitaeru was 40 and two years after they welcomed their first born into the world, a daughter, who like her mother, was kissed by fire. This quality - red hair - is considered lucky in the world of smiths. However, Amy's mother passed away soon after giving birth due to complications from the lengthy labor.
Kitaeru was heartbroken, but knew his daughter would have the same fiery spirit that her mother had, so he vowed to raise their daughter to be the best she could possibly be.
Amy grew up in a very loving and large family, and sure enough, had inherited the fire that her mother had, as well as looking exactly like her mother. Being a very strong-willed girl, when she reached the age of 6, she went to her father and asked him to begin teaching her their clan's trade. Unwilling to begrudge anything to his daughter, she began her apprenticeship and soon showed the same promise as her father had, and learned faster than even he had. She soon surpassed many of her male cousins, gaining her Mastery in both smithing as well as the management of the clan at the age of 12.
Upon gaining her Mastery, she decided she would also like to learn to use the items she had spent 6 years of her life learning, and asked her father to let her train to use a sword. Naturally, he could not refuse her, and thus sought out a swordsman for her to train with. After working with her father in the main clan shop and training with her sword for a year, she decided she desired to expand her horizons to the ninja world, and expressed her desires to her father, who, again, unwilling to begrudge Amy anything she desired, enrolled her in the Suna Academy.
