He is rather careful around new people, often holds himself back from talking or going towards other persons. This due to his tragic past which people reffer as abusive and slavery. Yet he is already a lot warmer then what he used to be. When people talk to his past caretaker they are often hearing that he was a bitter and angry person, never smiling. However, through the kindness of Shelly, his nurse, he began to open up. It seems though that some of the emotions from his past still linger as he becomes slightly depressed when he is reminded of it. He has sworn absolute loyalty to Sungakure; promising not to die until he has fulfilled the Intention's wish.
Now he is trying his best to be more open towards people, his curiosity sometimes gets the better of him, but as some people describe. It is like a small child trying to learn. As he doesn’t recall having a childhood in which freedom and safety roamed.
He never dares to do show himself to people, as he is still trying to grasp who he can and can’t trust. Yet his companion is so far teh only one beside Shelly that has seen the mark on his back.
When Nanashi was brought inside Sungakure, he was underfed, pieces of flesh that were dying on him because he didn’t had the strength in his body to recover anymore. After he was brought and treated, he was treated for a while till he spoke the language at least decent enough to save himself once more. He started to learn how to cook from his nurse Shelly. They grew a bond and soon he was found in healthy state.
His body lean and yet muscles are clearly visible. On his back there is still the mark of which his past master held. A continues reminder of that he is theirs and not free. This holds him back in his live too, even though he is save and free these days. The feeling doesn’t say that to him.
He has half long hairs which lean towards a blue-ish white color. He often tries to tie them together, not always in the best attempts though.
His eyes are like the sea, having this cool blue color, but when he is getting very angry, his pupils almost seem to change towards this dark hue of blue.
As for his clothing, he wears almost everything but is must cover up his lower back. If that isn’t the case he won’t go out at all. when he trains, no matter where, he will never pull out his tanktop.
Born in a traveling village. Nanashi was a healthy little boy. All the parents wanted was the boy to be healthy and they were lucky on that part. However, his mother was ginger and his father was a dark-haired color... The blonde part still took over, the parents had at first a huge argument... But only after the party for the birth things got cleared out. It seemed that the ginger part did run in the family and that their son was about to get it. They finally knew why the baby boy had such hairs. As it was usual in their clan, every child would get a puppy at the age of 6.
Nanashi was quite fast with learning as long as he was able to actually do it. The reading, however, was a fact he was slacking behind on as it only bored him out.
Through the years Nanashi was going to the school from the village they lived in. There were up to 5 groups only, beginner as a sort of day-care only in groups, the 'second grade' where you would learn to share and care for each other. The 'third grade' where you could help people as you had programs along with the reading and the writing. The 'fourth grade' where you would learn more about the village, the history behind it and more. Last but not least the 'fifth grade' where you learned everything and fighting basics.
It was a way in their village along with the Clan they were hoarding.
When Nanashi was around 6 years and in the 'third grade' he heard about his dad making a promotion. Kids their age were never allowed to look at the battles from the higher-ups since it could and mostly would involve blood along. A new leader was later that evening announced which was Nanashi's father. The Clan 'Frozen Howl' had a new leader. Nanashi celebrated it later that night with his mom along.
A next year went by, his dad was out on a hunt and Nanashi was helping along the village after his school. His pupper was with him that he gained from a new nest. A joy came over the boy as he held him in his arms. There was at that moment directly there a connection between the two already.
It was that the pupper had found something odd around the border... He took it with him home to show his mother who scolded him, hit him once and asked furiously where he got that from, what they said. It all confused Nanashi the most and he explained everything. A conversation was held later that evening with the council in the village... But there was never a word slipped anymore around Nanashi.
About a month later Nanashi was outside with his class, picking berries for those ink-sets they were using on their skin. The companion of him was barking loudly along and they were growing closer already.They all had a lot of fun, getting blue or even yellow tongues because of the berries. Yet a low horn was sounding and even the teacher fell soon silent. She quickly went to gather the kids and took them towards the village. A horn that low blown... was a sign that there was danger close by. Unknown to them was that the village was already in trouble.
By the time they got there, the village was burning, a smoke emitted from it. They all were hurrying back but Nanashi had only one goal as he saw the smoke. His mom.
He had promised his dad that he would look out for mom, always and ever. With this thing in mind, he ran even quicker so quick that he stumbled over his own feet and got smudge of blood over his knee. Even though he got terrified he kept on running.
Bashing in the doorway he was looking for his mom, calling her out and walking into the small living room they had. "Mom!!" He shouted out again and found her in the kitchen. She was laying on her belly and his father even told him mamas can't do that when they expect a tiny baby. So he hurried even more over and started to shake her, calling her name. "Mom!" He went along, shaking her again but there was no reaction given from the female. A cold like grasp was getting to his heart. "Mom!!" He sounded with a croak in his voice. "Mom!! Wake up!" He tried again and shook her more firm. "Mom!!Not funny!" He desperately went along before turning her over. A large red pool was below it but Nanashi didn't fully understand that nor the sudden wet spot on her chest and stomach. "Mom! please wake up! I am scared!!" He whimpered and got towards her and hugged her. But the eyes were right to open and there was no movement from the mother. "Mom....." he whimpered even more and the sobs were emitting. This was all heard by a bandit who stood in the doorway, grinning and laughing he got closer. "So their little boy... You seemed to be unable to wake up your precious little mommy... Want me to take care of you---" Suddenly the talking stopped and Nanashi was cowering a bit. The man fell down with a thump...
A large shadow soon overcast Nanashi and a scream were leaving the boy. A firm grab got around him and he heard his father voice. "I am here Nanashi, I am here.." The man tried to soothe him. "Dad!" He quickly spoke muffled in the hand. Tears were streaming down his face and his dad picked him up, said the last thing to the mom and left the hut. Yet there was a task up hand. Getting out of the village and to get out save.
Bandits and raiders were everywhere, Nanashi was hugging his dad around the neck while being carried. "dad..." he whimpered and felt the sudden tensing in his father's body... The Raiders were setting everything on fire, the men were getting slaughtered from here to there. Everywhere where you could look you saw death and blood. The young pupper always remaining on the side of Nanshi and had a few burned spots on his fur, but not skin.
A rapid fire was spreading as the raiders were done pounding the goods. They were laughing and celebrating their catch. "Nanashi..." The father placed the boy down near a few baskets and ruffled his hair, unknowing that that was the last time his dad would ruffle his hairs. "Listen to me closely... Do NOT get out of this basket, no matter what will happen. Only one of our village... you may react to.." The father spoke and Nanashi had to swear on it. He had to swear he wouldn't get out as he ánd the pupper were placed inside of it.
The basket lid was placed on top along with something heavy so the lid wasn't bumped off in on accident but light enough for Nanashi to lift it... But that was right the moment when a few Raiders were ambushing the poor father. A scene was to be seen for Nanashi... as he saw his father battle... "come on... you... you always win... you always win.." he whispered himself as he cheered on his father. Yet a horror was to be seen as a raider stricken down the chest. The limbs of the father went soon numb and with horror, Nanashi saw it through a tiny hole... Right, that moment when his father was stabbed in the heart. "...." No words were leaving him... Nothing was leaving him, no word no sound... Nothing... tears just streamed down his face...
The village was overrun and yet for Nanashi, it seemed the time stood still. That nothing was moving currently.
Hours passed, screaming’s passed and Nanashi kept on hiding in the basket. Hands covering his ears, his eyes shut closed.
It was the moment that it all went silent that Nanashi finally dared to peek through... It wasn't only just a dream. "Mom...dad..." He sobbed soon again, he felt unsafe, scared and terrified.
The fire was down, the scent was unbearable... Slowly he got the lid off and searched around... It was moments later that he found someone he recognized. "Leo!!" He shouted and his voice was cracking up again. The tall blonde man turned around and looked honestly surprised towards Nanashi. "Leo!!" He shouted again and ran towards him till he collided with the man's legs. "Leo....mom.....dad..!" He sobbed and tried to make clear that something horrible had happened. "Leo...." He sobbed and a huge sigh left the man. "Yes... they are dead... Throw him in the cage along with the others.." The eyes of Nanashi widen, cage? others? "Leo?!" He said and Leo himself only repeated his name. "I got SICK of your PARENTS always WINNING everything! You are just another CURSE in my path! But not for long, NOT THIS TIME!" He shouted to the boy, kicked him away when the raiders took hold of Nanashi and lifted him up so he couldn't run away. "LEO!!!" Nanashi shouted loud and tried to wiggle himself free without any effect.
He was thrown into the cage and couldn't believe what was happening... he summed it all up... His mom was gone... His dad was gone... and... Leo was a bad guy... He curled up and bit his lip harshly even enough to draw blood and ended up crying till there was no tear left... The people on the cage had tried to soothe him... But there wasn't much to sooth Nanashi.. until he was so exhausted from the crying, everything that happened... that he fell asleep in the cage.
The cage was placed on a cart... It was wobbling along the road... Nanashi huffed a time as he looked downwards. "Mom... dad..." Were his mutters before he woke up, having a nightmare of the happenings. With tears in his eyes he looked around, it seemed they had stopped along the way. "..?" He was silent and just looked with fear in his eyes. What was going on, what was going to happen? Many questions were left to be unanswered.
The bandits or rather the evil man got closer. They were getting the people one for one out of the cage. With fear in his eyes, Nanashi followed the other kids. The kids were separated from the adults, only those too young were able to stay along with an adult... the rest was staying with the rest of the children. The room they were having was blank. Once they were all in their children started to cry... Everyone did and even Nanashi himself had trouble not to sniffle again.
"Hey... guys..." he said with a sniffle and stood up to face them all. As a seven-year-old, this was a hard thing to do. "We... We will make it! We can do this... I know we can..!" He said and raised up a fist. "Everything will be okay! Because... Because we are... The Frozen Howls!" The little speech got the other children to stop crying and cheeking long... Yet there was a plan made in the meanwhile.
The bandits had heard the little speech, but there wasn't any action taken against them.
The kids were placed into labor, mostly the searching for things and when turned 10 they would go into the mining. To let them still grow and having an OK life they were given Little food but really nutritious food. Just enough to not starve them and not letting them get underfed.
Years went past like this, caged in a labor working. Days were long and tiresome... He was huffing a lot when the sun with high... Others were having a hard time as well. Once he got home he smiled somewhat... The room they were all shaking with each other was home. Silly.. in his state of mind, but it was home because they were there. But what he didn't saw coming was the fact that they were all waiting for him. "SURPRISE!" There was a loud cheer following and Nanashi fell backward, surprised as he looked to them... They all... they were cheering him on? They got to him with tiny gifts. All found somewhere or made themselves... and they all spared the food a bit, only the edible after a few days to celebrate Nanashi's 10th birthday. Because they knew he would be pulled away tomorrow so they were going to give him a last good meal here.
The meal was filled with seasoned meat, fruits, and vegetables. Everyone still had their own meal and Nanashi was sharing his own with the weaker ones even though it was for his own birthday.
The necklace he had gotten from them he placed around his neck. With a smile, he looked towards it. This was amazing...
That night he had a hard time to get to sleep. He was playing with his necklace along with stroking at the ceiling. "hmm... tomorrow... is the movement huh.." He spoke and turned around once more. He was wishing he got some more sleep...
By the time he was woken up he was more confused. "Wait... What.?" He was torn out his bed without an easy going like the others. He was kicking around and panicking at this sudden taken away. He woke up the other children who started to rampage a little too, at least those who had woken up more.
Nanashi was tossed, literally tossed, into the sleeping room of the more grown-ups. Adults, teens, old males... Only males. He managed to catch his companion who whimpered soon and Nanashi cared for deeply. He started to stroke the fur.
He was looking up and coughing up sand. An older male, thin in his build, underweight got to him and helped him dusting himself off. "You okay?" he questioned worriedly to him. "They hardly throw someone new in... what did you do?" Nanashi explains after that what had happened and even the adult had questions about why Nanashi was tossed inside.
Slowly Nanashi was looking around. People who could be his grandpa were still around, most of them were napping... then you had the older people... and they all looked really thin... Eventually, he looked again towards the older male in front of him. "What... is.. going on..?" He sounded and tilted his head. The male placed a hand on Nanashi's shoulder. "You are placed in the deep mining... You will be mining each day... Collecting the things they want... and... let's hope you don't end up like the last kid... Just... do what they say... there won't be any trouble.."
With that in mind, Nanashi started to work on it. He was almost like an A class miner for the bandits, who had sold them in the meanwhile.
Almost a year later his friend was also thrown inside. While it was dinner time. "what...?" Nanashi said a bit lifeless as work was really hard to even for his age. "Mike!" he sounded even more surprised as he placed his food away and ran to him. "Mike..?" He shook the other who woke up and held a hand in front of his face. "what..." His food was quickly taken away by other people, mainly his companion who wanted an extra snack.
Nanashi soon took care of his friend and talked him through as the male had done by him... Sadly he informed that he wasn't here... he was undergoing a punishment... It was only past midnight that the male did return. No one woke up from his return... but the more they were surprised as the other got down. Everyone was speechless at what had happened. They all rushed to the other and looking at the bruises, the dried op wounds. They were in an uproar but they all were quickly shushed down.
A year passed by before he and his friend had a laugh in the mines... but unknowing that his friend was stealing from the people. They were both grabbed and Nanashi quickly said why me why him. But they didn't say a damn... it was then that they faced Leo again. Nanashi's face was instantly filled with anger and shouted at him. A loud crash sounded and a whip clashed with his back. "AHHH!!" He sounded high and bit his lip, holding a hand on his back, the clothing was torn. He was soon sobbing over the pain that was on his back. Leo's words soon followed after and he talked about the sins they had done... Yet Nanashi had no clue what had happened. His friend was called out for so many things. With big eyes, Nanashi looked towards his friend and even more in shock after he saw his friend getting a death penalty and Nanashi had to watch as a take part of the sin.
Nanashi was devastated after what had happened... He had to witness it all and the images were engraved to his vision. Each night... He went to sleep with nightmares... The first nights he didn't even sleep at all... Everyone was suffering... And Nanashi felt he had the worst right now… He buried himself back into the fur of his companion. “What… what do I do..?”
He promised again to never ever talk about his again... He eventually even builds up a wall around himself and stayed on his own... None of the people who got in from the last one... Thought that Nanashi was himself... They all had seen how much he had changed. But that was the moment... The group set up a plan... Behind the back of Nanashi.
Few years later..
The rhythm sounds of pickaxes hitting the rocks. Rocks falling down and faint explosive noises... They all were to be heard... There wasn't much spoken between the man working... But there was enough being spoken about between the bandits.
That was until one of the workers started to go haywire... They started to run, hit the guards and soon a whole riot broke out. At first, Nanashi didn't know what to do and stood by the side... That was until someone grabbed him by the arm and dragged him alone. Too confused that Nanashi was. As he was following the other one. "...?!" he ran after him until they stopped. Another set of explosion went off and bright sunlight was shining through. The bandits also started to shoot in their back. Not much to be done about. With panic, Nanashi took shelter and leaned against a rock. A male boy now 15 years... And unsure what was going on. The stranger ánd his companion tried to soothe him but it didn't help the situation at all.
Nanashi took a quick shelter along a gap along with the other... It was the man from day one who welcomed him.. With a big set of eyes he looked to the other... A knife was pressed against his stomach. "Take this.... And keep yourself safe out there..." he spoke only and gave a weary smile. Almost as of, he was tired or anything... Why he did this Nanashi didn't have a clue... The exit was near and he wasn't understanding anything of it. "Go...!" said the man and pushed Nanashi to the side, with him as front as a shield... He pushed, like many did, others up. In this case, Nanashi was the one pushed up and got out... But was greeted just like many others with a long way down as it was steep.
The soaking air was going through his hairs, the gleaming of a sea was getting closer and closer until he smacked on it. Feeling his wrist hurt a whole lot. Once above the water, he was swimming to the side as many others did.... But it was a time of survival and everyone took their own way... Just a few waited on each other.
He got to the shore... Panting a lot as he bit down on his lip. This was a whole lot painful... He hated this... He hated the feeling that made him nausea... He fled into the woods and wasn't able to move his wrist... He tried and screamed out of pain... Which eventually got the attention from a person up close... Nanashi automatically was distant and really careful, defensive... His companion taking a rather defensive stance, something was wrong. Something wasn’t right with his brother and he couldn’t help him either taking it away. It smelled like blood around him.
While the older lady was standing in front of him... The twelve year old had already forgotten how long had he walked already... Only now he noticed the burning sensation below his feet, his muscles standing in protest and his breathing had a rather quick phase to it.
He huffed a time again... Seeing the old lady coming in closer... Nanashi himself took steps back, raising a hand up to protect his face... Because after those years that was his first instincts... While walking backward he stumbled and hit his head along a tree root. With a rather worried lady along.... The wolf got quickly close towards him and stood over him, ready to defend as long as it were to be needed. Yet it didn’t seem to be the case. The lady was… rather patient in gaining the trust of the wolf and the for the care of the little boy… and once a moment later, a little brancard was made and she started to place the boy on top of it, the wolf wanting to carry him. And as the lady feared, it was a rather easy task at hand for the wolf. Thus to harder for her to do.
With a big pain in his head, he woke up... His hand lifted to rest upon the bandage... With his fingers, he followed the lining and looked half awake and surprised about this fact...
He started to listen to his surroundings.... No more pickaxes... But the sounds of birds welcomed him... A water-like sound was the close sound of running water. A ticking sound was coming after a while… And the snorings of the wolf a meter beside. It… seemed so peaceful.
Nanashi pushed the blanket off and sat up... Only now noticing his other hand was in some sort of cage... Looking towards it he was almost fascinated by this... The pain was severe less... But he didn't dare to put any strain on it.
Slowly his movements got till the point he was standing up... He walked around a little and was even more confused. The wolf waking up and staring towards him, tilting a head and wondering what the human was up to. It didn’t seem to be himself right now"...?" with a tilted head he followed till he met a door... But no one was in sight. He walked around and saw a portrait of an old man and a young man.. Two kinds of scent sticks were surrounding it. He took a scent of it and deeply regretted that moment. He pinched his nose and stuck out his tongue. Yuck...
It was that moment he heard a rustle and his eyes popped open. He bit down his lip hard and got more towards the ground. As if it were an instinct reactions he had. He started to find a place to hide and shuddered a little. Scared to what was coming... Yet at the moment he wanted to charge because of the shadow coming closer... He heard a sharp whistle which caught him off guard and to stumble back again. The lady got in and looked pleased towards Nanashi. "up already? You know you shouldn't.."Nanashi looked strangely with a grim like smile... Fuck...
It was only that moment that Nanashi started to learn to be again with someone while having to do nothing. He had a lot of troubles with it along on the beginning. He held so much trouble that the woman eventually gave him really light chores to do... Clean vegetable. Or anything like those light things. Then it started to work out... But he did was curious and remained like that... The woman gave him books eventually and started to learn together with him the language of the deaf... The language of signing.
They lived together for almost a half of a year... A fun part of his life and Nanashi learned some things about nature... But the lady was old... And she got worse with the day... Nanashi was nursing her the best he could, but even he had his own limits. Training, hunting, learning, cooking.... Eventually, he did everything in the house.
There was a time where the lady died... And Nanshi had watched her do so... He was amazed how close he could get to a person. Who he didn't even trust before. With a soft sigh, he looked towards the lifeless body... Checking her pulse, breathing for the last time and place something over her to cover her up... In memorial of her... He started to pack his things and leave the house. Yet he left with a great pain in his heart.
For years he was roaming around the forest, cliffs and many kinds of things... But he ended up surviving in almost every place.
A new home
It was till a few shinobi’s managed to find him, and close up to him. The mark on his wolf might had been a bit too much explaining. He was already the last one and that something was on… it was just strange. He barely had healed from his wrist and then this happened. Instantly the male had gotten defensive. Taken up a stance some words were formed, but unknown to any human tongue. It seemed for the Shinobi the same that the few miners had who escaped. Yet this one seemed to be at an age of 13 almost 14...
After a battle he and the wolf got captured and transported. Yet not like the last time. He woke up in a save place, again, yet didn’t recognize it at first. Neither did his companion who remained soon close towards his brother again. It took Shelly, the nurse around three years with him to get where he was when he left the hospital and was good enough to life at his own. He had already bloomed towards the male he was today, yet never had much contact with the ‘outside’ world from the place he was kept. He had learn basic jutsu’s and how to properly take care of himself and his companion.
It was then, that he wasn’t placed in a branch yet, as he was still trying to get through this day to day life. Today he was 17 years old… and decided it was time to actually get out of his comfort zone and try out many things.
COMPANION CANINE.
Unlike Nanashi, he is a bolder one. He dares others out for playing a game, hugs and more. He notices quickly when Nanshi isn’t feeling all that well and often tries to give emotional support. He too has been part of the past yet doesn’t seem to suffer that much of it all.
How jolly and silly he can be, he also knows when the situations is asking for a silent and patient wolf. He will then remain at the side of Nanashi and wait for commands and try to ‘listen’ to them and such. Yet he is often falling asleep as he isn’t really that well in standing still.
The fur has a warm grey overall, yet some bits have a light greyish hue. The marks on his forehead is the only thing that could tie them both towards their old clan feature. One of his ears has a ring through it, this is Nanashi’s promise ring, that they would stay forever with each other. The wolf has a lean body and comes towards the upper leg of Nanashi, quite high and he often let little children ride him. Yet he can easily carry the weight of an adult too. As he is lean yet strong. He has a chain around his front paw, because of the fact that no one is able to remove it just yet. It doesn’t hinder the wolf too much, yet.
