Okay! Finally, here is my sign up! Sorry for the long wait! ^^"
<Name> Hinju Kirima
<Age> 13
<Gender> Female
<Bloodline> Hoderi
<Bloodline History> Hoderi means 'Fire Shine' and the Hinju legend states a powerful fire demon granted this power. The Hoderi allows the Hinju clan to manipulate fire, and use it to their own advantage. It can be provided as a shield and a weapon. Even in damp conditions, the gifted Hinju (Not all members of the clan have the power) can call forth fire for their purposes.
<Fighting Style> By using Ninjutsu, Kirima attacks from afar. Close range attacks are her weakness. Her special technique is the "Fire Release: Ribbon Dragon of Flame" in which she combines fire and ribbons, using chakra to fuse the two into a powerful fire dragon. The technique itself does not drain a lot of her Chakra. By using her Hoderi she can attack using flames, causing severe damage. Rarely does she use it separately, but merges it with her Ribbon Dragon of Flame to enable more control over the demon. When she fears her enemy may be at an advantage, she calls forth a wall of fire, in which she protects herself, and stores any energy directed at the shield.
<Village> Meteor Village (Fire)
<Appearance> Kirima is approximately 5ft 4, and is slim. Her hair is a deep brown and is tied back with ribbons. Her eyes are a deep grey, and her skin is quite pale, making her look naturally tired. Her choice of clothing is shorts, and a simple top. The colours of her clothing are dark, to blend in with the shadows. Around her neck is her Ninja Headband, and tied to her leg is a Kunai knife, not really for battle, but as an accessory. Her arms have ribbons tied around them, and she has a thick white one tied around her waist. The symbol of the Hoderi is a teardrop shape, which is etched on Kirima's forehead – she has had it since birth.
<Personality> Before her grandmother's death, Kirima was shy and would often depend on her grandparent's support in everything. She was timid and did not get on with other children. Once her grandmother passed away Kirima realised it was time to change – not just for herself but also for her grandfather and her grandmother's spirit. She became more confident, and more easy going. She found it easier to make friends, because she was more open. However, she became more stubborn to do things right, and despite being more loyal towards friends, she still lacked some trust. If she meets someone new, she will either instantly like or dislike them – or in some cases form a secret rivalry with them. Deep down, her motto is 'Live life to the fullest'.
<History> Kirima grew up with her grandparents, since her parents were talented Ninja, also possessing the Hoderi, and were always away from home on dangerous missions. Her grandparents taught her how to master the Hoderi. When the gennin exams were due, her grandmother passed away. This affected Kirima deeply, and failed the gennin exams the first time round. Her teacher realised she had potential, and arranged the resit for her. After she passed, she was placed into a team with fellow gennin. The highest ranked mission they ever had to accomplish was a B-Rank.
Nothing seemed out of the ordinary until her grandfather took ill, out of poisoning. Kirima, at first, wanted revenge for her grandfather – despite the fact he was getting better – and believed his poisoning was related to her grandmother's death. Her grandfather told her that revenge was just an excuse to start another pointless war in life, and that she should embrace the fact that she – unlike so many others – is still alive, instead of avenging other's who have died.
Her grandfather returned to his normal health, yet still takes ill from time to time. He still teaches Kirima new things, and hopes that one day Kirima will be able to take control of the Hoderi Knife – the legendary Hoderi weapon.
<Other> The Hoderi Knife is a simple blade, however it has the power to be joined with fire, and can cut through many substances. The Hoderi Knife is not passed to just anyone, the member of the Hinju clan wishing to possess it's power must prove their worth. It is a sacred relic and is honoured by the Hinju clan.
