Hebiichigo (Civil War Arc)

Name: Hebiichigo Sex: Female Height: 145cm Weight: 39.6kg Blood Type: O Occupation: Kunoichi, Swordsman Affiliation: Kirigakure Goal: Destroy the Funato Clan

Appereance: Hebiichigo is a short, teenaged woman with long, wide gray-blonde hair that is kept back with a red forehead protector. Her face is adorned with black makeup such as lipstick and mascara, which are supposed to give her a more intimidating appereance. Her teeth are spiky and sharp as it is usual for the Swordsmen in Kirigakure.

She wears a red, pinstriped jumper that reaches to her ankles in length, and is too big for her arms to fit. Her leggings are usually not visible and her feet are protected by red sandals. Above her red jumper, she donned a sleeveless black jinbaori war coat with tan lining and grey hemming, worn in the style of an open vest. The back shows the symbol of the New Seven Shinobi Swordsmen.

Personality: Stemming from her harsh childhood, Hebiichigo is easily confrontational and self-serving. She comes off as very sadistic, revelling in the suffering of her targets. Despite her cruel and savage nature, she also contains a strong sense of self-preservation, desperately working to avoid any harm. However, she also had an interest in sewing, enjoying it as much as she enjoys killing.

Although she sees no value in the life of her enemies, she is very loyal and trusting towards the people she considers her friends. Slipping into her shell is hard, but once done it's even harder to get rid of her.

Story: Hebiichigo was an orphan with no memories of her family. She grew up on a trash heap outside of Kirigakure where she would scrounge the area for anything of remote value. During this time, she learned to sew, finding a real pleasure in it even when others found it a waste of time and resources. One day, a Nukenin chanced on the area and attacked her. Desperate to live, she used a pole to kill them. Being praised for her efforts, Hebiichigo made the decision to become a Shinobi herself, as she saw no other purpose in life.

Like her team, Hebiichigo came to hate the peaceful era for Kirigakure brought by the Sixth Mizukage, seeing it as an insult to their heritage. She sought to restore the violent era of the "Bloody Mist", by starting a rebellion that got her and the rest of them in prison.

During her time behind bars, Hebiichigo had time to reflect and regret her past actions. Likewise, while trying to act personally indifferent about it, she remained very loyal to her team-mates, openly defending them against accusations she didn't believe in. She was still a very insecure person. Not wanting to return to prison at all, she even suggested betraying Kirigakure by killing Kagura so they could escape the cursed seals placed on them, even if it meant a life of being fugitives. Likewise, while still having a strong sense of self-preservation, not wanting to die, her newfound loyalty made her able to overcome such fears. Even more, Kagura's death resonated with her, truly ashamed of her mistakes and wanting to honour his kindness. She also was not beyond showing empathy, able to relate to others in their time of hardship and wanting to help, though feigning indifference while doing so.

Abilities: Proficient with long-range combat, shown by her ability to effectively use Nuibari to restrain her foes in its strings. However, due to her preference to such distance in combat, she is vulnerable to close-range combat. Outside combat, she is also a skilled seamstress. Fitting to her fighting style, she is able to quickly mend tears in clothing.
