==Personality==
With
a fire burning in her soul, Ayame embraces the life of the Shinobi with
determination and resolve. She is loyal to her clan, the Hayashi, and 
to the village she has been raised in all her life. She is often closed 
off at times, trusting only a particular few but for those she does she 
gives her unwavering devotion to. She’s passionate about life and it 
tends to trickle into her daily life; especially in her belief that 
people should be free. She’s a free spirit, often times spending time 
alone in the forests surrounding the village in order to think and get 
away from the pressures of her work.
She is patient, willing to 
help those who need it so long as they make the effort to understand and
to continue working towards the improvement of themselves beyond her 
assistance. She wants others to succeed in their endeavors but will put
her foot down when it comes down to; unwavering in her position and in 
her decisions only admitting to being wrong when she truly has been. To 
those she is loyal to, she will do everything within her power to aid 
them, including laying down her own life as a sign of her standing and 
of her devotion.
==Appearance==
Her long red hair is swept up in a purple ribbon with tendrils framing 
her heart shaped face. Her pale complexion is highlighted by her sharp 
red eyes shining with warmth, unless provoked in which case they become 
narrow and cold. Her hourglass figure is complimented by her Shinobi 
clothing which consists of a black mesh shirt with a kimono top and 
black mesh shorts with a double side split ankle length skirt, showing 
off her slender legs. Her muscular arms are adorned with black mesh 
gloves and gold trimmed white elbow length gauntlets while her bangs are
held back with a gold trimmed white headband, complimenting her soft, 
feminine features.
In her casual time, she wears a deep magenta 
kimono with floral patterns around the bottom and up the left side, a 
yellow obi with a dragon, and purple outer coat with flowers and 
butterfly patterns upon it.
==History==
Ayame was born on a fair September day to Hayashi, Hideki, brother to 
the clan head Ayaka, and his wife, Eiko. She was born two years before 
her cousin, Sayuri, the heir to the Hayashi clan.
Ayame was 
watched as a young child, being the niece of the current clan leader the
elders wanted to see if she would possess the same potency with the 
Clan’s Hijutsu as her aunt. Although able to discern scents and 
fragrances, she struggled with creating compatible perfumes, often 
mixing in an ingredient she believe would enhance the fragrance but 
instead, gave it an off aroma, especially when combined with people’s 
own unique pheromones.
Unable to properly grasp the Clan’s 
Hijutsu, Ayame’s father encouraged her to embrace a new path as she 
entered into the academy. She performed well with her studies, 
supplementing her Ninjutsu with Bukijutsu in replacement of her failed 
Hijutsu attempts. By the time she became Genin she had all but left the 
Hijutsu behind.
As a Genin she grew into her preferred weaponry,
Sais; the dual tenacity of the weapons offensive and defensive style 
appealed to her hot/cold nature and temperament. Her Genin team was 
often successful in missions, earning more missions at harder ranks the 
more times they succeeded. By the time their Chunin exams rolled 
around, they were one of the highest ranked teams for successful 
missions in the village. After their exams, she began leading her own 
teams, teaching those beneath her not only how to fight and survive, but
also important life lessons that she herself had learned.
It 
was during this time that her cousin, Sayuri, was taking her own chunin
examination. Deciding to peek in on her cousin, who had been in 
training to become the future clan head, she watched as the examiners 
paired up Kouki and Enkou, Sayuri’s teammates. The battle had been 
devastating, more so as she watched Kouki become horribly injured, 
knowing how her cousin felt about the young man. Sayrui’s battle was 
next, the longest she’d ever witnessed; she used it as a teaching guide,
showing her team the ins and outs of the fight but the biggest lesson 
she’d been able to teach them had been one that had nearly cost her 
cousin her life.
In the days following, she spent time in the 
hospital, looking in on both her stubborn cousin and the person she 
cared for, albeit without her cousin’s knowledge. Kouki’s burns were 
healing well enough, as she would give him news of Sayuri’s condition, 
whenever her cousin allowed for her to be within her presence. She could
tell her cousin was ashamed of her attempt, embarrassed at her failure 
and miserable that she was confined there for an extended period of 
time. Still, for a few weeks she tried, wanting desperately to cheer her
cousin’s wounded heart but after two weeks, Sayuri asked her not to 
return; oddly, it was the same day Kouki was released from care and she 
didn’t see him again either.
Entering into her adult years, she 
trained a number of Genin teams, most of which were successful in their 
endeavors, a few going on to become prominent Shinobi. It was while 
training her fourth team that disaster struck; as she watched and guided
them through their Chunin exams, one of her students was killed by an 
opponent. She took it hard, feeling as though she’d failed to properly 
prepare them. She refused to take any more teams on, afraid that she 
would fail them again. Several months after, she was approached and 
asked if she would consider teaching the academy students on their way 
to becoming accomplished Genin. Although afraid to be near any 
students, she agreed and for a few years she taught the younger 
generation, imparting her wisdom upon them.
It was during this 
time that she was approached by the council, the Hokage had been 
assassinated and the Hanchou had only recently passed from old age. The 
village was in chaos, even with Naoko reemerging to take the helm; a new 
Hanchou was needed to help her manage the situation and daily affairs, 
especially since they knew that Naoko’s time was limited, they wanted 
someone who would be there with her to help keep things flowing and to 
assist her when the time came to choose a new Hokage. Honored, she 
requested a bit of time to consider the offer, knowing that the position
would require her to be able to set aside any guilt she felt should 
anything happen to the Shinobi beneath her. After careful consideration,
she accepted the position.
Settling into her new role, she 
worked closely with Naoko, observing and assessing candidates that would
shortly take the Hokage’s place. As Naoko grew weaker, she took as much
responsibility upon herself as she was allowed, wanting to lighten the 
at hand. She became close to the woman, staying with her late into the 
night in order to keep the village going. As the final days of Naoko’s 
life drew closer, the Senju clan head passed due to natural causes, 
leaving her with another difficult decision to name the new clan head as
all the current heirs were too young to take over. The two of them 
poured over lists of potential successors, both for the position of 
Hokage and for the Senju clan leader. Throughout the process one name 
kept popping up over and over and while seemingly controversial, Ayame 
couldn’t help but smile lightly at the choice the two of them agreed 
would be best.
With Naoko on her deathbed, Ayame sent word to 
those she knew would want to be there, including her cousin. As they 
waited for her former students to arrive, Ayame vowed to Naoko that she 
would do everything within her power to assist the new Hokage in his 
role. Of her two most important students, it was Kouki who managed to 
arrive in time to see Naoko off into the spirit world and although 
Sayrui hadn’t been there for her final breath, Ayame saw her cousin in 
the dawn light the day of the funeral. With Naoko’s will firmly passed 
into Kouki’s hands, she and the council set to work ensuring that he 
would have the best staff possible. When the time came to appoint 
Kouki’s bodyguards, again she smiled at the names put forth for 
candidacy, vouching for her cousin, secretly hoping that bringing the 
two together again after all these years would rekindle the light that 
had seemed to die in their eyes those years ago.
As she worked 
to assist the new Hokage settle into his role, a missing-nin from the 
land of Arashi no Kuni escaped capture and in a seemingly endless 
battle, Kouki was killed as he defended his people. The village, already
suffering, turned to the council to choose a new leader and in their 
wisdom decided that Ayame was to take the seat as the Rokudaime Hokage; 
already having endured the death's of several Hokage's, two of whom 
she'd worked closely with. She agreed, deciding that for the sake of the
village's stability that she would step into the role to lead them 
through the darkened times that had befallen her peoples.
==Abilities==
Leadership: During her time as a Chunin she led a number of 
missions and trained a number of teams, using her intelligence and 
adaptability to lead them through various training missions. She is kind
and caring, lending an ear to those who needed it. As an academy 
instructor, she would help tutor those who needed help further while 
also holding command over the classroom.
Intelligence: As
a member of the Hayashi clan, a higher level of intelligence is 
required in order to understand the chemical compounds and reactivity to
pheromones. Although she could never grasp the clan’s Hijutsu to its 
fullest, she utilized her intelligence in other faucets, using it to 
further her training with her Ninjutsu and Bukijutus skills. As the 
Hanchou, she uses her intelligence to help problem solve and assist the 
Hokage with running the village.
Ambidexterity: Although
not a skill that would typically be found within the Hayashi clan, 
Ayame trained herself to utilize both appendages upon her new found 
fascination with the Sais. In her goal to become adept with the 
weaponry, she trained her left arm by bounding her right to her body, 
making it inept during her training. As she strengthened her arm, 
lifting weights and forcing her brain to recognize the usefulness of her
left arm, she was able to start leaving her right arm unbound and able 
to begin serious training with the Sais. Although now able to 
efficiently use both arms, her left is a fraction slower than her right 
and is something she continues to improve upon.
Enhanced Flexibility: With
her Sai training, she also worked with her body, training it to move in
ways that might seem slightly unnatural to some. She wanted to be able 
to properly defend herself with the Sais, her body needing to move in 
ways that would allow her to benefit from proper conditioning. She 
practiced yoga and aerobics, two forms of body conditioning that would 
optimize her young body to retain muscle memory as she got older and 
condition her form so that she would be able to continue to remain 
flexible well into the future.
Enhanced Chakra Reserves: As part of a Hijutsu clan, she has enhanced Chakra in order to better 
utilize her jutsu techniques. Regardless of her ineptitude of the clan’s
abilities, she uses her reserves to better perform her Ninjutsu and 
Bukijutsu techniques. She uses her reserves to perform a multitude of 
jutsu in battle in a shorter period of time, not needing to rest as 
long or rebuild her chakra as much. She uses this skill while in 
missions, fighting back against her opponents in a slight blitz attack 
so that she can gain the upper hand.
