Makoto

Makoto, born Makoto Yuki, is a 22 year old Kunoichi of great renown, heralded throughout the Shinobi world as "Makoto of the Twin Rivers". Makoto is known for her unique double Kekkei Genkai, possessing both the Ice-Release of the Yuki clan and the Boil Release of the Terumi. A former member of the Yuki clan, Makoto now wanders the lands with her companions, seeking her own path in the world. 
==History==
Makoto is the younger cousin of the head of the Yuki Clan. Makoto's father was the brother of the previous clan leader, and had sought out Makoto's mother for her Kekkei Genkai, the Terumi's Boil Release. Makoto's father hoped to have his son take leadership of the clan, hoping that their combined Kekkei Genkai would prove his own line's superiority over his brother's. Unfortunately for him however, Makoto's mother died in child birth, leaving him with only a daughter, ineligible to become clan leader. 
Due to this, Makoto has always had a strained relationship with her father. To make matters worse, throughout her whole life many members of the Yuki clan sought Makoto out as a potential wife, wanting to leech off her unique abilities to bolster their own standing, much to the disgust of Makoto. Makoto quickly proved herself to be one of the most powerful members of her clan, gaining great acclaim even at a young age, but as she grew more renowned her problems with her clan members only worsened. Eventually this resentment reached its peak, and in her later teenage years she abandoned the clan, deciding to live as a wandering Shinobi, before eventually meeting her future companions. 
==Abilities==
===Art of the Twin Rivers===
Makoto's fighting style is referred to as "The Art of the Twin Rivers", which utilizes both of her kekkei genkai. Makoto is able to effortlessly change the form of her water, to either steam or ice as she pleases, and freely shape her creations seemingly at will. Makoto's mastery of her powers is exceptional, requiring no hand signs at all for the vast majority of her techniques, allowing her to easily outpace and deceive even the savviest and most skilled opponents. Makoto is even able to alter the temperature of her ice and steam, and is capable of creating scalding hot ice, or freezing cold mist at a moments notice. Makoto is a master of recycling her elements, and will often continue using the same water for multiple different attacks over the course of entire fights, significantly reducing her chakra cost.
Makoto often combines her different abilities in combination attacks, a favorite of hers being creating an icicle around her finger, before instantly evaporating most of the icicle in an explosive release of burning steam, propelling the tip of the icicle at extreme speeds like a bullet, a technique she simply refers to as "Ice Gun". Another oft used technique of Makoto's is to continously create a path of ice under her feet as she moves, and let out a constant stream of steam from her feet, essentially allowing her to skate at absurdly high speeds across the battlefield with incredible manueverability, outperforming the speed she could produce with only her Boil Release. 
In summary, The Art of the Twin Rivers is a relentless and endlessly versatile and adaptable fighting style, making Makoto a master of both offense and defense, and giving her the ability to flow between the two as freely as water itself.
===Boil Release Taijutsu===
Makoto is able to utilize her Boil Release to vastly enhance her physical capabilities with the use of powerful bursts or streams of steam, allowing her to temporarily demonstrate absolutely monstrous feats of strength and speed, seemingly unfitting of her slender frame. Makoto isn't exceptionally skilled at taijutsu, but her sheer power and speed more than make up for it and allow her to compete with monstrous physical opponents and perform outstanding physical feats.
===Summoning ===
Makoto is able to perform the Summoning technique, with her signature summon being an incredibly rare and powerful amphibious beast referred to as a "dragon shark". Makoto's dragon shark in particular is named Byu, a particularly friendly member of his species. His cheerful personality aside however, Byu is still an incredibly dangerous combatant and a tremendous boon to Makoto against her enemies.
Byu is large enough to swallow a human whole, and be ridden by several people, though he isn't anywhere near as large as a boss summon. Byu seems highly intelligent for an animal, but is unable of speech. Dragon sharks are remarkably powerful creatures, and are capable of producing monumental amounts of force, which is most noticable in the speed and power of their leaps as they rocket themselves through the air. When fully submerged in the water however Byu becomes even more of a speed demon, able to propel himself with his tail at unimaginable speed. Dragon sharks are additionally able to rapidly recover from injuries and even slowly regenerate wounds as severe as lost limbs or damaged organs when they are underwater. 
In addition to his physical capabilities, Byu is also incredibly adept at Water release himself, having the capability to produce vast waves of water from his mouth, or spew dangerous high-speed water projectiles. Byu is also highly compatible with Makoto's own water based ninjutsu, and receptive to her chakra, allowing Makoto to essentially utilize her jutsu through Byu as long as they are in physical contact. This allows Makoto to ride Byu and provide him with the extreme physical power and speed of her Boil Release, potentially create ice armor or weapons for him, or surround him in a pillar of water to allow him to swim through the air.
