Minogami Usagi

Minogami Usagi is a Shinobi from Kirigakure who serves as the current host for the Three Tails, Isobu making her his Jinchūriki. She is known as the ‘’’Turtle Hermit’’’ due to her quiet and sheltered nature due to her position as the Jinchūriki of Kiri, with many outcasting her for her status aside from a few others.
==Background==
Minogami, being one of the few members left of the Usagi Clan, grew up mainly alone, and she often keep to herself with only the animals keeping her company. Her ability to transform into a rabbit at will often made her a target for other creatures as well until she was able to mature and transform into a more monstrous one. Eventually, she found herself in Kirigakure where she was immedetly ambushed by the tracker ninja thinking she was an enemy. However, the current Mizukage, Suijin , saw she meant no harm and decided to take her in.
Upon studying Minogami, Suijin was able to deduce her as a member of the Usagi Clan, a Clan that is known for living for a long time and transforming into monstrous rabbits. Minogami explained that all of her family was slaughtered in an attack from enemy ninja, and she wanted to always do something right for her family. Suijin saw potential in Minogami and decided to train her. He was fortunate that she had an affinity for Water Release, seeing her as a perfect fit for Kiri. However, he also saw that she may be able to be used for something far more important for the village.
Minogami was then presented with the chance of becoming the host for the Three-Tails. Minogami knew of the Tailed Beasts that have ravaged other nations, knowing them as very dangerous creatures. Suijin says he was able to seal away the Three-Tails, but requires a host for them. Suijin wasn’t afraid to reveal that he is also doing this to allow Minogami to become a powerful weapon they could use at the right moment, such as when a war between nations breaks out, and says she would have to spend her time in seclusion until the time is right. He also points out she may be outcast by the other villagers due to the trouble the Three-Tails has caused in the game. Minogami, however being the strong-willed person she is, agrees to these conditions if it means she gets stronger. Minogami even says that she has been alone almost all of her life, and that this wouldn’t be any different except being stronger from it.
==Personality==
Minogami is a very shy, but serious individual who rarely smiles and expresses any emotion at all. Due to her tragic uprising, Minogami often avoided contact with others, even those in her own home village. She is only open to Suijin, the Mizukage of Kira, and Tsukiko, whom they bonded over time due to having a similar past. Minogami is described by many in Kiri as being a hermit as she rarely comes outside or socializes with others. Minogami also speaks with a slight bluntness to her words at times, often calling others that don’t understand what she wants as “idiots.”
==Abilities== 
Being the Jinchūriki of Kirigakure, Minogami is quite the powerful ninja despite not being around the village as long as others. Suijin himself says that he vouches for her strength saying she could easily become one of the strongest ninja from Kiri after training her tailed beast more (even saying she can easily become Mizukage if she wasn’t too sheltered).
===Ninjutsu===
====Nature Transformation====
Minogami is quite proficient in Water Release, Lightning Release, and Earth Release with some Yin and Yang Release. Being a member of the Usagi Clan, Minogami has the traits of a rabbit being able to transform into one using Transformation Jutsu and maintaining the form for a long time. She is also able to use her other Jutsu alongside her form to enhance her own speed and power by a large margin.
However, her primary skill comes in the form of her Kekkei Genki, the Crystal Release. Thanks to this, she can construct large columns of crystals that can be used effectively for offense and defense. She can even crystalize things from the inside out aside from chakra itself. Minogami can also use this alongside her coral constructs to make a near impossible shield for her and this can also be used to protect her while she brings fourth the Tailed Beast.
====Genjutsu====
Minogami is extremely skilled in casting genjutsu. This often takes the form of a strange mist that can mess with the minds and senses of those that are caught in it, making it seem like they’re experiencing something real but it is indeed fake. Minogami says that the mist isn’t meant to kill the opponent, but leave them open from deadly attacks from herself. After becoming the Three-Tails Jinchūriki, Minogami’s illusions become even more potent to the point she can manifest illusions made of clones that can combat others. Suijin says Minogami’s powers make her near untouchable while fighting in or around Kirigakure.
===Jinchūriki Transformations===
Being the Three-Tails Jinchūriki, Minogami gains a significant boost to her chakra and stamina thanks to the tailed beast. Minogami has been able to achieve control where she often manifests one or all three of the tails to aid her in her everyday life. She is even able to communicate with the tailed beast forming a bond due to Minogami’s reserved behavior. Minogami is able to use the abilities of the Three-Tails mainly the ability to generate coral and trapped others in them or even make her illusion powers much more potent. Her natural affinity for Water Release also gets boosted thanks to the Three-Tails’ own affinity for Water Release.
