Kohaku

==Background==
Before her father moved to Konoha to raise Kohaku in a more safer environment, she was born in a village that consisted of her clan who specializes in a particular style of Kenjutsu. For as long as her father could remember, the clan has practiced the art of swordplay for many generations. Some developed different forms that were ancient while others sought to discipline themselves, furthering the development of their martial prowess. Those who practiced a particular style were called slayers whereas those who followed the path of discipline were called apostles. Her father was a slayer, but her mother wasnt put in any category in particular as it was uncommon in their village to be a female swordsmen. Most women in her village either nurtured children or practiced healing and strengthening methods. The head clansmen couldn't offered his valuable assets be tossed in the line of duty, as his goal was to maintain the clan longevity and turn them into a powerhouse like the three major clans of Konohagakure. To do so, the head clansmen required the women of the clan to focus on preparing their offspring to journey into an otherwise cruel and dangerous world. In the midst of Kohaku's birth her village fell under attack by a Jinchuuriki, causing many to flee from their village, though there were some who weren't so lucky. When she was first born, all she remembered was screams and the sea of flames that engulfed her home. The young Kohaku could remember the tightened grip of her mothers hand and the sorrow filled tears on her cheek. Though the attack was a long time ago, Kohaku could feel as if she witnessed it all. 
Ever since Kohaku could walk and utter a few sentences, her father detected something dark inside of her. No matter how positive the atmosphere was, there was a shade that'd continue to expand and engulf her world, trapping it in darkness. She was hardened with the resolve to learn the abilities possessed by her bloodline. She didn't enjoy the fact that she was treated like a shadow. She wanted recognition and praise, but whenever she did something it was met in failure. Whenever she failed at something and seeing someone else succeed, it infuriated her so she turned to Kenjutsu where she practiced the blade extensively. Her father couldn't conceal his amazement as her skills with the blade nearly paralleled his when he was her age. Only difference was that she was more nimble and fast whereas her father was fierce and strong. When it was time to learn her families Kenjutsu style, she was required to make a promise to only employ the technique for the sake of goodness. Though in case Kohaku would use the family technique for something villainous, she was given a seal that restricted her Kenjutsu abilities. Essentially creating a blockade that can only be overcomed when the seal detects good will. Since then she has been practicing her families style for many years, to the point of being a serious threat to those who practices the art of swordplay. 
==Personality==
One can describe Kohaku as a combative individual, who'll never back down from an argument. When she believes that she's right about something, she'll do whatever to prove that her visions and beliefs are correct. Kohaku is quite the narrow minded individual, deeming characteristics of someone or something being the same. Due to the experiences regarding Jinchuuriki's, she thinks that they endager the world in that people are better off without them. After all they're merely tools employed in a political scheme, as villages like konoha use them as a means to scare off their enemies. Her life hasn't been the same ever since a Jinchuuriki attacked her village, claiming the life of her mother. Because of this, Kohaku feels nothing but disdain towards them and made it her goal to eradicate them from existence.
Kohaku's warm and kind disposition belies her cunning and remorseless nature. She doesn't feel a hint of guilt and disturbance in her actions. Moreover she deems her underhanded tactics and ruthlessness as a means to eradicate the purity that's infesting the land. Kohaku may show sympathy towards those who share her experience; the lost of someone who was important to them. She doesn't want to feel the powerlessness that she felt when the Jinchuuriki attacked her village, as such she's driven by strength and will acquire it in anyway. She sometimes find it difficult to read the room, for starters she may say things that're not done in a timely manner such as making a joke when in a grave situation. To keep her mind off of things she practices her Kenjutsu or read magazines, preferring to keep herself entertained for she can easily succumb to boredom. 
==Overall Abilities==
=== Genjin Swordsmanship ===
Kohaku practices the Genjin clans style of swordsmanship that capitalizes on ones ability to manipulate and channel ones chakra into a weapon, providing it with different affects. The most notable one is the ability to manipulate the nature elements that a weapon carries. When one channels their chakra into the weapon, they're able to use it as though the weapon were to be an extension of themselves. Those within the Genjin clan uses this method of chakra channeling to strengthen the bond between them and the weapon. The stronger ones bond, the more potent the technique. 
A veteran would be able to create a vast repritor of techniques based on the element that one has mastered. For example if one has an elemental affinity for water then the user could be able to make an entire branch of techniques based on the manipulation of water. Using the tides they control to drown their enemies. Another example is if one had a fire affinity, they can coat their blade with heat, slashing away and heating the air as they do it. There are rare instances where one can possesses more than a single elemental attribute, allowing them to use multiple forms at once. Though this way of usage drains the users chakra at a fast pace as it demands them to have full control over their chakra.
