Senju Misato

Template:Character Sheet

## Appearance

A woman of incredible beauty with long white hair, reaching all the way down to her lower back. She had light blue eyes and alabaster skin. She stood at 5'5" with a very thin frame. She generally dressed in modest clothing of a white kimono and a cobalt blue obi and wooden clogs upon her feet. While moving around in an official capacity, she would wear her Kage Hat, specially made for her.

## Personality

Quiet and reserved normally, but when she is around people she is familiar with, she can be friendly, teasing, and sarcastic. Humble to a fault, she (unlike her half-sister) knows about the trials and tribulations of the downtrodden and less fortunate. She cared for her people immensely and would be quick to action if it means to defend those she loved. After becoming Hokage, she felt love for the entire village of Konohagakure and would defend the villagers with her life.

## History

### Childhood

A bastard child. Her father was a nobleman from the Senju Clan and her mother didn't belong to any clan. Disavowed by her father, her and her mother were thrown out to live in the derelicts of the Fire Citadel. She learned that her mother had an affair with her father while he was married. Her father didn't wish for a scandal so the two were thrown into the derelicts. Her mother soon fell ill, passing away when she reached the age of 7. She lived as a street rat for 4 years before she was caught trying to pick the pockets of a branch family of the Hyuga clan. Taking pity on her, the Hyuga clan member brought her into her house and raised her.

She learned the Hyuga rituals and etiquette and even learned to use the art of the Gentle Fist. While she was unable to see Tenketsu Points, she was still fairly gifted in the martial art. Not only did she learn Martial Arts, she also became rather proficient in Kenjutsu. While the training was tough, she was loved and treated fairly. Through several requests to sell her off for marriage, her adopted family refused their requests.

While growing up, she had a crush on a young Uchiha boy -- two years younger than her -- by the name of Uchiha Rin. As the two got older, the two started to be in a relationship. The two faced a lot of harassment for being in a star-crossed relationship with one another.

### Adulthood

Upon reaching the age of adulthood, the two eloped with one another. She brought Rin to meet her adopted parents with indifference. Even if her adopted family loved her, they disapproved of their marriage. They didn't harass Rin for being an Uchiha, but they would constantly keep a close eye on him. This, however, wasn't the same reaction when she would meet Rin's father. She was verbally abused and verbally assaulted. Rin's father were very opposed to him marrying a Senju, still holding the blood feud with the clan.

Living on their own proved quite difficult, given their star-crossed marriage, so she pleaded to live in the Hyuga Clan house with her adopted family, one of the Branch Houses of the Hyuga Clan. After enough pleading, both her and Rin were allowed to live in the house. Not long after, the Branch House was tasked with housing a small delegation from the Uzumaki Clan. In order to earn their keep, it would be Misato's and Rin's job to be their guide of the Fire Citadel. As luck would have it, one of the Uzumaki delegates was around the same age as Misato and Rin. The two escorted the delegates around the Fire Citadel but took a great liking to the youngest one in the group. After their job at escorting the delegates, they would hang out with the youngest member: Uzumaki Kari. After a few drinks and sharing stories, they became great friends, hanging out every night during their stay. The delegation felt they had a lovely time in the Fire Citadel and left with good feelings -- even if the delegation didn't seem to trust the elderly Daimyo.

Having earned their keep, they were allowed to stay at the estate. The two lived a relatively quiet life until the new Daimyo came into power; her estranged half-sister became the next Daimyo. She knew that Sakura was her half-sister, the one that remained in the noble family, and felt a chill crawl up her spine. She tried to give Sakura the benefit of the doubt until she started her purge on the Uchiha Clan. Disliking this, she started to help hide Uchiha, ensuring their safety and lead several riots against Sakura. During the final riot, she made her way into the Daimyo tower and assassinated her half-sister, bringing an end to her ethnic cleansing. She protested the idea of having yet another terrifying Daimyo take office. She realized the proficiency of the shinobi that helped her in the riots and decided to turn the Fire Citadel into the capital of the shinobi world. Thus the founding of Konohagakure had occurred with Misato and Rin as the founders. At the age of 32, she was declared to become the First Hokage.

### Time as the First Hokage

Declared as the First Hokage, Misato took charge and began running the first Shinobi hidden village. She ran the village fairly, putting those combatants to work with combat missions and those that wished to heal the ability to heal. After a couple years of pure success with their shinobi's work, word started to spread throughout the Fire Country and throughout the rest of the world with Shinobi Villages popping up in other countries. People from far out; from Fire Country and beyond, would come to Konohagakure to enlist the services of the shinobi. This popularity encouraged her to seek out more shinobi. While the population living in the now-known Konohagakure operated as normal families, she realized that children could volunteer to become shinobi and thus the first Shinobi Academy was set up.

Several years have passed and she, once again, would host delegates from across the shinobi world. The delegates were high ranking shinobi from various other countries that wished to gain inspiration from Misato's work as the Hokage. She showed them around and once again encountered someone from the past: Uzumaki Kari. Agreeing to house the Uzumaki Clan in Konohagakure, the village became the new home to the clan after a malady struck their lands.

Thoughts of war never occurred to her until signs of aggression were showing from Sunagakure. They had already absorbed Rain Country, using them as slave labor to bring fresh water into the parched country, which changed their borders to directly butting up against the Fire Country. However, in the year 7 of the Shinobi Era, Misato was assassinated by a Sand Shinobi. To mark the founding of Konoha and everyone's adoration for her, the statues at the Valley of the End were created in her and Rin's honor. She died at the age of 39.
