## Appearance

*Kumiko Hōzuki as fair skin, bright yellow eyes and short blonde hair. The attire she wears differs depending on the situations however one thing always remained, her black bow. Kumiko usually wears a white and light blue Taisho-style Kimono and a black scarf wrapped around her neck. The only noticeable difference between usual Kimonos and the one Kumiko wears is Kumiko's is significantly shorter. This is a strategic advantage for easy use of her legs and better mobility. Her katana is usually visible at her side, plastered to her left hip.*

One rare occurrences we see Kumiko wearing a white and red Taisho-style Kimono that consists of a Hakama and long leather boots. This outfit is more "Lady Like" as her mother puts it, thus only ever worn when certain situations are met. However the circumstances required to get the girl into are unknown almost everyone except Kumiko herself.

## Personality

*Kumiko is very tomboyish and typically loathes doing things that are considered popular. Despite being too straightforward at times and speaking her mind and giving her opinions, she cares deeply about how others think of her, and tries to keep as much inside as she can, only letting herself talk freely around those she is most comfortable with. While she gains confidence and strength as she gets older, she maintains parts of her sensitive nature, holding in intense guilt when misfortune falls upon those she cares about, even if she isn't to blame. Kumiko can be quite observant, picking up on things others miss and retaining information casually gathered through conversation, and is especially empathetic and generous. As a friend and sister, she is fiercely loyal to a fault, being quick to put herself in harm's way despite the consequences, if it would protect those she cares about.*

In other words, to those who don't know Kumiko, she would seem as a cold-hearten girl without emotions. However to those who have earned her trust, she seems very goofy, kind-hearted individual who would quickly put her life on the line for those she cares about. Someone would know they earned Kumiko's trust when she reveals her full name, being: Kumiko Rei-Hōzuki.

## History

The Heiki Clan (兵器一族, Heiki Ichizoku) is a clan of weapon specialists from the Hidden Stone. The clan goes back for the beginning of the village, where the first Tsuchikage was introduced. The founder of the clan, Hikoru Heiki, was actually a close handed guard to the Tsuchikage, meaning that their clan held a great role within the village for a while. Fighting along side the leader of the village, the Heiki Clan was known more of their skills rather than their close relations to the Kage. Throughout the years, the clan began to grow, allowing more weapon users to bloom into the world. Hikoru's wife, Nizuto, was a normal kunoichi, but coming into the clan she was able to master her weapon and use it more proficient. Traveling shinobi came from all around to join the clan, while some were born from the blood. Within time, the clan was the most diverse of any, making it different and otherwise powerful.

However, after being convicted of murder and stealing secrets from the Tsuchikage. The founder of the Heiki's clans brother, Renshiki Heiki flees the Hidden Stone village in search of refuge. One the run, Renshiki accidentally wandered into the Hidden Mist Village after 5 days of wandering. The shinobi collapsed onto the road due to exhaustion, and after an hour a woman discovered his body. She realized the man had no visible obligations to any village and thus took the man into her house nearby to rest. After 2 days, Renshiki awoke startled and instantly drew his scythe on instant. The woman introduced herself as Aoi Hōzuki and gaven Ren information about what happened so far. Renshiki calmed down and decided to trust Aoi until he was fully healed.

2 Years later~ Renshiki and Aoi were married and a baby was conceived. That baby was known as Kumiko Rei-Hōzuki!

## Backstory - Past to Present

### Early Life

Our story starts when she was 3 years of age. She just learned how to walk and was having some difficulty but this process wasn't to be rushed. Even her mother, the current Mizukage had deemed this moment important and took a leave of absence from the office for the day. At this point, Renshiki had just returned home from a meeting with his older brother. The crimes Ren was accused of committing had be sorted out and was allowed to come back to Iwagakure however now having a family, Renshiki stayed in Kiri. Anyway, the days after Kumiko's first steps were eventful. Mizukage Aoi kept Kumiko in the Kage Office as she worked, occasionally playing with her child when Aoi got the chance to. The walking process though was difficult, and thus took a few days but eventually Kumiko was able to walk with relative ease. When important meetings were being held, Aoi's Advisor: Ichigo Momochi took care of Kumiko until her parents returned. The 5th birthday was special for Kumiko manipulated a water droplet to stay in the air for a considerable amount of time. Renshiki, Aoi, and Ichigo all decided it was time to plan Kumiko's future as a shinobi. Aoi was weary of the idea, but allowed the enrollment to the Kirigakure Academy when Kumiko turned 8. Until that time however, the girl's father taught her the basic understanding of chakra, what it is and how it works. After understanding what chakra is, Renshiki then taught his daughter the basis of shinobi techniques including **Hiding in Mist Technique**. After learning the technique, Aoi smiled and thought it be better to teach Kumiko the basic Taijutsu despite her better judgement. This continued for 2 years, Kumiko now understanding the basis of Taijutsu, Bukijutsu, shurikenjutsu, and ninjutsu. And now it was time to be enrolled into the academy!

### Academy Student

Kumiko Hōzuki turned 8 years old and entered the academy as a new student.

## Combat Style

*What kind style of fighting does your shinobi prefer? Are they a powerhouse like Choji, or a ninjutsu user like Kakashi? Do focus on shurikenjutsu techniques, or do they prefer Genjutsu? Try to describe your character's combat style as well as you can, and keep in mind that this is something that can constantly evolve as your character levels up.*
