**Fumiko Akimochi** (ふみこ , *Fumiko*) is a shinobi of Konohagakure. Originally a Suna-nin, she was made into the Jinchuriki of the One-Tails at a young age. The powers that came with it caused her to be the target of jealousy of her older sister, who attempted to kill her. Later, Fumiko migrated to Konoha and integrated into its ranks.

## Background

Before Fumiko was born, her mother, Sumire Akimochi, the soul monarch of the Akimochi clan, believed along with the rest of her clan that females were relatively weak compared to the men in the clan. After the death of Fumiko’s father, her view had suddenly changed. Sumire went from believing that men were superior, to now thinking that a woman could be just as strong and even stronger. Not long after the death of Fumiko’s father, Fumi was born. Despite being born in Takigakure, the Village Hidden in the waterfall, she was raised and grew up in the village of Sunagakure.

Due to a sudden and chaotic incident, the one tailed beast Shukaku was unleashed on the village of Sunagakure, the Kazekage at the time needed to seal the one tailed beast immediately before any more damage was caused. Sumire, who wanted to jump in to help, offered her daughter, knowing she would be strong enough. After the sealing of the beast, Fumiko was from then on heavily observed by her mother to make sure she would never lose control of herself. Early during her life, Fumiko was taught ninjutsu alongside her older sister, thought Fumiko excelled much faster than her. Due to Fumi’s rapid excellment her sister grew jealous and when Fumi was eight, her sister one day tried to kill her during their ninjutsu training session. Her sisters actions caused a great uproar among the clan, some said she should have been punished while others said she should have been stripped of her Akimochi title but in the end, it was all up to Sumire who decided that the best decision was to separate Fumiko from her older sister for some time before the situation worsened. While the two sisters spent their time apart, Fumiko was taken care of by a host mother within the Akimochi clan. During her academy years, Fumiko spent her time focusing on her training such as taijutsu, ninjutsu and learning to control Shukaku It took her quite some time but the young girl had befriended the beast, seeing it as her only friend at the time of loneliness, a feeling she had developed after being shunned by her own sister and mother. For a long while, she thought of Shukaku as her only company.

Because her clan is composed of 90% women, she had little to no knowledge of what males were until the age of fourteen. Fumiko assumed throughout her whole childhood that everyone around her was female. Despite seeming like a mature young lady she lacked quite a bit socially when making friends with boys, she would always add ‘chan’ to their names which would either annoy or piss them off greatly. She had some trouble when it came to making friends but when it came to the opposite gender, some might say that it was quite possibly even worse. Her lack of social grace with kids her age could have been due to the fact the every kid knew who Fumi’s mother was and didn’t want to run the risk of being crushed by the giant gorilla of a woman. Her lack of friends only further sparked the loneliness inside her but that never got to her and never stopped her from envying those who had friends. Fumiko trained her hardest throughout her academy years, thinking she didn’t seem to need to be social in order to be the best kunoichi in Suna.

Fumiko knew little to nothing about her father, who passed away when she was but a baby. Other than his name and stories her clan members whisper behind her back, she knew nothing about the mysterious man. She remembers from a young age women from her clan would say that her father was nothing but a conniving thief that only cared for himself. It’s unknown if this is true or not but after his death, men were rarely accepted into their clan unless born into or had some sort of permission from Fumiko’s mother Sumire, a woman who became very strong independent woman after his passing. It is unknown why the once delicate and beautiful woman decided to train hardcore after his death but it is know that now she is the strongest woman in the clan with an iron grip handshake and a glare that would intimidate any jounin or ANBU.

Despite the few small problems she faced as a child, Fumiko wasn’t upset that she had no one to befriend, she was upset that she was never as close to her mother as she would like to be, not even after her older sister went rogue. Nothing ever seemed to meet Sumire’s expectations anymore after her sister was gone, it was as if Sumire somehow became much more strict with her youngest daughter. Because of how strict Sumire had turned after her oldest daughter left, it cause a thick tension between her and Fumiko, leaving them almost like strangers. Though Fumiko’s sister was gone, she refused to come home with her mother and stayed with her host mother instead, seeing her better fit than Sumire was.

## Personality

Fumiko is a self-sufficient, reliable and caring girl. For that reason she is seen as an older sister to everyone despite being the same age as most of her friends. She is a very determined person, willing to break through any obstacles that are in her way. Her mother sees her as a person that makes everyone around "conform to her pace". Though she mostly tries to behave like an adult, she has little to no common knowledge that most people would know when being faced with a social situation. Because Fumiko was kept away from men and boys in general, she assumes everyone is female and has never seen a dick. She is fond of things or people she considers to be cute, such as several of her friends summons and even her own. Fumiko can be seen to be totally fearless which makes people wonder if there is anything that can decompose her. It is known that Fumiko is very protective of her friends and if someone pisses her off, she gets enraged and drops any doubt about hurting a person if he or she is the cause of her anger.
