Shunned for her weakness during the Clan Wars, and self-exiled for the blood on her hands afterwards, Ariya has wandered in search of a home. Not just a house and a door, but a place where she really belongs. Never having found that place, Ariya is happy with her current lifestyle of completing missions and beating-people-up-for-hire. Her friends know her best as a stalwart ally, while her enemies have seen her in style. She has armor and weaponry unlike any other warrior, and a personality to match. Never one to untie a knot when she can cut it in two, Ariya is one of those types who'll always carry the War on her back, and a sword in her hand.

Background

+ Show background

Ariya was known as a weak link, and a source of constant shame for her parents. Even among the Murasame her family was considered strong, and as a weakling Ariya was constantly denied the love of not only her parents but the contempt of her brother. He was her principle tormentor, and one who drove her to a desperate decision that would change her life forever.

They were at war with the clans, and the Murasame were having trouble with a group of yakuza run by a genius shinobi. Their leader had turned the group of bandits into guerilla warriors, striking from everywhere and then melting back into the shadows. So the Murasame elders devised a plan which revolved around a shinobi as deprived as Ariya. They told her to pretend she’d left the village, kicked out on account of her weakness, and join the bandits. There, if she successfully assassinated the bandit leader she’d be welcomed back with open arms.

And thus began Ariya’s life down a road of hell and loss. The bandits deciphered right away the real reason she’d come, but the leader decided to let her live. For years she lived with them, helped them, and trained with them. But in the end when the treacherous battle between the bandits and the Murasame came, Ariya couldn’t decide who to help, and a deep darkness was unlocked within her.

The Murasame eventually won, and she was allowed back into the clan. But things weren’t the same. She’d never look on either the bandits or the Murasame as her true family, but she couldn’t hate them either. She had to find some answers. She had to find her place in the world. And she’s being wandering ever since.

Personality

Ariya lives by a moral code unlike any other, that doesn’t stop at breaking rules or breaking skulls. But when she does give her word it’s as good as gold. She never says something about someone she’s not willing to say to their face or on their face. Some would merely dismiss Ariya as a straightforward fighting fool. However, there’re layers to Ariya that most aren’t willing to try and delve into. Dark secrets hidden in her past that are darker than most. One thing is for sure. This is a woman that you want on your side.

Appearance

Ariya's expression and the trials she's been through make her seem taller and older than she first seems. She has red hair brushed back out of her face and held in place with a few pins. Her eyes are dark orbs that look out on a world filled with danger. She's not one for big smiles and laughter, but there's a hint of occasional warmth in her otherwise serious expression. She's not bad to look at, but that's beside the point.

Ariya has a curving body hidden under thick cloth and light armor with a breastplate and metal spaulders altered to fit her slender frame, but a skirt and leather boots that offer far less protection. Her hands are covered in long gloves patterned in metal plates, and discs around her knuckles. She gives the impression of a formidable yet feminine woman. A shinobi headband is tied tightly around her arm, with the kanji symbol for 'hanasu' engraved on it rather than any village allegiance.

3rd of July, 7 A.F. - Entry #01: Victory meal

I completed the mission I was paid for, and the villagers offered to treat me to a meal to celebrate my victory. That was nice of them. I learned now that they have THE BEST BACON AND EGGS FOR MILES. Rin says that she doesn't put anything in them, but I'm sure of it. I have a nose for these things, and I love food. People say I talk about food all too much, but eating is the proof you're alive, isn't it?

Now it's three days later, and I've tried almost everything they have to offer. I just had to stay and try some of the local cuisine. The leader of the village has been asking me to leave, and I I might have overstayed my welcome. But really I may never be able to come here again, and until I try everything I can't leave. I'll only regret it. P.S. Their grilled meat is really delicious here. P.P.S. And so are their peppers.

7th of July, 7 A.F. - Entry #02: In a pickle.

I wanted to buy some pickled vegetables at the time I met Ataru. He’s a candidate for Jump, and if I come with a trunk of baggage, he comes with a whole wagon. It should worry me but more importantly, this pickled ginger is delicious. I let them talk for awhile as I sampled the ginger, but I had to add my two cents. If he joined Jump, his problems were our problems. His fights were our fights, and what’s life without a good fight and some pickled vegetables?

Ataru seems nice enough, he’s straightforward like me. At least I hope so. Jump is asking a lot, for me to trust a huge horde of strangers. Well, I’ll keep an eye on him. And in the meantime I have another jar of pickled vegetables to pass the time. I really should have tried them sooner…
