Born to a now pain killer addicted, hair-stylist of a mother along with a rather flamboyant clothing designer of a father, Berii is always well put together, whether she likes it or not. Her parents' strong personalities have more or less developed a quiet, non-intrusive child.
Feeling her parents unintentionally made her life a joke, she is set out to become a revered shinobi in order to prove that she is more than their little 'Sugar Coated Berii-chan'
Named Berii from an alternate term for fruit used by a foreigner Berii's parents met years ago, they had goals of making their child the cutest in all of history. As Berii grew she would be tossed into costume after costume, bathed in wild berry scented soap and even sprayed with said scent to fit her 'theme'. Smothered by her parents' love, it's surprising she grew up to be 'normal'.
She had become quite popular in school because of her adorable get-ups and what not and didn't find it hard to come by friends but their vain reasons for befriending her tended to disappoint the child.
Berii felt a need for respect and decided to train harder during her Academy days, she wasn't a protege though, her hard work would pay off to attain high marks in class and have no difficulty actually graduating.
Personality
Berii tends to be well mannered, she wont go out of her way to bother anyone unless she deems it truly important or if they're a friend/relative where she feels obligated to at least say hello. People are usually addressed by their family name with a fitting honorific while fellow clan members are referred to as cousin, aunt or, uncle.
It will usually take a lot to truly anger her, there is one exception though… Almost anyone pointlessly babying her tends to quickly be disliked, she won't outwardly show this dislike on a first offense but continued offense may not bode well for the baby-er. The true issue with this, she's so paranoid about being babied, any little thing she could remotely perceive as them belittling her is taken offense to.
Berii also has odd speech quirks. The first and most obvious being her speech impediment due to her jaw structure and how her teeth have grown in. Another addition seems to just be a vocal ticks, the child tends to add Neh when questioning and Aye when excited. Though the most common addition would be a short and sharp 'Hnn' sound. Unlike her lisp, she does not actually notice she's adding these sounds most of the time and most don't even question it.
Appearance
A fresh face in the ninja world, the thin and pale child shows nothing but inexperience. The only thing hinting towards her being of the Uchiha clan being her onyx eyes lacking determination or hardship like most Uchiha, in fact her eyes don't really show much of anything within, otherwise her usual dolled up appearance distracts from her heritage tending to make it difficult to take her seriously.
The most notable portion of her appearance would be her VERY long pink hair, usually hitting the ground if not pulled up despite hitting the 5' mark, right on the dot. Thin eyebrows tend to be hidden away by her bangs, her brow set in a way that unintentionally makes her appear serious while her jaw structure and lightly puffed cheeks create a pout effect when she's not attempting any other emotion. Her appearance can easily be called cute by most and it is nigh impossible for her to truly appear intimidating by herself.
A black clothed Konohagakure forehead protector can usually be found in its proper place.
An odd mix of this years and one of last year's graduating classes. If you count the dogs, this team has a massive six members. There appears to be a bit of chemistry among the group, at least no one seems to flat out hate another!

Notes
Atsuro
Sensei
This guy originally seemed like an unnecessarily grumpy man though, Berii has grown to take a liking to his straightforward attitude quickly. It gets things done quickly and it feels good to not be babied into things like many have done to her in the past.
Hitoshi
Boyfriend
Berii has been friends with him for quite a bit of time before the team's formation. He's a good friend, his presence allowing her to be more comfortable around the team in general. Secretly jealous of him since his progress through the Chuunin Exams, she tries to look past that jealousy since she does like him a lot.
Taiki
Team
Taiki is the human companion of the Inuzuka duo but, well Berii doesn't appear to be nearly as attached to him as she is Shinobu. Not that she dislikes the boy in any way but, Taiki's complex lifestyle makes him strange to approach in a friendly manner, Berii being constantly told by her own clan to stay out of another clan's business had led her to pull away even more from Taiki's issues.
Although they are her comrades, it doesn't necessarily mean she likes them.

Notes
Tosai
Superior
Although Tosai seems kind enough, maybe even too kind, he does seem to treat her like a child(Even though she is one and is only a genin). This has caused her to have a little dislike for the giant.
Nao
Superior
Another undetermined relationship, Berii does see the woman as a superior despite both of them being a Genin.
Katashi
Clan/Friend?
He gave her his lucky kunai when they first met, a gift that she's holding close.
Daisuke
Superior
Daisuke was apparently a fan of Berii being a fan of his ability. That or he is just being a responsible Chuunin and teaching the younger generation. As much as Berii would want to call him a friend, his age and rank makes it difficult.
Etsu
Comrade/Friend?
Etsu is sort of a jerk, it is evident when she speaks to other people. Though Berii has not noticed any of that attitude from Etsu directed at Berii herself, which makes it much easier to like the odd Aburame girl. Not to mention she secretly finds Etsu's antics hilarious.
Ryo
Clan
A younger cousin that Berii seems to bump into a lot, he appears to be talented but, too ambitious. He seems to be growing too fast in Berii's eyes or, maybe she's just jealous he's advancing faster than she did. While Berii continues to stay ahead of the boy, he seems to have some goal in passing her. Whether he likes the be more powerful than others or specifically Berii, she doesn't really know. But, she doesn't really pay it any mind.
Fuyu
Clan's Head
Berii has not met this woman at all, and doesn't really want to. While Berii's parents give the woman nothing but, praise others usually bring up the terrifying things she is capable of. Though, the same reason that makes Berii fear her, also draws her towards her… the question is bringing up the courage to speak to her.

Notes
Tsiro
Rival?
Her first legitimate opponent in the war, first legitimate enemy ever actually. Despite beating him with the aid of Naru, she looks forward to fighting him one on one.
Meruin
Enemy
Berii is more or less terrified of this boy, he managed to hold off a Uchiha and Genin without a scratch and was apparently holding back. Not to mention the freaky transformation he used before he left… she doesn't want to see this particular Kirigakure ninja again.
Sekisetsu
Enemy/Friend?
One of the few Kirigakure ninja that didn't try to cut her within a few seconds of realizing Berii was there. In fact they had gotten comfortable around each other quickly, Sekisetsu's fascination with things burning was slightly off putting but, this issue has been subdued by her better qualities. Berii wants to be friends with the girl but, they are technically enemies.

Timeline
Age 8 - Enrolled in the Academy
Age 11 - Learned the Great Fireball Technique
Age 12 - Promoted to Genin
Age 12 - Kiri-Konoha War
Age 12 - Team 10 forms
Kiri-Konoha War Arc - In the beginning of Berii's Ninja Chronicles, Berii had begun settling into the new life of being a Konohagakure Genin. Despite Kirigakure and Konohagakure being at war during her graduation, she managed to become a full fledged Genin during the more 'peaceful' part of the war. Giving her a chance to live life as normal as a ninja could for a while
Her first encounter being a giant of a man and a nearly grown woman of a Genin. Known as Tosai and Nao respectively, neither of them had been met before leaving Berii to attempt covering up her terrible speech impediment. Eventually that plan fell apart, though she did enjoy being in the company of the two as Tosai shared some previously caught fish.
Among those two, Berii met with several others, one being Katashi who had given her his 'lucky' kunai after the girl questioned her abilities. A strange mixture of feelings caused her to run off and leave Katashi behind. Basic D-rank missions would continue and she'd begin questioning to life of a ninja.
The meeting between Berii, Nao, and Tosai had been semi-important as later on the three found themselves combined in a C-rank mission. The three man cell split up, leaving Tosai to his own business while the Genin ventured and looked for anything suspicious. Their search would lead them to what appeared to be an enemy puppeteer. Unaware that puppeteer ninja even existed Berii had to get over a moment of shock and confusion before combining her forces with Nao to defeat the man. As she closed in to finish the attack, she was taken under a hail of items knocking her out and removing her from the combat equation.
The injuries sustained left her in the hospital for quite a bit, though mostly cuts and bruises, she was up and running within a few days.
Kiri-Konoha War Re-ignited - With trade being cut off from many nations and Kirigakure's approach to Konohagakure being imminent, Berii was sent out with a scouting team to ensure Kirigakure or any enemy shinobi for that matter, had broken beyond the projected lines. The group encounters Okumo Meruin and Kaguya Tsiro. Despite the battle being 4 on 2 the Kirigakure ninja managed to hold their own against Konoha, resulting in only a slight victory for Konohagakure, forcing a retreat.
Berii has taken part in a few inter-mission villages to aid the war, simply moving gear from place to place and things like that. Though she had taken part in a capture of a Kirigakure shinobi, that ninja later managed to escape with the aid of Onimitsu, leaving her decently injured.
After a few hard won and easily lost missions, Berii came out of the war with much more hospital visits than notes of heroism. All in all, she did well for a fresh Genin who shouldn't even really been taking a part in all of this.
Team 10 - With the war starting to sizzle down and the formation of her first team, Berii didn't really have a chance for a break. Right off the bat she was the odd one out. Obviously she is the only kunoichi among them, though she is also the only one who doesn't need to get their mouth scrubbed out with soap every two seconds. Alone, Berii stands out simply because the bright colors she tots around but, now she sort of fades to the background while she lets her somewhat more obnoxious companions handle things.
The First Chuunin Exams
While Berii herself has nothing to do with the exams, nor does a majority of Team 10 in fact, have anything to do with it. One member did secretly sign up. In a fluster of confused emotions, Berii ended up storming into Hitoshi's home when finding out he entered the tournament. While not in typical Uchiha fashion, Berii's Sharingan emerged through the painful thought of not only losing a friend but, being so close to the possibility of losing a friend without being aware they were even gone. It was her first time experiencing emotions at this level, the emotional peak only made even more special by the releasing of her Sharingan.
Abilities
Academy
Berii's highest marks were in ninjutsu, as expected of her clan. Where she would truly shine would be in weapon techniques. Even though her strength was lacking her accuracy was rather deadly.
Genin
Sticking to what she was talented in has allowed her to come along nicely as a Genin. Something has changed now that she was more open in her training, taking lessons from everyone who offered.
Undoubtedly she is an impressively fast learner when it comes to jutsu. While she isn't entirely the brightest in the bunch, the girl obviously has a talent for being a ninja.
** 5 A.F September 17th-30th**
Her first C-rank mission led to an obvious lack in her own physical prowess, she lacked the muscle for durability and the ability to cause harm. After recovery she has engaged in muscle building exercises and working on her taijutsu footing and strikes.
Progress - Stamina, Power, Tai increase
October 1st-31st
With her taijutsu training feeling at its pinnacle without the aid of an actual trainer, Berii returned back to focusing on Ninjutsu techniques. This has led to a natural increase in seal work while an abundance of combat related missions have risen up, making her an overall better ninja.
Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, Seal Increase
November 1st - December 31st
Berii's training had come to a halt as she went to pursue activities she found a bit more relaxing and enjoyable after the war died out. An injury she had obtained halted her work as a ninja for a good chunk of the month though only fueled her spirit for when she was back up on her feet.
January 1st - Now
Berii had hit a bit of a stopping point in her progression, while she is well off ninja for her time as a Genin, there has been a slow which is expected for someone reaching near Chuunin level. Physical training has slowed a bit as she takes on more studious forms of excelling as a ninja, studying strategy, looking more into map making and, expanding her knowledge on Scroll Calligraphy work.
Sep 04th-30th
Given her lack of fundamental physical ability, Berii has been seen training her body more than anything else during the Kiri-Konoha War. Though, a few have glimpsed her current training consisting of trick shots with her weaponry and the use of Ninja Wire. It appears tricks and tactics are currently being set to make up for her lack of physical strength.
Oct 1st-31st
Teachers have sort of just up and come by for the child, each one teaching her a new Ninjutsu technique and with her knack for Ninjutsu, she was quick to pick them all up. Learning a new Fire Technique from Daisuke, the Body Flicker Technique from her parents and, even learning Tree Walking through her new Sensei.
Progress - Fire Bullet Barrage, Body Flicker Technique, Tree Walking
Nov 1st-Dec 31st
Berii had sort of went a while without learning proper separate techniques of note. Most of this time has been lent to learning how to throw weapons in different ways and simply increase her technique and speed with strikes.
While she has not exactly trained for an technique specifically, her Sharingan has unlocked. The doujutsu had been growing within her emotional barriers, waiting to be released. After the breakthrough, two tomoe appeared instantly in her eye. A possible sign that there is more to Berii than she even knows herself.
Berii's new theme, despite curiosity and imagination being one of her strong points for continue her ninja career, enemies being made and new challenges being set has ignited a new flame in the child. The reality of the ninja career has hit her multiple times, very hard, to the point of hospitalization. Time may be short, so she's going to train as hard as possible not only to impress her parents but, simply to see herself burn as bright as she possibly can.
Berii's Alternate theme, with childish imagination still clinging to her mind she is ready to head into a new ninja world. She doesn't know what to truly expect but tales and magnificent adventures give her something exciting to look forward to.
