iniki :: reference + bio

Edit: Info updates on her bio and personality, go check them out! Hopefully I managed to de-Sue-ify her a bit further. o u o ;;

I found this the other day on my backup disk. It's old, so I apologize for the crappyness. I finished it either way, since I really needed a decent reference of Iniki. Her design is crappy, too, since I created her after watching only a couple of episodes, but I won't change it since it has a lot of personal meaning. I mean, she was my very first OC <3

I hope you like her story <3

personality:

Iniki was rather energetic: she seemed to be everywhere at once, always joking around, and had a razor-sharp sense of humor. She’d stop at nothing to attain her goals, recurring to trickery if needed. She was street-smart and ruthless towards her enemies. Deep down, however, she had a tendency to feel lonely, as shown by her bond with Haruko, which was one of the very few relationships she developed with other people (she had no particular emotional bond to her teammates). She was mostly a selfish character, mainly working for her own survival.

skills

She fought best with senbon, although she had some skills with kunai. [The scars on her side were made by a senbon-wielding ninja, during her first mission. Other than this, little is known about her past, her team or her family.] Her strong suits were speed and agility; her main weaknesses were physical strength and strategy, as she usually acted on impulse, without having a safety plan.

history:

Iniki met Haruko during the chūnin exams, when Team Iniki was faking as a non-existent Amegakure team under the orders of one of Orochimaru’s minions. Both her teammates were killed during the preliminary combats but, seeing as Iniki was not really close to either of them and had her mind set on her own survival, she didn't mourn their loss for too long. At a certain point, she and Haruko became good friends. The latter even offered to convince Tsunade to allow her to stay at Konoha and begin a new life there. Iniki was tempted by this offer, but she ultimately felt that she would be safer in her own village, so she snuck out of Konoha overnight and returned to Otogakure.

Orochimaru’s minion, who had abducted Asuma Cell and was studying the Yamanaka's Mind-Body Switch Techniques, used Iniki as a test drive for his variation of the jutsu, in which no damage would be done to his body if Iniki suffered an injury. This version, however, was rushed due to Konoha's retrieval teams' sudden arrival, and so Iniki remained conscious all the while she was being controlled by him, even though most of the time she had little or no control over her body's actions. This jutsu seems to require a lot of concentration to master, as whenever his focus breached Iniki regained control over her body and was able to push him away gradually.

Regardless of this, the Sound minion entered the fight through Iniki's body, and managed to trap Haruko's team mate Akane (towards whom Iniki had a deep distaste) under a potentially lethal genjutsu. Haruko was forced to kill Iniki, who pushed his control away before he could defend them (Iniki and himself) from the oncoming attack and kill Haruko. Through her death, the Body Switch Jutsu was broken, causing severe mental damage to Orochimaru’s minion, who was later on killed by the back-up jonin team.
