Umei

Cursed - Many a people do not believe in curses but hey are naive, curses are all to real and Umei's family is evidence of this. The curse running across the family is that of single birth, the origin of the curse is unknown but it is still there. The curse has already taken it's toll upon Umei with the loss of her elder brother, her first born child, husband each in their own way and the completely unrelated still birth of her second child. It is fair to say she is cursed as like her mother for every child she has, the one born previous of it will pass in an untimely fashion with no obvious markers. This curse has caused Umei to lose near anything she held dear and from the sheltered life she received it caused her to mentally break, it will take a while but as time passes shard by shard is restoring her to her former persona.

Self Sufficient - From the time Umei was a child upwards she has been nothing but happy. She was raised in a good stable home and knew from a young age she couldn't have anything she wanted without earning it. As such she made herself a reputation at a young age collecting flowers, growing them, selling them and then growing some more. With her money left over she would put it away saving from a young age for a proper education. It is this wise cash flow control which helped Umei with her business in the future, the business which would become her own main income.

Sheltered - Her upbringing had taught her to be self sufficient but as such a happy go lucky and innocent child whom was born to a cursed family she was sheltered. The mother and father knew what is was to lose a child once before and refused to allow the same fate to become her. Due to this she was never allowed ninja life no matter how she craved it. This constant sheltering in life forced upon her, gave her mind a fragile and easy to break state locked around the woman which came out at the loss of her family. The woman who came out was one of a broken mind and heart with at first little control but after the maddened ramblings of her life began to stitch back together it was too late. She was deemed an outcast and cast aside from the village as one cursed and beyond help.

Cast Aside - Being deemed an outcast from the mental trauma she received life didn't get much better. As an outcast she went mad and began conversing wit anything and anything she could find, it didn't take long for her to befriend the cockroaches. These cockroaches made the out casting even worse, the supposedly vile creatures were a sign of her madness and along with the out casting of madness her creatures got her banished from her town. It was from this banishment which she made her way over to the land of sound, and here were her personality began to recover and develop. This doesn't mean she still doesn't have her odd quirks though, there are times when she feels like she is being watched or followed or honestly like an insane lady who believes she has been abducted etc.

Caring - As the days in her life passed the shattered pieces began fitting back together. Every moment a slither of the glass which made her persona began fitting back. Piece by piece like a puzzle each mirror slot would fit and the craziness would leave while getting replaced by her old caring attitude. The love and care which should have been placed towards her child began to return and her care towards the people around her returned. With time she crept back towards civilization, finding the hidden sound village was an accident but with her skills she was swiftly taken into the village. Although she wasn't native to the land or the village there were a few people which would accept her, others still classed her as an outcast for her roaches but with all that her caring and gentle side would remain and arise bit by bit.

Umei is a thing of beauty, overall she is of average height and weight with a body that is neither toned nor over weight. Other than the beauty of her face she is average in many ways, out of all her body though there are a few things which make up a beauty like few others.

Eyes - Umei's eyes are incredibly special, they may not be uchiha, onigami or hyuuga but they are still just as rare. These green eyes are like emeralds implanted into two pearl spheres. The glistening beauty of these pearls are little in comparison to the beauty they perceive. Along with her family curse she also obtained something she cannot properly understand. Umei calls it 'The Sight of Sound', the eyes pick up and reflect what others may not see. Every noise and word can give off a color, the more intense the noise the brighter and louder the color is. Although this is perceived by the brain she allows it to reflect through her eyes and if someone talks and looks directly at the reflection within her eyes it can sometimes be seen.

Hair - The metalic platinum hair which sits upon her head and trails down her body has not been cut in many a year. Dropping down at the back of her knees this mane of hair flicks and flies off in wind blow spikes while keeping a solid mass at the core. On the top of the hair a bundle about two to three inches long is collected together and lifted allowing a small gap before being folded back down and tied into place with a strip of black ribbon. The hair flowing from the back of the ribbon meshes into the rest of the gentle wind blown hair spikes cascading down her back. Her fringe is layered into a couple of smaller points overlapping one another making a slight chris cross upon her forehead while just below her neck two strips of hair about fifty cm long rests crossing at the bottom.

Complexion - Umei has a rather pale complexion, the fair skin can be easily burnt if out in the sun for too long but this isn't normally an issue as she tends to keep to rural areas and inside buildings for comfort. The skin sits upon a mainly healthy body with out any large scarring or marks other than a single tattoo on her lower back. Her complexion is clear otherwise, she has no moles upon her body nor any other anomalies which she is grateful for as her skin can be incredibly sensitive to cosmetics. The skin tone, although she is unaware of it, is one of the things tying her to her blood clan as like her, the rest of the clan is often fair skinned and pale.

Outfit - There are two main colors in Umei's outfit, one being a mat platinum silver the other being a mat black. These two colors will be seen everywhere on her outfit from her top down to the shoes. Her top and material used for her bottoms are the same article of clothing, after putting the short bottoms on you pull the cloth up and around the arms putting them on. Once they are in the white piece of cloth hooks onto the inside of the black while the black hooks onto the outside of the white part. On top of the top is a piece of netting, the same type of netting which is beneath her shorts blowing down into the matt silver, open toed boots.

I.D Marks - On her body, as mentioned earlier are two subtle identifying marks. The first being a small tribal tattoo on the small of her back and the other being the reason she lost her second child. On her stomach near the womb is scar from when a stray kunai during a war struck her stomach nearly piercing the womb. The force from the kunai severed the umbilical chord from her the inside without Umei's knowing causing the still birth of her second child.

Born into the land of kusanokuni, Umei was the second and last child of her family. As mentioned previously during the detail section there was a curse upon the family which carries through all the female members. The curse that should they ever bare more than one child the moment the newest child leaves the womb the first shall die. This was the case for Umei's older brother as on the day of her birth the life force from her brother left him causing him to collapse into a deathly coma. From this moment on the self sufficient yet sheltered life of this young lady began. Up until the age of five she was not allowed out of the house but while still within the house she learnt how to help her mother with some of the chores.

At the age of five she was taken out of the house and off the grounds for the first proper time in her life, she would walk and skip around while her parents eyed around carefully. Umei was the last child they would be capable of conceiving and they were determined to keep her safe, their constant rules and supervision would begin to create a self sufficient girl on the outside while all the rebellion and secrecy began to well up inside. It was this secrecy and rebellion which would spring forth in future years when her own losses would occur. Umei would be age ten when she first clasped eyes on the person who would become her husband. Going around the fields in the land of grass with her father secretly following her Umei would begin to pluck the flowers pricking her finger on a thorn now and again.

A sudden flinch from the thorn and her father sprung forth from the shadows examining what had happened to her, seeing nothing was wrong he would still take her back home anyway and from here Umei learnt not to flinch at pain. Years would pass and Umei began to get closer to the man she met and began falling in love with, her parents had laid off the slack in this time seeing their child was no longer a child. Being the age of sixteen at the time marriage was legal for non ninja in the land but her parents would refuse to allow her marriage until the age of twenty five. This was also the law of the time and on the year of her twenty fifth birthday the marriage would occur. It was a typical white wedding with doves flying around, red petals and all else which could be considered typical.

The honey moon is where life began to change however, Umei fell pregnant on the first night and just over nine months later their son would be born. Times had been hard in the business world as a war going on just across the land caused people to stop spending but being smart enough to store money away the pair would withstand the war longer than many other people. Another night would arrive where Umei fell pregnant again, twas from this moment her son of age one began falling ill. Six months into the pregnancy the war would arrive at their village, kunai and explosions were everywhere and it was with little surprise that Umei got struck. The blow didn't kill or maim the child directly in anyway but it cause the premature cutting of the umbilical chord causing the child to die within the womb.

Unknowing of what occurred the pair would run from the war with their weakening son held firm. In the sanctuary of a hidden town beneath a mountain the pair continued their lives. The money the pair had saved had been bought with them and helped them get by for the ongoing months. At the time of the birth the still born child's body would enter the world while simultaneously drawing the essence of their son out with them. Tears would flow from the pairs eyes landing them both in depression but it was during this the husbands true colors showed. Blaming Umei he struck her to the ground cursing her for the loss of their daughter and blaming her for the loss of their son too. Unbeknownst to the pair it was actually Umei's ancestors fault but it would be too late.

Upon regaining consciousness Umei found herself alone in her home, no money and very few possessions left. There was not even a note left to her but from what she remembered she was alone. Checking her finger the two rings given to her by her now former husband were missing, the engagement and wedding rings had been taken. Crazed by grief her mind began to crack. At first it was acceptable and people made allowances but it constantly got worse to the point where she was thrown out. The people couldn't handle it and she was becoming a danger to herself and the people around. From the banishment she began to wander the lands gaining friends with the un friendable and as her mind began to repair itself knowledge she had seen before began to accumulate. Her chakra system began unlocking and so did the bloodline powers. The power she always had but now it was noticeable, the colors began to dance in her vision and this somehow returned a calmness to her.

Her wanderings would eventually cease as she came across the hidden sound village were she would be taken in as a ninja. With her blattaria friends she would not be accepted by many however other insect clans would happily take in the mentally wounded female aiding her get better day by day. At the current time her mind was 75% restored and will mostly act normal but the odd quirks still remained.
