Rie Yukimura

Extra Info
Name: Rie Yukimura (REE-ah Yoo-kee-MUHR-ah) (Rie translates to "Clever/Bright child" and Yukimura translates to "Snowy-village")

Village/Country: The Village Hidden in the Mist, in the Water Country.

Birthdate: September 22nd.

Color: Green-aqua.

Food/drink: Anything with coffee in it. Mochas are sugoi! She likes anything bitter and/or sweet. Extremely spicy and sour things are a no-no.

Hobby/pastime: Anything having to do with being in/on/by a body of water. It doesn't matter what the activity is, whether it be training, playing, or studying. Boating is a good one.

Saying: "You can depend on the rabbit's foot, but just remember that it didn't work for the rabbit."

Animal: Surprisingly, reptiles, especially snakes. Later, she learns to summon certain snakes, and befriends a dark brown-green Tokarahabu Summoning snake which she promptly dubbed "Fuyukimaru," "Fuyuki" meaning "Snowy-winter." (She claims that it matches her last name.) He developed a nickname as well: "Fuyu," which simply means "Winter."

Element(s): Ironically, Water. The second Element, yet to be discovered by her, is even more ironically Fire. ==Character ==

Appearance
Rie Yukimura is a rather short girl, about 4"06 at age thirteen. Her body remains like that of a child; not especially curved, and flat-chested. She has a light-pinkish skin complexion, with nearly-permanently pinked cheeks. Her hair is a dark cherry-brown, and completely straight, barely reaching her shoulders. Her large eyes are rounded (like Naruto's) but slightly slanted downward, with large pupils and very light brown-orange irises. Her nose is higher rather than lower by the the lips, and her jaw is rounded, making her look one or two years younger than she really is. Her bottom lip is a bit bloated, her eyebrows arch up a little (the inward ends, not the middle of the eyebrows), and her hands and feet are rather small. Although still clumsy with things such as weight-lifting, the certain various muscles in her arms and legs are well-trained due to her frequent swimming episodes.

Personality
A good trait in her personality is her ability to think before taking action. Another good trait is her abundance of self-control (which does not influence her coffee addiction). However, she is also naive and sometimes just plain dumb when it comes to who and what to trust, often making her a sitting duck. She's also easily fascinated, and becomes rather annoying when she drinks too much coffee and becomes hyper. She represents a follower who wants to become a leader; she attempts to order her male teammates around once in a while, but epically fails each time (Fuyu is amused by this). She has a breaking point - when anybody blatantly ignores her, she gets irritated and/or angry. When this happens in a battle, she can make mistakes by directly attacking the guilty enem(ies) or arguing with (and focusing all her attention on) her guilty teammate(s).

Like her surname and swimming hobby suggest, she prefers cooler enviroments. As a child, she attended an annual boatride/hike to a snowy, hilly island next to the main island to stay for a month in a hotspring resort for a family gathering and snowman competition, which concluded in her love for snow and ice.
