Mitsuko Shiori

Mitsuko Shiori (詩織光子, Shiori Mitsuko) is the youngest of Momoe and Koshō Shiori's two daughters. Being the granddaughter of the head of the Shiori clan, it was expected that she become a successful kunoichi of Kirigakure and someday be promoted to Anbu. But Mitsuko proved herself to be of a quiet and shy disposition, thus leading to the disdain she received from her father. After her placement into Team Yuno, she tries her best to prove to her father that meekness is not a sign of cowardice, as Shin Akari advised her. Though Koshō still refuses to believe this, he admits that Mitsuko has become stronger after her promotion to chūnin. Ever since she was twelve, she has had feelings for Shin, but she never thought of telling him until his defection from Kiri.

Background
At the age of seven, Mitsuko lost her mother. Because of this, she spent much of her childhood years alone. Her father, Koshō, being the heir of the head of the clan, was often off on business. Her older sister, Suki, was nearly never seen in the Shiori clan compound, as she was undertaking traing to become a successful kunoichi and the future clan head.

Personality
Berfore the untimely death of her mother, Mitsuko was an energetic and mischievous child, always smiling and laughing. She was confident and naieve, but when her mother died she became quiet and unsure of herself. Asuna even once said that "she was quiet and meek as a lamb". She was afraid to defend herself, making her father believe her to be weak and cowardly. Mitsuko was raised believing that everyone was superior to her, so thus she always addressed people respectfully and never retorted anyone, even if they were clearly wrong. After meeting Shin Akari, she rapidly grows more mature and confident, something her father is confused by. Although she was afraid to mention this, she always wished during her childhood that her older sister would spend more time with her, something that made her envy others who had loving sisters. After Suki returned to the compound, Mitsuko finally smiled for the first time following her mother's death, for she hoped that her sister would recognize her for who she was, and not her ability. But her sister barely noticed her, only speaking to her when necessary. Koshō often compared her to her sister, rebuking her for her cowardice. Mitsuko grew to resent Suki, as she felt inferior to her. Because of this resentment, Mitsuko instead grew closer to her cousin Umiko. Umiko encouraged her to stand up for herself, though Mitsuko found this hard to do, fearing her father's wrath.

Appearance
Mitsuko is often described by others as plain, which is true. She has simple brown hair and brown eyes, like most of her clan. She is noticably shorter than most of her peers, something that her sister teases her about.

Kekkei Genkai
Bloodline limit. Delete if unrelated. Your oc does NOT need to have one. If related, here you should describe the ability to use the limit, its affects on the character and when do they choose to use it. It is suggested that if you are planning to have more than one character using the bloodline, you create a seperate article for the Kekkei Genkai. If your character is a user of a KG that is already in the Naruto Universe, please add a link to a Narutopedia or Wikipedia article about the bloodline limit.

Part I and II template: Use for characters who appear in both Naruto and Shippuden.

Part I: Use for characters who appear in Naruto only. (Think of the First Databok to be how they started out fresh out of the acedemy, and the Second to be after much progress) Part II: Use for characters who appear in Shippuden only.

Quotes

 * (To her father) "I am weak, you, say, and that is true. But that does not mean that I will never grow stronger. I am doing all that I can to please you, Father, is that not enough? I may never reach your expectations, but I love you, Father." 
 * (To Shin) "I will not tell you to return; your decisions are your own, and the consequences that follow, too."
 * (To her mother) "Why am I so weak? Why can't I be like Big Sister?" 
 * (To her older sister) "I used to admire you, and I still do. But I no longer envy you, nor do I resent you. I know that I will never please Father as much as you do, but I will do what I can. I no longer feel guilty for my weakness, because I know that I have done the right thing. I know that strength is not to win every battle; it is when you confess that you are weak and can do nothing on your own, but you still strive to do what is right, that you become truly strong. That is what I believe. That is a lesson I have learned from Shin."
 * (To Asuna) "Shin. . .he may have committed many crimes, yes, but still I love him. If commanded to do so, or if it is absolutely necessary, I would kill him, because my love for him should not blind me so that I am unaware of what is true. But I will love him, nevertheless."
 * (To Tetsu Kurogane ) "I understand that you hate him. Shin would understand. But I beg you to forgive him, though it is hard."
 * (To Aishimasu) "Aishimasu, do you know who it was that gave you your name. . .and do you know why?"
