Matsuko Abukara

Matsuko Abukara

Background
Matsuko was born with just about the cheesiest name for any Konhona-nin. Meaning pine-tree, it was a common joke during her childhood, but eventually, as everyone matured, the nickname lost its' value. Matsuko was born into a commoner family, luckily possessing just enough chakra to warrant academy education. When her parents found out she wanted to be a ninja, they happily accepted her choice. Especially her mother, who had wanted to be one, but did not quite possess the needed hand-eye coordination.

Matsuko joined the academy at the age of four, being smart enough to join early and earnest enough to catch up with Taijutsu. She became fast friends with Gai and Obito, attracted to their bright and cheerful personalities. Through both of them, she met Kakashi and Rin. Kakashi hates her, mostly due to how she keeps trying to nudge him into a friendship. Rin, accepting as she is, has no problem with getting along with Matsuko.

When she graduated, she passed the writing test with flying colors, but struggled somewhat with the copy technique.

Matsuko's genin team got along with the sort of quiet patience not present by any means with any of the other teams, and did three months' worth of D-ranks before their first C-rank. By the time they completed the C-rank, all thoughts of teamwork fled, so aggravated they were at how many D-ranks they had to do. In the end, it had all been their jonin instructor, Tuena Arawakan, egging them into actually trusting each other instead of seeing each other as tools. Their third C-rank took a turn for the worse when copy-nins started infiltrating the mission. Without the normal bond that other teams had, civilians ended up dying and their mission was failed. It was a grim reminder that Matsuko and her team needed to work on teamwork, and they took the chance immediately.

When Kakashi's father died, Matsuko stopped nudging at him for friendship, just treating him like he was a friend already. That meant inviting him over for dinner at her place, volunteering to join his team on double-team missions, and being more relaxed around him. As much as he hated to admit it, Kakashi later said that he could have gone without it, but it was nice to know that someone cared.

Personality
Matsuko tends to be a bit... of an acquired taste. She is incredibly suspicious of pretty much everyone and everything, carrying the ninja version of a Swiss-army knife everywhere. Her third C-rank did nothing to help her paranoia, almost killing Obito before realizing it was him.

Otherwise, she is a surprisingly respectful girl, taking to calling her Genin leader Arawakan-sama. Gai had to pretty much threaten her bodily harm to avoid having her call him senpai after his Chunin promotion.

Around her friends, Matsuko is still wary, but tends to take her anger and fear out in dry sarcasm and wit rather than becoming even more jumpy than usual, her normal reaction. And unoriginal as it may seem, Matsuko tends to be an extreme martyr, despite her somewhat cowardly outer shell.

Appearance
Here will be your OC's appearance. Describe the history of any marks they might have (you can do this in the background of course), their hairstyles, clothing, weapons and other physical traits

Abilities
Here you will write the basics of the ablities, such as what is their strongest asset, their strenghts and weaknesses, strategical preferences and such

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.

Status
Fill out one of the following tables. Delete the ones you will not be using. The ratings are out of 5, 5 being the highest. For total, add up all the points for each category. (Note: The Databook Numbers are NOT parts of the anime. Think of the First and Second Databooks to be in Part l. The Third is the most recent of your oc, and the only one of Part ll.)

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.

Part I
Here you write about your character's plot during the original Naruto series. Delete the heading if your character appears only in Shippuden.

Part II
Here you write about your character's plot during the Shippuden series. Delete the heading if your character appears only in the original Naruto series.
