Shiraha belongs to Shirayuki-no-Mai on deviantART, aka MacabreDeity on fanfiction.net.

Background
Coming soon - will update ASAP. :)

Personality
Shiraha is passive and emotional with qualities of intuitiveness, adaptability, and variableness. She's kind and sincere, and serves as a gentle support for those she is close to; mentally, she's receptive to others and is quite impressionable, able to see situations from multiple perspectives. When others are in doubt, Shiraha quickly restores their attention in a friendly, but mature tone. This makes her a good leader, and someone who is approachable and easy to befriend.

She is a sensitive soul with a warm, compassionate, and easygoing nature. She cannot bear to see suffering in others, but is not quickly moved to tears; she often keeps her innermost feelings to herself, though finds it difficult to conform to rigid behaviour patterns. She is someone who must rely on her instincts and intuitive nature, and becomes restless when forced to do otherwise. Practicality isn't her strongest point, causing her to be careless and indecisive in certain situations. She also tends to overthink situations, making her slow to react; however, once she becomes convinced in her decision, she becomes unyeilding and determined to see it through.

Shiraha is not someone who is easily angered, and even if she loses her pateince, she won't lash out; instead, she tends to get quiter and will glare, letting her thoughts race while her tongue stays idle. She views her greatest weakness to be how impressionable she is, and has tried multiple times to keep herself on the defensive, though she knows independence is an alien experience. Ultimately, Shiraha knows her place as a ninja and is very dedicated to her duty. She values responsibility and will always do what is expected of her, always completing what she starts.

Appearance
Shiraha has long, thin black hair that falls freely to her waist, with her bangs crudely cropped into layers - the first reaches her eyes, the second falls to her chin, with the longest reaching her collar bone - with a single lock that falls over her brow. When on missions or preparing for a fight, she will pull her hair over her shoulders and bind it in a series of white bandages to keep it out of the way. In build, she is of average height but is quite lean; because she relies mostly on speed and physical strength, she has trained herself to become lithe, and has even taken body pills while she trained as a genin.

She has a very fair complexion - which is accented by her dark hair - with a long, flat nose, blunted chin, and high cheekbones. Her jaw is sharp, despite her mostly soft and rounded features, with her lips thin and her neck long. Her eyes are evenly centered and are elegantly angled, accented by her dark lashes, with her irises a light grey in colour; she hardly wears makeup, and her features are plain enough for her appearance to go unnoticed in a crowd. Still, she is confident in her appearance without being vain.

In dress, Shiraha tends to wear traditional Japanese clothing consiting of blue hakama pants with a series of bandages covering the slits at her thighs. She wears a purple rope around the sash at her waist, which is tied securely in front with the excess cord falling down to her knees, and black, stoutly-heeled shinobi sandals. For her shirt, she wears a long sleeved white top with a thick, draping collar; the rest of the shirt is very loose and falls just above the hem of her pants, with two slits on either side, revealing the mesh she wears underneath.
