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

Background
(Coming soon!)

Personality
Sensitive and compassionate, Hibari is very outgoing and social. She is also initiative, though tends to to complicate and internalize things by over thinking them and focus on details, and doesn't always finish what she starts. She enjoys creative activities and being mentally stimulated, and appears very self-confident to others. Hibari is someone who believes that she is better than any weakness, and feels as though she can obtain all that she hopes and dreams of, which can make her feeling annoyed and helpless if something doesn't go her way. The idea of failure leaves her completely distraught and leads her to feel victimized. As a child, she believed that she was never given her fair share, always a victim, and that her failures were due to the faults of others; however, as she grew more mature, she is much more flexible, independent, and willing to admit her own faults, and makes conscious attempts to be proud despite her leg injury, but keeps her attitude in check.

She relaxes and unwinds best with the people who are closest to her. Because she is no longer able to dream of being a ninja, she feels uncertain and fearful of the future, for she is afraid of being looked over or lose respect being a non-ninja as someone from a prestigious clan. She tends to take on too much and easily gets overwhelmed, but wants to be successful despite this pressure, and is hesitant to come up with new goals after her failure as a ninja. Because of this, she tends to avoid situations where she feels she may be criticized, and tries to evade walking past the academy, hospital, and training grounds in the village. However, she still keeps scrolls and texts from the academy, and often revisits them to reread or learn new things, as she is unable to completely give up her former dream. Her guilty pleasure is talking to her friends who are still active shinobi about their careers, training, missions, and abilities, as it gives her a vicarious experience, though is very bittersweet for her.

Appearance
Hibari has thick, dark brown hair that falls to her waist, with chin-length bangs framing her face and a single lock that falls over her brow. On occasion, she will tie her hair in a loose braid, but more commonly leaves it unbound; however, she always wears two locks pulled over her right shoulder and binds them in a series of white bandages, leaving them to fall over her breast. In build, she is a short, fair-skinned woman who has an angular face with a blunted chin, her eyes rounded with a soft curve and lined with dark lashes. Her eyes are dark and evenly spaced around a long, thin nose, and high cheekbones. Hibari's mouth is short in width, though her lips are full, with the upper slightly thinner than its lower counterpart. Because of her leg, Hibari is unable to walk far distances or remain physically active for long periods of time, so she is less lean than her still-active ninja peers. She is also physically weaker, despite her previous training, because her leg cannot bare much additional weight.

As a child, Hibari had short hair that was cropped at chin-length, and wore a wrap-style undershirt with three-quarter sleeves. On top, she wore a sleeveless dress that covered the majority of her torso, revealing only the collar of the shirt underneath and reached her knees, which was lined with a thin, dark trim. Hibari also wore bandages around her wrists, and shorts underneath the dress so that she could participate in physical activity. She also wore standard ninja sandals.

In clothing, Hibari consistently wears a light blue wrap-styled kimono top with navy and black lining around the collar and sleeves. She wears a dark blue cloth around her waist that falls mid-thigh, which is bound by a brown obi and red ties. Her skirt matches the same pattern as her top in colour and style, and covers the right-portion of her body, her left leg bare, revealing the bandages that keeps her leg aligned. She also wears black boots and brown, fingerless armbands.

Abilities
While in the academy, Hibari showed great skill in trap setting and geographical understanding, as well as cultural studies in her kunoichi class. She ranked above average intellectually and manipulated hand seals well, though was average in taijutsu, ninjutsu, speed, and stamina. Her strength was poor, and she was often beaten in sparring matches and other physical activities. When in these situations, she utilized school-taught tactics and strategies well, though sometimes wasn't physically able to follow them through. She also did well with genjutsu lessons, and was very quick in dispelling an illusion and realizing when she was trapped in one.
