Tatsuki Uchiha

Tatsuki Uchiha (うちは たつき, Uchiha Tatsuki) was a famous kunoichi that was alive during the warring clan era, before Konohagakure and the shinobi village system was established. Equally strong as she was beautiful, Tatsuki gained a strong reputation in battle as people often remarked that "some flowers are too dangerous to touch", referring to her skills and peculiar beauty.

Background
Being born during the warring clan era, Tatsuki didn't hesitate to start learning how to become a ninja when she was still very young. As the only child of Tamiko and Isoshi Uchiha, Tatsuki aimed to surpass all of the other children around her and was often seen sparring with boys her age, extremely satisfied with herself when she beat them, and engaged in a lot of physical activity. Her father, an impressive ninja with great skill in strategy and genjutsu, personally trained her from a young age, stressing her to improve her illusionary techniques rather than focus on ninjutsu or taijutsu. Additionally, Tatsuki also managed to indulge in the arts around her training, especially in traditional dance, which can sometimes be seen in her unusual taijutsu style. Tatsuki was a very calculating child and learned quickly with her observant nature, always eager to learn more. She grew up to be very competitive and proud in her abilities, often praised for her intelligence and studious nature, which always bloated her ego.

While Isoshi trained her until her adolescence, Tatsuki had a stronger relationship with her mother, who had temporarily retired as a kunoichi when Tatsuki was born. Tamiko was an equally caring and strict woman who often fussed over Tatsuki's well-being, but was always extremely supportive of her family. Tamiko encouraged Tatsuki through her studies in both ninja training and in the arts, and was the one who taught Tatsuki how to play the shamisen. However, three years after coming out of her retirement, Tamiko was killed in battle and left a 12 year-old Tatsuki with her emotionally distraught father, who suffered from a crippling attack only months later. Despite this, Tatsuki continued with her training and grew to be a very independent woman, said to be as strong as she was beautiful.

Tatsuki also had a very strong, sister-like relationship with her younger cousin Kanako, and was often seen with her while growing up. Tatsuki used to enjoy performing her dances for Kanako, who wouldn't be very impressed with what she deemed to be a useless skill, and had a strong rivalry with her as children.

Personality
Tatsuki's elegance and beauty has enchanted some, while others label her beauty to be equally dangerous. Egotistic and self-centered, Tatsuki loves to flaunt her natural talents as her pride borderlines arrogance, seeing herself to be a simple but sophisticated woman with strong grace. Towards others, Tatsuki remains polite and reserved, emotionally detached, as she only keeps a few close friends. Upon meeting new people she scrutinizes and profiles their character, basing them off of initial impressions and her assumptions, making others think she is over confident with herself. However, despite her cold and intimidating demeanour, Tatsuki is a warm-hearted woman and is extremely loyal, never going back on her word. She goes out of her way to help those she considers close and always keeps her promises, which is why she is considered a good ally.

Tatsuki is also quick to offend and takes challenges against her authority or skills very seriously. While she won't have an outburst of rage, Tatsuki isn't shy to intimidate or belittle others to secure her position, especially because of her competitive nature. She is, however, tasteful with her sarcastic humour and knows her place, so she won't ever speak out at inappropriate times or in front of those she knows will get offended.

There is a significant contrast in Tatsuki's personality when in battle and when she is off duty, to the point where people would consider her to be two different people if it were not for her peculiar beauty. After a battle, Yuki Shiramatsu remarked that "She was a woman that held such high grace and poise, she could have been beautiful if she weren't also the terrifying warrior who tried to kill me."

Appearance
Tatsuki is a tall, fair-skinned woman with long black hair that she ties back at the nape of her neck. Her collar-length bangs are center parted and pinned away from her face while two untied locks of hair fall over her shoulders, draped over her breasts and reach as far as her waist. Tatsuki's eyes are black as jet, their almond shape accented with black khol and long eyelashes, elegantly slanted above sharp cheekbones. Her lips are painted a subtle crimson, adding thickness that isn't naturally there, with a pointed chin and an oval face that's lengthened by her subtly curved nose. Tatsuki adds to her height by wearing heeled-shoes, her figure feminine with well-endowed curves.

When she was younger, Tatsuki wore a simple blue kimono with a navy obi tied around her waist, lined with a purple sash. On the sleeves was a three tomoe design, the same pattern as the Sharingan, with a black wrap-shirt tucked underneath. A series of bandages were kept wrapped around her ankles and covered her calves, her feet clad with traditional wooden sandals. She kept her hair bound at the nape of her neck with her chin-length bangs framing her face. Even at a young age she was quite tall, towering over her younger cousin despite the few years separating them.

When in battle, Tatsuki was seen to be clad in black turtle-neck undershirt that covers her torso and upper arms. Over that she wears a nevy blue shirt with loose short sleeves, revealing the trim of her undershirt, and red armour plates that cover her shoulders, breast, abdomen, and hips. Over her forearms Tatsuki wore fingerless gloves that reached all the way up to her elbows, plated with silver armour, matching the three tomoe medallion that was embedded in her armour just underneath her breasts. Underneath her armour she wore navy pants with a long skirt tucked in the back, covering her backside, that fell to her knees. She wore traditional wooden sandals and tied her hair high up on her head, leaving two locks to fall over her shoulders that she bound with a series of bandages.

In her leisure and after her retirement as a ninja, Tatsuki wore a navy blue kimono that she loosely draped over her shoulders, revealing much of her torso, with a black wrap-style shirt underneath. The length of her kimono varied, with the back reaching all the way down to her calves while the front fell only to her knees, revealing the black stockings that she wore underneath. Over her waist she wore a maroon-coloured obi with pink ties, matching the strings that she tied at the fringe of her stockings, and a matching choker. Tatsuki also continued wearing fingerless gloves that went up to her elbows, leaving her hair bound low and her bangs pinned back.

Abilities
Like most of her clansmen, Tatsuki is a kunoichi with an affinity for fire release techniques and shares the ability to use her clan's fire ninjutsu. However, that is the extent of her ninjutsu abilities; instead, Tatsuki mastered skills in genjutsu and kenjutsu, earning the title Tatakai no Bara (戦いのバラ). Tatsuki isn't physically strong nor notably adept at taijutsu, but her natural grace and skills in dance help improve her physical combat, for she can easily evade and trick her opponents. However, despite being a notable member of the Uchiha clan during this time, Tatsuki's reputation quickly evaporated after her retirement.

Chain Whip
While most shinobi during this period used various assorted weapons, Tatsuki focused and became most fluent with her specialty Chain Whip. Her chain whip, nicknamed Himawari (ひまわり), got it's reputation as Tatsuki began infusing her fire release into the blade, in which the metal would immediately be engulfed in flames. This weapon can only be used in long-ranged battles, but can also be a tool to hook onto enemies and pull them close for short-ranged combat, and has been proven to be quite deadly when Tatsuki weilds it. She was mostly seen carrying this when she went to battle, not even carrying a katana like most of her clansmen.

Sharingan
Like other ninja in her clan, Tatsuki was able to awaken her Sharingan as she started going off to battle, activating it after experiencing significant emotional distress from the constant fighting. With this ability, Tatsuki has access to the Sharingan's generic abilities such as seeing chakra, using advanced genjutsu, following and predicting enemy movement, as well as copying other ninja techniques. After its activation, Tatsuki was not shy about using its abilities and habitually relied on it more often than she needed, using it to improve her prowess on the battlefield.

However, unlike most, Tatsuki was also able to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan at the age of 21 after the death of her lover, Juzo Uchiha. Because she had already established the habit of overusing her Sharingan, Tatsuki almost immediately started suffering from the side effects from the Mangekyou Sharingan as her eyesight quickly deteriorated and left her completely blind by the age of 27.
