Hyuga Hitomi

Hyuga Hitomi (日向  ヒトミ ) is a chūnin-level kunoichi from Sunagakure, katana-user, member of Team Wantanabe, and member of Konahagakure's Hyuga Clan. She possesses the Byakugan kekkei genkai.

Background
Hitomi was born into the Branch House of the Hyūga clan to  Hizashi, the twin brother of the clan's current head  Hiashi Hyūga. She was born as part of a set of twins, with her brother being Neji Hyuga. Hitomi was an exceptionally weak infant, with undevoleped lungs and poor eyesight. She was considerably smaller than her twin, and weighed only three pounds upon birth. Her mother knew she would be treated harshly as a weak Hyuga and a female female branchmember. Before her passing, Hitomi's mother begged her brother to take her somewhere safe, wishing she could do the same for Neji. Hitomi's uncle,  Kō, agreed, knowing it was a rough life for a weak Hyuga. Kō then brought her to his old friend, Riku, who agreed to find the child a suitable home outside Konoha. Riku planned to bring her to Sunagakure, where his sister-in-law could raise her. Riku paused to purchase some supplies for the journey back, and was attacked and killed. His attackers could not bare to kill an infant, and abandoned her on nearby shinobi facilities in the hope that she would be taken care of. Lin, a semi-retired Suna shinobi, discovered the infant on the doorstep of her home in the barracks, and took Hitomi in as her own, unaware of her origins as a Hyuga and Konoha citizen.

Lin, a medic-nin, managed to heal Hitomi's lungs and provide the nutrition and care she needed to stabilize her weakened body. Hitomi, despite being extremely weak and ill, possessed an iron will comparible to that of Lin's, who is known for being focused and unrelenting. Lin decided to raise Hitomi as her own daughter, the daughter she would never have since her husband had passed away during battle.

Hitomi spent the majority of her childhood playing outdoors, and running laps on the sand. This was unintentional, yet helpful training that would later gift her with incredible stamina despite low speed. However, it was not always happy times for Hitomi. Many of the local children would tease her for her "freaky white eyes",  and spread lies behind her back, which led to her to later distrust many people.

Personality
   Hitomi is hardheaded and extremely independent. She prefers to work alone instead of with others, which is a weak trait for a shinobi to have. She can also become very arrogant when describing her “chakra burst” fighting style, though it is not hard to replicate, and may not even be original. But it’s enough for Hitomi to brag about with her genin friends, showcasing her abilities like some kind of Master Jonin, even though she’s just a chunin herself.

Despite her negative points, Hitomi is extremely good with children (having been babysitting since the age of eight) and can be fun to be around… at times. She is more outgoing and friendly after she becomes familiar with you, but doesn’t show much emotion besides anger/arrogance upon first meetings. Hitomi has had bad experiences with the citizens of Suna (though nothing explicitly horrific) that led her to distrust people in general (i.e. singling her out because of background, sharing her secrets, etc.). Hence, she tends to be closed off upon first meeting and takes her time getting used to new people.
