Seina was born into the famed Hoshina clan to Seiichi Hoshina and his wife Sanae, as part of the Main House due to inheriting their characteristics, namely a large chakra capacity and good chakra control. Like the children her age, Seina attended the Academy, and she eventually graduated and was placed on a genin team consisting of Saya Kohaku, Takeo Nara and Kotarō Shimura under the guidance of Cho Li Akimichi. Not long after the team's formation they were sent to fight in the Second Shinobi World War.
Personality
Seina is a very optimistic girl who hates to lose. She is determined and caring towards her teammates, often acting like a mother while she fusses over their injuries, and oblivious to any crushes directed at her. She is easily intimidated, mainly by Cho Li's large frame and scarred face, however Seina greatly cares for the wellbeing of her mentor, going as far as to attempt to heal her while outright putting herself in danger. Seina also tends to add "-desu" at the end of her sentences when she is flustered or angered. Seina hates to see when her close friends are feeling negativity or are just emotionless, so she has made it her life-long personal mission to keep the people around her as happy as they can be, which can be a reason why she is always optimistic. On this regard, Seina can be described as somewhat annoying, as she tries her best to make the people around her smile and laugh, and one of her constant "victims" is Saya, whom Seina adores like her own sister. Similar to her view on Saya as her "sister", Seina views her team as her second family, with Takeo and Kotarō taking the role of her "brothers", and views Cho Li as her "older sister".
Appearance
Seina's initial appearance
Seina has fair skin, light brown hair and blue eyes, traits that others say makes her look almost identical to her mother. From her father, she inherited her two beauty spots, one on each side on the corner of her eye. Her hair is waist-length and is tied in the middle, a strand of her hair wrapping around it multiple times. Her hair is parted to the left and two strands, one on each side, is pulled to the back with a black string while a couple of strands fall on her forehead and frame her face. Seina has been noted to be an "early bloomer", as she has started growing faster than most of her female classmates, namely in the chest department. Despite growing quicker than her classmates, she is the shortest on her team and among the majority of her clansmen. Seina is described as "childlike" in appearance, which is noted by her chidlish and youthful face, still sporting some baby fat while her body is petite yet well developed to her age.
She normally wears a black long-sleeved turtleneck shirt with a pale blue apron skirt, black pants underneath and standard blue shinobi sandals open at the back. When on duty, she wears her forehead protector on her forehead on a black cloth, and replaces her apron skirt with one that has a large pocket on it in the middle, where she stores her extra kunai, shuriken and medical scrolls.
Abilities
Kekkei Genkai
As a member of the Hoshina clan, Seina inherited the Swift Release. The Swift Release (迅遁, Jinton; Viz "Quick Style") is an advanced nature kekkei genkai that can be used to move with instantaneous speed, granting the user an advantage over opponents with more strength than speed, such as users of Chakra Enhanced Strength. This nature therefore renders the user invulnerable against most taijutsu. During the time her team was ambushed, she utilised the Swift Release: Shadowless Flight to escape the attacks of her opponents and to gain advantage over them with her speed.
Seina's Stats
Chakra Control
As Seina is part of the Main House of the Hoshina clan, she has inherited good chakra control, and she uses this to her advantage. Seina can channel a specific amount of chakra to a part of her body that she is required to use to unleash the techniques that she wants to use. She can enhance her taijutsu by transmitting her chakra to the part of her limbs that will hit her opponent and she can create a devastating effect with this.
Sensory Perception
Seina can expand her range to detect the presence of others, easily discern whether or not a specific individual are among a crowd, pick up chakra from long distances, and determine if targets are approaching her and how many or what species.She can also determine the size of a target's chakra reserve and potency, and she can also find out if an enemy is using a clone technique, and indicate if someone, including herself, is trapped in genjutsu.
Bukijutsu
She has regularly displayed great skill in various ninja tools, such as the ability to infuse her kunai with chakra, and also to quickly slash at her opponents as a way of defence. She is skilled in the use of a tantō after she was taught by her father and trained for hours on end during her free time after the academy.
Nature Transformation
With the Swift element, she can move at superhuman speed and strike at various angles quickly, rendering all taijutsu and power-users useless against her.
Ninjutsu
Medical Ninjutsu
Seina's chakra control allowed her to learn the aspects of medical ninjutsu. With this, she has learned to use the Mystical Palm Technique, which she uses to heal her teammates and sensei with. Her ability allows her to heal deep wounds, stop heavy bleeding, and to also identify potential diseases in her patient when the disease is still in its developing stage.
Cooperation
Seina seems to collaborate well with others, as she can utilise her Swift Release to aid Saya in performing the Demonic Illusion: Inverted Battle, which aids Saya in making this technique as powerful as it can be. She was also shown to be able to work well with Kotarō, who often distracts opponents while she blindsides them while they are focused on him.
Seina graduates from the Academy and was placed on a four-man cell called Team Cho Li alongside Kotarō, Saya and Takeo. Her first meeting with her sensei was brief, with the older woman telling Seina to meet her on a one-on-one meeting the next day. Meeting her sensei at the arranged time the next day in a restaurant, Seina was asked questions by Cho Li about herself, mainly her skills and hobbies. She started having suspicion as to why Cho Li would be so kind to her, due to hearing a lot of intimidating rumors about her new sensei. As Cho Li encouraged her to eat, Seina's suspicion grew, however she disgarded it and ate the food that was served for her, only realizing moments after consumption that it was poisoned, and she was knocked out by the poison's effects. She later woke up at sunset tied to a tree, and Seina wondered as to what purpose this would have. She then sensed her teammates nearby and attempted to use her chakra to sharpen it and hopefully disrupt the chakra flow in the wires that held her. Seina successfully broke out after a few attempts and ran towards the direction where she sensed her teammates faint chakra signatures. After wondering for a while around the area, she found Kotarō.
After finding their other two teammates, Saya and Takeo, they tell each other about their meeting with Cho Li. Seina along with the rest of her team start to search for a way back to Konoha, but they ends up lost instead. Seina and Saya start to look for a place to build shelter and a fire. By the time the sun set, they were able to secure some food. As they ate, they started trying to get to know each other better. After a while, Seina and Takeo sensed others around them. Saya said it was likely their sensei, since she was the only one who knew they were there. Just then, a blast of water put out their fire. The four of them scattered and realized they were being attacked. Luckily Seina and Takeo were able to pick out the enemy's movements, due to them having sensory skills, which they used to help their teammates in the dark. Seina continued to attack her opponents, carefully sensing them and using her tantō to slash at them in precise movements.
The fight continued, with the four of them helping each other when an opponent overpowered them. Seina often located their opponents and warned her teammates about their locations. Eventually the enemy stopped their offensive and disappeared. The four were finally able to catch their breaths as they wondered what had just happened. Seina healed any of the injuries her teammates recieved during the assault, while she thought about possible reasons as to why Cho Li would even drug the genin only to bring them to the forest.
Creation and Conception
Seina was created to be a part of a collaboration team with a few other users of the N.O.W. Seina was originally going to be a character of either a different clan, or no clan at all, however I decided to make her part of the clan that I have created earlier, the Hoshina clan, in hopes of expanding it and discover the clan's background a bit deeper. "Seina" was also a name that I have picked from a random website when I was researching for Japanese female names that I have not yet picked and this name stood out the most with it's meaning from the list I saw.
She was also depicted to have a youthful and childish face to show that despite the fact that when she graduated at the age of 12, put on Team Cho Li, then sent to war; she was still a child inside who didn't know what to do in those situations. She relies heavily on the guidance of her teammates and sensei in order to succeed, which is a reference to her true self. She is mostly a "positive" character who brings the joy to the team.
Trivia
Seina means 'star and Nara', according to someone's opinion online. This could be a reference to the first part of her clan's name, 'Hoshina', which literally means 'star'.
According to the databook(s):
Seina's favourite food is her mother's homemade onigiri, and her least favourite is vegetables. This causes small quarrels between herself and her teammate Takeo Nara, who is fond of the food.
Seina's hobbies are stargazing and collecting herbs.
Seina doesn't want to fight anyone in particular.
Seina has completed _ official missions in total: _ D-rank, _ C-rank, _ B-rank, _ A-rank, _ S-rank.
Seina is a character to be fitted in during the Second Shinobi World War. She is a PreGen OC created as part of a joint project to fill out that era.
Quotes
(To herself during stargazing) "Every star out there probably represents a single life. I wonder...which ones mine?...May the stars guide you on your path...I guess."
(To Cho Li) "I don't care if I'm wounded! Your injuries are far worse than mine are and I'm not about to let someone I'm close to die in front of me, sensei! I want to prove that I can help when you need it, so let me do so!"
(To herteam-mates) "Let me heal your injuries, we cannot afford to have any right now, our chances of success will decrease gradually."
