Shida Yūgure (夕暮れけシダ, Yūgure Shida) is a kunoichi of Kirigakure.

Background

While she was young, Shida was left on the doorsteps of the Kiri Orphanage and would spend the next few years of her life there. Some of the chores that she had to do was assist with the vegetable garden. While she found gardening fun, she found growing vegetables boring and eventually started growing flowers, which she found to be much more exciting. She was eventually adopted into the Yūgure clan and was eventually enrolled into the Kirigakure Academy when she was old enough. Even after being adopted she maintained her love of growing flowers, growing her own in the garden of her new home. Following her adoption, Shida would be trained in chakra control by her adoptive parents.

At some point before graduating from the Kirigakure Academy, she rescued a butterfly from a spider's web that was in her garden. This butterfly, being an individual from the mythical Onmyō Fields, reverse summoned her to the fields the next day and offered her an opportunity that nobody has had in centuries, to form a summoning contract with the inhabitants of Onmyō Fields. Accepting the butterflies offer and after being taught the summoning technique, Shida formed a contract with several swarms of butterflies and moths.

Personality

Shida is an idealistic and sentimental individual. When she puts her mind towards a goal, she will go out of her way in order to obtain that goal. She also tends to be wary of people she has just met, often trying to figure out if they have some alternative motive to talking to her. Should someone gain her trust she becomes much more friendly if a little shy around them.

Between her teammates, Shida tends to act as the mediator and hates to see them argue.

Following her survival of Kirigakure's brutal graduation exam, she gained an intense desire to fix the corrupt system that Kirigakure had fallen into. Despite belonging to the lowest caste, she knows that power is what mattered in Kirigakure and desired to gain enough power in order to obtain a government position. With a government position she believes that she could fix Kiri's corrupt and unjust system. However, her attempts at gaining power have had her make some questionable and reckless decisions, such as forming a summoning contract with vampiric butterflies after being warned not to.

Appearance

Shida possess wavy, neck-length white hair, fair skin and light blue eyes. Her outfit consists of a blue shirt with a zipper along its length under a short-sleeve white coat. She also has light colored shinobi pants, sandals and a light blue forehead protector.

Abilities

Ninjutsu

Butterfly and Moth Techniques

Shida's most notable abilities involved butterflies and moths summoned from Onmyō Fields, being one of the few individuals in history to form a summoning contract with its denizens. She possessed multiple summoning tattoos throughout her body, reflecting her contracts with the different species of butterflies and moths. She was also capable of summoning multiple species at once, often using one species in order to cover the summoning of another species.

Shida's butterfly techniques often involve summoning a swarm in order to complete specific tasks, with the tasks different species being assigned to different tasks. One of the most commonly seen species used by Shida is the swallowtail butterfly, which are often used as a swarm in order to cause a distraction or to mask the presence of another species. Another kind of butterfly that she has been shown to summon are known as Iron Butterflies, which are capable of lifting objects many times their weight. Her most dangerous summons are known as vampire butterflies, which when summoned will quickly swarm an opponent, her allies or even Shida herself in order to satiate their thirst and have been known to only leave a corpse when it no longer has a single drop of blood left in it.

Her moth techniques often involved manipulating a substance called moth dust. This dust is capable of blinding anybody that gets it in their eyes, with the blindness being permanent until they wash it out with water. Shida was capable of manipulating this dust in many ways, such as having it sprinkled over the opponent from the wings of her summoned moths, or by lining her clothes with it so that when she was struck by an opponent she could easily get it on their skin. She was also able to transfer her consciousness to certain moths, allowing her to spy on conversations easily.

Nature Transformation

Shortly after graduating the Kirigakure Academy, Shida began to learn the basics of Wind Release. Her currently only known technique allows her to form sharp wind currents in the shape of a butterfly swarm, allowing her to cut up an opponent that gets to close to her.

Bukijutsu

Shida carries a sword and has been shown to be competent with it to use it against other genin, though she only uses it for defensive purposes against any kind of opponent. She is also known to favor the use of explosive tags in surprise attacks.

Genjutsu

Unlike many of her classmates and peers, Shida has a natural affinity for genjutsu. This translates to being able to detect it, breaking free from it and performing it as part of her fighting style. Her illusions often incorporated butterflies in them to serve as quick distractions so the opponent doesn't immediately realize that they are caught in a genjutsu.

Story

Kiri Academy Graduation arc

Having just passed the written portion of her final exam, a nervous Shida is led into a large training ground alongside the rest of her graduating class. Looking around, she sees several students forming into groups of various sizes, realizing that she has nobody but herself to rely on in the coming slaughter. Before the last of the potential graduates arrive, she notices that several of the upper caste graduates are watching from the second level, disappointing Shida. Lastly, Shida looks around at the training ground and sees that half of it is solid earth while the other half is full of water.

Once all of the students have gathered, the headmaster of the Kirigakure Academy appears and explains the rules of the graduation exam with Shida making mental notes. Firstly, all students who do not pass will be killed. Second, those who kill at least one person will pass; no kills will result in their skills being evaluated by Jōnin observers who will determine if you pass or not. Third, the fighting does not start or stop until the headmaster himself says so and no killing is allowed before or after the headmaster begins and stops the fighting respectively. Lastly, everything else is fair game. Upon mentioning this last rule, Shida and the other graduates are told to report to a location in the training ground.

Seeing that she is placed near a student she recognizes as Yūha Yahō and that she did not belong to any alliance, Shida wonders to herself is she could potentially team up with her. Before she could request Yūha to form an alliance, the headmaster shouts that the fighting is to begin.

With no time to waste, Shida summons a swarm of camouflage swallowtails and attempts to summon a swarm of moths, but is attacked by another student before she can. With the swarm distracting her opponent, Shida manages to hold her own but fails to gain any significant advantage. However, a flashbomb goes off behind her manages to blind her opponent, who retreats into the water, giving Shida a chance to summon a swarm of moths which coats her clothing in Moth Dust.

Before she resume her offense, Shida is attacked by a group of three participants but manages to dodge their attack. Needing a quick escape, she creates a distraction by using her swarm of butterflies, the clone technique and a genjutsu. However, the group of three quickly see through this and Shida is quickly pursued. Attempting to retreat to another spot, she is quickly cornered alongside Yūha, who had been pursed by a different group of 3. Now faced against 6 enemies, she and Yūha quickly agree to an alliance.
