APPEARANCE

Hitomi stands at five foot ten and weighs one hundred and sixty pounds. She's toned, but not altogether very muscular, and due to her style of dress looks quite nonthreatening. Naturally blonde, she dyes her hair a bright emerald green - her favorite color - and keeps her wavy locks at about chin length. Her eyes are a dull reddish-hazel color.

Hitomi wears white and shades of red and brown, a very simple color scheme. While in the village, she often wears sundresses and other figure-flattering outfits, with sunflowers hand-picked from her small garden as accessories. On anything official, she tends to tone it down and wear a plain red v-neck top, a dark brown vest, and dark brown pants with her headband around her neck.

PERSONALITY

Hitomi is a bold and outspoken woman with a tendency towards brashness. She doesn't care if her words are rude or offensive, and thus alienates others more easily than she makes friends. Not that she particularly wants friends - comrades, to her, are tools that exist only as long as they are deemed useful, and expendable if they get in the way. People in general are considered inferior, up to and including the kage himself (whom Hitomi submits to on the basis of power and a slight fondness).

She doesn't really have a mental filter; if she thinks something, she says it, no matter how inappropriate or rude. Because of this, she's often thought of as a pervert (which, admittedly, she kind of is). And her depraved nature is no surprise to anyone who's known her for more than about five seconds.

She's violent and will always opt for bloodshed over peace unless that contradicts a direct order (and sometimes does it anyway). The only thing keeping her from wanton destruction for the fun of it is the Tsuchikage's short leash.

She is a fairly friendly person, if one can get past the sadomasochism, insatiable bloodlust, superiority complex, and perversion. The operative word there being 'if,' of course. Hitomi likes to chatter and spend time around people for the entertainment factor of watching lesser beings interact.

Really pleasant, isn't she?

HISTORY

Hitomi is the second child of Konoe Tatsuo and Haruka. Their elder child was a son named Kenji, born three years prior to their daughter. They were raised as typical Konoe children - taught to desire the spilling of blood, taught that they were superior to all, taught that the shinobi nations should bow before their power.

Kenji and Hitomi were among the first clan children to be raised in Iwagakure and put through their shinobi academy. As such, they gained a little village loyalty that their parents would have preferred to not exist. They experienced elements of "normal" childhood in a village among many, and while it softened the elder child, it merely hardened the younger.

Hitomi's years at the academy were filled with pranks, most of them with the potential to be deadly. She stayed near the top of her class for the entire duration, which was one of very few reasons that she was allowed to graduate at all. Even at the young age of twelve, she was considered dangerous and potentially harmful to comrades.

She made her first kill on her genin team's first C-Rank mission, which was considered quite early. They caught a group of bandits making camp near the border. Her sensei sent the swiftest of their team back to the village in case they required aid; then he set about taking out the bandits, telling the other two genin to stay hidden. Hitomi did not listen. She wanted to be part of the action. And she attacked a bandit, viciously savaging him with a pair of kunai. Though small and unskilled, her fervor and the surprise nature of the attack led her to victory, and she slit the bandit's throat and let him bleed out. The remaining genin on the field was disturbed by her violent nature; the image of the girl's white clothing stained red with fresh blood would recur many, many times over the years, often signifying the beginning of a rampage she would not stop.

She pushed her teammates into taking the Chūnin exams at the earliest opportunity offered to them by their sensei; they were fifteen at the time, and the exams were held in Iwa. No thanks to Hitomi, they passed the team portions with relative ease. Individual combat was something she dominated; extensive training, especially in her clan techniques and aim with throwing weapons, boosted her above the level of most of her competition. Restraint was not a part of her training, however; she dispatched her enemies with ruthless efficiency and probably a little more blood than those watching would have liked. Still, she demonstrated enough skill and mental acuity to earn her promotion.

Hitomi went straight into the ANBU on the recommendation of her former sensei; he figured it would do the wild girl some good to have discipline beaten into her. And yes, it worked, to an extent. She still relished the fights and preferred to attack head-on rather than go for the silent kill, but the years in ANBU tempered her slightly. After five years, however, she was completely sick of having to hide behind a mask and carry out operations with stealth. She left the ANBU and sought a promotion, which was not granted to her at that time.

It was around then, when Hitomi was twenty, that the clan begin to stir, muttering about the possibility of assassinating the Tsuchikage and taking over the village. This potential coup was spearheaded by Hitomi's mother, who had the ultimate say as the leader of the clan. However, Hitomi disagreed with this plan of action, the possibility of being eradicated, banished from the country, and labeled forever as kage killers. It would bring them fear, but not respect, status, or safety. Hitomi's mother thought her a fool for opposing, and told her daughter that she would get her way only over her mother's cold, dead body.

Hitomi took that as a challenge and almost single-handedly wiped out the members of her clan that had dared to even think about a coup, including her parents. She ascended to the position of clan leader at a young age, and enforced her authority with violence. After her slaughter, she brought the Tsuchikage evidence of that sect of the clan's plans and assured him that the same mistake would not be made again.

Shortly afterwards, she received a merit-based promotion to Jōnin for her service to the village, likely as much to placate her and the clan as it was for her skill. Still, it could not be denied that she was a powerful individual.

She served the next nine years as a Jōnin on a general operations team, with the occasional stints in ANBU as deemed necessary, and spent all of her free time training to increase her power. During that time, she earned a reputation as the Blood-Spattered Princess and Plague of Iwagakure.

Upon the ascension of the Nanadaime Tsuchikage, Hitomi received the honor of being chosen as his assistant, a prudent move on his part. To keep her under control, she needed to be put on a tight leash, and what better way to do so than keep her with the kage himself the majority of the time? Of course, she is a little restless doing office work, but the company of the kage (whom she has a bit of affection for) is enough to keep her satisfied.

For now.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Konoe Clan Hijutsu
Hitomi is considered a master of her clan's hijutsu, the most proficient user of the techniques alive. Her skill and brutality with the use of the Shouki Soushi is unmatched.

Enhanced Chakra Pool
Being mainly a ninjutsu powerhouse, a larger than average chakra pool is a necessity. Hitomi's increased chakra capacity came about after almost two decades of intensive training. Her chakra pool is about on par with the average kage.

Enhanced Endurance
Hitomi likes to get up close and personal in fights, despite her arsenal of longer range ninjutsu techniques, partly due to the necessity of bloodshed for her clan's techniques, and partly because it's just more fun to slice and dice than just set somebody on fire or something. So she underwent endurance training, to allow her body to take more hits before being beaten down. This lends to her tendency of almost berserker-like behavior in battle, which can often be a double-edged sword.

ANBU Training
Having served five years in the ANBU, Hitomi of course retains those skills: stealth, tracking, and the art of silent assassination. Being the exact opposite of what one would expect from the woman, this training can allow her to take equally or more skilled enemies by surprise.
