Shirokage [familiar]

[Nara Shikashu]

Animal Familiar

Familiar Name: Shirokage
Rank: B
Elemental Manipulation: Doton


Appearance:
    Shirokage is a White Brindle American Akita. She stands at a total height of about two feet and two inches and is vastly white clear across her long coat with spots where he fur is more of a grey. Across her coat in various patterns are black stripes similar to that of a tiger but not so clearly defined.


Personality:
    Shirokage is a very affectionate sort of ninken. She'll loyally follow Shikashu anywhere (and I mean anywhere). She will protect his belongings when he's taking a swim in a lake, and she is more than willing to tear out the throats of his enemies.

    Having been raised as a ninken since she was a puppy. Shirokage, like many ninken, has developed the ability to speak, and while she rarely does when others are around, she loves to have long conversations with Shikashu when they're alone. Of course with Shikashu being her main source for human interaction she's also a lot more open with the man, thus making it so that she'll much more openly joke with the man and actually have fun with him.

    Unlike many ninken though, Shirokage has several fears that can scare the young ninken stiff. These include a fear of fire as well as a fear of bugs. She has in fact been known to completely freeze up when she sees a bug, especially when she sees an arachnid. Something about the idea of them laying eggs in her ears freaking her out or something.

    On the otherhand, Shirokage takes great pride in her soft, fluffy coat and if anything were to happen to it... well.... boy ya better run.


Special Abilities: 

• DOTON MANIPULATION-

Shirokage possesses the ability to manipulate the element of doton to the point of where she could be considered Chūnin-level with her skills in it. While she is incapable of using any actual formal jutsu that we know of, she is capable of performing acts of doton manipulation that include but are not limited to minor terrain manipulation and travel.

• ACUTE SENSES-

Well obviously since she's a dog she has more acute senses than a human, but if I don't list this someone is likely to complain so here is it. Since she is indeed a canine, Shirokage as an extremely sensitive nose capable of sniffing out a three day old trail despite rain. On top of this she has top notch hearing, which enables her to pick up sounds that most others would otherwise miss.

• SPEECH-

Having been raised as a ninken from birth, Shirokage is capable of speaking in the human tongue like many before her. While she retains more of a shy personality around people she doesn't know very well, she is more than capable of holding lengthy conversations with Shikashu.

“If she's American, what's she doing in Naruto? :v

“Having been raised as a ninken since she was a puppy[,] Shirokage, like many ninken, has developed the ability to speak...”

A dog afraid of bugs, lol...

“but if I don't list this someone is likely to complain so here [it is].”

^ I feel this was directed at Nobe, because I would just automatically assume she'd have heightened senses as a dog.”
