Name:
Shimetsuki Hikaru. The 'Shi' is short for 'shishi', which is lion. 'Metsuki' is eyes, so thus the surname is 'Lioneyes.' "Hikaru' means to shine brightly. Thus, the name means Shining Lioneyes.
Age:17
Rank:Chuunin
Clan:Hikaru belongs to the small, honorable Shimetsuki clan. This clan is know for being small, but every generation of the clan has at least one exceptionally strong shinobi. The current elite Shimetsuki is Hikaru's father Hikari.
Gender:Female
Clothing or Armor:
Hikaru wears her forehead protector around her neck on a gray headband. Her hair is still relatively short, but it's now long enough to have a slight wind-blown look andhas an almost unnoticable upward angle to it and just sticks out behind her head a little bit. Her thick, dark black hair as a healthy sheen and is kept neat. Her bangs end slightly below her eyes and frame her face.
Hikaru has traded in her plain long-sleeve shirt for a fitted black shirt with sleeves that end three inches off of her shoulder. The fabric is slightly loose at the sleeves freer movement, but not much more, and the collar of the shirt is wide and just somewhat low, but this is covered up by her vest. She still has her fingerless gloves with metal plates on them on her hands, but she has modified them to be more feminine by having them go up her arm and end at her elbow. These are both black and made of leather. She wears her shirt under her Chuunin vest.
Hikaru still dislikes skirts or anything of the sort, but she realizes that having toned legs can be a plus, so she's switched from pants to shorts. These shorts are a dark black, just liker her shirt, mask, and boots. The material is resistant to wear, but soft to the touch and specially woven for kunoichi. They have two back pockets and two in the front, along with belt loops. Through this she wears a black belt, onto which she attaches her kunai pouch, which is gray instead of the standard beige. Lengthwise, they extend to a half inch past her fingertips when her arms are down. They ride just a tad low on her hips, revealing a half inch of skin between the shorts and her shirt. Being right-handed, her black shuriken holster is on strapped on her right leg on her shorts just as it is on many other ninjas. However, since she dislikes shuriken, she puts her smoke bombs and soldier pills in there. She has boots that are open at the toes and heels like most older teen kunoichi that go a little over halfway up her shin.
Hikaru's eyes are a dark grey, not too dissimilar from the gray of a stormy sea. When using fire jutsu, she pulls up a mask from her lower neck that looks like Kakashi's that is normally hidden by the collar of her. This is only worn during missions, so she's not obsessed like Kakashi is.
Hikaru pretty much always wears her Chuunin vest. It has the customary symbol of Fire Country on the back, but in the top right corner she has sown on a small patch of the Shimetsuki emblem, a black lion's head crossed by two red swords behind it. She always keeps it nice and clean, and she wears her sword over the vest.
Physical Appearance:
Hikaru has stormy gray eyes and jet black, short hair, cut somewhat close, but it's just an inch longer than it used to be. She's a really tall girl at 6'3" and can easily look most full grown men in the eye. Her body type is like Temari's-attractive, yet deceivingly strong. She has become slightly blessed in the upper region due to her aging. She weighs around 180 lbs., but there is not an ounce of fat. It is due to her strong body type that, unlike most kunoichi, she can really pull off an aggressive fighting style.
Hikaru used to have no facial scars at all until her last mission into Sound, which was received by a stray shuriken on the mission to recover the Shimetsuki summoning scroll. This scar is one inch long and runs vertically through her right eyebrow, but thankfully it healed smooth and straight instead of rough and jagged. This can appear quite humorous when she arches her right eyebrow when in disbelief or making an inquiry. She also has one an inch long on her right wrist that she acquired while training once. She has a normal nose and somewhat fair skin most of the year, but in the summer she has a healthy, light tan. Her eyes are the normal distance apart, and her eyebrows are in proportion to her face, just right. Her mouth is medium size, and her head is no larger or smaller than average. She did used to have an over-sized chin though, which resulted in teasing during early Academy years. This resulted in a loss of self-confidence, but after she grew into it very nicely, she was more confident than ever before. All in all, her face is quite attractive. When on missions or when using one of her fire jutsu, she pulls up a mask that looks like Kakashi's from around her neck to protect from heat. Unlike some other members of her clan, she'd rather not toughen up her face and skin to resist heat, which is part of the reason why she wears long sleeves and pants. Most of the time however, she is maskless.
Hikaru is usually confident as a rule, and as such she literally walks tall. She stands straight up, which only makes her appear yet taller. You can tell that she's a little tense when she starts rolling her right shoulder. Her right collar bone is double jointed, so it moves even more than normal. Since she is toned, when this occurs there is a muscle rippling, which helps to ease stress. Since she is tall, she has a long stride, which allows to cover ground in Konoha quickly and if she ever happens to be running late, she can run and still be punctual.
Personality:
Some things never change. In the early hours of the morning, Hikaru is still not a nice person to be around, especially on Mondays. In fact, the only one brave enough to wake her up on those days is her father, who also happens to be the faster runner in the Shimetsuki clan, which comes in quite handy seeing as Hikaru can be quite vengeful in the wee hours of the morning. She also has a thing for the color white, which she sees as fake, boring, and an all around waste of paint unless heavily accented by dark colors. Since she is woken up early though, she does early morning training which she has slowly grown to enjoy. It's just the twenty minutes after waking up that everyone is reminded that hell hath no fury as a furious maiden. Hikaru is dedicated to becoming the strongest kunoichi she can be. Right before graduating from the Academy, she managed to activate the Shimetsuki, which resulted in her friendship with Hyuuga Hinata being temporarily terminated by the head Hyuuga.
Not only is Hikaru confident, but she is also a happy person. While being teased, she learned how to enjoy the little things such as the smell of flowers, the way animals scamper, and the happenings that she observed while people watching. A good friend of hers also taught her not to scorn that roses have thorns but to be glad that thorns have roses. To this day her favorite flowers are long stemmed roses. If anyone every picked on this friend, they were quickly confronted with the problem of a wrathful Shimetsuki who would go to any length to protect her few friends. Hikaru is loyal and brave even if nothing else remains.
She doesn't show it in big ways, but Hikaru desperately wants to live up to her family name. Being the daughter of one of the greatest Shimetsuki of all time, she knows that Konoha expects big things from her. Most of the time she is confident that she can do this as long as she works hard, but every now and then she worries that she will fail. Being the only one in her clan unable to summon lions used to get to her from time to time, which greatly affected her performance, but never for too long. No matter what, Hikaru always manages to gather the strength necessary to overcome obstacles.
Since obtaining the ability to summon lions, Hikaru has felt more at home in her clan and has gained confidence that she once lacked when it came to bringing pride in the clan. She works harder than ever and her abilities have increased as well. Hikaru learned how to tacitly use her jutsus, so she doesn't just charge into a fight like she once did, but instead waits for the opportune moment.
However, as one grows from a child to adulthood, one begins to notice certain things, and this is no different for Hikaru. Lately Hikaru has begun to notice different things about her companions, such as muscle tone, hair color, and other appealing features. She doesn't show it at all on the outside, but on the inside she can be a bit of a romantic/flirt, except when she's on missions. This doesn't interfere with her training, but it can cause for her to take a little extra time running errands or other activities not directly tied to shinobi work. Hikaru has noticed that she's not just sizing someone up when she meets them for whether they would be a good ally or enemy, but rather for personal interest. This has caused her a small amount of alarm since she is expected to be somewhat of a paragon of good behavior, aside from her rare pranks of justice.
Weapons:
Hikaru never uses senbon needles and only uses shuriken on rare occasions. One of her favorite distraction techniques is throwing a kunai with an explosion tag attached right after using a smoke bomb. She will also use a soldier pill in tough situations due to her aggressive fighting style.
Hikaru also keeps a sword on her back that is thicker than a knight sword. This sword is about four and half feet long. It is only due to Hikaru's unusual height and physical strength for her age that she can use it effectively. On one side near the base it has a forward hook used to lock on an opponents blade once the offending blade can be slid into it. Once that occurs Hikaru will twist the blade to the side away from her opponent, disarming them. She has gained much experience in this technique since becoming a Chuunin since she has had the opportunity to take on tougher opponents. The hilt is black with a silver end in the shape of a lion's head. The silver guard on top of the hilt is six and a half inches in length. The blade is double edged, as is the hook that protrudes out of the right side six inches away from the hilt. The blade gleams a bright silver and has the kanjii for 'courage' graven near the hilt.

Boodline Limits:
This is the technique that gives the Shimetsuki clan high respect. This is a dojustu *has to deal with the eyes like the Sharingan or Byakagun. This is the technique known as Shimetsuki, which is where the clan gets its name. When is use, the eyes shine a golden light and the user can see rapid movement much easier. However, this is not the true strength of the Shimetsuki. The real strength is the ability to copy any single bloodline technique the bearer wishes to. Due to its questionable nature however, Hikaru has yet to implement this ability. She is unsure if it is morally correct to kill someone just so that she can have their technique. She really want to copy the Byakagun, but she has decided that she will do this only if one of the Hyuuga goes rouge. She knows that it was at her age her father had obtained a Byakagun, so Hikaru feels that she needs to meet that standard and is becoming worried that she might not be able to get one. Such as it is, she is attempting to collect Hyuuga blood from injuries rather than a death.
Companions: Gurekawa, a dog. It translates at gray fur. He occasionally accompanies Hikaru when she is about and has limited speech abilities. However, he has served Hikaru well and now spends his days around the Shimetsuki manor in comfort as opposed to missions in his old age.
Boss ShiShi-The king of beasts, Boss ShiShi is the patriarch of the lions. He is the size of Gamabunta and has claws to boot. He wears a blue coat and can be annoyed when summoned at inconvenient times, but he is a priceless ally. Hikaru has grown enough in stamina since being a Genin so she is certain that she can summon him.
Kyouto-*Translates as 'Rebel'* An older adolescent lion, he is Boss's son. He's very spunky and quite close to Hikaru. Occasionally he gets her into trouble in the village though with pranks.
History:
Hikaru is the daughter of the great Shimetsuki Hikari, a legend among shinobi, so she has really big shoes to fill. Growing up, she was teased in the early years at the Academy for her chin, but that passed at the same age when kids stop caring if someone is a little bit different. She was the top in her class at practical exercises, but when it came to papers she was definitely in the lower 25% of the class. She was smart and knew why jutsus worked by instinct, but she just didn't know how to write it down. She also had a difficult time memorizing all of the shinobi rules, such as never to show emotion. This caused several of her classmates to scorn her. Through this moderate isolation by some peers, Hikaru became a stronger person. She did have several friends though. She got along well enough with Inuzuka Kiba due to their similar like of furry animals. She also used to get along with Sakura and Ino, but once they split over a stupid issue, she got tired of being the mediator in a very short amount of time over such a silly reason. Hinata was also one of her friends, but there was a long pause in this friendship after Hikaru managed to activate her Shimetsuki. Hyuuga Hiashi had no wish for the Hyuuga heir to be killed and copied, but once he lost faith in Hinata the friendship resumed. Not once has Hikaru seriously contemplated copying Hinata's Byakagun. Hikaru, Hinata, and sometimes Kiba would play together as a group with games such as tag and hide and go seek.
She sometimes liked to pull small pranks at school, such as removing the teachers chair and using a bushinn replicate that would disappear as soon as the teacher 'sat' on it. One day during her academy years she watched her father perform his daily training regimen, during which she saw him perform a strange seal that she had never seen before and created a bushinn. Two weeks later, all on her own, she figured out from this how to perform the Kage Bushinn no Jutsu. This created new opportunities, such as making solid chairs that would suddenly move on command and attending class for her while she soaked up the sun just out the window, close enough to maintain the jutsu. She was held back a year in the Academy due to the Hyuuga attempting to frame her father, which caused her home to be the safest place she could be, away from where she could be snuck up on.
About halfway through the Academy, Hikaru finally started something that she had always wanted--she was able to train with her father every other morning. It was because of this that she was able to activate the Shimetsuki before graduating, which earned her the respect of her class and the younger ones. It was due to her low paper scores and being sick on several of the practical that Sasukebeat her out for top spot. Sakura was also better at papers and just as good at practical exams, so she came out as the top kunoichi. She was placed as an extra team member under Yuuhi Kurenai with her childhood friends and Aburame Shino. The bugs creeped her out at first, but she got used to it.
One of Hikaru's most important missions was her first solo mission. The reason this arose was because her team members had left on a mission while she had a cold. The mission was to escort a small family from Konoha to a small village in the middle of Grass Country. The mission was going quite peacefully until they hit the border. It was there that Hikaru had her first encounter with the Sound Nin. Two Sound shinobi in what appeared to be standard uniform approached at night. Even though it was a C rank mission, since it was an unimportant family that she was escorting, there was no expectancy to run into any more trouble than the possible bandit. The explanation for this was first hinted at with the fact that it was only her that was approached while she was taking her night shift of watch. The explanation came into the light fully when they spoke of Orochimaru's interest in her clan. Infuriated, Hikaru fought back with a previously unfound ferocity, angered that anyone would think that she might turn traitor. Eventually, with her sword bloodied and her body slightly injured, she defeated the two shinobi and took their headbands as proof of the encounter to the Hokage. The family was safely escorted, and both the Grass and the Konoha shinobi watched that area closely for a small amount of time. It was due to this that Hikaru resolved to become even stronger and has grown since that point at an almost disturbing pace.
A little after Hikaru turned fifteen, Hikaru entered into the Chuunin Exams for a second time. The first time she had entered was one year prior, but she fell ill during the prelims and was unable to continue. However, this year was different. Hikaru had improved her Honoo Kabe no Jutsu and the use of her other jutsus, particularly the Kage Bushinn, and she made it past the first two tests along with her team mates. When the finals came up, her clan cheered her on as she used all of her strength to get into the match before the final round.
While in the battlefield, Hikaru fought against a shinobi from Hidden Mist Village...a bad match up for someone who primarily uses fire jutsus. After several of her jutsus had been neutralized, Hikaru attempted to attack with multiple shadow clones from many directions, but all of the clones were blocked by a type of water barrier. When Hikaru charged in with sword drawn and Gurekawa by her side was when her match was met. The soon-to-be Chuunin attacked with a swirling cyclone of water and ice, completely defeating the duo, and thus Hikaru was defeated.
While recovering from injuries over the next two days, Hikaru reflected on her inability as a Shimetsuki. The empty hole that belonged to the lions ached and wore on her mind, and she knew that if she had attained a lion bond, she would have been able to be fast and strong enough to dodge the cyclone and rip the shinobi apart.
After returning home, Hikaru fell into a short period of depression: she hardly ate at all, her training lagged, she lost weight, and began to have darkly lined eyes from the lack of sleep. Concerned, her father Hikari asked what was wrong, and Hikaru told him how she felt about her inability as a Shimetsuki and how she felt so weak and like an outcast compared to the rest of the clan. Hikari departed for the Hokage's office, unknown to Hikaru, and requested permission to go on a recovery mission into the Sound with one of his clansmen. Understandable, the Godaime granted permission, and Hikaru and her father successfully obtained the scroll.
Upon returning to the Shimetsuki clan grounds, Hikaru signed her name in blood on the summoning scroll and instantly performed a summons, and thus Kyouto appeared, the perfect lion for an heiress behind on her summoning skills. Hikaru spent day and night trying to learn her clan's signature technique: Ninpou: Yuugou Henge no Jutsu. After several weeks, she had managed several full-fledged merges, thus completing her rites of passage as a Shimetsuki. Hikaru no longer felt out of place, and when she entered the exams a third time at 16, she passed with flying colors.
RP Example:
Hikaru was having a very nice dream concerning a certain shinobi of Konoha when she awoke. It was such a nice dream! How dare anyone interrupt it?!! Hikaru opened her eyes, which glowed with a golden venom and looked for the interloper, who was in the form of an ANBU uniform with a lion mask running in the opposite direction. With her eyes narrowed to angry slits of light, Hikaru bounded after her assailant out of the manor and through the Konoha rooftops-she was grateful she wore modest pjs.
Twenty minutes later, the pair slowed down into a clearing near the clan grounds, and the mask of the ANBU was removed to reveal a face not too unlike the nature of the animal on it, and it was grinning from ear to ear. "Oto-sama! Why do you insist on making me look so slow in the morning. Can't you just, you know, slow down for once so I can successfully maim you?" Hikaru said this jokingly. "Why would I go easy on my own daughter? Now, go get changed and ready for training."
Shimetsuki Hikaru. The 'Shi' is short for 'shishi', which is lion. 'Metsuki' is eyes, so thus the surname is 'Lioneyes.' "Hikaru' means to shine brightly. Thus, the name means Shining Lioneyes.

Hikaru, Hinata, and sometimes Kiba would play together as a group with games such as tag and hide and go seek.
She sometimes liked to pull small pranks at school, such as removing the teachers chair and using a bushinn replicate that would disappear as soon as the teacher 'sat' on it. One day during her academy years she watched her father perform his daily training regimen, during which she saw him perform a strange seal that she had never seen before and created a bushinn. Two weeks later, all on her own, she figured out from this how to perform the Kage Bushinn no Jutsu. This created new opportunities, such as making solid chairs that would suddenly move on command and attending class for her while she soaked up the sun just out the window, close enough to maintain the jutsu. She was held back a year in the Academy due to the Hyuuga attempting to frame her father, which caused her home to be the safest place she could be, away from where she could be snuck up on.
About halfway through the Academy, Hikaru finally started something that she had always wanted--she was able to train with her father every other morning. It was because of this that she was able to activate the Shimetsuki before graduating, which earned her the respect of her class and the younger ones. It was due to her low paper scores and being sick on several of the practical that Sasukebeat her out for top spot. Sakura was also better at papers and just as good at practical exams, so she came out as the top kunoichi. She was placed as an extra team member under Yuuhi Kurenai with her childhood friends and Aburame Shino. The bugs creeped her out at first, but she got used to it.
One of Hikaru's most important missions was her first solo mission. The reason this arose was because her team members had left on a mission while she had a cold. The mission was to escort a small family from Konoha to a small village in the middle of Grass Country. The mission was going quite peacefully until they hit the border. It was there that Hikaru had her first encounter with the Sound Nin. Two Sound shinobi in what appeared to be standard uniform approached at night. Even though it was a C rank mission, since it was an unimportant family that she was escorting, there was no expectancy to run into any more trouble than the possible bandit. The explanation for this was first hinted at with the fact that it was only her that was approached while she was taking her night shift of watch. The explanation came into the light fully when they spoke of Orochimaru's interest in her clan. Infuriated, Hikaru fought back with a previously unfound ferocity, angered that anyone would think that she might turn traitor. Eventually, with her sword bloodied and her body slightly injured, she defeated the two shinobi and took their headbands as proof of the encounter to the Hokage. The family was safely escorted, and both the Grass and the Konoha shinobi watched that area closely for a small amount of time. It was due to this that Hikaru resolved to become even stronger and has grown since that point at an almost disturbing pace.
A little after Hikaru turned fifteen, Hikaru entered into the Chuunin Exams for a second time. The first time she had entered was one year prior, but she fell ill during the prelims and was unable to continue. However, this year was different. Hikaru had improved her Honoo Kabe no Jutsu and the use of her other jutsus, particularly the Kage Bushinn, and she made it past the first two tests along with her team mates. When the finals came up, her clan cheered her on as she used all of her strength to get into the match before the final round.
While in the battlefield, Hikaru fought against a shinobi from Hidden Mist Village...a bad match up for someone who primarily uses fire jutsus. After several of her jutsus had been neutralized, Hikaru attempted to attack with multiple shadow clones from many directions, but all of the clones were blocked by a type of water barrier. When Hikaru charged in with sword drawn and Gurekawa by her side was when her match was met. The soon-to-be Chuunin attacked with a swirling cyclone of water and ice, completely defeating the duo, and thus Hikaru was defeated.
While recovering from injuries over the next two days, Hikaru reflected on her inability as a Shimetsuki. The empty hole that belonged to the lions ached and wore on her mind, and she knew that if she had attained a lion bond, she would have been able to be fast and strong enough to dodge the cyclone and rip the shinobi apart.
After returning home, Hikaru fell into a short period of depression: she hardly ate at all, her training lagged, she lost weight, and began to have darkly lined eyes from the lack of sleep. Concerned, her father Hikari asked what was wrong, and Hikaru told him how she felt about her inability as a Shimetsuki and how she felt so weak and like an outcast compared to the rest of the clan. Hikari departed for the Hokage's office, unknown to Hikaru, and requested permission to go on a recovery mission into the Sound with one of his clansmen. Understandable, the Godaime granted permission, and Hikaru and her father successfully obtained the scroll.
Upon returning to the Shimetsuki clan grounds, Hikaru signed her name in blood on the summoning scroll and instantly performed a summons, and thus Kyouto appeared, the perfect lion for an heiress behind on her summoning skills. Hikaru spent day and night trying to learn her clan's signature technique: Ninpou: Yuugou Henge no Jutsu. After several weeks, she had managed several full-fledged merges, thus completing her rites of passage as a Shimetsuki. Hikaru no longer felt out of place, and when she entered the exams a third time at 16, she passed with flying colors.
RP Example:
Hikaru was having a very nice dream concerning a certain shinobi of Konoha when she awoke. It was such a nice dream! How dare anyone interrupt it?!! Hikaru opened her eyes, which glowed with a golden venom and looked for the interloper, who was in the form of an ANBU uniform with a lion mask running in the opposite direction. With her eyes narrowed to angry slits of light, Hikaru bounded after her assailant out of the manor and through the Konoha rooftops-she was grateful she wore modest pjs.
Twenty minutes later, the pair slowed down into a clearing near the clan grounds, and the mask of the ANBU was removed to reveal a face not too unlike the nature of the animal on it, and it was grinning from ear to ear. "Oto-sama! Why do you insist on making me look so slow in the morning. Can't you just, you know, slow down for once so I can successfully maim you?" Hikaru said this jokingly. "Why would I go easy on my own daughter? Now, go get changed and ready for training."
