Taiga was up a bit earlier than usual. Particularly because she was given a special mission which was unlike the others she had been doing. It appeared she was developing at a fast rate. So fast that the administration noticed her growth and decided to put her attributes to better use. To Taiga this was big news. She was not narcissistic when completing other D-rank missions, though she found the menial labor not entirely beneficial to her or any ninja in general. She questioned why ninja even ran chores in the first place, as a laborer would be much cheaper and even more experience. Regardless, those missions helped her pay off her debt which was still quite large all things considered, but at least a third was paid off and she was proud of that much.
In her room she'd swap out her comfy pajamas for a less comfy set of outdoor clothing. She wore her sandals, tight fitted pants, and t-shirt today which were all black in color. Underneath her t-shirt she wore a mail shirt serving as the only bit of armor she had. She wore a utility belt which carried the bulk of her gear. She had two holsters on either side of her and a pouch around her back side towards the right. On the left side around the back was where she stashed her tanto in its scabbard. Across her body she wore a baldric which carried her wooden staff which served as her primary weapon. On both hands she wore two iron kakute rings, one of her middle finger and the other on her index finger. The spikes were facing inwards to appear as normal rings. Upon closer inspection the spikes had a metallic green tint to them suggesting they were laced with something. This was her basic gear she carried at all times. She saved her sickles for serious confrontations. But today she felt would be relatively easy and didn't need to intimidate anybody by being armed to the teeth.
In a jiffy she was ready to start her day. After a quick breakfast she'd leave her home and take the road to the academy where her mission was set. She'd arrive ten minutes early to ensure she knew where to go. With little effort she found her way around the other side of the building where a chain link marked the perimeter around the outside training area which had a track field for running, a small lot for dueling, and other training equipment fit for small time practice. From this training area it also had a secondary entrance to the academy. Taiga saw what she could only presume was her partner. Either that or a homeless man. He seemed older. Too old to be a Genin by her standards. From her perspective it looked like he was meditating just outside the gate entrance. So either way she had to deal with him.
"Hello. Are you my mission partner for today? I am Taiga Amari." She spoke with the same nonchalant sincerity she did to anybody she met, displaying a neutral first impression and not being enthused nor repulsed. She treated all strangers with the same opportunity to do right. It was only a matter of them acting on it. But that didn't mean she would let her guard down.
