Appearance: Blades is a tall, young looking woman standing at six feet tall, with deep, hazel eyes and long, dirty blonde hair with bangs. They sport a toned, lithe build, showing that while she trains herself, she's still rather light and wimpy in comparison to most; and she boasts a large scar diagonally spread across her back, at about six inches long. Her skin is also fair in complexion.
History: Blades story starts with her being born with one of the worst diseases any Shinobi could have possibly entered the world with; an extremely rare defect, not seen in thousands of years, as of now called 'Ueta Chi' - Starving Blood. At first, before her chakra would mature upon growing up, Blades was able to live a relatively normal, happy life. Over time, however, it became apparent to both her grandparents, and any others she interacted with in the village, that her body was premature compared to most, and deteriorating as though she had come down with the plague. When she hit the age of five, right as she was beginning to learn more about the tales of great Shinobi and the world itself, she would be thrown into an emergency care unit under the care of Medical Ninja, after she attempted to try and use her chakra, as her instructed. This brought to light what was happening; her own blood boiling, reacting violently to her own source of chakra. It seemed to hunger for it, causing intense pain in the process; hence the name, Starving Blood. A solution was thought up, using artificial blood capsules to combat the defect, but it was only enough to prevent the disease from outright killing her... leaving her weaker than the average Academy Student.
That being said, before those eleven years passed, Blades would constantly try to improve and train herself, physically and mentally, so she could eventually be allowed to join the Academy. But this never seemed to help much other than that. Her second try at something fun and interesting to her was the craft of weaponry, as well as the study of botany, so she began to read up on all she could and see if she could become a blacksmith or alchemist, maybe an apprentice. While she had suburb chakra control - allowing her to deal with Medical Ninjutsu, and even the more archaic art of Fuinjutsu - her disease made it clear that the less chakra-intensive actions she could take would be more beneficial. Eventually, graduation day happened... and she barely passed.
From then on, she did her best to be helpeful as a genin. Being too physically impaired to really give their services to that of being a top tier shinobi, Blades instead focused on the other skills she developed during her time studying; crafting. Maybe she wouldn't become a strong, proud kunoichi, but she could supply the masses with not only the bare necessities, but create medicines and tonics to cure the sick, create plans for buildings, and forge weapons of legendary status. It was better than giving up on life because she couldn't play ninja correctly. Though she was still a novice at the time, through time and dedication, by the age of twenty, the young woman has established a small shop in Kirigakure, that goes by the name 'The Crafting Gardens'.. though, it doesn't get her much money right now. This comes from the fact she doesn't limit herself to a single profession in terms of creating commodities, though most will come here for her weapons and herbal remedies, the latter of which is supplied by a very small, self sufficient greenhouse. As for her conditioning, with the combined efforts of physical therapy and the effects of various herbs, tonics, creams, washes and medicines, though her body was still not completely normal, she has managed to keep herself looking sufficiently beautiful for a woman her age, albeit with her looking constantly tired.
Personality: Blades has a softer demeanor when it comes to handling her problems, preferring that no one even knows she’s there when she appears to help others. Being the shadow that watches over the people, with elegance and a stern hand; that is her method, her determination, and her will. Beyond that, she’s actually quite goofy outside of her quiet persona, tending to be very socially awkward and not knowing what to say a lot of the time. She makes up for this with her kindness, for she attempts to empathize with just about anyone she meets, and reassures others in the way she wishes she had most of her life, to make sure they don’t feel too bad. There are, however, two parts of her that extend off of her subdued mannerisms; her apparent attraction to poetics, and her wits. For whatever reason, she has a knack for trading words and philosophy with people she just met, whether it matters or not. Meanwhile, she can not only be crafty when the time arises, utilizing just about anything in the room or her brain to compete with his obstacles, or will nonchalantly reference popular media as though it’s ‘real’ to confuse anyone around her. Finally, her will to live combines with throwing herself in the line of fire for anyone in need.
As for the less flattering parts of her personality, gaining her ire turns him into a much more spiteful, passive aggressive person. Although she believes in second chances, those that screw up beyond her imagination are met with someone who’ll stop at nothing to put you in your place, to the point of being excessively cruel. She also is quite dense, and will sometimes not understand very simple ideas. Finally, she’s not a fan of giving away her most precious secrets without significant reasons otherwise, nor is she a fan of people hiding their secrets, hypocritically. There’s a lot of power in the unknown, after all; and her whole thing is supposed to be that no one knows absolutely everything about her. Finally, she’s a pushover for the pretty people.
