Background[]
Yudoku's early years unfolded amidst the tranquil embrace of the Kamizuru clan's vast agricultural domain within the Stone District. As the head of the Kamizuru clan, her father bore the weight of overseeing the cultivation of vital crops that sustained the village. Yudoku's mother, a skilled apiculturist, managed the hives of bees, wasps, and hornets, ensuring the abundant production of honey and the procurement of venomous insects used in medicinal and poison-making arts.
However, tranquility rarely persists in the life of a shinobi. When Yudoku was on the verge of genin age, a dreadful calamity befell her family and the entire Kamizuru clan. This tragedy, shrouded in shadows and linked to the clandestine world of ninja, would forever alter Yudoku's life's course. Her father, the bedrock of their family and clan, perished under mysterious circumstances during a village mission. Her mother, overwhelmed by grief and burdened by her own secrets, succumbed to a severe illness shortly afterward.
Suddenly, Yudoku found herself thrust into an unforgiving role as the de facto head of the Kamizuru clan, despite her tender age. The enormity of her responsibilities weighed heavily upon her shoulders. Managing the sprawling agricultural estates, tending to the complex ecosystem of insects, and upholding the clan's tradition of venom-based arts became her solemn duty.
In addition to the agricultural aspect, Yudoku's clan oversaw a vast medical garden, where various herbs and plants with potent medicinal and poisonous properties were cultivated. This sacred garden had been tended to by the Kamizuru clan for generations, and Yudoku had to ensure its continued prosperity and safeguard its secrets.
As Yudoku assumed this role with unwavering determination, she became known as a young prodigy in agriculture and apiculture, adeptly handling the pollinators and the venomous insects. Her understanding of plants and insects deepened, and she uncovered the hidden intricacies of using these resources for both healing and harm. Her abilities rendered her indispensable to the village, but they also attracted the attention of those who sought to exploit her knowledge.
Amid the whispers of betrayal and treachery that now surrounded her, Yudoku learned to navigate the intricate web of Stone District politics while striving to protect her clan's legacy. Her life had taken a tragic turn, but her resolve remained unbroken. She was determined to ensure the Kamizuru name endured, that their agricultural and medicinal contributions thrived, and that the secrets hidden within their garden remained sealed.
This is the harrowing tale of Yudoku Kamizuru, a young heiress thrust into the role of clan head at a tender age, burdened with preserving her clan's ancient traditions and safeguarding their agricultural and medical legacies.
Personality[]
Before the death of her parents, Yudoku was a bright, always smiling, joyful and very acquisitive little girl. She was bubbly, following her parents around as they cared for the colonies. So very serious of learning from her mother and father to be not just an exceptional beekeeper, but an asset to her village. She wanted to help her villiage prosper and it was that attitude her parents instilled in her to be caring and courteous but swift, agile and ready for anything.
She wasn’t ready, however, for the sudden and mysterious death of her father and then tragic death of her mother.
The change in her was quick. She knew she couldn’t waste any time grieving the loss of her parents. She was the head of her clan. She was in charge of keeping the colonies safe and making sure the villiage prospers. She now trusted no one. Her heart turned to stone and words sharp as knives, Yudoku would become cold. It’s business first now. There’s no time for fun or laughter. This is her life now. This is her duty.
Appearance[]
While most people might find being short to be a hinderance to performance and capability, Yudoku uses her toned yet slender figure of on 5’3, with speed and accuracy. Her light weight of 115lbs makes it easier for her to maneuver around sudden obstacles and be light on her toes, Her caramel skin almost always sparkles under both the sun and moonlight thanks to always being covered in pollen. Her purple eyes look dark and cold during the day but seem to lighten and brighten up as the moon rises. You could almost see that little girl again, the girl before the leader. Every morning she would braid her chocolate brown hair like her mother used to before going out to train.
She had small scars all over her body from the private training graciously given to her by Queen Bee, the giant mother be she signs a contract with shortly after her parents’ death.
Additionally, every leader of the Kamizuru Clan undergoes a tattoo ritual where 3 honeycombs are drawn and etched into her skin next to the outside corner of each eye. The tattoos symbolized the dedication and responsibility Yudoku agrees to undertake. This young, petite girl, of only 13 years of age was suddenly no longer a child but a leader.
