Name: Sakurazuka Mei
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Power Level: High-tier Medium (6)
Timeline: Naruto Timeline/Flexible
Appearance:
Linked for Size
Personality: Cheerful and ever the optimist, Mei refuses to be told there's no positive aspect to any scenario, but this isn't to suggest she slacks off when it comes time to act. When it comes to a fight, she is a very aggressive combatant with a focus largely on attack and manipulating her own body to improve her defenses rather than raising defensive barriers. This makes her a very physical fighter. Unless they actually see her in combat, most people have a hard time believing she really is a ninja.
History: Mei was born in the Star Village. Her mother had been in meditation most of the gestation due to pains that only the radiation seemed to soothe, and so she was when she went into labor, leaving Mei to be born right into its presence. Perhaps it was because its rays were the first thing she ever felt, or perhaps whatever made her mother's pregnancy painful without it was part of her, but whatever the case, she spent much of her childhood in its presence. She'd frequently slip off and disappear for hours, but after the first couple of months, her parents always knew where to find her, sitting next to the meteorite as close as she could manage like one next to a toasty fireplace.
As she grew older, she entered the Hidden Village's ninja academy like all the other children and quickly showed immense talent in taijutsu and body manipulation. Her ninjutsu, particularly her genjutsu, seemed subpar, but her other skills made up for it. Upon graduating to a Genin, she was sent on a long-term mission to the Honey Country, which she came to know as home after so many years. It was here that she furthered her own technique, eventually becoming the chuunin she is today.
Now that she has learned to release the power of the Ten-Tailed Peacock, she has been able to push herself further than ever before.
Powers: Mei is primarily an aggressive Taijutsu user, but she's also familiar with all the basics taught to most ninja as part of their academy training, and her chakra is enhanced through her near-constant exposure to the fallen star of Bear Nation, turning it a pink/pale purple color. Her signature tricks are primarily special jutsus that focus on enhancing her combat ability. She can use these multiple times or with greater focus for a higher result, but the more she does so, the greater the strain on her body. With the power of the Ten-Tailed Peacock, however, she can negate the strain, allowing her to increase them far further than what her body should be capable of enduring.
Shougeki Insei (Meteor Impact)
An attack jutsu where she jumps high into the air and unleashes the destructive chakra on impact with the ground from her fist, releasing the power in a radius from the point of impact. It's her favored attack to use during Tarento no Genkotsu because she can use her strength to add to its power.
Tarento no Genkotsu (Fist of the Stars)
A physical amplification jutsu that increases Mei's physical strength, causing her to bulk up as her muscle mass expands. The amount of expansion depends on how much chakra is used and how many times the jutsu is utilized.
Kyuuten no Shuppon (Flight of the Heavens)
Another physical amplification jutsu that increases Mei's speed, causing her to become smaller, sleeker and more aerodynamic in the process. As with the others, the amount of chakra used and the number of times it's used determines the degree of amplification.
Suta-Raito Dageki (Starlight Strike)
Her favored attack jutsu while Kyuuten no Shuppon is active. It's an extremely high-speed blitzkrieg where her chakra forms katar-like blades that she strikes with, capable of filling a target with two-thousand holes in a minute.
Hatsuiku Tenpi (Growing Sun)
Another physical amplification jutsu that increases her body's defense by increasing padding, allowing her to absorb more damage. This, like the others, causes physical alterations, this one increasing non-crucial body mass by converting chakra into a rapid increase in adipose tissue under the skin. This does not actually adversely affect her as the adipose is not natural, but formed of chakra. In sufficient quantities, however, it allows her to shrug off some very potent attacks, as well as serve as a barrier to others.
Taiyou Shinsei (Solar Nova)
This attack jutsu is most effective while Hatsuiku Tenpi is active. She expels all of the adipose chakra at once, causing a massive "supernova" of energy. This resets her defensive abilities to normal, but because of its "charge and release" style of attack, it's by far one of her more powerful techniques, particularly when coupled with the increasing defense preceding it.
The Eight Celestial Gates
The chakra circulatory system houses eight valves responsible for regulating the flow of chakra. The Hachimon or eight gates are located along the spine, the heart and in the ninja's head. It is possible to force the body to open these gates, which allows the ninja to release ten times the usual amount of power. Unfortunately such power comes at a price, as each subsequent gate is opened, the ninja increases the damage to their body and comes closer to death. For this reason gate opening has been deemed Kinjutsu. If all eight gates are opened, the ninja gains power that surpasses the Hokage at the cost of their own life. Also even if the ninja opens fewer gates, if they do not strike a finishing blow against their opponent, they will be severely weakened and very defenseless to a counter attack. Mei can now access all eight, and with the regenerative abilities of the Ten-Tailed Peacock, she can do so without costing herself her life.
Equipment: One large shuriken and a sheath full of kunai
Weakness: She's still not particularly good at counter-jutsu.
