Anayama

"I am different, yet I'm not."

- Anayama

A dutiful 'Shinobi' who struggles with ki control, and identity issues from others.

Profile
Anayama identifies as Neutrois, keeping a distance from such gender-specific labels and uses a generic term, 'Shinobi' to refer their class. Anayama trains hard to overcome an issue with their ki, or magic in general terms.

Having such a hidden lifestyle ruled by strict traditions, Anayama seeks to make new friends and memories. However, their training as a Ninja makes things difficult, having to keep some information classified for protective purposes.

Background
Anayama was born to an Assassin and a Geisha on the island Nation of Amatsu. Due to the lifestyle of the parents, much of life was spent in secrecy. Anayama grew up and took many influences from their parents, including keeping their emotions restricted, setting goals for the sake of achievement, and showing aggression at a young age. Anayama wanted a chance to explore further details in life, rather than stick to the traditional, closed off lifestyle of the parents.

During this time, Anayama also came to grips with deep personal issues. An androgynous appearance led to much strife, many fights, teasing and uncomfortable questioning. In addition, there was a strong sense of detachment from typical norms, feeling both similar and quite different. It was initially believed to be a "phase", but it had been prevalent throughout Anayama's life.

Driven to discover more about the world, as well as seek out people who live and feel similarly, Anayama decided to mesh parental details for a Job Class. A diligent Novice that got a brief start in Izlude, Anayama turned to the path of the Ninja. Advancing far enough, Anayama's struggle to maintain self-identity took a turn for the worse. Forced to adopt an unwanted label to even advance, the experience of mass ignorance and phobia would prove to be an enduring arch-nemesis. However, the drive to maintain a known self-identity would also persist just as much.

Personality

 * Anayama is a committed person who truly believes in themself. There is also a degree of extreme patience and defiance, developed from having to explain specific details of their identity to those ignorant or stubborn. To this end, they seek to show awareness of the subject to educate and befriend tolerant and/or like-minded open individuals.
 * Through training, Anayama is capable of multitasking and caretaking. They have a pet Wild Rose that was rescued from abuse and nurtured, doing what they could to make up for his lost eye. Yamato follows and snuggles up with Anayama during downtime.

Trivia

 * Anayama cannot and will not use the gender specific skills of Kagerou and Oboro.
