<> Look <>
Hair: Shinobu has long, dark brown hair that reaches a little past her shoulders. She typically wears her hair loose, but before entering combat she usually ties it up into a high pony tail.
Eyes: Shinobu has brown, wide eyes that seem to bore into people when she is looking at them.
Build: For a girl, Shinobu has a sturdy figure rather than a delicate one. She has an average body type for a girl her age, but she has developed muscle and upper body strength from her training. Like all teenage girls she's self-conscious about her figure but she would never admit that.
Voice: Shinobu's voice has a fiery, arrogant edge to it, and overall she's rather loud. Her voice is rather effeminate and slightly high-pitched.
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 130 lbs.
Clothing/appearance: Shinobu is somewhat of a tomboy when she dresses casually, preferring to wear jeans and shirts rather than something feminine because she's afraid she wouldn't look good and would come off as frivolous if she wore something effeminate. The only skirt she wears is her school uniform, or if there is a special occasion.
Inventory/accessories: (watch, wallet, phone, etc.)
<> Self <>
Personality: Impudent, stubborn, and artless are the words that frequently come to mind when one thinks of Shinobu Ara. She has a rather rough personality and doesn't let things slide by so easily. She calls people out on their bull shit and she likes to give others a hard time. As the youngest child and only daughter, Shinobu grew up getting her way one way or another. She's not exactly spoiled, but she's incredibly stubborn and tries to make everything go her way. And even though she seems aggressive and assertive, Shinobu does doubt herself and her abilities a lot and works hard to improve herself so that she can be strong enough to protect who and what she loves.
Although she's infamous for her bad points, she also has her good points. She's known to be loyal and kind-hearted, though one might have to look a little harder to see her kindness because she berates even the people she likes. She seems stupid because she lets her temper get the better of her at times, but she's surprisingly clever. It is also against Shinobu's morals to back down from a challenge, too, and she would never leave someone high and dry.
Likes: Coffee, animals (especially dogs and horses), cook-it-yourself restaurants such as okonomiyaki and Korean BBQ, food in general, the winter time, gambling, being active, and the color red.
Dislikes: Being told what to do, frivolous people, cigarettes and cigarette smokers, doing homework, being called 'one of the guys' or being compared to as a 'guy' which happens to her a lot, and losing.
Ambitions/Goals: Shinobu's dream is to become a high-ranking official in the military, preferably a general like her father, his father before him, and her ancestor. None in the woman in her family have ever attained that kind of position or even fathomed a position in the military, but Shinobu has always wanted to be in the military ever since she was a little girl. Overall her dream is to be a strong, reliable person throughout her life.
Habits/Mannerisms: Having a cup of coffee as soon as she wakes up (otherwise she's a demon), pulling her hair back when she's about to fight, and glaring at people as if she's looking right through them.
Strengths: Unyielding personality, handling her naginata, riding, and faces things head on
Weaknesses: Coffee, gambling, doesn't know when to quit when she should, and hand-to-hand combat

<> Background <>
Support:
Ara, Osamu: Osamu is Shinobu's father and the head of the Ara clan. He is a retired general. He seems rather strict and frightening but he clearly loves his family.
Ara, Chinatsu: Chinatsu is Shinobu's mother. Her marriage to Osamu was arranged by their parents, but she fell for him all the same. She has a sweet disposition and a quiet nature, but when she is angry her husband, sons, and daughter all cower under her.
Ara, Noburu: A studious, diligent, and somewhat uptight guy. He is Shinobu's eldest brother and was in the Naval forces. During the attack on their home, he suffered severe burns and had to retire early.
Ara, Masanobu Shinobu's second eldest brother who is a decorated member of the police force. He has become estranged from the family ever since he had a falling out with his father, Osamu.
Ara, Nobuyuki: Shinobu's third eldest brother who was two years older than her and her best friend. They were inseparable as kids and caused all kinds of mischief for the rest of their family. Nobuyuki died in the fire trying to save their grandfather.
Ara, Naomasa: Shinobu's grandfather and the father of Osamu. He was a kind old man and was also a general back in his prime. He died in the fire along with Nobuyuki.
Hige: Shinobu's mount, an old and trusted chestnut gelding with an easy-going personality.
History: Shinobu was born the only daughter and youngest child to a proud and well-respected military family in Nagano. Shinobu's father is a retired general and now owns a ranch. She has three older brothers, all of whom showed military prowess and made something of themselves. Being the only girl and the baby of the family, Shinobu's mother doted on her as if she were a favorite toy. Shinobu was the princess of her family. Even though she was dressed in frilly clothes and treated like she was made of glass, it was clear that she was interested in less girly things.
Eventually Shinobu's mother relented and allowed her daughter to follow what made her happy. Perhaps because she had a brother who was only two years older than her, she loved to rough-house and had mannerisms similar to a boy. Like her father and brothers, she grew to be proud of her heritage and had a sense of duty to uphold the family name by becoming a part of the military like her brothers.
