Appearance:
Nariko is a beautiful woman with long, dark brown hair and startling blue eyes. Her stance and posture are perfect and suggest great power. Her skin is rather pale, covering her slim, but wiry and strong frame smoothly. She is rather well muscled and has an air of royalty about her. She often wears black from head to toe. She wears a short shirt that comes down just above her belly button where netting covers the rest of her stomach. Her pants come down just above her ankles with netting to reach down into her black sandals. Her sleeves come to about her elbow and from their turn to netting which disappears into gloves having no fingers. At her back she carries a glaive, a weapon she is most formidable with. She wears a gold ring on her ring finger, hidden beneath the black. On her jacket is the picture of a feather being swept in the wind, the symbol she and her husband, Hiroshi choose to wear. Their headbands are still the Sand Village Headbands and the still wear them around their foreheads, but they have drawn a cross through them, not crossing it out as the Akatsuki, but literally putting an “X” across them…
Personality:
Nariko is nothing that her name suggests. She is cold, ambitious, and cares for nothing but power. She may be a mother, but she is nothing a mother should be. She is always cold and calculating. She was once very different… long before she had reached 10 years of age… But after that birthday, she became obsessed with power without a cause being seen. She is always ready to fight and never admits pain, though she seems to thrive on it. When in pain, she only becomes a cold, controlled angry being with more power and ability than before. She has always believed pain could be your ally… but you could never admit you were in pain. You didn’t share it or it could betray you.
Biography:
Nariko grew up a normal child until she was 10 years of age. No one knows what happened during the end of her 9th year, but everyone is convinced that something did happen. She had disappeared for a couple of months before reappearing about the same time that Hiroshi had disappeared and reappeared… I any case, she was never the same after that, being obsessed with power, ability, finding new jutsu. She wanted to rule, not let others do it.
She grew up and became more and more hateful and power hungry, but disguised it well, coming off as a loyal shinobi all through her training. She was married at the age of 18 to Hiroshi, whom she did and does love, and a year later, she had Akira. She had only wanted Akira so that she and her husband would have an heir to the power that they would receive. Akira would not be weak. Neither parent would allow it. They spent little time with the black haired girl, who possessed red eyes. They only spent time training with her, and this was rather cruel training, causing real pain and making her live with it. Nariko didn’t think of it as cruelty, but as kindness, giving her daughter the best chance. Despite the risk to her daughter’s live, Nariko insisted on her training every day. Only if she were strong was she worthy anyways…
Nariko only remained in the village long enough for her daughter to find a sensei. She was happy it was Kankuro, as he was strong. She left along with Hiroshi that same day, not even waiting for their daughter to return home. They left with no explanation and no intent to return except for when it came time to claim Akira and continue her training.

Anyways, Hiroshi’s history is similar, but also very different…
