General Description: Heiwa is a very happy and beautiful young lady. Despite the dangers that once filled the land she calls home she has always been found with a smile on her face and a kind word in her heart. Her smile can warm the hearts of even the most coldhearted people, and brighten even the most gloomy of days.
Heiwa stands at fifty eight inches tall (four feet, ten inches) and weighs eighty-five pounds; this leaves her to have a very slender and thin form, yet with enough muscle due to her Taijutsu based training to ensure she is at least somewhat capable of physically defending herself. Due to her being fourteen years old and just coming into puberty she has a slight hour glass shape to her form, and a B-cup bust, leading her to looking slightly feminine.
Heiwa has straight black hair which in the back goes down until it stops about six inches above her waist line. The front portion of her hair ends about eight inches past her shoulders and fades into the back of her hair neatly. Her usual hairstyle consists of her tying the top portion of her hair (her bangs usually) back in a small ponytail at the back of her head while leaving the rest of her long hair down.
She has dark black eyes that are framed by naturally thick black eyelashes. Due to her age, or perhaps general preference, Heiwa does not wear any make-up whatsoever.
Unlike most female shinobi who prefer to show as much skin as they can get away with Heiwa is very conservative when it comes to her body. She prefers to keep herself as covered as possible while also ensuring that she can still move and fight without her clothing getting in the way. Her usual attire consists of layers: a long sleeved net-style top is worn beneath of a one piece outfit: the top portion of this one piece has thick four inch long shoulder straps and done in a typical v-neck style tank top in the front, the top portion leads down to the bottom which is a pair of shorts. Beneath these shorts is a pair of black leggings that led into black boots. Around her waist she wears a red colored belt. Over this she often wears a deep blue colored high collar jacket which goes down far enough to hide her shorts - on the back of this jacket is the Uchiha clan symbol.

About You!
Personality: When Heiwa was a young child, before the world had gone to shit around her and true evil had reared its head and made itself known, she was constantly happy. She was known for being bubbly, barely able to ever keep still. She always wore a smile on her face that even brightened her own stormy black colored eyes. She was the type of child who could see the good in any situation, and could make friends without any effort. She by no means acted like the vast majority of those within her clan: angry and withdrawn all of the time.
She was the sort of person that people gravitated to naturally, her energy pulling them in and making it hard to resist her. Her laughter and smile were infectious, capable of turning even the more sour faced person's frown into a grin. She could make even the worst of situations seem brighter and happier.
When she and her family moved to Kurayamigakure no Sato that personality vanished. She became withdrawn, and barely spoke. There no longer was a smile on her face, but a completely impassive and emotionless mask. Happiness gave way to a total and complete zoned out feeling: she numbed herself to the fear she felt every day both emotionally and physically. She reacted only when needed, but otherwise would sit for hours completely and totally still, staring off into space with the gaze of the condemned.
During this time period it was clear to any who would look upon her that she was simply waiting to die; waiting for her ticket to be punched and the proverbial lights to go out one final time. At times this single want would drive her to extreme action: she would purposely cause trouble, purposely do something that was considered wrong by the standards of those who controlled her village, simply for the hope and wish that this time when they beat her they would finally push it too far and end up killing her.
Of course, that all changed the day that Alec kane and his group rescued her and the rest of the village. It took a while; she was jumpy at first and scared of almost everything: though while those emotions eventually died down. As time passed she became more relaxed. It took a good bit to make her smile, but she was once again able to feel happiness. She went from completely numb to internally peaceful; something that showed easily enough with the vast amount of time that she spent meditating.
There was, however, a flip side to this. When it came time to train she became a completely focused and fierce opponent: to face her was to fight as if your life depended on it. When she wasn't spending time with her twin or meditating she spent it training; sometimes pushing herself to such extremes that her brother would have to carry her home – her single minded goal to become as strong as possible driven by the need to never be the victim again nor allow that to happen to her family and her village. It's also this same drive that causes her to lash out against those who would threaten to do her family harm: she's willingly to do anything to keep them safe as well - even if it means killing to accomplish that goal.
As Heiwa's life continued, and she found a role model to believe in and a goal set in mind, her personality changed once more. Heiwa now appears to exhibit a stern, business-like demeanor when she's on duty, and on missions. She keeps a very professional air around herself, and believes in being a proper example for her village: attempting to avoid making her village look bad. Also she always seems to wear a self-assured smile and is exceptionally polite, especially when dealing with strangers or those she doesn't have a reason to be rude or crude towards.
She easily shows confidence on the battlefield, though sometimes this leads to her taunting and mocking her opponents while fighting. It also leaves her to being a tad bit reckless; leading to her often attempting stunts and moves that others wouldn't dare try due to how dangerous they would be. Off of the battlefield this leads to Heiwa being more then willing to try extreme sports; hiking without proper gear, cliff diving, exploring different caves and a variety of other things.
Heiwa is also shown to have a slightly psychopathic and cruel side especially against those who attempt to mess with her cause harm to her friends and family, or her village. In battle she shows no mercy; she will slaughter any and all who are considered a threat to those whom she holds dear and shows no sort of hesitation when it comes to dealing with them. Torture and inducing pain are not beneath her if the outcome is justice.
Yet, this is not all that Heiwa is. In fact, it's like there are two people in one being when it comes to the child.
When she's not on duty, or otherwise on missions, Heiwa has a very bubbly and happy side to her personality. She likes to be active, and constantly on the go. She's happy almost all of the time, and has a smile that is very infectious. She loves to joke, and goof around, and loves to make new friends and meet new people. She's more than willing to help someone who she seems struggling, and expects nothing in return for her efforts. She's the daughter most parents dream of having, and the most loyal friend in the world.
History: Heiwa was born into a clan with an exceptionally bloody history. A history that she was taught at a very young age by her parents:
The Uchiha clan descended from Indra, the elder of the two sons of the Sage of the Six Paths. Indra inherited the Sage's "eyes", powerful chakra and spiritual energies. When it came time for the Sage to choose a successor, he questioned the two on what course of action they would follow to bring order to the world. Indra believed that power was the way to bring peace, while Asura, the younger son, believed love was the way. The Sage favoured Asura's ideal, and therefore designated him as his successor, causing Indra to be filled with jealousy and hatred. From this hate came what Tobi calls the Curse of Hatred (憎しみの呪い, Nikushimi no Noroi). From Asura descended the Senju clan who would be the eternal rivals of the Uchiha. However, the Uchiha suffered another more dangerous curse: a passionate love that can become a bottomless well of despair the moment the one they care for most is dead.
Before the founding of the ninja villages, the Uchiha were one of the many mercenary clans for hire. Because of their Sharingan as well as battle prowess, the Uchiha clan came to be known as one of the two strongest clans, the other being the Senju clan. Madara Uchiha was particularly powerful, and, upon attaining the Mangekyō Sharingan, took control of the clan. Under his leadership the Uchiha grew stronger, conquering whatever clans they came upon, such that, whenever the Uchiha clan was hired for a job, the opposing side would hire the Senju, and vice versa.
Sometime before Konoha's founding, some members of the Uchiha clan began to willingly surrender, realizing that they were outclassed by the Senju. The Senju later grew tired of the endless fighting, and approached the Uchiha clan with a peace treaty once again. Though rejected time and time before as Madara feared that an alliance would destroy the Uchiha clan, he willingly accepted after witnessing Hashirama's resolve. The two clans came together to form Konoha, with Hashirama Senju, leader of the Senju clan, being selected as Hokage. Madara believed that this was proof that the Uchiha would be made subservient to the Senju, but his clan saw this only as his attempt to rekindle the flames of war. They turned their backs on him, and he defected.
Following Madara's betrayal, having gone into hiding after faking his death in the battle against Hashirama, the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju gave the Uchiha control of the Konoha Military Police Force as a sign of trust. However, this was really just a way of keeping the Uchiha's emotions in check so the village would not end up with another Madara. Over the years, some Uchiha, such as Setsuna Uchiha, came to realise their ostracism and believed that they were being purposely kept out of Konoha's governing affairs. Though Setsuna and his followers tried to rebel against the village as Madara did, they found that it was too late to make a difference, as the Senju had already completely suppressed the Uchiha. Despite Tobirama's attempts, it only caused a greater rift between the Uchiha and the village. The matter grew worse when a young Obito Uchiha, presumed dead at the time, witnessed the death of Rin and became a follower of Madara's ideals.
Years later, after the Nine-Tails' Attack on Konoha, Konoha's elders began to suspect that an Uchiha was behind the attack because of their ability to control the Nine-Tails with their Sharingan. Tobi stated that the clan was forced to live in a corner of the village, ostracised from the rest of the community, and placed under heavy surveillance. This gave birth to ill-will amongst the clan and the Uchiha interpreted this as confirmation of what Madara had warned them of years earlier, and began to plan overthrowing the village. Itachi disagreed with his father's coup d'état plan, and informed Konoha's leadership of what the Uchiha were up to. Shisui Uchiha, who had been told to keep an eye on his best friend Itachi also disagreed with the clan's plan and joined Itachi in his mission to put a stop to it. He attempted to use the ability of his Mangekyō Sharingan: Kotoamatsukami to Danzō from committing the genocide, but once again, Danzō — determined to protect the village the only way he saw possible — stole Shisui's right eye from him. Saddened that he had failed to stop Danzō, Shisui met with Itachi and gave him his left eye before the elder came after it as well, telling him to protect the village and the name of the Uchiha. The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi who had disagreed with the treatment the Uchiha were receiving, tried to negotiate for a more peaceful solution, but as time passed and that strategy seemed to be getting them nowhere, Danzō took matters into his own hands and inveigled Itachi to commit the genocide with threat of his clan's actions creating another war and innocent children, such as his little brother, becoming a casualty.
Within one night, the entire clan was slaughtered with only one known Uchiha left alive: Itachi's younger brother, Sasuke. Sasuke would spend the next few years trying to avenge their family by killing Itachi, something Itachi had planned from the very beginning. After accomplishing this goal, Sasuke learned of Tobi's existence. Tobi, who is in fact Obito Uchiha, another survivor of the clan who was also the one behind the Nine-Tails' attack, told Sasuke about the Uchiha's history and why Itachi had wiped out the Uchiha, prompting Sasuke, with Obito's help, to resolve to destroy Konoha. Sasuke would later be shown the truth by Itachi himself after he was reincarnated.
Following the genocide of the clan, there were three survivors: Obito — then believed to be Madara, Itachi and his younger brother Sasuke whom the former spared from the killing.
Although before the massacre, Madara survived his battle with Hashirama, despite what was widely believed, and kept himself alive with the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path as a life support. He rescued Obito from what appeared to be his death, and would later corroborate with him to carry out his Eye of the Moon Plan.
Ultimately, Itachi died at the hands of his brother — the way he had intended, and Obito seemingly succumbed to the effects of being forced to use the Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique to revive Madara; Kakashi Hatake noted that he can no longer sense Obito's consciousness. However, his life was stabilised by Black Zetsu merging with his being, right up until Madara confronted him in Kamui's Dimension and seemingly ended his life. Madara stabbed Sasuke in the heart, and according to Karin and Tobirama Senju, they could no longer sense his chakra, inferring he died as well. Despite this, Sasuke was saved later by Kabuto.This history was not taught to the young girl so that she would follow on the path so many Uchiha before her had taken, but so that she would avoid it. Her parents did not want her plagued by the anguish and heartache, the violence and the betrayal that so many before her had done. They had seen this with their own eyes, it was their reasoning behind leaving their homeland and coming to Kurayami when Heiwa was just a baby after all, and they did not want this for their daughter nor their son Akarui who was born four years after Heiwa.
Of course, the village that they moved into, along with several other Uchiha who followed them, as well as those whom had been settled there before, found themselves living in hiding. The place was run by a group of Headband individuals who seemed bent on spreading chaos and power. They were like a group of tyrants, though some were definitely powerful enough to make this an issue. For years they kept themselves hidden, not wanting the power of their eyes be known given how popular of a household name the Uchiha clan was.
Even though they were in hiding Heiwa's father took to training his children in a secret underground room of their house; a room he himself had built with his bare hands the first year they had been living in their house. Heiwa's father was a skilled shinobi, and was capable of passing these skills along to his children. He wanted them to be as strong as possible so that they could defend themselves if they ended up in a bad situation, or if one of the Headband group set their eyes on one of them - he was worried what they would do if they saw Heiwa now that she was coming a beautiful young woman.
However, they wouldn't have to hide forever as soon enough a group came to the village lead by an individual named Alec Kane. Alec Kane along with several others took over the village, and released it from the hold of the Headband gang. While Heiwa's family feared at first that they would be worse than those who had come before them it quickly became apparent that this wasn't going to be the case. The village was for once in good hands, and on its way to becoming a normal and powerful village. Jobs became available and Heiwa's father took a position at the dock; he had once been a shinobi but he wanted a peaceful life now free of death and fear. No longer did they have to fear coming out of their homes, nor allowing their clan be known. Children were free to run and frolick and play once more without parents having to fear and worry over their safety.
Now that life is becoming normal, and their village an enjoyable place to live, Hiewa has taken to practicing her training outside, no longer having to hide in the carved out basement her father made. Even her mother, who was likewise a shinobi, has begun to inquire about taking a positoin at the Academy that is in the works; wanting to train any young minds willing to learn. Heiwa meanwhile dreams of becoming stronger; she enjoys to learn and wants to expand her knowledge as much as possible.
RP Sample: "Heiwa! Go find your brother and bring him home. Supper will be ready soon." Heiwa's mother called through the open back door. Heiwa had been busy tending to the garden that they had started recently (it had been quite difficult to find beautiful flowers that would thrive in such a dark place as Kurayami) but she looked up when she heard her mothers voice. A glance around the backyard showed that as usual her younger brother had snuck off once again. He liked spying on those using the training grounds, and they worried constantly the boy would get himself into trouble - or rather Heiwa's parents did, where as Heiwa just thought it annoying she constantly had to be the one to go get him.
"Yes, ma'am.", Heiwa called back, knowing that her mother would be waiting for her to respond as a means to ensure she had heard her correctly.
"When you get home I'll let you have a cookie before supper, but only one.", her mother added after hearing that she had responded. Heiwa's mother knew it annoyed Heiwa to have to constantly be looking out for her little brother, especially when their father was off working at the docks (he was less likely to sneak off when their father was home becuase he could never manage to get away without being spotted given their father had once been a high ranking shinobi himself), so she liked to reward her when she did it without complaint as she was now.
Heiwa just grinned from ear to ear and stood up, dusting off her knees and hands so that they weren't covered in the earth she had been kneeling on and working with. Once she was sure she wasn't all covered in mud and dirt she took off out of the fenced in backyard, ensuring to close the gate door behind herself so that their little dog Pip didn't escape; she didn't want to hunt him down next. Heiwa ran through the Uchiha compoudnd, her usual smile on her face, waving to those who waved to her and picking up snatches of chuckling as she went - her happiness tended to amuse the elder Uchiha's a great deal.
Out of the compound and through the village she continued on until finally making it to the marked off training grounds. The training grounds were broken up into different fields depending on the sort of landscape you were looking to train in, as well as the difficulty and dangerousness of what was being trained. Some of the training fields even had various beasts and such roaming around in, some dangerous and some not, that could be trained on. It was outside of one of these dangerous enclosures that she found her young brother with his hands on the fence looking as if he were halfway through the process of attempting to climb it. Heiwa darted over and snatched a hold of the back of his shirt, holding him back from climbing any higher.
"Let go of me dog breath.""Not a chance butt head. I let you go in there and mom will kick both of our butts.""So don't tell her!", her brother responded as he tugged against the hold she had on his shirt, clearly still intent on climbing up the gate.
"No way am I lying to mom for you! Besides, even if I did lie dad would just find out. That's Uncle Mihao in there! He'll tell dad for sure!" Her brother took a moment to think about this before he carefully climbed himself down until both of his feet were on the ground; which was then when Heiwa let go of her younger sibling.
"Why are you here, dog breath?""It's dinner time, butt head. Mom sent me to find you.""Aw man! She knows I was out of the yard again? I am so grounded!" Her brother whined before taking off in the direction of their home. Heiwa glanced back to the training ground, returning the wave of her uncle who had spotted htem, and then turned and followed after her brother...
