Yune is a touch on the short side at 5’1” with a smaller build further diminishing her stature despite being somewhat athletic. Yune has a rather pale complexion, often burnt on especially harsh summer days.

 

 

Her dark blue hair is kept rather long and is usually only styled just enough to keep it straight and out of her face. Her eyes are a piercing, icy blue color only adding to her cold colored visage and her cheeks are occasionally freckled. 

 

As far as fashion goes Yune can most often be seen in very formal attire, appearing to favor a dark black Kimono, sandals and light amounts of jewelry. Occasionally she can be seen in more casual types of clothing however she generally avoids the public eye in such garb.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yune is naturally a very bright eyed, energetic young woman. Always curiously observing the unfamiliar world her rather sheltered life has kept her from if allowed to present itself. She’s very outgoing and friendly however can have a tendency to fall very quiet when certain subjects are brought up. 

 

This natural personality of hers however has been suppressed by a lifetime of drilling, always being pushed into acting like a traditional, proper spiritual leader. While it’s sometimes allowed to shine through in more casual settings Yune will often catch herself and return to her more reserved state. Appearances are important after all.

 

 

 

 

Yune and her family practice a form of spirituality that combines aspects of Buddhism and Ninshū together. Their primary belief being that, as spiritual leaders, it is their duty to eliminate their own suffering to achieve Nirvana. Then, once Nirvana is achieved, help others through their own journey to achieve it themselves through the use of Chakra.     

   

Their preferred method of accomplishing this is through the use of a Jutsu known as Empathetic Link. This technique puts the caster and the target under a shared Genjutsu that splits in half, and then mirrors any strong emotion or pain one experiences to the other. The end result hopefully being for the two linked to gain a better understanding of one another. In addition to its more spiritual uses, this Genjutsu has also been used to help more easily identify injuries as well as act as a form of pain relief for the individual suffering. 

 

 

 

 

Yune and her family can often be seen tending to a shrine near Konoha. Here they take the role of religious guides for those seeking help as well as both physical and spiritual healers, although they generally ask for “Donations” to perform this latter role.

Yune alone can often be seen studying in the Konoha library. Those more perceptive can see that she’s typically reading through story books, technique scrolls or training manuals. While she’ll happily talk about the former, if ever questioned about the latter two she’ll insist it’s research for her duties and nothing more. 

 

A girl named Yui Tamamo can often be seen at the second training grounds just south of Konoha’s walls. She has a suspiciously similar facial structure and stature to Yune. However, unlike Yune, has green eyes and more color to her skin tone. This same Yui has recently graduated the academy and is now officially a genin.
