Backround
History Kaminari was born almost blind, to an impoverished family. Although it wasn't known then, her mother had postpartum depression, and beacuse no one knew about it, her mother's suicide seemed to come out of no where. She doesn't remember her mother, and she's grown up with just her father, who she respects greatly for ignoring himself and taking care of her. But in his older years it started to wear on him. So she was returning the favor. She used to love listening to stories about her mom, but when that she realized that it hurt her father to tell them, she stays off the subject. Her family hardly ever ventured far from their house, so no one knew them. When her father finally gave up the ghost and died in his sleep, she started leaving the house more and more. Because of their poor status, she'd had to bury her father in her backyard, so she didn't like to be near it. Eventually, she just didn't go back. No one knows why but her and the people she went to. She found out about the Ninja Acadamy and enrolled, thinking it would keep her away from the house a little more, and allowing her something to do. At this time, she was about 10, and she tried her hardest in the academy, achieving the number one spot in her class quickly. But it tired her out. She was hardly aware of what she was doing, and this got her in trouble a lot when she was outside of school. She was shy, so even though she was out in the world more than her parents ever were, she still had hardly any friends. Except one. He was about her age, and much more of a trouble maker in school. His name was Hanatarou.She followed him almost everywhere, for the simple reason that he accepted her, despite her "ghost eyes", as they were called by other children. He also took her home a lot, and his parents were almost immediately attached to her. Through them she found out that Hanatarou was going to die soon, and even he didn't know. When she found out, she went crazy, in a sense of the word, and ran off to tell him.But when she found him, he was face down on the ground. He was already dead, and he didn't even know why. Her best friend/ love interest's death pushed her even harder to grow stronger. She eventually ended up moving in with Hanatarou's family, but she never spoke to them. To her, they were just a roof over her head and food in her stomach. She could care less for the people who hadn't told the most caring boy in the world, their own son, that he was going to die. She modified the way she dressed, though she added a skirt to the style, and acted to correspond with his personality, a constant reminder to his parents of their mistake. Now, she's left them, and lives on her own, has two jobs to pay the rent for her small house, and goes on any mission she is assigned without complaint.

About your shinobi
~ Puts others before herself ~ Has a habit of using -kun, -chan, -sama, etc... honorifics ~ Can be very outgoing, but also serious ~ Personality and form of dress is her own monument/ dedication to Hanatarou ~ Quick thinker ~ Almost always smiles, even if she isn't happy ~ Reserved, not letting anybody get too close to her (even the people who truly care for her) ~ Doesn’t know when to accept defeat, fights ‘til the end even if she has no chances of winning ~ Loyal and protective to those few she considers friends ~ Mostly blind, but she makes up for it in strength, and identifies people by their 'aura' I guess it's called (not sure, but it seems from the Naruto manga not everyone's chakra is discernable) ~ Goes around with her eyes closed most of the time, except at night, when the light can't hurt her eyes as much
Other
Info: Can't think of anything, sorry...
Secret:Just wants to be accepted and cared for the way she was with Hanatarou. Deep inside she's just a shy girl afraid to get hurt and looking for acception like any normal person. It's just the more insecure she feels, the more confident and independent she seems.
Notes: Sorry the history's so long... I like detailed descriptions. I tried not to make it too long, that's why a few of those plot solutions may sound naive and the girl herself may seem too strong and almost invincible at the first glance. But that's not true. Just wanted to let you know.
