Saname

is a -ranked kunoichi of and a descendent of the world renowned. As the product of an ill-fated union between a spy and a civilian from the  Saname's prospects in life would have been quite grim had it not been for the timely intervention of the Kiteru clan. While her father, the spy in question, was promptly executed by the village, the Kiteru were able to use their influence to accept both Saname and her mother into the household as legal vassals. This effectively protected the young Saname, who had come to manifest a single, from having her eye stolen or being used by the village as a means to breed a branch of the Hyūga in Kirigakure.

Being fully aware of the narrative illustrating her past, Saname has taken up the challenge of repaying the Kiteru's apparent benevolence by serving them as a loyal retainer. Excelling in the shinobi arts, Saname has developed into a fine kunoichi who possesses a steadfast desire to protect the clan that had shielded her and her mother in the past. This loyalty is primarily demonstrated through her position as the personal bodyguard of Ikari Kiteru, the future head of the clan, with whom she also works alongside in the same squad.
