Forum:Asuna Yūki: Ice Release

Questions
1. Please indicate which of the kekkei genkai or kekkei tōta you are applying for.
 * A) Dust Release
 * B) Ice Release
 * C) Shikotsumyaku
 * D) Wood Release

2. How is your character able to obtain this kekkei genkai? Please detail this below.
 * Asuna Yūki is one of Orochimaru's experiments for immortality. As Orochimaru wants to live forever so as to master all jutsu, he also needs access to certain bloodlines so as to gain some of the more rare or esoteric techniques.  However, after the blood purge, most remnants of the Ice Release were brutally slaughtered alongside the other Kekkei Genkai.  Orochimaru was able to find a member of the Yuki clan, a young woman named Ayaka.  Orochimaru, knowing of her hatred for the village hidden in the mist due to the blood purge, he was easily able to convince her to mate with a man trapped by Orochimaru in a genjutsu in exchange for promising to destroy the village hidden in the mist.  Shortly after giving birth, Asuna's mother was killed by Orochimaru, who had no intention of upholding his end of the bargain.  Despite this, with her dying breath, she wished that her child would become the instrument of destruction for all that she hated, including Orochimaru.

3. How will your character awaken this kekkei genkai? How will they realize they can use it?
 * After "escaping" Orochimaru's clutches, Yukiko wandered about for a time. Eventually, after finding a "real" teacher, she discovered her ability to control what forms water took, especially the transition between liquid and ice...

4. Briefly detail what your plans are, at the moment, for your character if he/she is approved for the selected kekkei genkai? What will they do with it? How will they improve or utilize it in a fashion that is unique to them, rather than a rehash of canon character usage or maybe even other fanon characters?
 * As Asuna lacks any affinity for close-range combat, she mostly uses Ice Release to assist at keeping her opponents at a distance. Eventually, after gaining some training in close-combat from a "real" teacher (as opposed to Orochimaru who specifically made sure to not teach her any close-combat techniques), she'll eventually work in some form of Ice Release into her fighting style for close range combat.  Also, as she knows no medical jutsu (yet), she often will cover or seal a wound with ice so as to stop the bleeding.  While not an effective method, it is still a successful one, having helped her to survive some of her harder fights...

If any more details are needed, please let me know. Also, thanks to Kazeyo for his assistance rewriting my character. --E&#39;Athanata (talk) 04:38, September 19, 2013 (UTC)
