Raian Uchiha

Raian Uchiha (うちは手梁, Uchiha Raian) is the grandson of Ryun Uchiha, the son of Serana Uchiha; the Sixth Yamakage and the head of the Uchiha Clan. He is the primary protagonist of Part II of Enken.

Background
Born to the Uchiha Clan in Yamagakure, Raian is part of the second generation of the Uchiha since it was restored by his grandfather, Ryun Uchiha, following the. His youth, however, differs greatly from that of his grandfather or his mother. While both of them were extremely gifted and talented from a young age, Raian was considered the "black sheep" of Ryun's line, by his uncle, Tobichi Uchiha.

It took Raian until the age of ten to become a Genin and he did not become a Chūnin until the age of seventeen, while both of his ancestors graduated and were promoted very young. As a descendant of Ryun and the son of the Yamakage, Ryun was chosen to become the of Datara - the Ten-Tails. He had the beast sealed within him shortly after becoming a Genin. Shortly after becoming a chūnin, Ryun awakened his Sharingan through yet undisclosed means.

Appearance
Though he is his grandson, Raian looks nothing like his grandfather Ryun and doesn't even resemble his mother, Serana, in appearance. Physically, he is actually more similar to his uncle, Tobichi. Like most Uchiha, he possesses short black hair. His hair, in particular, is noticeably wavy. He also possesses the standard Uchiha onyx-colored eyes, inheriting these from his mother. Most of the time, he wears a normal high-collared white shirt and a tie; similar to the attire of Yamagakure Academy students. Occasionally, however, he can be seen in the worn by the normal chūnin of the village.

Personality
Raian possesses a rather flamboyant and sarcastic personality, which is in stark contrast to his serious mother and lazy uncle. As noted by many people in the village of Yamagakure, Raian possesses two very different personalities depending on where is at. At home, around his mother, he is quiet and reserved; choosing not to say much and to stay to himself. In public, however, his entire demeanor changes. He becomes loud and sarcastic, but is generally likeable to most villagers.
