Minako Hyūga

Minako Hyūga (日向美奈子, Hyūga Minako; literally "Beautiful Child Towards the Sun") is one of the main supporting characters that surround Koga Tensei. She is a jōnin-level kunoichi that resides in Konohagakure in the Land of Fire, and is the current heir to the main branch of the Hyūga clan. She, like other Hyūga, is a genius at the art of taijutsu, more specifically Gentle Fist. She is also romantically involved with Koga and a character in Naruto - Eigoukaiki.

Appearance
Minako has long dark blue hair, fair skin, and the lavender tinted white eyes that are typical of female members of the Hyūga clan. She typically wears a dark purple dress with straps that are covered in jewels and a belt of the same jewels around her waist. She also has two jewel covered bracelet on her upper right arm, a ruby necklace around her neck, and a brown hat with the Hyūga clan symbol embroidered into it. She is noted to have no known Konoha forehead protector at the present time.

Personality
Minako has taken to heart the lessons of self-sacrifice that has been taught to her by her parents, and throughout her life she has continued to do what was best for the village of whose people she believes in, without even a single thought of herself. Her mother sometimes scolds her for this attitude. She rarely gives in to personal desires, such as at a young age denying to marry anyone in the Hyūga clan as is the clan's tradition, saying that Koga needs her more than any man the Hyūga could produce. She is compassionate, always considering other people before herself, and she stands firm in what she believes in. She is even willing to doubt the Shinobi World in its more recent years, because of how far it has fallen short of its duty. It is partly because of her firm belief in democracy and her genuine care for the people of the Leaf Village that her election to the rank of Jōnin was a landslide. She is also an official diplomat for the Leaf Village and the Land of Fire.

Minako has matured quickly in her life, as evidenced by her quick rise to political heights at a very young age, reaching diplomat status at only fourteen years of age. Though responsible, she is a strong-willed person, who continues to do what she believes to be correct and right despite those closest to her standing against her on some occasions. She follows her own instincts in pleading to the the Shinobi World's help for the Leaf as a diplomat, and to return to the battlefield afterwards to strike out on a limb to unite with several Missing-nin to battle against the enemy. She also refuses heightened security, even after blatant attacks on her life during her time as diplomat, going so far as to disable any security jutsu placed on her.

Her strong will and self-restraint was proven again when she firmly told herself and Koga that a relationship between them would most likely endanger both of their futures; as their clans didn't view relationships such as theirs outside the clan to be profitable. She saw how difficult it would be, and how much it had the potential to ruin their lives, and, through it was difficult for her to accept, she attempted to force Koga to see it as well. However, when she believed that the Shinobi World was truly heading for darkness during the Fire Daimyo Incident, she saw no harm in admitting her true feelings, believing that they could not come to pass. However, when Koga rescues her during an early mission during the war, she and Koga could no longer deny their love for one another.

Though pained by the long separations they had to endure because of the war, Minako kept strong for them both, knowing the great burden placed on both of their shoulders. She believes strongly in Koga, and when she heard of his exploits during the Fourth Great War in the past, she was enthralled, though she remained worried for his safety in the upcoming Fifth Great War.

History
Minako was born into Konoha's prestigious Hyūga clan; more specifically it's Main Branch. Being born first among other Main Branch members, she became the heir to the main branch itself. Because of this, most of her young life was spent training to become the Hyūga clan's leader. Being a year older than Koga, she was three when the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox attacked Konoha, and can remember a few sketchy details of that night.

During the Fourth Great Shinobi War, she made her clan proud by becoming the youngest diplomat in Konoha's history, by uniting the forces of small bands of missing-nin against the Akatsuki to aid the Konoha war effort. At this time, she also fell in love with Koga Tensei who returned her feelings. They were married at the young age of eighteen for Koga, nineteen for Minako soon after the war's conclusion.

Taijutsu and Gentle Fist
Minako, as a member of the famous Hyūga clan of the Leaf Village and heir to it's Main Branch, is one of the most accomplished taijutsu combatants in Konohagakure. Her mastery of the art form of Gentle Fist is so great that she uses it exclusively as her form of combat of choice forgoing the use of elemental ninjutsu and genjutsu altogether. She has been shown to take down large amounts of shinobi soldiers of at least Chūnin-rank with only Gentle Fist.

The Hyūga clan's fighting style takes advantage of the Byakugan's insight into people's Chakra Pathway System. Jūken allows for severe internal trauma with minimal external force as it relies on surgical injection of chakra into an opponent's chakra network nodes, or tenketsu. As the Byakugan can see the 361 tenketsu of the Chakra Pathway System, Minako can use Jūken to not only damage opponents, but control their chakra flow as well. Using the Gentle Fist, Minako can attack her opponent's heart directly and send them into cardiac arrest, killing an opponent with but a single strike. Minako is shown to be able to incapacitate a person with a mere tap to the forehead. Training in the Gentle Fist style implies superior chakra regulatory control and mastery of the human chakra network. As a result, Minako can eject chakra from any tenketsu in her body as a means to slow or impede incoming projectiles. She can also release herself from chakra-based substances using this technique. Continuously maintaining this expulsion of chakra allows Minako create a sensory barrier around himself to detect anything that enters her immediate area, although it rapidly depletes chakra reserves.

Byakugan
As a member of the Hyūga clan, Minako possesses the Byakugan, an ocular Kekkei Genkai which grants her x-ray vision, nearly 360° vision (the Byakugan has a small blind spot at the nape of the neck), and the ability to see chakra networks. Minako, like her cousins Neji and Hinata, can focus her Byakugan's sight to drastically increase its range one direction, up to ten kilometers, at the least. During the Fourth Great Shinobi War, she was able to use her Byakugan to magnify and zoom, effectively seeing every small detail in the area. Using her Byakugan in a similar fashion, Minako even accurately fired chakra needles at small, moving targets.

Fuīnjutsu
Minako also has master of several sealing techniques, most likely due to her mastery of her own chakra system. She can execute these sealing techniques flawlessly, albeit she does need focus.

Telekinesis
Minako is gifted with unusual chakra. Chakra consists of both mental and physical energy, but her chakra contains more mental energy than physical by large amounts. She is therefore gifted with the rare ability to manipulate things with her mind, via chakra. She has invented many new Hyūga techniques that are unique to her due to this unique ability.

Creation and Conception
She was based on many people I know, as well as Padme Amidala of the Star Wars franchise. She was chosen to be a Hyūga because I generally like the Hyūga women more than I do any of the other Naruto series women.
