I greatly appreciate your suggestion and advice, Shads, but to be honest, the thing is I don't want to change her story. Kimi is either accepted into the FC with as she is or I'm not having her there, so a single denied app means I won't be participating in the FC, at least with her.

I understand it's your view on how shinobi should truly act and I'm alright with that, but you focus too much on the core aspects of shinobi for my tastes. Historical shinobi revolve around deception and subterfuge, I get it, but these aren't historical shinobi, nor made to be like them. Shinobi in the narutoverse are more all-around warriors than real shinobi. While certainly a large part are spies and assassins like real-life ninja, we've also seen shinobi acting as guards, front-line soldiers, medics and even school teachers and caretakers. Stealthy and surprise attacks are methods preferred by any smart or experienced warrior over direct confrontations, but it doesn't necessarily mean they need to be assassins to accomplish such tasks. As such, while narutoverse shinobi are indeed also educated in these arts, they essentially should be able to fill any role handed to them. I'm not saying Kimi won't have to resort to these tactics, as she later does become a spy and assassin working for the Land of Lightning and will certainly need them, it doesn't mean it has to fill up a large part of her life as a kunoichi.

Also, if the problem with Kimi's background are the details, point me out where they are lacking, and I'll surely work on them.
