Sada Nakano

Background
Exceptional. As a lady of privilege, she was used to having her way, whether it was attaining a coveted house, or becoming a ninja despite the faint protests of her parents and forebears. Jouju was the girl who had the house on the hill, with the large swimming pool and jacuzzi. Her wealth, or her parents wealth, was the result of getting in while the getting was good, and getting in early. For it was not her parents who ultimately attained the wealth her family enjoyed, but her great-grandparents that had done so. By virtue of them coming to the Land of Focus early, back when the economy was still getting on it feet, they had the flexibility to find something they excelled at and then carve at that niche. In her great-grandparents case, they chose farming and vineyards. Unfortunately for them, the farming didn't pan out, but the vineyards did. They soon were producing more than they could handle in the amount of land they had carve out for themselves, so they began buying up more land around them, expanding until they had satisfied the amount of land they necessary for a large vineyard. And thus we arrive at Jouju's childhood, one where she was continuously groomed to be the heir of the Hankai Vineyards. Given the full name of Jouju Hankai, she was ironically named for the realization of a great ambition, though her parents never realized what the be.

Young and restless, Jouju was never short on ambition, as she always begged her parents to tell more about the family business and all of its inner and outer workings. They finally gave in to her demands, delivering to her room papers and documents on a daily basis of vineyard construction, how to create great wine and sake (they had a side business for that as well), and figures such as profits. She eagerly poured over these in her spare time away from the schooling. Since the Land of Focus didn't have a well established school system (outside of the ninja academy), she attended school in the Land of Beads, learning arithmetic and other practical tools of the trade. She learned how to bargain, the art of give and take, and basic economics. Armed with these tools in hand, she returned back to her home and began using them on her parents. Learning to use persuasion shockingly well for a 10 year old, she was able to convince to send her to the ninja academy in the young village of Ei. Due to her stubborn attitude and willingness to get things done, she graduated the academy at the age of 12, showing a jack of all trades mentality. For while she didn't excel in any particular ninja art, she dabbled successfully in each one, picking up a little bit from each. Once officially assigned to a genin team, she decided to head back home to get her things, as she planned to move into Ei full time. She steeled herself for backlash from her parents, who expected her to return to the vineyard and take over as rightful successor in due time. Little did she know, she would never hear an argument from her parents, not even a faint protest.
