Asuka Uzumaki

Asuka Uzumaki (うずまき明日香, Uzumaki Asuka) is an ANBU-level kunoichi of Konohagakure and a member of Uzushiogakure's Uzumaki Clan, although, she was born in Konoha.

Early Life
Asuka was born in Konoha to parents who were both members of the Uzumaki Clan, making her of full Uzumaki descent.

Ever since very young, Asuka admired her father, Tadashi, who was an ANBU Captain of renowned prestige within the organization, both for his leading and combat skills. As such, Asuka wished to become a powerful ninja as well, maybe even worthy of becoming Hokage. Tadashi recognized her ambition, and promptly started training her at the tender age of 4, teaching her the basics.

As time passed, Tadashi noted that Asuka's speed and reflexes were out of the ordinary for a girl her age, and gradually increased the harshness of her training in order to exploit her strengths and eliminate as many weaknesses as possible, "forcing" Asuka to accomplish her dream. Due to the harshness of her training regime, Asuka spent most of her childhood training in isolation from her peers and teachers, leaving only to attend to the Academy, and after graduating, missions. However, Asuka understood this was necessary for her if she wanted to achieve her dream.

Personality
Due to her education and how she was brought up, Asuka is a kunoichi who has a great sense of duty, but sometimes lets her passion take over and gets carried away, which in many cases does not end well for her. She'll also never give up on her objective or back down from a chance to prove her mettle no matter the cost, a trait she shares with a certain somebody.

Her father's militaristic demeanor has also had some impact on her, which she displays by acting tough and somewhat cold to strangers and people she barely knows, which has caused some people to call her a tomboy. However, her softer and more feminine side usually comes to surface when she's disappointed or distraught by her failures.

Alongside wishing to become a powerful kunoichi from a very young age, Asuka also wants to protect Konohagakure and bring glory to both the village and her clan above anything else.

Quotes
