Yuri (Lavi)

is a jōnin of Sunagakure and a member of the Ten Ninja Braves of the Hidden Sand. She is infamously known as the because of her unorthodox plethora of jutsu.

Background
Unknown to most individuals, Yuri passed away at the age of 15 as part of the ritual to become a witch. Being technically deceased, Yuri could perform techniques that would incapacitate or kill most other individuals. However, Yuri must regularly refresh her body's state of being every week or else she would turn to ash.

She spent the previous twenty years prior to Rebirth in self-imposed exile within the deserts of the Land of Wind. Bunbuku Chagama visited her hut, imploring her to provide her skills to his ninja braves. His insistence eventually won Yuri over, becoming the tenth member to join the braves.

Yuri was among the ten jōnin who accompanied Bunbuku Chagama in his quest to retrieve Shukaku. They were successful in capturing the tailed beast and Yuri was immortalized as a hero of the Sand Village as a result of her efforts.

Personality
Yuri believed that her extreme age would give her a degree of respect from the so-called urchins around her. Blatant disrespect or disregard towards her would place them at the mercy of her normally-harmless so-called hexes, such as changing the pitch of her offender's voice to comically high levels.

Appearance
Yuri is relatively short in stature and youthful in appearance. She has teal colored hair that reaches to her shoulders and wears a jeweled headdress.

As a witch, Yuri can create a near perfect imitation of other individuals while she is in the Lazarus pool and maintain that appearance as long as she desired.

Witchcraft
Although Yuri is virtually impossible to kill, being already dead, she does not possess the ability to regenerate. She could be maimed and rendered incapable of fighting, though Yuri ensured that her companions possessed means of recollecting her pieces so that she could reconstruct her body in a Lazarus pool. Yuri was also capable of impersonating other individuals by modifying the reconstruction of her body while in the pool; with enough information, she could imitate the voice and mannerisms of others on top of the appearance.

In the case that her body is destroyed beyond reasonable recovery, Yuri devised a device that would collect her chakra residue to be returned to the Lazarus pool. It takes the form of a glass ball that can fit in the palm of a hand. It does not have any capacity to preserve Yuri's conscience and only serves as a mode of transport while Yuri waits to be returned to the Lazarus pool. She has shown the ability to speak while contained within the ball, but she does not have the ability to interact with anything outside her vessel.
