Shishi Honpou

Shishi Honpou is a former terrorist and current mercenary. Having defected from the village of Jikanogakure, Shishi set out to find some sort of purpose in her life. During this time, she was abducted by the Black Crown and was warped into a weapon to use as a last resort, her humanity stripped away until all she could feel was hatred and anger, the two most vital emotions that spur killing. For the longest time, her humanity was trapped in the deepest confines of her mind, imprisoned and broken. It took the intervention of Inochi Yamanaka to finally free her mind. Thankful for finally gaining her sense of humanity back, Shishi travels with Inochi in the hopes of redeeming herself by fighting back the very force that turned her into a weapon.

Background
Shishi was born seventy four years ago in the village of Jikanogakure, a flourishing village that was still recovering from the attacks from the Fourth Shinobi World War. When she turned ten, she was enrolled in the Academy, where she gained high marks thanks to her skills in taijutsu. While she was somewhat lacking in the other departments, she was quick to pick up on what she needed to learn and nonetheless passed the academy with flying colors. When she became a Genin, she was tasked with some of the more difficult missions due to both her skills, and the skills of her teammates. They passed these missions with flying colors thanks to their willingness to cooperate with one another. This would become vital in the Chunin Exams, where they managed to make it to the semifinals, but couldn't quite get into the finals themselves. Regardless, their incredible skills shown in their missions and in the Chunin Exams allowed them to become Chunin. Some time after, the village of Jikanogakure was forming a battalion specifically for fighting off forces like those seen in the preceding war. At the age of sixteen, Shishi was recruited to become one of its first captains. Seeing this as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Shishi accepted the position. During this time, a war was beginning to break out. A terrorist threat known as the Black Crown were attacking vital locations, including the Kage Summit, where many Daimyo and innocent civilians lost their lives. The village of Otogakure was leveled to the ground, with no trace of the village left. Shishi was one of the instrumental forces in pushing back the tide, alongside the Jikanokage's parents, the Daimyo and his assistant. They pushed the Black Crown back in a decisive victory that left them shattered, destroying what resistance they had left before they had the opportunity to revive the Shinju. Shishi's skills earned her the respect from both the Jikanokage and the Daimyo of Time, and they made her part of the royal guard. After the war was over, she was able to enjoy a decent period of peace.

But this peace would not last. The village of Jikanogakure would find itself trapped in a dimension between space and time. While time itself wouldn't be as spread out to them as it would to the outside, they were gone for a very long time. Dorutan, the Daimyo of Time, devised a way to push through the dimension and return the village back to reality. While this was happening, Shishi grew distraught over the fact that this wasn't a force she could fight back, and she felt useless. When Dorutan finally managed to break out of the dimension, Shishi took this opportunity to leave the village. Before doing so, however, she stole an experimental suit of armor that the village's research division was working on, leaving a note behind saying that she'll return one day when her mind is in the right place again. From there, she left the village behind and began traveling on her own. As she traveled, she was knocked unconscious by a sudden blow to the neck. When she came to, she found herself in a dark room surrounded by figures that all seemed to form the points of a crown. When they told her they were going to make her into a weapon, she refused, saying she works alone. But they weren't going to let her go. Instead, they warped her mind, stripping most of her emotions away, taking away her very humanity and locking it into the deepest confines of her mind. They then sent her off to a small village that was hosting a famous singer. Followed by many forces of the organization known as the Black Crown, they attacked the village, killing many people. One of them was targeted for her skills in Earth Release and for the fact she was a Yamanaka. While Shishi wouldn't partake in this battle, she observed the Yamanaka as she fought back the enemy forces and escaped the village.

Using this as an opportunity, Shishi began tailing her to a village on the outskirts of the village that was destroyed. Taking a day to scout around the village, she began the attack by having a contention force begin the assault to lure Inochi out. While the combatants proved a worthy foe for the Yamanaka once they merged into a giant, she was able to subdue them thanks to her embodiment with the Earth, and then buried them deep in the earth. Using this opportunity in the belief the Yamanaka would have been fatigued by her fight with them, Shishi started the offensive, but noticed her usage of Muai Boran, a martial art she was skilled in, but it  seemed her opponent was much more skilled. Shishi would find herself subdued by the Yamanaka. While unconscious, the Yamanaka entered her mind and introduced herself as Inochi, and opened up to her, helping her troubled mind be more at ease. This helped Shishi become more comfortable in telling Inochi who she is and who she was working for. While this was going on, Inochi was slowly breaking away the bonds that the Black Crown put on her mind, until eventually her mind was free, and her emotions were able to return. Eternally grateful for Inochi's interventions, she became the Yamanaka's partner in the hopes of finding redemption for her acts by fighting the very force that made her into a weapon.
