1. Please indicate which of the kekkei genkai or kekkei tōta you are applying for.

Wood Release for Amashitenshō

2. How is your character able to obtain this kekkei genkai? Please detail this below.

It is apart of her bloodline. She who was born from the earth itself, a being that has no recollection of what she was prior. For she was once a Yama-no-Kami, a goddess of the forest who bent it to her will and shaped it in her own image. In revenge she was put to sleep and left to await the centuries past, until either she was unsealed or could find the power to awaken herself. She succeeded in the latter, awakening in her current form, freed from the eternal sleep that threatened to consume her. As a consequence of her sleep and the seal placed on her, she is significantly younger, while losing the memories of her time as a deity. Yet she retains her ability to use the wood, and with it seeks to find an answer to the void she feels in her life. 3. How will your character awaken this kekkei genkai? How will they realize they can use it?

As a goddess of the forest and earth, she always maintained the ability to manipulate wood. This did not change when she was sealed/put to sleep by vengeful clans of the massive forest and land she controlled. In fact, it was her KG and its strong connection to the earth that proved to be the ultimate undoing of the seal placed on her.

4. Briefly detail what your plans are, at the moment, for your character if he/she is approved for the selected kekkei genkai? What will they do with it? How will they improve or utilize it in a fashion that is unique to them, rather than a rehash of canon character usage or maybe even other fanon characters?

Well, she will utilize it for her own purposes, namely the practical parts that were shown in Yamato's usage of the Wood Release. However, she will use the KG and its jutsus in an offensive and defensive manner as well, particularly when she is fighting or dealing with a powerful enemy. However, what's most important is that Wood Release serves as a link to her, a link to memories that were taken away from her. Thus it serves both as her tool to gain those memories back and as a reminder of why she is continuing to search the world for what happened.
