Sayuri Yamisatsu

Sayuri Yamisatsu (屋ミさつさゆり Yamisatsu Sayuri) is an original character created by masquerade5020 of deviantArt.com/FanFiction.net. She is a Special Jonin-level kunoichi in the Akatsuki, and formerly of Konohagakure.

Background
Sayuri was the first born in the fifth generation of the Yamisatsu clan, and is the daughter of Yamisatsu Katsuo and Yamisatsu (Norkio) Hotaru. At the age of six, she began her schooling at the Academy, which she then graduated from at age ten.

From this point, she joined a four-man Genin squad under Hayato Akio, along with team mates Takumi Ren and Haruka Saki, who became her closest friends. Also at this point in time, her father and uncle began working with her extensively to max her skills. She was eager to learn and to please, yet never seemed able to meet their expectations.

At the age of 15, when she reached Chunin rank, she received a clan pendent from her grandmother, as a sign of recognition of her future role in the clan, and was taught by her grandfather their Secret Technique, Glacial Summon. The Jutsu was quite difficult to master, and required a good amount of energy to summon, especially given her age, and proved to be a great challenge for Sayuri. Time and time again, she was unable to peform it correctly, and drew much scorn from her cousins, and eventually, her older relatives. They believed the future head of the clan should be strong from the start, something Sayuri was not.

By 17, she was promoted to the rank of Special-Jonin, and had gained some ground on Glacial Summon - she was now able to call up her summon, though it was far weaker than it should have been. In the late May of this year, she was sent upon a solitary mission to Kirigakure to transfer a record of dealings between the two villages from the past year with Terumi Mizu. On the return trip, she crossed paths with Uchiha Itachi, Nakamura Sora, and Hoshigaki Kisame, who, after a brief debate over whether or not she should live, returned with her to Amegakure.

After a brief council in the prescence of a holographic version of Pain, Sayuri was inducted into Akatsuki as a minor member.

Personality
Soft-spoken, gentle, and rather skittish, Sayuri is not a nin who generally enjoys fighting. She's very compassionate towards her friends and loved ones, and would throw herself in harm's way for them without a moment's hesitation.

During her days on a Genin squad in Konoha, Sayuri was as close as any sibling would be with her teammates, and spent much of her free time with them, either sparring or simply having fun. Her demeanor around her family, however, was not nearly so light-hearted, and was usually much more formal.
