Personality
Mizuki is a very cunning and sharp minded person. She has a very cheerful and easy go lucky view to life. But she can become very serious when the situation calls for it. She is very kind and is always willing to help others out in any way she can. She is a very honourable person and has a very strong sense of honour and justice.

She treats people in a kind and respectful manner. She is gives her elders and superiors the respect that is due to them and treats those younger than her with kindness and patience.

History
Mizuki was born to two Konoha shinobi. From a very young age her high intellect was apparent. She joined the academy at the age of 8 as she spent the extra year training with her father to learn to control her Steel Release. She graduated the very next year. During this time she became friends with S. After graduating they were both put in the same genin team and their friendship became even stronger. She continued to impress everyone with her smart mind and amazing analyzing ability. She participated in numerous missions with her genin team. It was at this time that her Jonin instructor advised her to specialise in Genjutsu due to her high intellect and fine chakra control. After two years she took part in th Chunin exams and passed. She then often lead her own team into various missions. During these missions she gained an ever increasing reputation for her amazing strategies. Soon she had even caught the eyes of the Hokage and Daimyo. After taking part in a particularly tricky mission and performing much better than expected she was promoted to jonin at age 15.

Abilities
Mizuki is a master tactician who often tries to avoid battles as much as she can. She specialises in Genjutsu though on activating her Steel Release she can use Taijutsu with considerable proficiency.

Tactician
Mizuki has a very high IQ level. Due to this she is considered as one of the smartest people living in the Land of Fire. She has the ability to come up with strategies very quickly and can access a situation and come up with the most strategically sound course of action. She can read an enemy’s movements and techniques and come up with a weakness or a way to counter their attack.

Genjutsu
Mizuki is a genjutsu specialist using techniques such as the Lightning Illusion: Flash Pillar with ease. She is known to employ genjutsu techniques in layers so that even if her victim breaks out of one illusion they are still under another one.

Nature Transformation
Mizuki has shown great mastery of her natural affinity towards earth chakra, and is capable of using several high-level earth-based jutsu without hand seals. She can use earth chakra to create walls as a means of defence as well as use it for attack purposes. She also creates clones of herself using the Earth Clone technique. Having also mastered lightning based chakra, she is also capable of using several lightning based jutsu. She often uses Lightning Release Shadow Clone, which allows her to create a shadow clone infused with lightning chakra. This enables her to study an enemy’s techniques and fightning style before directly engaging him or her in battle.

Steel Release
Mizuki was born with the unique kekkei genkai nature Steel. This chakra nature or release allows her to turn a part of or entire body into black steel, making her invulnerable to almost all form of physical attacks and weapons. The Steel Release: Impervious Armor greatly increases her defence abilities her strength. But her speed seems to decrease a bit. She often turns her palm into steel and uses it as a blade, calling this as Steel Release: Black Blade. One of the drawbacks of the Steel release is that it drains her chakra reserves. Though her high chakra levels allow her to use the Steel Release, she keeps its use in reserve so that it doesn’t drain her chakra before the fight is over.
