Minako Urasabi

"'Memes.'"Minako Urasabi (Urasabi Minako) is a kunoichi from Konohagakure's Urasabi clan, a member of Team 24 and a third year student at Iruka Umino High. She is a Genjutsu specialist with a preference for mid- to long-ranged combat, aside for being recently assigned as the President of the Arts Club.

Appearance
Minako is of average height, taking to his father's slim figure, and long legs to boot. Her face is soft and unweathered, featured two deep green eyes and a small nose above her thin lips. Her blonde hair is long and usually kept untied and messy, as there is no point trying to comb it.

As far as clothing goes, Minako wears light clothes, most of the times following the present trends and fashion. However, she always wears the same pair of brown cowboy boots, even when she uses her signature Profession Jutsu.

Personality
When it comes to meeting people, Minako is as social and upbeat as one could be. In stark contrast to her teammates, she is always optimistic and bubbly, although she lacks the down-to-earth-ness that the other two have. She may come off as annoying at times, but everything she says, or tries to say, comes from the heart. There were a few ocassions where Minako has exchanged a few nasty words with other people, but usually she tries to refrain from such actions.

Minako loves her family and friends, especially Ren Houki and Hirari Hyūga, and will defend them no matter the cost, as the thought of being lonely again terrifies her.

The Clan was formed after the Fourth Shinobi World War and has had been referred to as the "Rising Clan" of the village. Its continuous production of amazing Genjutsu-users made it useful to the village, letting its members climb through the ninja ranks.

However, the truth behind these proficient ninjas was a dark one. The Urasabi Clan had a very cruel ritual where they would cast Genjutsu on their children to make them lose their personality and become emotionless killing machines.

Four generations ago, a man called Metsuo Urasabi became the head of the clan and forbade the ritual, saying that children should not be subjected to such cruelty. This caused the proficiency of their ninjas to drop considerably, although a new, better opinion on the Urasabi was formed.

Early life
Minako is the daughter of Masuto, vice-head of the clan, and Mei, a non-ninja. She was raised mostly by her mother, although her dad would pitch in whenever he was not on missions. From a very early age, she developed a huge admiration towards her elder sister, Masuzu, a genius ninja and former teammate of Lin Houki and Hana of the Rinnegan.

Ninja academy
Thanks to her clan's specialty, Minako was always second to none when it came to Genjutsu. However, that w
