About You!
Personality: "Art is an Explosion!" is one of Murasaki favorite mottos because she views every bomb she makes and every explosion that goes off as a true work of art, no matter the size of the explosion. Due to her pride as an artist she loves to show off artwork if she gets an opportunity because in Murasaki opinion there no point in making art if you have no one to show it to. Being part of the Harestu clan, she does view her form of art to be the greatest form of art there, superior to any other work of arts especially forms of every lasting art because Murasaki tends to hold the view people can only enjoy and respect something if it has a chance to disappear .
"Fine art is the beauty of that single fleeting moment of explosion." This is another one of her quotes she often says to people who take things for granted. Despite favoring her style of art, Murasaki does respect other people views and forms of art.
In the workplace, Murasaki is generally pleasant and friendly, and interacts in a positive and creative manner with both her fellow Shinobi and Kunoichi. When comes to proposing ideas, Murasaki can be consider a major asset in brainstorming sessions; follow-through on projects can be a problem, however. Murasaki has a short attention span and does get easily distracted, especially if another interesting issue or thing comes along. She also tend to dislike performing small, uninteresting tasks.
Likes:~ Being part of the Harestu clan it should be obvious that she likes explosions. Pure and simple. From the time Murasaki was a young girl she enjoyed, no, she loved to blow things up. The bigger the explosion and the amount of flying debris the better, until she got older and learn that small explosions can be just as fun as the larger ones! Also she has developed a love for fireworks. Women. First Murasaki doesn't hate or dislike men based on their gender it just when comes to dating and romantic relationships, Murasaki is homosexual and prefers her gender. Outside of that she will gladly be friends with any gender; men, women, anything in between or something out of the box. Outside of explosions, Murasaki does enjoy reading especially books about action, romance, and/or fiction. Murasaki also likes custom made items like one of mothers.
Dislikes: Murasaki has an extreme dislike, almost bordering on hate for anyone who is able to use Ration because they can interfere with her works of art. Turning them from explosive masterpieces to piles of useless goo. Expanding on her dislike for Ration she dislikes lighting in generally even if she will admit that lighting can be cool at times. Murasaki also dislike people who think being emotionless is cool and will make them stronger. Murasaki has no problem telling those people that your way of thinking is overrated, wrong and most importantly boring. Finally Murasaki loathe being micromanaged or restrained by rules and guidelines. She wants to be seen as highly independent individual, master of her own fate.
Motivations: Fiercely individualistic, Murasaki strive towards a kind of personal authenticity and uniqueness, she doesn't want to live under the shadow of anyone or be compare to other people. Murasaki's curiosity is another motivator for her. In other words Muraskai see life as an exciting drama, fill with possibilities for both good and evil, and she wants to experience all the meaningful events and fascinating people in the world. Even known Murasaki considers herself independent she does hope that she can have a family of her own. Finding a nice wife and maybe have a kid or two, Murasaki is always keeping her eyes open for that special someone. Is there anything else that could possibly motivate this creative female? Yes! Fame. Anybody who considers themselves an artist wants to their name to be well-known and Murasaki is no different expect that she also want to be a famous ninja along side being a famous artist.
Fears: One of Murasaki greatest fears is Athazagoraphobia or known as the fear of being forgotton or ignored or forgetting. Murasaki doesn't want to die being a nameless nobody. Murasaki as an artist wants people to notice her, admire her and her art, if everyone just ignored her than what the point of making art? What's point of trying to be famous if people will forget about you? Being alone for the rest of her life and dying alone is another fear of Murasaki. Murasaki does want to have a family before her life ends. Besides those two fears, nothing else really scares Murasaki that much expect for dolls. Murasaki finds them very creepy with the way they just stare at with those giant wide eyes and never ending smile. Which is a bit strange consider that Murasaki is usually known to have a smirk or smile on face even in dangerous situations.
History: ~A New Artist: Early Years~Murasaki was born into and growing up in an unusual two parent household unlike most children who have the standard one mother and one father, Murasaki grew up with two mothers who raised their only daughter diligently, allowing their child to grow up in an environment that didn’t place any restrictions on one’s way of thinking which wasn't shocking considering that both of her parents were Artist. For the most part, they left’s mental and cultural development to him. They felt that each person was their own and that they should be treated as an individual.
Murasaki’s first mother, Mei Harestu is a fun-loving, spontaneous risk-taker with an excellent ability to quickly improvise a creative solutions to a problem. Mei is more enthusiastic, passionate and emotional then her lover Mito. Mei also trained Muraskai when she was young but instead on her physical aspects. Mei focus on Murasaki mental abilities in which she always play games with that test her mental abilities and steer Muraskai in taking up different forms of arts beside her clan clay art. Mei discover around the age of six that her daughter seem to fond of paint and made a mental note to find someone to give her painting lessons or just to let Murasaki learned that skill all on her own. Mei gently smiled as she pick up her daughter who was cover in black and yellow paint.
Murasaki's second mother, Mito Murakami is very quick-witted, controlled, disciplined and clear-headed, quick-thinking, showing a great maturity, responsibility and intuitiveness; rarely being caught off guard or deceived. Being a battle-harden Jonin, She is a firm believer in Kunoichi ability, clearly under the impression that every Kunoichi should be able to care for themselves in combat since kunoichi face more dangers like being sold in slavery or being rape. Due to this state of thinking, she trained her daughter from a young age in the ninja arts focusing on her physical and weapon skills while Murasaki other mother, Mei, trained Murasaki in the ways of Harestu clan. Mito also promised her daughter when she got older she would show Murasaki her style of art. Mito watched as her daughter with amusement as she tried to blow up a stray dog that eat her cinnamon bun.
~Budding Artist: Academy Years~When Murasaki was eight years old her parents thought that she was old enough to enter Yokuichigakure 's ninja academy if she wanted too. So her mother ask her if she wanted joined the Academy, Murasaki quickly told her mother that she was going to be world-famous ninja. When Murasaki enter into the Academy she did so with a great deal of enthusiasm. She felt it was finally time for her to make an impact: for her to gain even more knowledge to use to better herself. Her goal in mind was to become a famous Academy student or maybe a more correct term would be infamous annoyance. From a very young age Murasaki showed a great deal of "bravery" or what her mother like say "She searching for inspiration: which in nearly always was fuel on by her curiosity. She was always being scolded for getting into places she shouldn't go, for climbing up things she shouldn't be climbing, playing with stuff that aren't meant to be play with and her most annoying trait not following the rules. During the lunchtime, Murasaki got bored and was able to sneak past her instructor by causing a food fight with the older students to go searching for explosive items, luckily she was caught before she found anything. When she had to learn about history, Murasaki was the first person to fall asleep and first person to come up with an excuse on way she didn't do her homework. Murasaki always came up with creative excuses or reasons why if wasn't done. Her favorite excuse was that finish her homework early but she forgot that she left it in her old drawer, which she blew up with her clay to make space for her clay statue of the instructor. Then she tried to put the pieces of her homework back together but ninja rats thought her homework was pudding so they ate it, Murasaki then said was able to find the ninja rats that ate her homework but before she catch them a chicken eat them and then the Academy lunch lady caught the chicken and serve it to the staff. So it short Murasaki said that the instructor ate her homework! Sadly for the young artist the teacher never believe her and sentence her to detention that soon became a daily thing for Murasaki. Murasaki was also a bit of prankster when she was in the academy. Since Murasaki was banned from using her Kekkei Genkai after one event that ended with a fellow student almost eating her clay. Murasaki made paint bombs that were similar to smoke bomb but instead of releasing smoke it release paint. You had to admit seeing a man covered in pink paint is bit funny. Even when Murasaki was causing trouble she wasn't the stereotypical dead-last of class, sure when came to the technical and bookwork aspects of her classes, Murasaki was average. When came to creativity, problem solving and art. Murasaki was always the go to girl. Finally when Murasaki faced the more physical aspects of the academy's teachings like sparring she was usually in the upper tier of students. Overall she was an above average student was able to graduate from the Academy being the third highest ranked student. Murasaki was twelve years old when she passed the graduation exam. Both of parents where proud of her and threw Murasaki a small party the only contained the three of them. Mei made her two special artists, Mito and Murasaki favorite treat, cinnamon buns. The three of enjoy a nice picnic under the sunset and then Mito fire off some fireworks that filled the sky with bright vivid colors ranging from bright yellow to hot pink. Murasaki hugged both of parents before she fell asleep in their laps. The two mothers quietly giggled at their daughter cuteness as they made their way back home for the night. Both of them held high hopes of their only children as they tuck Murasaki into bed and kiss her goodnight.
RP Sample: Murasaki stand there hidden in the bushes as she watch her target sprint across the sands leaving the village. Murasaki watched her target carefully and excitedly. There been reports of an art thief lurking around Yokuchi who been stealing puppets and paintings and selling them in the black market. Murasaki was a bit angry that this so called thief didn't recognize explosions as a form of art. As Murasaki followed her target, making sure to stay out of sight, she place her hands in her pouch of clay and started to form two clay bats in the palm of her hands. The bats where no bigger than the size of her hand.
"Perfect. I will show you true art." Muraskai whispered as she let her creations take flight. Silently the two clay bats follow the thief with each passing second closing the distance between them. As the thief was running form the corner of his right eye he saw something white flying next to his ear but before he had time to respond, the two clay bat exploded as Murasaki yell
"Art is a Bang!" as she appeared in front of man who was now laying on the ground, bleeding form the sides of his head, the two explosions damage his ears, his left ear detached form his head.
"You see my friend, art is and explosion and I shall turn you into fine art!" Murasaki smirked as the man started to tremble in fear but luckily for him, A elderly male Jonin wearing an eye patch appeared beside Murasaki and grabbed her right hand that was in her clay pouch.
"Enough with the explosions, Murasaki! You almost blew up the stolen art pieces." The Jonin pointed towards the brown leather sack fill with small paintings. Murasaki nervously laugh as two other shinboi appeared beside the thief before taking him away to the village, disappearing behind a small trail of white smoke.
