Nakayama Madoka is a Genin of Iwagakure. Clanless and with no pedigree or kekkei genkai to boost her abilities, she is nonetheless a talented and driven young woman who wants to prove to herself and others that blessed ancestry is not a requirement for strength. To that end she has pursued mastery of the Eight Gates and is currently one of Iwagakure's most active gennin.

Summary

User: Peregine

Name: Nakayama Madoka

Alias: None

Clan: None

Shinobi Rank: Gennin

Specialty: Swordsmanship, Eight Celestial Gates

Sexuality: Bisexual

Appearance

Hair Color: Deep red, long and luscious. Many have theorized that she uses hair ninjutsu to keep and maintain her hair's length and colour, but such speculation has never been proven.

Eye Color: Azure Blue

Clothing: Madoka changes clothes extremely frequently, often going through multiple outfits in a day. For casual wear and nights out her style trends more feminine, often combining skirts, tights, various jewellery and form-fitting tops and jackets or sweaters. As with all her clothing, colours and styles often vary widely, though her most common apparel is in blue, black, red or grey. Madoka doesn’t shy away from showing some skin, showing off her legs in between tights and skirt or midriff. If using neither of those styles, she typically wears tops cut low enough to emphasise her other assets. For more practical tasks she generally dresses in jeans and looser shirts, typically without sleeves to ensure total freedom of movement. She hates to get her clothes dirty or damaged, and so on missions generally wears sturdier or older versions of her favourites.

Physical Description: The most obvious thing about Madoka is always her ever-present smile. She genuinely loves life and everything it throws at her, for better or worse. The second thing, most commonly, is her beauty. Long hair that falls almost to her waist, toned muscles, long slender legs and just enough curves to entice the unwary. Her delicate features only enhance the overall image, her ever-present grin promising a happy, if exasperating, experience. Madoka is always moving, always fidgeting or tapping her fingers or spinning a kunai. A natural athlete, she moves gracefully and often arrogantly, knowing that very few can match her finesse and completely happy about it. As with most spoiled teenage girls Madoka is quite vain and takes care to maintain her appearance, the more public the setting the more effort invested.

History

Born to prosperous merchants in Metropolis, Madoka was five when hostile forces occupied Iwagakure. However, far away from the conflict as she was and sheltered as much as possible by her parents, the terror attack and subsequent siege didn’t trouble the young girl in the slightest. Instead her day was filled with lessons in etiquette, manners, languages and dialects, trade and mercantile law. Following in her elder sister’s footsteps, by the time she was seven Madoka had learned the business of buying and selling in intricate detail, rising to a level where she could have outmanoeuvred nearly any merchant in the capitol. Perfectly protected inside her father’s manor, Madoka was a perfectly obedient child in every way, carefully moulded into her parent’s dream child.

The Kumogakure Blitz changed Madoka’s life permanently, jarring her from her parent’s plan for her life in an event she describes as ‘scales falling from her eyes’. As Iwagakure and Metropolis were occupied by invading shinobi and quickly formed into the NCIA, seven-year-old Madoka revelled in the chaos so unlike anything else she had ever experienced. With the city’s economy seized by the occupying shinobi, her parents were drafted into the new regime’s machinery, regulating the county’s economy in exchange for preferential treatment. With the aegis of Kumogakure’s shinobi, Madoka took advantage of her parent’s preoccupation to break out of the shell she had lived in. Experimenting with theft and low-level criminal behaviour, Madoka fell in love with humanity. She explored and adventured without restriction or rebuke, coming to know the city’s darkest corners and deepest secrets and bartering what she found for money to support her new lifestyle.

Unlike most caught in the grip of the Kumogakure Empire, Madoka and her parents were never truly unhappy with the invasion. Her parents for the added responsibility and power given to them in the wake of the invasion, Madoka for the new life and experiences that had come with the violent upheaval. The only member of Madoka’s family truly upset and angry at the invasion was her sister, who was severely injured by a wayward jutsu. Many of Nakayama Momoka’s friends were crippled or killed in that same attack, birthing a vendetta that lasts to this day, and the catalyst of many arguments between parents and eldest daughter. When Tsuchi no Kuni and Metropolis were finally freed from Kumogakure’s control in 2109, Mokoka moved out of Metropolis leaving Madoka alone with her parents. While the Nakayama family survived Kumogakure’s removal by copious favours and claims of threats and forced labour, Madoka had been changed permanently from the meek young girl of years prior. As Madoka entered her teenage years her thirst for adventure and excitement grew, becoming more and more unsettled in her confining home environment.

More and more, Madoka yearned to see the world and meet as many different people as she could. Using the skills her parents had drilled into her, Madoka was able to acquire and read some basic Iwagakure Academy textbooks, teaching herself to use chakra in preparation for the future. For years the tension in the Nakayama family grew, eventually reaching breaking point when Madoka was caught stealing a particularly valuable and rare ninja tome from one of the largest bookstores in the city. Her parents connections ensured that no charges were ever made, but Madoka’s patience had reached its limit. Threatening her parents with her own felony, Madoka threatened to turn herself into the police and confess the truth of her parent’s voluntary work during the NCIA occupation if she was not allowed to enrol in Iwagakure’s shinobi forces. Torn between irreparable damage to their reputation and the loss of their daughter, they finally relented realising that they would lose their daughter either way. Shortly afterwards Madoka was recognised as an official Genin of Iwagakure her age, half decade of self-study and parent’s connections allowing her to pass the academy final exams immediately after her arrival.
