Tentative Character Sheet for Utsu - (Walking-By Verse)

(Credit: Picrew creator 乍 - here)

Character Name: Utsukushinagare Lee (note! Lee is both Rock Lee’s personal name (first name) and that children who have inherited ‘Rock’ are Rock Lee’s children with other people, while his children with Sakura and Sai are ‘Lees’). Sai... named his son while Sakura and Lee were preoccupied with recovering from Sakura’s birthing - Sakura on anesthetics and Lee... having his hand absolutely crushed from holding hers. It means “beautiful flow/stream”, which Sai had intended to reference ink.  Character’s nickname: ‘Utsu’ from most everybody, ‘‘Gare’ from Shinki and Ajikaku, sometimes. As not unexpected, Utsukushinagare’s full name is somewhat of a mouthful at times and most of the Walking-By children adopted Quartz’s casual use of ‘Utsu’ and it spread outwards from there. Birth date: (FILL LATER) Physical appearance: Utsukushinagare takes very much after his father Sai Lee, both in personality, temperament, and appearance. While he does not look a carbon copy of Sai at his age, he does have many sufficiently similar traits. Age: 8-20 (in flux according to when they’re Mused out - 14 as a starting point.) How old does he appear: Tends to look young and baby-faced as he grows older - at his current age does not look especially older or younger than he is in reality, though he does deliberately angle and highlight different things to make his impression young or older. Height: Average for a Konohan boy - will not grow to be tall. Body build: Slender, slightly waifish - but make no mistake - takes after his father Sai much in build, looking deceptively ‘soft’ in musculature. Shape of face: FILL LATER Eyes: Utsukushinagare’s eyes are dark with the pupil not easily seen - not black like his father Sai’s, but simply a color so dark it is near black. On a side note, Sai’s own eyes are black but with an underside of dark gray, while Lee’s are a dark deep brown also easily mistaken for black. Glasses or contacts: Skin tone: Rather pale, like his father Sai, but notably more in-line with other children in Konoha Distinguishing marks: FILL LATER Predominant features: Notably extremely fair skin, which unfortunately is difficult to pin down to any single location, much less family. Speaks with a very slight accent that is hard to pin down - Utsukushinagare has a slight Ame/Rain sound, which stands out the most; very, very, slight. Is easily recognizable and identified from his voice as Konohaean. Nondescript to anyone who hasn’t seen Sai hair. Despite his attractiveness, easily blends into a crowd.  Hair: He has similarly short, simple dark hair that is cut in a similar style to his father Sai’s - though his hair unlike his father’s is simply a dark brunette rather than Sai’s black. Type of hair: Voice: Pleasant and smooth, a light tenor. Overall attractiveness: Utsu has been rated “very attractive” by his brothers and Hironori of the Walking-By children - in fact, is considered one of the ‘top bachelors’ in Konoha as he grows up.  Physical disabilities:  Usual fashion of dress: Practical, muted colors primarily in blue-gray or simply gray. Black and white. Long sleeves, but not heavy. Favorite outfit: A varsity-style jacket in simple black and white - standard Konohan shinobi gear - long, slightly loose pants that reach his ankles in black - plain t-shirt under jacket (solid black or white). Jewelry or accessories: FILL LATER Good personality traits: Diplomatic - rational - sympathetic Bad personality traits: Will rather try to obscure own true opinion rather than make a fuss - Disingenuous - Slight tendency to cede and make peace rather than stand to a point. Mood character is most often in: Calm. Sense of humor: Muted, but yes, Utsu does have a sense of humor. He’s most particularly amused by wordplay or visual puns -  Character’s greatest joy in life: Watching nature, from Konoha’s fields to the canyons of Kumo or the perpetual-drizzle of Ame. Spending time with, or watching, his family and friends - having all of those he cares about safe. Character’s greatest fear: Harm befalling those he cares about or is charged to protect/watch over. Why? Self-explanatory. What single event would most throw this character’s life into complete turmoil? War. Utsukushinagare has studied and been taught about the horrors of the previous Wars by Kakashi - and he absolutely does not want one from breaking out and tearing Konoha, his Konoha, his family apart. In fact, he may even cross over some of his lines and morals just to try to prevent that if he feels it would be necessary. Character is most at ease when: At home, at peace - knowing that nothing is immediately wrong in the world - especially with people he knows. Most ill at ease when: FILL LATER Enraged when: FILL LATER Depressed or sad when: FILL LATER Priorities: FILL LATER Life philosophy: FILL LATER If granted one wish, it would be: FILL LATER Character’s soft spot: Nature, (some) bugs, plants, his siblings, then the rest of his family and friends - yes Utsukushinagare holds his precious siblings a touch higher/more than everyone else he cares about.  Is this soft spot obvious to others? Generally, as when he’s out on the field or out of Konoha? Not usually. He keeps a strong wall between his public, free information and self and his private one - it would be remiss of him to openly expose his weaknesses like that even if he might occasionally, quietly gush about his siblings (perhaps like Itachi would with Sasuke, in another world). Greatest strength: FILL LATER Greatest vulnerability or weakness: FILL LATER   Biggest regret: FILL LATER Minor regret: FILL LATER Biggest accomplishment: FILL LATER Minor accomplishment: FILL LATER Past failures he/she would be embarrassed to have people know about: FILL LATER Character’s darkest secret: FILL LATER Does anyone else know? FILL LATER Drives and motivations: FILL LATER Immediate goals: FILL LATER Long term goals: FILL LATER How the character plans to accomplish these goals: FILL LATER How other characters will be affected: FILL LATER Hometown: Konoha!! The Village Hidden in the Leaves is treasured/deep to him, and he is a loyal shinobi of Konohagakure. Type of childhood: Peaceful! Calm, nice, and friendly. But for him, he made his own choice of initiating and accepting an apprenticeship with retired Rokudaime Hokage Hatake Kakashi, and since he was 6 has spent most of childhood out of the Village, spending around similar amounts of time in Ame, Kiri, Kumo, and Suna. Pets: He does own a mixed-breed cat (bengal-savannah hybrid tom named アロエヴェラ - Aloe Vera) and hound (russet husky-retriever breed named 遠い目/Tōi-me - Far Eyes) in his apartment in Konoha - they’re petsit by Ino and Omoi’s son, who we still haven’t found a good enough name for yet. He exists. First memory: Wrapping his small fingers around one of Sai’s kunai while he was distracted talking to his partners - half-laughingly and half-sadly Sakura said Utsukushinagare was growing up to be a fine ninja, which was only backed by everything he said and did as he grew older. Most important childhood memory: The first time  Childhood hero: FILL LATER Dream job: FILL LATER Education: Utsukushinagare did not attend the Academy!! He went straight into an apprenticeship that took him out of the Hidden Leaf, and therefore has a thorough grounding in politics, many, various social etiquettes, history (lots of history), calligraphy and writing and more than a basic amount of fuinjutsu/rune-reading/activation though he does not currently have any interest in learning sealing/fuinjutsu like his sibling Ajikaku, mathematics, tactics, and both theory and on-the-go shinobi basics and essentials like all the basic tools and Academy Three. Kakashi was a very thorough teacher, now being as relaxed as he was running genuinely, without Naruto/Team 7′s luck safe and simple C-rank missions for the grounding start of Utsukushinagare’s training and also being a one-on-one instructor of a dedicated, serious student. He Religion: FILL LATER Finances: FILL LATER Present current location: Either out in the field, outside of the village - alone, or returning back to Konoha - fresh from a mission or on break, also alone - back to visit his family, presumably. Currently living with: He both owns his own apartment, with no roommate, and also stays sometimes at his room at his parents’ house - Sakura’s house, actually. 

Occupation: A fine young shinobi of the Hidden Leaf (genin to jonin rank depending on time range - we stick to playing him as relatively young, but in “canon” he’s an early-promoted jonin!!) Family: Sakura, Sai, and Lee are his parents, and his direct siblings/family are Ajikaku and Aikokyū - though he is half-brother to Quartz, through Lee their mutual father. Consequently of the Konoha Huddle, or what-ever the poly mess we’ve made the Konoha 13+/Sand Siblings into, he loosely considers many of the other “next-generation” as his more distant cousins as well. They might as well be, Mother: Sakura. FILL LATER Father(s): Sai and Lee. As Sai is the one that “stays-at-home” the most often, Utsukushinagare is closest to him out of all his parents, and looks up to him. Is not especially trying to emulate/mimic his father - things just developed naturally and it’s just acknowledged he’s just very much like his father Sai.  Siblings: Ajikaku and Aikokyū. FILL LATER Spouse: None! Pre-established or not, this is “open” if you want to plot out/talk it out with us - drop in!! or by!! Children: None! Open to writing “Utsukushinagare accidental baby/child aquisition”, very much so though!! Other important family members: FILL LATER Favorites Color: FILL LATER Least favorite color: FILL LATER Music: Food: Literature: FILL LATER Form of entertainment: FILL LATER Expressions: FILL LATER Mode of transportation: FILL LATER Most prized possession: FILL LATER Habits: FILL LATER Hobbies: FILL LATER Plays a musical instrument? FILL LATER Plays a sport? FILL LATER How he/she would spend a rainy day: FILL LATER Spending habits: FILL LATER Smokes: Does not smoke! Will do so for missions and to blend in - when he does so, prefers the light, somewhat-higher quality mint-tasting brand from Kumo that produces nice plumes of white, much less scentful smoke. Drinks: Does not drink!! Though when he does, for social purposes among those he’s friendly with, he prefers the likes of mojitos, caipirinhas, and mint juleps. Other drugs: No!! Though he may have done a few injections (he’d rather do that than the other methods, but sometimes he doesn’t have a choice-) for missions, Utsukushinagare keeps a very strict oversight of his own body and will clean and rest for weeks afterwards.  What does he/she do too much of? FILL LATER What does he/she do too little of? FILL LATER Extremely skilled at:  FILL LATER Extremely unskilled at: FILL LATER Nervous tics: Utsukushinagare tends to still instead of fidget when he’s surprised - Usual body posture: Straight-backed, but not overly straight and formal - he only does so when apologetic or embarrassed. Mannerisms: FILL LATER Peculiarities: FILL LATER Optimist or pessimist? Introvert or extrovert? Daredevil or cautious? Logical or emotional? Disorderly and messy or methodical and neat? Prefers working or relaxing? Confident or unsure of himself/herself?

Animal lover? Yes, like bugs, cats, and predatory animals - or deer, lambs, dogs, what have you - to be honest, Utsu prefers plants. How he feels about himself: He’s mostly self-aware and relatively confident/satisfied in how and where he’s built himself at his age - though he does have some subconscious fears about other people not being genuinely, openly friends with him, tolerating him and his occasional quirks. One word the character would use to describe self: Poised. One paragraph description of how the character would describe self: FILL LATER What does the character consider his/her best personality trait? His diplomatic and calm nature. What does the character consider his/her worst personality trait? His difficulties being honest and true to himself with others he trusts - to fully relax his guard is no small task. What does the character consider his/her best physical characteristic? Utsu? Doesn’t care...? about his physical appearance much - though he does take care of it and himself it’s an unconscious, “mission-ready“/”maintenance“/”appearances-matter” kind of thing. Some of his classmates are jealous/envious at how effortlessly he pulls it off. That being said, he’s most proud of how he’s crafted his smile. Sai is also a proud father in being able to create and help create such an open smile, as while he’s improved vastly from his initial times in public Konoha, he’s still not quite able to erase the slight unnaturalness from his - it’s become integrated into him. His personality. Sakura tells him that she loves him even more for it, and to not try to erase himself further - Sai is good as he is. He never fails to melt a little when she asks/demands him to smile for her, and himself. What does the character consider his/her worst physical characteristic? Utsu would probably rate his skin tone as his worst feature - it has both been mocked, in some way, by other-Village genin-shinobi (”milky”, “moon-white”, “lily”), and made trouble for him by making him desirable, like to that one old, initially not-unpleasant Lady in her Tea Parlor who ended up being a fifty-years-long preyer of young people from the town and beyond - turned out she was draining them of their blood to bathe in. Yes she’s based off of Elizabeth Bathory. How does the character think others perceive him/her: FILL LATER What would the character most like to change about himself/herself: FILL LATER Relationships with others: FILL LATER Opinion of other people in general: To be treated politely but distantly - Utsu may be very subtle about it, but he tends to keep people at a distance - even those he cares about, at times. Does the character hide his/her true opinions and emotions from others? Not usually, but Utsukushinagare tends to reserve and observe judgement but outwardly maintain a polite and respectful manner. Usually he’s quite nonjudgmental and it’s a rare occasion that he meets someone that either gets under his skin or repulses him in some way. Person character most hates: None! Utsu is not an especially hateful person. Best friend(s): FILL LATER Love interest(s): Utsukushinagare is single “canonically” and this will not change for now - that being said, if you and yours are interested in musing up a ship feel free to drop in our IMs or askblox to yell at us - we should talk more there!! Person character goes to for advice: Kakashi, his mentor, primarily. Person character feels responsible for or takes care of: His younger siblings, and generally more of the New Konoha Peace Generation - especially as he’s around a year or two older than most of them. Person character feels shy or awkward around: FILL LATER Person character openly admires: Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Kakashi, Sai, Sakura Person character secretly admires: FILL LATER Most important person in character’s life before story starts: FILL LATER After story starts: FILL LATER

Additional References: additional credit to Picrew-Creator duckyora - link here. y’know, in fact, this first initial picrew formed our visual impression of what Utsu was going to look like. like the varsity-jacket and the choker. Similarly, it’s also the currently best to-date that we have found/”made” for Aikokyū. Neat-o.
