Back story

Mizuki is originally from Kirigakure (the villiage hidden in the mist), Her parents both ninja. (her father a medic  and her mother a special jonin).  When she was very young, she and her father fled the village due to her father having a known kekkai genki during the time of the purging in the mist village and due to fear she's be taken out as well though at the time it was not known if she had inherited the kekkai genkai. He was marked as a rouge/missing nin and was perused by trackers. Very little is known about her mother by Mizuki as her father states she died soon after Mizuki was born. All she has of her is a photo.  The two traveled far, trying to escape the tracking nin. Along the way, her father taught her a vast amount of ninjutsu and techniques ranging from projectile usage ( she favors senbon), medical knowledge. It came to light that she also possessed the bloodline limit Hyoton( ice release) with her water and wind chakras, to which her father spent time teaching her to activate it, as well as use it to their advantage.

Mizuki was too young to ever receive nin training at the academy, so her father was her only teacher. Though she learned lots of techniques, she  is not well practiced at controlling her chakra for long periods of time, much like her stamina. If she looses focus or has to hold a technique for a long period, the jutsu will break midway through, which is quite troublesome.

She learned to survive off of petty theft from villages they'd pass through, or using her justus as survival tools. Unfortunately, one day, the tracking nin caught up with her father and disposed of him, leaving only his headband and a few personal articles behind at the campsite they had created outside of a town. Mizuki, was spared for two reasons. 1) she was not noted to have a kekkai genkai at the time, and 2) Her father led them to believe he was traveling alone, as she was carrying her supplies with her in the village at the time. Mizuki was filled with grief but ultimately carried on, and occasionally moved as her supplies and theft opportunities dwindled. She actually became associated with the myth of the Yuki Onna in many villages, as she would  often practice her ice release and other ninjutsu outside non ninja villages, and they feared it was a yokai woman. 

Eventually Mizuki's thievery caught up with her, as she attempted to steal from a traveler, who happened to be an Omkiri agent, Omkiri being a very organized and covert group of thieves and spies who make their living taking and selling black market goods and information. This agent saw much promise in her. Decided to take her in, clean her up and make her work for Omkiri in exchange for better accommodations as well as knowing where her next meal was coming from.  Mizuki was sent to work in an Omkiri run "tea-house"  at first as a kamuro and then as a shinzo to an orian named Reika Chouko.  Ultimately, she became a Banto Shinzo, which literally translates to Head Clerk. More or less a personal secretary/ manager/advisor to the courtesans of the tea house. Though as an omkiri operative, she still received tasks outside the tea house, to obtain objects or information.

In the agency, she hadn't made many friends, as one would expect with a band of thieves. Though she did become close with a few of the women and girls in the tea house and one operative known as Yuu Inouye. 

Personality: Mizuki is known to be a bit of an over spender, after all she's gone through. She should avoid dealing with her own money as she will often spend it on frivolous things or on excess. She can find it hard to be practical with it, and she would love to live a life of luxury and ease. She laughingly associated with the phrase " 50 yen in my pocket, and I spent 100". She becomes depressed when dealing with ugly things, such as ruined snowfall, or more important things such as seeing people being treated badly. Though she is not overtly powerful, her strength can rival a male's and she's had to throw her weight around in certain situations. This is not without risk however, though Mizuki has an above average constitution. She can take a hit or sustained hits for a while and come out doing well if not a little bruised. She's also become tolerant to several toxic plants due to ingesting them when on her own with her father.  She hates to displease others, especially loved ones, and she can often be over sensitive or over react in situations. Difficulties or other situations need to be handled delicately. She needs reassurance that she hasn't offended frequently.  She's very intelligent, and successful in business and trade, She's a very emotion filled person, though she often tries to bottle them up. She falls in and out of love quickly, though her heart's been broken rather easily.

Though not formally educated, she has a comprehensive medical and plant knowledge thanks to her father, she loves to read especially about the arts and science. She despises rushing, and would rather do things one at a time and carefully.

Her urge to be self expressive ( whether through words or the arts)  and being a responsible individual, can lead to her being impulsive, argumenitive and extravagant.  She appreciates all forms of the arts, especially  floral arrangement ( including the language of flowers),  Calligraphy, Drawing, as well as music ( she was taught to play the shakuhachi flute when she entered the tea house as well as her other loves as the arts, to make  the courtesans more than simple prostitutes, but more so entertainers).  She enjoys laughter and fun filled activities, and id often known to turn things into a game, though she can often come across as quiet or straight laced.  She has an optimistic view on life, and is usually easily able to express her thoughts and ideas. She can be quite friendly and generous and she tries to come off as likeable, even though she often would like nothing more to shut out the world and relax on her own.  She must be careful in cases where she is teaching others or knows a lot on a particular subject, as she can become quite boastful or she'll dominate a situation. She prefers eating heavier, more satisfying foods, though she doesn't eat much in a sitting, she does eat frequently. .  She is a mix of optimist and realist, however one phrase uttered around her frequently irritates her. " There is no honor among thieves" She truly believes differently

Ninja info

Mizuki has not received a traditional ninja education, though she is able to use  simple medical jutsu,  low level ninjutsu, her kekkai genkai Hyouton(ice release), and several attacks with her water and wind chakras, though if she must use her chakra long term or for something intricate, she has issues maintaining it.  It becomes worse if she is focused on more than one task, or if she is moving etc at the time. She is however very skilled with her hands, and has a high level in dexterity that aids in her shakuhachi playing, as well as performing medical tasks, using her ninja tools or even during her flower arrangements as flowers can be quite delicate. She favors senbon as her weapon of choice, due to their small and easy to hide nature, she has several concealed on her at all times, including up her arm covers, in her ankles of her shoes, on her hips and in her clothing under her chest.   Though they do not inherently cause much damage,  she can use them to immobilize  her target or to get poisons or venom under their skin, into the blood stream. Her aim is almost always on the mark.  The ice release can use much of her chakra depending on the size she creates, but she can also manipulate existing water or snow/ice to cut down on her fatigue.  

She favors many water style attacks, but she will also use her wind chakra to sharpen her senbon or even her hands to the point she can cut through tree limbs easily.   She would prefer to avoid confrontation, and will often use mist or a snow storm to escape in times of conflict, and using the senbon to immobilize the target until she can escape. If she can not do so, she tends to turn an attackers power against them instead of trying to over power them on her own.
