Sunagakure (砂隠れの里, Sunagakure no Sato; Literally meaning "Village Hidden by Sand") is one of the hidden villages in the Land of Wind. As one of the Five Great Shinobi Countries, Sunagakure has a Kage as its leader known as the Kazekage, who resides in a spherical structure in the center of the village.
Shinobi from this village believe that the accomplishment of a mission predominates the lives of the ninja trying to accomplish it. As such, they are known to be ruthless in battle meaning to them, failure is not an option. Should failure seem inevitable, a Suna shinobi would almost surely try to make a success of their mission in some way or another.
~Defenses~ The only passage to travel into the valley is in a cleft between two cliff faces which provides a natural defense for the village making the area very hard to attack. Sand appears to continuously fall down either side of the cleft's walls and pour out of the crack, making the walls appear to always be moving. When walking through the cleft, the feeling of eyes watching you will always be present, due to the abundance of puppet made horseshoe crab like entities that are about the size of a regular shinobi are hidden beneath the rolling sands. When someone enters with a sinister intent upon the village, the puppets will react through the means of sand manipulation, crushing their attackers to death. The buildings also seem to be made of clay or stucco which would help to keep the buildings cool and allow them to also withstand the raging sand storms which are common in the area. The entire village can be protected by a dome of sand, easily activated by the Kage or a set of three high level Jounin, stationed around the proximity of the village. Each Jounin will need to form the necessary hand seals, and since they are functioning as Sentries this job is their main task. A midst the villagers of the village are literal copies in the form of puppets. These copies are made to go about living the normal every day activities of the village should the village be under siege. This allowing to protect the lives of the village members, and allow for an army like defensive force to go against those that get passed the original defenses.
Akasun Clan Most of them carry around a puppet or puppets, that they were given or made themselves, and employs it when fighting. There puppets have many weapons hidden inside it, from sharp knives to hidden bombs of poison gas; it is exceedingly difficult to get close enough to damage their puppets.
Gaara Clan A clan that appears to be able to manipulate the sands of the desert or the earth. They are capable of earth shattering techniques, although these techniques drain the chakra of the user rather quickly. Some are known to carry around Gourds of sand, that is actually created and held together by their own special chakra-infused sand in case there is no sand to use around them.
Temari Clan Most of the Temari ancestors carry large fans to improve their ability to manipulate wind. They usually think ahead, but aren't considered geniuses. Their large offensive wind attacks and can take on groups of enemies. The Temari clan are also known as peacemakers due to their dislike of war.
Ryuudouin A fallen clan that uses puppet like the Akasun, but the puppets are controlled more by charms placed on the back of the puppets head than chakra. Their puppets are like training puppets you would see within a Dojo and is used for many techniques to break apart and create buildings, or purely attacking opponents with punches and kicks with their paneling.

Isis Akasun Genin[x][x][x][x]Hidden Sand [[x][x]↽╼┬┬┬╾↝⌤↜╼┬┬┬╾⇁ [x][x]﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏ SPD: ( 18 ) | STR: ( 05 ) | DEF: ( 10 ) INT: ( 20 ( 43 ) ) | RSV: ( 08 ) | SPR: ( 10 ) [x][x]PERC: ( 14 ) | RACT: ( 16 ) [x][x]﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋ It was more certainly an adventure to say the least, having spent the limited amount of time that she had within the Shinobi Academy. Especially with the casual murdering and sadistic manipulation of the pathetic children that she had run into. Isis Akasun frowned as she strolled into her village, her red hued gaze scanning over the streets of the village itself as she walked forwards with the full motivation of making it to her home, the main building that exists within the village itself. The home that was normally dedicated to the Kage of Sand, but had been her own home for a good while now. She had the most pure goals in mind of course, to get this disgusting dirt that she had accumulated upon herself due to her necessary scheming and manipulation of the pathetic hero of a Sanada, girl. A slightly twisted smirk formed across Isis' lips as the memories of what had come to pass crossed her mind with the thought of Raelyn Sanada, before she shook her head in order to clear it and headed forward through the streets already being able to see the large stone based structure that was her self proclaimed palace. She was after all, the true Princess of Hidden Sand by both right and background.
Isis eventually made her way to the main door of her home, pushing it's large stone door open with a casual shove as the door itself smoothly and easily slid out of her way and allowed her to enter inside. With the constant peace that surrounded the shinobi world for a good deal of time now, she did not even need to worry about crossing paths with even a single guard or strategically placed shinobi for that matter. Pushing the door shut behind her, she sighed with relief and took the briefest of moments to slump against it as it clicked shut behind her. She was finally home, and away from the dull existences of the world outside. She needed to become stronger faster then the speed that she has been progressing in order to advance into the world itself. After a short pause, Isis pushed her frail body from the door and began walking down the hall into the main building once again, she already knew what her destination was going to be well before she had even made it to her own village's front gate; The bath. With even a slight skip in her step, Isis made her way towards the designated chambers without a true care in the world, she was always alone in this place and that was the best part of the entire scenario of her living here. With her father having vanished and his designated ally who had been declared the Kage previously along with him, she was basically alone in this place.
As soon as she reached the door to the bathing area, she slipped in without a moments hesitation and immediately stripped of her dirtied clothes before snatching a hung towel from somewhere nearby and wrapping it around herself. With the combination of a sauna and standard bathing area, she had already directed herself to the sauna in order to allow for a solid time of relaxation before she needed to deal with anything that may be happening within the village, especially where her own personal plans were concerned. Isis had a large deal of plans after all, which required both a large amount of time and power. Thankfully only one of which she did not possess in abundance. Time though, time she had plenty of for the moment. Even while she leaned back against the wall upon the bench she had seated herself and closed her eyes, she was already thinking and planning about what her next steps would be. She needed a source of power that would function as her eyes and ears across the Shinobi World. Something akin to her late father's Angra Mainyu. Perhaps she could just head to their former base and pick up the mantle there? It was certainly a good back up plan. But she had something more interesting in mind, another past to dig up for the now peaceful Shinobi World.
Having encountered a problem with one of the Uchiha clan and escaping after ensuring that Lady Isis had made it to safety, Shun also returns to his home village of Hidden Sand. A soft sigh leaving his lips as he walked and balanced along the edge of one of the buildings. ‘How could I fall for such a needless trap? No matter… I have learned my lesson in being overly confident in my abilities. Next time that boy will pay for toying with me.’ The fox stretched out toward the sky while balancing on a single foot just off the building’s edge. A powerful enough gust of wind could ultimately spell the demise of the young male, but nothing came of it in the end. Shun crosses his fingers behind his head, before once more striding forward. His thoughts seemed to bounce between his Lady Isis, and strategies to use in combat against various opponents. Knowing the power of what puppetry was capable of was only a small bit of it, as he knew that was only a fraction of the power available to him. He even concocted ideas on how to merge the abilities of the clans running though his blood. Outside of that, Shun needed a better weapon, his current kusarigama weighed him down, took up a lot of room, and required his body to be… physically stronger… to do any real damage.
Almost as of thinking about it called notice to it, Shun felt the weight of the chain around his left arm and how as he moved it pinched his skin between the links. This caused the male to click his tongue and kick a small rock from the roof he stood atop. His golden gaze falling over the village as he takes in the scent of that dry desert air. There was not an inch of this village he did not know. There was a high class restaurant a few blocks down on the far side of the marketplace, and a barbecue place a block from there. That was his favored place as the tables had the barbecue pit built into the table and the guest were servers with plates of various raw meats that they could cook as desired. At the moment though, Shun was heading towards Lady Isis’s place… and the nearest place to eat there was a small ramen place. Likely due to it being a bit further off the beaten path. Shun kept across the street with the grace and agility of a fox, and lands gracefully on the building’s roof from there. His pace slows to a casual pace now as he releases, he doesn’t need to move at that quickened pace. Instead, he now takes the time to think out the course of action needed to better his own abilities… ultimately unable to find a way to avoid to village hopping.
A soft feminine voice called out to the mistress of the house, "Lady Isis?" The feminine figure was light on its bare feet, seemingly gliding over the stone floor silently. Its lithe form moves through the kage's manor, before slipping into the bathhouse style washroom. Soon the feminine form discarded its black kimono, and dawned only a fluffy, white towel much like the young mistress. A smile crept across her faces as she sat alongside the young lady. "You seem lost in thought, and did someone harm you?" She spoke softly and kindly as her thumb tenderly traces the over the scar on the girl's cheek, "To imagine someone damaging your lovely face, Mistress." This was one of Shun's abilities and thus she would know what had happened, but it was more fun to play none the wiser. This puppet sat, soaking her legs in the warm water as she sat near the young Asakun, "Forgive me... where are my manners? Would the young lady like for me to wash her back?" Her own silver hair flowed passed her shoulders as she took her time to gently untangle Isis's soft, but dirty, locks of hair. It was the kitsune's duty to take care of the daughter of Croix after all... a task left to him by his own father before he and the puppet master vanished from the world. It that way Shun knew he could take care of Isis, and hopefully make her feel far less lonely leaving in the large, nearly empty manor.

Isis Akasun Genin[x][x][x][x]Hidden Sand [[x][x]↽╼┬┬┬╾↝⌤↜╼┬┬┬╾⇁ [x][x]﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏ SPD: ( 18 ) | STR: ( 05 ) | DEF: ( 10 ) INT: ( 20 ( 43 ) ) | RSV: ( 08 ) | SPR: ( 10 ) [x][x]PERC: ( 14 ) | RACT: ( 16 ) [x][x]﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋ Isis had at this point completely relaxed within the sauna to the point she had perhaps even dozed off. That was until the sound of light footsteps and a call of her own name brought her back to her wakeful attention. Her dull red hues opening with a few blinks before she looked upon the pale feminine form. One to which she did seem to recognize, but could not place a name nor any information about. "Yeah, got into a bit of a scuffle at the academy.. With the newest Sanada generation. Interesting situation but it settled itself out for the time being.. Plus I have a new.. 'Friend' now." She finished with a slight devilish smirk forming across her thin lips before she brought her attention back onto the female before her. "Either way I took care of it, and resigned here for healing and relaxation.. So there is no need to concern yourself with the trivial scratches." She finally responds before slowly raising to her feet, separating herself and her hair from the female's fingers, and crossing the room to the door from this small sauna enclosure and exiting into the normal bathing area that was beyond. She did not mind a little assistance now and then, although she could just as easily bring that assistance with a puppet of her own or simply manage it herself. Isis strolled past the handles for the nearby shower stall and turned it with her free hand while clutching the towel against her frail body with the other before she stopped before a nearby stool and sat down upon it, allowing the towel to drop off her back but remain clutched in front of herself. "If you're so willing, feel free to do so.. You can finish managing my hair as well, that was pleasant." She said with a soft smile forming across her lips while beckoning the female over to where she now sat.
◤ Hidden Sand, The first stop of many for the young death eater, if he was young. Not sure how old he even was, time was different for him in a sense. Letting out a deep breath, Ragna looked around, trying to figure out what he was doing here, or even why he was here in the first place as well. Something to do with sand, or even the relaxation of being in a beach like area. Scratching his chin, he would look around, trying to figure out where to even go in this region of space. Touching the tips of his horns, he yawned, trying to look around himself, only seeing sand an what looked like even more sand in the distance. Not sure on what he should be doing, the male sighed an let out a yawn again, thinking back to when he was able to last get any sleep. Blinking lightly, the sight of something caught his eye in the distance, on the verge of not being seen just yet. It seemed there was a village off in the distance, a city or town just in the middle of nowhere now. Wondering on how it was there, he blinked, went pale, scratched his chin then walked off towards it. He forgot in the sand, there was a village, a known village, a home of what used to be a deathly beast back in the day. Ragna sighed as he was walking for what seemed like a few hours, which was only like twenty minutes. Having both his hands behind his neck, the male soon found himself getting access into the village, wondering what he would find or do to past the time here for now. Still sleepy an wanting to nap, he laughed a little, eyes scanning over the sights an buildings, searching for a altercation or a conversation he could listen to. "Hidden Sand huh, nice an strange out here I guess. Not much to determine or to judge either with everyone out here I see. Might try an find someone to talk to, or to find a nice shop an get some food at as well. Wait, can I even eat, like do I need to eat or sleep, guess I'll have to figure that out as well with the next part of the adventure as well. Might go off an train if I feel like it, but for now, lets search an find something to pass the time with." Ragna was a strange creture of sorts if you wanted to look at him like that, he was something, but nothing as well. Only thing was, he was hungry, not for food, but for death, blood, carnage, war, life, souls. He wanted to get stronger an stronger, an bring the end of the world to rise, or was he thinking about something else in the back of his thoughts. Not sure what he was going to do, he looked around, soon siting on some bench.
It wasn't that much longer now from the time of sitting, Ragna had ended up finding himself walking more of the village, searching an looking around the corners looking for the dark back alleys. Hands in his pockets, the male was yawning, looking, his eyes rolling inside his skull from the constant shifting. Wanting to figure out where he was, it seemed he soon found himself outside of what looked like a house, manor, castle, huge building of sorts with rooms for days as well. Scratching his horns, he lightly blinked, unsure of how he was here, wondering what or who lived in a house like this. "Well I'll be damned I guess. Big ole house in the village, an looks like a nice place to live as well. Wonder who would live in a place like this, or what would live here either. For now it seems like a place I could crash an sleep for a while as well, not really sure what to do in a place like this either. Let's see what I can find when looking around in a place like this." Ragna sighed, letting out a deep breath, he soon jumped the fence, landing on the grass, or was it sand that looked like it was grass now. Not sure an not caring, the male blinked, walking around the grounds of the manor searching an looking for something new to do for the time, only issue now, he was getting bored of walking around the grounds. Cracking his hands an neck, the male sighed, stopping for a minute, only to turn an face the wall near him, placing a hand on it. Yawning lightly, Ragna looked up, soon standing on the wall, removing his hand, taking a straight path up towards the roof. Reaching the roof, he looked around, trying to see something he could do when leaving the grounds after his time was finished. Placing his hands into his pocket, he yawned before grinning, slowly shifting his feet around lightly, only to form an do a dance, you know, the Irish jig.

The lady puppet, Akita, was quick to follow the young lady to the showers. A smile crossing her face as her tentative care is appreciated from her mistress. Taking the shower head as she sprays her head with that warm water letting it soak in and wash out the dirt and sweat from the day. “A new ‘friend’? I am so proud of you, Lady Isis.” A was a tease, knowing that the friend was that dreadful Sanada child, “I knew that you would find a way to amuse yourself at that boring place though.” Those long, slender fingers gently working through her hair before grabbing the bottle of shampoo. Replacing the shower head where it belongs, Akita would gently begin to lather her lovely hair. Fingers working through to her scalp to get the soap in. The fox gently taking her time to enjoy the this with her little charge. Despite being made of a soft, light wood, Akita still felt as if she were a human... that is likely due to the way Shun created and controlled them. He even had a set of ten specialized puppets for his own style of puppetry.
Speaking of Shun proper, the male sat atop of a building near the Kage Manor he was working on one of his specialty puppets. When he looked up from his work he saw a strange young male doing a dance on the roof of the Kage building. Wordless, the fox boy leap from his perch and silently landed on the roof with the young man. "You are a very random individual, sir." He spoke politely though there was an air of annoyance to him as well. "By the way, do you happen to know where you are dancing? This is the home of the Princess of the Sand, Lady Isis." Shun stood a good ways away from the male in the case that his intent was hostile. A sly, fox like grin crossed his face nearly ear to ear, "Or are you here for less than savory reasons seeing as the young lady is not seeing company at the moment." The male crossed his arms over his chest, though his form was not an intimidating one not that he was trying to be intimidating.

With luck she will serve her purpose in my plans for the future. You never know though, it is usually a challenge to get plans to work perfectly when a regular living being is involved." Isis says with a light chuckle to herself, while closing her eyes and allowing the female to begin to correctly and completely wash her heavily dirtied silver hair. Between the dirt, blood and the occasional stick or twig that her locks had managed to collect, Isis was certainly a wreck in all appearances. So this unexpected assistance was a luxury that she would certainly not pass up any time soon. Isis sighed contently as she fully relaxed amidst the cleaning procedure from this female. Taking the time to fully decompress from the stresses and excitement that had fallen upon her for the last day or so that she had been amidst others that were not a part of the Village Hidden in Sand. After a short amount of time to which she allowed the female with her to thoroughly massage the shampoo into her hair and scalp, Isis straightens her back a bit and turns her head just enough to allow one slowly opening pale red eye to look backwards at the female. "I assume since I do not completely recognize you as a Shinobi of the village, that you are either a visitor or a puppet?" She asks simply, her face and body language still completely relaxed and showing no signs of hostility or even the slightest bit of concern. This minute detail was not something that she required to know, although after spending the short amount of time with her she did become rather curious about this female's purpose and background. At least enough to ask a question that had such an obvious answer. After all, they were both unarmed at this point, so it did not matter whether or not they had to switch into combat or not. Isis was confident in her ability to either talk or fight her way out of any trouble that may be coming her way due to this encounter. She did know that another Shinobi, Shun, tended to hang around the Kage's home. So the possibility of this being a sophisticated puppet created by Shun was not something she did not expect, yet there was plenty of possibility of her being wrong.

The sudden and unexpected explosions that rocked the Village of Hidden Sand were at first met with excited cheers, civilians and shinobi alike looking to the sky with the expectation of anticipated fireworks to appear across the sky despite the time of day. Yet none appeared, instead smoke black began to fill the sky as black smoke rose one of the outer village walls, which had collapsed into the village itself sending sand and rock scattering everywhere and destroying buildings in the process. The excited screams and partial laughter soon shifted to panicked screams of fear as black armor-clad shinobi, lacking the normal headbands and other distinguishing marks that would set them as part of the normal collection of villages. These black clad shinobi bound across both the ground and rooftops, slapping and igniting explosive tags upon buildings as they pass in order to continue the explosive assault.
Several black armored shinobi strolling effortlessly through the streets, drawing weapons that were not normally seen by the shinobi world, firearms. Aiming and firing at a rapid pace, they shot down any civilian that crossed their paths as they marched through the burning and crumbling main streets of the village.
A single twin blade wielding cloaked shinobi walked out of the destroyed wall's new entrance way after the destruction came underway. Simply strolling forwards while more armed black armor clad shinobi walked beside him, all of them also continuing to aim back and forth and fire upon any other living thing that walked into their crosshairs. The cloaked shinobi simply stopping towards the center of the village, arms clasped behind their back as if they were awaiting some sort of reception. While their minions continued to attack and destroy everything that was around them.
"I am quite sure with your intelligence, Lady Isis, that you will have that meddlesome Sanada playing right into whatever scheme you have devised." Akita spoke as if it were a fact that she knew that Isis was destined to succeed. Her fingers final leaving her delicate silver hair, "Close your eyes. I shall be rinsing out the shampoo now." Warning given, the feminine puppet reaches for the shower head once more, before disconnecting it and letting the water gently shower over the young Isis. She took a moment to rinse out the young lady's silver locks, before once more returning the shower head. It was then that Isis asked about her. A simple statement of origin as she did not recognize her from the normal villagers of Hidden Sand. "Lady Isis, that statement reads as you don't see me worth being from your village, or human. Though both have inkling of truth to them I s--"
Her statement cut short, as explosions rocked the village, "I apologize Lady Isis... your bath will have to wait." Akita quick to stand and leave, whilst using her towel to dry the linger water and shampoo from her form. the sleek, feminine doll made short work of getting dressed before heading back out of the shower, "See you soon, Lady Isis." With that Akita vanished from sight of the Akasun girl, know with the clean, soft silver hair of her own.
Shun was already outside as the explosions started going off, causing him to look away from the jig dancing ninja long enough for him to vanish in that quick instant. A deep sigh leaves his lips, as the fox boy doesn't give a second thought to leaping off the roof and spiraling towards the ground, before using some of his chakra strings to grapple onto another building to get to the next roof quicker. Shun was competent and skilled as a runner and soon found himself no more than a block away from the invading ninja army.

Of course the fact of the matter was that the moment that she was about to get an answer for the question that she had posed, a sudden explosion rocked the kage building that they were in and the sound of chaos beginning to erupt outside could be heard. Isis frowned immediately, at least thankful that the female she was with had managed to remove the majority of the soap from her hair before the explosion happened. Yet now she was certain that she would be stepping back outside to be dirtied once again. No one attacks her home, especially when she, the princess of Hidden Sand, was there and well prepared for whatever was going to happen next. Isis rose immediately, raising the towel off her body and drying it in a quick flourish of motion before launching it across the room and onto the floor in the corner. She would deal with a mess like this later, a snap of her wrist sent a chakra string across the room and turning the water off in an instant before she nakedly followed after Akita into the adjoined changing room. Snagging the first set of clothing she came across, her slightly tattered and dirtied dress being dragged right back over her head before she tugged her hair free from it's fabric and slipped her nearby shoes back onto her feet. Isis scowled to herself as further explosions began to go off across the city and slowly rolling closer towards the kage building in the process.
As Isis quickly strolled out of the front entrance, she viewed the chaos that was going on around her. Her face darkening even more as she watched the gunfire of firearms in the distance shooting bullets into fleeing civilians and defending shinobi alike. "Guns..? Really? Wow." She says aloud to herself before immediately forming a hand seal and drawing a small scroll that was still strapped to a belt on the back of her dress. Extending the scroll out before her, she then rose both hands in front of it and chakra strings connected with the paper that was now on the ground before puppets began launching out of the paper and becoming an army before her in the streets, each one connected to a series of strings coming off of her fingertips that only one that was knowledgeable in the Akasun jutsu or able to see chakra directly would be able to finely notice. "Let's get this play underway then.." She says finally while leaping up and backwards to stand above the entrance of the kage building and then whipping her hands forwards as a hundred battle ready puppets race off into the village with the goals of taking down these attackers and ending their lives as quickly as possible. She had to save her village after all, and this was the most direct route for the time being. Since her level of power was still a little lacking in the long run.

A home was commonly considered one's safe place. It is a place of security, familiarity, and comfort. These were just some of the reasons why the gremlin known as Zero never left her house, much less her room. Life hadn't been so bad lately, her favorite show Rise of the Shinobi had just come around for its majorly hyped first season. Gosh it felt as though they had teased it forever with multiple trailers and merchandise. She even had multiple pins of some of her favorites already. Of course she had more, and might have written a fanfiction or two. Needless to say it was by no means are far stretch that she was already obsessed.
So lets be honest the first couple of episodes were a little bit of a bore, but hey maybe it was a slow burn. The worst part was her favorite character had not even shown up yet. At least her second favorite had and my god was Zero not worthy to even look in her direction. At least things were getting a little more interesting now. Multiple villages were under attack, and it was up to our lovely bunch of ninjalings to save them from a bunch of black clad unknown attackers. Who were they anyway? The young teen had down a deep dive into multiple reddit threads gathering up as much information as she could. There was a whole lot of nothing to be found so far besides conspiracy theories.
Taking a sip of her pipping hot coffee, she started watching Hidden Sand. She was starting to get used to the fact that she could watch where ever she wanted to. It was weird, almost watching one of those reality shows that had cameras set up that ran inbetween episodes. There was Shun, his latest puppet Akita, and Isis. Perhaps not the most wholesome trio but they had their positive qualities. There were also interesting to watch which was why she was indeed watching them. Shifting back to the invaders she would mumble under her breath. 'Alright who the heck are you?' The hacker would zoom onto the black clad unknown shinobi, looking for any marking that would give away who he worked for or was allied with. It was time to test out her new found abilities. There wasn't much she could do, but heck she was going to have as much fun as possible. Was she going to try to communicate with one of these beloved characters? Oh heck no. The thought alone nearly made her social anxiety bubble to the surface. Now messing with a nameless NPC? Easy Peasy Lemon Squuezy. A series of clicking away at her keyboard echoed in her quiet room before she inhaled a sharp breath preparing herself to 'yell' in his mind.
"BANG A LANG A DOO DAA!!!"

Emily had been sleeping on the back of a caravan on her way to the Hidden Sand Village before the attack, and that had been the way of it as the cargo from the far off land of Amestris had arrived along with her. "Eyah, such a dusty place. However, it will be the source of economic prosperity.", she remarked with a firm nod of her head. It was part of her duty as one of the famous Howard family to bring the wealth of knowledge of alchemy and the power behind it to make allies abroad. This was true if she were ever to become a hero of her land and develope her own alchemical power to bring back and enhance the overall knowledge of her country.
Her time in the eastern lands had taught her much about how combat and warfare were performed. It was less straightforward and more stealth and subterfuge. Though, despite this difference, Emily had picked up the way of the ninja with little difficulty. This was, in part, due to her keen intellect. However, her robotic arm also played its part.
Emily had been born with only one arm as a birth defect, and so the replacement automail that had been grafted into her body had become an artificial surrogate for the limb, which often gave her the advantage in tough situations where her brains failed and she needed physical strength for the solution. It also helped that being born to one of the most prolific and advanced families in the Howard line, her power was regarded as second to none. Thus she was afforded some of the top of the line medical care to aleviate her disability.
Though as she was helping with the unpacking in the caravan, the trouble had started in Sand. The technologically advanced ninja showing up and throwing down only seemed to stress to her that now was the time she would have to step up on her training and prove her worth. She walked toward one of the black armored shinobi who looked at the short alchemist and simply moved to walk past her, snorting, 'Step aside little girl.' This only sparked her irritation as she clenched her automail fist and swung upward clocking them in the jaw angrily. "WHO'RE YOU CALLING SO SHORT THAT SHE CANT SEE THE TOP OF THE TABLE?!", she shouted with no care to stealth or the like. It was clear she was not a ninja in the traditional sense. Still, her fist connected with a solid clang and the metal of the armored jaw damaged her white silk glove, forcing her to take it off and reveal the robotic hand beneath. "Now... Who else wants to call me short?! I'll knock your freakin' blocks off!", she roared angrily, a sharp contrast to her usually cheerful personality. It was then that the Sand Village would see that it was certainly a mistake to poke at her lack of height. Emily was on a warpath.
