BIOGRAPHY โ PART I :Within Shimo no Kuni, Katsu was born into a family of five. She showcased a promising future from birth, being the only child in three generations to receive the Hata Clan's Kekkei Genkai โ a Dลjutsu named: Nijushigamigan. However, it quickly came to the family's attention that this wasn't the only
' GIFT ' Katsu was born with. From birth, Katsu showed prominent traits of being a hyper-sensitive empath.
In her youth, she became an outcast. Unknowingly using her abilities, caused the other children and even some adults to grow weary of her and most times attempted to avoid her if they could. This led to a conference among the village leaders, who implored to the Hata family that Katsu be killed, in fear that the Kekkei Genkai they attempted to bury for decades had resurfaced and would bring upon them, an end.
Unable to agree to an egregious proposal, Katsu's father was able to convince the others that she could prove useful if they allowed her to train. Accepting this idea, the Daimyo had the Hata family executed in front of Katsu in order to activate a leaden progression of her Kekkei Genkai and began ruthless training routines to mold her into the village's idea of a perfect weapon.
Over the course of the next four years, this plan had become a major success. Katsu had survived the onslaught of abusive manipulation and became a critical lead in the village's specialty of espionage. Gathering intel from across the lands, leaving the only trace of her existence behind, crimson-hued, blood-stained feathers.
It wasn't until some odd months after her twelfth birthday that her life would change drastically, when she had saved a boy's life during one of her missions. It was shortly after that the two would begin to have feelings for one another, after sneaking away from their villages to see each other. One night, after seeing one another and promising to elope once they were older, Katsu returned to her village. Only to be confronted by the Daimyo, who happily served her the boy's head on a silver platter โ quite literally.
While the Daimyo was intending to unlock the final stage of the Ninjushigamigan, instead, Katsu was overwhelmed with emotion and passed out. Angered that his tactic had failed unlike before, he took Katsu to Yลซrei shima, wounded her and left her to die in isolation. Ridding the shinobi world of an all too dangerous Kekkei Genkai.
BIOGRAPHY โ PART II :Fortunately for those who tried to be rid of her, Katsu did die on that island, if only for a fleeting moment. Whether it was by will, or the guiding hands of fate, Katsu awoke under the moon and first snow fall of the year; with the Shinigami no Dousatsu finally activated. Though she was not alone. Watching over her was Anantashesha, who would attempt to devour her upon her awakening. However, due to Katsu's speed, agility and stamina, albeit injured, was able to outmaneuver the serpent. To which the two then engaged in a cognitive battle between the strength of their abilities. With Katsu managing to gain the upper hand in a final last effort, Anantashesha admitted defeat and granted her a contract, becoming her Kuchiyose summon.
With the help of Anantashesha, she was able to return to Yumegakure and together the two of them eradicated the corrupted heads and wiped the memories of the civilians who were deemed innocent โ creating
ghosts of their former selves. Whose rumors spread akin to ghastly whispers. Thus, this brought a change of name to the village as well, it became
Yureigakure, said to be ruled by the phantom that claws at their minds.
Meanwhile, Katsu set off to find the affiliates of the aforementioned Daimyo:
Kaito Chikashi, who had suddenly disappeared. Solely to track down Kaito to make him pay for his unforgiveable crimes.
