Alias(es): Inoue-hime, The Godhand
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Height: 1.62m
Weight: 56kg

Appearance: Katsumi2.jpg
Personality:
Outwardly, Katsumi has a regal, princess-like, respectable bearing. She appears polite and even kind, with a shining, untouchable idol-like quality. Her true, inner personality is someone who is competitive, crass, arrogant, lonely, and burdened by duty. This duality is unknown by most people, who only see the outward-facing side of her. Exceptions include those that are very close or see her in her most private moments, or those that have managed to coerce her mask into slipping.
History: Growing up in Kirigakure no Sato is a different experience for the fortunate. From birth, Katsumi was blessed by being born into the ruling family of the powerful Inoue clan, one of the founding families of the village. She received privileges that other children did not – private tutors to oversee her shinobi development, and a strict health and exercise regimen to keep her in the best physical condition. Katsumi enjoyed luxuries of the finest baths, softest beds, and servants to wait on her and take care of anything that was not deemed necessary for her education and shinobi path development.

When Katsumi joined the Academy, she excelled in all areas of shinobi basics due to the superior education of her private tutoring, while her classmates were only starting out - thus, she took the graduation test alone, and did not experience the rite of passage which caused others to refer to Kirigakure as the "Bloody Mist". This, of course, was planned and executed by the Inoue clan, to preserve their prodigal daughter from the potential of an unlucky outcome in which she might have failed the gruesome battle royale. Despite the obvious fixing of circumstances, because of her beauty, charm, and undeniable skill, she was hailed in the village as an obvious prodigy who deserved to be elevated above the rest, a true scion of the prestigious Inoue clan.

This sparked a meteoric rise for the newly minted Genin, who was placed on a team which complemented her incredible close-range skill and aggressive style. Under a Jounin sensei, the team was often used to assist in bringing down bandits or other criminals near fringe towns and smaller trade waterways. It felt like no time at all before Inoue Katsumi's name came to prominence once more, conquering the Chuunin Exams and finding herself promoted at the age of nine.

The types of missions now chosen for her relatively young team became more dangerous, and thus the Inoue passed down their prized possession – the Kusanagi no Tsurugi, a famed weapon with unparalleled, preternatural sharpness. With this weapon in hand, Katsumi found herself cutting down potential rivals, enemies of the public, and even ex-shinobi. The last of those found her promoted to Jounin at thirteen.

Of course, throughout all of the success, and the enjoyment of the benefits her position in the village's political hierarchy afforded her, there loomed a clear objective – honor your clan name. This subtle weight pressing upon Katsumi never let up. On missions, the threat of harm was chased by the shame of tarnishing the Inoue name. In public, the repercussions of a small misstep, a slightly faded smile, or the wrong words said always hovered like the jaws of a trap ready to snap shut. In private, free time meant training, exercise, or study. With every victory, there came the reminder that loss was unacceptable.
