Biography
PERSONALITY:
Konan is rather Machiavellian. Her ultimate goal is peace and harmony, and she considers herself to be a pillar supporting the bridge to peace. She can be quite loving, dedicated and loyal to the people who matter most to her, and can be compassionate and self-sacrificing even toward people she doesn’t know. However, she can also be very ruthless and calculating when it comes to achieving her goals and protecting her loved ones. She’s a careful strategist who will observe potential threats and what they can do before engaging in combat with a person. And should someone prove to be a threat to her goals and especially her loved ones? She’ll take whatever measures necessary to remove that threat. Konan is quiet, introverted, and doesn’t show her emotions easily, preferring a more controlled and stoic outward demeanour. She tends to prefer quieter activities and interacting one on one or in small groups rather than being the center of attention. While her goals don’t include being in a position of leadership, she is nonetheless a capable leader when the situation calls for it. She is dependable and competent.

IN-GAME HISTORY:
Konan was born into the Shikyoin pureblood family. Her parents were not the clan’s successors, but they were the first of their generation to produce offspring. With the family’s involvement in the world of business and philanthropy, Konan was taught to be pragmatic, but also to value peace, compassion and beauty. She became more hardened and ruthless when her parents sacrificed themselves three thousand years ago to turn powerful vampire enemies of the Shikyoin clan human. Two thousand years ago, the vampire noble she’d been in love with for hundreds of years was killed, which further hardened her. Konan worked diligently over the centuries to become powerful enough to defeat anyone who might make trouble for the family and their allies without anyone having to resort to that sort of sacrifice. In doing so, she became the Shikyoin family’s unofficial enforcer, taking care of problems discreetly so that the family could continue to shine as a philanthropic business family in the public eye. When Hibiki enrolled at the Academy, Konan was sent to watch over her

"You have reached Konan Shikyoin. Leave a message."
origami_ninja: (curious)
[Konan is far from a social butterfly, but on occasion she's been making an effort to reach out to others in Luceti. Since the weather is nice and there are plenty of flowers in bloom, she decides to ask if there's anyone out there who shares her lesser known hobby.]

Out of curiosity, how many people here in Luceti have an interest in flower pressing? Specifically, who already presses flowers as a hobby, and who would be interested in learning how it's done?

[She's not going to immediately offer to demonstrate at Art Club, though she will teach how it's done if Rapunzel or Ikki asks her to.]

[Though she was an outgoing and friendly child, Konan became far more reserved over the years. Those years have also ingrained a sense of paranoia into her. She wouldn't use the journals at all, but she has a message for her fellow draftees and delivering it is more important than her comfort.

It doesn't really matter if the Malnosso hear her message since it's related to their draft and it's otherwise filtered to select people. The one person she'd actually worry about being here isn't - talented as he is, there is no way he could be here for very long without any of the shinobi here discovering his presence.
]

Some of you going on the upcoming draft already know me. For those who don't, my name is Konan. I can control paper and I've come up with a few simple non-verbal signals. Orange paper will be used to signal danger. Red will be to signal that someone is injured and needs medical attention. Blue will signal that an area is safe and one can rest and eat for a short time. White will be for delivering messages.

If anyone has any other suggestions, mention them here.
origami_ninja: (child - sad)
[Konan hasn't been seen around in the last month, courtesy of the Malnosso. She has returned, but she looks considerably younger than anyone is used to seeing her. Konan appears to be somewhere between eight and nine years old, and she's looking rather distressed as she looks into the book's video feed.]

I can't break this genjutsu, Jiraiya-sensei. Please cancel it. Or Yahiko and Nagato - if you're out of it, please help. It's been almost two hours and I can't break out of it.

[Almost two hours and she's hungry. She's doubting the information she's gotten largely because she knows genjutsu can be deceptive and she's been trying to be as rational as she can be about her situation.]

We can try again after lunch, but let's stop training for now, okay?


(ooc: Konan's memories have been tampered with, but they're not completely gone. Faces of her established CR will be familiar to her and with some help, she will be able to remember a few things - like art club or if she's played chess with your character, etc.)

How am I doing with Konan? Praise, criticism, and general comments are welcome.

(Feel free to use this post to have your character ICly contact Konan about things. This can be done through journals, or through her origami. If she's given your character origami before and they've either guessed or been told that she can use it as an extension of her senses, they can use it.

If you wish to use this post for appointments, by all means. Please put day, time and location in the subject line of your post for a meeting, and please specify journal or origami contact if you're using IC contact. Thanks!)
