Appearance: Yuffie is an average height for a girl her age, which tends to mean she's a little shorter than most guys around her age. The ninja is lean and also sports a very thin frame and limbs, making her appear quite delicate. Tough training from the day she was old enough to process information has kept her in great physical condition like that, so she's stronger than she appears(But not by as much as she'd like, admittedly). Yuffie has brown hair so dark it may as well be black, cut short and usually parted in front of her face. She has small features to match her small build, but her grey eyes can seem huge when she gets a particularly motivating idea in that head of her's. Miss Kisaragi might consider herself to be a beautiful maiden, but truthfully her face is more plain than pretty, at least in the traditional female sense.
Yuffie likes clothes. She has a ton of casual and high-class attire at home of all kinds. Officially this is for her various disguises when she had to go undercover or be nondescript as part of her ninja training. Unofficially... Yuffie likes clothes. Still, when its time to show off her moves, Yuffie does have one particular outfit she prefers above the others. A belly-exposing, sleeveless green top with straps over her shoulders and some extremely short khaki shorts with a blue belt form the base. Knee-surpassing white leggings and fishnet arm covers add to the look. Large yellow boots and forearm-length fingerless gloves for efficiency, and finally a thin yellow scarf for flair. Of course, no ninja outfit would be complete without her Wutai Clan headband under her bangs, its two tied-off ends hanging down behind her head.
Personality:•General Persona: Yuffie is very confrontational in a social setting. She will not back down from voicing any and all opinions loud and clear if she feels so inclined to do so. She is also very nosy, shameless about picking into the personal lives of others while revealing little to none about herself most of the time. She easily appears to first impressions as a mischief-loving happy-go-lucky girl and that's a pretty accurate statement. Yuffie is also quick to try and cheer others up, because when she's not sad it seems wrong that anyone else needs to be sad. Unfortunately her methods tend to be a little more blunt than what would actually be effective.
•Inner Thought Process: Yuffie's inner monologue is generally filtered through the narration of a great epic starring herself as the main character. Being born as the heir to her world's most influential ninja clan has given the girl high expectations of herself that she plans to fulfill, though this does sometimes cause her to overestimate herself. Sometimes people think she's a bit clumsy for a ninja, but the truth is those moments tend to only come around when she is willingly ignoring her own limits to try and surpass them... and then fails to do so(Admittedly there are also a few rare times of genuine clumsiness). Yuffie likes to imagine other people think as highly of her as she does, resulting in her believing that her opinion is just as wanted by everyone else as it is as by her. As the hero of her own story Yuffie also tends to brush a few things under the mental rug, such as properly recognizing when things are her fault. This can also backfire, causing a very large inverse to her outer personality when things go completely wrong and she can't quite handle it.
•Fears: Yuffie's biggest fear is her old man Godo(Whom she has still yet to defeat in their training spars). Not just in a fight, but rather in her life. As the next in line to the clan, and with Godo having no sons, her father trying to control all the little details of her life was a big issue for the girl growing up. The rebellion against this led to the ninja's current state of adventurousness. One of her biggest fears related to her father is being married off so some guy can lead the clan, so Yuffie trains hard to eb better than anyone else. Outside of her family problems Miss Kisaragi's biggest fear is just plain screwing up. When one of her ninja feats goes wrong of she gets caught in a less-than-lawful act the girl knows that only big trouble can follow.
•Pleasures: Not much is better in life than a successful heist. Well, maybe a successful heist with a friend. More rebellion against her father's ways, Yuffie has been sneaking out of their home since she was skilled enough to do so and making friends with other kids despite the usual secrecy their clan was supposed to prioritize. The existence of the clan hadn't been a secret for some years though, so Yuffie has thankfully not needed any particularly hash reprimanding. Because of her upbringing Yuffie's two greatest pleasures are successfully completing goals with her skills and spending time with her friends. Being praised by her friends for her skills(Or anything, really) is a nice blend that is also enjoyed, when possible.
•Quirks: Yuffie may have a wee bit of kleptomania. She's not totally crazy, that's for sure, but she just can't resist the pure challenge of trying to sneak someone's belongings away without them being none the wiser. When she was a little kid this tended to result in friends' and neighbours' houses being turned upside-down as she looked for hidden treasure and left more than enough incriminating messes behind. These days she's a lot more subtle... except when it comes to a certain wizard who Yuffie has decided is her ultimate challenge. The girl also tends to purposefully give people nicknames or just not call them what they wish to be called, because she likes the attention. Ah, yes: Attention. If there was ever a greater weakness for a ninja than being an attention hog then the Wutai Clan hadn't found it yet. Unfortunately it was something their next potential leader was going to have to get over.But With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility

But Your History Decides Your Version of "Responsibility"
[/b][/size][/center][/u]History:
In the years before Ansem the Wise advanced the world to prosperity there were many people who fought over land. The world was a huge and barren place full of blue canyons and precious little farming land or water, but one place where it was abundant was the site of what we now call The Radiant Garden. Ages past people warred over this land and some groups made profit training elite fighters to be hired out by rulers to aid in the conflicts. The greatest of these was a clan of ninja known as the Wutai. When technology advanced and unity was preferred over strife Ansem the Wise brought everyone together to live on the fertile ground in harmony, but many of the mercenary groups feared their livelihood would dissolve. Fortunately the Wutai Clan stood beside the new ruler of the land and gave their support, suppressing any rebellion as best they could and following Ansem's new laws of peaceful resolution. Although the fighting ended some people still feared the existence of monsters beyond their borders, but thankfully all thoughts of rebellion were erased. The Wutai Clan became a silent supporter of Ansem the Wise and his new order, protecting the people from any threats like an invisible police force alongside the openly seen Castle Guards and other defenders of the peace.
It was during this time of prosperity that Yuffie Kisaragi was born to Godo Kisaragi, the leader of the clan. Godo's wife, whom he loved, died shortly thereafter, and he refused to remarry. Because of this Godo had no son to inherit the clan's leadership and the responsibility was left to his daughter. Turning all of his attention to her Yuffie was trained to become a great ninja master in both mind and body from the earliest possible age, but her father's tendency to influence every detail of her life was less than what she desired. Even before she became a teenager Yuffie gained skills quickly from her own attempts to sneak out of their home and make friends, as well as to avoid her father's "schedule" when possible. She became rebellious to the ways of the ninja, wanting to live however she desired.
Years passed and Yuffie seemed to be more of a symbol of everything the Wutai Clan did not wish to be. She was openly known and recognized, perhaps infamous was a better word, to the general public, especially as a nuisance. She kept some respectable friends such as the older Aerith Gainsborough who recognized Yuffie's personal struggles and wanted to watch out for her, but also ended up in a some she should not have. One such friendship was with a girl from high society who lived in the castle named Kairi. Kairi herself was a fine friend, perhaps even a good influence on Yuffie, but it was Yuffie's bad influence on her that was more of the perceived problem as the two often sneaked her out of the castle without permission.
Normally the older ninja of the clan would just contain Yuffie effectively of course, but since that just made her more rebellious at first Godo decided to allow her the freedom she sought and see if she would grow out of the phase. As her teen years came and no signs of change appeared it became heavily whispered in the Kisaragi home that Yuffie would have to be married to someone more suited to be the leader once she was old enough. Well, one can bet that the Single White Rose of Wutai(As she sometimes referred to herself) would have none of that! Focus on her training was redoubled(As well as her acts of mischief around town) with fresh intent. Nobody was going to be better suited to lead the clan if Yuffie Kisaragi had anything to say about it!
And so the adventures and misadventures of the teenage ninja out of prove herself began anew.
