Skills: Asuka is a ninjutsu specialist. She possesses an abnormally large chakra pool and makes good use of it by employing wide area destructive jutsu to overwhelm opponents. She typically attacks with Fire and Lava Release jutsu from mid to long range. In close range, she uses Explosion Release in conjunction with taijutsu to blast enemies away and leave them open to her wide range assault. In terms of physical traits, she exhibits great speed not just in movements but also in making hand seals. Her chakra control is also excellent and efficient. Even when spamming high-level jutsu, she regulates well how much chakra she expends.
Weaknesses: High-level Water Release jutsu can counter her main offense of Fire and Lava Release, forcing her to rely on her less destructive Earth Release jutsu. She has a volatile temper and is fairly susceptible to being goaded into attacking when pushing the right buttons. She is a straightforward fighter who uses few if any tricks or gimmicks.
Equipment: *Shuriken
*Kunai
*Explosive tags

Personality: Fittingly enough, Asuka possesses a fiery personality. She is serious, passionate and competitive; always looking for opportunities to stand alone above others. She can be somewhat brash and holds a fair amount of pride. She doesn't take kindly to insults and will be more than happy to oblige anyone looking to provoke her. Though she sometimes talks down to people, she never actually underestimates anyone and gives it her all against whoever she faces. Being in the heat of battle is where she feels most at home, but she isn't bloodthirsty. Rather, she enjoys letting loose as it gets her blood pumping. She almost never backs down from a challenge, and is in fact the first to propose one when she encounters someone she perceives to be strong.
One would think that such a spirited persona would be a problem child and difficult to control. But in reality, Asuka is fiercely loyal to her village and is one of the most trustworthy ninja there, faithfully carrying out orders.
Strengths: Confidence and charisma are two of Asuka's greatest strengths. She has the ability to rally others to a cause and inspire them to succeed. She is a natural optimist and has a never say die attitude. Perhaps unexpectedly she is also a quick thinker, able to rapidly adapt and respond to changes in the situation. She is able to display feats of resourcefulness despite her straightforward fighting style.
Interests/Habits: Asuka loves games, challenges and anything else that plays to the tune of her competitive spirit. Naturally this is also complemented by a love for training and sparring.
¤¤¤ ORIGIN ¤¤¤
Family Members: See History
Place of Origin: Iwagakure
History: Asuka's father is the former captain of Iwagakure's Explosion Corps and her mother is a descendant of a former Four Tails Jinchuuriki. As their only daughter, she inherited both their Explosion Style and Lava Style techniques. Due to her exceptional chakra, she almost became the next host of the Four Tails if not for the influence and strong opposition of her parents to her candidacy. Knowing full well the hard life that Jinchuuriki live, they wanted her to have no part of it. Thus she was blessed with the opportunity to grow up as a regular girl and ninja of her village. With her heritage though, it was pretty easy to imagine that she would be anything but regular.
She graduated at the top of her class in ninjutsu. When the time came for her chuunin exams, she was almost disqualified for putting the audience in danger. In the end it was ruled that the facilitators were at fault for not being prepared enough. She was allowed to continue and was one of the lucky few to pass that year. Thanks to that incident however, she underwent harsh training for the next few years to better control her jutsu, delaying her promotion to a jounin even though she was already powerful enough to be one. She was finally deemed ready and received her new rank at the age of 17. At the same time, her father retired and named her the new captain of the Explosion Corps as a sign of trust in her abilities.
