This place has been dead for awhile...so Rishi's decided to revive-d it! And the OC we're featuring today is....
(drumroll)
...Ijo Hyuga!!
(NOTE: She's seventeen in this picture.)
Ijo Hyuuga is fifteen when she first appears, about three days after the Chuunin exams. She is about five-ten, with red hair and the heridetary Byakugan eyes she got from her father--HIzashi Hyuga. Ijo Hyuuga is Neji Hyuga's half-sister, born out of wedlock to her mother, Kisako, and Hizashi Hyuga. She was not given the curse mark, for she was not born under full Hyuga heritige.
When Hizashi was killed by the cloud village, Kisako, fearing Hiashi and wanting Ijo's saftey, took Ijo one rainy night and fled to her hometown of the Whirlpool village. Ijo was five years old when she left her home and her younger brother, whom she cared for deeply.
Nine and a half years later, Ijo Hyuuga returned to Konohagakure, much to the displeasure of Hiashi Hyuuga, who, after she had arrived, 'cadged' her.
Over the course of those nine and a half years, Neji Hyuuga had forgotten about his sister, seeing as he was only four when she was taken away. Ijo, disapointed by this, tried her best to be the kind of sister she had promised their father, and herself, that she would be--protective and kind. Eventually, the two develop a sibling-like relationship, to the point that Neji comes to love Ijo as a big sister.
Ijo is quick to get to the point, so much that sometimes she accidentally hurts someone else's feelings without knowing. Ijo enjoys eating sweet rice cakes and doing missions--by the time Naruto returns from his two and a half year journey, Ijo had already become a jonin, and becomes an ANBU op soon afterwards. She is a workaholic, taking as many as ten to fifteen to twenty mission a day. This can cause problems for her, as she will go to the limits to complete a mission.
Ijo has fallen in love with Shikamaru Nara, but she does not wish to confess to him, fearing she will be even more of a liability to the clan.
Ijo is willing to die if it benifits her brother. She has been researching the curse mark, and trying to find a way to release the curse for her brother, who, if he is not 'freed', will be forced into a marraige with Hinata Hyuuga. As of now, she has not found a way to release the curse, but she keeps trying. Neji is the most precious person to Ijo.
So what do you think? Would you be willing to read a fic on Ijo? Please comment and tell Rishi!
