Like her dress, the armor has a white and black pattern to it. The moons, however, are golden and the bow is red.

Height: 5'4"

Weight: 115 pounds

Personality: Naturally shy since birth, Tooru has always been known for her quiet disposition which often leads others to think she is weak and an incapable warrior. This is greatly incorrect, however, as Tooru is a naturally gifted swords-woman and has been ever since she was a small child. Tooru is just shy among those she does not know or care about. She doesn't make eye contact and rarely speaks unless spoken to directly. This does not mean that she stays quiet if something important needs to be said. Or she'll tell Excors to do it. Around people she knows and likes she is almost a totally different person. She's talkative and becomes more confident.

History:

Birth Arc: It was nothing less than fate that had brought Tooru's parents to the island on which they now live. The former samurai had put away their swords and took on the life of travelers; traveling the seas in search of new lands. On one night of their journey, the weather took a rather extreme turn. The seas became violent, the winds became stronger and lightning flashed brightly in the sky. The ship that they were using threatened to capsize at any moment. They braced themselves for the inevitable, putting on life vests so they will be able to at least stay afloat in the violent waters.

As they had predicted, the boat capsized. They tried their best to remain together in the storm. Eventually, the storm had taken them to nearby mountains that rose out of the seas. Though weak from being thrashed around by the violent waters, they managed to climb to the top. To their surprise, their was a village protected by these mountains and it looked and sounded like it was inhabited by people.

Their suspicions were proved correct when they were approached by shinobi and taken to the village's leaders. The one that spoke seemed to be the most experience of the trio, although he appeared to be the youngest out of all of them. He introduced himself as Seisoku. Tooru's parents had explained what had happened to their ship and how they had arrived on the island. They asked if they could take refuge on the island and Seisoku, sensing that Tooru's mother was pregnant with her, agreed to let them stay.

It wasn't long until Tooru was born.

Samurai Academy Arc: Although there is no official Samurai academy on Tenma no Kuni (yet), Tooru was trained by her parents in the way of the Samurai and in her clan's special techniques. Tooru was a very skilled warrior and learned the ways of kenjutsu faster than both of her parents. At the age of 8 she was able to use a katana as well as her father and mother.

After being taught the basics of being a samurai, her parents taught her even more complicated techniques, such as Iaido; the technique she uses to this day.

Her parents trained her until she was considered Chugen level. They approached Seisoku, and asked him if he'd allow a Samurai to work together with his Shinobi. Interested in the offer, Seisoku allowed Tooru to train under her parents as a Genin-leveled Samurai.

Chugen Arc: Now a chugen and now training underneath her parents as warriors of Onigakure, Tooru, had been sent on missions like any other shinobi would have been. The only difference between her and a shinobi, is that she focused mainly on techniques involving her swords, rather than jutsu.

Tooru learned more about her clan and their abilities. It was told to her, that her kekkei genkai allowed her to manipulate the properties of light and create light out of chakra. This light would burn through her enemies and cleanse the land of evil. So Tooru tried her best to unlock her kekkei genkai.

Almost every night, she would go training to unleash her abilities. She would take a ferry to travel to the island where others go to train. Here she would train in the forest. Setting up many obstacles and other training exercises to make herself stronger.

Her father followed her one day and observed her training. When she was done, still frustrated that she could not unlock her clan ability, her father approached her and said that her clan ability will come out in time and told her not to try and force it.

Although she was still determined to unlock her ability, Tooru now had to focus on the upcoming chunin exams, which she would partake in to prove herself worthy of becoming an Elite Chugen.

The battles were difficult and long, but in the end, Tooru was one of the many who came out victorious. It was then she was promoted to Elite Chugen.

Elite Chugen Arc: Tooru had begun training for her kekkei genkai as soon as she became an elite chugen. She had been able to control it slightly, but not she was aiming for more control over it. She spent her days training with her mother and father in the art of hikariton and her nights training by herself. She began to be very adept at controlling her abilities.

One day while out training at night one of her techniques came close to hitting one of the Akumakages. She rushed to apologize and figured out that it was the one that was called Excors. He accepted the apology and offered to help her with controlling her chakra. She began to meet with him each night to control her chakra better and became an exceptional Samurai.

Kyuunin Arc: Thanks to Excors, Tooru was now able to become a Kyuunin. She and Excors began to spend a lot of time together after this. On her 20th birthday, Excors had asked her to marry him and she accepted.
