General Description:
Joituru likes to dress in a comfortable manner. Wearing a baggy grey tunic with strings attaching the sleeves to the tunic itself, he would keep a blue and white rope tied around his waist, complete with a bow tied behind him. Upon his grey tunic he would also have a blue scarf hanging loosely around his neck, though it seems more like he wears it just because he likes it more-so than the actual use it was made for. Upon his left wrist is a bracelet holding seven blue gems, matched only by the tomoe-shaped blue gem earring hanging from his left ear. His hair is kept at a decently long length, though the portions that would actually hang below his head is kept in a small pony tail while the hair covering his head itself remains in a usually unkempt manner.

His eye color is an amber red, and his skin tone is a light beige color. Below his upper body would be a pair of darker gray shorts which have blue and white ropes tying them closed just below the knee. Protruding out of a small hole behind these shorts would be a large, fluffy, dirty blonde fox tail. His feet would be encased in white tabi with his choice of shoes being black and dark violet geta. Finally, tied to the rope latched around his waist is a small bell.












Personality: Joifuru has a rather dutiful character. Loyal to his village, he is selflessly dedicated to serving it in any way needed. Because of this he rather enjoys missions and being rewarded for them, even to the point where being rewarded is a form of personal motivation to him. Thanks to having no known family members and being raised in an orphanage, Joifuru has a strange attachment to those he cares about. While he will treat them in a friendly and caring manner, he will also occasionally lie to them, keep secrets from them, and overall leave them at a distance. Also if it came down to it he has little problem with betraying a friend for the sake of what he feels is right. Due to this though he has scarce friends as in a way he can be seen as rather untrustworthy.

Naturally thanks to the lack of friends and people he socializes with Joifuru is lonely. He suffers from the cold feeling of not really having anyone that stays with him consistently in a relationship and he fears that he'll just become forgotten and lost with the wind. It terrifies him that it's a very real possibility that thanks to his not trusting others and acting untrustworthy that he can become completely forgotten to everyone. He is also reckless, willing to jump head on into a battle or conflict without much of a plan. If he has ever done a deed that would against one's own morality he will only give vague answers or attempt to change the subject, as anything that can effect him greatly such as death or betrayal can weigh on his conscious greatly.

He likes having something to do. Having a day off or whatnot may sound like a nice idea to him, but he would have no idea what he should do as he doesn't even know what he likes most of the time. Working on an assignment or a mission or whatnot is something he greatly prefers. Being lost in his own thoughts seems like something he wouldn't like doing at all, so having something to place his attention on would benefit him greatly. He has more than enough energy that he wishes to burn out before he even takes a break.

Not exactly a loving type of person, Joifuru is mostly indifferent to the idea of having a love life or a family in general. He thinks about it, sure, but actually having one is something that he feels he shouldn't have. He isn't exactly interested in love unless it can be used towards his advantage. He may be afraid of being completely alone, but he still isn't one to immediately search for more intimate solutions such as love or family. He is wary around children, confused about the concept of a romantic relationship, and annoyed at the thought that he needs to immediately be attached to someone because he has their blood in his veins.

He doesn't know what he truly likes or dislikes, which is an odd but true thing about him. It is this that explains why he dislikes having days off or anything of the sort, as he wouldn't know what to do with the time he has to do whatever he likes. This is also why he is a bit of a workaholic, unwilling to take breaks until he is out of energy.

History:
An Hinowagakure orphan since birth, Joifuru never had a true name from his blood family, nor has he ever known who they were. The earliest moment he remembers is when he was just a young child and he was simply walking around, not even knowing what to do. He saw a child playing with some toy blocks, another small group wielding sticks, pretending to fight one another, and finally just a single child sitting on their bed, reading a book. As expected, he was denied by each one of them after requesting if he can play with them, with the small group even threatening to beat him up with their sticks. As a result, Joifuru would set to work, doing exactly what his consciousness tells him to do.

He would, feigning the ever so common ignorance of a seven year old, trip and fall onto the fellow child's block structure, knocking it over and grabbing one of the key pieces to the structure, hiding it under his sleeve while he was pushed away from the fellow child. Then, as the small group ran by him, he would slip the block into one of their pockets, where he would joyfully stand back away from the rest and wait a small while. It wouldn't take long before the first child noticed his precious missing piece sticking out of the pocket of one of the stick-wielding ones, and almost right away they were on the floor, rolling over while locked in a flurry of flailing, pint-sized fists.

The rest of the group circled the two, watching and chanting "fight! fight!" as it continued. Even the book-reading child joined the crowd, which was perfect as right then the young Joifuru would lightly tap on another's shoulder before hiding away, causing the child to act confused for a little bit before he began questioning the book reading child, which led to arguing, and then fighting as well. After this childish trouble was started, Joifuru immediately went to the first adult he saw, telling the woman that there were fights happening before leading her to the room he was in before.

As each child was scolded and punished, Joifuru silently watched, a happy, innocent smile etched onto his young face. It was the very first time he had acted in a deceptive manner in order to get revenge, though not the last. Throughout his time in the orphanage and even during his time in the academy, he had lied and used deceit in order to either get what he really desired or revenge, though it would always be on either the students that were his level and below, which led to him getting his first, true name. Joifuru Itsuwarimono or "Joyful Liar" became his true name, and the name he now goes by, and as such he was proud of it. He wasn't proud of the potential friends he had lost due to his schemes, though he will wear the name with pride, as it in itself gave him the identity he holds now.

Having graduated from the Academy now, Joifuru is a full fledged Genin looking for work.

RP Sample:
The night was cold, colder than most. With darkness enshrouding him, Joifuru would make his way through the streets of Hinowagakure with slight haste. He hated having to work odd jobs until it was late, but he needed the money in order to support himself. He thought though that he wouldn't have to resort to something like cleaning some farm animals up though. Sure animals seem cool and whatever at first, but then you have to clean the shits, and then that cool aspect they have lowers quite a bit. On the way back Joifuru's steps would slow before coming to a full stop. Looking around, he didn't see anyone else around him. This would indeed be strange, as just now he could've sworn he felt someone's warm breath upon the back of his neck. Shrugging it off though, he would simply continue on his walk home.

Once more though Joifuru stopped in his tracks, though this time immediately. Unlike before though this was a sound he couldn't just simply dismiss. After both of his feet stopped moving and the sounds of his footsteps ended, Joifuru had heard a single, extra footstep. Blood pumping, Joifuru wouldn't even bother looking around. Immediately he would run away as fast as he possibly could, not bothering to stop until he had reached the door to his home, which he ripped open and slammed shut, locking it. Breathing more heavily than normal, Joifuru would take a few steps back away from the door. Soon enough, in the midst of the darkened room, and the silence which overtook it, knocking sounds could be heard. One, twice, three times in total, before the fiddling of the doorknob can be heard as well, the squeaky metal screaming it's use. After a few moments of this occurring, it would end, and the tired Joifuru would simply go to his room, lock the door, and fall on his bed, where he would be overtaken by sleep, not once ever thinking about the face that his bedroom window was cracked open, or that there were mudtracks which led to the corner of his room.
