Kandis Tenraku

Kandis was a shy and mysterious girl, always blushing when a cute guy would look at her, and always refusing to drink alcohol. She was all around a good girl who followed the rules. She worked in her mother’s hospital and even treated her own clients that made her popular amongst their customers, she lived quietly on the second floor of the shop with her mother, enjoying life as a quiet nurse. She has no memory of her father, as her mother never spoke of him or had any signs that she was married. She was in the age of her early teens and stayed with her mother, who was very old and sickly, because not only was her life’s work just a floor below her but also because she would be able to take care of her mother without worrying herself to death.

However one day a series of horrible and grotesque events occurred leaving the good natured girl’s mind in turmoil. It was in the early morning, a bad storm was brewing up outside. Thunder booming as if it’s right up next to your ears and lightning being seen dominating the blackness that was the sky. She already felt uncomfortable with how this particular day has started, but if she only knew what would have happened later then she would have died of a heart attack. She had just opened the hospital for her mother when a shrouded and hunched woman entered with her son; who was tall lean, as pale as snow and wore all black, he scared Kandis so much that to her, his dark eyes appeared black and wild. Kandis’s mother was helping the two as Kandis continued to work on getting the entrance room ready. Every now and again she would look at the two, her violet-pink eyes staring at them both with fear and curiosity.

The boy turned his head slowly, smiling at Kandis he slowly approached her while his mother was talking. He tried to engage in conversation with her, and Kandis replied with soft yes’s or no’s not really wanting to talk to him. The more time the two spent within the hospital, the more she started to have a bad feeling. She found it especially odd that the store only had these two people when usually it was more full, but then again she thought it was just because of the bad weather that was happening outside. Then it happened, Kandis’s mother frowned at the lady, telling her to leave because she had told Kandis’s mother something only for her ears, and she did not like it. The old lady wouldn’t leave and her son was moving uncomfortably close to Kandis, his smile wicked and malicious he grabbed her hand and pulled her up, holding her close to his form. His thin lips met her ear as he whispered. “I want your body and soul, give them to me!” Kandis tried to get free while begging him to do whatever he wanted to do with her but to leave her mother alone and alive but he held her tightly, the boy nodded to his supposed mother as she shed her disguise and a rival ninja assassin stood in the supposed mother's place as she makes her way to Kandis and the other rival ninja.

Kandis cried out in fear. The boy tied her up, and as he took off his shirt she could see a large scar where his heart would be and underneath his hair she could see small remnants of a mask. The next few hours were horrible for her; she was tortured with her own tools of healing the sick. This man was a sick ninja his motive was unacceptable; he told her as she lay battered and bruised that he was there to just kill her clan but after seeing her beauty, he could not allow her to one day become a Kage and kill his clan off. All the while, the other ninja just stayed there and watched this all happen. Her mother saved her in the end, and during the fight, she told Kandis to leave and hide. Her mother promised to come for her after she was done killing the ninjas. Kandis followed her orders reluctantly as she ran away to hide within the clan household that wasn’t too far away. The next day, she learned that her mother was killed in the surprise attack. Since then, Kandis has developed a darker side to her personality and has learned and mastered the ways of how to be an assassin from one of the other members of her clan. Since then, she has led a double life as a medical-nin as well as an assassin.
