starter one:

It was a quiet day as a young girl walked alone down a long path. Her hair was short, and black with red bangs. Her eyes were a grayish-blue color. There was a diamond symbol tattooed on her forehead. She wore a black kimono that had red clouds outlined in thick white threads. At the bottom of the kimono-sleeves were small bells that rang softly with every movement she made. On her feet were black slip-on shoes that had red ribbons lacing up her slender legs. The kimono she wore sat off her shoulders...low enough to reveal the "Yume" tattoo on her left upper arm.

She stopped walking when she arrived at a small shrine. She prayed before continuing on. The girl carried a large paper and bamboo umbrella. It had the same print as her kimono and on the handle was a talisman. It appeared to be the Uchiha Clan's crest. She arrived at her destination...a small city. She walked by the Gates and entered the city. People stared in awe as she quietly strode by...her tiny bells can be barely heard. She kept her head held high, not making eye contact with anyone. The girl walked up to the largest building in the whole city and saw someone sitting outside alone. She walked up to them and smiled...even though her face was shadowed by the umbrella. She spoke, her voice barely heard.

"Hello, my name is Arian Uchiha...it's nice to meet you."

starter two:


Arian sat in the bedroom of the main house in the small estate. She sat by the large window that over looked the sakura garden. Arian wore a traditional black kimono with a Ying-Yang symbol on the back and silver cherry blossoms on the sleeves and the bottom of the robes. Her hair; long and curly, was down and reaching her lower back. There was a elegant black chocker on her neck and had a small blue and lack butterfly pendant on it. Her eyes; the same color of her hair, were staring out at the flowers. She wore no shoes or socks but there was a lace anklet on her right ankle. There were black and white laced hand coverings on her hands and her nails were painted black.

Arian turned from the window and walked across the room to a full-length mirror. She looked at herself...the kimono falling off her shoulders, the was her hair curled around, how her eyes always appeared out of focus, her lips ready to smile, or to give a soft kiss, to utter a giggle. Arian remembered her voice; soft, pure, barely there. There were footsteps outside her room door, but she didn't move...or even flinch as they grew closer. The door slid open and she continued to stare in the mirror.
