Appearance

Fair skin and pupil-less light brown eyes mark her features, with faint lines near her mouth hinting at her years. Her brown hair is swept into a bun held by a red ribbon, loose strands falling past each ear to frame her face. She dresses elegantly in a dark teal gown set with an aquamarine gem beneath the collar, worn above a long, pale purple skirt.

Personality

She carries herself with calm, regal poise, her speech as polished as her appearance. Yet the elegance is no barrier to combat. As one of the Allied Mothers Force, she will fight without hesitation to shield the village's children from any threat.

History

Her first real appearance comes during the great shinobi war. With Konoha's fighters deployed elsewhere, Ebisu gathers the remaining women and children, and when Sumo Wrestlers descend on the village she joins the mothers who beat them back, watching as Konohamaru finishes the attackers with a Rasengan. Later, in the Blank Period tale Sasuke Shinden, a familiar shop customer goes missing and she sends Ino and Shikamaru to trace him. When Ino lands in the hospital after halting a wave of exploding humans, her mother stops by with a flower. She had actually been referenced far earlier, back when Ino left the family flower shop with Sakura to see Sasuke, though her formal debut waited until the wartime gathering.
