Appearance

Dark hair and matching dark eyes give Keiri a plain look, and she keeps her head hidden beneath a white coif. Over her black gown she ties a pale apron, the practical uniform of someone who spends her days minding a house full of orphans.

Personality

Managing a crowd of restless children wears on Keiri, and her temper shows easily, yet the irritation masks a genuine devotion to the kids in her charge. That same steel surfaces when authority oversteps, since she proves ready to confront a ranking shinobi like Danzō without flinching.

History

Alongside Kanpu, Keiri alerted Nonō Yakushi to how tightly money was running out at the orphanage, a strain that only deepened once Kabuto arrived. She grew short with the boy over his trouble reading a clock, never guessing that failing eyesight, later corrected with glasses, was the real cause. When Danzō came recruiting for Root and leaned on threats to get his way, Keiri warned that she would take his coercion straight to the Third Hokage.
