Appearance

Kujaku cuts a lean figure, her fair skin set against a striking palette of blue-green cyan that colours both her hair and her thin brows. Two pale yellow streaks run through the bangs at the front. Her irises are a pupil-less light brown, and a soft red tints her lips. Over a dark red sleeveless dress cinched by a pair of brown belts she wears a grey jacket ringed at the neck with thick white fur. Her arms are covered unevenly, a grey leather glove on one and a long brown stocking on the other, with a lone black glove on her hand. A white Hidden Artisans forehead protector wraps her brow, and she finishes with high-heeled sandals. Her two shortswords ride at the left of her jacket.

Personality

Arrogance defined her. She rarely let a fight pass without hurling mockery at whoever stood against her.

Abilities

Kujaku fought with a matched pair of blades called the Weaknessless Soaring Shortswords. Through them she could steer and reshape the wind at will, loosing potent Wind Release techniques for only a trickle of chakra. She blunted and reversed Temari's assaults with startling ease, and could stir whirlwinds around herself to ride through the air. Her strength surfaced during the Sunagakure support mission, after her group abducted Gaara's student Matsuri and she ambushed the squad giving chase. Against Temari she held the advantage throughout and came close to killing her, foiled only by Shikamaru and Ino. A cyclone Temari fired appeared to miss, but it had merely stretched Shikamaru's reach, letting his Shadow Imitation Technique pin Kujaku in place mid-boast. Temari then flung her skyward with the Summoning: Quick Beheading Dance, dropping her into a river below.
