I'm resubmitting Moriko's design for 's contest. You can view a LARGE version here: [link]

Here's some info on Moriko again, I had to tweak some things:

Moriko means "forest child" so naturally, she specializes in flora jutsu. Essentially she can conjure plants (most generally vines) from her fingers, toes and even hair. She's able to hide in wooded areas by melding with trees. She can also trap people by conjuring roots systems to grab the poor individual. She needs some sort of vegetation in her area to do this; so obviously she's most vulnerable near oceans, rocky areas, and deserts. Moriko can fight decently hand-to-hand since she can't always rely on her surroundings to be favorable.

In her family, all newborn children are blessed by receiving two marks on their forehead. The color of the marks depend on who was Hokage when they were born. So, essentially, you can tell how old a person is by the color of their markings.

Moriko is a bit of a strange individual, mostly in her habits and the way she does things. She strived to be completely different from everyone else when she was younger and as such she tends to do things that others wouldn't. (Sleep sideways on her bed, always sits with her legs crossed even when sitting in a chair, always eats things with a spoon, etc. etc.) Moriko's almost always yawning b/c of her strange sleeping habits (which tends to get her in trouble b/c others think she's bored with them) and she can be quite moody b/c of this. She tends to be a bit nosy; not to get into other's business per se but more to find out if she can help them in some way. She's a generally upbeat person and it takes a lot for her to get mad/stay mad at someone, or to be in a all-out bad mood. Moriko has a positive attitude and is always encouraging others.
