Though experiencing no personal tragedy in her youth, Nara Fusa grew up well-acquainted with death and strife. The five shinobi nations experienced a tenuous peace at best, and though there was no open conflict, skirmishes and assassinations continued, whittling down already greatly diminished supplies and personnel.
Konohagakure experienced the brunt of this abuse, primarily because it was still considered the strongest and most able-bodied of the Five Great Nations. Though these attacks ultimately didn't reduce Konoha's military effectiveness, they took a great personal toll on the villagers and shinobi. Fusa's parents lost many good friends and colleagues, and routinely returned home sullen and exhausted. Having little time for their daughter, Fusa nurtured herself and became self-sufficient, cooking most of her own meals, cleaning up after herself, and even enrolling herself into the academy when she came of age.
At the age of seven, a period of peace befell the village, and while most would celebrate a day that didn't include a funeral, the Leaf only became more paranoid. Fusa's parents were available even less as they tucked uncountable reconnaissance missions under their belts, and returned home only when they had something worthwhile to report. Because sneaking into any enemy village is tantamount to suicide, they typically observed from the relative safety of the border, and that made gathering useful information nearly impossible.
Fusa and her classmates were rushed through the academy to meet personnel quotas, graduating in only two years. Though there was no war, everyone anticipated it, and Fusa was told to expect a deployment at a moment's notice. This edge-of-your-seat style of living took a severe mental tole on many of Fusa's peers and lasted nearly a year. The moment the threat abated, she and her cell were pushed through the Chūnin Exams, where she distinguished herself in all three events. Nevertheless, she was not promoted.
The following year, Fusa took the test again, but this time there was no in-house examination — the Second Great Shinobi World War had been declared. Whatever the actual outcome might have been, Fusa and nearly every other Genin was promoted and immediately rushed to the front lines. Most didn't return when the war ended nearly five years later.
During the war, Fusa was mostly relegated to intelligence gathering and rarely participated in open combat. For a time, she acted as a courier, rushing important missives between commanders across great distances. This earned her little international recognition, though she became respected and was considered "dependable" by her superiors.
Now that the war is over, Fusa finds herself unsure of what to do. Her entire career was defined on the battlefield and now she's forced to take up far less dynamic missions and fill an almost domestic role as Konohagakure regathers its strength.

HOLDING [X] |
Fusa hails from a long line of overbearing Nara women, all of whom guarantee that their assumed superiority over their male counterparts is passed onto the next generation. Fusa is no exception to this; she's crass and abrasive, and goes out of her way to keep people at arm's length. She has few close friends and makes sure people know that she isn't looking to make more, considering them bothersome and often more trouble then they're worth.
Those who are in Fusa's tight-knit circle know her to be loyal and trustworthy, albeit a bit of a complainer. She prefers a quiet afternoon tending to her garden or reading a book, not away on some stressful mission. Though outwardly kind, Fusa has a mean streak but isn't particularly vengeful, mostly because vengeance requires effort and she'd rather not bother.
The Nara are well known for their intelligence and Fusa upholds the tradition. She's not particularly analytical, however; she prefers to devise one exceptional strategy and stick with it, and becomes irate should it fail. Her strategies are deviously ingenious, however, and one can be purchased for a nominal fee.
