Hanae Senju
In the Chunin Exams arc, Hanae seemingly becomes able to use Wood Release in a small capacity, pulling interest towards her from many high-ranking shinobi. BackgroundHanae was born on April 20th to Tsunade and an unknown father, likely the result of a regrettable fling. She was named in reference to the abundance of flowers that bloomed in the spring of her birth, something that Hanae now suspects to be the work of a younger Ichika Sakuranbo. Hanae was spoiled thoroughly by both her mother and Shizune, due in part to Tsunade wanting her daughter to always stay by her side and never stray into the shinobi world. She grew up having everything she wanted, and loved her mother more than anyone else in the world. Supposedly she caught sight of Jiraiya at a young age, though Tsunade turned him away with contempt; upon hearing that he was a shinobi via eavesdropping, Hanae became interested in the idea and had Shizune secretly tell her as much as she thought Tsunade would allow about the Leaf village, unwittingly forming the basis for Hanae's eventual disappearance. Tsunade allowed Hanae to learn the odd technique she deemed "safe" alongside Shizune, resulting in Hanae having impeccable sensory skills from a young age, as she couldn't end up hurting herself. She apparently was also taught how to summon a small part of Katsuyu, as Hanae was incredibly accident prone and managed to knock a few spinal discs out of place after falling from a tree; after the incident, Tsunade entrusted a Summoning scroll to Hanae on the basis that she only ever call Katsuyu if Tsunade was too far away to help her, or if the injury was ever that severe again. Hanae had actually tried to run away to the Leaf a few times before eventually succeeding in the beginning of Naruto, though every time she turned back around when she thought about how upset her mother would be. She explains to Naruto later on that she had been irritated that she wasn't allowed to enter a gambling house with Tsunade and on that attempt, she by some miracle ended up meeting Chokita and entering the Leaf. She can't decide if she regrets this decision, as while it did upset her mother greatly, it did also allow her to achieve a dream. PersonalityWhen Hanae first appears in the Leaf, she is noted to be insufferably overconfident and haughty, having a spoilt streak far beyond any other child in the Academy. She is particularly nasty to boys she considers to be "losers", initially being incredibly mean to Naruto in order to gain status in the Academy, completely ignoring how kind he had been to help her out. She is, however, consistently kind to female characters even from her first appearance, complimenting Sakura and happily agreeing to move away from Sasuke if that would make her happy. Due seeing herself as above everyone else, Hanae initially refuses to be respectful or use honorifics for her elders and betters, but she very slowly learns to understand respect as time goes on. She loves using nicknames for everyone, regardless of what she thinks of them; she continues to use the name "Nart" for Naruto throughout the story, with Naruto himself eventually feeling so comfortable with it that he's more weirded out when she uses his actual name. Hanae possesses a lot of traits from her mother, including an inherent distrust of anyone who seems too good to be true; something that comes in handy often with people like Miyuchi Yuki constantly being out for her blood. Hanae is incredibly intelligent socially, being able to understand how to push anyone's buttons within mere minutes of knowing them; she's also good at understanding concepts and intricate tasks, describing her interpretation of the Will of Fire with little prompting as well as working out the true point of the Bell Test by using past experience. Her intelligence in terms of academia, however, suffers incredibly as a result of her only attending an official school for the few days she was enrolled in the Academy; she's incredibly insecure about this fact and is mentioned to have thrown Go pieces at Shikamaru when she failed to understand the rules of the game. She serves as Naruto's more sarcastic, self-assured other half, though both of them get incredibly uncomfortable if jokes are made about them being romantically involved; Hanae quietly accepts Naruto as a brother rather quickly, and thus the idea of dating him feels incestual. Even beyond that, Hanae is explicitly shown to be uninterested in men romantically whatsoever, developing a crush on Sakura and saying to Jiraiya when asked about a partner that she'd more interested in "girly things". Many male characters who are equally interested in Sakura see Hanae as just as much of a threat as other male suitors, resulting in her having a charmingly boyish reputation amongst the male genin her age; she also seems to prefer being with male characters in her off time, lamenting when Naruto is away from the village and expressing that hanging out with girls makes her "feel super awkward". Her confident, smug front also drops when she's around women she finds attractive; she goes red much like Hinata and develops a stutter. This is particularly notable in scenes where she is near Ino. AppearanceAccording to almost every adult she meets, Hanae is the spitting image of her mother, resulting in her nickname of Small Tsunade. She shares her mother's eye shape (though it appears she wears eyeliner, giving the illusion of a thicker top lash) as well as her jagged bottom lash, though her eyebrows are thicker. Hanae is above average height for her age in Part I, but she becomes exceptionally tall in Part II, being considerably taller than Naruto. Her hair hangs in braids, though they are more often than not disgustingly messy and barely held together with her beaded bobbles; her bangs are just as messy, with two flyaways on either side of her head resembling devil horns and a large ahoge in the dead centre of her scalp. In Part I, she wears a mint-green hoodie styled jacket (similar to Tsunade's) with a white turtleneck-style collared shirt underneath. She wears darker green trousers that taper at the ankles and black sandals, as well as a shiruken holster on her left leg. Her forehead protector's positioning changes depending on her mood, and she often has plasters on hurt parts of her body, regardless of how small the injury was.
