History
Every child in the Nagao clan starts their ninja training at age 4. Kasumi being no different than the other children started her training, overseeing her training was her mentor/grandmother.
Kasumi went through intense training, it was not uncommon for members to die during their training. According to the Nagao stanards this just meant they were incompetent.
Each mentor taught their students slightly differently. While the core training was the same, each mentor had a distinct style that set the students apart from each other.
Chizue was no different, she was a rigorous teacher demanding nothing less than perfection and always striving for Kasumi to push past her limits and be better. However, instead of cutting out all of Kasumi’s emotions, Chizue left minute traces of anger. Just enough for Kasumi to be able to feel irritated.
Emotions were looked down upon by the clan members. Feelings cause unnecessary noise, which leads to mistakes, hesitation, and failure. There is no need to keep them around it is better for everyone to cut it out. Contrary to this Chizue, with what little sense of emotions she developed had a different view. Emotions are what drives humans to push past their limits and become better, reaching new heights of strength never thought imaginable.
At the age of 10 Kasumi was assigned to a captain, allowing her to go on group missions. It was during her pre-teen years Kasumi would often start going against her captain's orders. While the missions would still be completed, going against orders did not go unpunished. Often being on probation, monitored closely, not being allowed to take missions. Even when Kasumi became of age to go on solo missions the village elder did not allow it. A direct result of her rebellion.
When Kasumi was 15, a new client was escorted into Nagao village. A Blacklist Hunter that went by the name Takeshi. There were reports of a criminal was wandering around the area. Through a recommendation Takeshi came to enlist the aid of the Nagao clan.Many members and mentors would volunteer their students.Takeshi only needed the aid of one person. To settle things, Takeshi proposed a small demonstration of skills to help him pick a member. Kasumi went against the rules and participated anyways. Takeshi impressed by Kasumi’s abilities decided to pick her for the mission. Much to the elders protest that one of the men would be better suited.
Takeshi disagreed and the two of them went off on their mission. This would mark Kasumi’s first mission without being monitored. To her surprise Takeshi let Kasumi lead. Trusting her judgement since he was not familiar with the area. During their time together Takeshi would tell Kasumi stories of his time as a Hunter. Kasumi found out that there was a completely different world outside the village, one not bound to old traditions and rules.
After her successful mission with Takeshi, Kasumi had a clear goal. Be on your best behavior, regaining trust. Improve your strength, knowledge, watch until the time would be right to leave. That day didn't come until Kasumi was 18 years old. Leaving during the night, chased by other members. Able to fight them off Kasumi made her way towards the hunters exam.
With what little money she managed to get Kasumi used it to get a simple disguise. Changing her appearance to look like a male, so the members wouldn't recognize her. Going by the alias Rin.
It was at the hunters exam Kasumi met Gon, Kurapika, Killua and Leorio. Gon approaching him (her) first got Kasumi involved with their group.

Nen
- Conjuration: 100% Transmutation: 80% Enhancement: 60% Manipulation: 60% Emission: 40% Specialization: 1%Conjuration:
- Aura needles:Kasumi can conjurer needles and use them to hit aura nodes on her opponen's body to make the aura stop flowing for a few hours.
- Acupuncture needles: Kasumi'sain method of fighting is to use her senbon needles by hitting the opponents pressure points. This can paralysis the opponent even kill them depending on what pressure points are hit.
- Tracking needles: Small needles are created that can be secretly be attached to opponents or their clothing. Can be combined with In so that they go unnoticed.
Kasumi can transmute her nen into poison, the more familiar she is with the effects the better the transfer of properties will be. Once she is within a certain range of an opponent she is able to use nen to further pierce the needles into her opponent. A condition with this ability is linked to the difficulty to hit the harder-to-reach pressure points on the opponent. The more difficult, the less time it will take for the poison to start to hinder her opponent. Opponents who have had training with poison themselves are not affected.Enhancement:Manipulation:- Healing Acupuncture:Kasumi uses smaller needles and places them on a persons pressure points and uses her aura to help increase the persons healing abilities. Kasumi is unable to heal major injuries. The most she can do is possibly stop/slow down the bleeding.
Kasumi gives the impression that she is a manipulator based on how she controls her needles always making sure the opponent sees her reaching into her ninja pouch and drawing them out.
