Clan Background:
In the first Naruto movie, several of the Yukigakure ninja also had the ability to use ice release techniques. However, this was not the product of a similar kekkei genkai, as demonstrated by Kakashi's ability to replicate one of these techniques with his Sharingan. In addition, unlike Haku, who could create his own ice, the Ice Release techniques used in the movie required the users to manipulate already existing ice. The Yukigakure ninja most commonly used the Dog hand seal. This Nature is sometimes called "Snow Release (Setton; 雪遁)" by fans, due to its manipulation of snow.

In the Land of Vegetables filler arc, the main villian Renga also used a technique using ice. He could crystalize the water vapor around him into ice so transparent that it would be pratically invisible to the naked eye. However, this technique was never mentioned to be an Ice Release technique.

In the anime, Kajika's technique is actually classified as a water release, but produces ice.

.:Character Background Information:.
Karina was born into an ordinary family in a small village in Kaze no Kuni, minus a father. Yet, was missing a parent ordinary? Her father had left on a mission a few weeks before she was born, but he had failed to return. He was a Kazeraikou, and his unusually white hair and bold brown eyes were passed down to his two children. Noble, ambitious, and courageous was a few words to describe him, but most importantly, he was a family man. He lovingly tended to Karina’s mother and her older brother, Kai. He was five years old at the time of Karina’s birth, and was quite mature for his age. He took the death without tears, knowing his father wouldn’t have desired his family to crumble under the weight of such a tragedy.

Karina’s mother was a herbalist, but it was difficult challenge to raise a family and earn ryo. At a young age, Karina had to become independent, as her mother wasn’t around at home too often. However, Kai kept her company, keeping a watchful eye on her during her first few years of life. Without a father, he felt it was necessary to protect his little sister, and to be a good role model for her. His mother was thankful that sibling rivalry wasn’t prominent between the two; it was one less problem she had to concern herself with.

The two siblings spent much of their time together, playing and training. Kai showed off the techniques that their father had began to teach him before he disappeared, each of course, required a lot of practice. Karina was fascinated by the swiftness in his movements, and especially the determination that embodied her brother. He was an inspiration to her, much like their father was an inspiration to Kai. However, their father was rarely spoken of, as it was a great loss to Kai and their mother; Karina was too young at the time to understand the grief of death.

As Karina aged, her interests in training grew along with her. If she wasn’t with her brother, she was occupied by books to expand her knowledge. She started to read at a very young age, quickly appreciating the satisfaction of her curiousity that was associated with books. The desire to nurture her strength began to overwhelm her, distracting her from the more simple pleasures of being a child. Kai was bewildered by this behaviour, seeing that his little sister was beginning to surpass himself. It was obvious when they sparred for fun; Karina had developed this newfound potency. Kai was defensive of his sister, but it appeared that she could care for herself now.

About a month after Karina turned eleven, tragedy struck the Zai family again, permanently tearing it to shreds. Karina wasn’t in a deep sleep when shrill noises emitted from another room in her home. After the rude awakening, she gazed around with an alarmed expression. Clamour like that never occurred at such an hour of the night. Immediately after rushing out her room, the repulsive scene of blood and bodies welcomed her. Her mother and brother laid motionlessly on the floor, both soaked in their own blood. While her mother obviously perished, as her chest never rose or fell again, her brother grasped to life. With tears stinging her eyes, Karina hustled to Kai’s side.

“ Don’t be sad, dear Karina... ” her brother spoke, with great difficulty, “ We all have to go someday... Please stay strong... Dad would’ve been so proud of you... “. With those final words, Kai’s head, along with the rest of his body, became limp. Karina merely kneeled there for a few moments, unable to comprehend what just happened. She had so many questions to ask, which would always remain unanswered. Who would do this to her innocent family? Was it the same person who claimed her father’s life so long ago? Her head ached, her eyes stung from tears, and the stench of her own family’s blood left her stomach churring uneasily. She shifted back against a wall, leaning there quietly, hoping this was just some terrible dream.

Unfortunately, the events were all real. When Karina awoke the following day, her family’s bodies still laid there, inanimate in their private puddles of blood. She could no longer remain at this house, as the memories would always haunt it. She left with her grief, straight to the academy. Her first goal now was to train; she needed to become stronger. Even though it was too late to prevent the death of her family members, she desired the strength to defend herself. She was also determined to avenge her mother, and especially her brother. He seemed to be the only person who had faith in her, so this was the only way she thought was worthy enough to pay him back.

Once arriving at the academy, she took her studies very seriously. She threw all her social aspects away to achieve the greatest knowledge she could. She didn’t want friends; strangers were unreliable, and distracting towards her goal. Years passed with this same attitude, making her intelligent yet disliked. Grief sheltered her from being happy like she was when she was child, but the satisfaction from the education she was getting through the academy was adequate. Eventually, her prominent skill and desire for power and the improvement of her ravenous and powerful ice techniques came through for her, and she was approached by the Mizukage himself, thus being the "hook" for her promotion into the ANBU Academies. Nonetheless, her quick-witted mind and surely capable fighting skill had her advance quickly, as she became appointed as an ANBU Agent a short year after being admitted.

.:Character Appearance:.
Karina is a petite female, lacking in both weight and height. It runs in her family, but it’s something she isn’t ashamed of. She has pale and fair skin, which is unable to tan. Instead, she suffers from painful burns if too much exposure from the sun reaches her delicate skin. Fortunately, her skin has a smooth texture, and is soft to the touch.

Her face is almost smooth; heart-shaped and elegant. Her straight hair is a pale blonde, which almost matches her skin. Her hair in the front is longer than the back, and messy bangs cover up her forehead. Fine and narrow eyebrows are usually hidden by the bangs, being represented by a fine brown hue. Her eyes are of an auburn colour, but they appear more brown in darker light. She has a small nose and thin lips, completing her gentle countenance.

Her complexion is a slender one, giving her a decievingly frail appearance. Now, Karina isn’t all that confident in her strength, but she can defend herself efficiently. A black scarf is wrapped around her neck loosely, more for decoration than a provider of warmth. She wears a light dress for comfortable and easy movement, which reaches halfway down her thighs. Yellow flowers are printed on the right shoulder of the dress, and the left sleeve. Her dress lacks a long right arm sleeve, so instead she adorns her forearm with a brown fingerless glove. A ring that once belonged to her mother occupies her right pinky finger, to keep the memories of her close. Around her chest is a brown corset that tightly clutches Karina’s trim frame. A floral design on the corset is partially hidden by a yellow belt that rests unevenly on her, simply an object of decoration.

Long boots that extend beyond her knees serve as her comfortable footwear. They are light and securely fit to her feet, and also provide warmth to her otherwise bare legs. A tattoo of the kanji, ‘soul’, is hidden beneath her right boot; a permanent mark on the inside of her ankle. She dresses like this in pretty much any kind of condition. Heat nor cold bothers her much, and her choice of attire leaves her stealthy and agile. She covers up to keep her skin protected from harsh sunlight, as that would be one of her weaknesses. Karina believes that she is pretty, but that isn’t a concern of hers. After all, beauty would certainly not be enough in a battle.


.:Character Personality:.
Karina bestows a variety of characteristics that makes her the young woman she is. At first glance, she is quiet, and keeps to herself. To strangers, she only speaks when necessary, and only in straight-forward fragments. She makes an effort to keep herself isolated, perferring the calmness of being unaccompanied by a fellow person. Perhaps she is anti-social, but she has accepted that willingly. Making acquiantances is quite the challenge for her, as she evades these opportunities. Even while being confronted, she speaks and behaves in a way that clearly states her inclination towards solitude.

Beyond the detachment and loneliness, Karina is quite compassionate. She has a soft side for nature, and those few people gain her trust. She detests unnecessary feuds, trying to help resolve them without a swing of a fist. However, if combat is required, she isn’t afraid to strike. The female keeps herself at peace by indulging in literature, expanding her imagination and keeping her ghastly memories at bay. When it comes to arguments, Karina typically loses. Even if she strongly believes her point, she cannot be bothered to verbally scrap to win. She accepts these losses, although she keeps her unchanged opinion to herself.

Intelligence is one of Karina’s more evident and positive qualities. She thinks rationally, and doesn’t jump to conclusions. She plots her moves, words, and actions carefully, aiming for the best results. Driven by determination, the female is ruled by a sturdy spirit. Giving up isn’t an option to her when she seeks knowledge. Irritation overcomes her when questions are left unanswered, because being confused or uneducated makes her feel feeble.

Earning her trust is nearly an impossible endeavour. With a past composed of lies, she cannot really distinguish truth from fiction. She only has dependence in herself, as she fears putting her faith into some stranger will render consequences. She tends to be untrustworthy at times, feeling as though she can fib if others can do that to her. She does, however, cave into multiple acts of kindness and trustworthyness. If some people are keen on acquiring her trust, time eventually will erode the barrier she has confined herself behind. Hardly ever smiling makes her come across as pessimistic and serious, but Karina is generally blissful all the time. She remains laid-back in many situations, and even enjoys a good laugh on occasion. To those who achieve her trust get to experience her better and more joyful qualities. She can strike up good conversation, often about intellectual topics, but she is capable of being humourous. Karina has less difficulty being around males, as she was practically raised by her older brother. But still, people are typically a nuisance to her.

Karina does have a dark side to her, but it rarely surfaces into her persona. People who mistreat her in any way gives her ample opportunities to seek revenge. She strongly believes ‘what goes around, comes around’, so she will undoubtly return any sort of favour to someone, whether it be out of kindness or rage.
