Clan History: The Yanagi clan has only been around for a very short period of time, originally founded by Cho Yanagi. Since it’s dawning the clan has been known for their earth affiliation, something every member of the clan is born with. It is said that this is what caused every member to be born with what looks to be an upside down mountain on their left cheek right below their eye; though others claim it’s a plateau of sorts that’s been ripped up from the ground which is something the founder was said to be famous for doing in his anger. They’re known for their teachings of taijutsu to the young, along with their sometimes intense and dangerous training exercises.
The Yanagi clan is a very private one, tending to keep to their own people and their own teachings. Because of this, inbreeding can sometimes occur, causing deformities; the most common being blindness. It is said that one in every two Yanagi are either born blind or become blind at some point in their lifetime, and because of this the clan has molded and created their own jutsu to compensate, along with rigorous sensory training so that when one sense goes another can pick up where the failed one left off.
Another consequence of this lack of socializing is little is known about them other than what seems to show up within the children they turn out to the Academy. It also means that their name is not well known, something that causes infighting a lot of the time as the clan seems to be divided down the middle between wanting to maintain secrecy or not.
Some of this infighting has caused small civil wars to break out, one in which, the most recent, caused the slaughter of the current clan head. After realizing the great tragedy that this caused, and after days worth of council meetings it was decided that the war was to stop at once, the murderer was to be punished via death, and the clan heads next of kin was to become leader until an appropriate replacement was found or that leader proved to be good enough to continue to hold the position. And so it was decided that Marquetta Yanagi was to become the next Yanagi Leader.
Kekkei Genkai Description: Given that most of the Yanagi members are either born blind or become so shortly thereafter each and every member is born with the ability to ‘feel’ the movement of others through their feet. The range of this ability can be anywhere from as short as 25 feet to trained as wide as 400 feet. It’s simply feeling the tremors and or tiny vibrations that are caused when someone is travelling across the ground..
D Rank Ninja- 15 Meters Sensory Range
C Rank Ninja- 25 Meters Sensory Range
B Rank Ninja- 40 Meters Sensory range
A Rank Ninja- 100 Meters Sensory Range
S Rank Ninja- 150 Meters Sensory Range
SS Rank Ninja-300 Meters Sensory Range
Drawbacks: The user must be barefoot. The bottom of the feet are the most sensitive area, indicated by small black swirls present on every member's feet. Another issue is the fact that it can be duped if the person they’re sensing were to leave the ground (i.e going up into a tree or flying).
Since the members of this clan utilize Doton Chakra so often they are only able to learn a third element at Jonin and never a fourth.
Members of this clan are unable to take Genjutsu as a spec. Due to the Clans specialization with Taijutsu.
Members of this Clan must take "'Blind'' Drawback without balancing it with a positive trait.
Members: Yanagi, Marquetta

Description: It’s the process of becoming one with the earth. By kneeling down and placing both hands, fingers spread, upon the ground you can mold yourself to become one with the earth, disappearing entirely within it.
At higher levels, B and above, you can even begin to move yourself while still remaining beneath the ground (up to 50 meters without having to resurface).
The length of time you’re capable of being underground depends on the rank, the lower the rank the less time you have within the ground before difficulties (i.e breathing, too much weight on the body) begin to take effect, and no matter what rank you’ve trained to you cannot remain underground indefinitely (6 posts is the maximum time before having to resurface).
