Kameko
D-rank
It was late afternoon when a young woman approached the village gates. She was dressed practically in a long sleeved hunter green shirt and sturdy black pants. It was not the most fashionable attire, but then, she wasn’t out for an afternoon stroll. Kumogakure’s symbol was shown clearly on her hitai-ate, worn as a headband to keep her long black hair out of the way. Based on the dirt that she hadn’t quite been able to totally brush off of her clothes, it was easy to guess that she was newly arriving to the village. Despite this being the end of the longest journey Kameko had yet made, her blue eyes had a sparkle to them as she greeted the guards at the gate.
She was excited to finally arrive in Konohagakure. Her coat was stowed in her pack, for it was warmer than she was accustomed to at this lower elevation, and she fancied that the air itself smelled differently here. Kameko was a Genin, which caused a bit of a hold up at the entrance as the guards questioned her and looked over her travel documents. It was rather unusual for one to make a solo trip, such as she had, but it was not totally unheard of, and they soon gave her permission to enter and keep her weapons, including her katana, with her, warning her not to cause trouble.
The kunoichi soon found herself in a bustling marketplace. She was used to knowing exactly where everything was and recognizing faces in every crowd, even if only from seeing them in passing. Here, she was a complete stranger, and it was a bit overwhelming. Her first step would be to find lodging and get cleaned up from her travels, but at the moment, all she did was stand there and look around at all of the people and unfamiliar shops, soaking it in. If the pack on her back did not make her stand out as a foreigner, her lack of motion and wide-eyed look in the sea of bustling shoppers certainly would.
