“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” - Maya Angelou

Characteristics

Appearance

Izumi is a medium-built person with fair skin and dark hair whom she dyed yellow. In her avatar she has reddish matte eyes but their color are more hazel in real-life. She's usually seen in standard white uniform, but opts to wear darker clothes when off-duty.

Personality

Izumi lives a quiet existence. She tends to be a reserved individual with a private sense of adventure. She appreciates intellect, independence and individuality. Although she tends to have a rational approach when it comes to processing information, she has a strong moral center. Although introverted, she likes to strike conversations with new people, especially when to brainstorm facts and ideas, deliver jokes and the occasional anecdotes. Izumi can both be the most starry-eyed of idealists and the bitterest of cynics. She may at times employ sarcasm and humor.

Interests

Apart from writing, Izumi likes to collect quotes and limited edition coins. In her free time she plays the piano, take up choir singing and dabble on photography. She prefers to capture places rife with history and people who are in motion. Her mind is like a sponge when it comes to gathering knowledge. Her subjects of interest could span from sciences, arts, history, psychology, literature, politics, and of course anime.

Dislikes

Izumi has a few dislikes. When it comes to people, she especially hates those who are selfish, irrational or pretty set in their ways. She dislikes being hurried or being forced to do stuff without an established objective or formulated plan. When it comes to herself, she doesn't like her flightiness and moodiness.

Goal

Her goal for now is to get to know the fanfic community and be able to create and finish the projects she had begun and will begin. She hopes to develop her skill as an author by tackling varied genres and stories of varied difficulty and length.

Background

Devil's Claw Arc

Izumi set out to make her first fic, a GaaHina fic in honor of (more like coincidentally on) Hinata's birthday. She has written six chapters plus one vignette. She will update on it soon to begin Hinata's journey to Suna. This is most likely a saga, and something she'll be sporadically working on throughout the year.

Puppet Show Arc

Spinoff to her first story Devil's Claw. It's merely supplementary to the first: just messing around with Kankuro and his gender crisis. It would be a fun story, but has to be put on standby because she's still working on the DC arc it coincides with.

The Akatsuki Daycare Squad Arc

Izumi had recently accomplished chapter three and is halfway done with chapter four. She's deciding on whether the fic would be a slice-of-life/parody or would retain its humor/drama genre. She's also considering the future trajectory of this fic which she has not fully mapped out yet.

Thou Shalt Not Covet Arc

Izumi-san is currently focused here. She had just posted Chapter Two and may have gone a bit overboard. She had earned the love, confusion, dismay, disgust and condemnation of her readers here. Nonetheless, she had never been more excited to update as soon as possible. She is currently writing her responses to the reviewers within Author's Notes of the succeeding chapter.

Flesh and Blood Arc

First M fic, has lots of warning. Dark themes, Uchiha-cest and Sasuke's dark past.
