Personality: Tsume has a modest nature, and doesn't care much for having extravagant things or wearing fancy clothes. He respects his elders, and is polite to everyone in general, often using Japanese honorifics like "san" and "sama" to address them. He's naturally cheerful, but his conditioned expression from his ninja training often makes him seem cold to strangers at first glance.

History: Tsume was born in Ice Bay Village and raised by his mother alone, as his father had died from an avalanche before he was born. Tsume was often teased and bullied by the other children for being small and not knowing how to swim, since he should be a natural swimmer, and Tsume was afraid to defend himself. His Blaziken friend Youta ([link]) would look out for Tsume and fend off the bullies often, and as a result Tsume admired him for being so strong and brave.

Tsume made a promise to Youta that he would become strong like him by becoming a ninja, and Youta held him to his word. One day however, Youta had left the village and never returned, so Tsume decided to start his training right away and moved to Dark Forest Village to become a ninja. Considering the nature of the job, Tsume would be given the opportunity to travel all over the region to work as he searches for his friend.

Additional Info:
- His prized possession is his mask which was hand-made by Youta as a birthday gift. He polishes it every day. If someone takes it away from him he goes on a rampage
- He's a heavy sleeper
- He's rather shy when people start showing him affection
- Tsume is afraid of thunder storms because he was almost struck by lightning once, it hit a tree next to him
- When he finally learned how to swim, he vowed to practice every day so he wouldn't be made fun of anymore
-Tsume is quite ticklish and though he is a heavy sleeper he'd be awakened instantly if tickled
- He has a small scar on his forehead under his bangs from falling down a steep hill and hitting a rock. It happened when he tried to get his mask back from a wild Mankey that stole it

Relationships (in order of most loved ones to acquaintances):

Acuity: A good friend of Tsume's, as well as the guardian of Dark Forest Village. Tsume always uses "sama" when referring to him, and often finds it awkward to do casual activities with him because of Acuity's high status. Tsume hates to burden Acuity with his problems, though he finds it hard to avoid when he gets himself hurt all the time....

Though recently, after everything Tsume had been through with Acuity he had developed feelings for the guardian, but he tried to keep them to himself since he felt they were inappropriate for a person in his position. While falling gravely ill one day however, he had confessed to Acuity in his deep sleep of his feelings towards the guardian...

Zen: One of Tsume's closest friends. Tsume once saved him from a pack of wild Manectric, and Zen looked after him when he was in the pokecenter afterwards. Zen often reminds Tsume as a young version of himself, always doubting his abilities and feeling "useless". As a result, Tsume sympathizes and always tries to comfort him and encourage him to be strong.

Reito (Jin): A good friend of Tsume's. Tsume sees him as a great sparring partner as well. Jin once found Tsume when he badly injured his head on a rock and was knocked out, and Jin carried Tsume all the way to the pokecenter in Ice Bay Village. Tsume is very grateful to have him for a friend. When Jin went missing, Tsume promised that he would take care of Zen for him while he was gone.

Yuya: A fellow ninja from Dark Forest, and a good friend of Tsume's. Tsume admires him for his dedication towards the village, and his abilities as a ninja.

Raido: A friend of Tsume's. Tsume met Raido when he was being tossed around by a bunch of bullies in the forest. He reminds Tsume of how he used to get bullied when he was young, and sympathizes with Raido. One time Tsume accidentally broke Raido's roof in with a boulder and it landed on Zen, and they took Zen to the pokecenter together. Tsume fixed his roof afterwards.

Kaigara: A friend of Tsume's. She helped him to the pokecenter once when he was injured from fighting Jin, and she also gave him a pearl necklace as a present. Tsume keeps it safe under his collar.

Dia: A friend of Tsume's from Crystal Lake. She enjoys watching Tsume train and gave him a talisman to keep him safe. Tsume once got gravely injured while protecting her from a wild Ursaring, and Dia stayed with him until he got better.

Silver: A powerful ninja that Tsume looks up to. Silver helped Tsume defeat a great monster once, and they ate it afterwards while talking about ninja stuff.

Ayumi: A friend of Tsume's. He enjoys going to her restaurant for sashimi and sushi, and thinks she's quite accomplished for her age.

Teru: An acquaintance of Tsume.

Kaya: An acquaintance of Tsume.

Daichi: An acquaintance of Tsume. Tsume feels a bit nervous around Daichi, seeing as he's a Zapdos with powerful electric attacks, but he doesn't dislike him.

Jupetta: A friend of Acuity's and an acquaintance of Tsume's. Tsume feels slightly uneasy around Jupetta, since he has a tendency to ask him embarrassing or rude things.

Lucius: Tsume doesn't quite dislike Lucius, but he doesn't like how he teases others all the time.

Sen: Tsume sees Sen as a bit of a bully,always being rude and making fun of him or tormenting him, so he doesn't particularly like her.
