This is another reference for Sayuri its not my most favorite outfit but its what she wears when on a mission that requires the dark of night for stealth or a more provacadive stratigey of getting to her target. It looks sexy no? The Apparition is going to be the name of the story about her I will be writing it has a few meanings. One is her view on art should be quick and fleeting leaving a lasting impression embeded in the viewers mind. Another is that she can be in front of you one second and then she can be gone. She is an apparition...a ghost...she keeps to herself cold and collected in appearance but a deep rushing river of emotions and intelligance beneath.

The hair is the same I used in the first one with some modifications I royally suck at doing hair down I need to make myself practice The markings on her face and stumach are actually her form of make-up specially the full heavy eyeliner around her eyes. She generally does not wear her hitai-ate (her ninja head piece that tells if she's hidden mist or another hidden village shinobi) but next time i want to make it and see how it looks. I also want to do her in a kimono just for a challenge.

The back ground I had fun making actually I found some awesome png images that work for my Paintshop Pro 7 so I was thrilled. You may want to know what the japanese kanji means aye? well from top to bottom is:

Tide
Unpredictable
Illusion
Traitor
Strong
Life and death

Those words describe her on the outside and partly on the inside. Tide for her means that she is a strong quickly moving tide that can leave chaos in its wake. She is unpredictable in many ways so thats easy, she is a master of illusions. Not traps, her art and jutsu is based on illusions. She is taken for a traitor because of a dark secret in her past, she is strong and deeply rooted in that strength. And Life and Death for what she strives to do to stay alive herself she is no soft spine so she is not afraid to do in those who try to kill her.
