(I suppose I should have asked first, but would you mind if I posted in the first person? I think that it gives a stronger impression of my character's personality).

Name: Jin Hirano

Age: 14

Village: Mist (Kirigakure)

Rank: Chunin

Looks:
Jin is a girl of, if nothing else, noticeable features. A sheen of icy-blonde hair frames her face as around a picture, layers of bangs falling lazily over and about her stormy gray eyes in a portrait of exotic beauty. Her shoulder-length tresses are broken here and there by random streaks of ebony, soothing the contrast between the paleness of her hair and the unusual tan of her skin. Her appearance generally stirs quite a bit of mystery in her viewers, perhaps due to her unordinary physique, or perhaps due to the manner in which she carries herself—the hidden understanding in her eyes, the lift of her face to the sun, to the future.

She wears clothes suitable for both shinobi and teenage girl. A short, blue-gray crop jacket hugs her upper torso about an average white athletic tank top, her arms exposed from mid bicep down, and adorned only on her right wrist by a loose onyx band. (She's left-handed). Below, she wears simple navy blue pants that fall loosely to a couple inches below her knee, underneath which are blue-gray leggings tied with thin string at mid-calf. Jin chooses not to wear traditional ninja shoes, but instead dons slim-fitting and flexible navy slips.

Personality: (In the words of Jin)
Life gets more expectant of my every day, and things are changing rapidly. I fear that I am not the only one who has noticed by sudden separation from the crowd, my sullenness, my hidden curiosity. I do not wish to stay in Kiri much longer.

Upon passing, I hear things from the villagers; apparently, I am now a favorite topic of gossip. They never see me listening, for I have grown suspiciously well equipped with the art of concealment and silence. They begin with tales of my younger years; I was a happy child in my innocence, and a joy to have around. I had many friends, and rarely was I seen without a smile. But then the conversation would turn into darker places. They say that I have grown mysterious and private. I do not share my true thoughts with anyone, it seems, and they all think me a cynic.

This is not the truth. What I am is not cynical; I am simply thoughtful. With adolescence comes great new knowledge, and this knowledge I have gained is not one to brush from my shoulder. It is true that I have grown distant, but I am not heartless. They named me "tenderness" for a reason, and I am not as cold as my appearance leads.

People need to know that I am still the same Jin: tenderhearted, slow to anger, and the best listener in the entire village. I am me. They needn't be so skeptical.

Background: (In the words of Jin)
I am not a part of a whole.

I live with my father, Matsu, in the Hidden Mist Village. It is just he and I; together; a family of two. Never had I given so much thought to the rest of us, the Hirano as a clan. But never had I been unhappy enough to do so.

I have accidentally learned that I am not alone in daughterhood. My mother exists elsewhere, and she carries with her a child of twelve years. It's a girl. My sister.

Why my parents started their new lives with such turmoil, I will never know, though I suspect that it has much to do with my father.... Either way, my family is split, and I am the torn piece.

Perhaps it was this knowledge that allowed my passing of the Chunin exams this season. I remember the easy failure of my thirteenth year. This drive... I have never felt so determined.

My teammates have faded away in my mind, of which I am most upset, but cannot do anything about. Raikage has noticed, I believe, for he rarely sends me on missions with them, anymore, choosing instead to embark me on quests with jonin to faraway villages, away from this place. The Raikage is a wise man.

Secretly, I am keeping a close watch for my family's other half, my mother and my sister. They're out there, somewhere, and I must find them, else this hole will never be filled. And my father… I fear that he is more of a mystery than I thought.

And what about love, I ask myself....

Perhaps.

it does state in the rule that you require to post your bio in the third person so i'd much prefer you to do it that way.

Also, your background doesn't exactly tell us much about your past other than that you have a 12 year old sister who stays with your estranged mother.
Most of the details mentioned in your background are more suited to personality such as your characters determination

No problem at all. =)
This was a profile from a past RP I was a member on, so... oh, well. I'll admit that I did read the rules; guess I got a little rebelious.
