Former Leader of Nadeshiko Village

She is the former leader of the Nadeshiko Village.

Background
Decades ago she encountered Jiraiya who has entered her village to do "research" for his next novel. After he escaped she pursued him and challenged him to a duel for his hand in marriage. This match was however postponed, as neither party was making headway against the other. Jiraiya promised that their students instead should one day seek each other out and fight if the two never met again. This promise fell to her daughter Shizuka and Jiraiya's last pupil Naruto Uzumaki.

Appearance
She has green eyes and brown, chin-length hair that covers her ears and frame her face. In her youth, she was a fairly tall woman of curvaceous built. She wore a form-fitting outfit with a long-sleeve on her left side and sleeveless on the right. In her old age, her hair has greyed and she wears a loose fitting kimono.

Abilities
Little is known about her abilities, but in her youth, she was undoubtedly a powerful combatant, proven from how she was able to fight against a younger Jiraiya in battle that ended in a stalemate. She was able to track Jiraiya quite some distance away from her village, something the Sannin praised her for. She also appears to be skilled in kenjutsu.
