Basically Mao wears what her master gives her. Usually she has only one outfit, for none of her previous masters hasn't given her more; free bodyguard/ servant should stay free. To the girl, ti doesn't really matter what she wears, anything from bikini to robe goes.
Currently Mao's outfit is pretty simple: a corset, miniskirt and long scarf.
The corset is black, and it's tightened from the front. The cloth is, most likely on purpose, too small to the girl's breasts; It can't be tightened properly, so the cloth offers a good glimpse of the femme's bust. The small corset would leave most of her stomach bare, starting from her lowest ribs, but most of it is hidden with the scarf and a big belt.
The wide scarf is worn like a loose vest, it hides her shoulders and lower back, climbs down to her sides. It's ends, wider than the rest of the scarf, form a sort of a small skirt when stuffed under the belt. The other end falls down to knee-lenght, and sways lightly behind her at each step. The black scarf is framaed with violet, which preads to second main color of her outfit on the single coloured ends, 'skirt part.'
The miniskirt repeats color of the corset and black of her scarf. It reaches midway to her thights, and on it's right is about three inches long split. Like the scarf, the skirt seems to be made of silk.
A pair of short legged boots protect her feet, but whn it's possible, she prefers to be barefoot.
The girl doesn't wear jewelry often, but her hands, mostly forearms and wrists, and neck are decorated with many thin, black strings. On her forehead is embed a big, round shaped ruby; it matches with her violet eyes, shines like a third eye.
Physical Appearance
Under her forehead jewel shines a pair of felinic, violet eyes. Their pitch black pupils are narrow, though they widen greatly in darkness, and overall they're slightly oval shaped. Features of her face are somewhat sharp, but it doesn't lessen her beauty, more likely brings her exotic look.
Before people notice her special eyes, thier attention is usually drawn to the girl's hair. Strangely, it's colour is dark violet, a bit lighter than her eyes; the same shade that can be seen in violet flowers. Usually worn free, the longest locks of her hair reach to her knees. No special hairdo, her hair is casual, and she has sort of a wild fore hair; few longer bangs which fall over her eyes.
Since the girl prefers to use her clan's Four Legs Technique, her ears are usually narrow, sharp headed, and point almoust directly from each side of her head; something like evil spirits, elves and demons have in fairytales. Because of the same Technique, her fingers end to sharp felinic nails.
Her body is lean and agile, suitingly wiry. Her muscles don't show much, she's actually physically pretty weak, but has increcible stamina. She moves with felinic grace, quietly and carefully with confident steps, and loves to sneak around with her long, beautifull legs.
The girl is pale; although she enjoys about warm sunlight, the night is kingdom of felines.
Personality:
When serving her master, Mao follows the teachings her mother taught her. She act calm, doesn't reveal emotions, listens any orders without questions. She prefers to stay quiet, talks usually only when something's asked from her or she has something to say about her duties, and avoids groups. At least she's supposed to.
For some reason, she's not always as cold as she's supposed to be; sometimes she may get embarrassed, sad, confused or angry. She's honestly sorry for the people she kills or feeds to her companion, and feels often guilty afterwards; she's too soft in Nekozuka standards. Also, the girl has a bad habit to open her mouth at wrong times and places.
Outside duty, the girl's mood might change surprisingly fast. However, overall she's self-confident and careless, even lazy. Mao enjoys playing games and doing her little tests with people, just to spend her time or estimate them; by results of thease tests she forms the final picture of the person.
She loves to walk with Sheba, especially at night time, and spies strangers for fun. She shares everything with her animal companionm also the big cat's hobbies; laying in the sunlight, staring at the moon for hours, even hunts with her sometimes.
From Sheba the girl has learnt felinic traits. Like cats, when she's angry, she hisses and might flash her fangs to the opponent. When she's happy with something, she purrs, and before going to sleep, although she doesn't need much rest, she curls up often. If she's on her Shikyaku no Jutsu form, and most likely she is, her sharp headed, long ears might move according to her current emotion.
Like the other members of her clan, Mao despises canines and the Inuzuka clan, but less than normal members of her clan; She doesn't kill every dog that barks to her, nor attacks members of the canine users' clan without a good reason, unless she's really frustrated. However, she tries to avoid them, and if met, doesn't hide her disgust unless it's necassary.

Clan/Bloodline: Nekuzuka Clan
Clan History: The feline users’ clan was born in Kusa no Sato, from the Inuzuka clan. An old story tells that it’s progenitors were members of Inuzuka, happy, respected couple of Konoha shinobi with finest and strongest canines.They served the clan with all their heart and brought fame to their little family, they even had a small child. Everything was perfect ‘till the baby was killed.
All proofs showed that the child was killed by canine, and the wounds matched with the woman’s sister’s dog, which was also twin of the woman’s rusted companion. A war of words and insuilts enflamed between the couple, the woman’s husband was on his wife’s side of course, and the sister and her husband, ‘till the woman caught her pet; the dog was eating her nephew. In her anger and disappoint, the woman killed her companion, and once her sister found the body, the couple was thrown out of the village. They cursed the Inuzuka clan and canines and travelled to Kusa no Kuni, where they were welcomed.
From the forests of Kusa, the woman found an interesting new companion; a leopard, big and strong, agile, gracefull and deadly. Since felines are considered enemies of canines, the woman tamed the beast and changed few Inuzuka techniques to new purpose. After years of training, the releationship changed stronger; when the human used arts of Ninjutsu and Genjutsu, skills that they learnt from their journeys to different lands, the feline finished the opponents with brutal strenght.
Since that, this has been traditon of the clan. The human half concentrates to Ninjutsu and Genjutsu, and their animal partner handles the rest, making a perfect fighting couple. For the hatred against Inuzuka clan has remained to thease days, the clan members prefer not to use the clan name, nor any surname; if they have to, they use specie of their animal companion. There are two kinds of members in this clan; others travel around the world, and never attach themselves to any village or people, and other join Villages and serve strong masters. However, thease people are known wavering; they serve their masters well and without questions as long as they want, but later they might kill them and continue their travel to other countries.
Clan Members: The clan members are very strict about their skills and ‘purity’ of their blood; usually the members find a short time partner from their own clan, but there has been some ‘slips.’ Parents abadon their children at young age to make them grow independent and strong-willed survivors. Because of this, most of the clan members have similarities in appearence; black, white orange or red hair, lean build, sharp fangs. The most interesting indentifying feature of the clan mebers’ are their felinic eyes; usually ornage or blue, narrow shape, narrow pupils.
‘On duty,’ those who serve masters try to remain clam, cold, emotioneless. They listen and fill the orders that are given to them, they don’t care about moral. With their animal companion, they prefer to stay quietly in the shadows.
Outside their duty, each member is special, and acts just like they want, but usually they are confident, curious, at times lazy. For each of them has spent almost their whole life with a feline, they might act like ones at times; when they’re pleased, they purr, when they’re angry, the hiss, and sometimes a Nekozuka might be found laying somewhere, enjoying sunlight.

NinJutsu:
Rank Unknown
Katon: Haisekisho “Fire Release: Ash Product Burning”
Unlike other fire-based jutsu, this jutsu allows the user to breathe out a cloud of superheated ash capable of causing third-degree burns. Because it is ash and not flame, the ash remains in the air around the target, and therefore remains potent for a longer period.
Mokuton: Moku Jōheki, "Wood Release: Wood Locking Wall"
This jutsu creates a half-dome of wood to shield the user. It can also be used to capture a target.
B-Rank
Konbi Henge "Combination Transformation"
An advanced form of Henge no Jutsu. (Transformation Technique) Konobi Henge transforms two users into one being. One user usually provides the chakra while the other performs the necessary hand seals. Naruto uses this with Gamabunta in their fight against Gaara's full Shukaku form. Kiba and Akamaru use a variation of this technique in their fight against Sakon and Ukon, transforming themselves into a giant two-headed wolf. The Sound Four used this during the Chunin Exam to disguise themselves as the Kazekage's two bodyguard attendants (two in each).
Katon: Karyū Endan, "Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Missile"
The user shoots an enormous ball of flame in the shape of a dragon from their mouth.
C-Rank
Shikyaku no Jutsu; Neko (Four Legs Technique; Cat)
Jutsu Description/Effect: “Better,” felinic version of the Shikyaky no Jutsu. It loses in the skill of incrasing scent, but beats it’s predecessor almoust in every other point. Like felines, the user will, of course, have a sharpened sense of smell, but felines trust more in use of hearing and sharp vision, and naturally, these are the skills which incrase the most.Extreamly usefull to silent hunter is the ability to see in dark. When in the original technique the user’s nails just grow and sharpen a little, in the felinic version they’re thinner, sharper, curved and retractable. Fangs gre longer and sharper; their bite can be deadly. Also, the user’s balancing incrases greatly, as well as the ability to attach ‘self to objects; instead of doing it with the boring way, hanging from a tree or wall, the user of this technique can attach her feet even to thin strings. The ability has two ‘extra,’ optional effects; sharpened, eleven ears (for some reason this was the closest that the invtiors could get to fleine ears) and tail to help with balance; of course, the user must have space to row the tail, special clothes most likely. And most importantly; once performed, the technique lasts ‘till the user releases it. It doesn’t require chakra to use it, so usually even Nekozuka’s youngest members use it constantly.
Jutsu Consumption: 15 Times a thread
Jutsu Rank: 'C'
Katon: Ryūka no Jutsu "Fire Release: Dragon Fire “
The user breathes fire along a cord or any other type of long object. While the technique is shown in the anime to be even larger and more devastating than Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, in the manga it is shown to be nothing more than a small burst of flame running along a line of wire.
Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu, "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique "
Utilizing a large amount of chakra, a large ball of flame is exhaled from the user's mouth. When an Uchiha clan member masters this technique, they are recognized as an adult.
Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu "Fire Release: Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique"
This jutsu sends multiple balls of fire at a target. It is also possible to hide shurikens within the fireballs, creating an unexpected secondary surprise attack. For the most part, this jutsu is used as a distraction.
D-Rank
Kirigakure no Jutsu, "Hiding Mist Technique"
This jutsu envelops the surrounding area in a dense mist, reducing visibility within the affected area. The density can be controlled by the user, allowing them to create a mist so thick that even they can't see through it.
Jujin Bunshin, "Beast Human Clone"
A modified version of a transformation technique, this jutsu allows a user to transform their animal companion into a perfect copy of themselves. When combined with the Jujin Bunshin (Four Legs Technique, Neko version to Mao), the user and the animal become virtually impossible to tell apart, since both act equally animalistic. Like any transformation, the jutsu can be broken by identifying and attacking the animal, thus dispelling the transformation.
E-Rank
Ishindenshin (Quiet Understanding)
Jutsu Description/Effect: Allows the user and his/her animal partner communicate with each other without words. If the user and animal know each other well enough, by simply staring in the animal’s eyes and performing three handseals (Tiger, Bird, Dragon) the user connects their minds; this means that they can change thoughts, but also, they don’t have secrets, since the animal and human sense each other’s feelings and hear all their thoughts, unless they’re hidden with hard work. Effects of the technique last ‘till the user cancells the jutsu.
Jutsu Consumption: Unlimited
Jutsu Rank: 'E'
Genjutsu:
Rank: Unknown
Shikumi no Jutsu "Death Foreseeing Technique"
This jutsu is much like the Temporary Paralysis Technique, but paralyzes the foe by showing them a vision of their own gruesome death. In addition to the paralysis, the enemy is overwhelmed with fear, and will no doubt suffer severe mental stress.
A-Rank
Kokuangyō no Jutsu, "Bringer of Darkness Technique"
This jutsu makes the target think that they are surrounded by total darkness, allowing the user to attack unseen. In the anime, the Second Hokage was the one to initiate this technique. In the manga, it was the First Hokage.
B-Rank
Magen: Jubaku Satsu, "Demonic Illusion: Tree Bind Death"
With this jutsu, the user can make themselves disappear, allowing them to approach their target unnoticed. Once completed, a tree and roots will grow at the target's feet and restrict their movements. Once the opponent believes that they are captured, the user can then appear above their opponent from the tree's trunk and kill the target. In the Kurama clan filler arc of the anime, this jutsu seems to be quite versatile, with a wide range of variations on the standard nature theme. In addition to the disappearing and tree-growing effects of the jutsu, the user can produce flowers, seedpods, vines and multiple trees.
D-Rank
Magen: Narakumi no Jutsu "Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique"
This jutsu causes the target to see a horrifying vision. First, an imaginary circle of leaves will spin around and envelop the target, falling away shortly after. After a short period, the illusion will begin. This is to make the illusion more convincing, since the user will likely have moved before the illusion sets in.
Taijutsu:
C-Rank
Gatsuga/Tsuga "Double Piercing Fang"
The user and his partner spin at a ferocious speed and deliver many powerful beastlike attacks when contact is made with the target. This attack can be done alone, but is less effective.
Summons: N/A
History:
Both Mao and Sheba were born in Kusa no Kuni, in a distant forest. Following the tradition of their clan, Mao was a result of one night story, she never met her father nor even knows anything about him. Her mother raised Mao with help of her leoaprd partner and taught ways of her clan, techniques of Konohagakuure no Sato, and their own jutsus. Sheba and Mao grew together and helped each other to learn the techniques and survive.
Sheba is only descendant of Mao's mother's leopard companion. She was born couple months later than the girl, and the proud feline mother was about to abadon the cub because of it's color mistake, but the human half of their team managed to change the leopard's mind, for her child needed a partner as early as possible.
Mao's and Sheba's mothers left after the girl's sixth birthday, once they were sure that their youth could take care of themselves and each other. They left without a word, believing that it'd be easier than long goodbyes; this was the way of felines' partners' clan. Of course, Sheba and Mao were sad and in panic for few weeks, but learnt soon to survive; Sheba hunted, Mao ate berries and fruits.
About a year later Kusagakure's shinobi found them. They were taken to the head of the Village, and since the couple showed talents towards the career of shinobi, they were sent to Kusa's Ninja Academy. For her mother had taught the most important things shinobi had to know, Academy tests were easy to Mao and her partner. She shone in all lessons and was adored from the distance, 'till one poor little girl tried to start conversation with her. Her answer, "Go away, or I'll feed you to Sheba," startled the junior student away, and when word of her thearth spred, everybody started to think her as a dangerous weirdo and started to fear the look her clan's primary technique gave her.
Mao passed the Academy in two years, and when she graduated, she didn't bother to stay as Kusagakure's Gennin for long. She left her birth country with Sheba and began her new life as a wanderer and thief. They travelled through numerous small villages; Mao stole money, food and clothes from them while Sheba picked herself a meal form the villagers' livestock. They left behind rumours of devilish thief called 'Mitsukai no Lucifer' (Lucifer's Angel) and her cruel beast.
At the age of eleven, Mao killed for the first time in her life. She met a Shinobi Hunter of Kusagakure, and won the bloody battle, which followed their short conversation, with Sheba's help. Mao was shocked when she realized that Kusagakure wanted her, dead or alive, and after carefull thinking decided to change her life as a wanderer to the second way of life of her clan.
Mao and Sheba began to serve a rich shopkeeper in Kirigakure no Sato, which offered them protection against the foreign Shinobi Hunters. Against free protection, the shopkeeper ordered his other bodyguard teach the girl few new techniques to make her stronger, better servant. However, the girl lived in this village only for half a year before she grew bored of her life as a quiet bodygaurd. When the shopkeeper wasn't willing to let her leave, she killed him and left the Village, Shinobi Hunters of two countires after her.
Next Mao served a respected Feudal Lord. She didn't really like the man himself, but he had an old servant, medic and storyteller, kind and caring grandmother person. Often after a long, rough day Mao and Sheba spent their night in the old woman's room, listening her stories and teachings. The old servant was the first person who told to to her about things like 'love,' 'friendship,' and 'mercy,' even taught her a little sex-ed. She softened the girl's simple, cold beliefs and made her even regret her earlier sins. Naturally, Mao was crushed when the old lade died two years later. When the Feudal lord insuilted the woman few days later, the girl snapped and slaughtered him, adding more crimes to her list.
The next year Mao and Sheba spent in Iwakagure, serving another rich master, and the one after it by protecting self-centered innowner in Konohagakure no Sato. She killed both. After leaving Hi no Kuni, she thought that she couldn't handle shinobi hunetrs of four Shinobi Nations, especially when Konhagakure was that big and strong. At that time, she was able to think only one way to save herself; she had to get in protection of another powerfull country.
Mao searched for hiding and working place from Sunagakure a while ago, and found both after a meeting with the Kazekage. Currently her and Sheba's strenght and abilities serve Sunagakure no Sato's leader.

NinJutsu:
Rank Unknown
Katon: Haisekisho “Fire Release: Ash Product Burning”
Unlike other fire-based jutsu, this jutsu allows the user to breathe out a cloud of superheated ash capable of causing third-degree burns. Because it is ash and not flame, the ash remains in the air around the target, and therefore remains potent for a longer period.
Mokuton: Moku Jōheki, "Wood Release: Wood Locking Wall"
This jutsu creates a half-dome of wood to shield the user. It can also be used to capture a target.
B-Rank
Konbi Henge "Combination Transformation"
An advanced form of Henge no Jutsu. (Transformation Technique) Konobi Henge transforms two users into one being. One user usually provides the chakra while the other performs the necessary hand seals. Naruto uses this with Gamabunta in their fight against Gaara's full Shukaku form. Kiba and Akamaru use a variation of this technique in their fight against Sakon and Ukon, transforming themselves into a giant two-headed wolf. The Sound Four used this during the Chunin Exam to disguise themselves as the Kazekage's two bodyguard attendants (two in each).
Katon: Karyū Endan, "Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Missile"
The user shoots an enormous ball of flame in the shape of a dragon from their mouth.
C-Rank
Shikyaku no Jutsu; Neko (Four Legs Technique; Cat)
Jutsu Description/Effect: “Better,” felinic version of the Shikyaky no Jutsu. It loses in the skill of incrasing scent, but beats it’s predecessor almoust in every other point. Like felines, the user will, of course, have a sharpened sense of smell, but felines trust more in use of hearing and sharp vision, and naturally, these are the skills which incrase the most.Extreamly usefull to silent hunter is the ability to see in dark. When in the original technique the user’s nails just grow and sharpen a little, in the felinic version they’re thinner, sharper, curved and retractable. Fangs gre longer and sharper; their bite can be deadly. Also, the user’s balancing incrases greatly, as well as the ability to attach ‘self to objects; instead of doing it with the boring way, hanging from a tree or wall, the user of this technique can attach her feet even to thin strings. The ability has two ‘extra,’ optional effects; sharpened, eleven ears (for some reason this was the closest that the invtiors could get to fleine ears) and tail to help with balance; of course, the user must have space to row the tail, special clothes most likely. And most importantly; once performed, the technique lasts ‘till the user releases it. It doesn’t require chakra to use it, so usually even Nekozuka’s youngest members use it constantly.
Jutsu Consumption: 15 Times a thread
Jutsu Rank: 'C'
Katon: Ryūka no Jutsu "Fire Release: Dragon Fire “
The user breathes fire along a cord or any other type of long object. While the technique is shown in the anime to be even larger and more devastating than Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, in the manga it is shown to be nothing more than a small burst of flame running along a line of wire.
Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu, "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique "
Utilizing a large amount of chakra, a large ball of flame is exhaled from the user's mouth. When an Uchiha clan member masters this technique, they are recognized as an adult.
Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu "Fire Release: Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique"
This jutsu sends multiple balls of fire at a target. It is also possible to hide shurikens within the fireballs, creating an unexpected secondary surprise attack. For the most part, this jutsu is used as a distraction.
D-Rank
Kirigakure no Jutsu, "Hiding Mist Technique"
This jutsu envelops the surrounding area in a dense mist, reducing visibility within the affected area. The density can be controlled by the user, allowing them to create a mist so thick that even they can't see through it.
Jujin Bunshin, "Beast Human Clone"
A modified version of a transformation technique, this jutsu allows a user to transform their animal companion into a perfect copy of themselves. When combined with the Jujin Bunshin (Four Legs Technique, Neko version to Mao), the user and the animal become virtually impossible to tell apart, since both act equally animalistic. Like any transformation, the jutsu can be broken by identifying and attacking the animal, thus dispelling the transformation.
E-Rank
Ishindenshin (Quiet Understanding)
Jutsu Description/Effect: Allows the user and his/her animal partner communicate with each other without words. If the user and animal know each other well enough, by simply staring in the animal’s eyes and performing three handseals (Tiger, Bird, Dragon) the user connects their minds; this means that they can change thoughts, but also, they don’t have secrets, since the animal and human sense each other’s feelings and hear all their thoughts, unless they’re hidden with hard work. Effects of the technique last ‘till the user cancells the jutsu.

Shikumi no Jutsu "Death Foreseeing Technique"
This jutsu is much like the Temporary Paralysis Technique, but paralyzes the foe by showing them a vision of their own gruesome death. In addition to the paralysis, the enemy is overwhelmed with fear, and will no doubt suffer severe mental stress.
A-Rank
Kokuangyō no Jutsu, "Bringer of Darkness Technique"
This jutsu makes the target think that they are surrounded by total darkness, allowing the user to attack unseen. In the anime, the Second Hokage was the one to initiate this technique. In the manga, it was the First Hokage.
B-Rank
Magen: Jubaku Satsu, "Demonic Illusion: Tree Bind Death"
With this jutsu, the user can make themselves disappear, allowing them to approach their target unnoticed. Once completed, a tree and roots will grow at the target's feet and restrict their movements. Once the opponent believes that they are captured, the user can then appear above their opponent from the tree's trunk and kill the target. In the Kurama clan filler arc of the anime, this jutsu seems to be quite versatile, with a wide range of variations on the standard nature theme. In addition to the disappearing and tree-growing effects of the jutsu, the user can produce flowers, seedpods, vines and multiple trees.
D-Rank
Magen: Narakumi no Jutsu "Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique"
This jutsu causes the target to see a horrifying vision. First, an imaginary circle of leaves will spin around and envelop the target, falling away shortly after. After a short period, the illusion will begin. This is to make the illusion more convincing, since the user will likely have moved before the illusion sets in.
Taijutsu:
C-Rank
Gatsuga/Tsuga "Double Piercing Fang"
The user and his partner spin at a ferocious speed and deliver many powerful beastlike attacks when contact is made with the target. This attack can be done alone, but is less effective.

History:
Both Mao and Sheba were born in Kusa no Kuni, in a distant forest. Following the tradition of their clan, Mao was a result of one night story, she never met her father nor even knows anything about him. Her mother raised Mao with help of her leoaprd partner and taught ways of her clan, techniques of Konohagakuure no Sato, and their own jutsus. Sheba and Mao grew together and helped each other to learn the techniques and survive.
Sheba is only descendant of Mao's mother's leopard companion. She was born couple months later than the girl, and the proud feline mother was about to abadon the cub because of it's color mistake, but the human half of their team managed to change the leopard's mind, for her child needed a partner as early as possible.
Mao's and Sheba's mothers left after the girl's sixth birthday, once they were sure that their youth could take care of themselves and each other. They left without a word, believing that it'd be easier than long goodbyes; this was the way of felines' partners' clan. Of course, Sheba and Mao were sad and in panic for few weeks, but learnt soon to survive; Sheba hunted, Mao ate berries and fruits.
About a year later Kusagakure's shinobi found them. They were taken to the head of the Village, and since the couple showed talents towards the career of shinobi, they were sent to Kusa's Ninja Academy. For her mother had taught the most important things shinobi had to know, Academy tests were easy to Mao and her partner. She shone in all lessons and was adored from the distance, 'till one poor little girl tried to start conversation with her. Her answer, "Go away, or I'll feed you to Sheba," startled the junior student away, and when word of her thearth spred, everybody started to think her as a dangerous weirdo and started to fear the look her clan's primary technique gave her.
Mao passed the Academy in two years, and when she graduated, she didn't bother to stay as Kusagakure's Gennin for long. She left her birth country with Sheba and began her new life as a wanderer and thief. They travelled through numerous small villages; Mao stole money, food and clothes from them while Sheba picked herself a meal form the villagers' livestock. They left behind rumours of devilish thief called 'Mitsukai no Lucifer' (Lucifer's Angel) and her cruel beast.
At the age of eleven, Mao killed for the first time in her life. She met a Shinobi Hunter of Kusagakure, and won the bloody battle, which followed their short conversation, with Sheba's help. Mao was shocked when she realized that Kusagakure wanted her, dead or alive, and after carefull thinking decided to change her life as a wanderer to the second way of life of her clan.
Mao and Sheba began to serve a rich shopkeeper in Kirigakure no Sato, which offered them protection against the foreign Shinobi Hunters. Against free protection, the shopkeeper ordered his other bodyguard teach the girl few new techniques to make her stronger, better servant. However, the girl lived in this village only for half a year before she grew bored of her life as a quiet bodygaurd. When the shopkeeper wasn't willing to let her leave, she killed him and left the Village, Shinobi Hunters of two countires after her.
Next Mao served a respected Feudal Lord. She didn't really like the man himself, but he had an old servant, medic and storyteller, kind and caring grandmother person. Often after a long, rough day Mao and Sheba spent their night in the old woman's room, listening her stories and teachings. The old servant was the first person who told to to her about things like 'love,' 'friendship,' and 'mercy,' even taught her a little sex-ed. She softened the girl's simple, cold beliefs and made her even regret her earlier sins. Naturally, Mao was crushed when the old lade died two years later. When the Feudal lord insuilted the woman few days later, the girl snapped and slaughtered him, adding more crimes to her list.
The next year Mao and Sheba spent in Iwakagure, serving another rich master, and the one after it by protecting self-centered innowner in Konohagakure no Sato. She killed both. After leaving Hi no Kuni, she thought that she couldn't handle shinobi hunetrs of four Shinobi Nations, especially when Konhagakure was that big and strong. At that time, she was able to think only one way to save herself; she had to get in protection of another powerfull country.
Mao searched for hiding and working place from Sunagakure a while ago, and found both after a meeting with the Kazekage. Currently her and Sheba's strenght and abilities serve Sunagakure no Sato's leader.
