Description

Been at work at this for five weeks! A bit rushed, but it all looks fine. I reedited Mei, and renamed her, and took a few liberties with her so that she'd end up being badass, well-balanced and somehow not Mary Sue.

Just so you know, Mei's surname comes from the words nami, kizameraru and Izanami. Nami refers to waves, as in the powerful waves of water Mei creates in defense as her jutsu and kekkei genkkai, Kizameraru means engraved, as to the 'engraved' clan traditions and Izanami, the Japanese deity, somehow related to Amaterasu.

I used karate and kung fu to develop her taijutsu, to resemble waves. Karate has a particular stance developed to represent waves, and it is called Heian Shodan. Heian Shodan represents the element of water, defensive but mildly offensive, with limited movements all in the aim to deliver a cleansing blow. Both kung fu and karate require discipline and grace, as the Kizanami require so I applied it. The kung fu styles applied are of the Dragon style and Tai Chi Chuan.

Mei is my property, and Naruto belongs to Masashi Kishimoto. Please bear in mind that I practice karate so I know my stuff, although I also specialize in advanced Muay Thai. Her bloodline ability relies much on her own self.
