My OC: Protected Here.
Name: Melina (Mei-leena)
Age: Seventeen
Gender: Female
House: Seggrfold (disowns)
Rank: Chunin
Chakra Nature: Yang Release
Kekkei Genkai: N/A
Hiden: Nightmare Wasp Technique
(aka Hallucinogenic Wasp Technique)
Chakra Nature: Yang Release
Personality:
Safeguarding. Contesting. Preemptive. Escapist. Indignant. Collector. Refuting. Perseverant. Challenging. Driven. Addictive. Tense.
From an early age, Melina was always the type to protect a defenseless creature whenever the situation called for it. Before the age of seven, she was already bubbling flies from the springing tongue of a frog with her barriers. She would have strong feelings of indignation when things went wrong which triggered her techniques, even if it was only mother nature running its course. She maintained her indignant feelings into her adulthood but was able to emotionally mature them.
Although protective of innocents, her hardened heart rejects a sweet accommodating engagement. They are merely to be saved from an unjust fate, offering no other comforts. Her uncaring attitude stems from her tense character which has been amplified by her family's malarkey. It's the sole reason for her being driven by refutation and ultimately her choice to forego her family name.
To escape her embittering past, Melina distracts herself with the stringent operations and grueling training of her division border lining a work addiction. Her addictive nature may threaten to rear its ugly head in other detrimental ways. As a counter to this, Melina hobbies herself with the collection of butterfly wings. Her wasps mysteriously seem to know of her fascination with them, as they occasionally bring her the fallen wings of deceased butterflies. Melina preserves them in a booklet to later frame for display. It is her way of forever honoring their distinctive patterns which would otherwise perish and be forgotten.
Lastly, Melina is competitively natured and can't turn down a challenge unless it is outright stupid for her to accept. Meanwhile, her affinity for barriers has necessitated her ability to preemptively execute a strategy in order to sometimes prepare them. Fortunately for her, she has always been unintentionally covert outside of her public recognition. Particularly when she is simply walking near a person who randomly gets spooked due to her quiet entrances. In the least, she uses that introspection as a boosting self-assurance when stealth is called for. Due to her preemptive experience, Melina has become exceptionally efficient at hiding seals for traps and barrier reinforcement. Her persistent efforts, helping her advance at these 'patience demanding' tactics. Her ability to persist further backed by her decision to find her own happiness in spite of her dispirited origin.
Personal History:
Hailing from House Seggrfold as the firstborn child of the Great House's leader, Melina grew accustomed to the great responsibility of eventually carrying on the familial torch. Her controversial father, Daven, initially exalted her into becoming the future heir of the house ever since she was young and it was melded into her identity. For a time, the relationship with her parents was admittedly ideal. She received plenty of attention and careful consideration, especially from her father.
Daven raised Melina like a special stone that he would polish into a shining jewel, which brought with it the seemingly loving perks. Unbeknownst to her, his agenda for her to be heir was the sole reasoning. They spent much time in the family's library where they shared countless tales and endearing accounts. She was the center of his world, until it all would suddenly end like a dream.
It was around the birth of her newborn brother, that a seer planted a seed into her father's head regarding an age-old prophecy. It initiated a shift in her father's behavior, one that would forever be branded into her memory. Her father's attention toward her seemed to completely die. And soon, her little brother was professed to be the new heir of their family's legacy… a prophetic god sent that would end the curse on the Seggrfold name.
Melina was thrown into a shock, more so upon learning the reason as to why her father's attention faded from her. More so unhappy than even her, was her mother who would not stand for her father's choice to throw away the preparations they had made for Melina. Her mother demanded that he reconsider his life altering change of heart.
Her father, however, was unyielding and was wholly convinced that his newborn son was destined to be a king. The adjustment into accepting her husband's new standpoint based on a perceived legend, was intolerable. The wedge formed between her parents sent Melina over the edge. She could no longer remain in a hostile home after bearing it for as long as she could.
Voluntarily exiling herself near the edge of thirteen, Melina fled her homeland to enlist into the armed forces. It was there that she learned to highlight her natural talent for barriers that she would later specialize in. Upon seeing her eccentric combat style, a higher in command provided her the recommendation of placing into a more specialized unit. Melina raised up a sword and from then on, signed her life over to Konoha to rigorously serve them under any circumstance.
In the years prior to her decision to leave home, Melina did stay for a period to help raise her baby brother who eventually grew into a smug, belligerent hellion thanks to their father. It was triggering for her to see the love stolen away from her to be poured onto a child that felt he was somehow greater than even the family. She grew to a point where she could not even look her father in the eyes when they'd cross paths… not that he'd even notice or care.
To distract herself, she heavily utilized the newfound knowledge of an inherited talent that skipped a generation in her family. Her aunt Ishari revealed to her that she possessed an innate ability to harness insects, particularly with those that she would share her chakra. Explaining much.
From as early as she can remember, Melina had always been accompanied by a plethora of flying insects from vivacious butterflies to the more aggressive kind. Although, to her, all kinds remained neutral to her. Anytime she'd step outside, a flurry of them was sure to hover near her. Melina never really minded at all though, as she'd grown used to them and enjoyed their curious company. She never really understood the peculiar formations they'd display for her based upon her certain actions. It had been her novice chakra level in the beginning that prevented her from seeing its potential. Fastforward to the present, Melina uses her preference for the feisty wasps as one of her greatest assets.
Known Jutsu:
Nightmare Wasps Manipulation
Deadly Yellow Jackets with a lethal venom and hallucinogenic stings
Living Nightmare Technique
a small opening in a barrier forms to allow a swarm of nightmare wasps to be unleashed inside a construct. Fire and smoke are the only chances one has to survive their hellish fury, but even that risks the chance of suffocating on one's own fumes within the confinement. High chakra expense with wasp clones, so unable to keep up for an extensive period. Once a day usage. C+ Barrier Ninjutsu. Any range.
A Thousand Angry Wasps Technique
using her own chakra, Melina is able to clone her wasps by tenfold to form a massive swarm. She is unable to engage this technique if enough of her chakra has already been expended. The clones are perishable after an extended amount of time. B+ Ninjutsu. Long range. Smoke vulnerability.
Blockade of Stingers
A nightmare swarm forms into a living barrier or wall that surrounds or guards the user or a specified target. C+ Ninjutsu. One hand. All ranges.
Form-shifting Barriers Technique
Using her chakra, she is able to generate a variety of barriers for different uses. The spatial constructs can shift from transparent or opaque and can be expanded or reduced in size. The barriers can also be infused with chakra natures for elemental barriers or enhanced with sealing tags.
Concentrated barrier armor can be chakra infused. Her natures can be implemented into her shields.
Yang infusion - her wasps are guided into a barrier formation for extra support
Each barrier can be destroyed with enough force and are within her range at approximately 200 meters/650 feet.
Concentrated Barrier
a chakra barrier is concentrated around the smallest of dimensions and can even be fashioned into armor for surrounding allies. The armor only lasts for a limited amount of time unless maintained with chakra expense. C+ Barrier Ninjutsu. Mid-range. Space-time vulnerability.
Projected Barrier Technique
propels a chakra barrier into a desired location for blocking incoming attacks from any direction and for barrier mobilization. The projected shield can be shattered with enough damage, and can take time to regenerate. C+ Barrier Ninjutsu. Mid-range.
Safe House Technique
constructs a soundproof and sightless chamber where private conversations are kept private with metamaterial cloaking. The user must maintain their stance to keep the shield activated. This technique is unable to be mobilized while in effect. C+ Barrier Ninjutsu. Short-range.
Explosive Confinement
the walls of a chakra barrier detonate around a target. The spatial construct lights up giving a warning before exploding. In the period that the barrier lights up, the walls become intangible which allows the chance to flee if fast enough. B+ Barrier Ninjutsu. Short-range.
Closing Walls Technique
the walls of a barrier close in around a target. The closing process is fairly slow which gives enough time for a victim to break out if able. This technique is not only used for combat, but also as an effective tactic for interrogation. D+ Barrier Ninjutsu. Mid-range.
Weaving Wasp Needles
These dark, chiseled throwing needles are intertwined by chakra threads. If both needles fly around the same target, they spin a thread that can bind and restrain it. In addition, the needles can be used as a set of weaver's tools. They can mend a simple tear or craft a simple garment given the proper materials.

Accepting this bc overall this is a good CS and otherwise this is a small nitpick: I bolded a small section of her personal history; I think it might be good to make it clearer that she fought as an enlisted soldier for a longer amount of time, since she did this for about four years and could only have been in Konoha for 1. Maybe the higher-up in command who pulled her into the specialized unit was like a Senju, Sarutobi, etc.--basically any clan that is now part of Konoha that would connect her to the village.
Like I said this is a small, small nitpick, so the CS is accepted anyway lmao.
