Today I want to talk about Izuna's hair. Izuna has short, neck-length brown hair, with her right side being tied up in a pigtasil with a cute little ball having a pink string attached to it. There's also her iconic fox logo that she has as her hairpin, her sight for her gun, and also on her gun's ring? There's also a kunai and little fox tail there, making her seem somewhat simple in her priorities- her gun practically has a signature on it indicating that it's unmistakably Izuna's, and one glance at it tells you all you need to know about her. Her bangs hide her human ears very well, making it look like she's only got the two fox ears. Her vulpine side is cute, with a very full yellow tail and her ears having a yellow inside- she's very, very fluffy. However, Izuna's cutest part of her is her personality, she's very cheery and bright even though a lot of Hyakkiyako (and the rest of Kivotos) find ninjas to be simply myth and a thing of the past. However, with her optimism and how she talks about them, along with how much effort she puts in following this dream, I believe in her, and by extension, I believe in ninjas. Because ninjas are cool, and my ninja retainer student is very cute! I can't state enough how cute Kuda Izuna is!
Her swimsuit is more or less the same, though now she has an additional sunflower ribbon on the right side of her hair, sitting pretty with the scarfed cottonball. She also has a sun visor to help her see things that might be obscured, which is a very wise ninja technique! Not-getting-blinded-no-jutsu! Perhaps the most adorable part of Izuna's swimsuit is that she brought a little scarf with her to the beach- she lives in being a ninja, and has a very charming smile that makes it impossible not to root for her.
Izuna's a coin toss on how she presents herself- she's certainly very clean and takes exceptionally great care of her tail, but there's a good argument for her hair to not smell like anything (to infiltrate better!) or to smell like cherry blossoms (to feel good in a stressful mission!) Either one is possible, and I think it's both, it mainly depends on when she's caught. I can't help but once again re-iterate that Izuna is adorable and it's probably her cheery smile that's winning me over. She definitely seems like she'd be confused if I brushed her hair, since there's a nice fluffy tail right there, but I think it would be fun to surprise her with that now and again to keep her on her toes like a true ninja!
