+ Personality +

Konan is a solemn woman, both practical and efficient, in a quiet manner. She guards her ideals fiercely, if in a more passive manner than others. She is protective of her partner, their closeness stemming from their childhood and growing up together as orphans of war. Konan is not abrasive, preferring to listen and learn, rather than get overzealous or upset over something that could lead to an explosion of temper and a visible weakness that could in turn be exploited (though she has been known to scold a superior on behalf of her partner's good name).

Overall though, despite her willingness to talk to others, she remains a reserved woman, preferring to deal with her emotions in her own manner, rather than expressing them too publicly and having to handle any possible repercussions. This is not to say that she doesn't possess normal emotions and feelings like anyone else; simply that she keeps them beneath the surface of a very convincing mask. They are meant for herself and herself alone, not something to be spoken of freely.

However, this is not to say she is a completely shut-off person, either. But others would find it a difficult task to break through that level of cool ice she surrounds herself with. It is something that Konan is almost proud of, in her own modest way. And while she is not as active as others of the Organization, she is by no means lazy. Though Konan does enjoy quiet moments to herself to perfect her art, the kunoichi is still well-versed in fighting and self-defense, even if she rarely sees reason to use it at present. To train the mind you must train the body in tandem, and she never lets one side become unbalanced for want of spoiling the other with overindulgence.

Lastly, Konan is respectful and formal to those around her, preferring not to get too close or honor someone's name too informally. A polite use of the honorific "san" tends to keep people at just the right distance to better gauge them. If she is treated with respect, she will return it, no matter what her view of someone is. Even if they are enemies, on opposite sides, she will at least extend that cool courtesy.

+ History +

When she was a young girl, Konan, Pain (who was at the time known as Nagato), and Yahiko were left orphaned by one of Amegakure's many wars, forcing them to fend for themselves with no adults to care for them. They did well enough on their own for a time, but a war-scarred land wasn't the most hospitable of homes or haunted children. The three eventually encountered Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru (Who were young adults at that time). The trio fed the children what little food they had on hand, offering them crackers that they devoured hungrily. Jiraiya took pity on them and looked after them for about three years and taught them basic ninjutsu so that they would be able to defend themselves when he left them. The four worked well together as a sort of odd family unit and were all closely linked, though the children were closer to one another than Jiraiya was to them.

With Jiraiya gone, it was up to the three children to stand on their own feet. Their three-man cell proved effective, and over time the trio grew more powerful, renowned for their effectiveness and strength. The leader of Amegakure at the time, Hanzō, even began to fear that they would be able to overthrow him, and thereby planning a meeting to deceive them. Thinking they were meeting with Hanzō to discuss allegiance and peace, they arrived, only for Konan to be kidnapped. Hanzō ordered Nagato to kill Yahiko in exchange for Konan's life, and despite Konan's pleas for them to run, Yahiko refused. Desperately, he threw himself on the kunai that Nagato held, dying, but buying Nagato and Konan their freedom. The two escaped, and from then on, Konan followed Nagato wherever he went.

Jiraiya thought them dead, though in later chapters he made his way to Amegakure to find out the truth behind all that was happening, and anything about Akatsuki that he could. In doing this, while he was able to procure information about Nagato (Now Pain) and Konan, he was drawn into battle with the kunoichi. Pain arrived to save Konan, after she had been doused with oil from Jiraiya's attack, rendering her skills and abilities with paper useless. By then though, Jiraiya had found out the identity of the two and asked about Yahiko, wondering if he were dead and the other two the sole survivors of the trio of needy children he had raised for a few years and taught to survive on their own. Pain confirmed Yahiko's death and fought Jiraiya, ending his life.
