Is excited to become a ninja but doesn’t seem to have a set identity as a ninja and feels very generic with simple techniques and methods.
Which led to her loss when it came to the final part of exams, against single opponents.
She only lasted fairly well in terms of endurance because of her 1v1 sparring with Lee and you really can’t find anyone with a stronger punch then him.
Post Exam Genin:
After her loss and sorrow over Lee’s condition, Ota vuried herself into trying to figure out her identity as a ninja. Learning more about her family’s background and jutsus in her free time. Training herself and learning new skills, resulting in her interesting lighter streak in her hair.
She is often practicing new skills while on missions to see what works well and what doesn’t. Collecting seeds and samples for her studies as well.
Due to these things she sort of talks more with both Ino and Shino while studying different plants and their uses or meanings and how to best grow them.
She visits Lee often and he likes to see her new skills while he was in the hospital.
She seemed to be rather neutral over the whole Sasuke betrayal situation.
Except for when Lee ran off right after his surgery, that pissed her off quite a bit.
Plant Nature: Is nature release found within the Ginkgoales clan. Allows members to produce plant based Jutsu. Is a combination of Earth & Water natures, similarly as Wood nature does.

*Bio
Ota has always had a love for nature, something she clearly acquired from her parents and family. As a child she was obsessed with collecting flowers from their gardens and putting them throughout the house. She truly adored plants and spent most of her free time playing around her family’s greenhouses where they raised and grew plants and herbs they sold and used at their Apothecary.
So it was a little surprising she was so willing to attend Konohagakura’s Ninja school when she came of age to apply. Needless to say it wasn’t an easy feat for her either but she persisted none the less. Even making friends with other Genin when she finally graduated with her class. A common training method her Jonin had was to have her team practice battle other Genin in preparation for the Chunin Exams. Notably this is how Ota came to know Lee and needless to say the poor girl was out of her league in terms of strength and speed. But they got along rather well and it was possible that Ota even had a small childish crush on the open hearted Genin as strange as he was. Still, she might have never won a fight but it gave her a high reference point when dealing with other opponents since she never met someone as strong or stronger than Lee.
Despite her efforts, in her first attempt at the Chunin Exams, Ota did not pass the first round of the Final stage. She did pass her second time a few years after during the Time Skip. But it was due to failing and Lee’s injury that she became so interested in learning how to progress her skill at keeping plants healthy with her family’s jutsu and buried herself in old texts from previous generations.
After all the hardships and the war, Ota settled into working with the Academy and being an active Jonin in Konohagakura. She loves teasing everyone who’s gotten married and have had kids and loves watching them grow up so quickly. Often being a leader to young Genin teams as well. These days often running errands for those who ask, sending a lot of letters out of the city and developing new plant breeds in her family’s greenhouses.
*Personal Skills/Jutsu
Plant Style: As she got older, Ota transformed her love for plants and herbs into a battle style all her own. Normally, the Plant style hasn’t been utilized too much for battle situations so Ota put her head to the books after failing her first Chunin exams in need of finding her own path as a ninja. Over the years she developed uses and techniques and later (begs) asks Yamato to find some time to show her his Wood style jutsu as it was similar to her Plant style.
Main techniques:
Seed capsules: Ota always has many different kinds of small capsules on hand. All varying in either medical or battle use. Common ones being for headaches or ones that will explode out with small plant tendrils to ensnare a target who comes in contact with one. Often will contain smells/odors/sprays that cause some temporary effects (e.g. paralysis/knock out gas/mild poison)
Plant style: Transformation: Acts just as Yamato’s Wood Style: Transformation but plants rise from the ground instead. When dispelled leaves scatter around her.
Eden’s Paradise: One of her strongest techniques. The more chakra she uses the larger the area transforms in a lush paradise. Staying within it’s border allows for healing thanks to the nature’s pollen. Also works as a defensive environment under Ota’s control. At this time she can make the space at most 30 feet open for 1 hour.
Plant Pillar: Summons a thick and twisted pillar of vines and plants. Can also extend from Ota’s legs or arms.
Vine Snares: Thin vines emerge to catch on targets and tightly hold onto them.
Floral Binds: Seeds are launched from chosen locations at a target, bloom, and sap the energy from the target.
Earth Style: She is also known to use a lot of common and more defensive Earth style jutsus. Preferring to use them to alter battle environments, containment, and defending her and her allies.
Barrier Ninjutsu: A common trend of ninjutsu style that Ota is since using to capture opponents of varying strengths.
Water Style: Water style comes with the territory with working with plants and was actually the first nature jutsu she learned to use before she was a Genin even.
Notable techniques: Water Bowl, Water Clone, Water Bullet Technique, Water Trumpet
*Trivia
Has some medical nin training from her parents
Skilled at identifying all types of plants and their uses
Her family’s name is Ginkgoales as their clan symbol is the Gingko leaf. It is known for having multiple uses such as improving memory and blood flow. Her family has dedicated their work and family to preserving the tree type since their first generation when it was going extinct.
Ota is the 6th generation and heir to her clan’s secrets & skills, one being their kekkai genkai “Plant Release”.
Her apartment always has at least 3 plants in each room, including the washroom.
It’s 11pm and I want her plant nature to backfire and cause flowers to bloom in her hair when she get’s really blushy by just looking at him. It’s embarrassing cause they just show up all “ooooh you like him don’t you~”
