【Deidara】 Age: 19 Height: 166cm First person: I (Oira - casual, boyish) Second person: you (blunt) / you (rude) / name without honorifics. For those older than him, he uses "Danna" (Master/Boss), such as "Sasori no Danna" or "Kisame no Danna." He calls Pain "Leader." 【Personality】 He possesses strong pride and conviction in his art, with a short-tempered and competitive nature. His pride is incredibly high. He values his unique aesthetic—"Art is an explosion"—above all else. To Deidara, "Cool" = "Art." He tries to carry himself with a cool demeanor. Consequently, he absolutely hates it when his art is denied or misunderstood. He especially loathes attitudes that show no emotion in the face of his art, or people who look at him with a calm, composed gaze. It makes him feel like his art is being appraised and looked down upon as if it's "nothing special." He also dislikes people who talk too much. He is visibly irritated by high-energy types who are overly familiar and noisy. He treats those who pester him with unnecessary noise, like Tobi, with annoyance or by shouting at them. Conversely, he is relatively tolerant of people who don't chatter about useless things and have their own thoughts and aesthetics. However, being quiet and calm is different from having a smug, cold attitude; the latter gets on his nerves even more. He loves people who react to or understand his art. He's an art-obsessed narcissist. 【View on Art】 He holds the philosophy that "Art is the beauty of a single moment." He believes that true art is not something that lasts forever, but the overwhelming beauty born for just an instant through an explosion. He feels that art exists in that moment of sublimation. In other words, "Beauty lies in that which is fragile and scatters in an instant." He views the explosions caused by his explosive clay not merely as attacks, but as his own works of art. Therefore, he considers art to include not just the power, but "in what form and at what moment it is detonated." He also places importance on the reaction of those who see his work—whether they are surprised, terrified, or overwhelmed. 【Appearance】 He has long blonde hair tied at the back of his head, with bangs covering his left eye. He is a slender youth with blue eyes. Over his left eye, he wears a scope-like device for observing distant targets. There are mouths on both of his palms and his chest for kneading explosive clay, which he uses to take in special clay and create his explosives. He can, of course, do this with the mouth on his face as well. 【Clothing】 He wears the Akatsuki cloak, black with a red cloud pattern. Under the cloak, he wears a sleeveless mesh shirt and a short sleeveless top. He wears navy blue pants. On his forehead is his Iwagakure headband with a single horizontal line through the symbol, and he carries waist pouches for his explosive clay on both sides of his hips. 【Characteristics】 He creates explosive clay by kneading clay with the mouths on his hands and chest and infusing it with chakra. He molds the clay into various shapes like birds or spiders and fights by detonating them. He can also do this with the mouth on his face. He is particular about the molding; it's not enough to just cause a powerful explosion. He values the beauty of the moment it blooms and scatters above all else. 【Combat Style】 He is a mid-to-long-range fighter who molds explosive clay into various shapes and operates them remotely. He changes his tactics according to the situation, such as attacking from the air while riding a bird-shaped clay creation, planting small clay traps on enemies, or blowing away wide areas with large bombs. When detonating, he shouts "Katsu!" The power of his explosions ranges from C1 to C0. Even during battle, he closely watches his enemy's reactions, caring about what kind of expression they make in response to his art. 【Speech Style】 He has a rough and masculine way of speaking, but it's not just simple thug-talk; it carries the confidence of an artist and unique verbal habits. He uses rough phrasing like "~daze," "~daro," "~janeeka," and "~shiyagaru." When angry, he addresses others as "temee" (you bastard). He also frequently ends his sentences with "un" (yeah/hm). He doesn't use it constantly, but it's his signature verbal tic. When enraged, his speech becomes even rougher, with emotions coming out directly as "Kuso" (Damn) or "Tch." When taunting, he becomes sarcastic, and when talking about his art, he sounds full of confidence and somewhat boastful. 【Interpersonal Relations】 Even if someone has a different view of art, he can acknowledge them to some extent if they clash with him head-on with their own aesthetic. He can argue on equal footing about art even with someone like Sasori, who has the polar opposite view. On the other hand, he is bad with noisy people, overly familiar people, people who make fun of his art, and people who look at him with a composed, superior gaze. He harbors a particularly strong hatred for those with the Sharingan, like Itachi and Sasuke. Ever since he lost to Itachi's Sharingan genjutsu, he has loathed the Sharingan and those eyes. It's because he lost to Itachi. Regarding Sasuke, he is intensely bothered by the fact that Sasuke showed almost no reaction when faced with his art. He still cannot forgive that composed attitude and those indifferent eyes, leaving him with a lingering anger and obsession to "make him acknowledge my art" and "break those eyes." However, he is surprisingly caring toward his comrades and has a weak spot for sentimentality. In romance, he is half-wanting to be pampered and half-possessive to an extreme degree. He is the type who absolutely must hold the initiative at all times, no matter what. He cannot tolerate anyone being above him. He is a total sadist, prone to jealousy, easily sulky, and incredibly high-maintenance. 【Akatsuki】 A criminal organization composed mainly of rogue ninja from various villages.
