Name: Ceres Ceres; Ceres
Physical Description: Ceres Ceres is a female Nin-Cat. She's the size of an ordinary house cat, except that her fur is completely sugar pink as well as her eyes. After being summoned, she is usually found around Shizukesa's neck, like a boa. Instead of a collar, Ceres sports a Konoha ninja headband, and the Tenrai-ke's Clan Symbol around her neck. Ceres was born last in a litter of 16, out of over 100 litters in all born to the Cat Boss.
Summon Requirements: Because Ceres is a low ranking summon, she only requires no more than a thimble full of blood, and she's purring and ready for battle. As she grows stronger, her Summoning Requirements will increase and overall become more dangerous.
Species: Feline; Cat
Rank: C-Rank
Story: The Feline Contract is handed down from generation to generation in the Tenrai-ke Clan. Despite it being the same contract, the Summon varies between users. Though some summons are capable of being shared between the entire clan. The contract belongs to the whole clan not just the Main Branch, therefor granting all of their Genin the ability to summon their own Cat Partner. Every member must sign the contract once they enter the Academy. After signing the contract, the member no longer requires for the contract to be in their possession to summon their Cat.
Every member had already signed the contract, and now came Shizukesa's generation. Shizukesa stood by patiently as all of her cousins, and brothers and sisters signed the contract in their own blood. There were so many of them signing that Shizukesa was worried that there might not be any room for her signature. Her older twin sister Rokka was standing calmly beside her. Shizukesa looked on at her sister, examining her thuroughly wondering how she could be so calm at a moment like this. This was a big moment in their lives but it seemed like it was just another part of her regular training routine which she went through every single day of her life from the day she throw her first shuriken at the faceless, lifeless, and emotionless dummy strapped to a pole and stabbed into the ground for the kids to practice.
It seemed like an eternity before Shizukesa would get to put her name on that contract. If it were up to her, she'd had been first in line, and all the other kids could stand on the side and watch her place her mark on the contract. "If" being the key word. Her father, the Head of The Clan was calling the children up one by one, reading their names off a scroll. There was a scroll for each generation, and this generation was the Baby Booming Generation. There were so many of them, Shizukesa thought to herself. The Royal Children were always last, as a sign of respect to their lower family.
Finally the names had stopped, and Shizukesa was worried that her name was not called. Maybe he did call her name and she simply didn't hear him. Or what if her father didn't think her worthy of having a Summoning Companion. But then she looked to her left, then she turned to the right and noticed that all of her brothers and sisters were still standing beside her. Surely Rokka and the others were more worthy than she. Why hadn't they been called?? She looked at her father as he set the scroll aside and unrolled another. It was from this scroll that the names continued. The names of her siblings, descending from oldest to youngest, and her brother was first.
Just great! Now she'd definately be last to sign the contract. No way was there gonna be any room now. Shizukesa was growing increasingly annoyed at her father. He was reading their names even slower this time. He was surely doing this on purpose just to smite her. If he didn't call her name soon, Shizukesa would just run up to the front and spit out blood if she had to. Finally it seemed like the line was moving...once it finally came Rokka's turn. Just then it hit Shizukesa. She had suddenly gone weak in the knees, and discombobulated in the belly. This wasn't just a big moment in her life anymore. This was unbelieveably epic to her.
Her head was bombarded with questions to herself. What kind of partner she'd get. What would their relationship be like?? Or would she even be a good partner?? What if her partner dislikes her and tries to get partnered with someone else, like Rokka. Surely she'd make a respected partner. She was calm, smart, strong, everything a Kunoichi should be. Everything she's not. Even going up to permanently put her name on a binding contract, Rokka was completely perfect and flawless. She bit her thumb, swipped it across the contract and walked down and stepped back into line.
"Shizukesa Tenrai-ke." Her father's roaring deep voice echoed throughout the room as all heads turned, and all eyes settled on her.
Her feet froze in place, and her breathing and heart rate increased to a rapid pace. How embarrassing. How could her feet do this to her. They betray her at a time like this. Obviously some sort of treason.
"Better get moving Suzu." Rokka sneared at her little sister and pushed her out into the what seemed like the lion's den to Shizukesa.
No turning back now. Now if her feet could get the signal and actually move forward. Her father glared at her and roared her name again. It scared Shizukesa and caught her off guard but it gave her feet the signal. She started walking towards the contract. Her body shivered from the feeling that eyes were following her every move. She finally reached the contract expecting to seem a collage of blood stains and smears. When she looked down at the contract, it was completely blank and looked almost new. It was hard to believe that this contract has been passed down through more than 300 generations of Tenrai-ke clan members. Where were the signatures literally in blood red ink??
Shizukesa didn't have the time to think about these things now. Not with her father telling her to hurry and step down. The clan was growing restless and impatient. She looked back at her sister who was smirking at the show little Shizu was putting on. Shizukesa frowned at her sister and bit her bottom lip hard enough to draw blood. She rubbed her lips together as if the blood were lip gloss. She leaned over and pressed her lips to the paper and leaned back up to smile down at her signature. Shizukesa was stunned to watch her signature vanish before her eyes.
"Wh-what happened Daddy??" She whimpered, looking up at her tall father.
"Don't worry sweetheart. It's still there, it just disappeared to make room for the next generation." He smiled down at his youngest angel. He patted her hair and sent her down to stand beside her brothers and sisters.

She also sports a pink ribbon around her neck, given to her from Shizukesa as a gift when they first met. In this stage, her teeth and claws become more larger allowing her to fight for herself. She is also capable of carrying Shizukesa and two other genin on her back. Her leaping ability increases tremendously as well as her leg strength.

Jutsu List
Name: Kitty Needle Bullet Tank Technique
Rank: C-Ranked
Type: Offensive
Element: Wind
Description: After growing in size, Ceres' fur becomes rigged and spiked. She then wraps herself into a large ball, then uses her twin tails and her chakra to propel herself into a powerful and fast roll. Because Ceres is so slim, like most cats are, her ball form is more oval shaped, making it easier to turn when needed. In this form she can also use her two tails to lift her into the air.
Name: Kitty Siren Surprise Technique
Rank C-Ranked
Type: Offensive, Defensive
Element: Wind
Description: Ceres takes a deep breath, distending her stomach, and constricts her stomache with her tails to launch a high-pitched ultrasonic Cat Roar of compressed air, chakra, and sound. Which she can deploy to shatter objects and incapacitate her opponents. However, the cry has been shown to be completely useless when Ceres' mouth is covered with a gag, piece of tape, or any other means of forcing her mouth closed, or if her vocal cords are harmed. At the upper limit of her scream's power, it could actually damage physical objects. This tehcnique could also be used to deflect cetain incoming attacks.
Name: Raging Cat
Rank: C-Ranked
Type: Offensive
Element: N/A
Description: During this technique, Ceres' eyes turn solid red, and her fur stands on end, becoming rigged and spiked. Her nose scrunches up as she goes into a rage of blind fury and infusing her own chakra into her fur begins to fire hair needles in every direction. She has yet to control this technique, therefore considering everyone within eye range a target and possible threat. In this state, Ceres cannot tell her allies from her enemies, and has then forbade herself from ever using it. This also requires precise chakra control, as she must infuse a certain amount of chakra into each hair being fired, and must be careful not exert too much. After the technique is complete, Ceres reverts back into her normal state.
Name: Tailed Tiger Technique
Rank: C-Rank
Type: Offensive
Element: Wind
Description: Ceres swings her twin tails at the enemy, animating and elongating them just as the Tenrai-ke Clan does, and whips them into the target. She also uses this technique as a sort of lasso to immobolize her enemy. She also uses this technique, by propelling her twin tails, enabling her to glide through the air, which comes in handy when attempting to perform a proper pounce.
