Shinji Murasaki

Shinji Murasaki (むらさき シンジ, Murasaki Shinji) is a shinobi from Soragakure.

Background
Shinji had a peaceful childhood. Like all other members of the Murasaki clan, since a young age he was teached on how to suppress his emotions to try to prevent demises in the already small clan.

Due to that training, Shinji never showed his feelings in front of other people, which made many of them find him off-putting. He was aware of that, but didn't mind. After he graduated from the Academy, he was placed in a team with Yuu Mayonaka, and, to his disappointment, Ren Minamoto.

Personality
Shinji is normally very quiet and serious, preferring to evaluate a situation before acting. Because of his precaution, he often harbors many information people around him don't know and can use it according to the purpose of the mission: this is shown in the Second Chuunin Exams, as he purposely did not react to the fight in the dining hall and used it as an opportunity to analyse everyone's fighting abilities, and so, know how to fight against them and who they should avoid.

Being teached to act that way since childhood, a side effect of that was apathy, and due to Shinji's analytical and silent persona, many people distance themselves from him, deeming him as weird and creepy. However, it's shown that he is gradually becoming less and less indifferent and cares a lot about his friends and teammates, even though it's hard for him to show it.

Especially in Part II, Shinji has shown a hot-headed trait, many times overreacting to his teammate Ren's teases and pranks. But he has also shown a more playful personality next to him, sometimes even teasing him back and admitting to himself in his thoughts that he enjoys Ren;s shenanigans and is always curious to know what kind of thing will he come up with next.

While normally hiding his emotions, in situations where he feels threatened or pressured, Shinji can lash them all out in anger. This is proven during Katsumi and Natsu's fight in the finals of the Chuunin Exams, where he openly screams motivational quotes to Katsumi.

Appearance
Shinji has fair skin with short, light purple hair and also light purple eyes.

He also wears a cyan shirt and navy blue pants along with shinobi sandals.
