Yokais in the world of Naruto...

An uncommon commodity !

Quite a few clans have Yokai blood, the Hatake, Nara and Hoshigaki for example.

But it's much more common to have that one random family with a Yokai ancestor.

It is quite easy to notice a half Yokai, since their humanity and spirituality have difficulty to mix together.

If you see someone having animalistic attributes and wearing a fur/scales coat or a feather/fang/horn as jewellery, they are probably half Yokai.

Those objects are a part of that person's soul.

Stealing it is taking away a part of them.

Destroying it is ripping apart a part of them.

They will survive. They will live. But they would be suffering for the rest of their existence. With not possibly of regaining what they have lost

Being trusted with such object by them is... Much more than just trust at this point.

They gave you a part of themselves. Of their soul.

It's a show of love.

Karura was the best thing to ever happen to Rasa but for the power he sought, he lost her and with her, his own humanity

lowkey I’ve always thought that the Sand Sibs didn’t really look related so here’s me trying to finagle some family resemblance with their parents

EDIT: Wanted to add some notes about some details I keep in mind when drawing the siblings


1. Kankuro is the spitting image of his father, tho his face is more square and he has a broader nose. 


2. Gaara also has a strong resemblance to Rasa tho I give him softer and relatively more effeminate features while still trying to maintain his masculinity. His eyes are a bit bigger and are meant to take on a shape more like Karura’s


3. Temari is beautiful like her mother but her features are sharper and slightly more masculine bc of Rasa’s influence


4. Basically if you made a sliding scale with Rasa on one end and Karura on the other, it would be Kankuro > Gaara > Temari in order of resemblance to Rasa to Karura
