The OC's
How they met
Yuko and Hiroko met each other after Yuko had moved back to Konoha. She was at the training ground to practice her weapon techniques when Kotetsu and Izumo showed up to train along with Hiroko. The four of them trained together. After that Yuko and Hiroko would occasionally bump into each other at the training ground and other times with Kotetsu and Izumo. The two of them did not take long to become friends and started hanging out in private as well.
Hatake Yuko
Small facts
If you want to know something specific that isn't mentioned below, or in the info sheet, or if you need an exact color scheme for an outfit just ask just ask Yuko--San!
Yuko was born in Konoha, but her parents, Daichi and Sachiko decided to move their weapon and herb shop to Kumogakure when she was 5 years old, due to low income because of competition from another shop.
Kakashi often teased Yuko with her very lousy and bad ninja skills.
Yuko and her parents arrived in Kumogakure two months before the third shinobi world war started. After that, the Raikage suspected them to be spies, so he put them under 24/7 surveillance, weekly inspections of their home and shop, and they were forbidden to take any kind of contact to anyone from outside of the village. Even after the war, and after the fourth Raikage took over, they were still under surveillance for a year.
She lost her parents when she was 11 years old. She was told that they were killed by a gang of thieves, but in reality Sachiko's clan members had found them and taken them back to the clan area. After that, Yuko's sensei, Makoto, took her in.
Yuko trained hard to become a great ninja and became a ninja expert and specialist when she was 19 years old. Her determination and persistence came from her will to not give up. To prove that she was a better ninja than Kakashi said she was.
Yuko dated Shii (C) for a few months when she was 16 years old. It was not a sexual relationship.
Yuko moved back to Konoha when she was 25 years old. She was not happy to see Kakashi again and did her best to avoid him.
She received a letter of her sensei's death about a month after she had moved back to Konoha. She went to Kumogakure for her funeral and Kakashi was with her, since Tsunade worried for her state of mind after the loss of her sensei, since it took hard on her.
Yuko slowly fell in love with Kakashi the more time she spent with him and noticed that he was not the same as when they were kids.
Yuko gives birth to the twin boys when she's 26 years old. She gives birth to Umeko when she's 30 years old. She gives birth to Naoki when she's 34 years old.
For more references of Yuko, the kids and others, please look in the "Yuko references" folder in the group gallery. Although, when drawing Hayate, PLEASE keep in mind that his pants and weapon holsters looks like on this picture Brothers training together (the guy with magenta hair) and the rest of his outfit looks like the other pictures of him.

Small facts
If you want to know something specific that isn't mentioned below, or in the info sheet, or if you need an exact color scheme for an outfit just ask just ask SpiritOfStars!
Hiroko is NOT originally from Konoha, she moved there from Iwagakure with her parents since Takeo(Hiroko’s father) knew how to make great quality weapons.
She first met Kotetsu and Izumo at the academy when she was about 9 or 10 years old and quickly got along well with them. For many years, even though they were not on the same teams, she would be invited to train and hang out with them.
Around the time when she started developing a crush on Kotetsu when she was 14, that was when her father went insane and had killed her brother and mother out of his insanity. Ever since then, Kotaro served as her father figure and stepped down from Clan Head to take better care of her.
Hiroko moved to the clan compound when she was 15 but she moved back to Konoha when she was 18 and lived on her own since.
She does not like to be seen by people she used to know, because she thinks it would be awkward. The only exception to this at the time was Iruka, who had helped her settle in and when he wasn’t busy would hang out with her.
She has seen Kotetsu and Izumo around from time to time, but never had long conversations with them. It wasn't until she was 20/21 when that happened.
Hiroko doesn't get married to Kotetsu until she's 23 then gets pregnant with the twins when she's 24
