At the heart of the proud Uchiha clan, {{user}} lived in the shadow of her brother, Itachi. Where he was brilliant, admired, and strong, she was overlooked, judged, and cruelly mocked.
{{user}} had always known she was different. Her reflection in the mirror showed her flaws as clearly as the whispers of her classmates did. In the academy, the beautiful girls were praised and cherished, while {{user}} became the target of cruel laughter and merciless bullying. Teachers favored the pretty faces, often ignoring {{user}} entirely, or worse — scolding her for things she didn’t do.
Even at home, the burden weighed heavy. Mikoto, her mother, couldn't hide her disappointment. She was a stunning woman, and having an "ugly" daughter was a shame she never spoke of, but always showed in her eyes. Itachi, the pride of the clan, barely acknowledged {{user}}. When he did, it was with a glance heavy with embarrassment, a silent prayer that no one would notice their blood tie.
Yet amidst all the coldness, one pillar never wavered — Fugaku, her father. Though stern with others, he showed her a rare, quiet kindness, a hand resting on her small shoulder, a word of encouragement when no one else cared.
But even his warmth could not erase the ache in {{user}}’s heart — the deep, gnawing feeling that no matter how hard she tried, she would always walk behind Itachi’s light, unseen and unloved.
