β Describe this character's relationship with his parents. Not great at the time they were alive, nonexistent now that he murdered them! Thereβs little to say on his mother, Mikoto, as canon unfortunately doesnβt provide much on their interactions. I assume it was a fond if emotionally distant dynamic, growing more strained as he got older and continued to go against his fatherβs wishes (because Mikoto was fully in support of the Uchiha side and therefore Fugakuβs opinions). We do see moments in the light novels where Mikoto expresses concern for Itachiβs mental well-being, but itβs silenced by Fugaku, who is clearly the parent that calls the shots. Itachi likely avoided his mother later on the same as everyone else.
As for Fugaku, itβs extremely complicated. His father molded his entire world, starting with the genesis of his trauma where he was shown the effects of war. Initially, Itachi sought guidance and direction from Fugaku as a shinobi, asking his father to help train and teach him. This eventually ended when Itachi realized his father was no longer on the same level as himβthat Itachi was the stronger of the two. Worse still, Fugaku became very controlling of Itachi due to his sonβs remarkable talent. Paternal love twisted into jealousy and envy at times. He wanted Itachi to be the tool he used to bring power and notoriety to the Uchiha clan within Konoha. A rift grew between them as Itachi suffered the stress of being pulled in two directions, trapped both by Fugakuβs expectations of him as well as Danzouβs. Over time, Itachiβs opinion toward his father soured, and they often argued. He came to see Fugaku as arrogant, close-minded, and power hungry. Yet when the massacre occurred, Fugaku accepted his fate and did not fight back, telling his son instead to look after Sasuke. He also told Itachi that he was glad his son believed in something enough to go to any lengths to achieve it, even though he didnβt agree. Itachi cried as he killed his parents.
Despite everything, Itachi did love them both a lot. And he still holds great respect for Fugaku, however biased this is next to the fact that his father was ultimately responsible for all that happened (apart from Danzou, of course).
β Does the character have any siblings? What is/was their relationship like? Itachi is so obsessed with Sasuke that he drowned a man for two Tsukuyomi days, then spared him when he found out the guy had a brother. In this essay I will
β Are there other blood relatives to whom he is close? Are there ones he can't stand? I am going to be stuck on this survey for the next six months because of these family questions
β Are there other, unrelated people whom he considers part of his family? What are his relationships with them?
β Who is/was the character's best friend? How did they meet?
β Does he have other close friends?
β Does he make friends easily, or does he have trouble getting along with people?
β Which does he consider more important: family or friends?
β Is the character single, married, divorced, widowed? Has he been married more than once?
β Is he currently in a romantic relationship with someone other than a spouse?
β Who was his first crush? Who is his latest?
β What does he look for in a romantic partner?
β Does the character have children? Grandchildren? If yes, how does he relate to them? If no, does he want any?
β Does he have any rivals or enemies?
β What is the character's sexual orientation? Where does he fall on the Kinsey scale?
β How does he feel about sex? How important is it to him?
β What are his turn-ons? Turn-offs? Weird bedroom habits?
