Biography:
Konan is the last Akatsuki member to have her name revealed, she is often seen together with Pein. She is the only female member of the ten ring-bearing members of Akatsuki and wears a decorative paper flower. Her Akatsuki ring has the character for 'White' and she wears it on her right middle finger. Konan's powers appear to be paper based, she has the ability to transform her body into thousands of pieces of oragami paper. Each individual sheet can fold itself into different shapes, such as butterflies for reconnaissance missions.
It has been revealed that Konan was once a student under Jiraiya. She, along with fellow Rain village orphans Yahiko and Nagato, was taken in by Jiraiya for about a year during the Great Ninja War to be trained in various shinobi techniques. However, after meeting Jiraiya again during Naruto part II, Konan appears to hold a deep grudge against her former sensei for completely abandoning her and other orphans after their training was complete.
