Digital illustration of a fierce female ninja anime character with long, jet-black hair tied in a high ponytail with red streaks. Her sharp, determined eyes are a piercing amber color. She wears a modernized, form-fitting ninja outfit in deep navy blue with crimson accents, featuring a cropped top, arm guards, and thigh-high boots. A large dragon tattoo in vibrant colors wraps around her exposed midriff. Use dramatic side lighting to create strong shadows, emphasizing her muscular physique and determined expression. Focus on her dynamic pose, capturing her mid-leap with a katana in one hand and shuriken between the fingers of the other. Apply a subtle wind effect to her hair and clothing to enhance the sense of motion. Incorporate faint cherry blossom petals in the background for a touch of traditional Japanese aesthetics.
