[X] Classy and imperious, just like Mother would do!
I like all the choices that play with the fact that we are somewhat mentally older than the rest of the children. With this one, our pre-death experiences should make it natural to behave elite-like and act with more authority than the rest of the children, like a confident adult instead of a pompous brat.
From a min-maxing perspective, this approach would work great with high social skills. We could end up being the leader of the class if we don't tank our studies. However, even with our low charisma, we will probably end up generally respected and well connected. Our empathy will help here, as we will get a lot of mileage from being able to help our classmates when they have small needs that we can fulfill. Acting classy also means being good at studies, so that's covered. We might be a bit hard to approach and thus have no real friends, but that is fine, as we can start making true friends with our Genin Team later. We will probably also gain an enemy or two (Kiba and the other rowdy ones are prone to really disdain our style), but that is nothing we can't handle.
From a role-playing perspective this is refreshingly different, with intrigueing interaction with Mother and rowdy classmate haters. It nicely dodges the most trodden paths (nerdy loner or class fool anyone?). The lack of true friendship is a minus, but at this point it's either that or sucking at our studies (we aren't good enough to carry anyone with us yet), so it can't be helped.
