Name: Fukue Yomi
Age: 65 (Appears about 16)
Physical Description: From head to toe Yomi stands at a moderate height of 5’4” and has developed a very lithe figure from her training. Overall her body is slender yet well toned, visibly built more for speed than raw strength, and her skin has a healthy peach complexion. Her jet black is worn long and usually kept very neat, with the occasional braid or two being present, and her face is gently curved, being home to a pair of bright blue eyes and a small nose.
Personality: More often than not people will describe Yomi as a fairly calm and composed person, one who rarely ever gets angry. Around acquaintances and strangers she comes off very genial and friendly, as well as a person who is easy to approach. One of her most prevalent traits is her obsession with beauty and nature. In her eyes all things have something that is beautiful about them, even if they aren’t always obvious. As a member of the 2nd Division she prefers to take her enemies out stealthily instead of fighting them head on. She also doesn’t like to act needlessly in battle, never unsealing her zanpakutou unless she feels she needs to.
Squad: 2nd Division, 4th seat
Zanpakutou: Bikouhime (Shadow Princess)
- Unreleased: When dormant Bikouhime takes the form of a chisakatana, it’s silver blade being nineteen inches in length. Its tsuba takes the shape of golden crescent moon connecting the blade to its pitch black tsuka, which has a short chain attached to it. As for its sheathe it has a plain black color with white sageo wrapped near his opening.
- Released: Ikiwohaku Bikouhime (Exhale Shadow Princess) – When the command is given Bikouhime takes the form of an unusually shaped manriki-gusari. Its silver chain is sixteen feet in length, and at each end is an odd looking dagger. Each dagger has a twelve inch long double edged blade running directly into a short, unwrapped hilt. Where the blades and hilts meet there a small hole meant just large enough for Yomi’s fingers to fit in, along with two small projections that can act as guards.
- Shikai: Bikouhime is often described as an “anti-kidoh” type zanpakutou. Once released Yomi’s reiatsu becomes like the void itself, being completely undetectable to most methods of spiritual energy, making it perfect for stealth and assassinations. Additionally to making her reiatsu seemingly disappear Bikouhime also is shrouded in a dark purple aura that has the ability to defuse reiatsu on contact. Because of this Yomi has the ability to cut through kidoh-like abilities with relative easy. Lastly whenever a spiritual entity is cut by Bikouhime is any way a small amount of its aura is injected into it, making it slightly harder for them to collect reiatsu for their abilities. The more times a person is cut the harder it becomes for them to gather reiatsu.
History: Yomi was born the third of four potential heirs to Seireitei’s noble Fukue, being younger than her elder brother Yasuo and sister Wakana, and older than her younger sister Shizue. Her relationship with her older siblings has always been close to nonexistent, both being seemingly always too busy to spend time with her. The only member of her family she was ever close to was Shizue, and that was only because of a concerted effort on her part.
Like most of her siblings her training to enter the Gotei 13 began at a fairly early age, and it hadn’t taken her tutors very long to realize that her talents lied with hohuo. Because of this her training was geared toward preparing her for joining the second division, where her natural abilities could be put to best use, and her time spent in the academy was fairly short due to the special training she had undergone.
She would learn her zanpakutou’s name a few years after joining the second division while on a routine mission in the real world, and would eventually find herself rising to her current position as fourth seat of her division.
