- Titles: The Free Reaper
- Gender: Female
- Appearance Age: Early Twenties Late Teens
- Age: 104
- Affiliation/Rank: Eight Division Gotei 13

- Personality: Akari's a strong-willed woman, growing up gazing at her father's work from behind, aspiring to be strong in physique and mind. In addition to the condition of her body and its effect on her ability to relate to the physical suffers and enjoyments of others her age, Akari's own psyche was forged into that of one with willpower; for example, soon after taking full notice to what she had lacked in physique as compared to the other children her age, Akari nearly immediately worked on it arduously, eventually achieving the same physical limits as even some of the strongest of boys in her neighborhood.

Akari has somewhat of a trauma due to Hueco Mundo, and more specifically, what transpired there around the middle of her life. After her father's supposed death, even setting foot in the Land of the Hollows would make her lose what usually was her extreme focus.

Speaking of Focus, Akari is quite capable of shifting her concentration and keeping on task rather well, shown when her limits in mind, body, and spirit were pushed during her time in captivity. Rather than lounging around, complaining about her imprisonment or staying angry at her comrades, she trained and found peace- to an extent.

In light of mentioning her finding peace, Akari isn't one to linger on things. Though she can indeed be able to keep on something mentally, such is generally when she needs to be, such as having to concentrate on training or other tasks requiring attention. She's neither quick to anger nor easy-going or tolerant. Akari has set standards and expectations, but is understanding as well. In a word, though she may be young, one might see her as 'wise'-- for those that new her pre-Imprisonment, they might still see her to be the once spirited, excitable gal who aspired to go as far as her arms couldn't reach.

Not only after her Imprisonment, but after her joining the Eleventh Division, and even more so dependent on her meeting with what seemed to be her father, Akari was much calmer than before, again relating to 'wisdom'. Though she may have lost her whole balance of inner peace after Hueco Mundo, her actions and thoughts aren't affected by her trauma as they once might've been.

Examples being her physique increase as a child, the Academy, entering the Eleventh Division and Imprisonment, one can tell that when she wants something, her determination is like the boar-- nonstop and continuous, furthermore hard to stop.

Though so far one might associate Akari with the cool, calm collective type, what's been said about her increase in wisdom and inner peace are simply comparisons to her previous behavior. Akari's base traits still linger, such as an overall happy, optimistic attitude. On first impression, Akari might even seem to be the happy-go-lucky, troublesome and fun-loving type, however, nowadays she's not as drastic and over-bearing. With the decrease in audacity the girl's developed a cuter impression, in a word.

- History: As rare as it is, Akari was born a spirit. Her mother, a relatively average citizen in Soul Society-- her father, a shinigami of the Eleventh Division. Neither of them had any profound merits or outstanding qualities, but both had unfathomable love for each other, and when Akari was born, their love extended to her as well.

Akari, born of a shinigami, naturally had a larger spiritual pressure than most her age. Along with a spirit's inherent longevity, by the time she was 10, she appeared to be 6, presenting a body that aged slower than her mind. There were hurdles to jump due to this condition, such as teasing for her small size, inability to be equal in physique as nearly all of them, and as a woman she had yet to understand some things other girls were going through.

The young girl abhorred her condition, but her parents loved her enough for who she was despite her appearances that there wasn't self-resentment so much as disappointment. However, her physique still presented a problem with certain activities required of those her actual age. To make up for this, she performed arduous regimens unsuited to children. It was hard work, but she eventually caught up to even some of the strongest boys in her neighborhood.

Along with her physique, Akari's own training strengthened her spiritual side, sizing up her spiritual pressure to an equal point as many in the Shinigami Academy. Her father clearly took notice of this, and asked her if she would like to be one. Akari, who loved her parents as much as they loved her accepted the offer without hesitation; it would mean her being closer to her father, and should she excel, she might achieve something to make him proud.

At the age of 16, with the body of a 10 year-old and physical capabilities of an 18 year-old, Akari ahd joined the Academy. Already accustomed to her own training regimens, it was relatively easy completing the necessary requirements to graduate the Academy. By the age of 23, she was out, with a spiritual pressure matching those seated in even the eleventh division. In fact, she was recommended for Squad 11, as her build since she was little had been catered to strength, speed and other physical characteristics as opposed to spiritual ones, such as Kido or Hoho; and yet, she found herself in the Eighth Division: Reserves.

She would have been delighted to be in the Eleventh-- there, she might find glory to honour her father. It was the very man she wanted to be a Shinigami for that caused her to be in the Eighth. Above all else, Akari was still her father's "little girl", and he wanted to protect her as much as he could. To do so, he successfully put her in the Reserves, which was out of harm's way-- at least, more so than the Eleventh.

Akari was rather depressed, but as it was her father's wishes, she would respect them, until a few decades later.

Akari was 53 at this time, and naturally, she looked as young as ever- 16 years in visage. The more she grew, the slower the physical reflection. The Eighth division had received an order to go support the Shinigami in Hueco Mundo of assorted and mixed Divisions, as an accident had occurred. Naturally, Akari was worried, but not excessively. She had faith in her Father's strength -since, as it turns out, her Father was sent in the initial mission-; in essence, a rescue mission was taking place, and Akari was a part of it.

Preparing to leave immediately for the mission, Akari was one of the first to arrive at a Senkaimon Gate, but to her surprise no-one else was present. She was the only one prepared to journey to Hueco Mundo.

Three days had passed before Akari grew exhausted of complaining and fighting those of her division, pleading why the mission did not go through. Her answer was unprecedented and enraging; fear grew in the hearts of those who were meant to go on this mission. As the Eight Division were reserves, many of the new recruits had yet to fight hollows, and even worse, they were soon to be sent to Hueco Mundo, which sprawled with Hollows and Arrancar all over. Furthermore, it was a rescue mission, which meant that those already sent, not of the Eighth Division, were unable to hold their own.

Many high-seated officers, including the Captain and Lieutenant, were away on 'more important business' in the span of these three days; no-one was willing to go. Even some seated officers hinted cowardice.

Akari was enraged-- their own fellow Shinigami were abandoned.

For some time, Akari ended up on the first level of Imprisonment for attacking those in her division, severely wounding more than a few. Within, Akari calmed herself overtime, but still held feelings of resentment deep within her. Rather than being enraged over the cowardice of the Eighth Division, she felt anger for Cowardice itself. It was in this allotted time of Imprisonment that Akari formed a bit of wisdom as well, and even increased her own Spiritual and Physical Abilities.

After some time, approximately 50 years, she was eventually released, her visage still young as ever. The girl was calm and serene, but her eyes still showed fury deep within.

Naturally, there were doubts of her mental state, as while she was Imprisoned, she was notified that there was no rescue or definite evidence of the survival of her Father and his subordinates in Hueco Mundo. In her father's death, Akari's desire to be a Shinigami was strengthened, and she longed to achieve something and bring pride in her Father's name. However, first she needed to prove her loyalty to the Gotei once again, and regain trust. Then, she would aspire to enter the Eleventh Division.

A few years passed, and her trustworthiness naturally increased. During the span of these years, Akari volunteered to attend more and more missions, raising reputation and strength in the Eighth. It was on one of these missions she had visited Hueco Mundo. Few memories still lingered, but her heart clearly remembered the pain she felt due to this place.

It was in Hueco Mundo that her goals increased. Wandering about, searching for a group of people she was sent to aid, she had been confronted by what seemed to be a shinigami with a hollow-mask donned: a vizard.

His mask was pulled off, and behind showed a familiar face. The face of her father. Akari was confused; she had no idea what to do. Akari was sure he had died, and yet here he stood before her. So many questions welled up in her head, so many answers she sought, but before she could ask, her father spoke.

"The world will soon know the name of the Kurikku. Please, don't be in the wrong place at the wrong time."

Immediately afterwards he wore the mask once again and sped off.

Akari was unstable, but she retained enough focus and intent to continue and finish her mission, just barely. Even more so, the overwhelming news of being switched over to the Eleventh Division right after meeting her father for the first time in nearly 60 years, she had taken a break of Shinigami work.

A few weeks would pass over before she once again rejoin the ranks of Seireitei, and now with new goals.

Now that she was in Squad 11, she needed to make a name for herself. And who were the Kurikku? Where is her father now, and what did he mean by "wrong place, wrong time"? And the most important and oldest question of all, 'Doctor Who?'

- Reiatsu Color: Maroon

- Zanpakutô Spirit Name: Shibusa, Akasei (Random Last Name, Aka + Seijin = Red Saint ->> Akasei)

Zanpakutô Spirit Appearance

- Inner World: An old traditional Japanese Zen Garden. After many of the events that calmed herself down, the inner world has reflected her peace within; however, due to the recent event of Hueco Mundo, the Inner World is in constant rain, even if Akari fails to feel down and depressed-- within, she realises that her father's alive, and he's not returning for a reason.

- Zanpakutō Spirit's "History": Akasei has her own history, in fact. Sometime during Akari's imprisonment, Akasei spoke to her. It was Akasei who actually aided Akari's training within imprisonment, helped her find peace and attain wisdom, and was furthermore the main cause in Akasei's jump in 'power'. However, despite all of this, Akasei never spoke her name.

Naturally, Akari pushed for it, wanting to know who it was that kept her company, even if within her mind only. Surprisingly, Akari's desire to know Akasei, and an already formed relationship between the two as well as Akari's knowledge of her inner Zanpakutō Spirit, a manifestation of Akasei, though false in image, was produced.

This helped as a medium between the two in communication, as well as interaction and other tasks. Of course, though bizarre and generally only accomplished during the activation of one's Bankai, this was simply some sort of ability Akari could manage.

Again, Akasei appeared in false image, as what manifested wasn't her own actual appearance. It was during the time in Hueco Mundo that Akasei discussed the reason of why she could not create Akasei's true form as tangible, and why Akasei could not tell Akari her name. Akasei found her master to not yet be ready enough to handle her Zanpakutō's next stage, and so before speaking her name, Akari would first have to deal with her inner turmoil-- namely,finding peace with her father and his current standings.



- Sealed Zanpakutô Appearance : After the time of Akari's Imprisonment, she could instead use Akasei's fake physical form as the sealed form of her Zanpakutō, not actually needing to carry it in bladed form. However, if needed, Akari can dissipate Akasei's false image and the blade from her hip would remain out of sheathe-- thus, the bladed form of Akasei would appear.

The blade, with Akasei's false form essentially being it's sheathe, has a standard look to it all-round, with a standard 40 in. length, usual handguard, and perfectly normal hilt.

Zanpakutô Spirit Manifested

- Sealed Zanpakutô Abilities: Though the manifestation of the false image of her Zanpakutō's Spirit might be considered an ability, it's mostly to be treated as its 'appearance'.

Even for a shinigami of the Eleventh Division, and one not seated nor with a shikai at that, Akari's strength seems to be immense. With sheer strength alone and no additional supplement of external sources, such as reiryoku, Akari could topple a nine-story building with a single left-hand jab-- Akari's right handed. After training to be stronger than one's single-year aged body would normally permit, along with training to be a shinigami and natural physical development Akari's strength was already roughly three times that of an average male shinigami with Reiryoku-infused performances. Along with the training in Imprisonment and Guidance of her Zanpakutō spirit, Akari's strength would put manly men to shame.

As much as it was mentioned in her history, to enforce the idea, once again stated: Akari has a rather large Spiritual Pressure. In fact, one might say huge. Already having a head start in it's growth when she was little, Akari's reiryoku by now perhaps surpasses more than a few seated officers in the Eleventh Division. To compare, with a fully focused reiryoku-infused left-footed kick (Akari's right-footed), from 20 metres away Akari could slice through a 20 metre thick steel block.

Akari's Kido is lacking, being able to perform only up to the 30th Kido Spell. 'Nuff said.

Wanting to join Eleventh Division from early on, Akari trained intensively in swordplay for several decades. To say the least, Akari's found great progress. To size up her abilities with a sword, with ease she could slice through a 1 metre thick steel block; this being with minimal effort and focus. At most, without any external aid, Akari could go through 30metres of a pure steel block in one swing.


As awesome as Akari's abilities go, even without her Shikai, this is as far as they go. Akari lacks speed or any exceedingly special ability. As far as she's come, Akari's found herself only to be exceptional with direct, physical combat.
