Personality: Haruka is at sometimes difficult to get along with, she is in fair quite opinionated and hard work to keep up with. She doesn't have very high tolerance levels and speaks her mind reacting as she would without worrying what she's saying. She is a bright and intelligent girl who knows what she wants and will go after it without thought.

She likes to be independent and only rely on herself, she trained herself on most occasions and finds it hard to accept help she has done so in the past to her dismay but sometimes she knows she may have to take a step back, occasionally.

When interacting with others she's usually quiet unless spoken to directly, she will address her elders and those she respects and will be more sociable towards those select few people. With strangers she is less talkative, and more observant taking in everything about the other person rather than letting off any information about herself. She will however participate in any drinking games or sparing matches that if offered to her, that she does get herself involved in regardless if its a stranger or not.

While she's on duty or involved in major fights, she keeps things professional and remains focused on the task at hand, unless of course if she knows she can beat someone she might just let her witty tongue goad an enemy into fighting her. During battles she tries to bide her time in fights and be perceptive and learns more about them and maybe try and seek out a weakness somehow. She is a reliable member of the Gotei 13 and has pride in her squad she likes to be the one to motivate others and made sure they don't give up.

In her free time she is much more laid back and calmer she will usually be on her own with her thoughts and enjoy her own company rather than big groups of people.

History:

Life as a human
Haruka was a young bright hopeful little girl who strived for the best her mother and father pushed her greatly to be the best she could. Her mother and father worked for a large business company being their own bosses meant their strived for success but at the cost of that they paid very little attention to a young Haruka, she was very lonely she loved school because of the friends she could make she hated coming home because no one was there.
She learned very quickly how to fend for herself monsters would enter her home and she'd be scared, crying and hiding it happened almost every night but no one was there to protect her, tell her everything would ok, never had she heard such words or reassurance.

Instead of continuing to hide she decided to make a stand she would stand up to these monsters and hide no more she stood before one and took it on so bravely but she wasn't strong to take on such a creature she was just a child who could see these monsters. She was badly hurt and her parents came home to discover her bloodied and beaten she was rushed to hospital and monitored. Speculation began to point the blame at her parents being the possible cause for her injuries.

Life as a shinigami
She was taken away from her parents and she never saw them again. She was taken to soul society because that night she died in the hospital from horrific injuries she sustained she was put into the shinigami academy a very quiet shy girl who spoke to no one yet her skills stood out she was in the background socially but never skill wise. She would fire off Kidou with little practice she took things in so quickly and impressed her teachers.

One of her instructors was Hozikmi Kyo, he took a shine to Haruka and taught her all kinds of skills and told her how passing on his knowledge would make her strong, it would make a community stronger. She listened to Kyo and learned his way of the shinigami the rules and laws they must abide by kidou spells and combat that she progressed into a great level. When she was much older she was made a seated officer of the 2nd division that specialised in combat that she seems to have flair and talent for and she became a fully-fledged shinigami.

She was sent all around to battles and picked up further experience vowing to pass on her knowledge and keep it going she blossomed into a good honourable shinigami and has been getting involved with many tasks, she will always put herself forward to help out where Soul Society need her.

Reiatsu Color: Red
Zanpakutô Spirit Name: Siren
Zanpakutô Spirit Appearance:
Siren is a small petite girl who appears to be in her teens although she appears young she is wise and speaks with authority. She only stands a mere 5 ft 4 inches and has a pale complexion and piercing blue eyes. She has black markings over some on her face and around her eyes others are makings on her wrists and ankles.

She also wears a large headdress that has endless charms attached to it and also what appears to be small feathers and wings. She is dressed in head to toe black lace including a lace choker.

Inner World: Siren's inner world is a scene of a isolated stormy sea as night, thick heavy clouds cover the skies that are illuminated by lightning every few seconds, there is a rough sea that usually has waves crashing into a single rocky island that is usually where Siren is placed. Siren is usually sitting there or be found there. Occasionally the sea becomes eerily calm and the lightening dies off. It is usually when Haruka is in a state of full focus and control that her inner world has a more calmer feel to it.

Sealed Zanpakutô Apperance : Siren is nothing more than just a simple small dagger like design when in its unreleased form. Haruka can easily keep it on her without being seen or noted that she even has a Zanpakutō. She usually has it tucked away in her robes carefully. It's hilt is wooden with a a couple of metal rings going round it at the base and at the end.

The blade itself is only 9 inches long it is double edged except for one side has a serrated edge to it that gives her a more brutal effect on her enemies if she so chooses.

Roleplay Sample: (Using a rp from another site) A large drop of rain hit against the golden skin of Haruka, her nose scrunched up when the rainwater came in contact with her, feeling the sudden cold that made her shiver, before the heavens opened up and she was quickly becoming soaked through, she hated nothing more than harsh rain, the smell that rain often brought suddenly filled her nose her expression not pleased by it. This town was oh so peaceful, it was of course in the early hours on the morning and darkness had set in over the town just the odd one or two houses had lights on, man who stayed up this late she had to wonder. But still this place was miles apart from where she came from, yeah where she came from right now wasn't all that great, uh lets see now Soul Society was in complete panic and shut down ever since the loss of such a highly respectable man being the captain commander Yamamoto-Sama he was a great man who had fought for Soul Society constantly she had admired that man and he wouldn't be forgotten in her eyes his defeat was an unceremonious scene and she wouldn't like to of been these shinigami that discovered the remains of his body.

It wasn't exactly like Haruka was in the best of shape herself right now although she knew from the cold showers hitting her body meant that she could still feel and have sensation, that was always a good sign, her nerves weren't dying off. She was not here on business or to just take a look at the hollow population, sure she had heard how Karakura was a highly attracting town for spirits and hollows it seemed the attract the most activity and it was probably because of all the amazing and highly gifted humans that were in this town she was aware that would be enough to draw any hollow.

But no Haruka was not here for hollows, it was only a mere hour that she had been here in Karakura laying on her front face down and quite clearly wounded and injured by what no one in this town would know nor did she think they could see her either, she began to think back on how she sustained her injuries an hour back she was patrolling Soul Society and told to keep watch on the night shift where Soul Society was doing these patrols because this war was going to be declared very soon, it would happen quickly and nothing so far had broken out, maybe the odd Shinigami encountered a Quincy but it was simply them marking out their territory trying to cause panic before they actually all came here and started a full out war there. So it had been Haruka's turn to patrol and it wasn't like she'd not done it before so it wasn't new to her. She'd done a few and nothing out of the ordinary happened that was until this particular night where she was confront by a Quincy a female one to be precise. Engaging in battle was the only thing Haruka could do she had to protect her division who were sleeping back there without a clue what was going on.

She knew she could alert them should she need back up but she thought she had this, that was until things took a turn for the worst and Haruka was hit by an arrow so she thought, whatever it was it pierced her body just above her navel she was hit and the Quincy didn't stop there she went in again to kick Haruka while she was down beating her with all she had realised more Quincy showed up she as out numbered and she couldn't move her body it felt heavy what could she do now? she needed to get out of here and quick, now Haruka had been a dab handy at making portals and gateways into other dimensions, but she had no use for it usually she didn't really need to go to other dimensions in her everyday life as a shinigami so she never really practised it but now it wouldn't come in handy but could she remember how to do it now? perhaps but she had to try it anyway.

Yet here she was in Karakura unknown to her where she had taken herself, her technique was a little rusty but she knew she was in the human world and all the street signs suggested this was Karakura great she escaped death from the Quincies but now she was just going to bleed out to death here in Karakura. Someone had to come by, she begged in her mind for help, anyone! it wasn't something that came naturally to her to ask of someone;s help but she needed it right now ''Help....'' she whispered barely anyone could hear that now could they. The rain just kept in hitting her lifeless body, hey she couldn't feel how cold the rain was any more, that was not a good thing.
