Sora Tsukino, the Bleachified Pink Ranger

Human Template

Name: Sora Tsukino
Age: 18
Gender: Female


Personality: Being raised in a farm at the northern part of Japan, Sora was accustomed to colder temperature and labor, so when facing adversity, so she hardly despair or complain. This young lady starts out taking risks and do what is needed to do since during her farm life, she has to help her father harvest and plant crops quickly before the season ends while due to being in the northern trisection of Japan, they have little time in comparison to those of southern Japan. The adversity of farming shaped her into a focused individual with enough brawns to perform gymnastics and last longer in the long run. It is stereotypically stated that a farmhand has less intelligence than a city folk, but Sora proved to be as smart as the school expected her to be because of her focus gained from experience. Regrettably, her busy farm life robbed her of the fun side of childhood, so she may not catch a joke as quickly as she should be while usually was found taking on part-time jobs.

She lived alone while having annual visits from her parents and grandfather, so she has less family-related problems than average, but has to deal with things like an adult would like rent, bills and jobs. She was in fact an only child, so she does not completely understand what it meant to have a sibling. Outside of school, most of the shopkeepers in her living area knew her due to her frequent visits. She has worked in restaurants, convenience stores, market stalls and her recent was a pop culture shop that contains various forms of music, cartoons and posters; that shop is what made her popular with the teens as they get to see her both at the high school and at one of their many hangout spots. However, such popularity earned her a few enemies of her own, which often leads to daily encounters.

When it comes to kids and those in need, Sora often volunteered to help her coach teach gymnastics for younger generations and help around in charities. Her contributions were not as magnanimous as donors who are mainly business people who wanted to advertise or rich people who seen potential in the younger generations, but she smiled all the same. When few of her bullies came to her and tried to pick on her during her charities, she would not fight back and instead given the donations to her coach which she seemed to trust him with her life. She then walked out of the building to have a private talk with her bully, which most of the time ended with her walking away without a scratch, but there are times that she came back needing an ice-pack over her eye. Thus giving her the idea that she cannot always get away with words alone, she has to act.

Appearance: Sora is slender with a firm body structure and B-cupped breast size. Her hair was dark tan due to exposure to the sun, thick and down to her upper back. Always when doing cheerleading or gymnastic, she ties her hair back into a bun with a pencil. Her eyes are hazelnut which complimented her hair color. Her eyes are always the indication between depression (like relaxed and calm) and hyperness (like angry and scared) but the specific emotions will be indicated through her face and body movements, even her speech tends to give it away. Unlike most girls, Sora was stark when it comes to jewelry, meaning that she does not have any ring, earring, necklace or bangle. But what is the most noticeable feature are her faint, pink, smooth lips that seemed to compliment her youthful complexion.

When going to school, she does wear the Karakura High School’s uniform which consisted of blouse, bowtie, jacket, pleated miniskirt, socks and shoes. The blouse is a white button-up with short sleeves and has a chest pocket on the left while its collar was occupied by a red bowtie. During cold seasons, she wear a jacket that seemed to belong to one of the jocks of Karakura High School, dull yellow with copper zippers and two front pockets that she never used. Her miniskirt is grey and long enough to not feel exposed while short enough that she could be flexible while showing her feminine figure. The socks are different from the usual because each has two bands of pink around and near the mouth of the tube while the heel and toe are grey because they came with the socks. The shoes are made of hard leather stitched together with thin but very durable fiber wiring while fastened around her feet with cross-stitched laces that has enough friction to stay tied until Sora tugged them.

When not in school, she is seen wearing a casual t-shirt, the same jacket, a complimenting pair of sweatpants and platform sandals. All of her t-shirts are primarily white with a decal on the back that usually is a kenji word for a virtue while surrounded by a detailed border like leaves, cherry blossoms and even fire; the others are just either plain or striped which are given to her as a gift from the charities she participated in. The pair of sweatpants are usually pink (because most of the sweatpants she finds in the stores are usually pink or grey and Sora does not like to appear depressive.) The platform sandals are made of wood with rubber sole to protect her bare feet from splinters; the sandals are elevated for the purpose of keeping her feet dry during wet weathers or out of the snow. Unlike regular soles, the rubber sole is created to warm up her feet upon applied pressure, so regardless of snow or rain; she can just dry off her feet and worry less about frostbite. All the time when wearing these, she does not wear socks with them.

During her time at the gym with her coach to do her gymnastics, Sora appears all business, focused. Her leotard was pink (by pure coincidence because her coach was the one who gave her that) while her bullies teased that it is her underwear or her “unflattering” bikini. Her hair was tied back into a bun by a pencil to keep it out of her face during practice and competition. Her recognizable trick was her 900 degree twisted front flip (basically four full rotations while in one front flip as a dismount from the balance beam.) Before practices, she either came in wearing her school uniform or her casual because even if she is out of school, she still comes to the gymnasium to practice gymnastics.

(Gymnast) Sora is capable of performing acrobatics and feats of agility, thus allowing her to jump higher than average while her reflex is also quicker due to body memory that recorded and repeated the processes of dynamic mobility. However, she does have her share of injuries, so she does know which stunt she should avoid to prevent any more injuries. The past injuries also granted her the benefit of tougher bones, allowing her to take more than just a slip to put her out of commission. It comes to being a gymnast to be fearless due to competitions that involved gymnastics.

(Cheerleader) Proud and charismatic, Sora was one of the few that most men would look at before the players. Not only she gained her popularity from her cheerleading and outstanding feats of agility, she was respected for her responsibilities that are given to her as a team member. Unfortunately, she has to deal with appearance and first social interactions most of the time so she would not make the cheerleaders look bad to the public. The benefit of it was her capability to follow team plans and improvise quickly and even talk her way out of trouble with bullies.

(Lucky) “Luck favors the prepared.” Quoted a short fashion designer and Sora was usually lucky due to her preparations that occurred outside the scenery. As a Gymnast and a Cheerleader, Sora was observant and does come up with a plan or two on her own. This may explain how she managed to deal with the tough situations physically and socially.

Excuse: I ran out of ideas, so I went conservative and created the face claims for these.
Power Development Stage 1 Abilities: When morphed into a ranger, Sora becomes able to see spirits when she could not without being morphed, thus allowing her to fight demons and hollows. Peripheral body memory was enhanced along with her physical prowess to allow her to fight enemies without having to learn years of combat techniques, though it is clear to her that she it is her powers that granted that while she was actually oblivious about knowing these fighting abilities. Being assigned to the Wind element, Sora is capable of running at high speed, jump higher, glide, and be aerially evasive. However, her only offense is her ability to repulse enemies away from her with an explosive wave of very strong wind.

Equipped with her are her ranger’s standard sword and blaster that is as capable as an unsealed zanpakuto, but the blaster does more damage than the sword as trade-off for awkward handling while the sword is quicker and more easily handled than the blaster. Later on, Sora acquired a composite bow that is more elegant than the blaster and far stronger than the blaster, but it has a slow rate of fire, due to needs of reeling the arrow back and aiming for the right spot. Sora primarily uses the blaster over her sword when dealing with weak demons and hollows while using her bow when dealing with a stronger foe (providing that the foe does not rush her instead of her teammates.) This leaves the sword as back-up in case she is forced to fight in close-quarter combat. However, Sora is capable of escaping most trouble spots, so that may not be an issue.

Her suit is equipped with a special shield that protects the wearer from spiritually energetic attacks from Hollows, Arrancars, and Demons alike. However, some attacks can decimate that shield like Gran Ray Cero (Example: Grimmjow) and Azure-Flame (Example: Vohlis.) Physical attacks from Hollows, Arrancars and Demons are also blocked by the shield, despite the visual depiction that she has taken a hard hit. Fortunately, taking a hit from a spirit does not immediately kill the wearer; instead, she can stand back up after recovering shortly after taking a hit.

Background: Sora was born in a farm in Northern Japan and raised there until she is fourteen. She then moved to Karakura City to attend high school and try to get a good education for her father’s sake. Basically, her father wanted her to get into college so she could help him whenever technology was in the fritz at the farm. When attending high school, she made some friends and was told by her physical education instructor that he would be happy to have her around for helping the kids with exercises and extra criteria like gymnastics. Feeling it is the right thing to do, Sora joined her coach in teaching children how to exercise correctly and staying active.

In that session, she spotted a gymnast flying around (figuratively) and was amazed by that gymnast alone. She approached the gymnast after the practice and talked to him for a while before he decided to teach her to be a gymnast. Thanks to Sora’s past experience with hard work, the gymnast was impressed and helped her train and practice ever since. Sophomore year, she joined the cheerleading squad and soon became noticed by many students, which exploded into her fair share of popularity. However, because of her popularity, she had two punks looking to cause trouble with her, but that very small population of bullies grew very slowly to five then seven.

Senior year, she earned a lot of scholarships and already was asked by two colleges and one university. The problem is surviving the last year of school with ten bullies looking to rough her up if she “kept flaunting her status” or as few of her bullies put it. One day, she met a woman in a festival who told her the name, “Hollows.” Baffled by the mentioning, Sora was left to wonder what does she meant by “Hollows.” With her friends, she investigates.
