P E R S O N A L I T Y

Personality: Jenna was best known for her choice of wearing a maid outfit over the uniform and getting away with that through an upsetting battle against her instructor; she won by total victory. Her charms are her calmness and her fun-loving nature. She is the kind who would go with Yachiru to play pranks. However, her biggest flaw was being easily recognizable by appearance alone, yet she chose not to change it.
_____In battle, she unsheathed two kukris from underneath her lower apron as the sheath are usually located in front of her legs and paralleled along eachother to allow mobility. Despite her never liking violence, she explained that because she is a pacifist, it does not mean that she could not fight back. Her best sword technique was only seen once during the battle against her instructor during the first year of her academy years.
_____When it calls for duty, she acted calm instead of serious because her aim was to project order, not fear. But when she is angry, people can pick that up by seeing her looking away or not keeping eye contact. She still has her sorrows, but she takes it out by playing a mental game with her zanpakuto spirit. The worst case of her problems was when she would collapse completely due to an illness she has since gained her Shikai.

History/Background: Jenna was born in the Rukongai and was raised by two parents who have little left to spare. However, their love for their child was strong enough that it is hard for them to abandon her for their own survival. As she grew, she spent her time dancing to silence, which struck her parents as odd. It happened again and again as her parents could not take it anymore. They pushed her out and told her to play outside. Jenna was exposed to the new world and most of them are nice. She explored the district while staying near her homely shack, but when she returned, she saw her parents dragged out by thugs. Normally a child would be traumatized by the sight and Jenna was no different, but she shown it in a different way. She rushed to the thug on the left, jumped on her father’s back and grappled around the thug’s head while she began bonking the thug’s head with her loose fists like no tomorrow. Her bravery rallied a mob of men and women around her against the two thugs after the second thug punched her in the back, causing her to fall off and shoved dirt into her mouth, causing her to cough profusely. The two thugs were beaten down with sticks, brooms, pans, pots, hands, feet, you name it. It took Jenna a few days to get the dirt out of her system, though she still having the coughs because of the dirt.
_____An opportunity came to her when the Shino Academy was allowing more enrollment applicants. She was not the first, but she was not the many who are too late to apply. She entered the academy and began her lessons and training to become a Shinigami. She made some trips to Earth for field tests and casual day-offs, but one of the trips sparked her interest in wearing...a maid’s outfit and antiques like a hand-crafted music box and a novel, “Les Miserables.” Her instructors often told her to stop wearing the maid’s outfit and get serious about her uniform. At one point, the Zanjutsu instructor scorned her loudly as Jenna became so annoyed, she negotiated that if she wins against him, she considered her maid’s outfit to be her official uniform. The Zanjutsu instructor agreed, knowing that there is no way that a student could beat a...spoke too soon. During her Earth-Trips, she also learned a specific sword technique and her Blade-Dancing technique not only won the fight outright, it surprised the class.
_____After her graduation, her maid’s outfit became her signature as her official uniform, but was shortly celebrated as she suddenly collapsed in the pub. Her friends knew that it was not the alcohol, because she did not drink anything other than pure water. She was taken to the Fourth Division’s relief center to find out caused her to faint. Unfortunately, the members of the Fourth Division could not find the source of her illness other than from her zanpakuto. Suddenly, both members and Jenna’s friends freaked out as her zanpakuto are instinctively drawn out by Jenna and changed into its Shikai form while Jenna was unconscious. One of the members suspected that she was tugged out of this world and into the inner-world by her zanpakuto spirit so she could learn the shikai. Two days later, Jenna was released from care, but was stuck with the illness that was beyond the abilities of the Fourth Division.

OLD ZANPAKUTO

Zanpakutô Spirit Name: Grigori
Appearance: He appears to look like an elderly man standing on the borderline between a grassy meadow of paradise and the withering wasteland of damnation. Given that Jenna plays mental games with him, Grigori is quite intelligent and wise. But due to his frailty, it seemed to reflect upon Jenna as her illness that does not kill her, but plagued her still.
Inner World: It is revealed when she released her zanpakuto with her reiatsu at high level. It appears as the grassy meadow on Jenna’s side, but a barren wasteland on her foe’s side, representing that the foe’s future is nothing to Jenna.
Sealed Zanpakutô : It appears as two kukris hidden between her skirt and her lower apron while paralleled. The curved blades were thick along the back and sharp along the front for slashing purposes only. Unlike most zanpakutos, her zanpakutos cannot stab.

Release: “Break free! Grigori Rasputin!”

Shikai Description: Her pair of kukris became a pair of kamas that are chained to her wrists so she is capable of throwing these kamas and give a tug to call them back. Along the chain starting five inches away from her hands, there are flat-spikes that is capable of cutting her foe profusely should they be wrapped in her chains. Providing that her kamas are related to Ninjitsu (Art of Shadow or Ninja Arts), her reason that she beaten her instructor was her being capable of fast reflex, high flexibility and some dirty tricks under the philosophy, “It’s you or me who are going to die.”
Shikai Abilities:
Enhanced Physical Resistance: Jenna seemed to suffer less damage than before while her illness seemed to not bother her anymore. This cued the idea that it will take more than usual to hurt her like she was in sealed state.
Enhanced Speed: Jenna reacts with shorter time, she can attack quicker and she can run quicker than usual. This benefited her style of swordsmanship that was called, “Blade-Dancing.”
Alleviate: It is unknown how she does it, but whenever she cuts someone, they are lifted of any disease or poison, even illnesses except her own. However, it usually followed from profuse bleeding upon the victim which some of the fourth division members considered it as not reliable unless they critically need it...which is never.

Bankai Description: When initiated from its sealed state, Grigori transformed from a pair of kukris into a pair of short scimitars that is primarily melee-based. She usually held them with right sword held properly and left sword held in reversed handling. When initiated from its shikai state, Grigori transformed from a pair of kamas and chains into a double-ended scythe with chains still linked between the zanpakuto and her wrists, granting her full control of its “off-handed” attacks. If not attacking, it usually floats above her head or in her hands (completely by her choice.)
Bankai Abilities:
Ailing Heart: Jenna usually avoided using the Bankai because it would make her worst case (her collapsing from her illness) become true earlier. Her Bankai was limited to only 10 rounds, but when expired, Jenna faints from her illness and becomes helpless.
Dance of Twin Worlds: While Jenna performed her Blade-Dance, her reinyoku became more concentrated to her twin scimitars considerably, thus reducing her resistances to attacks, but the results are devastating as each slash is powerful enough to rival Kenpachi Zaraki’s raw power, but Jenna admittedly knows that even at her full strength, she could not stand a chance against someone who “lives, breathes and sleeps the life of honorable violence.”
Coup De Grace: Also known as her One Last Dance because the aftermath always will be her falling unconscious from her illness, Jenna concentrated most of her reinyoku (leaving her with too little left to even stand on her own) into one of the blades of her double-ended scythe and began to fight her foe. If her foe was struck with the charged blade, that foe will be taking a near-fatal damage that only a master of hierro or someone with mastery in barriers could survive with only half of the damage, but still considered devastating.

NEW ZANPAKUTO

Zanpakutô Spirit Name: Monki-Sabaku Bikutori-Tenraku

Appearance: The nameless spirit has no form at all other than appearing as a silver mirror that provided a reflection of Jenna or those who peered into it.

Inner World: The area within it was no more than a room full of mirrors and zanpakutos that Jenna learned about in the past. When using Bankai, that same room appeared around herself and her enemy.

Sealed Zanpakutô : It appears as two kukris hidden between her skirt and her lower apron while paralleled. The curved blades were thick along the back and sharp along the front for slashing purposes only. Unlike most zanpakutos, her zanpakutos cannot stab.

Release: When Jenna is intending to copy the zanpakuto that she witnessed, she will say, “Plant your seed and envy the way you don't have, Monki.” With the abilities copied and taught to her, she can pose like the old master and recite the phrase of the other zanpakuto. After that, she is capable of using that ability to her advantage.

Shikai Description: When Shikai is called, the sealed zanpakutos remained the same, but if its power is called, they bend their shape to replicate the original.

Shikai Abilities: Generally, her zanpakuto was kept secret and believed to have the power to summon Genryusei's old zanpakuto, Ryujin Jakka as Yamamoto's vigilant legacy passed down to Jenna. However, the truth behind it was its capability to "learn" other zanpakuto powers and utilize them if Jenna knows how to activate them. Her most powerful learned technique was Genryusei's Ryujin Jakka. However, on its own, it is useless until it starts using the powers of other zanpakutos. The prime benefit was its versatility in switching between zanpakuto powers that is within both its and Jenna's memory. The con of it was the requirement that she has to deactivate the current powers before choosing another one, leaving her with a gap of vulnerability.

Bankai Release: "Monkey see, Monkey do. Bankai, Monki-Sabaku!"

Bankai Description: When called forth, its true appearance was a bo-staff that resembles the likeliness of Son-Goku's extendable bo-staff in Saiyuki, The Journey to the West. Ironically, Jenna literally has to say, "Monkey see, Monkey do" before the actual phrase to summon Bankai instead of the more traditional manner.

Bankai Abilities: Since her shikai is based on using learned zanpakuto powers, but in her Bankai, mirrors and zanpakutos appears around her and her enemy and those who are caught in it. When in the custom barrier that entraps anyone who wandered into the mirror, Jenna's and her zanpakuto's learning speed nearly tripled as the bankai readjusts her entire body to outfit the style of her enemy or enemies, therefore she is capable of using their powers against them, no matter what race they are. The only downside is her powers being restricted to the current stages of her enemies. By appearance, she can make herself look more like an arrancar or more like a demon or a Sugiura or even an Iramasha, but it will be obvious that she is not the other as it is impossible for her to make herself into an exact copy of her opponent.

(Further down is primarily experimental, so if not acceptable, the character will not have the ones below)

Botsukai/Joukai

Botsukai (Rising Release) and Joukai (True Release) are two of the same stage, but are considered more than Bankai. The reason it was never seen before is because it is reserved for those who transcended their lifespan by being over five thousand years old. Only the Shinigami have that ability like Resurreccion was given to the Visored/Vizards. Due to their power, it is very difficult for even the commanding captain to maintain both, so they are separated to Botsukai for defense and submission and Joukai for offense and execution. The Sogyoku was an execution device made with the power of over a thousand zanpakutos; in truth, it is a zanpakuto in its Joukai form, thus explained why Ichigo is capable of destroying it as Joukai sacrificed defense for offense. Botsukai was vice-versa, so if the Sogyoku was a Botsukai Zanpakuto, both Ichigo and Rukia would be decimated by its sheer mass alone. As said before, having them together is presumably fatal to the user as it will take an extreme amount of spiritual power to maintain it, so they are split and became Joukai and Botsukai.

The usual appearance of Botsukai and Joukai is clearly unknown, but with the Sogyoku as an example, it demonstrated that they are usually bigger than life due to lack of proper control usually found in Shikai. Generally, all of the Soul Society has never seen a Joukai in action other than the Sogyoku and absolutely never seen a Botsukai in action before. If there are those who knew, they preferred to keep them a secret because either way, both Joukai and Botsukai are more dangerous than anyone could imagine.

Botsukai Release: "Harden your fears and curse out the truth. Botsukai, Monki-Sabaku Bikutori-Tenraku!"

Joukai Release: "Reveal your fangs and curse out the light. Joukai, Monki-Sabaku Bikutori-Tenraku!"

Botsukai Appearance: When called for a 40ft eye appeared floating above Jenna. When summoned, the zanpakuto remains absent from Jenna's possession as a flash of light cloaked their disappearance. During that time, the eye will scan at virtually anyone in its sight, learning about their abilities and recalculate for a more suitable form against them. However, like its shikai and bankai, it is restricted to what it can see and learn from Jenna's memories. After Jenna spoken the incantation, the eye will reform to the suitable form called, "Effigy."

Botsukai Abilities: It is called "Effigy" as it transformed into a 75ft metallic figure of a person who originally owns the copied abilities. Example: If Monki was using Senbonzakura, its effigy form was a 75ft Byakuya Kuchiki. Due to its size, its version of the abilities was enhanced greatly compared to the original. Not only the Effigy can replicate the abilities, it can act as Jenna's shield as it is able to recreate magical abilities that is natural for its target's kind. The only limit is its inability to replicate a signature ability like Kin's Burning Star.

I N C A N T A T I O N : "Manifest before us all. Become their memory as their nearing demise is inevitable. May the eternal fate pay them with mercy."

Joukai Appearance: The zanpakuto in Jenna's hands disappeared before it takes a new form. Its starting form was exactly like the infamous Sogyoku as it appeared behind Jenna in its fearful splendor. However, its true ability was to split and transform into a group of spirits. But for it to work, Jenna has to make an incantation.

Joukai Abilities: "Spiritual Legion" is the ability that allowed Monki to replicate not only one spirit, but a group of spirits suitable against its opposition. Primarily, the Joukai can only learn from races who have spirits within them like Sugiura, Shinigami, Visored/Vizards and Ziamichi. As for the other races, it is unable to replicate them and use them against them. It can also use spirits that Jenna was familiar with.

I N C A N T A T I O N : "Bring forth the wrath of our allies. We are their allies calling out. May the eternal fate pay them with peace."
