P E R S O N A L I T Y

Personality: As a lieutenant, Rangiku was mostly lazy and the kind of person who loathes doing paperwork, which is a sharp contrast to her serious Captain Hitsugaya. While she is manipulative, she is quite casual and non-modest about herself while she likes drinking with Shunsui Kyoraku and Shuhei Hisagi. She shows deep loyalty to Captain Hitsugaya as she frequently would be by his side. Despite her vanity, she is quite aware of other people’s feelings as it comes with being a manipulator. However, she shows her compassion by concerning those who she is close to like Momo Hinamori, Izuru Kira, Captain Hitsugaya and Orihime Inoue.

In combat, her casual personality dwindles and replaces itself with a serious personality. When needed, she is a capable fighter with an expertise in strategy. As a manipulator, she can goad, tease and compliment her opponents into dropping their guards for her to attack. She is also quick to set priorities so she does not end up making ulterior mistakes like leaving Orihime Inoue exposed so she can help her more capable Captain Hitsugaya. When using Haineko, she display her advanced use of it when normally, that type of Zanpakutō would be difficult to use.

After the four hundred years passing, Rangiku is still her usual self, but she used to be concerned because Orihime was missing and Captain Hitsugaya was having more fits than usual. But when she finds Orihime in the Seireitei, she was glad to learn that General Water allows Orihime to join the Thirteenth Division, Captain Kurosaki’s division. As for Captain Hitsugaya, she still can approach him as the way she is, despite the outbursts. The events before somehow never faze her habits of drinking and tricking the boys to paying for her drinks and spontaneous purchasing of clothes along with enjoying the food made by Orihime Inoue. One thing the changed her was her habit of being late for lieutenant meetings because General Water...scares her to be honest whenever she gets serious during the time that General Water reminded her of her position and scorned her for not attending the 2410’s annual lieutenant critical meeting.

B A C K G R O U N D

History/Background: As a child, Rangiku was one of the unlucky who are suffering from poverty and starvation due to inability to find food or pay for them. However, she was saved by a boy who is named, Gin Ichimaru and from there, her birthday became the day that they met. While growing up together, Gin left Rangiku on her own without telling her a thing and the only thing he told her was him joining the Shinigami so she will not have to cry. Soon after, she joined the Shino Academy and progressed through her six years. Years later, she became a lieutenant of the Tenth Division before she found Toshiro Hitsugaya in the Rukongai. Despite the awkward meeting, Toshiro became Captain Hitsugaya and Rangiku became very loyal of him.

When Rukia was scheduled for execution and the Ryokas infiltrated the Seireitei, Rangiku was just arriving to the meeting that was supposed to be for informing the other lieutenants about what happened. When Rangiku and the others heard Momo Hinamori’s scream, she and the other arrived to see Sosuke Aizen killed with his own sword. When Captain Hitsugaya orders the arrest of Izuru Kira and Momo Hinamori, Rangiku was the one who restrained Momo Hinamori. She stood up against Gin Ichimaru, saved Momo Hinamori (again) and defeated Izuru Kira after she and Hitsugaya learned that the Central 46 are killed in a very elaborate way. After further discovery thanks to Isane Kotetsu, Rangiku ran to tend to the wounded Hitsugaya under Captain Unohana’s and Kotetsu’s care. When she arrived to the Sokyoku Hill, she attempted to arrest Gin which is successful before the Negacion intervened. With Gin escaping with Aizen and Tosen, Rangiku and Izuru felt betrayed for different reasons which allowed the two to forgive each other.

After the reports of the first attack of the Arrancar came in, Rangiku along with Ikkaku, Yumichika, Renji and Rukia are sent with Captain Hitsugaya to Karakura Town to temporarily enforce the security of the town. Although she was having a rough start with Keigo and Kon being mesmerized by her breasts, she and the others came to Ichigo to stay at his place like a headquarter. However, they find themselves kicked out, so Rangiku and Captain went to Orihime’s place to stay while Ikkaku and Yumichika are reported to be staying at Keigo’s place. During their stay, sixth Espada, Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez and his fraccions arrived to take revenge upon the ones who killed three Arrancar earlier. While Orihime are in safety, she and the others went off to fight off the Fraccions while Grimmjow was not presently fighting. She faces off with a Gillian class arrancar named, Nakeem Grindina and falsified her defeat so she can call for a limit release, due to the fact that Captain Hitsugaya and Renji are not doing so well against the other fraccions. When she challenged Nakeem again, her limit was removed and she quickly defeated him while Captain Hitsugaya and Renji made short work of the other two. As for the other two fraccions facing off Ikkaku and Rukia, they are defeated before the limits were released. After the fight and Grimmjow’s retreat, Rangiku finds Captain Hitsugaya heavily wounded and called in Orihime to heal him.

Days later, she was training for bankai so she can be more effective against the Arrancar until the arrival of Luppi Antenor, Yammy and Wonderweiss Margela. She originally was going to face off against Wonderweiss, but she changed target when Luppi insisted in a four against one battle against his Resurrección. She was attacked by the tentacles and soon was ensnared by one of Luppi’s eight tentacles. When Luppi proclaimed his intention to kill Rangiku, Kisuke Urahara intervened by cutting Luppi’s tentacle off. After the save, Rangiku recognizes that Hitsugaya will need time to freeze Luppi’s tentacles, so she lets her guard down to trick Luppi to go after her again. She was again captured by Luppi and she spoke her peace before she points out that they have won. Luppi retreated along with the others. Later on, Rangiku learns that Orihime followed the Arrancar into Hueco Mundo and was ordered to regroup into the Seireitei for preparations.

After preparations, Rangiku joined with Captain Hitsugaya and the other high ranked captains and lieutenants to Fake Karakura Town, where they will be led by General Yamamoto. When the invasion force led by Sosuke Aizen arrived, she and the others are waiting for them. Initially, she waited by Hitsugaya’s side as four Fraccions went after the pillars. After these Fraccions are defeated, the real battle started as she and Captain Hitsugaya faced off against Third Espada Tier Halibel and her three Fraccions; Apacci, Mila Rose and Sung-Sun. At the start of that battle, Rangiku was on her own when fighting Apacci, Mila and Sung-Sun. But later on, Momo Hinamori joined Rangiku and forced the three Fraccions into their Resurrección form. Shortly after, the Fraccions summoned Ayon, which mortally wounded Rangiku and incapacitated Momo in a matter of seconds. Rangiku was stabilized by Izuru Kira while unknowingly was saved by General Yamamoto.

When she regained her consciousness, she found herself back in the Soul Society for serious medical attention and from there, she remains absent during the fight against Aizen. Centuries after Aizen’s defeat, Rangiku continued with her life, never knowing what happened to Gin and assumed Gin was dead as well. She trained to get stronger and attained bankai through her training with Hitsugaya, Izuru Kira and Shuhei Hisagi. Although she reached her requirements for Captaincy, she chose to stay with Captain Hitsugaya as his lieutenant...which is unfortunate for him and a relief to others. Who can imagine Rangiku being a Captain anyway?

Zanpakutô Spirit Name: Haineko
Appearance:
Rangiku Matsumoto [APPROVED, 1-2] HainekoFull

Rangiku Matsumoto [APPROVED, 1-2] HainekoFull

Inner World: Unknown

Sealed Zanpakutô Apperance : Haineko takes the appearance of a straight-edged katana with the tsuba shaped like a cat’s head with the chin facing forward. The handle was deep red while her sheath is tied to her left side by an obi (sash.)

Sealed Zanpakutô Abilities: Unknown

PhatomTech: None

Release: “Growl, Haineko!”

Shikai Description: It disperses its blade into ash-like micro-blades that behaves like Byakuya’s Senbonzakura, but due to their size, the blades will not do damage on their own unless they are clumped together while in contact with the target’s surfaces. Whenever Rangiku flicks the remaining hilt, the blades will jolt, causing lacerations upon the target they are stuck with and the micro-blades can move around upon Rangiku’s will of mind and movements. Its only variation of the technique was when Rangiku manipulates the micro-blades into a tornado. Before, it has a fixed area distances and blade sizes, but as Rangiku masters it, she can choose to sacrifice damage for more area coverage by making the micro-blades smaller or sacrifice area coverage by increasing the micro-blades’ general sizes. Due to Rangiku’s proficient use of the Zanpakutō’s shikai, she can use it for more than entrapping the targets in a cloud of blades as she can use it as an alternative smoke screen to escape and to use them as an effective shield that can cut down the damage magnitude of a Cero equal to her zanjutsu skill down to half.

Shikai Abilities: See Shikai Description.

Bankai Release: “Bankai! Haineko!”

Bankai Description: The shikai intensifies greatly in area coverage as it creates a mist of micro-blades. Inside of it, every images within it are heavily distorted to prevent her foes from telling where she is coming from or where she is while the micro-blades treats the foes like magnets using Rangiku’s mental will to control all the micro-blades. When there are enough on the surface of the enemy, she flicks her hilt and causes a chop-saw effect when the micro-blades will cut down deep into the surface, causing serious to critical wounds. As a side effect, the mist itself was dense enough that projectile attacks are rendered useless within the mist and any explosive attacks will just set off the moment they are fired, causing it to explode and injure the attacker. As for Rangiku, she can see the enemies quite clearly by pinpointing her Kidō into certain areas of the mist and turn the micro-blades into viewing glasses. Anyone (except for Rangiku) who was caught in the mist will end up only causing more damage to them if they try to escape from within the mist due to chances of catching some or many of the micro-blades during the escape. Like her Shikai, she can manipulate the micro-blades to do something else rather than being a large mist, but it will be harder for her to control from there.

Bankai Abilities: See Bankai Description

Roleplay Sample: Like a start of a bad joke, Rangiku walks into a pub where she receives greeting from her drinking buddies, Shuhei and Shunsui; what are the odds of finding two people with “Shu” on the front and an “I” on the end? While Shunsui would be paying the tab, he and Rangiku and Shuhei are drinking while telling stories of their days. Shuhei spoke about an accident that cut some random rookie’s afro off flat while Shunsui spoke about jokes exchanged between him and other veterans like Jushiro. Rangiku sips her drink while telling stories of her trips. After her many drinks, Rangiku stumbles back to the tenth division barrack, drunk and silly.

The next morning, Rangiku was waking up on one of the couches in Toshiro’s office with a bad headache from a bad hangover. Lazily, she refuses to move, despite the daily lieutenant meeting is in a few hours. When she hears footsteps, she believes it was Captain Hitsugaya coming to scorn her yet again, but this time it was Orihime Inoue who comes. That is a change that Rangiku does not expect as she groggily rises from the couch with her eyes wide opened. “Ino-chan! H-How you get in the Seireitei? Why are you dressed like a lieutenant?”

To Rangiku, that was a big mystery. “Hey, Rangiku. Shadin helped me get here while General Water allowed me to become a lieutenant due to my good services in the past.” Orihime replies to Rangiku. Rangiku blinks twice and puts two and two together while having a nasty migraines from the hangover. “So that means you’ll be attending the meeting as well?” Rangiku asks. “Uhh...Yes?” Orihime innocently answers. “Can you go in my stead instead and come back with a re-” Rangiku requests before a loud shout from Captain Hitsugaya, “MATSUMOTO!!” which makes her jump up and fall off the couch with a thump!

Taking Rangiku back into my disposition for events later on.

RP SAMPLE

Rangiku Matsumoto, a member of the tenth division responsible for Earth based operations like the time when the Arrancar first came to the scene in the year two-thousand. Although with the things going down on Earth and how the Vanguards, Yayjuu and Vizard Corporation are holding up, Rangiku can resume to her daily routines of laying on the couch, reading magazines, drinking and caring for her appearance. Now she is closing in on mastering her bankai, she can be ready for another time when someone just as bad as Souske Aizen comes to mess with the natures of the worlds.

For now, she lays on the couch, using the nail filer to give herself a manicure while her captain is away. A division member walks in with a broom in hand. Oh right, it is cleaning day of the week, but would Rangiku care? Only be a little bit because her captain will get real angry with her laziness. It would be a surprise that the poor captain would keep Rangiku when she is this lazy, but the secret is that when called for, she can be the only person you can rely on in a life-or-death situation. "Lieutenant Matsumoto! We have to clean as Captain Hitsugaya ordered! Your name is mentioned as well!" The member speaks uptight to Rangiku, much to her nearly absent irritation that her relaxation is disturbed. "So?" Rangiku frankly responds to the member, causing the member to become more tensed than before. He thinks that upsetting a captain would be a bad thing, but to Rangiku, she considers herself a special case because she and her captain go back while she was a recruit and the captain was just a kid. Well, he is still a kid, but it does not stop him from acting like a matured adult where Rangiku seems to be his opposite in a way. "The captain will be furious!" The member warns.

"You worry about your cleaning, I'll worry about the captain. Say...how about you do it for me?" Rangiku bargains with the member and gives him a wink as a charm. The member obviously flusters and quickly bows with acceptance. In the matter of seconds, Rangiku is cracking the whip as the poor member is rushing to get the captain's office clean. "A little bit faster and you missed a spot." Rangiku notes the member as the member shouts, "Hai!" and continues cleaning with motivation.
