Name: Harikeen Matsuri
Titles: Hari (Short for her given name)
Gender: Female
Appearance Age: 21
Age: 130
Affiliation/Rank: Gotei 13, Squad 2, 5th Seat
Appearance Description: Hari stands at about 5'2" when standing fulling erect. Her hair is long and straight with a few curls going down to her upper back, and is a very dark dirty blonde, almost being brown. Her eyes sometimes appear to be two different colors, one being brown and the other being hazel, but most of the time, both eyes appear brown. She has a petite and athletic figure, but fills out her outfits well. She wears the usual shinigami kimono with a rather open and revealing chest being very low-cut. She wears a dark hood over her head at times as well. She wears plain cloth wrapping around her neck and her arms up just past the elbows, as well as on her feet from just above her ankles to her toes, even though she usually wears her sandals as well. Finally, she wears a black and red pendant that slightly resembles a black widow spider with a bright red gem in the middle of it.

_________________________________
Personality: Hari is analytical, cunning, and manipulative. When it comes to conversation, she tends to speak intelligently, and doesn't often hide behind falsehoods to spare people's feelings. She is quite blunt, as she deals with logic and information strictly. When it comes to personal life, she is rather secretive, although will occasionally allow someone to really get to know her. She shows little interest in events that she deems "trivial" and is likely to state that she deems it unimportant. She does, however, have a softer side, particularly towards the few people that she can really open up to. She is also very fond of sarcasm, and will often wear a false smile, and when mixed with the correct expression, can be far more frightening than a glare.
She is loyal to a fault at times, and would never betray her friends, family, or organization no matter the cost. Even though she seems incredibly strict and serious most of the time, when someone really gets to know her they will find that when she is at ease she becomes kind, polite, and sometimes even the joking type. At first glance one would think she was cruel and callous when it comes to everyone, but it is more so a front of the job than anything else. She desires perfection in herself and greatness in those around her. She often scolds herself when she fails at something, but it drives her to just try harder and do better.
Hari is also quite fond of her appearance, and uses her figure to her advantage. She had a tendency to be flirtatious, especially towards men who seem easy to manipulate. While she believes in honor, she has no quarrels with using deciet to get what she wants and needs. She sometimes acts in a voluptious manner, even if only to amuse herself. She would readily admit that she is a woman with needs and as such is a victim to her emotions as much as the next shinigami. However, she strives to control and use her emotions to her advantage as much as possible.

_________________________________
History: Harikeen was bourn in the Runkongai District in the Soul Society. She was born into a lesser known noble family. She was taught from a young age to be aware of the politics of the world, as well as to train her body to do whatever tasks that may have come her way. She was one of the fortunate ones that was born with an abnormally high spiritual power, and as such was sent to the Shinigami Academy. During most of her time at the academy, she was considered a bit of a loner, only having made friends with a few of her classmates. However, the friends she did make were the best of friends, and as such, were considered to be very trustworthy.
After a few years in the academy, she managed to learn where she excelled, and of course, where she did not. She excelled in hakuda and hoho, did fairly well in zanjutsu, but did poorly in Kidō. While she showed a few signs of being a good leader, she functioned more efficiently as a follower. She was able to follow orders very well, remember specific details about orders, and never showed even a single sign of disloyalty. Because of her aptitude for loyalty and following orders, she was considered a great pupil, but an annoying classmate and peer.
After finishing her time at the academy, she was accepted into squad 2, with a goal of getting into the omnitsukido eventually. She attempted to model herself after her idols Soi Fon and Yoruichi Shihoin, of course, this proved a most difficult task. She never seemed to be able to meet the expectations of herself, let alone the greatness of her idols. However, she continued to try her hardest to strengthen herself and impress those whom she admired most. She was always pursuing a chance to impress her idols and make them proud, hoping that she could eventually work alongside her captain Soi Fon. Regardless of the outcome, she continued to do everything she could to make them proud.
Not long after making her way into the 2nd squad of the Gotei 13, one of her friends was killed in action during a routine hollow patrol. She was of course distraught, but instead of becoming depressed and clamming up into a dense shell of sorrow, she used it as a motivation to strengthen herself further, and simply began to hide her emotions all the more from the others. There were only three instances when her true personality would really present itself. 1. When around Soi Fon (or Yoruichi) 2. When around the few people she trusted with her life. and 3. When she was trying to manipulate men, in which case it was an overabundance of her true personality with a large amount of B.S. involved as well.
After a long while being in Squad 2, she was finally granted a seated position in the squad. Of course, she was only the 5th seat, but it was still an achievement to her, one that put her well on her way to achieving a few of her lifelong goals. Of course, she had to have some pride her her accomplishment, as she was still yet to receive even her shikai. She managed to get where she was with the sheer strength of her will and the skills she possessed. While her superiors were a little proud and at times, she could almost swear impressed, her peers despised it. Some claimed she received special treatment, but she knew that wasn't really the case. She would simply have to continue to strive to better herself, and prove herself to those around her.

Reiatsu Color: Dark red with mixes of black in.
Zanpakutô Spirit Name: Hannorikumonoko
Zanpakutô Spirit Appearance: Hannorikumonoko has the appearance of a cloaked woman with chained hands and feet, and six additional cuffs hanging beside her (three on each side) The cloaked figure is often depicted hunched over or simply with her head down, as if she is weeping, and speaks in a quiet sorrowful whisper. Hannorikumonoko has dark black eyes and a slender body type with a dark caramel skin tone. Her hair is long, thin, and midnight black, going down to her lower back (even though it's mostly hidden by her cloak). Under the cloak she is dressed in a thin almost transparent black kimono that fits tightly over her rather voluptuous body. This kimono has a large red hourglass design on the back of it.
Inner World: Very dark with various pillars and candles scattered around, giving it the appearance of a very old and long abandoned temple. However, there is no ceiling, and the sky almost seems to go on forever in a pitch black hue. Various chain links are scattered throughout as well with several shackles attached to some of the pillars as if they were designed to hold a prisoner. Massive cobwebs are scattered among the pillars and walls. Several large holes in the walls appearing to lead into deep and dark tunnels are covered with perfectly designed spider webs that somehow shine in the candlelight.
Sealed Zanpakutô Apperance: Plain black sheathe with a straight single edged blade. Plain katana with a black and red hilt. The blade itself is about 2 feet long with a 1 foot long tsuka.
Sealed Zanpakutô Abilities: While drawn, Hannorikumonoko has the ability to generate and produce a tough spider-silk thread that can be used to ensnare foes and weapons. This thread is strong, but can be broken with effort, and is mostly only useful to temporarily stop an opponent or pull them for an attack or to get closer. This thread can be partially manipulated, allowing her to generate it and ensnare targets. Secondly, Hannorikumonoko also gives Harikeen the ability to communicate with various species of spiders, enabling her to obtain information and in some cases, even receive aid.

Roleplay Sample: Hari was training in the privacy of her home, striking dummy hollows of various sizes and statures. Unfortunately, hollows came in so many different sizes and shapes, it wouldn't make sense to train against a humanoid dummy. She leaped up, turning her body upside down as she reached the ceiling. She planted her feet on the ceiling, propelling herself down towards one of the dummy hollows. She pivoted again, bringing her left heel down in an axe kick, demolishing the dummy with ease. Upon landing on her feet she inspected the carnage, a slight look of irritation crossing her face. The dummy was almost completely destroyed from the force of her strike, but the legs of it were still standing. She grumbled to herself as she picked up the remains and threw them in a bin full of random scraps of former dummies. She turned to another dummy hollow, looking up to gaze into it's lifeless eyes threw the cheap hollow mask replica on its head.
The creature stood about 8 feet tall, though it was hunched over to fit into the room with only a 10 foot ceiling. It was a rather humanoid hollow with a large serpentine tail, and the claws were about 6 inches long. She could remember being told about a hollow of this description, one that hadn't been defeated before. Of course, there was only two records of a hollow of this type being seen. It was said to be able to produce acidic saliva, as well as a series of large spines that sprouted from its arms that could be used as projectiles. This hollow was said to be very dangerous both up close and from afar. She clenched her teeth at the memory of her fallen friend, who was said to have been killed by a hollow of this description. She had made several dummies of this type, but destroying them never satisfied her. Because for one, they couldn't fight back, and far more importantly, there was a good chance that the real thing was still out there somewhere.
Her fists clenched as she jumped up to be at eye level with the hollow. she threw her knee up, driving it into the jaw of the hollow, causing the dummy to fall back towards the wall. As it hit the wall and cracked it (for the umpteenth time) she dropped back to the floor. She paused, looking at the motionless creature as it was back against the wall. She tried to take in the key details of the situation as much as she could. From this point, the creature's tail could easily lash out at her to prevent her from attacking again. Or, it could simply lash out with its arms or worse. Because of the serpentine lower body, it could maneuver in many ways that she couldn't, and it was said to move very quickly. There would be a chance that she wouldn't even be able to get up close to it. If it had survived this long, it was likely rather intelligent and skillful.
Realizing she had taken too long to consider what it would do, she decided to just finish this dummy off. She jumped up and landed on the chest of the hollow. She gazed down into the empty eye sockets of the dummy. She could only imagine actually winding up in a position like this. It was highly unlikely that she would ever have a chance to, especially since it would take more than a single strike to wound it enough for her to do this. Nonetheless, she let the fictional moment sink in, imagining what it would be like to actually be able to do this to her true foe. She raised her right foot up a couple feet, driving her foot down into the face of the dummy, crushing it's head with ease. As usually, there was no satisfaction in it. She leaped back, landing gracefully on her feet again. What would she do now? She had to continue to hope that she could someday find this hollow, and that she could someday destroy it in revenge for her friend. With a heavy sigh, she threw the remains into the bin before walking back into the main room of her home. She would need to check in at the squad station soon. She closed her eyes, remembering the face of her fallen friend.
