Personality:

Outgoing/Cheerful: Kaminari is one to easily get along with others. She usually keeps a nice smile on her face to make those feel comfortable around her, especially if she just met them. She's rather energetic at times and can easily adapt to certain peoples personalities to get along with them better.

Kind-Hearted/Loving: Kaminari has a very kind heart. She loves to give and help people out. Her generous nature can sometimes put her into danger, but at the same time it helps her make a lot of new friends. If someones needs help or asks for something, she'll do her best to get it for them. She also had a slight weakness for kids and is very sympathetic towards others. She is very affectionate and has no problem hugging someone if she wants to, except at times of business or where she must be more professional.

Understanding: Due to her own difficult path, she is able to easily understand the feelings and emotions that people feel and a lot of the time she can relate to them. When someones tells her a story, whether happy or sad, she is easily able to nod and tell them truthfully that she understands what they are talking about and how they must have felt at a time or even right then. She can look at the way someone is acting or the look on their face and almost immediately understand what they are going through.

Trusting: She doesn't ever call someone an immediate enemy. She prefers to consider them good, before calling them evil. They have to give her a reason to look at her negatively. Even though she is trusting, she isn't stupid. She knows certain people are bad by the way they act. Some things are just common sense...

Curious: She loves learning new things. She'll read a book, observe, or ask lots of questions to find out about something she didn't understand. To get to know people, she'll definitely ask about their pasts, interests, likes, and dislikes and the result would hopefully be a new friend.

Extremely Naive/Innocent: Yes, she's not the youngest person around, but there are still a lot of things in life that she doesn't understand because she's never seen or heard of it, or some how has a mental contradiction so she doesn't get it. She doesn't understand things like sexual references, jokes or topics and same goes for drugs, alcohol, and certain types of slang. Examples: Sexy, hot, whore, bitch, etc. If certain words are said in a certain tone, mainly angry or insulting, she'll get she's being looked down upon, but the actual meanings of the words she is oblivious to.

Shy: Very rarely does she show this part of her, but like almost every girl out there she still has a cute little shy bone in her body. Showing skin is one of the main triggers, along with someone calling her beautiful or pretty. She'll usually just blush and look away when she begins to feel shy, but there will be times that she does her best to hide it.


Likes: Kaminari loves the idea of getting stronger to protect those she cares for, so training is something at the top of her list. On her down time, when she is able to relax, she likes to enjoy a cup of tea. She likes the sound of calm waters and the feel of a cool breeze on her skin and through her hair. She enjoys the smell of flowers and the sight of happy children playing with one another.

Dislikes: Kaminari hates anyone who would so easily hurt a child. She doesn't like people who are really loud for no reason, and can't stand people who are always drunk. She hates the smell and taste of alcohol, and can't understand why anyone would want to smoke. She also doesn't like being pushed around or treated like a child. She knows because of her size that this happens a lot, but it truly irritates her. She also doesn't like the 11th Division within Gotei 13. They sort of scare her with their constant love for fighting and battle.

History:

Life On Earth (August 15, 2072 - August 15 2090): Kaminari was born in Tokyo, but the day she was born, her parents dropped her off at a church because they could not take care of her. She grew up there, alone and without friends for seven years. At the age of seven, she was adopted by what seemed to be a nice couple, but once she got to their home, she realized the only thing they really wanted was a slave to do their work while they partied and drank all the time. The didn't even allow her to go to a normal school and sent her to an all girls private academy so she wouldn't get any ideas of running off with some guy. For years they mentally and physically tortured her by calling her weak, useless, or a waste of space, and by throwing things at her, tossing her down stairs, throwing her against walls in their drunken rages.

Finally her eighteenth birthday was around the corner and she was going to be able to leave. It was the day she dreamed about. Her adopted parents knew what was going to happen the moment she was able to leave them. Their little servant would be gone, and they wouldn't be able to do anything about it. They couldn't let this happen, so on the day of her birthday, they tried to stop her, but she fought back. She had already had everything packed and was going to stay with a friend from High School. She fought as hard as she could, but a small, but heavy marble statue to the back of her head sent her tumbling down the stairs to her death. The next thing she knew a man in a black kimono showed up and pressed the hilt of his blade against her forehead, allowing her to pass through to something called "The Soul Society".

Life In The Soul Society: Years passed in this place and time had seemed to stop for her. She did not age like she used to. She was taught by some people about Spiritual Pressure, the Seireitei, and Soul Reapers. She was told that she must have a decent amount of spiritual pressure since she was able to get hungry. After a few years, something strange began happening to her. At first she didn't realized what it was, but people she was around kept getting headaches and falling ill. One day while out in the forest, she was with a friend of hers named Lira. At first they were having fun, but a Hollow showed up and attacked them. It grabbed Lira and in a panic she screamed out for her. Both the Hollow and Lira seemed to be in pain. "What's wrong!?" she yelled out again, but Lira's eyes rolled to the back of her head and blood fell from them. "Let her go!" She screamed even louder, and that was it. The Hollow fell right there, and soon it disintegrated. She ran to Lira to see if she was okay, but was shocked and angered when she realized her friend was dead.

She returned to the village with Lira's body, crying at the loss of her friend. When someone asked what happened, she tried to explain, but once again they were in pain. She asked what's wrong, and they fell to the ground lifeless. She realized at that moment what had happened. She dropped to her knees and held her throat tightly. "Why?" she thought to herself and cried even more, but this began to cause the people around her pain. She looked up and shook her head in horror. The guilt overwhelmed her. Her friend was dead. An innocent man had been killed all because she continued to speak? This was horrible. It took some time, but she did her best to stop talking. For a while, she wore a mask over her mouth to remind her to keep herself quiet.

One day the village she was living in was attacked by a large amount of Hollows. She ran as fast as she could, doing her best to stay alive and not get eaten. Since she had some spiritual pressure, she was targeted. Right before the Hollow was able to kill her, it was sliced in half by a Zanpakutō. "You're okay now." a kind voice whispered as she was helped back to her feet. She looked up to see a man with a straw hat and pink kimono draped over his shoulders. At first she stared in awe up at him, but he soon lifted her from the ground and placed her behind him. "Now, why don't you stay back here and they'll handle this?" He tapped the top of her head, treating her like a child. She narrowed her eyes in a glare at him, but all he did was laugh. Although she was rather short, she knew that he was able to tell her age, or at least guess it.

She watched the scene before her with a sincere curiosity. The way they fought was not only exciting, but well organized and team oriented. A small smile perked up on her lips. She had never seen the Shinigami in action before, but she was really liking it. When they left, she was upset because she didn't have a chance to ask that man about what it was like to be a Shinigami. She never even got his name, but she would definitely remember the straw hat and the strange way he decided to dress. Soon, she too found her way to the Seireitei, doing her best to get into Shino Academy to hopefully one day become a Shinigami as well.

Reiatsu Color: Dark Pink

Zanpakutô Spirit Name: Shiroka Hanayaku

Zanpakutô Spirit Appearance:



Standing much taller than Kaminari herself, at a nice five foot eleven, Shiroka has extremely long, straight white hair, glowing green eyes and wears a pink kimono. She is also very fit and has a nice figure. She usually carries a flower with her, whether in her delicate hands or laying within the silky locks of her hair, she always has it with her. She wears a light blue ribbon on the right side of her head, complimented rather darkly with a miniature skull made of steel.

Inner World:



Shiroka's inner world is rather dark, colored with reds, pinks, and black. It's a large valley with only dirt beneath the feet. It seems like a graveyard since crosses and multiple stones lay everywhere, but there are no bodies to be found, under or above ground. The sky is a dark pink as well, no stars being seen anywhere. A small lake, too dark to see the bottom, stands directly in the middle.

Sealed Zanpakutô Apperance :



Shiroka Hanayaku, when sealed, looks no different than the average katana. It has a dark pink hilt, a square guard, and a pitch black sheath that Kaminari keeps as clean and polished as she can. She has a strap that comes down diagonally across her chest to hold Shiroka up on her back, hilt leaning to the right.

Unique Ability: Kaminari's vocal ability has sort of advanced lately. With her joining Squad One, constant training, gaining her Shikai, and increasing her speed, not to mention her finally moving on from that horrible day that used to haunt her, she has learned to gain a certain amount of control. Since she is getting stronger, her ability has as well. The way it works and it's results when used are still the same, but with her new found control she does not have to be afraid of speaking to friends. She still must be in a calm state, but emotions like happiness, love, and a small amount of excitement are no longer going to make her lose control.

When this ability is used, the spiritual pressure she has compressed in her throat (voice box) is sent out through the sound she makes when she whispers, speaks, screams, or even whimpers or moans. The spiritual pressure travels with the sound and into the ears of those who can hear it. The sound then disrupts the victims spiritual pressure and can have different effects depending on the person and their abilities.

Whimpers/Moans Are All Same As Whispers
Shrieks/Shouts Are All Same As Screams
Whining Is The Same As Speaking
Crying Can Be Categorized Under ALL depending on the situation.

Since Kaminari has recently gained some control, she doesn't have to worry very much about hurting someone she cares about. It CAN still happen if she isn't focused and calm, but ever since she got her Shikai, her spiritual pressure calmed and she is able to speak normally.

Note: This ability of hers does not effect those who are already unconscious, HOWEVER, if the person is unconscious BECAUSE of this ability, it WILL still effect them if she continues to use it.

Release: Invade The Air Shiroka, Hanayaku

Shikai Description: Her Shikai is a duel wield, one being shorter than the other. She first draws the shorter one with her right hand. It comes out of the sheath transparent, only physical to her hand. The moment it has completely left the sheath, it is normal. The second one (longer) is still in the sheath, and is drawn normally as well, after she tosses the first to her left hand. The two look the exact same as when sealed.

Shikai Abilities: When she says "Invade The Air Shiroka", she is speaking to the shorter blade. It turns into 200 flowers that fly through the air and explode when she wishes them to. Although very effective, it is dangerous for her as well since she is not immune to the blast or the fire. Her orchids are made up of her spiritual pressure and have the ability to harden or soften themselves to get where they need to be. Once having detonated, they CAN reform instantly, but they reform near her body, not where she wants them to, so she can't just detonate them on someone over and over again.

When she says "Invade The Air Hanayaku", it is towards the longer blade. It seems to disintegrate before your eyes, but in all actuality, a pollen is spreading rapidly through the air. Taking in one breath can be dangerous. Once inhaled or it gets into a cut, the poison enters the blood of the victim. He or she is infected and within a few minutes the person will be temporarily paralyzed. Kaminari IS immune to her own poison and has the ability to choose whether or not it effects someone at all. Note that she can't use both abilities at the same time, so once the second is called out, the other turns back into her blade.

Note: When the poison and flowers are being moved around at her own will, they can reach up to 75 ft from her body, but if she uses them to surround her to create an area that her opponent can't get to, it'll be 25 feet in each direction from her body.

(Temporarily paralyzed means it continues until she brings the poison back into her blade or seals her shikai, otherwise it continues. It does not effect them once the blade/shikai is sealed. She can activate and deactivate it twice, THEN the poison is used up and no longer effective. The only thing in the body that will not be paralyzed is the eyes and mouth, allowing them to continue to speak. ONCE ACTIVATED The poison lasts for 1.5 rounds, 3 posts [activation post doesn't count, so AFTER activated it would go them, her, gone half way through on this post]. It takes one post for the persons body to have it through their entire blood stream.)

Poison Explanation For Shikai: The pollen is brought in through breathing or through a cut/wound on the victim. Once activated, it works it's way through the blood system and into the muscles of the persons body. It hardens them, making it where the muscles can not stretch/contract, and prevents the person from being able to move.

Bankai Description: She holds her Zanpakutō's out to the side. Once releasing her bankai, the two light up and in this bright light seem to fall into a powder or sand. Within seconds, behind her a large orchid forms.

Bankai Abilities: Pollen from this newly formed orchid will immediately pour into the air, while the the petals of this orchid 'shatter'. Now in thousands of little pieces, Kaminari can use her hands to control the path of the petals and with the slight flick of her finger or closing of a hand, she can have them explode with the force and power that she chooses. She can choose to have them surrounded, chased, or encased in these pieces of petals and once they explode will hopefully damage or even cause the death of her opponent.

The pollen in the air has a more fatal effect than in her Shikai, depending on the color she decides to put out. With the color red, of course the pollen now only seen by her, it won't just paralyze it's victim, but soon their entire body will shut down and they will die. (One Post to Paralyze, Seven Posts AFTER For Death. 8 Posts Total) The poison is only activated if she actually wants it to be. It isn't automatic. With the color blue, once it is in the person system, it slowly disables their five senses, starting with taste, smell, touch, hearing, and then sight.

Taste Is Gone Immediately, Smell A Minute Later, Touch Two Minutes After Smell, Hearing Two Minutes After Touch, and Sight 3 minutes after hearing.

In Bankai the pollen's poison lasts the entire time of the battle and does the same thing, EXCEPT it moves into the persons organs as well and slowly shuts them down with the same method that is in Shikai. It CAN be broken out of with a Master in Will Power AND a Master in Strength, not either or, but both.

Roleplay Sample: The night was darker than usual. Tension filled the air when she walked through the streets of the same village she had lived in for years before. The incident still haunted her, it haunted them all. "She's a freak." people that she once called her friends whispered behind her back, insulting and glaring at her when ever they got a chance to. She ignored this. In her mind she was right. She had not only hurt, but taken the life of the friend she had held so dearly with the mere sound of her voice. If that wasn't something to be called freakish, what was?

Night came and she soon nestled herself into bed, blowing out the candle that gave her light. Pulling the blankets up to keep warm, she stared out the window. A storm was coming. The thick clouds hiding the beauty of the night sky made that obvious. She loved storms. They made her feel like she wasn't the only miserable person in this place. Thunder crashed, echoing throughout the village, and soon the rain followed. The sound of water dropping down on the roof was enough to relax her, and the thunder and lightning did not frighten her at all, so very soon she was able to sleep.

"KAMINARI!" the screams of her dead friend Lira plagued her dreams. She saw that same day. The day she murdered her friend. It was the same day that she had lost trust in herself and hid the voice she was once proud of. She saw the blood seeping from Lira's eyes and she panicked. She stood up to run, but she some how ran back into the body of her friend. She got up and ran in the opposite direction, only to once again return to the side of her friends body. "No..." she thought to herself as she held her head, "I'm sorry..." She threw her head back and went to scream, but everything froze. Her heart raced and sweat slid down her face. She had been thrashing around in her bed. She shot up from her sleep, her hand on her heart. She looked around in a panic and breathing heavily, thankful for being released from such a nightmare.
