» Iris Yuudeshi - her surname is from the fact that she's part of the Yuudeshi Clan and a more closer relative to Zin Yuudeshi, the Vizard Corps. leader that supports the Gotei 13.
✖ Titles:
» The God Slayer (神殺害, Metsujin) is probably one of her most prized titles. It was earned when she was a Shinigami due to her outmatched skills and techniques in comparison to people of her rank. Though, despite this being her title, she prefers to be called by her name instead. She didn't even know she had this title until somebody called her with it in front of her eyes. Her flames are known to be from God itself due to the unrealistically intense white flames she is renown to use hence the title.
» Archangel (大天使, Dai Tenshi) is a more rarely used title of her's and is what she is compared to when unleashing the wrath of her Zanpakutō. She also looks like when she goes into her Bankai. The title is unofficial and more of a nickname then anything but people has taken a liking to call her it when she activates her Bankai. This was given upon her first usage of Bankai, or rather the achievement of earning a Bankai through her hard efforts. Her Zanpakutō was the first to call her such name.
» Sword Saint (剣聖, Seiken) is not a title, rather an alias due to the level of swordsmanship mastery she has attained for almost three hundred years (so she says). This name itself speaks for her skills and just proves that she is Sword Master of one of a kind. If anything, she is the best, or one of the best swordswomen within the Yuudeshi Clan.
✖ Appearance Age:
» Early 20's, most definitely, though it's more dependent on people's view on her. Some people find her young-looking and some finds her too old for them, such and such. But, yes, if anything, she's looks as if she's in her early 20's.
✖ True Age:
» Nobody knows her exact age except for herself. It is speculated that she is fairly young, but there are some others that believes that she's ancient. Iris herself will never ever tell anybody of her age despite it being probably one of the least important part about her. However, it is shown that she likes to be called young over old. She just never spoke of her true age. Never. Hint; she's Zin's daughter, so you would expect her to be at least several dozens of years younger than Zin, wouldn't you think?
✖ Gender:
» ♀ Female - no matter how you look at her, she is depicted as a lady.
✖ Sexuality:
» Straight most likely, but who knows?
✖ Affiliation/Rank:
» Herself » Yuudeshi Clan
✖ Alignment:
» Lawful Neutral as she is willing to uphold the law and rules very strictly, but not to the point where she would get involved with something that she should not be getting involved with which points to the "neutral".
✖ Height:
» Iris' height reaches up to a defiant 5'8" which is fairly tall for a Japanese descent. Her height gives an extra edge to her intimidating factor since girls are seen to be usually scary when they're tall. In her case, it's the same way too. Her height has shown to easily tower over most Japanese men her age and almost rival the height of Africans on their continent.
✖ Weight:
» Her weight is fully confidential, but she is seen to be rather agile and nimble despite the muscular figure she has for a female. Now, if anything she'll probably weight just around hundred forty pounds mostly consisting of her muscles and the weight of her bones and assets, if you catch the drift that is.
✖ Eyes:
» Iris' eyes are common but rare as well since they give off a potent pale blue color that almost makes it look like it's gray instead of blue. The color pierces through people's mind and vaguely gives off the silent intimidating factor. They're not dangerous but by the way she just glares and stares, one would assume that she's dangerous and has to be watched during a battle. Iris was given the talent to instill a malefic fear to her opponents with an eye contact. In reality, she is just channeling a very small amount of reiatsu from her eyes to the target(s).
✖ Hair:
» Her hair is a trait from the Yuudeshi family. Despite being mostly from Zin Yuudeshi's side of the family, the recessive trait took over the dominant trait on her and retained the silver look of it. It is cut short and runs slightly over her ears. Her side bangs go little bit under that. The bangs itself on the front run over her forehead and covers her left eye from view. Iris doesn't particularly 'take-care' of her hair like other stereotypical females. She would rather have it look natural as possible which is not tough for someone like her who has short hair. This does not mean she doesn't brush it as she still does just to make herself look presentable and mannered.
✖ Skin:
» Her skin is probably the most contradicting part of her body as she possesses a fairly dark tinge of tan on her body. The reason for her having such a dark skin is because after she supposedly left the Gotei 13, she traveled directly to Africa - Egypt to be specific. She was someone with a natural tan until she got there, which made her look even darker. Luckily for her, it looks natural as well so people can't really tell the difference and what ethnicity she exactly is.
✖ Build/Outfit:
» Her figure is very defined, and muscular. She isn't afraid to wear a revealing bikini at a beach or a pool for one thing. Her chest is decently sized between C and a D. She has a slender waist that leads down to a pretty good size of a hip and thighs that lead down to her slim legs. Her shoe size is medium. Her face is angular with a petite nose and full peachy lips. Her ears are always occupied by earrings whether they're loops or just studs and gauges even.
» Her outfit is always bright... well, most of the time at least. She refuses to wear anything that's overly bright, however. Iris' outfit is usually consisted of a white strap around her chest and wearing tight white jeans for her legs. She has various shoes but they're mostly suited for battles like combat boots. But sometimes, she may feel like dressing a little bit more darker than white itself. Whatever she wears doesn't seem to influence her fighting aspects at all as she is fully capable of fighting even with high-heels on. Also, her wrists are occupied by golden loopy bracers and stays on there, one of them extends up to her upper arm. Around her neck is also a golden loop snug on her skin.
✖ Optimistic: Iris is extremely positive. No matter what the incident or situation is, she will always look on the bright side instead of the gloomy one where everything is seemingly negative. Even incidents where she almost died, she always kept her face leaning on the bright side. This also makes her a very confident person whether the confidence is for herself or her friends and family's abilities. Optimism and confidence is probably the most renowned aspect of Iris that makes her a great friend and/or ally to have. Her words can literally save someone from killing themselves.
✖ Strict: Despite her optimistic self, she's also a very lawful person when it comes to rules so she tries to uphold them as much as possible by force or none. She herself doesn't like to break any rules or laws unless it's completely necessary or for the good of some cause and even then she feels a bit sick to her stomach. Her strictness has gotten people to be afraid of her where they would comically freeze up instantly and move like a robot in nervousness. Iris can also induce stuttering due to her strict nature and temporarily change someone's behavioral demeanor instantly.
✖ Polite & Kind: Iris is very polite to others often worried about the well being of them, and willing to do work for them that they can't do due to a certain physical, mental or emotional condition. She's very voluntary and tries to keep up a smile on her face to strangers to not give off the impression of her strictness that she gives to friends and family. Her eyes may be red, but that doesn't mean she's evil in any way. That's like saying a man with purple eyes is meant to become a grape in the future. No, it just doesn't work that way.
✖ Mature: She's very mature evident by the fact that she remains calm no matter the occasion. Unfortunately, she's mature enough to also have a thing for naughty magazines and stories reading them on her free time like a normal book which leads to people's confusion about her actual personality. Iris is always almost seen reading a swimming suit bikini magazine or reading a very graphic story behind the covers of a book. On her first time reading a bikini magazine, she despised it and thought it was ridiculous. That obviously changed by the present time and is practically addicted to those things. Believe it or not, it is true.
✖ Prideful: Iris is very proud of her clan and is willing to do anything for them. She will not forgive anyone who forsakes the name of the Yuudeshi and is definitely not going to take it when someone insults their honor and traditions. She's not prone to getting angry on a casual situation when someone accidentally or unintentionally insults the Yuudeshi Clan as said, she is very calm about matters. It may be that she is indeed angry but she's not angry enough to burst out into random flurries of fists and kicks.
✖ Humor: Iris possesses a humorous side despite being probably one of the most serious Yuudeshi that walks around the surfaces. One would be where she tries to punish herself from making a terrible mistake which gives off the impression that she's a sadist to a certain degree. Another one is where she will brutally headbutt a person from impatience. Yes, she is not patient enough to deal with people who doesn't answer her questions quick enough. For some weird reason, she has no problem with her male friends seeing her naked. Rather, if she was taking a bath, she would invite them to spend it with her.
» Immense Spiritual Power: Iris possesses a very large amount of spiritual power even in comparison to an average captain which shows that she is above captain-level. Her spiritual power is white and black mixed color and contains a sheer amount of force in it enough to create a dome that engulfs a large city with just her spiritual power itself. Despite the amount of spiritual power, she is able to control it very professionally and even hiding it to the point where nobody is able to track her. Iris may even manifest her spiritual power at will in the form of overly large angelic wings behind her. Depending on how much she wishes to manifest, the size of the wings may expand to where it grew more wings. It has been described as sky-crushing due to the intense weight it puts on weaker opponents. Mere bugs get squashed near her presence no matter what. Her spiritual power contains a fiery affinity, just about inflicting burns of different variation depending on the range between them. This is only possible if she purposely leaks it into the surface.
» Immense Strength: In terms of Strength, Iris is prominently seen as to being very strong in muscle prowess, crushing boulders with her fists and kicks, slicing boulders with a swing of her blade, and the fact that when she swings her blade, it unleashes out a massive amount of gale wind pressure enough to slice through various objects mid-air without even coming in contact with her Zanpakutō. She's not strong enough to lift vehicles of course but she's definitely strong enough to hurl a person several dozens of yards with ease. Her strength is known to be bone-crushing capable of instantly shattering bones with a single strike if directly hit against it.
» Immense Speed: Despite her strength, she is also presentable with speed going beyond boundaries compared to just super speed. She has shown to efficiently move and avoid attacks easily. By combining the aspect of her speed and strength, she can launch herself at such a deadly speed causing the kinetic prowess to increase on impact, making it highly dangerous to get hit by. All in all, she is beyond comprehension of weaker people's sights.
» Grandmaster Swordsmanship Specialist: Iris' best quality is the fact that she has mastered the usage of a blade since her time within the Gotei 13. She is ambidextrous - just like her inner hollow - which makes it possible to swap the hilt's positions during fights. She's capable of causing lethal attacks that may lead to fatality and extremely precise strikes to get the area she wanted to slash. The speed of her swings are so fast people usually has trouble keeping up with them resulting in several minor cuts on their flesh. Iris is proficient with defensive and offensive stances. Her defensive stance is great, able to block attacks with noticeable ease. Most Captains of the Gotei 13 are masters, making her a great candidate for a captain position... that is, if she wanted one and didn't leave.
--- » Battōjutsu (抜刀術 battō-jutsu, art of sword drawing): One of Iris' various styles of swordplay is the Battōjutsu, or simple called the art of sword drawing. This style is fairly self explanatory but if details are necessary, it is where Iris would simple draw out her sword and deal several multiple cuts before sheathing it back again.
--- » Fencing: This style of swordsmanship combat is what allows Iris to professional lunge and stab opponents with the obviously sharp tip of her blade. It is mostly used for piercing even the strongest armor but she wouldn't mind doing it just average targets for the amusement - not that she enjoys killing.
» Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Iris is more reliant upon her swordsmanship than her hand-to-hand but she has accomplished various feats with her fists and feet as well. She has been seen in fights where she would combine hand-to-hand movements with her swordplay just to increase the frequency of her attacks and hopefully inflict more damage on them. With the combination of her exceptional strength, she can induce much damage with this. While her swordsmanship is mostly for lethal attacks with slashing, her hand-to-hand combat is more for blunt non-lethal attacks but enough to make them hurt and hunch on the ground albeit she is still capable of destroying matters with just close-combat.
» Shunpo Master: Although not as good as one of her Yuudeshi relatives, Shadin, Iris is still considered excellent with the usage of Shunpo to outrun most of her opponents in a battle. Her speed has been considered exceptional as she was capable of creating a duplicate image of herself for two seconds. She is able to make clones of herself due to her immense speed though they are intangible. Her Shunpo skills are so great that people has trouble keeping up with speed with their bare eyes and has to focus mostly on their hearing instead of sight. By combining her Shunpo skills with her mastery of hand-to-hand combat and swordsmanship, she is literally unstoppable to many opponents.
» Kidō Expert: Iris is able to use mid-level Kidō spells with no incantation and still retain almost eighty percent of its power. She is capable of using Kidō in conjunction with her swordplay and hand-to-hand combat to cause much more destruction. She's not only adept at using destruction or binding Kidō but also healing Kidō to a certain degree as well from belonging to the Fourth Division for the majority of her time working for the Gotei 13. She's not considerably excellent at healing but she's just about at the same level of an average fourth division member. Iris has been seen to use Kidō for various purposes such as blasting off a destructive Kidō spell behind her to launch herself off at a fairly quick speed and for sudden evasion of a certain attack. In conclusion, she's a good Kidō user.
✖ Zanpakutō Name:
» Shōshi (聖師, lit. Hierophant)
✖ Zanpakutō Spirit Appearance:
» Shōshi resembles a rather odd figure; a talking dove with eyeglasses. He is able to walk on two legs like a person and has a very weird muscular body. Think of it this way, he's a feathered half-human and dove. He's pure white in color in contrast to his yellow eyes. His posture is always manly. He is also clothed in a black suit, always tidying up. The eyeglasses perched on his, um, talking beak looks rather misplaced but he claims that he can see through them just fine. This is most likely due to the fact that he's also part bird. His appearance is deprived from the symbol of holy spirits, a dove.
✖ Zanpakutō Spirit Personality:
» He is very well-mannered and noble, ready to prove right from wrong. He's very serious when he 'works' (which Iris has yet to find out about why he 'works' when he's basically the top figure within his realm). The serious side subsides when he gets angered or frustrated to the point where he completely turns to a different person. This often leads to a comical situation.
✖ Inner World:
» Just like the spirit's appearance itself, the inner world or the realm is fairly odd as well. It looks as if they're on top of an open page book with absolutely no scripts. Iris has found out that the book is based upon her determination. An author quitting on a novel they've been working on for months deserve to lose all of their progress (so says Shōshi). When she gives up, all of the scripture disappears and has to be rewritten again, much to Shōshi's complaint.
✖ Sealed Zanpakutō Appearance:
Spoiler:
» Shōshi takes the form of a very white blade with golden trims on it. There is absolutely no tsuba that protects her hand which substitutes for the length of the blade material. It is indeed very sharp, cutting through almost everything with relative ease. This is seen hanging on her lower back where she can pull it out with no difficulty.
✖ Sealed Zanpakutō Abilities:
» Number One: Nadegiri (撫で斬り, "Clean Sweep" or "Killing Several with One Sword Sweep") This basic technique allows for a precision cut of extreme force and speed, it can casually slice through large, multi-story high opponents protected by steel skin. The opponent can be killed with one swift slash so precise, that they aren't even aware of until after it has taken place.
» Number Three: Aragari (アラバマ物語, "To Kill a Mockingbird"; "one step, sudden death") Placing the sheathed sword upright and listening to the "heartbeat" of her opponent, the attack rapidly unsheathes, attacks, and sheaths the sword. This technique is done with with incredible precision and speed, as she cuts down her opponent in a matter of seconds. This technique is capable of leaving deep, precise wounds in an opponent's body in a matter of milliseconds.
» Number Four: Kamishini (神キラー, "God Killer" or "Cutting down God with a Single Slash") By swinging the user's sword across, they can make a sweeping motion that cuts everything within 4 km of the user. The force behind this technique is great enough to defeat even Adjuchas-level Hollow with little effort.
» Number Six: Gyaku Karasu (逆烏, Reverse Raven) The user uses shunpo to quickly get behind their opponent and then quickly doing a reverse spin hitting their opponent with the back edge of edge sword, slicing into them with an accurate and rapid slash.
» Number Seven: Tsubame Gaeshi (燕返し, "Swallow Reversal" or "Turning Swallow Cut") A technique that mimics the motion of a swallow's tail during flight as observed. This cut was reputedly so quick and precise that it could strike down a bird in mid-flight. There are no direct descriptions of the technique. Hence, the "Turning Swallow Cut" has been reconstructed as a technique involving striking downward from above and then instantly striking again in an upward motion from below. The strike's second phase could be from below toward the rear and then upward at an angle, like an eagle climbing again after swooping down on its prey.
» Number Eight: Kujira Shōgeki (鯨衝撃, "Whale Crash" or "Crushing Whale Impact") A technique that mimics the motion of a whale's tail that rises above the ocean and then crashes back onto it. While lacking speed like other techniques, this technique has been noted to be exceptionally powerful. There are no direct descriptions of the technique. Hence, the "Crushing Whale Impact" has been reconstructed as a technique involving a light upward slash, following a demolishing slash downward , the force of which was able to create a giant crater and destroy the surrounding buildings.
Spoiler:
After Iris' usage of Kujira Shōgeki in a battle. Note the highly destructive power of it.
» Number Nine: Hayabusa Tobikomi (隼飛び込み, "Peregrine Falcon Dive") This advanced technique allows for the user to slice their opponent using super sharp and quick slices of razor sharp wind and energy that can completely rip the target to shreds. It can cut through the Hierro of an arrancar or the reiatsu of even high level shinigami.
» Ryōdan (両断, "Bisection") A two-handed sword technique that has the practitioner bring the sword down with enough force that it can cut an opponent in half right down the middle. Iris has demonstrated that she's able to do this with such speed and efficiency, that the opponents rarely get the chance to dodge it.
» Senmaioroshi (千枚卸, "Thousand-Page Wholesale") A technique where multiple blade movements take place so fast that they can literally shred a target into pieces.
» Nizen Sekai (二・千・世・界, Two Thousand Worlds) The user must first create a second sword out of reishi then use this and their Zanpakutō to strike with two large energy waves that slam into their opponent causing massive damage and destruction.
✖ Release Phrase:
» "Give the miracle that dwells silently in your heart a new but enlightening start, Shōshi!" It should be noted that Iris is able to release her Zanpakutō without shouting out the release phrase. This is useful for when she wants to deal a surprise attack from no where without them knowing. When she wants to demonstrate her release, she will stand straight and strike down the blade in a vertical line as if cutting something in half but stop in mid-way then twist it as if opening a particular door/gate with a key. Once twisted, a sound of a key turning will reverberate as the sword takes the completely different form from its original appearance.
✖ Shikai Appearance:
» The blade transforms into a larger set of blade being close to about five feet. Despite its length, Iris has proven to wield the blade efficiently with just a single hand. The hilt is surrounded by black while the butt is made up of a metallic structure of a half-angel/devil. There is no 'tsuba' technically but a hand guard is there, pointed to the sides then proceeding to shoot upward to face the blade's tipp.
✖ Shikai Abilities:
Spoiler:
» Choetsu-En (超越炎, Transcendent Flames): Shōshi's ability is the power to control the flames of depravity and holy energy, aka, holy fire which prominently contributed to the title that Iris has earned upon herself from the impression of others. These flames are so intense in comparison to average flames that even the likes of concrete steel can start to melt from it. This can be engulfed around her blade to increase her strikes' destructive power to the point of actually causing lethal area effect damages. The holy white flames also can be substituted for normal means, such as the reformation of destroyed objects by engulfing said broken object with her flames, she can revert it back to its original state. According to Shoshi himself, the flames are able to surpass mortal standards, meaning it is capable of even resurrecting those that have died within unconventional or conventional means. It simply works by surrounding the dead with the flames, then simply reverting them back to its original state or previous stage.
» Metsujin no Yōshiki: Tosshin (突進, Lunge): Upon coating her blade with the intense godly flames that she possesses, she will call out the ability and immediately thrust her arm forward which results in a line of white flames bursting out. The fire erupts so quickly that it seems more like a blast of it. The power of this ability is halved when used with one hand which can only mean the two-handed usage of this ability is at hundred percent. This ability can destroy almost anything within the straight lane and deatomize even the hardest structures into nothingness. It stretches up to a monstrous length of between half a mile and a little over one. The deadliest part about this ability is not the flames but the frequency on how fast she can thrust her blade.
» Metsujin no Yōshiki: Hasu (蓮, White Lotus): Iris will engulf her blade in her intense holy flames so much that it starts to even branch out externally then disperse into the air. The heat is so strong that even the ground may melt if she's surfaced on one. After a particular wanted wait or out of no where, she will start to swing the blade at the opponent whether it's from a range or one-on-one sweeping range. On a long ranged version of this, she will shoot out dozens of holy flame arcs at the opponent with enough power that's capable of causing explosions and remain burning from the intense white flames. In the situation where a close-range usage of this technique arises, she will simply make the flames on her blade a bit more stabilized and more controlled enough to cause immense destructive power. Even if the opponent manages to block or deflect the attack, a second attack from the flames will come and hit whatever they're blocking with once again. It's basically a long-range or close-range high speed combat move utilized with her transcendent fire.
» Metsujin no Yōshiki: Ten-Tsubasa (天翼, lit. Heaven-Blades): Iris extends her arm with the Zanpakutō upward so that it faces the sky or ceiling or whatever is above her. Then, she will coat the blade in white flames which induces the materialization of white flaming blades around her. These fired blades are pure white in color and resembles the look of a sword, naturally. The limit of its creation is twenty but Iris is capable of extending that a little bit at the cost of her own spiritual power. These blades are solid in structure yet explosive in nature so when she shoots it out, they're basically missiles in the form a sword with white fire. They seemingly appear around her in a circle and she must swing her blade at the target to command the white fire blades to move out.
» Metsujin no Yōshiki: Fukusei (複製, lit. Duplicate): A rather simple ability where she is able to duplicate another set of sword that resembles hers that weigh the same and functions the same way. This increases Iris' offensive power drastically as she has two blades at her disposal but the weakness is that her defensive ability reduces as she can not block as efficient as she could with just one single sword of her's. That's also not the limit of her ability as she may also want to substitute her offensive for more defense at times. This duplicated blade can take the form of a grand holy shield about her own size, thin as her and tall as her. It increases her defensive abilities drastically and reduces her offensive abilities, such and such. Iris claims that she is able to duplicate anything with her flames as long as she focuses momentarily.
» Metsujin no Yōshiki: Haaku (把握, Grasp): Her blade(s) will completely disperse into pure white flames and engulf her right hand or left hand depending on her preference on certain situations. She will throw her hand forward (not literally) and shoot out a solid chain made of the flame to grasp at around their torso whether it's their neck, arm, chest or stomach, it doesn't matter. Once connected, it can only be escaped by destroying the chain with melee attacks during the struggle. The longer it's connected, the more advantage Iris has. Just to make it more difficult for the enemy, she can simply hurl the enemy around just so they can't manage a good swing on the chain. The chain itself doesn't have a damaging properties despite being made by her white flames but Iris can damage the target by just making them a flail.
» Metsujin no Yōshiki: Tatsumaki (竜巻, Tornado): This is considered to be the most powerful and destructive ability of her Shikai, often called the ultimate ability. She will engulf her blade with white flames just like any other God-Slaying Style techniques then swing it horizontally in a small zig-zag manner which spins around until it forms a decent size tornado composed of the white flames. These have the ability to pull things in including people and object. Not only do they pull those, but they can also pull oxygen from the surrounding area to make opponent(s) suffocate to death. It has relatively powerful flames capable of burning anything that comes in contact with and radiates a strong amount of heat even when you're barely around it. It's like an oven; when it's on, you can't necessarily burn unless you're inside it but you can still feel the heat. The destructive ability from this is sheer force and can destroy relative objects nearby just by getting close to it. Has she mentioned this technique can be repeated despite its ultimate status? Well, she can so buckle up because a huge ride's about to come.
» Enhanced Strength: Iris' strength increases at least twice as much where she's able to cut through buildings. And due to the size of the blade as well, wind pressure from her swings can be felt from meters away. If close enough, the sheer gale force of the wind pressure can easily cut skin and even flesh. It is just a simple boost of one of her attributes.
» Iris will point her blade upward, causing her spiritual power to skyrocket dramatically. This will induce a small amount of earthquake before she launches up a stream of white flames to the sky, clearing a large area cloud if consistent into a shape of a circle. The sky will then turn a more darker color, clouds molded with fire as it shines. Lightning bolts will strike down though more focused upon her, hitting her several times before a mist shrouds her. As the mist fades away, it reveals Iris in a golden armor with blue trimmings along with a cowl to cover her head so that you can barely see her face except for a pair of glowing white eyes. She can easily take off the cowl to show her full head. One could assume that she is a creature now with perfect features. The light reflecting on her plate mail armor blinds almost anyone who looks at her directly which actually comes to play. She also gains a great sword that is about one a half times before than herself as she can grasp the hilt with still several inches of length left. The sharp part itself is gloriously giant. Even the hand guard is absolutely perfect with the shard-shaped features protruding out and those two shiny blue gems crafted into the bottom of the hilt and the center of the hand guard. It's an absolutely marvelous weapon to behold sight upon. The shoulder pads on top of her shoulders are a fairly decent size with a spiky crystalline structure stuck behind it that seems to glow the most brightest of all on her outfit.
✖ Bankai Abilities:
» Power Augmentation: Just like her Vizard powers, by releasing her Bankai, Iris is able to increase all of her attributes dramatically. Do not let the plate mail armor fool you, she has enough strength to move even faster than what she was in her sealed state. The durability she is granted is monstrous, withstanding up to level 90 Kidō with much ease. Granted, anything higher than that can damage her but barely. Constant assault seems to be the only way to beat her. The fact that her Spiritual Power even increases immensely in her Bankai makes it destructive, taking on the form of uncontrollable white flames if she releases it for certain purposes. The power augmentation also accounts for her previous Shikai abilities, which are retained still in her Bankai though to a much more fitted version.
» Metsujin no Yōshiki: Yarikihei (槍騎兵, Lancer): Iris will pull her arm back either in a swift motion or a slow dramatic motion and unleash a preferable amount of her spiritual power (in the form of her generic white flames). The white flames will seem to be out of controll and bursting out in every direction but it will soon be reshaping itself into a lance. Not just any kind of lance, but an enormously huge lance as well. The size of the lance reaches up to an intimidating ten feet. The lance itself looks fairly solid and bright white from the flames though much of it are solidified. Hints of some flames sparking out on the tip can be seen but besides that, not that much of actual flames are noticeable.
She will then throw this straight at the opponent, carving the landscape it travels on from the sheer amount of force it's relenting on the surface. The speed gives it the force to release a large amount of power as when it actually hits the target, it will piece through for a few seconds brushing through whatever skin enhancement they have, then proceed to explode in a dome-shaped manner that can cover an entire city depending on the range of her target and herself. Yes, the closer they are (minimum of 1/6 of a mile), the more damage it will do. The further they are (maximum of 3 and 3/4 miles), the least damage it will do. The most feared component of this ability is that she can repeatedly form this and shoot it out like a normal projectile. The downside is that she can also get hit by it if she gets caught within the outburst which is another reason that she tries to stay at the minimum range to his target.
» Metsujin no Yōshiki: Ame (雨, Rain): Iris will throw a fist-sized sphere of her spiritual power (again, in the form of white flames) skyward so that it hovers above for a good preferable distance within the minimum range of half a mile to three miles. She can still manage a few more fractions of a mile before it really stops. The sphere of fire that reaches the top will then expand instantaneously to where it almost resembles the mixture of a bright flaming hurricane and actual clouds but in reality it's just a more spread-out formation of her spiritual power. As they expand, they will start to get denser as well like it's soaking up something within it. The process up to this point can happen very quickly and even subtly.
During her first years after unlocking her Bankai, she had difficulty using this technique as it took practically several minutes to actually unleash its attack. Suffice to say that it wasn't worth it as the clouds dissipate if left out for a long time. After about a century, she mastered this technique and is considered to be one of her most useful abilities. Anyways, the cloud will then spark out intensely with white flames out of its edge then starts to shoot out - more like rain down - bolts of white flames at the opponent. It covers essentially every single area and is difficult to dodge. Think of a grid scale or a game that relates to grid scales. An attack will cover the whole grid scale that you are in with such numbers that makes it hard to dodge. The bolts seems to be fairly strong as it causes medium sized explosions on contact and destroys buildings with relative ease.
The radius of this technique is most likely the widest of all of her's. There is no minimum but the maximum of eight miles. Iris is capable of homing the bolts away from her mentally which makes it also safe to assume that she can home it at you if you run away. There is no range limit of the homing at all unless the target or opponent supposedly runs out of her sight or reiatsu sensory. Indeed she can keep homing it as long as she senses your reiatsu. So the more stronger you are, the easier it is to do so. This is not unavoidable because... well, it is avoidable.
» Metsujin no Yōshiki: Mugen-Tan (無限端, Infinity Edge): One of Iris' most prized and powerful abilities on her Bankai and considered so destructive that even Shōshi, her Zanpakutō, has forbid the usage of this ability. This was never planned to be an ability as it was created by Iris' and completed within several decades. Even then, another century took its toll just to master the whole ability. The fact that Shōshi has this ability forbidden would just mean that's powerful. Despite mastering over it, the power of it is still uncontrollable.
Now anyways, onto the ability itself. Iris' crystalline structure behind the shoulder pads are not just for fashion or amusement, they are part of this ultimate ability. The crystalline structures will grow longer into an ethereal formation of wings, glowing a bright white in color. The brightness is almost blinding that people can not do anything while the transformation is going on. As the wing grows all the way down to her ankles, they will start to separate into the form of tendrils. The brightness slowly dims down but the white is still there, glowing like the light bulb in the dark. Just like any other wings, these wings allows her flight and dramatically increases her mobility. The funny thing is that these wings don't flap, they just shimmer in light.
Did you think this ability was only about the wings? Absolutely not. During the process of the wing formation, Iris will start to float up so that she's hovering a good distance above an area. After the wings form, she will face the blade skyward but this time with her both hands. As soon as she does that, a dome of transparent aura surrounds her vicinity but not by a short distance. Rather, it's a dome that's two hundred fifty meters away from her, pumping out and in as if giving her strength. She will start to glow even brighter as the sword of her's disappears into a sphere of light.
Iris will hold it against her chest then thrust it forward with the sphere still in tact. She will chant the ability or simply use it without it, the dome doing its last pump on herself. After it does its last pump, it will expand into a huge explosion that is capable of massive earthquakes and explosions within a highly wide area such as a combination of cities and towns. The explosion will hopefully blind every single people in the expansion but the damage will only be dealt to someone or some that she considers to be an enemy. That would only mean that it holds no effect on friendly people, loved ones, or people that she simply knows and considers an acquaintance except blinding them momentarily.
This is in no way a sparring ability and only used at the most absolutely necessary situation which is extremely rare. There is a huge crater that covers 1/5 of Ethiopia which was the result of this technique. Suffice to say that that was also the first time she used it. Exactly how large is the explosion? It covers about several hundreds of miles in a bright white dome of destruction upon enemies. The whole affiliation thing quite works well here. She doesn't have to deem the effect only upon one person but if she wants to eradicate a group with a certain name, she will target the group rather than the single person. Do you see where this is going? As soon as the whole ability is done being used, the wings will dissipate.
» Metsujin no Yōshiki: Kyūkyoku Jūden (究極充電, Ultimate Charger): This is the continuation of the ability Infinity Edge, and is considered to be Phase 2 or Final. It is a finishing move. As soon as the wings dissipate from her previous ability, her armor will also fall off as well revealing her body naked, covered in a bright white bandage. The only body parts that are covered seems to be her chest, her upper leg/lower abdomen area, her shin and feet, and finally her arm. To this point, her eyes are burning with the generic white flames she can create, some of it sparking off into the atmosphere creating a burnt mini crater. This may signify her strength.
Spoiler:
Her armor doesn't "disappear" off of her like the wings but rather reequip themselves in another structure of a body that is four times bigger than Iris herself in the formation of a horse. The horse seems to look exactly like Iris' normal Bankai appearance but just not humanoid. Its skin is jet black and covered mainly in the golden outfit with blue wrappings that make it look even more contrasting and beautiful. The crystalline wings that were on Iris' shoulder will be over the legs of the horse, sprouting out the same exact tendrils to the back which enables it to fly as well. The mane it has is also the same ethereal form.
Iris will either mount upon the war steed she has summoned with her glowing bandages on or simply fight with it in the battlefield. She claims that the two of them are one single being separated into two different souls with equal strength, making it seem like the target is fighting two Iris at once. The horse does not fight with the same style as its human counterpart, but will charge and stomp on them in great efficiency at speed. The single stomp from one of its hooves can completely obliterate a building with ease and the steed is capable of repeatedly stomping on the enemy. The two of them will only fight together if the Infinity Edge didn't work at its full scale on the enemy.
When they are together (Iris climbing onto its metallic saddle), they are an absolutely monstrous combination. She will materialize two fiery white great swords that resemble her Bankai blade in both of her hands and swiftly swing them around with speed and power. After some possible combos, she will then back off several meters or even miles. As the steed rubs its hooves on the ground, Iris will combine the two great swords together to form an even bigger lance than her lancer ability. The lance seems to be three times the size of Iris with the sharp end covering most of the length.
Then swoosh, the steed will kick itself off in a satisfying speed making it look like Iris is jousting with the lance in hand. As soon as she gets in a preferred range on the enemy, she will either throw it or thrust it forward. Depending on the situation, another explosion of the same scale as her Infinity Edge may occur or simply blast the opponent several miles. So far, she has used this technique twice and has yet to master it nor give the steed a name that's fitting.
After the usage of this ability, Iris will most likely be exhausted and collapse from fatigue. It doesn't take too long to recover from it but she will still be too tired to fully out right slam this ability's engine on.
✖ Inner Hollow Description:
» Iris, as a vizard, does possess an inner hollow within herself that resides within the realm of her Zanpakutō. Her appearance is very similar to Iris as if she was a twin counterpart and by that, everything on itself is a counterpart to Iris. She has hollow eyes; amber colored irises with a defense black outer layer and pupil. Its eyes are so deceiving and evil that it doesn't resemble Iris' intimidating ones at all. Unlike Iris who wears whatever outfit she prefers, her inner hollow seems to stay in one particular outfit. A white version of a Shinigami's shihakusho except that it has a miniskirt rather than trousers. Its face is even whiter than the pale original. It's basically an Iris inside an alternate universe. Iris' inner hollow goes by no name which resulted in Iris naming her "Blank" to represent that she's a nobody.
✖ Inner Hollow Personality:
» Blank is incredibly deceiving and mischievous. Her cunning personality can influence even the minds of her enemies to do her bidding. Her lies can be seen as the truth even with the case of a lie detector (which is practically impossible due to the fact that she's inside another realm where such things don't exist at all). She looks down on Iris as a pathetic excuse for a host and even vows that she will escape one day to wreak havoc. Despite this, she does have a comical side where she's so playful and sarcastic that she goes through drastic measures such as hitting herself on a hard solid structure. Blank is not sadistic. She's just rather unique and different. She's also afraid that Iris might die as it will only end up with her disappearing as well which is the only reason she'll ever lend Iris her powers.
✖ Inner Hollow Powers:
» Master Swordsmanship Specialist: Blank is a highly versatile swordsman, able to overwhelm even the likes of Iris who is known to be extremely good with the blade. The hollow has shown to use both of her hands, demonstrating that she's ambidextrous just like her counterpart. She's very capable of causing attacks of precision and inflict extremely lethal attacks that may end up being fatal. She seems to be the most confident during her offensive stance but she has proven herself to also be fairly adapt in the likes of defense, subsequently blocking Iris' sword attacks without much visible efforts. Her strikes are prominently quicker than stronger with the goal to make the other feel uncomfortable due to the speed of her strikes which seems to also look like it has notable power. Blank carries the same sword style as Iris.
» Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Despite not using much hand-to-hand combat, Blank has shown to be innate with its likes. When her blade was 'flung away' by Iris' strikes, she immediately went into a hand-to-hand stance to completely overwhelm Iris even during her possession of the Zanpakutō. Her footwork is professional and she can easily trick her opponents with it. It is likely that's a master at this particular skill because Iris is also a fairly well hand-to-hand combatant, able to keep up with the likes of a captain if she wanted to with it.
» Banshee Scream: The ability to scream in such frequency and velocity that it can literally tear off the skin of her target. It is compacted by reiatsu compressed together then releasing it out toward a specific direction in the form of sound. It may sound simple to use, but it is highly complicated. Even Iris has trouble explaining how it works as she just managed to do it during her first mask-on action. It's as if the whole world is screaming in irritation and frustration. This seriously can tear off just the skin of a target which can cause massive pain due to the loss of epidermis and other skin layers that protects the body from external harm.
The weakness is that it travels in one direction. The direction can be swapped during it so that the ability may act more fluent during battles. The effects of the scream won't affect a person unless they are within the vicinity of its direction. However, people are still able to hear the scream as long as they are within a half mile to Iris. Yes, it can affect up a line up to half a mile. The scream is fairly catastrophic even to environments, tearing layer by layer.
» Sonic Scream: The second and final scream ability. This is rather different from the Banshee Scream as this one can not tear of specific layers off of a certain target. Upon using the Sonic Scream, it will travel in one direction for up to half a mile just like the Banshee Scream but cause different affects; combustion. The force of this scream is so much stronger than the Banshee Scream that once heard, it will start to reverberate within a body so fast and powerful that it may literally make the enemy explode in an extremely gory and bloody way. It does go in a straight line up to half a mile but the width of it is a lot smaller which means she can scream at the head of a target to make that particular body part explode.
The weakness of this ability that unlike the Banshee Scream, she can not change direction during the course of this ability, making herself highly vulnerable. The only way to substitute for that weakness is if she manages to make the opponent immobile so that they may not move when she uses this ability. Just like Banshee Scream, it has an affect on environments. Rather than tearing it up layer by layer, it literally destroys them to the point where it doesn't exist.
✖ Hollow Mask Appearance:
» Iris' hollow mask is nothing too special and is really not flashy at all. It holds a smooth structure on the face with no mouth except an eye socket. But on the sides are a pair of wings stretching over her ears. Another part that makes her deserving of the Archangel title, definitely. Her irises are pale white with a black outer layer.
✖ Vizard Powers:
» Hollow Mask: Just like any other standardized Vizards, she has the ability to summon forth the power of her inner hollow in the form of a mask that covers her face for the duration. Due to Blank's fear of Iris getting killed, she will try to give her as much as power she needs in order to survive. This makes it so that she can hold up her mask for almost thirty posts and can try to risk the damage by upholding until it's between forty and forty-five.
» Banshee Scream: A direct pass down from her inner hollow; The ability to scream in such frequency and velocity that it can literally tear off the skin of her target. It is compacted by reiatsu compressed together then releasing it out toward a specific direction in the form of sound. It may sound simple to use, but it is highly complicated. Even Iris has trouble explaining how it works as she just managed to do it during her first mask-on action. It's as if the whole world is screaming in irritation and frustration. This seriously can tear off just the skin of a target which can cause massive pain due to the loss of epidermis and other skin layers that protects the body from external harm.
The weakness is that it travels in one direction. The direction can be swapped during it so that the ability may act more fluent during battles. The effects of the scream won't affect a person unless they are within the vicinity of its direction. However, people are still able to hear the scream as long as they are within a half mile to Iris. Yes, it can affect up a line up to half a mile. The scream is fairly catastrophic even to environments, tearing layer by layer.
» Sonic Scream: Another direct pass down from her inner hollow, Blank. The second and final scream ability. This is rather different from the Banshee Scream as this one can not tear of specific layers off of a certain target. Upon using the Sonic Scream, it will travel in one direction for up to half a mile just like the Banshee Scream but cause different affects; combustion. The force of this scream is so much stronger than the Banshee Scream that once heard, it will start to reverberate within a body so fast and powerful that it may literally make the enemy explode in an extremely gory and bloody way. It does go in a straight line up to half a mile but the width of it is a lot smaller which means she can scream at the head of a target to make that particular body part explode.
The weakness of this ability that unlike the Banshee Scream, she can not change direction during the course of this ability, making herself highly vulnerable. The only way to substitute for that weakness is if she manages to make the opponent immobile so that they may not move when she uses this ability. Just like Banshee Scream, it has an affect on environments. Rather than tearing it up layer by layer, it literally destroys them to the point where it doesn't exist.
» Mask Shielding: The Hollow Mask isn't just for power augmentation purposes as it can also serve for defensive capabilities, shielding her face from attacks that seem to come. It is not the best defense in the world, but it notably can withstand a lot of attacks before it breaks apart. This allows Iris to feel safer while she has her mask on for a certain duration of time. Not to mention it can also block critical attacks and reduce the effects to a medium scale. The mask still isn't permanent so it'll go away after the duration is up.
» Sonido: is the Arrancar equivalent of the Shinigami Flash Steps and the Quincy Hirenkyaku; it allows the user to travel at incredibly high speeds for short distances. Use of Sonído is punctuated by a brief static sound, in contrast to the "swish" sound caused by Flash Steps. Iris has demonstrated that she is willingly able to put her original Shunpo on top of this Sonido to increase her speed by two times, making her even a faster opponent to fight. She even has proven her speed by appearing before the static noise of the Sonido resonated, already ready to ambush the opponent before they realize.
» Garganta (黒腔（ガルガンタ): is how Hollows move to and from Hueco Mundo. It literally tears open the dimensional fabric separating the worlds, revealing a tunnel of whirling, torrential energy that must be focused and solidified to create a discernible pathway. Iris has shown to easily rip through the dimension and travel in it within a split second of time, using it as an escape route from a battle. Though, using it like this is rare she doesn't want to die so she's not going to outcast anything that can help her throughout a fight or someting. She has also demonstrated that she is able to open up a Garganta in order to broadcast the events between Hueco Mundo or the World of the Living, though more reliable in Hueco Mundo.
» Bala (虚 弾（バラ）, bara; Spanish for "bullet", also translated as "Hollow Bullet"): is an alternative to Cero. The technique hardens the user's Spiritual Pressure and fires it like a bullet from their fist. It is seriously weaker than a normal cero, it moves about twenty times faster and can be fired at a much higher rate, but the damage is much the same. Iris' Bala bullets are pale gray in color, closely resembling the color of her white flames but not by much. She can combine her hand-to-hand combat abilities to unleash a large amount of damage with her Bala, hiding one on her unused fist and blasting it at the end within close range of the target or opponent.
» Cero (虚 閃, セロ, Sero; Japanese for "hollow flash," Spanish for "zero", "Doom Blast" in the Viz translation): is a form of attack used by Menos, Arrancar and Vizard. It consists of firing a blast of concentrated spirit energy at the target. While in most cases it is fired from the mouth, some Arrancar and Vizard are capable of firing Cero from their hands, fingers and other parts of their bodies. The power, force, speed, color, and blast area of the cero is dependant on the strength of the user (i. e. the stronger the user the stronger the attack), and there are some Arrancar and Vizard who have come up with their own variation. Just like her Bala bullets, her Cero is pale gray in color and resembles her white flames to a certani degree. Her Cero is notably faster than average Cero's and can be blasted at a much fierce frequency, capable of few Cero's within mere several seconds. She has also shown that she can blast two at the same time, combining both of them to present pure destruction and explosion of the area.
» Cero Dios Matanza (lit. God-Slaying Hollow Flash): This is a unique variation of the Cero ability created by Iris and can only be used by her when she has her Shikai released. This technique is used by stacking her white flames on top of her normal Cero, coating it essentially. She will blast it in a swirling motion and it can also be homed. The destructive level of this along with speed is past three-folds of her own average Cero and able to release large explosions upon contact, resembling that of a dome. The white flame coating on it literally tears through the objects and deatomizes it to the point of non-existence which makes it possible to leave a clean hole upon concrete walls and steel.
» Power Augmentation: Though temporarily, Iris is capable of massive damage as she has been upgraded momentarily with the help of her inner hollow in the form of her hollow mask. The hollow mask augments her strength, speed, endurance and durability to the point of godliness, making her legendary in combat as long as she have her inner hollow's help. Her strength is increased by five times than base, her speed is increased six folds than base, endurance and durability is increased by four times than base. She is able to withstand almost any attack and remain standing on her very own legs. Augmentation doesn't only count for that as it also increases her spiritual power dramatically to the point of decimation. It also adds a more hollow-like feel to it, making it thick and dense with a blue outline around her gray.

The girl's life began when Zin Yuudeshi, her father slept with a fairly tall Japanese woman. She was residing with her mother's stomach, starting as an embryo and growing bigger and bigger and bigger every month. It was all great. At the seventh month of her mother's pregnancy, the lady gave birth to a beautiful girl with baby blue eyes that twinkled everytime she blinked which brought her name, Iris. Her body was petite from being born early but still healthy nonetheless as depicted from her long-ranged crying.
During her life, she has only seen her father, Zin several times before he left to attend to other business. Iris' mother died from an chronologic disease that affected the mind and it wasn't incurable. She just was a bit too late for treatment. Iris didn't cry as she was still fairly young and couldn't feel empathy or sympathy. The white haired girl didn't even know how to talk or converse back then... no conversation with her mother was available at the time. This made Iris a stronger person in relativity - not from sadness but from having to fend off people that jumped on her for not having 'real' parents. She knew she had her father but his name was never mentioned to her until several decades later.
Overall, the childhood of her's was fair and nice despite the humongous amount of kids that messed with her just because she had white hair and scary blue eyes that started to get brighter and brighter. Iris was also a bit pale from staying indoors too much in fear of the ridiculing from other children. She never cried. She held it in as much as she can. She had the smile of a happy child. But she never was happy. She never was sad either though...
Iris grew up to be quite the lady. She grew taller naturally to a quite large height, towering over the men her age and her chest blossomed out. She even started to develop curves. This only a fraction of her growing up process. As she lived her life normally in a surrogate family, she seemingly had a large appetite; the sign of high spiritual power. At the sight of this, one of her surrogate family members who was a Shinigami, requested that she joined the Shino Academy when she felt like it.
It took her several days before her answer came directly; a yes. She traveled all the way up to the Academy, took the entrance exam which was the easiest exam that she ever took in her life. It was even easier than the 'who's your type' kind of surveys. All she had to do was release a small amount of her spiritual power which supposedly astonished all the ministers who were watching over her, accepting her immediately and putting her into the most advanced class possible.
Her life was still about the same as her childhood, still ridiculed for her white hair but just not as much. In fact, there was some rare occasions where a group of females would walk by her and tell her that her eyes were absolutely marvelous and matched with the hair she had. Stunned, Iris rubbed her head and actually smiled. It wasn't a fake one this time. It was the sign of true happiness. Since then, the ridicules sort of died down which was most likely the result of her smiling too much. She even contemplated whether she should be smiling like that constantly. So she made the decision to just grin instead. It was just as powerful as a smile... not as much, but almost there.
Iris excelled mostly in the arts of swordsmanship, far surpassing everyone within her class. She was also considered one of the best candidate, if not the best for seated position within the Gotei 13. To be fairly honest, she had no interest in gaining a higher position. That would only mean more work - not just any kind of work - she didn't mind work at all, it's just that seated officers tends to have to do the most useless ones; paperwork mostly.
During her second year, she was given a Zanpakutō along with several other students in her class. It felt different than the wooden sticks she used to spar with the others. This one felt heavier and more... soulful, it that makes any sense. Iris felt like the blade wasn't just any kind of blade but a person and a life. The instructor gave, well, instructions about the sword each of them were holding and commanded that they keep it for the rest of their life. Iris found out that each of these Zanpakutō's have different spirits in it.
Iris was extremely glad to actually finally get to wield a real sword and constantly trained outside at night during her free time. The sword was heavier so it took a bit more time to get used to it than the wooden sword she wielded in a matter of several days ago. "I will savor you for the rest of my life." Iris muttered at the blade and swore she heard someone speak in a manly voice. Startled, she looked around. No one was there except some large trees and practice targets. She sighed in relief then looked back at her Zanpakutō, observing over it. "Did you just talk? Speak again!" She shouted, shaking the sword this time. It didn't have a reaction.
Everyone held the same-shaped and same colored sword but her's was changing shape and color vaguely every day. It was turning more whiter from the generic red it used to be. Perhaps her Zanpakutō favored that color? With a lot of questions in her mind. She went to bed drowsily and knew she heard another faint sigh from nearby.
After several weeks, a catastrophe happened. Iris, still with her second year status, and actually having several friends to talk and hang out with, went to this experimental expedition with the sixth year instructors who were obviously spoiled that they held seniority over them. Iris was born with the natural hatred of spoiled brats despite them being older than her probably... until she realized age really doesn't matter in the Soul Society as people who look like an eight year old could be over forty. Iris well lost track of her own age too and didn't care for it after since.
Going through a Senkaimon, the gate that connects the Soul Society and the World of the Living, they did their expedition in the middle of a ountain where a giant circle of emptiness existed; no not literally empty. But it was plain and only had grass unlike the rest of the mountain where there were dozens of tree surrounding them. One of the 'instructors' coughed for everyone's attention making all of them look at him. "What we're doing exactly is a scavenger hunt. We were already informed that you guys got your Zanpakutō so this will make a good test for you. When you obtain your item, an artifical hollow will attack you. They're a lot weaker than real hollows but they look exactly the same so I'd advise you be careful. And..." He paused for a moment to glance at the sky then pointed at it. "Since it's night, I want you guys to come back in at least thirty minutes with the item we will assign you right now." He gave some of the stack of notes he held in his hands to the other two instructors to pass out to the others.
Iris huffed in annoyance taking one of the notes and read it mentally to herself. 'Bikini Magazine? You're joking, right?' She inquired in her mind, glaring at the note incredulously with drowsy eyes. She couldn't accept the item she had to scavenge for but there was no choice anyway. It wasn't like she was going to actually read it. Iris didn't like those kind of things. They annoyed her greatly.
"Ready? GO!" The man said and everybody scattered out separated. Iris doubted anybody had the same objective as she had one the poor excuse of a piece of paper. The edge wasn't straight at all, they were actually really tattered as if forcefully ripped. Not that it mattered anyway. When the white haired lady got into the forest deep enough, she knelt down to look at tracks. The instructors probably were dumb enough to leave them there that can lead to the item that they hid. The downside is that she has to try every single track possible until she finds the one she needs the most.
Iris was correct; the tracks were still there, fresh and easy to read. With a grin, she followed the path on the dirt that lead to a hollow part under a tree. She bent over and gently shoved her hand in it only to grasp a paper-like thing. Pulling it out, she took a gulp of her saliva, hoping that this was her's and the game was already over for her... and what do you know, it was the Bikini Magazine, indeed. She creaked open it, forgetting about what she said earlier and widened her eyes comically at the side of it. They were vibrating like crazy. 'This is amazing! Madre de Dios!' She said and finished in the Earthling language, Spanish which meant "Mother of God", indicating that she was highly intrigued and surprised by it.
Iris closed the magazine and paused for a moment. "... Great." She felt like stabbing herself hundreds of time right now and stood up, trying to walk away from the place until a small shriek made her jump. It was a small mini... chibi version of the hollow, Shrieker. She pulled out her Zanpakutō and immediately sliced it before it made a move. "Easy? That was too ea-..." A sudden overwhelming sensation grasped at her shoulders, pulling her down onto her knees. She couldn't breathe for a short moment. 'What is this?! It doesn't make any sense? What kind of...' A large roar interrupted her. This howl wasn't any kind of hollow's howl, it was a Menos Grande. The more advanced type of Hollows that were obviously considered much more dangerous than normal ones. She suddenly felt scared again like she did during her childhood.
Within a few minutes, screams and yelling overtook the night of the World of the Living. This forest was getting tainted with the color of blood and dead souls. Iris didn't know what to do, she wasn't confident enough of herself to actually try and fend off a Menos Grande. It was just one, she could see it through the leaves. The weight felt a bit lighter this time and she was able to move now. She stood up dusting herself off, and running off to find others that she could join and hopefully defeat the beast. Before she knew, a large figure of a feet stomped on her and she was being crushed underneath it. She yelped in pain on the verge of her bones shattering into several pieces. A voice twinkled in her mind again.
"M-... nam... is... Sh... shi..." The phrase was vague and she couldn't hear it. She was now in another world. The area was bright and she was standing on top of something that looked like a parchment. "What going on? Where are you?!" She called, looking around hurriedly to find a humanoid dove standing straight like a gentleman. "Hello, m'lady, my name is..." His name was censored mystically again. Iris didn't know what to say. "What's your name again?' She wanted to hear it again. For some odd reasons, she felt like it was easier to tell what his name was by constant repeating. The reason was because she was almost dying on the exterior and she couldn't feel it temporarily.
"Sh... shi..." The sound of it felt familiar and she guessed what the name was, envisioning the blade of her's in her own mind to take the shape of her will. "Give the miracle that dwells silently in your heart a new but enlightening start, Shoshi!' She shouted, enveloping her vicinity in a fairly large pentagram shaped aura. Her sword was now even larger and she viciously swung it at the Menos Grande which resulted in the hollow losing half of its face. It howled in pain as it brought its foot up to crash down on Iris again. It didn't know though, that said person was already out cold and exhausted.
Iris only saw darkness. And then she completely lost it.
Iris found herself lying on the bed with white sheets. The scent that it carried when she softly sniffed it was showing that it was just recently cleaned. As soon as she squirmed a little bit, a slight pain jolted through out her body making her yelp in surprise. She rubbed around her chest and stomach area to find out she was bandages and a thin white robe over that for hospital patients. "Where am I...?" She looked out the window that seemed to be to her right. Several people in Shihakusho's passed by causing her to ponder her location once again. No doubt she was in one of the Gotei 13 Headquarters. "Could it be maybe I'm in the med-bay division?" Iris asked herself once again.
The sound of footsteps turned her attention to the door where a tall woman was standing with a vase of white and pink flowers. Iris eyed her over; she had silvery hair with two small braids and quite big breasts that seems to be covered up well behind the black fabric. But there was one thing that caught the most attention, the badge representing the fourth division on her shoulder. She was a lieutenant. "Oh, you're awake!" She said enthusiastically as she puts the vase down on top of a coffee to the left of the bed. "Who..." Iris slurred, making the said white-haired woman chuckle a little bit. "My name's Isane Kotetsu, Lieutenant of the Fourth Division. You were badly injured and had several broken bones." Isane replied as she gently plopped down on a stool with a bowl of fruits seemingly out of no where. She took out a knife and started to peel the skin off of it to reveal the juiciness of citrus.
"Luckily though, I was able to treat it. All you have to do really, is rest." She continued as she finished peeling the fruit, which was an apple by the way. Then she started to cut it into smaller pieces, eight to be exact. "How about the others?" Iris asked curiously. Although she didn't care for much of the others in the Academy, she did hold at least somewhat of a respect for them to get into the class that she was in. No doubt Iris was gifted in what she did, but the others were most likely talented in something she's not as well. And... that resulted in her getting friends.
"Most of them were just merely injured. Not as much as you though. A small fraction of them... well, died." Iris frowned at her answer, exhaling a soft breath lightly. Isane just frowned in sympathy as she finished peeling and cutting three apples already. "They couldn't withstand the heavy reiatsu the Menos was putting out. You were the nearest one to the hollow and you're still alive. You really should feel glad." Isane complimented in her own way in an attempt to relieve the stressful atmosphere. Iris grinned back at her and took one piece of apple to chew on. The lieutenant snickered and there was an awkward silence with just the sound of the fruits' flesh being cut.
"I have a proposition." Isane piped up out of the blue. Iris raised her eyebrow at her inquisitively, signing that she's listening. "How would you like to graduate early?" The braid-haired lieutenant asked. Iris swore she heard that wrong but she dare not question it. Just following her instincts, she leaned over and gave her an enlightening hug with a mutter of thanks. "But... you have to join the Fourth Division." Iris' heart died down a little but she didn't mind as long as she graduated and became and official Shinigami. If people looked on the bright side, they would notice that she got the opportunity to learn a bit more about healing Kidō to help support injured Shinigami or just people in general. At least she's learning something, correct?
Iris' life has been very normal and average. She didn't mind though, as she's still a Shinigami and actually learning something. She has even learned a more advanced version of healing Kidō. At first, she was hesitant to learn it for some reason. Eventually, she gave in and finally learned it. Unohana was an absolutely great role model as a captain unless you get on her bad side. Iris never got on her bad side, but she has witnessed it when Unohana told a group of eleventh division members that as long as she's in charge of the fourth division, she'll be watching over their health. It wasn't 'scary' physically but it gave such an intimidating presence, Iris just decided not to try and make her mad.
Lieutenant Isane Kotetsu was a fabulous teacher and medic. Most of Iris' abilities to heal others were attained from her teachings and both eventually went from the level of acquaintance to close friends. Iris also got fairly close to Unohana in the more respective terms; not close as friends but close enough to care for one another not just as acquaintances. Iris also taught Isane more about fashion and jewelry that goes along with them including some hints about men in the middle of it sometimes. Iris preceded the fifth seat's position and became the fourth seat, becoming quite well known around her division all around while retaining her friendship with Isane.
