HATTORI, SUZUME
SHINIGAMI
FOURTH SEAT, ELEVENTH DIVISION

Personnel File
Age: 70
Gender: Female
Ethnicity: Japanese
Physical Specifications
Height and Weight: 167cm & 54kg
Eyes: Red
Hair: White
General Appearance: Suzume has a tall and lean build, one of tightly-corded muscle and a physique crafted by her will and effort alike. Yet, for what she lacks bulk, she makes up for with relentless training and practice. Her well-toned body can be considered tomboyish by some, if only for her modest endowment. Her minimal effort at maintaining her appearance contributes as well, giving her a disheveled look and the sense of constantly being in a hurry to go, and do, something more. Her hair is often hastily pulled into a wild ponytail tight enough to keep most of her unruly locks from her face.
She has no strong opinion on attire and sticks to the general uniform of the Gotei. Even outside of her duties, she errs towards plain shirts and loose pants; anything light, airy, and easy to move in.
Psychological Profile
Beyond the physical, she has an obvious love for life, judging by the wide grin she often wears. Her unrivaled optimism for the challenges she faces can be seen either as inspiring or foolhardy. Similarly, she's loud and vocal about her opinions, which gives her a larger-than-life first impression. This creates the common impression of an hot-headed lover of Hollow-slaying, but Suzume has a sharp and organized mind behind her seemingly-boundless energy. She approaches situations tactically—a mindset her Shikai has all but forced on her—and with great consideration of the resources and skill sets at her disposal.
Though generally a good-natured person, her behavior isn't to be mistaken for blind heroism. In fact, she loathes the idea of sticking her neck out for some helpless runt who was stupid enough to get in over his head while she puts in the effort to choose her battles and their circumstances with some wisdom. Her aid to that kind of fool only comes because she sees an obstacle to overcome—a beast to test her strength against.
Zanpakutō File

Zanpakutō Spirit: As vibrant and as fickle as a flame, Homuragiku is a lean woman with hair made of perpetually burning flame. She dons a similarly burning red kimono with orange flames that lick and curl around her body, while wearing a shawl of seawater-blue trimmed gold tied around her left shoulder.
In many ways, she's an exaggeration of Suzume and her stereotype: She's cocky, brash, and explosive when irritated. She seems to have little filter and jumps at every opportunity to berate her wielder for constantly containing her power.
Suzume's fear of her own power is shameful.
Inner World A white, nondescript planescape with a simple, small pond at its center. The water is still and perfectly reflects anyone who looks into it. Looming above is a willow, whose vines are in a constant state of decay and regrowth. Around it is a small amount of brush, and some grassy hills just beyond, before the world gradually shifts into all-white as if it were all a watercolor painting upon blank canvas.
Homuragiku is often seen meditating atop the water, sitting peacefully—that is, until her silence is rudely interrupted by her wielder.

Sealed Zanpakutō A katana, marginally longer than the average two shaku, marked by its unique sealed design: red along the mune and becoming black near the edge, separated by a flame-patterned hamon. The silk ito is made up of interwoven strands of black and red, blending together in alternating wraps. It has no distinct shinogi ridge-line.
Shikai Appearance
"Moetsukiro, Homuragiku!" | "Burn out, Homuragiku!"
The blade erupts with flame, including Suzume herself, even before the ignition of its true ability, upon the very moment of release. Everything in the vicinity unable to withstand the supernatural power of a Shinigami is often quickly set ablaze or incinerated outright. This often singes Suzume's clothes, frees her hair, and burns her hands and upper arms.
Shikai Abilities: An explosion of raw, untamed fire erupts from Suzume, which burns all around her—including herself. This "self-destruction" of her blade, which does not truly destroy it, expends nearly all of Suzume's strength for a single, overwhelming blow at anyone and anything that is unfortunate enough to be too close.
Documented History
Prologue
Born into the lesser noble house Hattori, Suzume was always destined to become a Shinigami. More specifically, she was expected to join the Sixth, just as her parents had and their parents before them. Hers was a family with a long history of honorable service protecting the Seireitei, but such a lineage could not last forever.
Suzume was a fiery and reckless child who struggled with authority. In her Academy years, her grades fluctuated with her mood, though none could deny her prowess with a blade.
The manifestation of her Shikai was the final blow to her parents' hope of their daughter upholding their legacy.
At her graduation, she would go on to join the Eleventh, surrounded by Shinigami with a similar disposition.
Relevant Background
Although largely unable to utilize her Shikai due to its catastrophic drawbacks, Suzume climbed her way through the ranks on her sheer skill with a blade and commanding personality. She earned the respect of her ruthless squadmates and led numerous successful missions.
In recent years, she has begun to focus more on honing her relationship with her Zanpakutou so that she might learn to better harness her power. A step she believes she must take in order to climb higher in the ranks.
