Ethnicity: Scandinavian​

Physical Specifications
Height and Weight: 153 cm & 46 kg​
Eyes: Blue​
Hair: Blonde​

General Appearance
Fair skin and vibrant blue eyes are often colored by a wide array of emotions that Hildr so easily wears on her sleeves. Whether it's a frustrated blush, an embarrassed blush, a joyful blush... Often times, red paints her otherwise snow-white cheeks and makes her summary-sky blue eyes seem all the brighter. Though, the inverse could be said as well. When sleepless nights strike, dark circles weigh heavy, or when her training had been particularly hands on, bruises are openly apparent.​
Despite a lean and defined body as expected from someone who takes her training as seriously as she, Hildr is a short girl who often finds herself looking up to her peers -- though only in the physical sense!​
Psychological Profile
There's no question that Hildr is destined for greatness. She was able to manifest her Reiatsu nearly a year before being recruited. She's a prodigy; a child destined to see everything the world has to offer. To bring peace in this time of chaos.​
Well, that's how she sees it.​
Hildr is a woman driven by passion and (perhaps unjustified) a sense of entitlement. She's viewed herself as a leader, someone who is loved and motivated by those beneath her. The signs given to her throughout her life are certainly breadcrumbs trailing her towards a larger purpose in life.​
Once she has broken free of the dull humdrum of the Academy, she will make a difference and change history.​
On the surface, when her raging frustrations at her circumstances are stifled, Hildr is a positive, upbeat personality. Though she is prone to a fierce judgmental streak, she does her best to reach out to those around her. She enjoys the feeling of comradery, the closeness of those looking up to her, the rush of someone relying on her -- asking her for help. When someone is in trouble, or is prone to isolating themselves, Hildr will go out of her way to "rescue" the lost and meek souls around her.​
More often than not, however, her relentless pursuit to help those around her will often get her into more trouble than it's worth. In her rush to be the hero, she'll bravely stick her neck out of the less fortunate, even going so far as to put her own life on the line depending on the situation. In that regard, she's inherently self-sacrificing even if it is for self reasons. This can often manifest as an empathic, understanding demeanor coupled with a "don't worry; I'll protect you no matter what" sort of attitude.​
And that isn't to say her heroic, leader-like persona isn't all bark. She trains fiercely, honing her skills to protect those she has taken under her wing. And, of course, to prove to the "higher ups" that there has clearly been a mistake in her placement. Through the support of her peers and sheer skill, she believes she can claw her way back to the path fate had been pathing for her.​
There's no question that this is just a bump in her road to greatness.​

Zanpakutō Spirit

Refined, pristine, and sharp. Nowake (野分) is a tall, pale woman with features akin to a Chinese dragon. A long, soft tail flowed behind her, as if constantly caught in a breeze, and a pair of branch-like horns jut from her forehead. Pale skin fades into scales of blue, white, and red along her limbs, and the very same effect appears atop her cheeks when she's consumed by emotion.​
Beyond her otherworldly features, she has long, black hair with never a strand out of place. She adorns herself in clothes matching the colors, and regal effects of the Zanpakutō's scabbard.​
In way of personality, Nowake offers little insight. She's aloof, and curt, and what little she does offer is often sharp-tongued criticism. Bouts of anger often consume the otherwise calm spirit, especially when confronted with Hildr's insistent need to prove herself, or to throw herself head-long into danger.​
She seems wholly driven by a singular concept: survive. To keep her -- and through necessity Hildr -- alive at all costs.​

Inner World
TBD​

Sealed Zanpakutō
A katana of stark contrasts. The scabbard is coated in a pale teal, accented by golden trim and simple, sharp lines. The very same teal continues onto the hilt in the form of diamonds within the crisscross white banding topped off with a golden cap. Elegant, sleek, and refined.​
The blade itself, however, is anything but. The metal is stained in pure, inky black, stubbornly refusing to even reflect the light hat bounces off it. Only the grooves, chips, and scars along the blade's edge gives it any sort of character and definition, and even that works against the beautiful exterior.​

Shikai Appearance
"Shirizokero, Nowake!"
「 退けろ, 野分!」

Shikai Abilities:
Wind. Storm around her, forces everyone out of melee range. A violent burst of wind bursts from all around Hildr, the gale tearing asunder the ground and any hapless person caught in it's path is mercilessly pushed away. The winds, while powerful and able to tear through mundane objects, are wholly unable to cause any physical harm to spiritual beings. Rather, their purpose is to push away any who may get too close.​

Documented History
Prologue

Hildr -- a name that stuck even in her second life -- lived among a band of marauding vikings. Among her ranks, she was neither incompetent, nor had she risen to any level of fame for any of the battles she participated in. Ultimately, she died protecting her allies in a fight that would go on to end her entire band of ravagers.​

Relevant Background
Life was neither grueling, nor was it comfortable, when Hildr entered the Rukongai. She found herself in the middle of the rings, living in alleys with a small collection of unwanted children and teenagers. She rose as a natural leader among them, guiding the group towards full bellies and laughter whenever she could. Through her, the group of ragtag hooligans steadily grew into a proper gang, and they had even managed to carve out some housing and a steady supply of food. All things considered, they were living well.​
A little too well.​
Their success earned the envy of other miscreants, and it wasn't too long before a proper battle broke out. Scavengers clawing at each other's throats just to get a taste of what they considered luxury. It was as Hildr watched one of the youngest of her group fall motionless and bloodied that a rage consumed her. The anger, so pure and righteous, was enough to manifest a sword right before her eyes. The very sword that took vengance upon her fallen friends.​
It wasn't long after the manifestation of that sword, that men from the heart of the Rukongai -- the Seireitei, as she would later learn -- all but dragged her away from her home. There was an ongoing crisis, apparently, and people like her were needed. She didn't fully understand at the time, but she took it as a calling. It was, apparently, quite rare for someone to just manifest a weapon like she had. She was, apparently, highly gifted and possessed a latent power that could save countless lives.​
Certainly, she must be destined for great things. Certainly.
