MIBUCHI, AYANE
SHINIGAMI
FIFTH SEAT/ELEVENTH DIVISION
Personnel File
Age: 100
Birthday: April 1st, 1263
Gender: Female
Ethnicity: Japanese
Physical Specifications
Height and Weight: 153cm & 51kg
Eyes: Pink
Hair: Pink
General Appearance: Ayane looks like a slip of a woman, to say the least, with a small height and equally as light. That said, she makes up for her size with the energy she displays. A bright smile on her face, eyes constantly lit up with energy, and constantly moving. She wears the typical Shinigami uniform exposing just the smallest bit of cleavage, alongside an open green kimono, in remembrance of the many she wore when she was alive.
She keeps her hair nice and long, preferring it that way, with a bit of her hair kept up in braids along both sides of her head, a sign she cares a bit about how she appears to others. When not wearing the Shinigami uniform, in more casual clothes, she tends for bright, colorful outfits. Skirts, dresses, and anything she can wear that makes her pop and makes her a visual spectacle; the more of that she wears, in her eyes, the better.
Psychological Profile
In a word: energetic. Ask anyone about Ayane and that's how they would describe her. She has a zest for life, a love for others, that few can match. She's always bouncing around from hobby to hobby, eager to pick something else up to learn. She sees the good in other people, and is always quick to make friends, but this also leads to her having a very strong, firm sense of justice and what it truly is. Blindly following the law isn't justice; being a good, moral person who sees the world for what it is, grey, and giving a helping hand where you can. That, to her, is justice.
In spite of her trusting, bubbly nature, she can be rather perceptive when it comes to others, well aware that a personality like hers can be taken advantage of. As such, she is always keeping an eye out for any who try to influence or manipulate her. When it comes to dealing with issues, she is very much a straightforward person: if she can't punch her way past an issue, she generally goes to her friends for help dealing with it. This can lead to her being EXTREMELY selfish and impulsive, often making rash decisions and none being able to dissuade her from them.
She is unique among Shinigami for preferring to fight with her fists instead of her Zanpakuto. Although she is skilled in the blade, in the last moments of her life she grew to hate the sight of blood staining it. She may have lost her memory, but that disdain is still somewhere inside of her as an instinct.
Zanpakutō File
Zanpakutō Spirit: Miharu, a woman clad in traditional samurai armor, with a stern face and a stoic, strong demeanor. A reflection of how her father was: fearless, brave, and ready to do his duty. In short, an idealized form of how Ayane wants to be...or rather, wanted to be, when she was alive. The two disagree often, mostly due to how Ayane doesn't want to be so stoic, so...cold, in her new life, even if she does admire Miharu's other qualities. Miharu herself often chastises Ayane harshly, not out of a sense of hate, but out of a sense of wanting her to grow, and use Miharu more.
Inner World An Inner World reminiscent of her father's dojo from when she was alive, where she spent countless nights training secretly with the blade. It is tranquil, silent, decorated sparsely with just a few sets of samurai armor and samurai swords in racks.
Sealed Zanpakutō A blade of average length and appearance, save for a green tassel on the end of it, with pink, crisscross swirling lines on the hilt.
Shikai Appearance
"Break, Miharu!"
The blade seems to shatter into a million pieces, before reforming on Ayane's hands as a pair of thick, heavy gauntlets, green in color. Something similar to metallic threads dangle from the back of the gauntlet.
Shikai Abilities: The metallic threads dangling from her gauntlets can lash out freely, based solely on Ayane's thoughts. Their intent: to latch onto her foe, to drain their strength rapidly so that her fierce blows can be made even fiercer, and ensure her enemies can't escape her.

Documented History
Prologue
Ayane was born in 1263 as the daughter of a samurai, her mother dying in childbirth. She admired his duty, his loyalty, and his skill with the blade. So much so that she practiced in secret, staying unwed as she grew up. In 1281, the Mongol invasion of Japan occurred, but by that point, her father was deathly ill, and died shortly after the call went out for all samurai to repel the invasion.
Not wanting her father's name to go down in shame, she disguised herself as him, hidden under his armor, and took to battle. Making a name for him as she fell, reincarnated into the Rukongai after death. Born into the 80th Rukon district, she would quickly find gangs all over, and be taken in by a loving family just trying to get by. Upon learning that after 10 years, your memories fade of your human life, she desperately wrote down as much about that life that she could before those memories faded, hating the idea of forgetting herself. A bit after her first decade in the Rukongai, and wanting to change things around, she would challenge gang after gang, bringing them under heel with her brute strength and kindness.
Once done, and wanting to change how brutal life was for the outer districts, she would leave the 80th district, to become a Shinigami. She struggled with more esoteric subjects, such as Kido and Shunpo, although she would somewhat improve the latter, and eventually graduated a little later than most as a full-fledged Shinigami, joining the 11th squad.
Relevant Background
Although lacking in refinement and skill in a lot of areas, Ayane's sheer skill made up for it in many ways as she rapidly climbed the ranks of her squad. With her magnetizing personality making friends everywhere, coupled with her quick efficiency on missions, it was little wonder that she made a name for herself.
Even when times are bleak for her and the rest of the Soul Society, she is resolute on staying as a rock for others. A beacon in the dark, no matter how things turn out in the end.
