Hair Color: honey blonde
Physical Description: Aya stands about five feet eight inches. She has baby blue eyes that seem to sparkle as the light hits them in just the right way. Her hair is a golden, honey color. Not exactly blonde but not brunette either. Her hair is thick, and flows all the way down to her ankles. Aya’s build is slim with some muscle toning, especially in her legs and arms. She has what most people would call a hourglass shape.
Aya’s skin is a nice, tan color. She is often outside in the sun a lot so naturally her fair skin would soak up a little bit of color. Her complexion is pretty average, average because Aya is still going through the harsh time that is puberty. So the occasional blemish will appear, nothing a normal teenage girl doesn’t go through. Aya’s clothing sense consists mostly of dresses and other girly clothes like skirts and baby t-shirts. She has a few pairs of jeans for those cold/rainy days but normally Aya can be seen sporting a skirt and a t-shirt.
Personal Information
Personality Overview: Aya is a very sweet and docile girl, She loves taking care of people; her personality is very motherly but if provoked Aya has a death glare that would send a Minos Grande running for the hills. She loves working for Mr.Urahara; she has had the biggest crush on him for since she can remember. Though she knows full well that he is not the type of man really to settle down so Aya knows that her love is purely one-sided and will stay that way. But that doesn’t discourage her, she is happy just staying by his side.
Aya has an unnatural passion for fighting. Her love of the sport could very easily be compared to that of the early Kenpachi Zaraki. Though that doesn’t mean she will go looking for a fight, she will only fight when provoked or if a hollow attacks. But when that time comes where she does find herself in battle. The adrenaline rush she gets is almost orgasmic. The sense of adrenaline racing through her veins setting her blood on fire and the feeling of her heart pounding in her chest is a feeling she cannot explain in words.
Along with fighting, Aya loves to eat. She can pack away more food than she be humanly possible. Any normal person normal or not would gain enormous weight from the kind of diet Aya has. But Aya’s lifestyle is also very active so she most likely burns more than enough calories to prevent her from since big as a house.
Normally Aya is a go with the flow type of a girl. It takes a lot to get her upset. She likes taking care of those in need and will do her up most to care for them. She is dependable, loyal and easygoing. She is the type of girl who is unselfish enough to talk to anybody regardless of looks or social status or whether she's even interested in them, a girl who is always smiling and has a sense of humor, a girl who is feisty and is open minded.
Character Time-line: Aya's mother died giving birth to her. Not really a happy way to begin a story but in its defense Aya was not born into the world of the living via traditional means. What I mean to say is that he conditions of her birth was a little hectic to say the least. In fact the day started off hectic. Aya’s mother started going into labor early and by early I mean not only was Aya a day early but the sun had barely past the horizon when the baby started coming. Beside the early start, everything was supposed to go over smoothly, the mother was healthy and strong and as was the baby.
Now unbeknownst to the sleeping town of Karakura, there was a particularly nasty hollow lurking around. It arrived in the hospital area about the same time Aya’s parents did. This particular hollow really liked to feed on those in the hospital. It was a much easier meal than having to fight with the healthier beings of this world and hunt them down. And sometimes you get lucky and get to devour the soul of an innocent newborn baby which is just like the icing on the cake really. Nothing beats the fresh taste and the satisfaction of ending a life the moment it begins.
What lead to the death of Aya’s mother was a combination of a few things that had made a domino affect. Well into pushing the little tyke out did the hollow attack, hollow attacks aren’t uncommon but Aya’s mother had never seen one or for that matter know what was behind these awful attacks. Until that morning, there is an old myth going around that states if you are around someone long enough who is spiritually aware some of that will begin to rub off on you. And vice versa; it was safe to say that Aya got her spiritual awareness and powers from her father. She was able to see hollows and shinigami at the age of 2. He was not particularly strong in that sense but he had enough to pass it on. Her mother was a normal human as were most of the residents of Karakura town.
The hollow attack on the hospital had taken a major toll on the hospital. It was attacking at great speeds and burrowing in and out of the hospital picking off patients and causing major damage, eventually making the power go out. Aya was half-way through of being born when the hollow ripped through the maternal wings like a drill. The hollow caught sight of the newborn baby and smiled, hardly believing its luck. Unfortunately, Aya’s mom caught one sight of the hollow and with the added stress of having a baby, confusion at the sight of this monster and the concern of protecting her infant daughter caused Aya’s mother to go into SCA or sudden cardiac arrest which is not uncommon for someone who appears healthy and who has just experienced a big shock.
The next few moments was utter chaos. Aya was finally fully brought into this world but the hollow attack had cut the power off in the hospital completely. So not only was Aya’s mother dying but so were several other patients. The hollow was seconds from attacking and the only thing that put an end to its heinous reign was the attack of two soul reapers who appeared just as it reached the doctor holding Aya. Its fangs dripping with venom were so close to closing around the torso of the doctor, devouring her and the baby that it was a shear miracle it died right then and there. The two soul reapers had been on patrol a block away when the first attack on the hospital happened. It was lucky the hollow was finished off so fast, unfortunately with the loss of power… several patients including Aya’s mother had past on.
About 17 years later, Aya’s father tried committing suicide because his heartache was too much to handle. He could not bare the loss of his wife anymore. His attempt failed, he was hospitalized but his spirit was broken from the loss of his wife. So he no longer had the ability to recover because of his instability. His spirit was absolutely crushed and broken, so damaged beyond repair that it was a miracle he did not slip into a comatose-like state afterwards. He has been in the hospital ever since. Aya was old enough to take care of herself by that time. She goes to visit her father every day after school.
Aya first found Urahara's shop when she was walking down the street. Now normally Urahara’s shop goes unnoticed by most people. Normal people just pass by it without a second thought. But leave it to Aya to find it! She was just passing by when a wonderful scent filled the air and seduced Aya to follow it. The scent alone was enough to make Aya's stomach growl and rumble.
Aya's stomach was bigger than it was supposed to be; the girl could pack away tons of food and still be hungry moments later. Yet, her figure never seemed to suffer any... it was a mystery even to her. If she had to guess Aya would think it was due to her active lifestyle of slaying hollows here and there.
It was not long before Aya reached the tiny, tucked away shop. She followed her nose onto the property and was soon rewarded with the delicious sight of freshly cooked barbecue pork buns. Aya's eye lit up at the sight of the mouth-watering morsels. She reached out a hand, knowing full- well what she was doing was wrong on several different accounts but she could not help herself, just one bite and she would be gone.
But unfortunately Aya never got the chance. The sound of someone clearing their throat behind her made her stop abruptly. She turned her head slowly only to find Urahara standing with his arms crossed, staring at her with a questionable look... Aya froze she did not know what to do except flee, and flee she did... Aya ran all the way home, persuaded the police would be sent for her at any moment... But they never came. But she had to admit she could not get over how attractive that man was...
The next day feeling awful about what she had done. Aya baked some apology cookies and went back to the shop in hopes of apologizing and smoothing things over. Unfortunately Yoruichi happened to be the only one there that day. She quickly found out about Aya's unique abilities when a hollow that had been nearby ripped a hole through the shop's roof and attacked. Aya helped slay the beast and ever since then she has been employed at Urahara's shop as a clerk. And the rest as they say is history.
Supernatural Abilities {Human Only}
Manifestation: Aya posses the Dragon Eye. Also called Ryugan* It has two modes off and on. Normally when Aya is going about her daily business the Ryugan is turned off. Her eyes are the same blue color as they’ve always been and nothing is out of the ordinary. But when the Ryugan is started, either by Aya herself, or on occasion by itself, it turns Aya’s natural blue eye color into a deep, scarlet red. Her pupil is slits into a black, diamond shape.
Functionality: N/A
Abilities: The Ryugan Aya posses allows her to see into the future, past, and communicate with objects that don't appear to be alive. (for example if she gets on a bike and doesn't know how to ride it, Ryugan will allow her to communicate with the bike). Even though she is she is able to catch a glimpse of the future, nothing is ever written in stone and the future can be changed at the drop of a hat, So she is careful when she uses it. The Ryugan can have dangerous affects as well, it can push a person to the brink of insanity especially in a fight. It can swallow up a lot of energy if a person is not yet use to it.
There is a time limit of two minutes to her defense mechanism. in that time frame t she attacks anyone or anything with notable spiritual energy
* Credit for the Ryugan and Aya's appearance goes to Tenjou Tenge
Combat Information
Reiryoku Level: 8
Character Dynamic: She has decent skill with her blade and hand-to-hand combat. She is better equipped with her hands and feet than a sword because she has not really been train all that well with a sword. Since the art of wielding a blade takes years to practice Aya’s ability with a blade is mediocre at best but when dealing with monsters such as hollows using some sort of weapon is best.
Aya loves to fight and it shows, when engaged in combat she cannot help but smile. Like a kid in a candy store Aya has the time of her life when she is fighting whether it be a friendly sparring match or a fight to save the world.
Aya weakness is hard to pinpoint exactly. If anything It would be those that she holds the most dear in life. She would do anything to protect her friends and family no matter what the cost so in a way that could be her greatest weakness. Because an enemy could use them to get to her and she would be at the enemy’s mercy.
Significant Inventory:
Whatever clothes she is wearing for the day.
