Physical Description:
As a flower blossomed, newly bloomed in garden, one may say Mira represent such beauty and youth, death and such a young age proved as being a benefit to a person as it were for her. She retained most of her young appearance despite being in soul society for a great deal of time, showing no aging marks such as wrinkles or any such features. Youth could be said to be a asset to her physical appearance as well as a deterrence to the growth of her mind and experience. If one were to sum up Mira in one word, I'd say she were a rose, a beauty to nature as well having having a thorny side in her life. The thorny side could represent how her personality is that similar to those of a child, having a more or less innocent outlook on life, but giving it their all as well.Given the the body of a goddess, yet having the mind of but the spirit of Hebe, spirit of trickery.
Her face is the main image for her given youth. The shape of face is rather slightly thinner than those of her age, having a slight bony feel towards it, yet looking at it seems rather smooth, showing no blemishes; spots, pimples, you would never she them upon her face as she tries to take care of them, but they do appear once in a while. The lips that reside on the bottom-half of her face is rather more peach, given that she doesn't use make-up its rather impressive that her lips are a bit glossy. The size of them is rather thin, as the edge of those lips are curved outwards, giving a feeling of wonder and amiss upon her face. The ears that belong to her are unable to be seen, as her hair is covering the presence of it. However, they are quite petite and have been facing to the back, maybe the position of them being behind her hair changed it to that.
As for the appearance of the hair, has rather more of a smooth silky feel to it, as if it were the fur of an animal. Each of the strains of hair harbor a length that can reach around to her shoulders, but the way that she styles her hair allows it to only reach up to her neck. As for the looks of it, it has rather more of a blond tone, as much as the sand around the beach which has been toned by the everlasting rays of the sun, that to seem much more lighter than usual. As for the way she fashion the styling of her hair, she has variety of choices for it, but she mainly has two choices. One of them is actually leaving her hair out, but a bit curled looking like the side of a oval. As for the other choice is more of a girly look, having a few strands of hair on both sides, flowing the to her ears as the other strains of hair are put into a pony tail which flows down the back of her body, kept in place by a hair band.
Her innocence is rather shown in the presence of her eyes, as she way her eyes have be sculpted were maybe to capture this image itself. The figure of her eyes are rather much of a circular shape as the, residing iris seems a bit flattened. Emerald, the color and being of nature is what her eyes seem to bring out, as the color itself settles within her eyes, somewhat twinkling with the rays of the sunlight. However there is nothing odd with the centre iris, having a plain black color as it should do. Her eyelashes are slight dignified as she is quite fond on using mascara, darkening the tip of them, while giving them quite a flick upwards. Her eye brows are rarely seen due to being covered by her hair, however they are quite thin and long, It’s hard to judge her attitude by looking at the though. What really highlights the appearance of these eyes are whenever she blushes, her cheek turn bright red, giving more effect to the eyes itself.
As far as bodies go, Mira seems to have a great one, although she rather have a few tweaks and changes to it. In average her body is slim and slender, as most of her body shows no sign of fat due to the fact that she is physically active a lot as a shinigami. But in some places, it rather more curvaceous, this is usually around where her limb joints are placed, but its barely hard to see them due to the choice of clothing which she prefers to wear. Actually, you can notice that she looks rather tall, if you just look at her legs noticing how they are 2/5 the size of her body, however that's really not the case. Her tone of her skin is rather paler, looking a bit ghostly. One of the most noticeable parts about her is her rather large bust, which guys always seem to notice. For her voice, its rather more a shy settled tone which seems as if she is thinking of what to say, hesitating her words.
Garments which Mira seems to wear is rather more enclosing than revealing, mostly covering up every part of her body. Before she was a shinigami, she used to wear kimonos which she used to design herself, as that what she did for a living as she were dead. Most of the kimonos which she would wear would have a flower like design which she was rather fond of during that time, but what more were the way that were perfectly symmetrical on the kimono. Also, she would wear a pair of sandals to go along. She usually would wear the female’s version of a shinigami outfit, but with a short skirt-area. Her only added accessories would be three bangles located on her hand consisting of three different colors, lime gold and pink. Mainly she would be wearing long white socks when in her shinigami outfit, but if she can't find a pair, she would be wearing a long skirt one instead.
Personal Information
Personality Overview:
She is rather more of a shy girl, not really willing to be the main bird within the flock, yet being within her squad may have opened her up a bit, mostly towards her captain and lieutenant. She is highly likely to be sitting in one spot, distance from others though, unless someone suggests for her to come and sit next to her, she would shyly accept. Her shy nature is rather more caused by her past, as all of her family were ridden from her not allowing her to open up to other people as quickly, thinking the same thing may happen once again. The only person which she really has a bond to in her zanpakuto spirit, who obviously is like a brother to Mira, helping her get along if something is amiss, making the day shine if the clouds are started to show signs of being gray. She never separates herself from her zanpakuto, sleeping right next to in during the night.
However despite her shy personality, she is rather really close to someone if she bonded with them, willing to instantly put her life on a line for them without any answer, even if they decline she wouldn't want the same incident in the past to occur once again in her life. She isn't the easy one to make friends with; she usually would decline a sudden remark unless she knew this person for some time, as her looks usually attracts some unwanted so-called 'friends'. She doesn't have any enemies, perhaps due to her likable nature which doesn't really give off anything that could be hated about her. If she here had an enemy, she would probably try to talking it out about the reason why she were hated unless it’s impossible to happen. She has a mutual hidden hatred towards hollows that may not be shown blatantly, however she exerts it one way or the other.
She is more like a child, sharing the similar mind qualities as one, with a much more playful nature at heart. This isn't really striking at first due to the fact that her shy nature has mostly taken over that, but she will show it via some actions that she does. What more is that she usually show more of her childish side to the people whom she trusts. Another 'childish' knack, which she has picked up is her clumsiness, ranging from tripping at times to even accidentally punching someone in the face. All these actions are not on purpose but rather that growing up in the outskirt wasn't really healthy for her mind nor body which changed her whole aspect of body movements and thinking to a child-like age, however after being trained and taking academy, she has matured a bit showing signs of this in her concentration.
Creativity, she has rather a lot of it. She would try and look for another option in a situation which may be unexpectedly chosen, which may even branch into a variety of stuff once chosen. Her creative side was much more brought up from her child-like nature, which was a pin-point that allowed her to expand upon it. Her creative side doesn't only show itself within battles; actually her choice of being a tailor was rather more due to it. Her ideas which came into the style of her kimonos may be weird, however they do show her complexity when it comes towards creative thinking. This was rather more what made her a good thinker within though situations. Joining squad then actually help her mind greatly improve with this due to listening to captain Hitsugaya's tactics and plans to deal with problems that often occur in soul society.
Character Time-line:
~A sprout grew in the garden of life~
A birth is said to be a gift from the god's, however these two parents rather thought of it as a mistake which never should have occurred. Mira's two birth-parents were disgusted by the fact that they were going to have a child, they thought of numerous numbers of ways to perform a abortion, but due to there not being a suitable doctor around this district, they decided to get rid of it when it was born. The birth took place within their household, taking a numerous amount of minutes, pain and regret filled her mother's face as this 'tragedy', or that what her mother called it, was performed. It was about an hour, till the baby pushed its way out of the womb as the father picked it up. The mother started scheming of ways to get rid of this baby; however the father started to feel a slight overcome of guilt, telling the mother if there was any way that they could keep the child.
After a long argument, her father gave in, as the mother had a plan to get rid of the child. She took Mira and abandoned her in a alleyway within district 360, the slummiest of the slum areas. Their decision of this was to get rid of all the chances that the baby will ever see them again by taking it to the furthest location that they could think of. As any other baby would do, she sat within one spot and started to cry minutes on end, hoping that her parents would come back to give her comfort and a sense of belonging. To her distress, this didn't happen, so she lied upon the ground, no able to move due to being a newborn as her movement of her limbs weren't operational. An hour passed, Mira was cold, scared and hungry, not having any strength to even cry... She fell unconscious, hearing a few voices around her before everything in her view turned to black.
A wondrous thing, a babies mind, thinking about the dream which lie within their head; however Mira dream contained absolute blackness, as she didn't know what she could dream of... BANG! Suddenly a distant object falling could be heard in the background as she slowly opened her eyes to see a rather fuzzy view of a person looking down at her, saying the words "Look what you done, you woke up the baby."She was apparently brought to a bandit post, probably to be raised to be one of them, but the reason of them taking them in had more meaning to it. The bandits contained a few number adults, while rest of the members were rather children. Most of them have a past of being abandoned and were brought into this bandit group to strive to survive. The leader of the group was rather a woman who looked slightly shady yet at the same time mysterious harboring a past hidden behind her life.
~Fall of the kind bandits~
Bandits, when you'll hear their name, you'll expect vicious blood-thirsty killers, however for the ones which are raising Mira, they are rather using that as a title to get away with things, harboring a kind heart. She was raised in the outskirt of Rukongai learning the ways of survival, which in their cases were stealing items from local stalls, or hunting down wild animals to eat. She was about grown to the age of forty when she started to participate within this, being quite skilful at doing this, as she was trained to do so. Her attitude was rather more childish, but being a bit more innocent, as for the times that she steals something she always turns back waving and say 'Thank you for the *Whatever it is*'. As for hunting down wild animals, it wasn't one of her good points, but she ended up getting used to it, being especially good at the use of short swords as they were quite a fit for her.
A full moon rose, as the air felt rather much bitterer than ever, as a cool breeze could be felt. Mira and the group of bounty hunters were out, hunting a boar which is said to have an immense size, making it a idea choice to hunt down for food. They were further outer the reach of Rukongai, in almost a desert-like area with a oasis in the distance, which was where the animal was believe to inhabit. As they ventured further to the oasis they noticed the lush looks of this place, as it showed a garden of vegetation, this was probably due to the reservoir of water allowing the plants to grow. This place would of been used for selling crop due to it being a good area but with the boar running among there, people were to afraid to take as step into its territory till today.
They ended up in their chosen destination, but to their surprise the creature was lying upon the silk-grass, with a fatal wound which dug deep into its body, rather more the wound looked similar to a dog bite. The bandits suddenly panicked, holding up their weapons after noticing the blood was fresh, meaning that the beast that killed this boar was still around. A piercing scream filled each one of their ears as a dog-looking hollow was right there, staring at them in the face, Mira thought it was another boar with her child-like mind as she thought, "Dinner time."
Spiritual pressure was exerted from the creature, overwhelming all of the children causing them to instantly ground them on their knees. Mira was unable to even to sole movement from her position, as a something overcame her for the first time, 'fear'. The elder bandits did feel the pressure however they were able to move, taking up their swords they quickly rushed towards the creature. But to Mira's dread they were struck down with one quick swipe from its dog-like claws. The hollow leaped back a few times, staring down the stricken bandits and let out a shrieking howl. Lightning, a flash of it appeared in their eyes, as in a dazzling movement, the creature scooped up all over those who attacked. It extended its paw to devour the bandits, blood splurging everywhere. Each of the kids face filled with horror, while Mira came to the realization of the current situation, having a never felt grave sense of fear. Moments came on end; the creature didn't attack the children, circling around the bunch as its tongue licked the air. It didn't want to kill them yet, actually it rather wanted to fill their feel and feed of each and every part of it.
Drool dropped from the creatures tongue as its first prey was targeted, attacking one of the children and feasting upon him. Mira shrieked with horror, as this continued, one by one they were devoured till only Mira was left. She knew that she was going to die, rather more, knowing this was what made her more intensely fearing it. The creature glared at Mira when suddenly footsteps could be heard from behind her, as the creature stared up, and began to run across the landscape as a figure appeared in-front of Mira. This figure had a black cloak, a shinigami outfit, She wasn't able to see this person's face, due to falling unconscious from the shock of everything all of the present events.
~I want to be the protector~
Days past yet Mira was unable to forget what happened that night, it kept on staying within her mind, haunting her like a night which would never end. She had been relocated to the 2nd district as the shinigami who saved her visited from time to time, checking on her to see if she were any better. She was rather shy around this shinigami, never seeing one before in her life. One day he went up to her and asked why doesn't she try out to be a shinigami, since she had a bad experience with hollows now, also not wanted to be put in the same experience again. She wanted to but she had a lot to think about, the shinigami offer that he'll help her as much as he could. She felt much more relieved due to this, as having someone support her would be much more of an ideal way to deal with successfully dealing with this trial.
These days were much brighter than her past as she was much more able to get to the grips of who she really was. While training with the shinigami, she sought out to find a hobby that she could earn money from. She came across making kimono's which she seemed to exceed upon, which was a ideal choice to use as a job. She worked part-time as a tailor to create these clothing and boy, she was quite known for her fast work and the quality of her stitches, maybe this was due to her willingness to get better and doing stuff so that she wouldn't be useless like when that hollow incident occurred. Her training was going quite well as she keep on willing trying for 30 years, till she was able to fully master the Shakkaho kidou. The shinigami left her, thinking she could take care of herself now as he said the parting words to her, "I expect the next time we meet, I’ll hope you’ll be a shinigami then."
She joined Shino Academy, after one year her skills were clearly shown in her work. Due to her early knowledge of thing, she was at a much better level than most of her class-mate; also she seemed to rather excel at written topics. Her only bad point was that she was clumsy all the time, falling into trouble due to being in the wrong place at the wrong time; however this started to diminish after a while. Being in the top of the class, Mira got chosen for the specially selected accelerated course which cut the time of the normal course by half, however it turned out to be much harder than Mira thought it to be. She struggled a bit at the constant changing of written and physical practices however she kept on continuing as she wanted to keep that promise she made with the shinigami.
It was the seventh year of being inside the academy, being exceptionally knowledge able about the subject which she learned, having mastered three kidou, and known to all of the teachers. She was one the list of people to be graduated, feeling a sense of achievement overcome her once she found out about it. She had another choice beyond her, what division she had to join. She wanted to join the same division as that shinigami however she didn't know which one he was in, she she decided on a way to pick the one that she wanted to join, by rolling a twelve sided dice. Many people would scold someone who was foolish enough to decide their future with a dice, however Mira wanted for it to be unexpected, rolling the dice on the ground, after a few seconds it landed on the number 10.
~Responsibilities~
Life as shinigami never was thought to be so busy, paperwork came in like crazy however most of it were for the captain and lieutenant, However a couple of times, lieutenant Mastumoto was lazy and handed a bunch of them to the other low rank seats. However the atmosphere around this group was rather more joyful, as she felt rather at home whenever here. She found Mastumoto rather funny, as she always were the one to change the atmosphere in a boring job, as captain Hitsugaya seemed rather irritated about whatever she were doing, however you could tell they get along. Squad 10 were rather more about using the tactical side of approach as that were Hitsugaya's usual motions to situation that were happening in this place. Thirteen years passed...
One thing was rather bothering Mira, as she went to the 360 district to check up about it. Along the way she saw a people fleeing away gasping for breath. There she saw it, the hollow from the past. She was alone, due to the fact that she felt that she had to deal with the problem alone once she catch a word of it. The fight was really one sided as the use of kidou didn't seem to work on this hollow, Mira felt the same incident recurring once again inside her head, when all a sudden a voice appeared in a rather mischievous voice saying "C'mon~ we been together for a long time and you haven't said my name?" As this happened she felt a sense flowing inside her body as she said "Prickle a unending beauty upon this world, Howaitosōn" Changing the form of her sword into its awaken form.
What happened after this was pretty much what you expect; she slew the hollow after realizing the powers, which left her with the words "I've done it everyone." She looked up into the sky with a sense of happiness, giving off a little chuckle and a smile. After this happened and the realization of her shikai, the captain promoted her to fourth seat, as she kept her hard work going for twenty years. She was rather more experienced in her shinigami duties, as her creative side of her was really put to good use in combat. She feels like she is now ready foe that the world will make her fate lead to next.
Zanpakuto Information
Zanpakuto Name: Howaitosōn (ホワイトソーン, White Thorn)
Ability Type: Combat
Release Phrase: Prickle a unending beauty upon this world, Howaitosōn
Sealed Description:
- Length: 59cm long
Due to Mira's nature, her zanpakuto is rather smaller than a normal one, being able to be classified as a 'Kodachi'. The hilt looks slight different from other zanpakuto as it has a lime green coloring with a white string spiralling around the blade to the bottom. Upon the end of the string is a knot which is about 0.2 cm big. The top of the hilt looks circular, having a rectangular hole upon it. The whole size of the hilt is 15cm whilst the blade is 44cm long. The blade is quite thin with a smooth texture, having a one color tone of silver which is towards the bright side. The sheath is located on her right side of her shinigami outfit, wrapped into the white ribbon.
Inner World:
As they say, ones inner world is based upon one's personality and feeling itself. Due to this, her one is quite peculiar. As first enter this world, you would be staring upwards at the sky, which is surprisingly looking as if it were a cartoon sketch, made by a child. It has clouds drawn as many shapes, the clouds are colored in as if someone used a crayon leaving lots of un-colored marks there. As for the rest of the sky, the coloring is the same, having a few randomly appearing rainbows. The sun has been drawn badly as it’s not a perfect oval, while upon it there is a smiling face.
Floating islands are all around the area as the area below is a bottomless pit, full of strange objects and knickknacks. Upon each floating island is a garden, consisting of many different plants, however on the stems of each of these plants, there lied an uncountable amount of thorns/prickles. There is a constant breeze in the surrounding while you could feel a bit hot as the rays of the sunlight fell on to you. If her life was much more depressed, the follows would be wilted as the sky would be pitch black, as a void-like sound could be heard.
Zanpakuto Spirit:
Although her shikai may be Howaitosōn, the true manifestation of it is completely different in appearance also having its own personality. The creature it takes a form of looks like a midget consisting of woolly looking moss. These mosses harbour the same properties as wool feeling rather woolly, but the color is green having dark/light patches of it all over its body. It has petals, one that is gray-yellow while the other is a florescent orange. Upon its head lies a lotus leaf with a thorn at the top of it, having rather a dark hue.
Much like Mira, it has a rather a child-like attitude but rather being more mature when it comes to serious topic. He rather a chatty one, whenever Mira would appear in the spirit world he would pounce upon her head, looking down to start a chat or listen to what she has to say. Rather more, he occasionally tugs and pulls at Mira's hair mischievously however it’s usually to get her mind off a sadden topic or something which is bugging her. In average he is more of a caring yet mysterious zanpakuto.
Shikai Description:
Once Mira says the words, "Prickle a unending beauty upon this world, Howaitosōn" a light forms around her zanpakuto as a change begins to convey to our eyes.
Howaitosōn, shikai form undergoes a big change in appearance, also in properties as well. The hilt of the zanpakuto hasn't change but the thin black changed into something completely different, a whip. It is complete made out of ivy, three 5ft long and are wrapped together to make a more dense version. It also has 10 thorns on each vine accounting to a number of 30.
The abilities attained with this shikai are the use of the thorn that resides on each vine. The user is able to shoot out these thorns by giving the whip a hard wave in the direction they want it to go. These thorns are 1.5 cm big, and can grow back after 5 post after the thorns have be used.
Functionality:
With the ability of this shikai, the Mira is able to fight up to as much ranges as she wants however she is slight limited on long-range to the time it takes the thorns to regrow. She rather uses the thorns as an advantage in close-range, using it as a mini-blade during a fight. She also uses it to pull people/objects closer to herself back wrapping them in the whip, using the thorn to grip them. The whip can also be used for many other tactics like being a grapple to hang on poles however due to Mira's child-like thinking it's a highly low chance that she would think of using it like this.
Abilities:
Name: Toge no yajirushi (Thorn Arrow)/ Toge no danmaku (Thorn Barrage)
Class: Offensive
Range: Long
Description: Whipping her whip to a chosen direction, a chosen amount of thorns are shot out (Thorn arrow if one thorn shot, when thorn barrage when more than one shot) The thorns don't harbor any special quality except for their sharpness. The thorns take 5 posts to regrow after being shot.
Name: Sōnbaindo (Thorn bind)
Class: Offensive
Range: Close/Medium (0-5ft )
Description: She whips her whip around an opponent, using the thorns on there to have a better grip on them. This causes them to be bind, but she can't attack them due to her sword being wrapped around the opponent and having to maintain this grip. She can only do this twice per thread since it would give her a lot of strain in her arm to constantly do this.
Combat Information
Reiryoku Level: 8
Character Dynamic:
Due to her not-so advance knowledge upon kidou, she has to focus on her physical abilities, relying upon speed and strength within battle. However despite this, she has a quite good sense of reiastu control; however her power with it is not that much great, having to rely on her binding powers for if she's against a long range user.
She has quite a number of knacks which can get her into trouble in a fight; one of them is that she doesn’t not know her limit until the very end, which could be counted as a good thing or a bad thing. Her clumsiness is also rather a problem, however it doesn't really occur within battles but if she is too close with the foe it may just occur possibly.
However, her spiritual pressure is quite high despite this, having a shikai maybe one more thing that can prove this. With her shikai, her skills seem at a much more new level, as she is in perfect sync in it and know how to manipulate the whip properly however, she is sometimes not careful with it and may end up piercing her own skin with its thorns.
Fighting Style:
She has a slight knowledge of kendo; however she isn't very efficient at using it. How she fights is usually using her creativeness, looking at the surrounding and how she can use it in more of a kid-like view. Her mastery in kidou is lacking, however she can do the very basis which is needed to learn within the soul reaper academy. Her child view is more of an asset to her during fights, having a more biased view on a one-sided fight, making her not give up during it.
Reiryoku/Reiatsu Abilities:
Name: Shunpo (Flash Step)
Class: Utility
Range: Personal
Description: The shinigami’s signature movement technique, using extreme speed and acceleration to overcome the eye’s capacity to trace movement. This ability can be used to travel quickly from one place to another, or in combat by a skilled practitioner to get a jump on the enemy. Using this skill repeatedly over the course of a battle is ill-advised, as it does not take long for the opponent’s eyes to adjust to the high-speed movement.
Name: Konso (Soul Burial)
Class: Utility
Range: Touch
Description: Shinigami use this skill to transport Plus spirits, forcefully or otherwise, to Soul Society. This is a derivative of the zanpakuto’s natural ability to purify hollows by splitting their masks.
