Organisation/Squad: Exile
Rank: Shrine Maiden
Personality and Appearance
Personality:
- Characteristics:
Shinobou is an airhead, brilliantly smart but is very easily distracted and lead astray from some of her thoughts by small tangents or visual distractions. This has led to the woman starting many projects and never really finishing them until she is distracted by the fact that they exist. She is lazy, leading her to find ways to automate her tasks or complete them in the most efficient ways so she could spend her time doing better things.
She has survived in exile by hiding away as a shrine maiden, protecting those that need it and selling spiritual supplies to everyone and anyone that needs it. Most of these are pilfered from Shinigami supplies in the land of the living, created by her own hands as useful tools that others may find useful or created by spiritually in touch humans that normal people consider con artists.
A maternal instinct cuts through her airheaded nature as she will often take in those that need a mother to teach them or guide them when they need it most. Lost spirits of children get the best treatment as she ensures everything is going to be alright before personally performing a Konso, even though it risks her getting found by the Gotei13.
This more aloof nature came about since her exile, when the woman gets agitated, or angry a long-forgotten side emerges. A hyper efficient, cold, and dark person that stops at nothing to get something done. If someone were to see this, it would most likely be the last thing they were ever going to see as the woman was going to unleash hell. - Goals:
“I dunno, I just wanna take it easy” - Weaknesses:
Shinobou is incredibly weak to sweets and would kill for anything sugary. She also has a knack for tearing up her clothes that can lead to some awkward moments and the need to patch them.
Appearance:
- Description:
Shinobou is a talk woman with dark hair that is kept in a messy high ponytail. Her dark brown eyes sparkle with the light and gives her the look of someone younger than she is. Her sharp jawline jaw line is matched by her thin lips, which are contrasted by her cheeks that still hold some baby fat.
Her regular outfit is a white and red shrine maiden’s uniform that is covered in old slashes and cuts that have been patched up. Due to nearly always running around it looks slightly out of place in areas but still has a graceful look. She always carries around an old long stray bristle broom. Her hair is always tied up with a long white or red ribbon depending on the mood she is feeling. - Alternate Outfits:
When not doing anything for the shrine Shinobou dons a completely different outfit. One of a white t-shirt that has the lower section tied up under her breast to the side to show her midriff. Over that she wears a denim jacket that has a golden embroidery on it. The right arm has been torn free, leaving a ragged cut where it should be at the shoulder. This is the same with her denim jean trousers but on the opposite leg. These jeans are held up buy a brown studded leather belt with the overhang not being tucked into the loops. To complete the look are a heavy pair of brown combat boots that are usually left undone. - Art:

Zanpakuto Name: Yūgure
Zanpakuto Description: Yūgure Is a nodaichi length sword with a simple guard and a black wrapped handle. It also has a dark sheath that seems to just absorb light.
Zanpakuto Shikai: "Bury The Light Yūgure" This shikai absorbs light from the surrounding area and compresses it with reiatsu whilst the sword is within its sheath. As the sword is drawn this light is released in a series of slashing tendrils around Shinobou in a very destructive manner. The light absorption has no visual effect on anything but the sheath of the blade.
Zanpakuto Bankai: “Yūgure no kenjin” When entering the bankai the sword itself becomes a deep black that absorbs all light and an aura of darkness grows from Shinobou as it swallows all light around her. This light can be released in powerful bursts similar to the shikai but on a more terrifying scale. Or she can form constructs of light that can only operate in her absorbed light zone, these constructs can be reabsorbed or made to explode. Once the light has been released like this her darkness aura reduces and begins to build again.
Kidō:
Shonobou is an eccentric that has mastered most forms of kido and is even inventing her own spells on the fly.
