Basic Information
Other Names:
Epithet: The Harvester
Race: Shinigami
Organisation: Gotei 13 / Squad 7
Rank: Head Captain
Personality and Appearance
Personality:
- Characteristics:
Utilitarian - Tayuya has a very no-nonsense attitude when it comes to people and items, as her main concern is whether they will serve a useful purpose or not. For this reason, she lives a very humble life in a minimalist space that she calls her own.
Devoted to the job - Tayuya’s work is number one priority. She saves lives, but ultimately it is a completed mission that truly marks a success.
Rigid - Taking her work very seriously, Tayuya has a strong belief in the system devised to keep the world running and remains rigid in her ways.
Mysterious - Tayuya is usually silent and reveals very little about her character, as very few know anything about her personality other than rumours going round that may or may not be true.
Cat-lover - Rumours have been circulating that Tayuya adores cats, supposedly having returned to face a threat in order to save a cat from harm’s way.
Life of the Party - Very few people have seen Tayuya at parties, as she rarely attends them. However, only her closest comrades can confirm that once a bit of whiskey gets into her system, she comes to life and is the one who keeps a party going.
- Goals:
As the Squad 7 captain, Tayuya’s goal is eliminating threats that step out of line or interrupt the natural course of things.
It is rumoured, however, that as she appears to cut down problematic arrancar, she harvests their souls, thus lending her the epithet 'The Harvester'.
- Weaknesses:
Cats - If a cat is in peril, Tayuya will go so far as to put herself in danger to rescue it. Likewise, using a cat for blackmail will offer a high chance of success.
Whiskey - Tayuya is not a heavy drinker and is rarely seen socialising in this manner, but the few times she does, whiskey will bring her right out of her hardened shell to reveal her deepest secrets.
Appearance:
- Description:
Tayuya is on the shorter side, but walks with the air of a giant. The redhead’s face is often cast in shadow, but emerald green eyes can sometimes be spotted reflecting from underneath her hood. In contrast to her harsh attitude and rigid devotion to her job, she has a somewhat dainty appearance. - Alternate Outfits:
Tayuya rarely strays from her shinigami uniform and captain’s coat, but if she needs to, she will resort to anything hooded. - Art:

Combat
Fighting Style: Quick and Quiet
Description: Focused on dealing with a situation very quickly with as little fuss as possible, Tayuya’s fighting style requires on masterful use of Hoho and expert swordsmanship.
Zanpakuto Name: Kyoushu (Assassin)
Zanpakuto Description: Kyoushu looks like a regular Katana that reflects two distinctive colours in the its blade if held at the correct angle - red and blue.
Zanpakuto Shikai: release phrase: ‘Tsubuse’ (Crush)
The sword seemingly splits along its length into two weapons. The blades instantly dull and take on a blunt and bulkier form as the katana effectively becomes two Kanabō, one with a red ribbon and tassel around its hilt and the other blue.
Bankai Release: Ware no Katawara (Beside me)
Upon bankai release, Kyoushu distorts and splits once more to form four perfect mirror images of Tayuya. These clones fight in perfect synchrony with Tayuya, controlled by the bond between the user and her zanpakuto with no need for verbal communication. However, while they do have physical mass to lend them equal physical strength as Tayuya’s, they cannot cast any kido spells. Instead, their strength lies in a sharpened edge that surrounds the distorted images, allowing them maximum mobility as cutting weapons.
Kidō:
Tayuya is skilled in the arts of Kido and can carry out spells expected of her at captain level.
