Background: Mikoto was born and raised in Rukongai along with two brothers ( one older and one younger ) and a younger sister. Her life was pretty normal. She helped her parents around the home and played with her siblings. Though she was the second born, she has always watched over the younger ones, protecting them and making sure that they met no harm. When she was a teen, her parents grew ill and both died from their illness because their family was poor and couldn’t afford treatment.
The love for her family, coupled with her desire to protect, lead her to enroll in the Shinigami Academy. During her time there, she worked hard but fell short in her sword skills causing her to have to go into extra training. Afterward, she was recruited into the Juusanbantai where she stayed for 25 years, rising in the ranks until she was appointed to be the Sanbantai taichou.
She is now able to send money home to her family so that they can afford what they need and a little extra.

Past failure they would be embarrassed to admit: Having to repeat sword training twice because her sword skill wasn't up to snuff.

Zanpakuto name: Girochiin ( Guillotine )
Zanpakuto sealed Appearance: Girochiin is a standard katana. The blade is a silvery gray and is always polished. His guard is oval shaped and it is engraved with an ornate design around the edge.
Shikai Appearance: The once normal, unreleased version of Girochiin turns into a large cleaver that resembles a smoother version of Ichigo’s Zangetsu. It’s blade is a smoke gray color and the edges shine brilliantly.
Shikai Release Command: Hanette, Girochiin!, “Behead, Girochiin!”
Shikai Abilities: Kuro Koutetsu Girochiin, Black Steel Guillotine: Mikoto channels her reiatsu into her released zanpakutou, turning the sword a midnight black and making her cuts much sharper than they were.
Bankai Appearance: Same as shikai except the blade becomes transparent.
Bankai Release Command: “Jigoku ni karera o hakenshite!”, "Send them to hell!"
Bankai Abilities: Marie Antionette no Haraise: Mikoto channelse her reiatsu into Girochiin, making it glow and become transparent. She then swings it and the blade phases through Mikoto’s neck, symbolizing being beheaded. It also represents her mind being separated from her body. This action causes her to lose her once rational demeanor, turning her into a violent berserker. This move also increases her strength, reaction, and speed by 100%.
Mikoto rarely uses her bankai ( only when she deems it necessary because of the danger that comes with it ). She also needs to have her fukutaichou nearby to pull her out of her bankai’s effects. She is pulled out of it by being restrained with Way of Binding #75, taking her zanpaktou and phasing it through her neck again, reattaching her original mind state. After Mikoto uses her bankai, however, she is weakened considerably but is still able to fight hand to hand.
[ It is only titled “Marie Antionette no Haraise” because she is the most famous for being beheaded by a guillotine. ]
