Yamashita Yori

PostPosted: Tue Sep 21, 2010 6:50 am


Information

User ImageName: Yamashita Yori
Aliases: Tease (いじめ, Ijime)
Body's Appearance Age: 16
Actual Age: 320
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual
Personality: Generally, Yori is a sadistic and cruel little girl, who finds her pleasure in the simplicities of others’ pain and discomfort whether it is in or out of battle. However, what distinguishes her less than pleasant manner of dealing with people from truly evil ones is that she does not own an innate dark side, which means that there is a slight humorous undertone to her insults and whatnot. Most people cannot understand this apparent anti-social behaviour but that only adds to her joy as it is one of her main goals never to be understood completely. When not poking fun at her colleagues, Yori can be found by her lonesome with the double deck of cards, entertaining herself in some way or other. During these moments, she is usually not in a happy mood but in something that ranges from psuedo-neutral to blind with anger. Her truthfulness is at its peak as well and the snarky attitude is at its barest minimum. Finally, if she ever does fall in love or feel any form of romanticism, Yori’s behaviour is in-between the two previously stated extremes where she is kind towards the person in question and is more playful than rude towards others.

Biography: On 17th December, 1885, Yori made her entrance into the World of the Living. Her birth was not of any exceptional importance but that did not stop her from making a mark. A young Yori grew up with a financially stable family and supportive parents, which permitted her the chances of learning Kenjutsu and Kendo with bokken and eventually, the katana. As she made excellent prowess and matured physically, Yori began to use her solo training time for the ambitious practice of establishing her own style of swordsmanship which would be focused on the natural movements of the elements, namely water and fire in her case. She would have called it Watashi no Kokoro no Ken (私 の 心 の 剣, The Sword of my Hearts). The second noun is in its plural form instead of the former because Yori acknowledges that she does not experience emotions and feelings in the same manner that normal people do but feels that wholeness whenever she is sparring, fighting on her own or playing with a deck of cards that her parents gave her on a previous birthday.

Unfortunately, by the time of her fourteenth birthday and the last few sessions for creating Watashi no Kokoro no Ken (私 の 心 の 剣, The Sword of my Hearts), true misfortune passed over the Yamashita household at last with her last battle for that year. She had been armed with a simply bokken whereas her assailant wielded two full-fledged katanas artfully. It was easy to see who would had the upper hand but that did not stop Yori from defending herself ruthlessly to the fatal end. Upon death, the young girl found herself lying in the middle of a dirt and had to scramble out of the way immediately to avoid being rolled under a wheel. For a few minutes, her memory was not with her and her dull emeralds for eyes stared around her, the same empty stare returned to her hundred-fold. She was dead, she was sure of it and yet, here she was standing and breathing. Suddenly, her nostrils flared with remembrance of how it was that she had ended up on the other side. Saddened deeply by this turn of events, Yori began her journey of endless exploration of Soul Society. When word of the Academy reached her, that old spark of passion for battle, competition and utter supremacy engulfed her and even more so when it was made clear that she had the necessary spiritual pressure. From that point on, the old Yori was back and with a force as if she was trying to make up for lost time. She continued with her Kendo according to the instructions and even added Kido to her list of successes, needing to be the best of herself. However, the memories of her personalized sword style had not been revived with the school environment, not that she would notice in any case. She continued to push herself throughout her years there, scoring within the top belt of her class but never quite hitting the first place mark for every single class. Her competitive streak was wide but not wide enough to repeat the courses since essentially; she had not failed any of them. When the time for graduation came around, Yori began setting her sight on joining the Gotei 13 as soon as was humanly possible. There was more to learn and more people to get to know in her own special way.

Accessories: Apart from the peculiar sealed state of her Zanpakuto, Yori carries an actual deck of playing cards with her at all times. This one is strikingly different from the others as it is of the standard appearance whereas the other two are colour-coded by the element which each deck represents.

Inner World Appearance: Yori’s inner world is one mountainous landscape divided by an ever flowing river in its exact middle. The separated halves are The Land of Fire and The Land of Water. Besides the river, there is no true point of distinction between both of them with reference to landmarks. The climate and atmosphere of each side is the opposite of each other. While The Land of Water is cool and always a place of relaxation, The Land of Fire encourages a lack of peace with its blistering heat, scalding winds and impromptu fiery flares.

Nokoribi (残り火, Ember) appears to be a normal stack of cards in that she has a design on her back as well as contains fifty-two cards in all. However, that is where the normalcy of this sealed state ends for her. On each of the cards, random facts about fire are stated for only her wielder to read. Upon her release, a mild, burning aura is unleashed in a circular motion from that position outward but it lasts for only a few seconds. Nokoribi, also known as Noko-sama, is much taller than Yori and her ego matches that description as well. The latter is because she deems herself the reincarnation, therefore the better version, of the Japanese fire god, Kagu-tsuchi (カグツチ) but does not agree with his views openly, preferring to be known as the one who brings destruction always.

  • Shikai: It is triggered by the command, Sutoraiku (ストライク, Strike) Originally, Nokoribi offers no weapon of any kind upon her first release except the primary powers of fire. However, this does not mean that any and every object can be used in accordance with this gift. It is only after some gentle coaxing from her older sister, Uxiroo, that Noko allows Yori to use her powers in conjunction with the cards that the child's parents gave to her.

    • Shikai Special Ability: Hakai (破壊, Destroy) Yori's standard body tempterature increases by several hundred degrees to the point that it hovers around 450. By Noko's reluctant grace, she is able to withstand this constant heat and at such a level. For every ability, a random card must be burnt to a crisp from the deck. The Shikai can only be cancelled by the word Fukugen (復元, Restore) after which Nokoribi's sealed state of a card deck will reappear as well as that Yori's cards will be restored fully to a state of being unharmed.

      • Shoumetsu sa Seru (消滅 さ せる, Disintegrate)
        Type: Defensive/Verbal Callout/Activated
        The card is set aflame, thrown into any Kido, either Hado or Bakudo, up to level #50, and extinguishes it. This is not an automatic ability so Yori has to see the Kido physically in order to counter with it. It works also for anything of similar strength and force.

      • Shuutexingu Sutaa (シューティング スター, Shooting Stars)
        Type: Offensive/Verbal Callout/Activated
        Yori executes a fairly simple hand seal before casting 10 of the playing cards in quick succession in the direction of the opponent. For each card released, 20 flaming Shuriken are created which results in 200 of them being sent in a wide fan of fire but causing individual amounts of injury. The number cannot be manipulated as this is the amount that Nokoribi deems sufficient to do some level of damage to the other side. The cards sent burn once they are separated from the pack and after that, the fiery spinning blades appear. Each group of 200 is able to destroy a Gillian.

      • Hi ga Ochiru (火 が 落 ちる, Firefalls)
        Type: Offensive/Verbal Callout/Activated
        Yori places the longer edge of a card on her lips and blows against it. In turn, the card turns to ash as her heated breath blows out into the form of two gigantic fire-based cyclones that circle the opponent, swirling inwards to meet them at the center or at least, follows them till they crash against each other in a combustion blast, that spreads out in a circular line of fire before fizzing out.

      • Fusion no Oobu (の オーブ, Orb of Fusion)
        Type: Offensive/Defensive/Mental or Verbal Callout/Activated
        The remainder of cards from the usage of the previous abilities is held in Yori’s palms to be set ablaze by a spherical blue flame. This type of flame can only be used in situations of micro-gravity but Nokoribi makes this possible for her only this one time while in Shikai. She is not particularly pleased by it as it conveys that there is only one level of heat and pain, which is 1,300 °C (2,370 °F); nothing can increase it – placing yet another restriction on how hot she can express herself. Also, the burning of the remaining cards means that this is the last power available to Yori and it should be used wisely. The ball in itself can be used as an offense that ends in a colossal explosion or other attacking forms can be derived from it.

        • Fusion no Oobu: Hikari no Yari (の オーブ [光 の 槍], Orb of Fusion: Spear of Light)
          Type: Offensive/Verbal Callout/Activated
          A countless number of 7ft spears can be drawn from the mostly blue sphere. Each spear is the same colour and is able to pierce through most objects, burning them from the core outward, as well as explode on contact with other fire-based attacks such as Cero.

        • Fusion no Oobu: Teiden (の オーブ [停電], Orb of Fusion: Blackout)
          Type: Defensive/Verbal Callout/Activated
          Despite the restriction on its heat properities, the sphere is able to draw all possible light particles towards itself and transform into a blinding ball of pure white light. At this stage, it grows in size and consumes all oncoming attacks, in spite of the darkness, before breaking down completely, the light particles returning to their respective places.


Obtained?: Yes

  • Bankai: Kami Redii: Nokoribi (神 レディー [残り火], Divine Lady: Ember) Nokoribi’s card deck morphes into two full-length katana that are wrapped in a special type of cloth so that the blades do not burn when set on fire.

    • Bankai Special Ability: Danro (暖炉, Fireplace) The restriction on Yori’s access to Noko-sama’s abilities is lifted completely to the point that her biological makeup has been transformed into a mass of tiny, flaming coal pieces that have been forged together to make the shape of her body. Literally, she is on fire with a more potent burning aura that sets her immediate surroundings on fire - literally. It does not allow people to get too close to her and withstand the heat. Her face appears to be gone but her senses and ability to speak are still intact. Apart from this physical transformation, whatever she was wearing before chars off of her body in order to be replaced by a ragged, dark cloak, wrapped at the waist. The sleeves are too long but her hands are still there. However, her movement is very strong and confident, striking fear into the weak of heart.

      When it comes to bodily attacks, her body is impressionable in that punches, kicks and piercings will make a temporary mark on her body whereas moves with a blade to cut away at her body will work so well that the affected part of her does not regenerate fully after 3 of that person's posts. The healing is just flames stretching over the area to join the parts before the hardened skin is formed to cover that up.

      • Watashi no Kokoro no Ken: Hi (私 の 心 の 剣 [火], The Sword of my Hearts: Fire) A two sword fighting style that Yori created while she was alive. It is based on the different types of flames as well as increasing temperatures.

        • Watashi no Kokoro no Hi: Kixyouki wo Kaku (私 の 心 の 火 [狂気 を 掻く], Fire in my Heart: Scratching Madness)
          Type: Offensive/Verbal Callout/Activated
          Yori lowers her body by stretching out her right leg behind her while bending her left knee. Her right arm is parallel to its corresponding leg whereas her left arm is bent at the elbow above the left knee. Yori bows her head before stepping forward with her right foot and launching her body full off the ground in one smooth movement. Once airborne, Yori sets the sword alight and begins spinning before somersaulting to head for the target. At the point of her direction change, a fiery, giant monkey appears and moves in the new direction in a manner that resembles clawing along a branch. While the monkey appears to be attacking the opponent in an irrational frenzy, the still blazing katanas slash against the opponent's entire body for a full minute before the fires die out and the monkey fades away. In that minute, one hundred long gashes are made along all limbs. The combined temperature of the flaming swords and monkey is a stable 1,200 °C (2,190 °F).

        • Watashi no Kokoro no Hi: Rabittofuxiito (私 の 心 の 火 [ラビットフィート], Fire in my Heart: Rabbit Feet)
          Type: Offensive/Mental Callout/Activated
          Yori launches off with her left foot into a zigzag motion that renders her invisible to the eyes of those below Captain status and even then, the lowest of them only see the briefest blurs. She continues in this fashion until she is approximately one foot away from her target. At this point, her swords are drawn and thrown upwards so that she can catch them below the hilt. Once caught, the weapons are ablaze and Yori proceeds to strike with them in a manner that resembles a kicking rabbit but is much quicker and more aggressive. Actually, from the first strike, a giant, flaming rabbit appears and his hind legs moving with the blades. The time span for this is half a minute but the strikes are much slower than those of Watashi no Kokoro no Hi: Kixyouki wo Kaku (私 の 心 の 火 [狂気 を 掻く], Fire in my Heart: Scratching Madness) so much so that only fifteen hits are made. However, instead of scratches, these are deep plunges of the blade into the body of the target at points such as the limbs, head and core. The combined temperature of both the rabbit and the swords are a stable 1,200 °C (2,190 °F).

        • Watashi no Kokoro no Hi: Saisei (私 の 心 の 火 [再生], Fire in my Heart: Rebirth)
          Type: Offensive/Defensive/Verbal or Mental Callout/Activated
          For this technique, Yori crosses her blades in the form of a cross and upon stating the attack title, the swords glow white with a heat intensity of 1,300 °C (2,370 °F) before that is released in the form of a great phoenix. When on the offense, the flaming bird flies into opponent with the intention of piercing him or her through his or her core and burning him or her outward from that point or wherever that it manages to hit. With reference to defense, the bird stays on the crossed swords and acts as a shield for Yori as the female does not move to elude the coming attack. When the attack is completed, the spot where they were is cleared except for a pile of ashes. A few seconds later, both appear in a ball of fire at some other area of the battlefield. Yori is healed now of all previous injuries and mal-effects that may be active at that point in time because of the "rebirth" characteristic of the mythical creature. The phoenix, now a baby, glows one more time before fading away. Due to the temperature of this attack, the majestic bird is unnaturally white in colour. Also, unlike the abilities, all of the fiery heat goes with the bird so that the blades are not on fire once it flies away from them during the offensive technique.

        • Watashi no Kokoro no Hi: Gouri ka Shiifu (私 の 心 の 火 [合理 化 シーフ], Fire in my Heart: Streamline Thief)
          Type: Offensive/No Callout/Passive
          This is such a quick attack that calling its name would slow it down especially since it is an automatic offense. Of course, it can be used conciously but it is more likely to happen in the heat of the battle. Whenever the swords, lighted or not, form a horizontal X, a fire that resembles the face and body of a fox appears and launches itself at the opponent immediately with the intention of biting into the target's face. Of course, there are no bite wounds but the affected area is burnt severely as the fox is a stable 1,400 °C (2,550 °F). Its colour is white as that of the phoenix but much brighter. This is considered a close range attack and might not even occur when Yori is aware of making the X. However, knowledge of what is needed to make the fox appear allows her the option to use it at long distances as well. In such instances, the fox runs towards its target and pounces at his or her face. Its heat and fire stretches with it from the flaming swords. It will be hottest at the head.

        • Watashi no Kokoro no Hi: Howaito Roddo (私 の 心 の 火 [ホワイト ロッド], Fire in my Heart: White Rod)
          Type: Offensive/Verbal Callout/Activated
          This is the most powerful of all the abilities available in Bankai to Yori as it is the most intense with regards to heat as well as most durable. It can be used in conjunction with other Bankai offenses or defenses or by itself as a separate attack. The swords are held parallel to each other in line in relation to Yori's body. As with the phoenix, they glow white at first but this time, it is much more dazzling than the bird and fox combined. Slowly, the glow begins to take the shape of a horse. Yori is able to ride this horse, using the still glowing swords as the reigns. The animal can be used be used a way to charge towards or away from the enemy and it does not touch the ground while running. If stopped, the horse fades away but the heat is on the swords until Yori crosses them in whatever manner. The level of heat is a stable 1,500 °C (2,730 °F) and the swords are the hottest object throughout this attack as they are the ones to deliver the blow to the target.


Obtained?: No

Uxiroo (ウィロー, Willow) appears to be a normal stack of cards in that she has a design on her back as well as contains fifty-two cards in all. However, that is where the normalcy of this sealed state ends for her. On each of the cards, random facts about water are stated for only her wielder to read. Upon her release, a feeling of fullness is unleashed in a circular motion from that position outward but it lasts for only for a few seconds. Uxiroo, also known as Roo-sama, is the polar opposite of her sister in almost all ways imaginable. Her physical appearance is that of a child which puts her at least two feet shorter than Yori. She is a very easy going yet assertive spirit whereas Noko is simply aggressive. The only thing that she has in common with her sister is that she has taken on the role of a mythical deity as well, namely Mizuhame. Like Mizuhame, Roo’s responsibility is to look out for her sibling as well as to pacify her anger if it ever comes to that.

  • Shikai: It is triggered by the command, Hida (ひだ, Fold) Due to her more relaxed or at least, traditional composure, Uxiroo’s deck of cards is halved and morphs into two paper fans.

    • Shikai Special Ability: Uzumaku Mizu (渦巻く 水, Billowing Water) Similar to how her sister’s fire abilities cannot be used without Yori’s deck of cards, so too can Uxiroo’s water-based attacks cannot be used without or outside of the paper fans while in Shikai. Each attack or defense has its own dance sequence upon activation unless the contrary is stated otherwise. While the sequences are graceful in their entirety, they are swift and quick to the average eye.

      • Chansu wo Ikasu (チャンス を 生かす, Take Trick)
        Type: Defensive/Verbal Callout/Activated
        As the name suggests, this ability employs the use of a decoy. Upon stating the command and executing the proper dance-like movements, a water clone of Yori is drawn from the girl’s body. Due to its less than human makeup, the clone can only last for one post which should provide enough time for Yori to escape and do whatever it is that she has to do. It cannot attack or defend against the opponent; its main purpose is to switch places with Yori in whatever situation of danger.
        Movements: Both fans are held above the head before the left hand is brought down in a swinging motion that turns the body 360 degrees while the right fan comes down to meet its partner at shoulder level.

      • Kussetsu (屈折, Refraction)
        Type: Defensive/No Callout/Passive
        Similar to her sister’s Shoumetsu sa Seru (消滅 さ せる, Disintegrate), Kido spells up to #50 are repulsed by a swipe of both fans in its direction. Unfortunately, it is not destroyed but simply, redirected elsewhere so that Yori will be out of harm’s way. The command or title does not have to be said and it is always in effect.

      • Chikuseki (蓄積, Accumulation)
        Type: Offensive/Verbal or Mental Callout/Activated
        By using the correct motions, Yori is able to convert an oncoming attack person into pressurized water, except for electrical, wind and fire, and send it back at the opponent within seconds of it reaching her. The conversion doubles the force and speed of it.
        Movements: Her arms stretch out at shoulder length and the fans swirl in opposite directions; the right turns counterclockwise while the left one turns clockwise.

      • Sakana ga Oyogu (魚 が 泳ぐ, Fishes swim)
        Type: Defensive/Verbal Callout/Activated
        Two streams of pressurized water shoot out from the ends of the closed fans. They entangle both the target's arms to their sides and their legs to together, both above and under the knee. The streams are constantly in motion, which increases the difficulty of the person's escape. The strength of this ability is on par with that of Bakudō #63: Sajō Sabaku (鎖条鎖縛, Locking Bondage Stripes).

      • Soritexia (ソリティア, Solitaire)
        Type: Defensive/Offensive/Mental or Verbal Callout/Activated
        This ability allows Yori to alter her biological makeup to resemble that of water. However, this transformation cannot hold the shape of her body so it is used more for attacks and defenses. It can only be used after 4 posts of Shikai since it is a preliminary to Uxiroo’s Bankai ability. She did not want it to be a total shock whenever it is that Yori achieved it.

        • Mizutamari (水たまり, Puddle)
          Type: Defensive/Verbal Callout/Activated
          Once Soritexia (ソリティア, Solitaire) is in play, Yori's whole body morphes into a water puddle as a way of dodging an extremely fast oncoming offence. If someone slips in the puddle, it was an accident. She can hold this form for up to 2 posts but it is not necessary.
          Movements: Yori stands with the fans out at her sides, shoulder-level, before stooping down and bring them in a sweeping motion down to her feet. Once they are there, the transformation occurs instantly.

        • Kihou (気泡, Bubbles)
          Type: Defensive/Verbal Callout/Activated
          Yori becomes a giant water bubble to protect others against fire-based attacks, even Gillian Cero. The size of the spherical shape depends on the size of the group but it would be big enough so that the temporary inhabitants come to no harm. The length of this form being held is as long as the duration of attack.
          Movements: The fans, one in each hand, are swung shut and held tightly as Yori sends her body in a tumbling motion through the air. Once she lands, her hands press the closed fans against the ground and she takes the form of the water bubble around the desired group of potential victims.

        • Gaizaa (ガイザー, Geyser)
          Type: Offensive/Mental Callout/Activated
          The third and last of the possible transformations under Soritexia (ソリティア, Solitaire). Due to the movements associated with this attack, Yori is able to transfer the momentum and take the form of a miniature, water-based typhoon that is aimed at the opponent's chest, specifically the heart area. The intention is to hit it in such a manner and with enough force that the heart stops upon impact. This is a one direction attack but everything occurs in one swirling, swift motion that it is hard to detect but not impossible.
          Movements: Yori's bends at the waist towards the opponent and begins spinning in a controlled manner with her hands outstretched on both sides until she morphes completely into the desired form.


Obtained?: No

  • Bankai: Kami Redii: Uxiroo (神 レディー [ウィロー], Divine Lady: Willow) Uxiroo’s card deck morphes into a blue, black and silver set of three swords, namely one katana, one kodachi and one wakizashi.

    • Bankai Special Ability: Umi no Essensu (海 の エッセンス, Essence of the Ocean) Similar to her sister’s Bankai, Yori’s body undertakes another transformation where she is being of a particular element, in this case clear, blue water. Her senses and ability to speak are still intact. The shocking part of this alteration is what clothing she has to wear while this Bankai is active. Her previous garments wash away on a breeze while new cloth crawls over her water body to cover the lower half only. The top half of her, specifically the bust area, appears to be in the buff but that is not completely true. Her breasts are covered by a wrap made of oxygen. Her motions are very graceful in this form.

      One benefit of this biological alteration is that any normal, offensive advances that are made against her body such as slashing, stabbing or bodily contact do not work unless she is distracted. This is because her body is made out of purely water and the offense would simply fall through her. However, it has to be a conscious act as it works the same way when she is attacking with her body. It has to be firm as though it were a normal body part unless her intention is to splash the body part over the target. Also, the ability to form a puddle on command from her Shikai is not available in this form. A problem would be that she leaves actual wet footprints wherever she walks as well as that if she is evaporated by the genius of some person, she cannot return to a physical body-like form for 3 of that person's posts. However, her Bankai is still active and the swords will lodge themselves in the nearest surface until she returns to normalcy. They cannot be removed by anyone other than her, Nokoribi and Uxiroo.

      • Watashi no Kokoro no Ken: Mizu (私 の 心 の 剣 [水], The Sword of my Hearts: Water) Despite the use of three swords, this is a two sword fighting style that Yori created while she was alive. It is based on the various types of water as well as the organisms that live in the sea.

        • Watashi no Kokoro no Mizu: Kibou no Kabe (私 の 心 の 水 [希望 の 壁], Water in my Heart: Wall of Hope)
          Type: Defensive/Verbal Callout/Activated
          The katana and kodachi are used for this ability. The latter is held in a straight vertical line by one hand while the former is held in a straight horizontal line beneath it. Yori does this while kneeling on the leg that is opposite to the hand that holds the kodachi. The swords glow blue before she says the name of the defense. Once the words leave her lips, a normal-sized sea lion appears and makes circles around her in almost every direction possible, sometimes disappearing into the earth to come back up again. This movement forms a clear barrier around Yori and whoever else is within her circle of personal space that protects them barely from high level attacks such as Gran Rey Cero. This means that they will survive but will be affected by the potency of it.

        • Watashi no Kokoro no Mizu: Hiiringusutaa (私 の 心 の 水 [ヒーリングスター], Water in my Heart: Healing Star)
          Type: Defensive/Verbal Callout/Activated
          The wakizashi is the only one in the set that does not employ the ghost of a creature. There is an actual starfish on its hilt. When Yori places the palm of her hand on it, the starfish is able to absorb the salt from her body in order to cleanse the wounds that it heals. The healing is done by Yori drawing blood from an unharmed area of the victim's body so that the regeneration characteristics of the sea creature and the cleansing ones of the salt can enter the body. Unfortunately, the process is very painful and lasts for 3 of Yori's posts. The healing takes care of all wounds, whether caused in battle or not, except for growing limbs back. The most is that it allows the skin to cover the affected part.

        • Watashi no Kokoro no Mizu: Ko Miya no Shi (私 の 心 の 水 [故 宮 の 死], Water in my Heart: Forbidden Death)
          There is a reason that there is a live starfish on the wakizashi. That is the only creature that Uxiroo deemed able to seal the true and highly dangerous power of the smallest blade of the set. In order to unleash it, salt must be rubbed onto the starfish before pulling it off the hilt. The amount of salt depends on if Watashi no Kokoro no Mizu: Hiiringusutaa (私 の 心 の 水 [ヒーリングスター], Water in my Heart: Healing Star) was used previous to this. Either way, Yori just needs to separate it from her body and rub it in there. However, all of this must be followed quickly by one of the three offenses available because the sword will unleash all three into the immediate atmosphere, namely Yori and whoever is in her circle of personal space.

          • Ko Miya no Shi: Furiizu (故 宮 の 死 [フリーズ], Forbidden Death: Freeze)
            Type: Offensive/Verbal Callout/Activated
            The bare wakizashi is held in the right hand with the blade pointing left and the left hand is open and presses its back to that of the right hand. A light blue sphere appears around the hand seal before Yori states the name of the attack and a blizzard escapes from the front of the clenched right hand. It has winds over 56 km/h (35 mph) and extremely low temperatures that can freeze the opponent on impact, despite distance.

          • Ko Miya no Shi: Dassui Suru (故 宮 の 死 [脱水 する], Forbidden Death: Dehydrate)
            Type: Offensive/Mental Callout/Activated
            This offense depends on distance. Yori has to be close to the target in order to strike the blade of the wakizashi into his or her body. Once in, all water and moisture bleeds rapidly from the wound and all other openings of the body. Ultimately, these effects last for 2 of Yori's post which end in complete dehydration of the body.

          • Ko Miya no Shi: Doraun (故 宮 の 死 [ドラウン], Forbidden Death: Drown)
            Type: Offensive/Verbal Callout/Activated
            Yori has to be close for this one as well but not necessarily close enough to strike the target. While saying the name of the attack, she writes the Kanji for 'drown' in the air with the wakizashi. This action unlocks the water in the air and causes it gather at the feet of the opponent and shoot upwards in the shape of a typhoon. The typhoon, once taller than its victim, morphes into a sphere of water that negates all fire-based attacks while ultimately drowning whoever is caught within it.

Other Powers and Abilities

  • Strategist & Tactician
    Naturally, she makes a point to observe those around her since it allows her the knowledge of which topics to have a laugh about or not. Of course, her humour is not like everyone else's. This observatory nature has lead to her ability to look at situations from an odd yet helpful standpoint, whether on the battlefield or not. She is capable of setting the pace in a fight for her advantage, usually slow, while keeping most of her abilities unknown to the other person. Once presented with hints of how things are, Yori has been known to make a few accurate predictions about what will happen, whether with regards to how a situation plays out or what could be the rest of her opponent's possible abillities and tricks.

  • Intermediate Swordsmanship Specialist
    She has grown with Kendo and Kenjutsu throughout her life by choice. Her abilities, while alive, were at times unparalleled but for the most, she was talented in both parts. This is illustrated by her ambition to create her own fighting style. Unfortunately, the purpose of this fighting style is not kept with her through her passing away but is only available to her through her Bankai. However, the skills that allowed her the thought of creating it have not been tarnished. She depends more on speed than brute strength when in combat and it shows in her smooth control of the blade as it defends her.


Miscellaneous Information
  • Likes: Sarcasm, Katanas, Games
  • Dislikes: Happy...stuff, Memory loss, open kindness
  • Fears: Waking to no recollection of her past life, losing her abilities
  • Special Skills: Fluent in French.

  • Shoumetsu sa Seru
    #70 seems high for a low-level Shikai... maybe #50 is more appropriate.
  • Shuutexingu Sutaa
    One Shuriken from a low-level Shinigami killing a Gillian which usually take some effort from a Lieutenant is a bit much. I can see the move as a whole working well like Uryuu's new bow to wipe out a group of 100 hollow, but not a Gillian per Shuriken.
  • Kussetsu
    Again, #70 is kinda high.
  • Chikuseki
    Define "direct attack." While certainly forceful, pressurized water would not be able to send every sort of attack back. Electrical attacks come to mind, so do wind attacks, as well high-level fire attacks like Yuki's Gōka Rekka.
