Appearance: Yukumi Shizuka is a beautiful young woman that tends to dress herself down so she’s taken more seriously and appears more strict than gentle. Brilliant crystal blue eyes that are almost clear and long dark hair always drawn back in a simple ponytail. She doesn’t use make up but has a natural beauty to her face, regal elf like features. She wears the usual uniform of the Gotai 13 Soul Reapers and tends to have a pencil tucked behind one of her ears as well as a backpack. Her Zanpaktou is the usual katana with a small blue cord around the base of the hilt. (PLEASE provide a picture!)

Relationships: Knows the other members of her squad with a decent level of understanding.
Personality: Serious would be the best word to describe her. She tends to take her work very seriously and is either lost in study or working on the field to improve her martial skill. Seeking always to do the best job she can and help those around her to do the same.
Bio: Yukumi was 'born’ in a nicer area of the districts that surround the court squads. Her mother had been a soul reaper that vanished in the Precipice world when she was still very young. Her father was a tailor in town and she took up the family business under him. She had a few brothers and sisters but none that were actually related to her but one younger brother that she still visits from time to time. He and her father as well as one of her other ‘sisters’ work at the shop that he runs. Given it mostly gets business from soul reapers and their constantly torn or damaged uniforms it does rather well and most locals don’t mess with a shop frequented by the soul reapers.
At fourteen she showed a talent for spiritual energy by chasing down one of the few robbers that would dare to go after the place. A bit of a rudimentary flash step and she had been seen by upperclassmen Renji Abarai and he was the one that helped to arrange her entry into the school.
She had some difficulties getting involved, she wasn’t always the most gifted girl socially. Possessing a certain awkwardness added to her own drive to always get things perfect without cheating didn’t always win her fans in her class. It was during her second year at the college that the graduation ceremony took place. Amongst the students was the famous Kuchiki Rukia and so of the few captains in attendance Kuchiki Byakuya was one.
An instant fan and one of the soul reapers that would definitely buy the books of the captains if they are ever released.
She decided then that she wanted to be in the sixth squadron and worked all the harder at school...sometimes to the point that she would be scolded because she’d be ready to pass out on the field (generally dangerous if you are practicing swordplay).
Though she did end up in the top ten of her class by the time she finally finished. She wasn’t bad at sorcery but excelled more within the field of healing. She did all right martially and wasn’t too horrible with a flash step. When she left the school she had several people tell her she would do well within 4th squad but her heart and mind were elsewhere. She got into the Sixth Squadron after her own graduation.
It took her years to work up through the ranks of the sixth squad to get to where she is. The position change is still a little recent, and sudden, so she’s hoping that she did something right. Now if she could just remember what that was and repeat...

Zanpakuto Name: Facet
Zanpakuto Appearance: Normally a mostly plain katana with the only change being a blue cord.
Zanpakuto Spirit: Her Zanpakuto's spirit is always seeming to change but always some sort of creature or person crafted from glass. Most often a German Shepard. Detailed down to each hair on the glass canine being it’s own thin strand of the clear material. When it moves the fur tinks together gently almost like a Wind chime, making it’s own music. Much happier and more excited than Yukuma, Facet’s personality is stunningly different. (image please! Or a really good description!)

Shikai Release incantation: Reflect Facet.
Shikai Appearance: The katana turns into glass thats as hard as any steel, cool or warm to the touch depending on the time of day. Night-cool, Day- warm.
Shikai Ability: Facet can make several (1-6) ‘reflections’ of Yukumi that she can physically jump between like a perfected flash step. The limit to this is that they all must be within line of sight to each other.
1: A secondary ability to this is to reflect a moment out of step to where she really is. Giving her a further edge on avoiding incoming attacks or having a further reach than the enemy may anticipate.
2: She’s still always trying to work and find more abilities to unlock with her blade. Currently she is still trying to master a technique that lets her temporarily blind her opponents. Though she’s still having trouble with it as it is less reliable without lots of light. With enough time and practice she’ll figure out how to augment it to reflect with only a minimal source.
3: She can allow her blade to shorten, which weakens the other attacks she has with it but when it does so it breaks down into tiny glass particle's in the air. She can do this to inject the pieces into a wound when she attacks making it effectly impossible to heal with the glass remains or more commonly into the air around her to leave for the targets to breath in. Which would be quite painful and disorienting. Calling the blade back together makes small slices in anyone that breathed in the fine pieces as it cuts through their flesh to return to it's normal place.
