林茎子 Hayashi Kukiko
Aliases/ Nicknames:
I was known as "Kuki-chan" among my friends when I was alive. Now that I've died, I reallly haven't gained any new nicknames and no one has really called me by my original one, aside from my little brother when we were in Rukongai. Now I'm simply known as Kukiko.
Physical Description:
I have short hot pink hair that extends in the back only to the bottom of my neck and my bangs extend to about a third of teh way down my chest. When I'm doing something for the Captain or when I'm fighting I'll wear my hair in a short braid behind me. I tend to have a problem with my bangs in which they tend to hang down in to my face when I feel rather nervous. I look to be around 9 or 10 years of age. My height is 4' 4" so I'm about normal height I guess. Also I have bright blue eyes that seem overly large compare to other people's. A few times I have been told that I resemble Yachiru but aside from my hair, I don't really see how.
Squad:
Unseated member of squad (blank)
Zanpakutō: Piikokkuhana (Flower Peacock) will come when I use the comand "Fly".
Spirit:
Sealed form: When my zanpaktō is in it's sealed form, it looks like a sakabatō.
Sealed:
Shikai: (not achieved)
Hane ken Hana: In Piikokkuhana's Shikai state I grow peacock feathers behind me and shot them off like blades. I can also use flowers as tiny blades as well, quite similar to Captin Kuchiki's Senbonzakura.
Hana Goji: I can also use flowers to create a shield to keep myself, or others who I choose, from being hurt, but like all shields, it isn't impossible to break.
Bankai: (not achieved)
Piikokku seme Hana Seki: In my zanpaktō's Bankai form, I can summon a flock of peacocks to attack my target and then use flowers to create a barrier around them.
Yumi ken Yadake Hane: In this stage, my sword will turn into a bow and I am able to fire powerfull peacock feathers at my target. My bow isn't like a Quicy's though. It still has the power to save a Hollow.
Bow:
Reiatsu:
My reiatsu is hot pink, a similar shade to my hair colour but only a little lighter. When I get really mad a hot pink reiatsu panther will apear.
Special Accessories:
After my parents had died, I found an envelope with my name on it from my mother. Inside was a necklace with the kanji 和 (Harmony) evgraved on it. I have worn it ever since that day. I also wear pink sleeves over my kimono. They only cover a small section of it though, so I'm not really sure what to call them ((see avatar to know what I'm talking about)). I like to wear a sakura blossom hairpin in my hair for no real reason.
Skills:
Despite my size, I can run very fast, though I haven't learned Flash Step yet.
Abilities:
I can use some kidō, but not very high ranking ones. Only 1-10 in Bakudō and Hadō.
Personality:
I'm shy when I meet new people, but them again, many people are like that. Once I get to know someone I'm able to joke around and have fun and be who I really am with them. I guess what has led to my extreme shyness is the fact that when I was alive I would get bullied a lot due to my hair, kinda' like Ichigo. I never had the courage to stand up to them though. I also act like a very young girl. I love playing and messing around. I also like to play pracks on others. Though when it's time for something important I'll stop my childish anticts and do something to help.
Biography/History:
I was born in Japan and when I was 7 my parents and my little brother were killed by many hollows. I have always been able to see ghosts and so has my brother. When we were attacked, my brother and I were the only ones who were able to see the creatures, which at the time I had no idea what they were. My family was killed and I was alone for what seemed to be the longest while. When I was 10, I was walking around, trying to avoid people's glances, mostly because I don't like people feeling sorry for me and they knew what had happened to me and my family, and out of no where, a hollow came and killed me after sensing the amount of Spiritual Pressure that I was giving off, unknowingly, before I could react. I didn't stay in the world of the living any longer than was needed and very quickly, I entered the Soul Society after the shinigami in the area performed a konsō on me. I met up with my brother, who had been taken in by a very nice old woman, almost as soon as I entered.
