Name: Watanabe Yumi, usually just goes by Yumi
(pronounced WA TA NA BAY YOO MEE)
Age: 18
Aliases/ Nicknames: none yet, but she wouldn't mind some.
Physical Description:
Yumi has a peachy skin tone, and mousy brown hair that goes to her shoulders, the cut having messy bangs as well. She's around 5"5 tall, and skinny. Her eyes are violet. She wears Jean cargo pants as of late and netting shirts with a royal blue bodice over top when out for a fight. On her right arm is her Sanrei glove, and on her left is a fingerless blue glove. She wears a ratty and torn blue cloak when she's patrolling at night. When just hanging around town she prefers hoodies or tank tops depending on the weather, and flared jeans. She's always in her spring loaded boots, and loathes heels.
Quincy Cross: Her Quincy cross is hanging on a fine black chain, and is white with a blue edge to it. She keeps it stuffed in her pockets at most times. When she uses it she can use the basic Quincy bow, and has mastered the shooting speed and accuracy to this bow types' extent.
Special Accessories: Yumi wears a pair of boots with a built in spring step in the sole, she she can jump a good metre higher than normal, though she uses it mostly cause of her short stature.
She now also has the sanrei glove, which is a great amplifier of her bow's strength, and she wears it on her right hand. No one has really commented since she always used to wear her fingerless gloves, still does on her left, so its not suspicious.
Silver Tubes:
Heizen (2 in stock & on person)
(聖噬, haizen; German for "Heating" Japanese for St. Zei) — This technique creates a transparent, rectangular beam of energy from silver tubes which slices through the opponent. It is activated by the command "Feel the wrath of battle and accept this sacred chalice - Sacred Bite!" (大気の戦陣を杯に受けよ)
Gritz (1 in stock & on person)
(五架縛, gurittsu Japanese for Five Construct Limt) — This technique forms a man-sized pentacle symbol which envelops its target. It is activated by the command "A silver rod strikes the five-fingered stone bed - Quintuple Restraining Frames!" (銀鞭下りて五手石床に堕つ)
Wolke (1 in stock & on person)
(緑杯, vorukōru; German for "Cloud", Japanese for "Green Cup") — This technique uses a silver tube to create a large blast. While it may not be intended for use as such, Uryū uses it to cushion the impact of a fall. It is activated by the command "Tilt the goblet to the west - Emerald Grail!" (盃よ西方に傾け)
Recently, she also has started carrying a set of 4 Seele Schneiders.
She has not mastered their use as of yet, but is apt enough to bring them into battle.

Skills: Yumi is a great marksman, her aim is impeccable at a distance, but she is has trouble fighting within a 3 metre range. She also has a very perceptive sense for reiatsu, more than some other Quincys even, but doesn't quite use it right half the time. Though she doesn't carry around much equipment besides her cross and glove, her speed with her arrows has grown rapidly ever since she started training with Serza and other Quincys. She can fire off over 20 shots in a second while aiming, more if loose firing. And from practice, she can dodge most reishi arrows if it is a single shot without a second thought, having trained her body so well in reacting by getting just enough out of the way, even if its only an inch and it scorches by.
Additional Abilties
-Hirenkyaku (Quincy equivalent to flash step)
-Reiryoku Manipulation
-Full mastering of Sanrei glove
Personality: Yumi is a tomboy, and acts like it, never into too girly things. She can chat until she loses her voice easily, and is not shy in the slightest. She gets mad when she gets called something and always tries to make a snide comment back. She can be pessimistic at times, but tends to try to have fun when she can. And of course she's a short fuse when it comes to temper.
Changes since Timeskip:
Yumi's personality became bolder over this time, less short tempered and more serious. Her sarcasm stuck however. She kept her hair cut the same but wears tighter tops and baggier pants, which was just a change in direction she mad
e for the sake of it.
Biography/History: When she was only a baby the house Yumi lived in caught fire and her parents were killed. She was adopted by the Watanabe family who lived down the street, who used to be good friends of her parents. Having two adoptive siblings in this family Yumi grew in a pretty normal household.
She always could sense and see spirits but didn't like to talk about it, and thought it was because maybe when she was little she had seen her parents die and that had changed her somehow. She proved her theory wrong though when exploring her old house, that was since abandon, and found a few books unharmed by the fire in the basement about the Quincy clan. She found her family's information, as well as a Quincy cross in the rubble. Since then she has being trying to figure out how to use her powers from the books in secret.
After that she ran into Serza Bulfer, a fellow Quincy, and they used her house as a headquarters, where others, like Shio, Asai, Yuhng and Ritosune showed up. During many battles in Karakura town the Quincy worked out of that very HQ, but Yumi focused more on training than the battle, socializing with her clan when they were around at the least.
At a point Serza vanished, and that left Yumi as the most experienced Quincy, albeit the youngest.
After Shio disappeared, without a closer peer in the Quincy group, Yumi strayed a bit from the HQ, showing up less and less, training more on her own or with Yuhng. While focusing a bit more on school, she realized a sudden surge in Hollow activity. She trained strenuously on her own, mastering her sanrei glove as well as lots of other techniques. When she got to her second last year in school, her marks started dropping from her lack of attention to her studies while she focused on training and Hollow hunting
