Physical Description: Shione is an attractive, young-looking woman with yellow eyes, caramel tan skin and purple hair. Her hair grows down to just past her shoulders, and generally worn to one side. She has a thin body with rather curvaceous hips, and is nicely proportioned with regards to her bosoms. Shione wears the usual shinigami uniform, although she wears the kosode open save for a clip that holds it together just under her sternum. This creates a long v-neck look to the outfit whilst keeping her choice from being too revealing, and shows off her abdomen, which has a tribal tattoo of sorts circling her naval.
Personality: Shione is a sassy, rather discourteous woman to many of her fellow Shinigami, particularly those that are younger, of the same gender or lower than her in rank. Not that rank makes much more difference. She tends to save her more courteous and charming qualities for men she takes a particular interest in. However, she can be extremely genuine and caring to her friends and other Shinigami at times, seeing that gives the others more hope that she isn’t just proud and spiteful. Generally Shione does what appeases her and nothing more, unless enlightened with a scenario that better benefits her. In battle, she tends to go in hard and fast from the very start, and tries to keep her opponent on the back foot at all times, looking for the slightest opening to end the fight as quickly as possible. This can work against her, as she can become more impatient as the fight goes on.
Zanpakutou:
Zanpakutou Spirit:
The Zanpakutou Spirit is that of a tall, dark-skinned man with white wings. He has messy white hair, and his eyes are almost all yellow aside from his large black pupils. He wears a vest and pair of pants that are Byzantium/Purple in color, with a chainmail overskirt and arm wraps, both of the same color. The spirit wears gold bracelets over the wraps, as well as a pair of yellow sandals and a yellow sash tied around his waist. The spirit acts disdainfully towards Shione, often lashing out at her the moment he feels her presence within the Inner World. He often gives her abrupt answers, and will frequently argue or trade insults with her, further proving his distain. He treats her this way because of her lack of respect and self-centered volitions. Deep down, he knows that they must work together, and will commend her where praise is due.
Inner World:
The Inner World in Shione’s soul is a dark place, surrounded by numerous streaks of light that resemble fine feathers drifting through the dark space. They are an infinite distance away where neither the Spirit, nor Shione can physically touch them, unless they are manipulated in some way. The Spirit can, and usually does, arrange those streaks of light into the shape of an owl’s face, which no matter which way someone turns, will always be in that person’s view. The streaks of light can become a non-physical representation of anything that is desired of them by either Shione or her Zanpakutou Spirit, although Shione would only be able to do this after gaining Bankai.
Sealed Form:
Shione’s Zanpakutou takes the form of a tachi when it is in its sealed form. It is around 35 inches in length, with the blade itself being 24 inches long. The hilt is Byzantium in color, with a gold pommel and hand guard. The hand guard has a trim of white gold around the edge of it, and also around the blade slot. The hand guard is oval-shaped with the “sharper” round edges running perpendicular to the cutting edge of the blade, and within the oval is a black circle. As its name suggests, it looks like the eye of an owl, both in color scheme and appearence.
(Not obtained yet)Shikai Name and Release Phrase:
Baizou Tsume no Fukurou (倍増の梟); Double Talons of the Owl.
Release Phrase is “Rend flesh and bone from the body.”
Shikai Description:
Upon release, Baizou Tsume no Fukurou becomes a very different weapon altogether. It has a long link chain protruding from the otherwise unchanged hilt. At the end of the chain lies the rest of the weapon, two hooked scythe blades facing in the same direction positioned roughly a few inches apart. The scythe blades are attached either side of a metal plate that has four holes big enough for Shione to slot her fingers through, enabling her to use it in close combat if necessary. To stablise the weapon in flight, the chain branches off into two links that slot through tiny holes in the base of the plate, just behind the finger holes. The whole weapon is black in color, although there are several thin white lines that trail up the broad edges of the scythes, from the base of the blades to the tip.
Shikai Powers/Attacks:
Baizou Tsume no Fukurou is a double-bladed scythe on a chain, at least, that is what it appears to be when observed by others. Its shape and double bladed design means that it does not just cleanly cut through most things like a regular scythe, but can rip and tear like that of an owl’s talon ripping into prey. At full reach, it can cover roughly 20 meters. However, the Shikai release has a power that only adds to the formidability of it. It has the power to manipulate the mind in such a way that, whenever the foe comes close to the Zanpakutou in any way, they begin to feel disoriented and can lead to hallucinations. This ability is known as Senmou (譫妄; Delirium). While its power is constantly in use from the moment it is released, Baizou Tsume no Fukurou seemingly does nothing in many cases. An invisible field of Senmou covers an area of 20 meters around Shione in any direction, as well as an aura that covers her Zanpakutou as well as herself.
Senmou is a very mild effect on its own, barely managing to cause immediate delirious effects in unseated Shinigami. It heavily relies on the use of the weapon to wear the foe down and inflict serious injuries, since it is at that point the benefits of the ability shine through. The weaker the foe is both physically and mentally, the easier it is for Senmou to manipulate the foe. In rare cases, the opponent is so injured, fatigued and dejected from combat, that they are literally driven into hysteric dementure. Realistically, the physical weapon's unpredictability and deadliness finishes the opponent off just as they begin to notice the ability, let alone be driven utterly insane by it.

Biography/History:
Shione was born within Soul Society a long time ago, coming from a lesser known noble house. The Natsuki House was lesser known because for hundreds of years, they had not produced a single member that had both the knowledge and skill to become a Shinigami. The last soul adept enough to become a Shinigami was Shione’s father, who had become too ill to fulfill that duty now. Life was somewhat boring as a noble family, as Shione was the second oldest sibling and second in line as Head of the House, so she had to learn how to lead the Noble House just like her older brother. However, she was not well liked among the servants, her ill-manners were the main issue, and it was only her father that she gave respect to. Shione did not have many friends either, much rather spending her time playing the lute or harassing the younger male servants as she came of age. Fifty years ago, while in her adolescence, Shione showed a rare level of reiatsu that was enough to warrant becoming a Shinigami, but she refused whenever her father approached her with the idea.
However, 10 years ago, Shione’s father succumbed to illness, but on his deathbed asked his daughter to forgive his selfishness for asking her to become a Shinigami. She told his that it was fine, and that she would soon be enrolling there to study after years of deliberation. After hearing Shione’s change of mind, he was proud of her, finally able to call her a woman, he passed away. It took her years to study, and many attempts to pass the exam, but she eventually broke through the Academy and into the ranks of being a Shinigami of the Gotei 13, wearing the butterfly brooch he bought her as a child when she graduated.
