Physical Description: Aika is small in stature but not lacking in physical strength. She is lean and powerful though looking at her she doesn't seem to be very strong. She has long strawberry blond hair that goes down to her waist. It is slightly wavy so that when the sun catches it just right it looks almost like blood stained gold. Her eyes are the color of turquoise though when she gets angry a hint of red outlines the irises making them nearly fluoresce. She has a pretty face. Her skin is slightly tanned from days training in the sunshine but soft because of how well she takes care of it. The only flaw to her beauty is a jagged reminder across her back. The scar reaches from shoulder to shoulder. She loves to wear the color purple. Any style, any fabric as long as it is purple.
Personality: Aika is a very mixed person. Her personality seems to change depending on her mood. Normally she is a kind person. She is very outspoken and blunt. At times it seems as if she has no care for other's emotions, though she really does. She prefers to tell the truth though if it comes down to it she is an amazing liar. She is hard to deceive. People trying to impress her often annoys her. When she gets angry, which isn't always easy to do but sometimes is, she becomes like a freight train, very hard to stop. She can be hard to read but if she wants you to know something she will come right out and express it. She is very level headed and hard to scare or surprise. She is very reliable and a very quick thinker. Every once in a while, though, she loses all control of herself and goes on a mad killing spree. She is not very mentally stable and often does or says things that make absolutely no sense. She also has a strong liking for blood and fighting.
Zanpakutou:
Zanpakutou Spirit: Aika’s Zanpakutou spirit is that of a large butterfly dragon. Her body is a deep royal purple and her wings are a soft see through lavender. She is a powerful looking creature with long claws and teeth, but has an outstanding amount of grace and beauty. The spirit is gentle and is a lot like Aika in personality. She is a little more forceful though than her shinigami counterpart.
Inner World: A mountain pyre looking over a large grassland.
Sealed Form: Sealed Aika’s zanpakutou is a long thin scimitar. The blade is a light purple and has a thin ridge running down the center of the curved blade. The handle looks as if it is made of delicate butterfly wings and the guard is nearly translucent except for a slight lavender tinge to it.

Shikai Description: The blade stays almost the same except that it glows a light lavender.
Shikai Powers/Attacks:
Ghost Blade-The blade of Aika’s zandakutou flashes and dissapears. It can pop out of nowhere, except inside someone or something only air, and is controlled by Aika’s will.
War Glass-Aika’s zanpakutou melts and becomes liquid glass. It's clear form slithers up around her apponent feet and suddenly shoots up into glass walls surrounding her target. It is stronger than normal glass but still breakable. Aika can make the enclosure expand and contract and shatter at will. When the glass shatters, it takes a little while to once again become her sword.
(Not obtained yet) Bankai Name/Release Phrase: Fulgente Lilla Amare
Bankai Description: A blinding light seems to engulf the blade extending from the ridge outward.
Bankai Powers/Attacks:
Diamond Release-Aika’s zanpakutou shatters to become millions of tiny diamond strong pieces of glass. She moves them on a slight wind that is controlled by slight movements of her hands.
Butterfly Glass-When the blade shatters Aika has a choice between her normal attack and turning the shards into millions of tiny butterflies. These butterflies reflect and enhance light so that they become tiny blinding flashes. The wings of the butterflies are tiny diamond shards. they are controlled by the same wind and hand movements.
Pillar of Remorse-While Aika’s sword is still in one piece she can cause a giant pillar of light to appear below her enemy's feet. They then become trapped inside the light and are forced to watch their past mistakes and saddest moments over and over again. (note: this is not an attack she likes to use)
Special Accessories: A lavender ribbon that ties back her. A small lavender dagger that is a miniature replica of her zanpakutou. There is nothing special about the weapon, except that it can extend to be an exact replica when raitsu is applied. This is her back-up weapon thus it has no special abilities.

Biography/History: Aika lived a pretty normal life with her parents and younger sister. She was trained in the martial arts from the time she was a young child but she never found it very challenging. She was a natural at it and after some time almost found it to be boring.
One of her instructors began to notice this, he knew of a way to make martial arts more challenging and more rewarding for her. He began to talk to her about the underground fight circuit. Aika was in, she could truly test her skills, have something to do on a slow day, and could make big bucks. She quickly gained a name for herself in the underground, taking on and destroying opponents that would seem to be out of her league.
After four years of fighting and getting near constant wins, she decided to take on the champion in her town. This would be the biggest fight of her young life. A champion fight was no ordinary fight, it was to the death, no holds barred, and the current champion could use whatever extra weapons that he wished while Aika was limited to her surroundings at the designated fight spot. Aika arrived early to the area, scouted it out before anyone else showed up. The area was an abandoned warehouse, they would draw a huge circle in the center of the floor marking the arena. If she were to step outside this circle she would automatically lose, it was a special rule made just for this fight with her. She knew the only way she could win would be to use everything she knew and any opportunities that came along. She would have to fight hard and fight dirty to win, though there really was no such thing as fighting dirty in this world.
She waited patiently for her opponent to arrive, knowing he would show late for dramatic effect like he always did. As he approached she smirked, he had chose this fight of all fights to bring along his katana. She knew he would do that, so predictable. Whenever someone challenged him for his rank, he always brought along that sword. Though she knew it was pointless, she knew how to defend against a sword without any weapons, and she knew that there was a long metal pipe she could use just outside of the arena, all she would have to do was reach for it and not even step foot outside the circle.
The battle begun, both just using physical strength and skill. Aika had the advantage in skill, though she was a lot smaller than her opponent and did not have as much muscle strength as he did. She was about to win, about to come up behind him and snap his neck, ending him for good, but that’s when it all went bad. He grabbed the katana so quickly, slashed the blood stained blade along her chest so fast she couldn’t react. The pain seared through her and she fell forward onto the ground, soaking it with blood. She couldn’t move she was in too much pain, he had cut deep and the blade wasn’t as sharp as it should have been causing it to tear more than cut. As she lay there helpless, he laughed down at her. In the last moments before he knew she would die, he dug the jagged blade through her back making sure to sever her spine.
Aika awoke, finding herself in soul society. She was totally alone in a back alleyway. The ground she lay on reeked of sewage and dirt. She slowly rose, remembering everything that had happened. Her body ached especially her back. She knew she had to be dead, no one could have lived through that, she reached back and felt the long jagged scar.
“So this is where you go when you die huh, a disgusting back alleyway.” She grumbled to herself as she stood and tried to clean herself off. She was still wearing what she had when she fought, a pair of jeans and a soft purple t-shirt. “Not everyone, just the street fighters like us, Butterfly,” replied a soft male voice from above her. Aiki looked up quickly, the voice was familiar and it had called her by her pet name. All she saw was a dark silhouette of a man standing on the roof above her. “Who is that?” she asked quietly trying to shield her eyes so she might get a better view of him. The man jumped down and landed next to her, placing his hand on her shoulder he smiled. She recognized him now and burst into tears as she hugged the man tightly. The man hugged her back tightly, stoking her hair to calm her down. “Sensei,” she sobbed into his chest. He had been the one who introduced her to street fighting, and he’s the one who died so that she could live.
Two years into fighting her life was threatened for the first time outside of a ring. She was walking down the street when an opponent she had defeated a month before came out of nowhere and attacked her from behind. She fought as hard as she could but she was about to lose. Then when she was about to give up a man came up behind the other and locked his arms behind his head. He told the young girl to run as fast as she could and not to look back. Aika listened and didn’t look back. Later that night she was watching the news and saw that her instructor had been stabbed through the heart where she had been attacked earlier that day. She cried for a week knowing now who had saved her.
In the soul society he had become a soul reaper and knew that Aika would do well to be one as well. He trained her in secret when he could until she was accepted into the academy. He was in squad three, so she aimed to be there as well. After a year of her training, he was sent out on a mission and never returned. She had lost her sensei again and fell into a pit of despair. She eventually came out of it but was never the same, she was mentally unstable and enjoyed fighting a little too much at times.
