Zanpakuto
Spirit's Name- Gijouhei(Guard of honor)
Sealed Appearance- A rather simple black lacquered tanto blade with sheath. the handle and sheath hold ornate white flowers along the sides.
Spirit's Description- An armor clad samurai who's face is veiled behind a steel mask, his yellow eyes glow through the slots in the mask unnaturally.
Shikai Release Phrase- Strive forth, Gijouhei
Shikai Description- The Tanto becomes a pair of ornate black fans embossed with intricate ivory flowers.
Abilities- Gijouhei is a rare zanpakuto that is almost entirely focused into kidou during shikai. The design holds the secret behind its power as when waved through the air sharp petals form which can easily cut and embed into flesh where they release a toxin that saps at one's motor functions. These petals can be controlled by Natsuki through even the smallest motions of the fans.
Bankai- Achieved
Bankai Release Phase- Zenshou(complete victory)
Bankai Description- Gijouhei takes a drastic turn in bankai becoming a pair of gauntlets that ride up the arms till just under the biceps. the ornate black lacquered coloring stays through and the white flowers stretch past the gauntlets and cover all the black parts of her uniform in the intriguing design.
Abilities- the gauntlets are entirely useless in utilizing kidou becoming powerful armored weapons. Reitsu is compacted into the gauntlets making them unable to be cut by other zanpakuto of equal caliber. The gauntlets can grip and pull, sometimes breaking, kidou and reiatsu that are used as seals and barriers. the gauntlets seem to augment Natsuki's speed as well making her already speedy strikes even more frightening as she seems to be in a perpetual state of flash step when moving. the hardness of the gauntlets allow her to grab and deflect other zanpakuto with relative ease. They are considered the ultimate in defensive categories of zanpakuto.
Abilities
Natsuki is an expert in most forms of Kidou and has practiced and mastered Aikido, jujitsu and many variants that are designed to combat armed foes. Though she is well versed in most Kidou her strength lies in the restrainment kidous that are available and often fuses them making it difficult to escape any restraints she sets forth. She also excels in combat strategy and tactics and has been used in many missions to devise plans. She has mastered traditional Hapkido. Her reiatsu is extremely high making her unsuppressed levels rivaling that of a Captain in spiritual pressure. She has unparalleled spiritual control.
History
Human World- Natsuki had the unfortunate luck to be born in a time where wars were quite common in Japan. A simple farmer in life she developed a studious work habit in the fields ensuring her village would have at least some food for the winter seasons. As fate would have it the war that had been ongoing had reached her village's doorstep. While escorting other villagers, namely children, to safety she was hit in the back from a stray arrow as an army had marched through the village. Falling to the ground she saw the children she tried to rescue escape safely through the fields before her vision went black.
Early Soul Society- Once in soul society she met a similar life to that of her former. She tilled the fields and harvested crops for the many residents of the society. Her reitsu level was noticed while fending off some rather unsavory spirits who had been tormenting others, clearly not able to let their past lives go. striking them down caught the attention of the 13 court guard and she was taken in for training, a rare privilege for 'common' souls. While training she excelled in Kidou and tactics and was quickly assigned a seat in the 6th division.
In the 13 Court Guard Squads- Once in the 6th Division she gained a solid record for completing many tasks and upon gaining Shikai with her zanpakuto became a lieutenant under Captain Yasumeh Uratigi easily making the 6th squad a formidable force in the 13 court guards. Their calm yet clashing personalities did wonders for the structure of the 6th Division and it is likely well respected in soul society.
