Appearance: Muscled beneath her tanned skin, Kuuya hides her face from the world behind a red lacquered Yamabushi Tengu mask. A fierce grimace graces the wooden face as it bares gold hued fangs to the world, and is surrounded entirely by a fall of voluminous white hair that falls to mid back while worn. Beneath the guise, Kuuya is a beauty beyond compare, with large lustrous lavender eyes enshrined by a lacing of deep red lashes. Between them sits a soft, well proportioned nose that over looks perfect cupids bow lips that if seen are rarely anything more then held in a straight and unyielding line. Framing her delicate features is shoulder length Crayola red hair, twisted into a knot and pinned in place by a simple black clip at the back of her head. Highlights of bright oranges and yellows add to the fiery play of locks and extend down from the crown of her head to mingle with the reds.
Clothing is if nothing else, simple for Kuuya. She wears what amounts to a regulation Shihakushou. Black hakama, white tabi, waraji and white obi, but she has replaced the black kosode with a deep red one in it stead. The only other additions to her attire is her zanpakutou at her left hip.
Personality: Aloof to the point of seeming as if she pays no attention to anyone or anything, Kuuya has been dubbed a flake or inattentive by nearly all of her teachers. Masked as she is, Kuuya’s expressions are lost beneath the red lacquered surface, so her unfettered memory is rarely seen. The truth is that she is far more attentive then the casual observer would perceive, she simply detest being forced to learn the same lessons twice. Not in the physical sense of training, but in idea or philosophical understanding. Why should she have to pay attention when she’s already well aware of what’s being discussed? Not one for speaking, Kuuya is often seen as mute, but for those who have spent even the shortest amount of time around her you will note that she will whisper to herself from time to time. Another facet of her that makes her somewhat of an oddity, the cause is her Zanpakutou spirits endless chatter in her head, although it has taken her years to realize what the voices really were and is still unable to name them beyond nicknames.
Socially, Kuuya is rather inept. She wishes for interaction and seek it out, but her quiet persona and dislike towards speaking makes it more then difficult to ever become close to someone. The same can be said for her use of a mask, Kuuya has absolutely no inclination to take off the covering unless in the company of someone she fully trusts. Despite her lack of social graces, she’s confident and not easily deterred from anything she’s set her mind to. In battle, she is just as quiet as in day to day life, but confident and doesn’t back down unless she is absolutely sure she has no chance at even the smallest victory.
Biography: Found loitering near the North gate, Kuuya was brought to the Academy by a passing student, intrigued as to the masked girl’s mumblings. Educated in relations between wielder and Zanpakutou in recent studies, the young man thought she’d make a wonderful show and tell. Then began her stay at the Academy. An oddity as she was, Kuuya wasn’t regarded as a student at first, but rather an experiment. She wouldn’t speak to anyone, seemed unable to focus and mentally inept. Her mumblings and nicknames for, what was eventually learned to be Tengu, spurred many of the instructors to view her as mad and not as what the young man had thought of her when she’d been brought in.
The turning point in her life thus far came shortly after her third year of living within the Academy. Kuuya attained a physical Zanpakutou and the change was noted immediately. The instructors gawked at the sudden appearance, and those who thought her mad had to take another look at the masked girl they come to watch over. Continuing their experiment, they put her to work in classes, which it seemed she paid little attention to. In truth, the quiet and standoffish Kuuya had heard the lectures over and over again, she wouldn’t give them a second glance, but when it came to physical training, she excelled.
If only for her diligence in physical training the Kuuya was considered a candidate to become a Shinigami, but her instructors still worried. Now less of an experiment, her mannerisms were beginning to be pieced together by those around her and revelation as to her personality sent them reeling. What they had assumed was an unintelligent ragamuffin, delusional and mad was Kuuya, a socially awkward girl, plagued by the voices of her inner spirit and far more intelligent then they gave her credit for. With little prompting, she was graduated and sent off to her choice of Division.
(More to come as she progresses)
