Personality: Yurie has a very blunt personality and is a stark realist. She says what she means and means what she says, making others face cold reality. Though this is true, it doesn't make her a pessimist. She will just give straight up answers, no matter how depressing or optimistic they may be. Due to this, Yurie may seem like your typical tsundere, cold and uncaring at first glance, but she is actually extremely nice and kind to others. When on her playful side, Yurie tends to be a troll, getting highly amused when people lose their temper. When not in a serious situation, she can usually be found smirking at the world around her with an slightly cocky expression. If you manage to get her pissed, she will flip you out in a shitstorm of curses with a calm tone of voice.

Biography: Yurie was born into the Kasukē noble family. The family was strictly militaristic and Yurie was taught the ways of the Shinigami and how to fight at an extremely young age. She was a natural Shinigami prodigy, having several useful talents. A natural born leader, she outclassed many of the older and more experienced Shinigami in Zanjutsu, Hakuda and Hohō. Not only was she an expert in all the aspects of the Shinigami, but was also disciplined, tactical, strong, loyal and a quick learner. Her parents would only let the best raise their daughter. And Yurie did indeed, deliver everything and more of their expectations. But her parents had plans that differed from her's. They wanted her to become the idealistic soldier that lead the Kasukē family. A person that stirred souls, lead legions, impassioned people, instilled fighting spirit. A soldier she was, that would follow any order from her superiors, but her life wasn't some kind of footsoldier enslaved in the army. Her life was her own, and not even her parents could give orders about her future. As any teenager would, she rebelled and joined Shinō Academy without her parent's permission. It was only a rebellious symbol, saying that she would become the next Head of the Kasukē family, but she would only do it on her terms. If her parents fought her terms, she would graduate from Shinō Academy with her abilities in a matter of five seconds, then join the Gotei 13 in which her parents would have to find another head for the Kasukē family. However, if they agreed to her terms, she would drop out of the academy and nobly lead the family while still attaining her freedom. Her parents finally consented to her terms and life went on.
Years later, no longer was she the young prodigy, but a grown soldier. Now the Head of the Kasukē family, her parents no longer bothered with her. They were much too busy running the affairs of the family and with Yurie fully grown, she no longer needed their attention anymore, now that she was independent. With her newly found freedom, Yurie began going beyond her boundaries. All her life, she had known nothing but the militaristic atmosphere. There were so many things in life that she had never known or seen before. Eventually, she took up an interest in music. In songs and melodies, there were so many things that couldn't be explained. So many vast wonders of the world that she had yet to learn of. Through this, she learned her passion of singing, and took it upon herself to imprint her life into melody with the words and things that could never be explained. With this, the Kasukē family gained even more popularity than ever before. They had been famed for their military prowess, and never in a hundred years would they expect the Head of the Kasukē family to take up something as passive as singing. With meaning behind the songs she sang, she displayed her ideals and her intended future of the Kasukē family. The family weren't a bunch of barbaric warriors. They were humans...souls...Shinigami...fighting for justice and trying to change the world. It was through song that Yurie finally found her purpose.
Eventually, Yurie went on a month-long mission in the extermination of the rising numbers of berserking hollows in Hueco Mundo. There, Yurie's faction met Shinigami of the Gotei 13 who were also slaying Menos Grande. Together, the two groups rampaged through the Forest of Menos, wiping out massive hordes of berserk hollows. As the month neared its end, it happened to be the same time of the defeat of Aizen and the Espada in the Winter War. Central 46 had sent orders for the destruction of Las Noches. Yurie was completely appalled. The Espada and Aizen were gone! What more threat would Las Noches pose? Not to mention that they would also be destroying the innocent Arrancar left in Las Noches. As the groups parted ways, Yurie was unable to stop the destruction of Las Noches, since trying to fight off the Shinigami group would be a sure sign of rebellion against the entirety of the Gotei 13. She would not risk starting a war between Central 46 and her own faction. Yurie's faction left Hueco Mundo, feeling powerless and guilty for not lifting a hand to help.
More years flew by and it was during this time that she finally started walking towards her goal. During a visit to the Hanami Festival in Seireitei, she became acquainted with Nezumi Keigo, from the Keigo noble family. They met a few times afterwards, and Yurie was surprised to find out that he had the same ideals as she did. The Soul Society was extremely incapable and disillusioned. Their ideals needed to be changed. And the only way that could happen is with the object called the Soul Chain. An extremely powerful object that is said to be able to link together parallel worlds. Yurie and Nezumi devised a plan in which they would use the Soul Chain to replace the Soul Society with another version of the Soul Society from a parallel world, in which the new Soul Society would have their ideal conditions. In order to reach this utopia, the Shadow Souls were thus founded in an isolated portion of the Rukongai that the two called District Zero. Only the best of the best with similar ideals are recruited, in order to create a peaceful Soul Society. And so, Yurie temporarily resigned from the Head of the Kasukē family, so as to not throw her family into war with the Gotei 13, should they be found out. Along with Nezumi and several other Shadow Souls' members, they joined the Gotei 13 in order to infiltrate their ranks. Currently, Yurie is one of the Captains of the Shadow Souls.

Yūdaina Chō Yōshiki [雄大な蝶様式: Majestic Butterfly Style] - The Majestic Butterfly Style is an elegant sword style taught to the Kasukē family members. This style has developed over many years and has been proven to be one of the top ten sword styles in the world. The only known practitioners are the Kasukē family members and whomever else the user deems worthy of wielding this sword style. Learning it is difficult, while mastering it is exponentially harder. It is usually taught and passed on from generation to generation, with the learner changing the concepts of the style to their own characteristics. Therefore, each generation's sword style is different and everchanging. However, the basic concepts always remain the same. The "heart" of the Majestic Butterfly Style is based on fluid and artistic movements, as well as certain sword skills that are privy to this style. In addition, the style grants a broad range of flexibility and versatility in combat. Currently, Yurie's Majestic Butterfly Style consists of seven stances and fourteen sword styles. The deadliness of her style is the fact that stances can be switched effortlessly, leading to endless combinations and infinite possibilities; only limited to the user's abilities.
Stances: [Everything in brackets is the optimized fighting style for the stance]
- Fleuret Style; Single Blade Stance - The user stands in a sideways position, with the user's corresponding foot (to the user's sword arm) behind the other foot. Both feet are approximately five inches apart. The user's sword hand is drawn back to the corresponding shoulder, with the blade parallel to the ground. The user's free hand holds an open palm position above the tip of the blade, obscuring it from view. [Sneak Attacks, Quick Jabs, Defense]
Estoc Style; Single Blade Stance - The user stands at an angle, with the sword hand drawn back to the corresponding shoulder. The opposite hand is open and flat, with the center of the palm placed on the base of the pommel. [Thrusting, Quick Jabs, Stabs]
Femme Fatale Style; Single Blade Stance - The user stands in a sideways position, with one foot behind the other, and the knees slightly bent. The user's sword hand then comes down to the opposite hip, while the sword point is directed towards the target. The free hand hovers over the sword hand in a flat palm position. [Quick Attacks, Jabs, Counterattacks]
Kurenai Style; Single Blade Stance - Both of the user's feet touch together, with one slightly behind the other. The user's sword arm is perfectly straight and pointed towards a diagonal at the ground, with the tip of the blade pointed down and hovering an inch above the floor. [Slashing, Position Shifting, Mid-Range]
Single Reversal; Dual Blade Stance - The user's first blade is held up in the air and tilted at a diagonal. The second reversed blade, is pressed against the back of the first blade at the opposite angle of the first, making a slightly tilted X-shape. [Power Strikes, Defense, Multi-strikes]
Double Reversal; Dual Blade Stance - The user stands in a sideways position with both feet together. Both reverse grip blades are pressed lightly against the user's forearms. The user's arms are at either side of the user and bent at the elbow, approximately a foot away from the user. [Slashing, AoE, Defense, Short Range, Physical Combat, Full Mobility]
Kasukē Style; Butterfly Grace - The user holds their blade(s) in a "sheathed" position on the opposite hip of the sword arm. Out of all the styles, this one is the simplest, yet, holds the most versatility. [Rounded]
Sword Styles:
- Dai-ichi Yūdaina Chō [第一雄大な蝶: First Majestic Butterfly] - Beginning with an upward slash, the user follows this up with a multitude of slashes that zip past the target at every angle. This move is similar to a cutting tornado, slashing at every direction possible. The move ends with a massive downward cleave of the blade, aiming to slice the target into two. A variation of this move is to use it with hand to hand combat, with the user launching multiple punches and kicks before slamming the target into the ground.
Dai-ni Yūdaina Chō [第二雄大な蝶: Second Majestic Butterfly] - The user spins on their feet, launching razor-edged slashes with their blades. The move is characterized by having a better cutting edge than most, and can slice cleanly through solid objects.
Dai-san Yūdaina Chō [第三雄大な蝶: Third Majestic Butterfly] - The user launches multiple stabs forward, at an incredible speed. This style has an added piercing capability and improves the speed of each of the user's thrusts. A variation of this move is stabbing the user's blade forward while simultaneously launching forth a flurry of bullets in rapid succession.
Dai-shi Yūdaina Chō [第四雄大な蝶: Fourth Majestic Butterfly] - This move curves the user's attacks around the target. When launching an attack, the slash path curves behind and around the target, almost like a striking snake. This gives the user an extended range and allows for sneak attacks.
Dai-go Yūdaina Chō [第五雄大な蝶: Fifth Majestic Butterfly] - The user slashes past the target, and immediately ricochets back with another slash that puts them back into their original position. The move can happen so fast, that it would seem as if the user had not moved a single step from their position. The path of the slashes resembles a boomerang, slashing forward before curving around to the original position.
Dai-roku Yūdaina Chō [第六雄大な蝶: Sixth Majestic Butterfly] - With the tip of the user's blade on the ground, the user makes an upward slash with the tip of the blade. This sends a curved arc of reiatsu towards the target. This move is also effective in knocking away projectiles and creating distractions or smokescreens.
Dai-nana Yūdaina Chō [第七雄大な蝶: Seventh Majestic Butterfly] - By throwing forth a single slash, the slash immediately multiplies into three slashes, effectively lacerating the target with only a few swings of one's blade. For every one slash thrown, three slashes head towards the target.
Dai-hachi Yūdaina Chō [第八雄大な蝶: Eighth Majestic Butterfly] - Whenever in any dual sword stance, the user throws forth a single slash with both blades. Every single slash turns into a double slash, throwing forth twice the amount of attacks for a four slash combo.
Dai-kyū Yūdaina Chō [第九雄大な蝶: Ninth Majestic Butterfly] - The user fires a mass of bullets into the air. When the user snaps their fingers, the bullets reverse direction, falling back down onto the target. This move has a wide ten feet radius range.
Dai-jū Yūdaina Chō [第十雄大な蝶: Tenth Majestic Butterfly] - The user fires several bullets into the ground. When the user snaps their fingers, the bullets reverse direction, shooting up from the ground. This can be used to set multiple traps in the ground, turning the bullets into effective "landmines".
Dai-jūichi Yūdaina Chō [第十一雄大な蝶: Eleventh Majestic Butterfly] - The user fires a single bullet, then fires a faster follow up bullet. The two bullets meet in midair, striking against each other like a match, causing a large amount of friction, making both bullets burst into flame at the target's location. The move happens in an entire instant, and can be used in rapid succession.
Dai-jūni Yūdaina Chō [第十二雄大な蝶: Twelfth Majestic Butterfly] - The user fires a single bullet, then fires a faster follow up bullet. The second bullet hits and destroys the first bullet, effectively turning both bullets into dangerous shrapnel. This widens the attack range of the technique, and causes more damage. The move happens in an entire instant and can be used in rapid succession.
Dai-jūsan Yūdaina Chō [第十三雄大な蝶: Thirteenth Majestic Butterfly] - The user launches into the air, spinning in a full circle. During this spin, the user launches off a flurry of bullets in a 360 motion. This ability works over a twenty feet radius area, and is extremely effective in wiping out hordes of crowds.
Rei Yūdaina Chō [零雄大な蝶: Zero Majestic Butterfly] - The deadliest Majestic Butterfly Style that combines all the stances. By using the optimized combination of all styles, this allows for extreme high speed combat involving physical attacks and swordplay. Using this style, the user is able to launch a combination of punches, kicks, slashes, stabs, and shots; all in an incredibly short timeframe.
