Name: Kagura Shinryu
Gender: Female
Age: Appears 18
Hair Colour: Black
Eye Colour: Crimson
Blood Type: AB
Reiatsu Color: Cerulean Blue
Appearance: Kagura has long waves of raven hair that reach a bit past her hips, with bangs that stride a bit below her eyes. Her dark locks serve as a sharp contrast to her pale skin--a characteristic of death that remained with her in the afterlife. She's tall and slender with little to no curves. However, her appearance is still rather feminine in some aspects, such as from her long eyelashes, the lean fingers of her hands, and the softness of natural skin she has managed to maintain despite her battles (although this is mostly due to her superb kido manipulation).
Affiliation: Soul Society, Squad 5, Squad 2, Ray Kazuma
Squad: 2
Rank: Vice Captain
Personality: Kagura has a cold exterior with a very warm interior. She is completely selfless for her friends but extremely selfish when it comes to strangers. Naturally, it is difficult for her to make friends due to this and her natural silence. She usually falls into the extremes, where she can be very rash and impulsive to overly cautious and overthinking every detail. Kagura is fairly content when she is not leading, but absolutely hates following the orders of those she feels are inadequate or incompetent. In addition, she's has a crude and cynical sense of humor but is humorous nonetheless.
Likes: Dominance, Literature, Art, Philosophy, Complexity, Sex, Coffee, Music
Dislikes: Ignorance, Close-minded Ideology, the cold, Censorship, Society
Biography: The first thing Kagura can recall after death is being consumed with a darkness affiliated to those who become hollows. Eventually defeated by a shinigami, and purified, she wound up in Soul Society. She was oblivious to what it was in life that had caused such sadistic need and internal struggle, as memories of life are erased, but she did know one thing--the relief of being set free from it. After experiencing such cleansing, it stood as motivation for her to get become a shinigami herself and free others from those painful bonds.
As a child in Soul Society, she grew up with a spirit known as Ray. Kagura has grown to become a friend of Ray's and they have a long history with each other. They both got into academy to become Shinigami, and graduated at equal rate as well. She uses Ray as motivation, coupled with her indivual one to reach for higher goals. Once reaching her position as Ray's lieutenant, however, she declined moving forward in terms of social status, at least. With Ray being one of the few people who's company she never fails to enjoy, Kagura prefers to work with him on his squad over anything else.
Zanpakuto Name: Shiva
Sealed Description: A thick, slightly elongated blade, though other than those two factors is not much different from your average sword.
Zanpakuto Spirit Appearance: A six winged bird similar to the Cerulean Warblar.
Zanpakuto Spirit Personality: A representation of Kagura's mind, Shiva can be very loud at times, and often scolding, though usually for encouragement for progress.
Shikai Status: Achieved
Release Command: "Set the world ablaze, Shiva"
Shikai Released Appearance: A highly ornate handle with a flat black blade, with cerulean heiroglyphics embedded into the center, running down each side of the blade, until the very tip.
Shikai Abilities: Her sword not only cuts, but burns her enemies as well. Her hits are more of a distraction not only from the pain but the long lasting burning sensation people often feel when they get burned. Along with this, she is capable of transferring Shiva's heat into other objects, including herself.
Kora ki vinash - The symbols on her sword illuminate a cyan blue, and are capable of being drawn out of the sword. They can attatch to the tip of her blade to form a chain, making her sword act as a short ranged whip. If the chain itself is broken, the individual broken pieces move at her command. The symbols themselves emit heat equivalent to a Blue Supergiant (a type of star). A good amount of her opponent can be incinerated by these symbols, depending on the spot specifically touched. Of course, this also varies on how strong her opponent is themselves.
Ansu - She can cut through dimensions, creating portals
Bankai Status: Not yet achieved
Bankai Description: I'll do it when I'm not lazy.
Bankai Abilities: Nope, still lazy.
Kido: 1-80
Hakuda: Above Average
Hoho: Shunpo Expert
Abilities and Special Training: Kagura has had specialized training in kido for a period of time in Soul Society, and so is more advanced than the average vice captain in her abilities.
Trivia: Kagura is secretly a pyro and likes to set things on fire, and she hardly ever wears the usual shinigami robes.
Other: She usually wears a pendant to suppress her Reiatsu.
