Bloodline:
Appearance Description: Short and basically scrawny, Hotaru has wild red hair that she holds up usually held up in a pony tail on the upper side of her head, giving it a wild bush look. If loose it would fall about to her shoulders. Taru's typical quincy uniform is a variation off of an "overall". Rather then long pants the overall is one with shorts, a blue belt running around her waist. The edges of the shorts are blue while the rest of the overall is white. Underneath she wears a long sleeves shirt, the sleeves reaching her finger tips. The border of the sleeve at the hands is decorated with a blue slit. On the upper area of the arms are crosses. Her most prideful accessory is a blue bandana she wears around her neck (much like a cowgirl would). White boots and blue thigh high length socks cover her legs and feet.

Character Strengths: Hotaru is quick to react. Where many would think and evaluate she does what she feels is right at the moment. In other words acts on impulse or instinct. There are few things she hesitates with especially within combat. However this can also be weakness according to the situation.
Character Weaknesses: Her playful attitude gets her in trouble, by her not taking certain things as seriously as she probably should she can end up getting hurt or distracted. It also seems to get on quite a few Quincy nerves and such hard to gain any kind of trust. Another flaw is her somewhat impulsive attitude which can cause as much trouble as it does help.
Motto/Quotes: "There's always more then meets the eye"
Personality: Hotaru is ball of "positive" energy. She is a very affectionate person to those she trusts and likes. Her attention span also appears to be quite "short" (though half the time she'd doing it on purpose). Hotaru although many times will receive criticism or even possible punishments for her "childike/carefree attitude" (as seem by many), but she refuses to bend down to what people want her to be even if it may make things hard on her.

Classified Records - Combative Information
Basic:

Fighting Styles:
Unlike a lot of her fellow quincy her style's forté is close ranged combat. She is extremely swift and strong for someone of her stature. Due to this though, she has to be quite close to her opponents which can tend to put her in more dangerous situations. Her lack of aim in long range battles is the main reason to why she has trained herself to fight this way. Her movements tend to come in bursts of energy, like constant many sprints making her seem to move in blurrs (even though she isn't fastest thing around...yet). Her resistance to attacks is quite higher compared to other quincy even at her current age making her able to stand quite a number of blows.
Strength: This perhaps is one of her best features. Although she has still to fully grow and develop this to it's best, Hotaru is stronger then your average 14 year old. Her structure and size tend to full a lot. Each blow carries a force that is able to dent into some of the hardest materials (obviously if she doesn't wear anything this will harm her own hands). Though her strength has yet to reach extremes where she can handle things with extreme weight.
Speed: Due to her light weight and small build she is very agile and swift. Her speeds can reach dramatic levels however, such high speeds only last for short periods of time. She can't handle going so fast for so long, it tires her. The maximum speed she is capable of reaching on her own is 25mph. Because of this, Hotaru uses her speed as bursts, or flashes, during key points in her fighting in order to give an even extra power to her already strong blows. Hotaru being used to moving in bursts is capable of shifting her direction/move out of way etc at somewhat faster speed then would be normal.
Intelligence: Hotaru is not the brightest thing around, she isn't stupid either. She just is not really the strategist type. She tends to act more on instinct, however she can read to some extents her opponent if she puts her mind up to it. Either way, she is not one to "think" things through. Hotaru however can at times be extremely could at wiggling herself out of situations she puts herself in, in other words she is quite good at improvising.
Stamina: Is average if not slightly lower then what would be expected. She doesn't show it but her body drains energy quite quickly, but it also regains energy quickly in smaller breaks. Knowing this is one of the many reasons Hotaru fights in "flashes". The time in between each flash is enough to gain some of the energy she needs before the next one. As long as she isn't constantly using every ounce of her energy in each attack she can last a fair amount of time on the field.
Durability: This is probably something she has better then the majority of other quincies. Knowing full well that being close to opponents is asking to get hit more often Hotaru has worked her body to withstand quite a bit of strikes. A lot of her durability also comes from a somewhat harsher past.
Advanced:
Spiritual Pressure: Hotaru's spiritual pressure is high, she has a lot of potential. Sadly though her personality and her young age completely mess with her ability to fully control her spiritual pressure reducing her true capabilities as well as using more energy then what would usually be required. This can also make her a bit dangerous if she releases too much all of a sudden. her spiritual pressure seems to be strongly connected with her emotions.
Swordsmanship/Accuracy/Other: Hotaru's skills with a bow are very sad for a Quincy. She just can't use them, no matter how hard she has trained aiming something like an arrow is just not for her. In part it is probably due to her personality, it doesn't suit what is needed for sharp shooting since her focus is lost so easily. She fairs decently with a sword but her stance has little thought to it. Both archery and swordsmanship require a kind of discipline that Hotaru just doesn't fit. Have her in a fist fight and she is more then likely to prevail. It simply suits her style and energy. Stances of the martial art nature simply some naturally for her, 2nd nature. She is skilled at mixing both arm and leg movement into her fighting, something that archery does not allow in such a dramatic degree.
Special Training: Has not received anything specific. Most of what she has learned she did from observing others (especially Hans). Hotaru has learned quite a few forms of hand to hand fighting from either having seen images/videos or getting lessons from someone with such knowledge. What she learns have come from spars Hans is able to have with her from time to time. She is one how has learned from experience and observation, her training failing thousands of times before finally succeeding something on her own.
Personal Abilities: Due to learning most of what she has through watching others in spars or in their training, Hotaru can pick up on movement patterns with some ease. Of course the more complex the longer it will take her but one thing is for sure, she will get it done sooner or later. Unlike some would expect with her loud nature, she can make quite the decent little spy (most of her observation had to be done in secret of course). She moves very silently when her mind is up to the task.
Spiritual Techniques/Releases:
Quincy Bangle/Cross Appearance: Cross
Quincy Bangle/Cross Location: She has them in double, wearing one on each of her wrists. Not on a string though. They are embedded into a more leather like material so they are held snugly to her skin.
Quincy Abilities:
Blut: A Quincy ability that gives one inhuman defensive and offensive capability. By making Reishi flow into their blood vessels they increase their attack and defense power drastically. Blut is significantly dangerous but it has one big flaw, the two forms of Blut for attack and defense work using two different Reishi systems, so they cannot be used at the same time.
Hotaru has yet to completely master both systems. Because of her close up combat style she has almost mastered the defensive form but the offensive one is still at an average level.
Hirenyaku: An advanced Quincy moving technique. It allows for high- speed movements by riding on the flow of Reishi created below the user's feet
Hotaru has worked in implementing this in her "burst" like fighting style. She has become somewhat mastered at reading where Reishi in the air is strongest to allow for the fastest burst.
Spirit Weapon: Hotaru can create her spirit weapon, but only gauntlets. Any other results in failure. Her skill with it is pretty deadly but she still has a way to go before mastering it completely.
Spiritual Awareness: She has above average spiritual awareness. As a prankster she uses this to her advantage in order to pull of her pranks (and make sure its on the same person). However the area to which she can sense is reduced to that of the size of a large building.
Reishi Absorption: Hotaru has a quite surprising ability to absorb reishi around her, although the control over it isn't mastered. Her body seems to automatically absorb Reishi during the intervals between each burst.
Quincy Spiritual Weapon Appearance: Gauntlets
Quincy Spiritual Weapon Abilities: By gathering reishi in her gauntlets Hotaru is able to either shoot the energy out as fist size expolisive reishi bullets, or power up her punch. Even if either case is dodged the explosive shock at the end will cover an area of at least 3 feet.
Quincy Vollstandig Appearance: When Hotaru activates her Vollstandig a more sophisticated and stronger version of her gauntlets appear but with the addition of boots.
Quincy Vollstandig Abilities: :
Boomsday Baby!: No one really knows how to explain her Vollstandig abilities but it appears that she has come sort of Sonic Boom ability. Her movements vibrates at such a frequency that at the end of each movement (punch/kick/etc) she is basically able to imitate the effect of the sound barrier being broken causing power shockwaves to strike her opponents. Surprisingly, she can use this instead of attacking to maneuver her body both on ground and in mid air.
