【Additional Appearance Info: Standing at 5'7 and weighing in at—ask again and I'll pluck your eyes out—Kairi is a rather slender woman with an air of confidence about her. Her curves modest till you get below waist level, Kairi's body is athletic and well toned. While once she was forced into the traditional shinigami shihakusho, she has since shed the uniform in place of her current outfit, which is part utility and part style. Most notable is the train of cloth that trails down from her waist, concealing the position of her blade, which is laid horizontally at the small of her back. Beyond this the colors of her outfit serve to accentuate her body and, more particularly, her face and fierce amber eyes.

【Biography: Kairi came into the rukongai as a baby, something surely tragic having occurred to result in such a fate. Nonetheless, a poor family took her in and raised her, attempting to instill in her the values that would allow her to survive in the lower districts where violence was rampant and food was scarce. However, before she was even ten, bandits broke into their home. She woke up later to find the house empty. She had gotten out unscathed, but had lost her family as a result. She cried, but the world soon toughened her up as she learned to steal and fight for food and shelter. She learned that there was little room for remorse when someone stole from you instead. She learned the darker side of humanity, and this impression of humankind would remain with her for many years to come. Needless to say, she fought tooth and nail to extricate herself from the violence, and she succeeded, eventually ending up in one of the better districts.

However, her thieving ways one day ended her up at the feet of a shinigami, where she was punished, and then forced to enroll in the academy. It seemed the shinigami had seen promise in her, and he was right...though perhaps not in the way anyone would have expected. Swiftly she began to feel she didn't belong as she failed classes left and right, possessing less reiatsu than most around her, not to mention how little interest she saw in kido. However, there were two things that caught her eye, for she had always seen the appeal of evasion and of brutal and unforgiving physical punishment. So her classmates began to learn that where she failed in zanjutsu, flunked in kido, and lacked in stamina, she more than made up for it with raw strength, durability and speed. She went largely undeafeted in sparring exercises and she liked it. She liked being above the others, liked the attention—negative and otherwise, and so she fed on it.

As the decades passed she became more and more skilled in Hoho and Hakuda, eventually managing to pass the academy, with a recommendation to help her out from under the weight of her other failed classes. With that she began her ascension through the ranks, jumping between divisions until she landed herself in the 2nd division where finally some discipline was forced upon her. As she was finally brought to reign she found solace in her lacking authority by venting her cruelty and annoyance on her zanpakuto and so it was that she rose to 3rd seat with the reveal of her shikai. In the next couple of centuries she managed to nearly master her shikai, while surpassing even most captains with her prowess in Hakuda and Hoho respectively. She became known Fuishi after a series of missions in which she was tasked to hunt down several defectors. When the medical crew was called they found that all there was to do...was clean up the mess and with several of them having witnessed the exchange, well they found the title fitting. So it was that a century ago, in the week following that incident, she was promoted to the lieutenant of 2nd division, after all...one of the defectors had been the former lieutenant.

The following years were relatively quiet and especially boring in her opinion, until what appeared to be a rebel faction appeared in the midst of the seireitei and laid low the Gotei 13, herself included. She took the defeat badly, and for the last several years she's trained, rage consuming her, even as her zanpakuto grows more distant with every passing week. Unable to understand why, Kairi finds herself frustrated and it is this frustration which has led her to join in the effort to reclaim their place in the seireitei. Plus, who couldn't use more positive points in their resume? After all, she's got her sights set on the captain position, and she's got no intention of letting Arina outshine her, even if they are sort of friends.

【Personality: Kairi is a girl with equal parts sass and kindness, despite what some might say. She's the sort that you're either drawn to or jealous and hateful of and she's responded to it with smiles and tasteful sarcasm, or the latter and a cold hatred. She hates easily and while it's relatively easy to become her friend, she's highly competitive and just a little judgmental. Holding herself to very high standards has, over the years, resulted in her—to a lesser degree—holding others to similar bars. As a result she's isolated herself from some circles, but earned respect and notoriety as a result. After all, even when people hate her, it's hard to talk shit about someone who can probably hear you from half a mile away and could easily break 100% of your bones.

As one might expect of someone like her, Kairi's got a temper, and while she'll dial it back and keep herself under control most times, she can get pretty worked up...and it can end violently if you're not careful. Say the wrong thing and you're likely to end up under the care of 4th division for a good long while. This reveals a certain cruelty about her, one that is the result of a sadistic streak, as while she could often kill someone or leave them be, she'd much rather tease—in flirty fashion—or injure beyond the point of repair just to watch you suffer in the long run. This of course runs contrary to her division, which often forces her kills to be swift, if not clean. As such she has managed to develop a measure of professionalism when it comes to assassinations, though not so for slaughters. Still, with stamina as low as hers, she's likely to burn bright and hot, before burning out with due swiftness. As to her humor, well, she's sarcastic and holds little value in the like of puns, unless they're about violence...violence is an exception.

As a leader on the other hand, Kairi is strict, often picking up some of the slack for her godawfully lazy captain, Arina Kawagana—the slothful bitch. Oh yeah, did I mention she's spiteful and proud? Because that's a thing too.

Inner World & Spirit:


Zanpakuto Personality: Both like and unlike its master, Shūryō-jiku is a strange spirit, as it is both stubborn and willful, while being submissive to Kairi. To any other the spirit would be a powerful force to be reckoned with, seemingly impossible to convince and similarly impossible to stop should it take in its mind to do something. Yet, even with the waning resonance between them, Shūryō-jiku has become entirely subservient to Kairi. It appears as if the spirit has had its resolve crushed by mountains and its wits scattered by the very winds of the world in which it resides. However, as their bond slowly wanes, the spirit regains some of its old self...bit by bit.

Ability: Its form that of two unique knuckle dusters, Shūryō-jiku's primary ability takes the form of six orbs, which however between their spikes. These six orange orbs are formed of a composite material that occurs when reishi and reiryoku are bonded equally into a closed system. These orbs can bind themselves to any individual or object in addition to being capable entering two separate states. The first state causes an orb to become a nigh immovable object by condensing its bound reiryoku into its center and allowing it to spin around a central point. While these orbs can be moved, doing so requires a tremendous amount of effort. On the other hand, the second state an orb can enter allows it to become a nigh unstoppable force, by externalizing its reiryoku and causing it to explode in a stream behind it, sending it in one direction at high speed. While these two states are useful abilities, there is one further property that should be noted, that being that orbs can be bound to living things as well and how tied they are to a given part of that living thing depends entirely upon how long Kairi can maintain physical contact—this applies to objects as well.

A mere second of contact will bind an orb to only the point of contact on the surface level, whereas 3 seconds will bind it to deeper layers of tissue and 5 seconds, small amounts of muscle in addition to the aforementioned. As the amount of time goes up, so too does the depth and surface area of the orb's effect. This makes Kairi's ability one to be truly feared as the wrong move could be your last. It should be noted that direct interference with an orb can cause them to briefly short circuit—though this requires an above average level of control of one's reiatsu and/or internal reiryoku. The greater the reiryoku/reiatsu, the easier it is to disrupt the orbs. There is a brief period of 8 seconds before an orb can be switched between states.
