Name: Haruka Katsuye
Appearance:
Age: 230
Height: 5'7"
Weight: Unknown
Eye Color: Blue
Hair Color: Reddish Blonde (Pink...just don't tell her that)
Race: Shinigami
Rank: Unseated
Spiritual Energy Colour: Dark Silver
Personality: Haruka is a...mischievous young woman. Rakish, charming, and faintly masculine in her movements, Haruka has no shortage of witty comebacks. One of three facial expressions are commonly seen in Haruka's: The Scowl of Doom, the Smirk of Doom, or the "I'm Completely Ignoring You, Why Aren't You Shutting Up?" Glare of Doom.
Her playful/bristly nature is offset by her duty bound mindset. No matter what, the mission comes first. Should that fail, the getting her comrades to safety takes over. She isn't very keen on her extended family, and barely has contact with her immediate family. Lately, interactions have been along "Read this, please, Lady Haruka" or "Please sign your permission for these missives, Lady Haruka?"
She can be found training when she isn't tending to her Zanpakuto, meditating, or planning/reading something. Haruka is a gifted fighter, with specializations in the arts of Zanjutsu, Hoho, and Hakuda. Her Kido could use some work, but she was never good at having to memorize things. Her control is very good for being a first generation fighter, but improvement is always welcomed/needed.
History: Haruka is the eldest female of the mysterious Katsuye noble family. The Katsuye are a political family, and are not known to breed notable warriors. Haruka would be the first to actually become a seated member of the Gotei 13, should she make it that far.
Despite her blood standing, she is not eligible as an heir due to familial law. This bothered her greatly as a child. Many attempts were made by the clan head, her father, to change the law but were always rejected by the clan council. Haruka lived a life of luxury, but absolutely hated it. Being the rambunctious tomboy, she often snuck out of her lessons with her siblings and cousins to play with the children of the servants. It was amongst them that she learned the meaning and value of loyalty: A servant saved her from a very severe reprimand by claiming he fetched the girl from her lessons for her mother. That same servant suffered a severe beating and was released from his duties.
As a young teenager, Haruka made amends with the servant and got him a job as her brother's attendant. In gratitude the man's daughter insisted on becoming Haruka's attendant. The two became close friends throughout Haruka's schooling and lessons. They still remain close, following Haruka's recent graduation and her friend's marriage and recent pregnancy news.

3. HBFS: Haruka HITS a specific point of the opponent's body, then makes a BLOCKING motion to press a point of her zanpakuto either against or toward the opponent. She then FLIPS away, only for to aim a SURGE of her spirit energy at that specific point. Lasts for 2 posts (HB=1st post, FS= 2nd post), 4 post cool down.
4. Digital Love: Haruka holds Yuurei Shinjin by the cross body and holds him at an angle. The four tips of the blades glow and release one identical, glowing blade. The blade can be used to either attack or to create a shield. When used for attack, she can control it mentally as a second sword. If using it for defense, Haruka uses it to parry blade attacks or to create one large shield against lower leveled attacks. The shield aspect is a last ditch effort, since this is a primarily offensive technique.
Lasts for as unitl the 5 slashes, one blast or one block is fulfilled. If used for 5 slashes or blast, cool down is 2 posts. If used for the shield, cool down is 5 posts.
