Likes Himeko has a fondness for pizza, and while she complains about olives, she always ends up with them on her pizza.

Dislikes Mops, Olives, Blood

Appearance: Himiko has the appearance of someone, in a photo. Her features are always accented, her smile permanent and her beauty never ending. Her voice is melodious, as if every word that comes out of her mouth is in song, which is almost in tone with her body. She is lean... skinny from head to toe, but in no way does that mean she's weak as for some reason she has physical strength within this guise of skinniness. Her body seems to naturally radiate with the scent of Vanilla and the scent of lilies in an icy field. While her personality may be that of a cold girl, her appearance seems to directly contradict her thoughts, as it is as warm as it is inviting. Her hair, lush and brown cascades brilliantly down to her upper back, framing the dark eyes she gazes so softly with. Red flecks of light, or perhaps.. blood are reflected in her eyes, no matter the light shining or the dark that creeps her eyes shine radiantly and proudly almost as a deterrent to the dark that has claimed so many before her. No matter how hard she tries, gaining a look similar to her father's, a man of great pride, always avails her. Her outer appearance took hold on her mothers looks, as internally she was as much of an Soldier if not more than those around her.


Personality: Himeko is incredibly flippant, mouthing off to even the most powerful of enemies, and she generally enjoys rubbing people the wrong way. She does mature as time goes by, but never really loses her attitude. Himeko is seemingly unflappable, not showing fear whether she's being attacked by the Seven Hells in her office or being swallowed by a giant serpent Hollow. She rarely shows any seriousness. She can be serious when the situation calls for it, but she still maintains a fairly laid-back demeanor during such situations and is never without a witty taunt or comeback. Himeko can seem at times to be uncaring or even callous, but actually has a very strong sense of justice and prefers to fight fairly. She can be counted on to do the right thing, even if she makes cynical quips about it the entire time. Unusually, while she has issues with her own aggressive side, Himeko has little qualms about accepting souls who choose the side of good.

Despite verbally complaining about being in debt, Himeko seems quite willing to perform missions solely for the good of them, and rarely enforces payment from poor clients. In fact, Himeko will typically refuse any job she dislikes, regardless of how much it pays, but will immediately take on any paranormal cases (especially those involving hollow hunting), with or without pay. Many of her clients take advantage of this good nature of her, and leave bills for property damage caused during the mission instead of paying for her services.She often gambles to repay these debts. However, she has extremely bad luck with gambling, and loses any game not involved with demon hunting. As a result she is horribly in debt and is often left with no money at all.

Step Into My Life

History: Danika was born in Kyoto, Japan. She was raised much like a princess being the sole female born of the main line of the family. During her years of early childhood her mother would take her out at nights to lay in an apple orchard watching the moon sit in the sky like a glorious translucent eye. Around the age of 14 Danika was walking through her Apple Orchard on her way home from school where she was ambushed by a rival clan. The clansmen wanted to hold her for ransom but the Tatsumi clan was so far in debt they couldn't afford to pay the ransom or even hire someone to go after their beloved daughter. Danika's Parents regretted every second that passed without their daughter and after a month of separation they began fearing the worst. Danika was at the rival clans base. Every Morning from day to night she would be tortured and only offered rest when she had to eat. After 6 months of the torture Shizuku was eating her grovel when she saw a full moon penetrate the clan base. Upon seeing it Shizuku ceased moving. She fell over dead, from a Heart Attack. Upon being separated from her body Danika wandered Kyoto as a lone spirit. After 2 months of being a spirit Danika was attacked by two hollows with masks in the shape of Lunar Phases. They behaved as Hollows normally would and tried to eat her soul. The taller of the two had pierced her limbs with spears of bone pinning her down. Shizuku blacked out from the pain. When she came to she was standing on a long line full of people and at the front of the line were 3 Samurai directing people to troupes of bigger samurai, all of them carrying black butterflies on their fingers.


After being thrown into the Rukongai's 19th district, Life was a bit stressful for Danika. She spent day and night looking for her parents. She had no idea if they had lived or not but a feeling inside of her had told her they passed away shortly after she had been kidnapped. Danika noticed that people in the Rukongai never ate and yet she grew hungrier and hungrier with every passing second. Danika noticed a large group of Samurai returning to the White City. She had never been in the city but had always wanted to get there. This would be her chance to get in. She got up and nearly collapsed from the strain of moving without food for a week. She began limping towards the open city but fell down a few steps away from where she had started. She raised her head and saw a black figure streaking towards her. She couldn't keep her eyes open long enough to see what happened next. She awoke in an inn with a tray full of food lying next to her. After finishing her meal and leaving the tavern, Danika applied for the soul reaper exams. She passed at First Dan and began studying to become a soul reaper. After passing the soul reaper exams, Danika was assigned to 9th company, 5th seat. About 10 years into service Danika was admiring the moon when a ray of light hit her. The ray sent her into a trance where she met her zanpakuto's spirit, Kamikaze. Kamikaze had the appearance of a warrior, wearing red and grey, The two talked for hours and when Danika came to, the ground was windswept and blown apart. Danika achieved Shikai shortly after that day, rising to 3rd seat in her company. Now she was trying her best to receive the 11th captain;s position even though she's still having problems with her Bankai. She still spends restless nights searching the Rukongai for her parents and searching for the souls of the clansmen who had raped her so many years ago, if they hadn't been turned into hollows already. Danika had sent in her application for the position and now all she can do is spend her mornings practicing and her nights searching.

RP Sample: Shizuku walked into the Captain's meeting chambers. Her Zanpakuto was resting on her hip and her eyes were full of determination. She marched up to the center of the large white room and drew her sword. "Shizuku Tokiha.. 9th squad." After the short introduction she held her katana above her head as the silver blade caught and reflected the sunlight onto her. "Dance..Tentoken!" A white light filled the room as Tentoken changed into her Shikai form. A Giant Ring that could fit around a persons body but the outside edge of the ring was bladed and still catching the light from the sun. "This is my Shikai.." She took a deep breath, preparing herself for the next step. She dropped the ring to her hips and began swinging them like a Hula-Hoop. "Bankai!" The energy in the room increased tenfold as a light seemed to radiate from Shizuku herself. When the light subsided, Shizuku was standing in the center of the room a Large Nodachi in her hand with two Crescent Moon's on the blade. "Tsuki Tentoken." Shizuku's reiatsu was radiating wildly because of the immense light in the room. "Any Questions?"

Shizuku held her Bankai for as long as she could before dropping her sword on the floor and passing out. She had never been good with High - Pressure situations and dropping her bankai in a room full of captains was about as High Pressure as it could get. She awoke in her bed back at the 9th company barracks cursing her lick. She sat up as a hell butterfly came through her window and landed on her outstretched finger. "Miss Tokiha, We were impressed by your use of Shikai and Bankai at the council meeting 3 days ago. We hope that you can gain better control of your abilities and come back at a time when you would be better rested. Shizuku looked up and sighed. "Well Mom...Dad... I messed up... Couldn't even hold Tentoken correctly... I failed you all." After finished her conversation, Shizuku fell back on her bed and closed her eyes, drifting off to sleep once again.

Upon reawakening, Shizuku stared at the rising Moonlight and yawned. "Time to start the day." She stood up and stretched walking towards her door. She grabbed her Shihakusho off of a rack and slid it on as she walked down a very empty corridor. As she neared the end of the hall leading to a private garden that she had built in honor of her parents, she reached for Tentoken and realized she hadn't picked her up. "Oh.... Tentoken?!" Shizuku turned on her heels and dashed back to her room. She walked inside and found her sword at the foot of her bed. "Thought I had forgotten you at the chambers... Don't scare me like that." Shizuku turned around once again smiling to the world. As she exited her room a whole battalion of her squad mates nearly knocked her down. They were all brandishing their swords and rushing towards some unknown assailant, Yelling and Screaming. Shizuku picked herself up rubbing her stomach. "Nice to see you all, as well." Shizuku began to walk around towards the corner as a large blood splatter crashed against the adjacent wall and the sound of bodies dropping filled Shizuku's ears.

Shiuzku rounded the corner and saw the carnage. Bodies were strewn across the floor and a large burning hole was set in the wall nearest the mass of bodies. 3 huge hollows were standing on the edge of the forest battling the last standing soul reapers. Shizuku dashes towards the Hollows holding tentoken above her head. She addressed the last 3 soul reapers as she jumped in the air. "You three contact 4th company! Dance Tentoken!" The blade shifted into its ring like form as Shizuku spun throwing it at the nearest hollow. The blade crased through the hollows mask destroying it. Dodging the attacks of the other Two Shizuku caught Tentoken smiling radiantly. "How did these hollow get here..." Shizuku was struck in the back by two large claws to her back ripping through 2 of her ribs. She fell to the ground coughing up blood. looking up she saw two cero's being charged in her direction. "Oh... Bankai!" Light exploded around Shizuku as the Cero's flew towards her. A brilliant flash of light, lit up most of the sereitei. The ground around the battle was razed and scorched. Shizuku emerged from the light in her bankai her left arm missing and the two hollows gone. A 4th company relief squad arrived tending to the wounded before making their way to Shizuku. Numerous voices jumbled together and the world spun as Shizuku fell over.

Shizuku reawoke in a 4th company releif chamber. Gauze was wrapped around her chest and the stump on her left arm was wrapped up. She turned over watching Nurses run by taking care of those who were more wounded. She sat up slowly checking for her blade. After discovering it was gone her mind flashed back to the Battle. Tentoken was in her left hand when the cero's hit her. She fell back onto her bed in tears realizing she might have lost her right to be a soul reaper but more importantly she had lost her Only Friend. Shizuku stood up staggering as she went but she was determined to leave this station. She began walking towards the eit as Nurse's tried to push her back into bed. She wasn't going to be restrained, She had to remove herself before she was forcibly removed. She snuck inbetween two nurses using her physique to avoid capture. She ran outside of the station in the dead of the night, the moon was hiding behind a set of clouds. She ran and ran for what seemed like an eternity before falling down somewhere in the 80th district in the Rukongai. She was tired, Hungry and wounded and it seemed like she wasn't going to make it past the night. She stared up at the black sky saying her goodbyes to who it may concern. She fell back hearing her heartbeat slow as she smiled one final time. "Goodbye, Tentoken." Up in the sky above her the Clouds breezed by revealing the moon in all of its glory. A single ray of light fell to earth like a beacon welcoming home a Goddess.

(The End.. I'll leave the true ending to your interpretation.)
