Personal InformationName Seles Bries
Physical Appearance 
Biography: Seles was born in a mountain town in Japan that was under the influence of a corrupt man who controled the entire town with his gang. Seles's childhood was uneventfull, her father worked in the town's only hospital and her mother worked in a grocery store next to their traditional style two-story house. Seles wanted to grow up to be a doctor like her father; she studied everyday sometimes staying up all night. She made few friends due to her intelligence, but was content with what friends she had. Her friend, Chiharu who was the "Boss's" son, had the same dream as Seles. The two children soon became best friends and spent each moment that they wern't studing together. When Seles turned 17 Chiaru brought her a present which his father knew nothing about. He had brought Seles his family's prized posision, an extremely old katana. Seles woke up to screaming. She ran as quickly as she could to the staircase and saw her father dead on the ground. Above him was one of the "Boss's" thugs, a smoking gun in his right hand and Seles's mother's prized hair clip in his left. The sight of it sent Kotone running into her room. She franticly searched for Chiharu's gift and finally found it under her new sweater that her mother had knited for her. The young girl was terrified and she shook uncontroibly as she tried to draw the katana. When she managed to pull the katana half-way out she felt a sharp pain on her neck and than fell into darkness.
In her mind she saw her mother and father.
"Be strong, Kotone. We have to go now, but don't worry we'll be together again" her father said as he placed his hand on her head. Seles struggled to move, but couldn't. She cried and finally yelled out as her family started to walk away
"Please! Father, Mother! Don't go!" When she woke up she was chained down to a pipe in a basement of an appearntly large house.
"Good, your awake now." a large man said as he walked down into the basement
"My son said that he saw a thief take his sword and run into your house. I'm sure you know the charge for stealing from me. Your parents already payed up and now it's your turn. Chiharu, come here!""Yes father?" a familar voice said as it's owner walked down and stopped by the large man
"Here Chiharu, here's your mouse. Dispose of her as you wish. the man said as he handed Chiharu a gun and walked back into the house.
"Well, well Seles. I see your doing fine." "What is this, Chiharu! Where are my parents? Why am I here?!" Seles yelled in her horse voice
"What is this? What does it look like? Your parents are enjoying their house. Right now it's still too bright and you might be seen when we go for our late night walk." Tears erupted from Seles as she listened and remembered her dream
"Why, Chiharu? Why are you doing this!" "Are you dense? Your father's hospital makes the most in this podunk town. If you become a doctor and take over we won't get a piece of that money. Unfortunetly for me, I'm not as book smart as you are. With you and your family out of the way we'll be making much more than we would without it. Now come on! he said as he yanked on the chains.
"I think its plenty dark now, move!"The two walked into the mountains and only stopped when the cresent moon was directly above them. Seles cried the whole way, but she wasn't crying because of the pain of the rocks embedded into her feet but because she had trusted Chiharu.
"This is far enough. kneal over and put your head down." Seles did as he said, knealing over but she instead looked up towards the moon. She laughed a bit through her tears
"A cresent moon....? I guess it fits..." A emmense pain suddenly hit Seles. It burnt like fire but froze like the winter storms. When it passed she was standing in her room, a large chain on her chest.
The room's paper windows flickered with a strange, dancing light. It took Seles a moment before she relized what it was--fire. The mob that Chikaru's father ruled was tossing oil lamps inside the home. Seles frantically ran downstares, every movement felt as if she was running under water. Her father's body was still at the foot of the stairs and her mother's body layed in the family room, her kimono ripped open and the pine floor that she so painstakingly swept everyday drenched in her blood. Seles let her tears fall as she bent down and picked up the now heavy hair pin.
This.....this is the only thing I have of them now. I'm going to keep it. The young spirit ran outside and began yelling for them to stop, but they ignored her. She tried to push them, but she went through them. Seles looked down, her eyes sorrowfull as she remembered Chiharu's betrayal and her death. In denial, Seles ran into the forest as snow began to fall.
A massive storm blew in that night and every sound seemed to remind Seles of the same thing--your dead.
Seles, although dead, found refuge in a small cave against the bitterly cold weather. The only thing she didn't mind about being dead was that the constant pests, like spiders, didn't bother her now. As she was watching the raging storm outside a figure in black lept out of a tree and was headding towards the cave. Terrified of the thought of any human, Seles backed away from the figure.
"Whats this? A human soul? a woman said in a almost musical voice. The woman has long black hair that flowed around her in the storm, A white feather hairpin, clear purple eyes, and was wearing a black hakama with a purple undershirt.
"I come here looking for hollows and I find a soul. Well..." the woman sighed before smiling
"My name is Sayuri Yamazaki, I'm a shinigami. I know that you must feel some attachment for this place, but its time for you to go." What? A shinigami...? "Miss...Yamazaki, I can't go yet! My mother and father's bodies need to be tended to...." "I'm sorry, but you can't help with their bodies now. Your dead as they are, but if you want to you can see them again. I'll send you to the soul society. There you'll see them again and you'll be together!" Seles opened her eyes in a pleasently surpriesd way.
We'll be together! It's just like father said! "Close your eyes and when you open them you'll be with your family" Seles quickly did as the woman asked and felt a hard and cold piece of metal touch her head. Suddenly Seles felt as if she was flying. Even through her eye lids she could see a blue light envelop her.
When she opened her eyes she was in the soul society. For a moment Seles thought she was on a movie set like one she had seen in her town's only movie theater. It was filled with people in lines ans most were holding small slips of paper.
"Excusme, please get back in line. I know your new, but your confusing the other new arrivals!" a young boy, who was dressed almost the same way Sayuri was, told Seles as he handed her her own slip with the new address of her home on it. Seles was then "escorted" to her new home by the White Gate. Her home wasn't really a home, but more of a shack that was tossed on the outskirts of the gate's town. Inside she found a small bed with thread-bare sheets and no pillow, a cup and bowl, a small fireplace, and one window. Seles was afraid as the two men left.
"Please wait!" she yelled at them
"Where are my parents? I was told that they would be waiting here!" "Your parents? I'm sorry, but chances are that they were sent to another gate. I hope you do find them though." the taller shinigami replied as they both walked out of Seles's shack and into the rest of the slums. For a day Kotone sulked. She didn't blame Sayuri, after all she didn't know that they would be seperated, but she sulked due to her living conditions. As she laied on her thin bed she heard children yelling. She rushed to the makeshift door and peered out. A man was kicking a young child who was carring a jar of water. Outraged, Seles picked up a shovel that was by her shack and hit the man with it.
The man fell to the ground and a group of people exited their huts to see what had happened. Scared, Seles fell to her knees.
What have I done?! Is he.......dead? the young soul asked herself as she began to tremble. Crunching on the gravel caught her attention. She turned around to see who it was but she was immeadetly grabbed on her neck and upper arm.
"How dare ya' hurt our leader! We'll teach ya' to stick ya' nose into other's buisness! Here's your justice!" Slowly, the man's clammy hands tightened around Seles's neck untill she saw only darkness.
When Seles woke up she was chained to a tree outside a eastern style house. The night sky invited men to go inside this red-painted wooden mansion. For hours, Seles watched the kind of people who went inside. They were men, all men. Young ones, old ones, ones of high standings and poor standings. The young girl was confused.
Why bring me, a girl, to a mens only house? she sighed as she turned her wrists in the shackles that bound her to her confusion. Eventually Seles fell back asleep with the stars as her roof. In the morning a woman with her black hair done in buns, came outside with a key in her left hand. Seles stared at her blankly. The woman was wearing a red kimono, but she had her obi on backwards.
How silly. She should know that your supposto tie the obi on the other way. "I'm surprised" the woman said as she approached Seles.
"Your the first girl who didn't kick and scream while being sold.".
S-sold? "I-i think your mistaken..." "They hit you pretty hard, no?" the young woman laughed as she unlocked the chains.
"Lets go inside and have you cleaned up..."The young lady led Seles inside a large room where many woman sat on bright red pillows above a tatami floor. Once compleatly inside, a dirty and scared Seles was surrounded by women who squeezed her cheeks and forced her head side-to-side in a way that reminded Seles of an inspection. After she was "examened" by the Madam in order to see if she was intact the woman who perviously surrounded her took away all of her posisitions, excluding her mother's comb as they beleived that Seles looked pretty with it. Crying, they led Seles by her wrists that were bound by a horse hair rope to a bath. They quickly and forcefully bathed Seles and when they were done they dressed Seles in a kimono with a winter scene and a blue obi.
"Your pretter than I am! You'll get a client in no time!" The woman who brought Seles in, a girl named Tao, said but Seles was still confused, but she thought that she understood her situation. She thought that she was sold into a brothel.
"T-thats not good..." "Why not? We're all not here because we want to, but because we were forced into it. If we gain enough money we can buy our freedom."The rest of the day Seles was locked into the attic, a small room about six feet wide and three feet tall. Only when night fell was she released to the larger hall. Resigned to her fate, Seles looked down silently. Late in the night Seles snuck into multiple girl's rooms and took small ammounts of money. When Seles woke up there was an uproar in the main hall. Appearently the woman who Seles first met, and began to look up to since she was the only nice woman, had stolen all the money the other women made and had escaped the brotheral. That day Seles began to plot to escape. Gathering money for her 'teacher' who would teach her how to fight and move quickly, Seles plotted how to escape the place which she was sold to. A year later and a huge pile of money hidden in her wooden floor boards, Seles payed her 'teacher' and the night guard all her money to not allert the brotheral to her dissapearence. After taking her mother's comb Seles slipped out the back door that led to the yen garden and climbed over the red wall. Once she was over Seles ran through the forest. Fear and adreliline coursing through her veigns, Seles ran all night and only stopped then she reached a clearing that had a smooth granite stone in the center.
"Hey!" Seles heard as she was gently pushed awake by someone's foot
"Hello? I see you moving! Is this any way to treat someone after they saved you from those stupid hollows?" A familiar voice said against the blinding sun.
"W-what?" Seles asked as she slowly moved her sore arm over her eyes th shield them from the sun
"Who are you?" "I thought you would remember! I didn't think you were the type to froget such things! Well, Seles, its me, Sayuri!" With the introduction Seles quickly sat up, her long white hair flipping out some leaves as it flew over her face.
"So you do remember me! You don't look so good. No home, huh? Well you can stay with me for the time being. I'm on break!" Seles's eyes opened with pleasure. Sayuri was the only person who she could trust and to be able to spend her days with her hero was more then she could have ever asked for!
"I would be honored!"-------------
The next day Seles and Sayuri were at Sayuri's 'mother's' house. Appearently most souls create makeshift familys and the older woman before Seles was Sayuri's mother. Sayuri told Seles that she had never found her real family, but she wasn't sad. To keep Seles happy and full of wonder, dispite what the girl had gone through, Sayuri told her stories of the Shinigami academy and the Seireitei. Although most of Sayuri's neighbors hated the shinigami Seles thought what they did was brave.
