Weight: 110 pounds
Eye Color: Glacial blue

Parentage: Does it matter? They're dead anyway.
Siblings/Children: None
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Descriptive Markings: Amaterasu wears a light blue pleated dress underneath her captain's robe. Although she has been reprimanded countless of times as a bad example to young shinigami, the woman still chooses not to wear the orthodox garb, as it doesn't give her an ability to show of her assets.

Personality:The first thing that comes to mind when speaking of Amaterasu is kitschy. Cold, calculating, ruthless... among many other unpleasant synonyms used to describe her, she has heard it all. However, the synonymous words really don't matter to her, she's too confident to deflate her massively sized ego to believe them. She's a woman with a silver tongue; hurting people mentally rather than physically, since mental anguish weighs heavier than the physical pain, which can heal.

Like other women, Amaterasu finds herself completely immersed in her own vision of beauty, and to her she is the epitome of perfection, not many could compare to her fair looks. The lady uses her looks to her advantage to get what she wants, just like any other gorgeous b***h in the world. From men to money, she has the means to have it all.

With both brain and brawn, the woman doesn't need to pick. Her brain is nothing average, Amaterasu is a woman who is constantly thinking and studying. There isn't a moment in her life where she doesn't shut up in her head, after all you can only trust yourself. This is her normal side outside of her darkened office.

Concerning science, the woman turns into a complete lunatic. Enough said.

Amaterasu suffers from a case of masochism, deep deep deep down inside her. No, she doesn't self harm, neither does she like it when others inflict pain upon her, but she does. In any case, she is a sadist on the outside, and that's the Amaterasu that people see. A selfish b***h.

Character Strengths: What the woman lacks in physical strength, she makes up for by her massive intellect and being the captain of Squad Twelve, it's expected. Her confidence is always skyhigh, thanks to her beauty and ability to not be fazed by others. Amaterasu is a stubborn perfectionist, which is pretty much self explanatory.

Character Weaknesses: Being quite blunt as she is, it disgusts people, as her truth is often too much for them to bear. Also, Amaterasu is a sadist to the next degree, toying with the bodies, minds and hearts of her poor, defenseless victims. She is highly superficial, and doesn't show much emotion other than anger, displeasure and a sardonic smile. Savvy?

Zanpakuto Name: Aka no hebi [Red Snake]

Sealed Description: The sword is a silver rapier, unlike the common japanese styled zanpakuto. It's hilt is tainted black with a decal of snakes that adorn the handle of the sword. The rapier finds itself nestled along the woman's left hip, tied with a dark red ribbon across her waist.

Shi-Kai:
Release Command: "Then the angel shall fall, Aka no hebi."

Shikai Release Appearance: Once the command to release the sword's shikai, it's shape immediately morphs into a long, cascading whip of silver and red, with miniscule thorns that contain a special poison concocted by Amaterasu. It resembles the body of a snake, obviously.

Shikai Ability: Her shikai can confuse her victims as well as incapacitate them slowly. Like the Greek Abomination, Medusa, it can easily immobilize it's prey. It's hard to explain how, but the whip contains several poisons which can make it's victim helpless. After three hits, a person weaker than Amaterasu, will find they are unable to move. The stronger the opponent , the more attacks needed to paralyze them. With the paralyzation of her enemy, she easily speeds up her movement, using flash step and taking the confusion on hand and using it to her advantage. With the abilities of Hydra, another Greek monster, the whip, if cut off, will regenerate with more two more whips than the previous, and then the whips give birth to more. The hilt of the blade has to be destroyed to be defeated, but it's hard to do if one is bewildered due to confusion, and gradual petrification.

One little thing about Ameratsu's poison is it's unwillingness to be cured. If it's kept outside of a body, or anything without blood flow for that matter, the poison will congeal, and become useless to people who want to pry into it's secrets. Can't let secrets get out now, can we?

Attacks:

1. Koiringu Gin [Coiling Silver]: Just like its name says, it's coling silver. The move slowly constricts the victim, inserting the paralyzing potion into the body system. How? It protrudes once attached to the outer skin and into the dermis which contain the blood vessels needed to transport the poison through out the body. Although, this move takes quite a while to accomplish. If one carefully studies the snake while feeding, it has to be precise and slow... It's a tedious process. Wait and then strike is the key.

2. Rei shiba no kyūshū [Reishi Absorption]: It absorbs reishi to help quicken the process of Koiringu Gin. But, it's still takes a toll on precious time if in a battle.

3. Chikaku [Perception]: It gives Amaterasu a snake's eye view of situations. For example, in a room covered in darkness, she can find her prey. By putting enhanced venom into her system, she can become like her Zanpakuto spirit, and gain the abilities of snakes, which she adores very much; however, she also needs an anti-venom because the current concoction is quite unstable, and also harms her.

Ban-Kai:

Bankai Name: Aka Hebi Hana [Red Snake Bloom]

Bankai Release Command:"Adam and Eve ate the apple, Aka Hebi Hana."

Bankai Appearance:Run and Hide.

Bankai Traits:The basilisk, although deadly ,is a semi-blind creature, it relies more on its hearing than its sight. Also, it's a large beast therefore, it moves slowly, and recklessly when moving. Due to it's large size and power, Amaterasu sometimes has trouble trying to manipulate the creature to do her bidding.

Bankai Ability: Amaterasu's sword dissipates and turns into a large snake, also known as the Basilisk from old folk tales that left men back in the middle ages hapless, and sought for ways to rid of the beast. But, the woman's beast is much scarier than it's ancestor, due to many experiments which made the beast a toxic creature. It excretes a cloud of noxious gas from its mouth, inhabited by sharp teeth. The gas is a deadly poison,(rather than the paralyzing serum from her shikai), which invokes nausea, vomiting, brief fits of blindness. In short it affects the five senses and numbs them until the person doesn't feel, see, hear, smell, or taste their death. But not only does it hinder the senses useless, its eyes can cause immediate petrification when looked upon. A way to survive its deadly gaze would be to look upon it from another object. Only Amaterasu holds the anti-venom, although, the victim might not survive to intake the antidote in time.

Bankai Attacks:

1. Kirāsutoraiki [Killer Strike]: The basilisk spits out it's acidic, as well as poisonous saliva to hinder the foe's movements. If not to fully stop the opponent, then to slow them down.

Extra Weapons or Items:
Amaterasu has a small bracelet with many circular lockets that contain small vials of anti-venom, just in case. She also has a silver necklace with a cross hanging at the end, doused in basilisk pheromone to help control her pet snake.

Biography:

Biography Before Death: Even before Amaterasu died and was reborn, she was considered a strange woman. Beautiful, yet loony, since you can't get both brain and brawn without an extra. The woman grew up alone, raised in a single parent within a serf household of the 14th Century in Renaissance Britain. Her father was a drunkard,therefore money intake was as scant as the booze in his liquor cabinet. Her mother left them when she was young, not even a baby yet. Her life wasn't as shitty as it sounded though, or maybe it is. From an early age, Amaterasu, then known as Evangeline, endowed with a thirst for knowledge and curiosity sought an education to relieve some of the tension she felt. But, due to her illiteracy, she learned next to nothing by trying to read books, so to quench her greed for education, the woman decided on experimentation as key to her success, because what kind of logical person wouldn't choose the path?

She first started small, the simple concept of adaptation by looking at deer that stray on to her property. While watching for the animals, she would note their different appearance during different seasons, and then examine them. Then the experiments quickly turned into mixing chemicals from different plants, and making them into medicines to cure, or palliate symptoms of sickness, such as the common cold and what not. Her reputation as a "healer" spread across her village, and soon she earned a modest income from her mixtures, which were taken by her father to pay for his drinking. It was an endless cycle.

The young woman not only gained fans, she also accumulated enemies. Local apothecaries and the like became aware of the woman's talent. She was scouted, not for her abilities, but for her beauty. Along with her medicine, it seemed rumors of her physical appearance also made its way across villages, although, she didn't know it at the time. Evangeline accepted a job at a nearby monastary, a few days travel by horseback, accompanied by a man with less than good intentions for his travelling companion. The night of their journey, he took advantage of her vulnerability in the wild, and thought it was a chance to get some pretty lady. He thought wrong, she wasn't as defenseless, as she inserted her first generation paralyzation potion into his arm with a makeshift syringe made out of crudely fashioned pipes.

Of course, with his gradual petrification, he thought it was withcraft, paralysis and all. The woman was a witch, which was why she was so adept at making potions, or why she attracted so many men and why she lived in recluse. To the townspeople, it was evidence and it made sense. So they hung her. The end.

Biography After Death:
The woman woke up in her room, with no memories of what happened earlier that day. Wasn't she supposed to be hung? Standing up quickly and walking to her mirror, she noticed the long chain that hung from her chest, but with no explanation about the awkward looking chain, she knew this wasn't real life anymore, and she was either dreaming or dead. Being a logical woman, she chose the latter, her doubts were correct when she found she could easily pass through random objects.

A few decades later, she found herself spending time trying to learn how to read, by wandering the continent and lurking on study sessions with tutors and students. During, her aimless journey, she found herself in a quiant, yet wayward town of a foreign nation. How she got there, she forgot, but it was a place of danger. Monsters ran after her, and the chain on her chest slowly disappeared. One day, she was approached by a man in an all black garb, with a sword on his left hip. He told her of another world, far beyond the world of the living, as he phrased. He also brought up to her attention of the consequences of staying in the human world far beyond the alotted time, which were the chains, and that she would become one of the grotesque creatures who she constantly ran away from. Evangeline was intrigued, and agreed to the journey.
Enter Seireitei
Amaterasu was the name given to her which meant shining over the heavens, and that was the name she went by. The soul academy was her attempt to extend her knowledge further; learning the japanese language, she spoke it crudely due to her english origins, and to experiment some more and maybe on some subjects this time. While she sharpened her science skills, which, were far beyond average, she shirked her fighting skills, which was another crucial element to her education. But, physical action wasn't her forte. Once it was time to get accepted into squads, she was most compatible with Squad Twelve. At the time, the previous captain still reigned, and she was the replacement third seat, determined by her abilities and such, as the previous shinigami died in an unfortunate accident involving explosions. Being so close to the crazy captain, they could be mistaken as akin to each other, she learned how to make her potions more potent ,longer lasting and stronger than before.

Amaterasu challenged them for the Captain Seat, and he accepted the challenge. The battle lasted almost forever, until the girl finally gained the upper hand by finding a vulnerable spot on the old captain's bankai, and gained the upperhand.

"Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin -- more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man."

_______________________________________________________________________

Even though the woman was kicked around as if she were only a mere doll, Amaterasu's resolution didn't change one bit. Easily, the captain of squad twelve could distinguish the reishi of this little girl, but even the fact that it pushed her to the ground didn't faze her. Amaterasu an unworthy opponent to the little girl who was messing up the basic rules of Squad Eleven? Oh what gall. What nerve to even call the woman that this child faced as an inadequate opponent was a mistake in itself and of its creation.

The Captain of Squad Twelve was not one anyone can take lightly with an insult or two, never did she feel insult affecting her as she had no such feelings in her system; all she new was anger and excitement. A show of emotions that would render her incapable, vulnerable was silly. So. Very. ********. Silly.

All that appeared on Amaterasu's sly face was a grim, mischievous grin. Her physiognomy other worldly, like she was the actual embodiment of Satan's mistress, he who tempted Adam and Eve to create original sin. The snake that found its way into her cold, cruel heart and lay there to gain power, feeding off of her intense anger and her passion for blood. It was a perfect match. A match made in hell, many would say. It was perfect. The prince of darkness was her one and only suitor. Nothing would faze her after making sweet, metaphorical love with the angel who got expelled to the depths of the earth by God.

"I commend you to shut the ******** up, before I rip your lips from your face." The woman stated with her commanding, haughty voice. She didn't need the extra blabber from this tiny b***h. No. What kind of fight would that be? Amaterasu wanted her fights, like she needed her science to become: An Art. An art of volition, of passion, so much so that it becomes pure ecstasy to those who dance the bloody battle. It was no surprise that the perfection of a woman that lay on the ground would want to live her scientific life as an art.

Adeptly but slowly, Amaterasu pushed herself up. In a battle with the woman who proclaimed herself the Queen of Poison, there was no need to rush to the opponent's death, as it was inevitable. "I am not the type who would patiently wait for your theatrics to end."

Amaterasu pulled up the hem of her long, light blue dress to reveal her zanpakuto, or rather a silver, European styled rapier on her perfectly structured left thigh. The notion was quite seductive in itself, but as the woman pulled out the rapier, its silver gleamed and glowed even in the increasing darkness. All the scientist did was chuckle as the sword found its rightful spot on her right hand. The grip she had on her sword was quite loose, as if she didn't really want to hold the device, but did it for show.

"You do know why they call me the Snake Woman, right?" Amaterasu flipped her blonde hair off of her slender shoulders, and with a chuckle, she brought the weapon to her lips and with a small peck on the blade, she whispered its shikai release phase inaudibly: "Then the angel shall fall, Aka no hebi."

The form of her rapier immediately lengthened and stretched to the ground. After the transformation, a whip of silver and red, with miniscule thorns that contain a special poison concocted by Amaterasu. It resembles the body of a snake, obviously. It was her own personal achievement; the epitome of her happiness; her pride and joy. Oh how she loved it.

"Chikaku, my dear." Amaterasu closed her light blue eyes, and when she opened them, the pupils of her eyes were merely slits and reflected those of a snakes. Snake's eye view of the view of this battle in the dark? Oh how petty. It was child's play. Wherever the brat went, she would find her. There was no way to hide heat unless one was dead, but even then one still gives of a significant heat signature. Also, there was no way to hide the vibrations of her steps as it landed wherever. One can only stay afloat for so long before they have to land, and when they do. The snake will strike. Amaterasu already memorized every nook and cranny in her barracks, and there was no place to hide where she can't find the brat.

The woman listened closely to the vibrations the ground made, and quickly, she found the girl, perched on the roof. In a hastened manner, she flash stepped behind the girl, her agility was going to work in her favor now. With a flick of her wrist, the whip moved forward and lashed the girl's back, ripping off the clothes on her back and scratching her with the thorns of her beautiful zanpakuto. Some of the thorns stuck to her back and this made Amaterasu smile.

Once more she brought the whip back and lashed out at the captain of Squad Eleven, aiming to constrict her in the whip's grasp. Either way, her poison was already in her system, and obviously it was potent no matter how minute. Years and years of research went into its creation.

"I'm making this playing field even." Amaterasu hissed, chuckling darkly she knew the poison was already coursing through her veins. There's no escape from it, even if she took out the thorns in her back, it was useless. "But unlike you, I don't need my serpent." It was clear that this little girl wanted to intimidate her from the start.

"Come." A gutteral chuckle escaped the woman's lips. Her snake-like eyes gleaming in the darkness of the battle ground.
