Personality:
When meeting her for the first time, she can be described as intimidating because her eyes always seem to be in a glare when talking. She is very quiet, only talking to people when they address her or call her, but she easily says her responses in her mind. She is actually quite hard-headed, and stubborn if you get to know her.
With people she is fairly comfortable with she is a bit more laid back and smiles quite a bit. When working with children though, her personality does a complete 360. She smiles a lot and plays with children in the rukongai district when she isn't drowning in work or visiting her brother. One of the main things she enjoys to do is to visit the children who do not have families and the ones that stay with her brother.
Like everyone though, she does have a temper. Her quiet and secluded self can change when she gets irritated or when her temper explodes she becomes a loud woman yelling out her orders, or battle cries. The children she plays with though, have never seen this side of her.
In battle, she is analytical, watching the opponents every moves to counter it as soon as they finish attacking. She doesn't speak in battle, her eyes do all the talking for her. She focuses on fast strikes and tried not to unseal her Zanpaktou unless it is really needed.
Character Strengths:
-In battle, she focuses on fast strikes towards the opponent. Her speed is one of her main advantages in a battle.
-She is a quick, analytical thinker, using her surrondings to her advantages and watching out for anymore movements that the opponent may do to see if there is another twist in it or maybe a hidden meaning.
-When protecting people, she is very determined. She is willing to attack the enemy as a distraction to get the people out first before fighting.
-Shiro is also an expert in her Hado skills mainly, since to use her Zanpaktou she needed a good rieatsu control so she used her Kido training to help with that.
-Despite her smaller size she is able to hold her own well against bigger hollows or even people by beating them with her speed and agility.
Character Weaknesses:
-Her temper is one of the biggest things. Her temper rises the longer she fights with an opponent, and when it snaps she doesn't think about her actions well anymore.

Zanpakuto Name:Ten no uta (Heaven's Song)
Sealed Description:A normal size Katana, hangs at her left side.
Spirit Form Description: Spirit
Shi-Kai: "Sing and Purify, Ten No Uta!" (Heaven's song)
Shikai Form
The first thing that changes is the size. Her sword changes from a traditional katana to a regular sized flute. Despite its size though, it still can cut deeply like a Katana can but its range is seriously decreased. It may look wooden, but it is as hard and sharp as a sword is. When held up to her lips, it said that the air grows colder and colder, which is her reiatsu as it starts to perform notes she uses.
The flute, when played can be heard in a wide diameter. It uses sounds waves and air pressure to shatter things into dust. It works well on weaker hollow. On a higher level hollow, it has the ability to burst their eardrums so their hearing sense is gone if this does happen.
While blowing the flute, a blast of condensed sound and reiatsu is fired out of the flute once played.
While playing her flute, depending on her melody she plays it can result in these skills:
-Rhapsody: A blast of sound waves at the enemy, it can hit them back and away from her or cut into the flesh if she plays sharp.
-Stacatto: Fast blasts of sound that are played sharp of blades of wind.
-Legato: Slower speed, but more accurate blades that are sent to the enemy.
-Symphonic: Blasts of sound appears around her as orbs, and each are used to float around her. These orbs can be shot towards the opponent, or used to block attacks and keep distance around her.
-Sound wall-She blows a continuous note, holding it to create a barrier around herself or people. The more wider it is, the weaker it gets.
-Presto:A fast tempo, when played it allows her to send fast blast of sound at the opponent.
Ban-Kai: Sing and purify, call to the heavens, Ten no seinaru!
Bankai (Heaven's Holy Song)
Along with her greater range, she is able to fight close combat as well. The shikai abilities are still in effect, so she has the ability to burst someone's eardrum still if they listen to the playing for an extended period of time.
The attack that changes a bit is the previous ability which was to shoot a condensed sound with rieatsu. It changes by taking the form and attacking as a sound wave then in the shikai attack. This allows the rieatsu to be seen once again to signal the attack.
Another effect that happens is the diameter of her range increases greatly, and the people inside are said to go crazier the longer they stay in the diameter. The music she plays influences the people, like how music does to normal people to make them feel happy or sad.
In her bankai form while playing the longer the people listen to the music makes their sanity level drop and drop until they get so insane it can lead to suicide or even having them attack one another if there are multiple enemies. Wherever she moves, the diameter goes too. The only way to stop the effect of music is to leave the diameter.
This does take quite an amount of rieatsu though. This song is called Perish song, to show that if the enemy stays in the diameter for so long, it can result in death.

Bakudou: #1-#80
Hado: #1-67
Path Specialty: Bakudou
Abilities/Special Training:
-Shunpo (Flash Step)
A movement technique that allows the user to move faster than the eye can follow. The user forces a stream of energy in front of them, along a path of their choosing, then takes one step into the stream. They are then propelled exceptionally fast through the stream to reappear at the opposite side. Whilst in the stream it is very hard to spot the user's movements unless you are an equal or higher rank. Shunpo can easily be used to almost instantly move from one place to another.
-Air Walk
The ability to walk on air using spiritual energy. By collecting and solidifying Spiritual Particles beneath their feet, Soul Reapers can gain traction on thin air to either freely move about or to stop themselves from falling. It cannot necessarily be used very often, especially for officers. It is an ability that can only be temporarily used but cannot last for a very long period of time. For Lieutenants however, they can stay on air for quite a bit longer. For captains, it can be held for quite a long while considering the great amount of Reiatsu within a Captain-ranking individual.
-Idou Senkou (Flash Movement)
This technique is actually quite simple for those who have conditioned their body for high-speed combat movements and have a decent level of control over their Reiatsu. Idou Senkou is a technique that can be used by channeling your Reiatsu through a specific part of the body to increase the muscular reaction impulses so that the user may move that part of the body at speeds that rival Shunpo (Flash Step). This technique can be very tiring to the user because constantly increasing your muscle reactions strains those muscles. Even for those who are used to high speed movement find that this technique should only be used if they are having issues landing a hit on their opponent(s).
-Senka (Flash Blossom)
Although Shunpo is connected with this ability, this technique possess a unique name and style of its own. This technique is known as Senka (Flash Blossom), a Flash Step combined with a spin to quickly move behind the enemy, followed by a strike aimed to destroy the Saketsu Chain and the Hakusui Soul Sleep with a combination of two quick sword thrusts. This technique is one of the two that Youruichi developed mixing Shunpo to complete its ability. Senka can be performed without the particular sword attacks though, simply to Flash Step behind an enemy, and make it so that you face towards their back.
-Shunpo Master
Biography:
Childhood:
She was born in the Rukongai district with her twin brother. Their parents abandoned when they they looked to be about a child's age and they were together ever since. Her brother and her personality clashes. She was always quiet and shy while he was loud and impulsive, always willing to jump into a brawl. Her brother used to protect her from everything that would have harmed her, from people to even shinigamis if needed.
When she was a teen, she saw a group of shinigamis running toward the district while she was walking around to just explore a little more outside of the district. They were talking about a hollow that fled near the place the siblings lived. It seemed that the hollow was first sighted in the forest, but as it was attacked by the shinigami it started to flee towards the rukongai district, with the shinigamis hot on is trail.
Alarmed by this, she went back to the house quickly just to witnessed the injured hollow attacking her brother while he tried to get some of the other younger kids away. Her brother was trying to fight it back with a piece of wood, which he dropped when the hollow knocked him aside. Without thinking, she threw a rock at the hollows head to distract it. It worked, it stared to chase her sine it could sense reiatsu from her. She ran back to the shinigami and they quickly got rid of it, much to her relief. Her brother was alright, thankfully, but he couldn't speak as well as he used to.
The shinigamis then tried to recruit her into the academy, which at first she was hesitant, but joined when her brother told her too. He gave her a small charm to wish her good luck and to hopefully protect her.
Academy Days:
In the academy, she was always a quiet student. She never felt comfortable in the crowds of other students or with the teachers. Even though she had this feeling, she studied hard, easily obtaining high marks in order to graduate sooner. Shiro kept the charm close to her at all times, she found some comfort in it after she graduated.
Theme(s):
Character:Bad Apple
Battle: Floating Darkness
Bankai: Spinning Song
Roleplay Example:
Shiro yawned to herself as she walked around the human world's roofs. It was night time. The air was nice and cool and the only light that lit the city was the moon's cold light along with the stars.
She had been ordered to patrol the human world with a squad which she had done at the start, but she had chosen to go ahead of them with the excuse of scouting. Why?
She didn't play well with others.
Most shinigamis did stay together in a group but well, she never liked traveling and fighting when other people were around. It wasn't because she thought she was strong, it was only so she didn't need to worry about other people while she fought.
After all, one second of hesitation could lead to death in this line of work.
She had seen people die before, just because of someone from their squad yelling for help. If they didn't die, they were injured enough to stay out of the fight. That always proved to be troublesome since now the squad had one man down, or two counting the one that had distracted them in the first place.
She expelled her thoughts by running a hand through her white hair. With a sigh, she turned back to look around for the other shinigamis she had to travel with for now. They still didn't catch up yet? Oh well...more time for her to wander in her thoughts.
That's when she heard a crash in the distance, along with a roar of victory and a terrified scream. Blinking, she used flash step to get head towards the sounds quickly and quietly. When she arrived at the scene, her Zanpaktou was out and in front of her was a giant hollow. It had 6 hands, all used as legs. The piercing white mask had its mouth part opened wide, ready to swallow the girl alive if needed too. Along with serpent like body with of course, a hole where the heart was supposed to be. It was amazing on how much she could hate these things.
It was then she noticed a small quivering body under it. In a flash, she was in front of the small body, blocking the hollows hand as it reached for it. She grunted as it tried to push against her blade, attempting to shatter it. She glanced at the small body, reconizing it as a little boy's ghost. "Tsk.." Was all she said, as she pushed against the hollows hand upwards. Quickly, her other hand came up and pointed at the hollows arm.
"HadÅ #4. Byakurai" She chanted.
White lighting shot from the tips of her fingers and ripped into the hollow's flesh as it yelled out in pain. As soon as the spell ended, she grabbed the spirit and flashed stepped away from the area. They were now on one of the roofs. She looked to see her other squad members heading her way. ".." She quickly pointed to the kid, and flashed stepped back to the area where the hollow was at. She was going to finish it off.
"Sing and Purify, Ten no Uta." She said softly.
Her Zanpaktou glowed white, and the size was reduced greatly. As it changed to the shikai flute form, she held it to her lips and looked at the hollow. The hollow let out a roar and charged at the female shinigami, until it stopped all of a sudden.
It was too late for the hollow, Shiro had already started to play her flute. The flute was making a beautiful sounds as she blew into it, switching from notes to notes easily and smoothly. The hollow started to scream again in pain and started to shake visibly. A few more high notes and it would end it all. Wanting to end it quickly, she went to the highest note of the song she was playing.
The hollow roared once again, as the mask shattered and vanished in black smoke.
With a soft sigh, her zanpaktou switched back to the katana and she slipped it back into her sheath at her side. The only thought in her mind was this;
Would this ever end?
