Shikai Abilities/Attacks
Major
-Allows Tasia to wield/control plant life. She can have the vegetation grow to her will, animate, form objects, heal, etc. She also has a few specialized attacks in this form:
-The Staff: The staff's seven leaf blades are able to be controlled by De's concious thoughts. They can be shot from her staff and manipulated as needed. The Staff is capable of growing plants from the mortal and Soul Society realms and use them for their purposes as well as animate them into an objects such as a nightshade bomb. (awakening the Staff takes a cool down of two posts. If it is silenced, or separated from Tasia at any point the cool down will be put in place)
-Ayani Roses: These roses grow on vines and are a deep red in color. The vines can be grown from her staff and used as a whip, rope, or summarily similar object. The thorns are capable of cutting through most materials and can clash with blades. The vines are thick and reinforced with her own reiatsu. The petals are similar in aspect to the vines, and are razor sharp. (Awakening the roses after the first awakening requires a two post cool down)
-Barrier of Thorns: A wall of thorns up to 12ft high by 15ft in diameter that can if needed grow a domed roof of protection of 12 feet high. Cool down of six posts needed.
-Waking the Vines: Awakens the nearby vegetation (vegetation inside a 150meter range) and aligning it towards Tasia. It will respond to her commands. A cool down of ten posts needed. Waking the Vines is only needed to be repeated when Tasia is moved outside her original range of 150m.
-Poison: Various plant poisons administered through thorns and plant bodies. A cool down of four posts needed.
Other unnamed attacks exist, she just doesn't find the need to name them.
Minor
-Allows her to acess the various attributes and abilities of the beasts in the animal kingdom. The agility of the monkey, claw of the tiger, eyesight of the falcon, etc. Only three can be paired at a time. (Switching an ability requires a two post cool down per post)
Bankai
Bankai Release Command:
"Fall to the thorns,"
Bankai Appearance:
In the bankai stage Tasia adapts to her own abilities.
Bankai Abilities/Attacks
Bankai still allows Tasia to control, manipulate, etc. plantlife, but to a more refined extent. All attacks from her shikai are still usable here.
-Camouflage: Anastasia can now camouflage her body to blend in with her surroundings, and if needed, shift into a plant based form to grow into trees, the ground, etc, and take on the aspect of the plant she is portraying. i.e. if a rose she has thorns, if nightshade her skin is toxic.This only applies to plants in the area of the toxic plants created by the instant. In doing so, she can also create a thick armor of bark can be grown. The bark is as strong as titanium alloy steel. It bark is kept as a belt and can grow over her skin, as well as shaped into objects.
-Adaption: Tasia can now shift her body to grow into the plant life of the forest created by her instant. Her body can now take on the characteristics of the plant life she adapts to. For example: Nightshade would render her skin toxic, vines would allow her to create whips from her arms, etc. *Toxic Air: A spin off of Poison, this sends spores of toxic plantlife into the air that will burn the skin and if breathed, depending on the spores released, may cause hallucination, suffocation, headaches, unconciousness, and possible death. This is a ranged attack of 200m. Can only be used twice in a match situation.
*Waking the Forest: Similar to Waking the Vines, this allows Tasia to give the forestry or plantlife sentient thought but not emotion and humanoid forms, as well as still aligning the plantlife to her. It is similar to her 'avatar' creation. The plantlife must stay relatively close to Tasia, maintaing at least a distance of 150m. A three post cool down is needed after each use. If Tasia is moved to another location out of her 150m range, she must awaken that forest after the cool down period.
*Swamp Barrier: An adaption from Barrier of Thorns. The wall of thorns still rises with the same 12ft by 15ft parameters, but inside a swamp like habitat grow, allowing for emergency use of plants and a small sanctuary, this defensive maneuver lasts only ten minutes. It's cool down is five posts.
-At the bankai stage Tasia can still access the various attributes of the animal kingdom.
*Anthromation: When Tasia accesses the traits of an animal, she also has the ability to shift into that animal, although in a larger than normal size.When using this ability she must take about a five to ten minute break between switching to another form. Half transformation: She may also choose to only change her features half way. Giving herself the eyes of a wolf, the tail of a fox, etc. She can only combine 4 different animal species aspects at a time.
***Calling of the Beasts: Tasia may now call the beasts of the animal kingdom to her aid. This works on 'mythical' and average beasts. They do not have to be indigenous to the area, but the summoning may take longer if they aren't. The beasts appear as 'avatars' they aren't technically alive, but act as much. The ramifications for avatars are as follows:
-->There can be three small avatars on the plane at one time. (i.e. hawk, fox, badger, etc.) A cool down of one post is needed after the avatars are dismissed
-->There may be only three medium animals on a plane at a time (i.e. wolf, deer, tiger) A cool down of two post is needed after the avatars are dismissed.
-->There can be only one large avatar on one plane at a time (i.e. elephant, giraffe, rhino) A cool down of three posts is needed after the avatars are dismissed.
-.->There may be only two mythical beasts on a plane at a time, provided they are not direct enemies in the actual order of things. (i.e. a unicorn cannot be with a dragon, a phoenix with a kelpie, etc.) A cool down of three posts needed after the avatars are dismissed.
-->Mixtures are possible. 2 small can be with one large or medium. Two medium with one large, and one small with a mythical. A cool down of mixtures is as follows. Two posts, Three posts, four posts.

Biography:
Before Death:
Tasia Izumi had it all. The money, the looks, the brilliant family. She was the perfect daughter. All star gymnast and martial artist, straight 'A' student, charitable and humorous.
Her entire life looked perfect, at least on the outside.
It was the evening of her 21 birthday when it first started. Odd shadows seemed to follow her, strangers cloaked in mystery seemed to stare at her any where she went. She'd always felt a menacing air during the Winter Solstice, but this was different.
She had hurried home. Her parents had thrown her a small part. She'd laughed and grinned. At the end of the night she was given a small charm bracelet from her mother and father. Then, it grew worse.
Screams filled her nightmares,dark images slit through her thoughts in broad daylight. It continued through the year. She dropped gymnastics, her moods flared from docile to furious, everything was tumbling down.
On the evening of December 20 everything fell apart. A pale figure stopped her on her way home. She saw a flash, heard a destructive crack, and then everything went dark.
After Death:
Tasia had awakened in a strange world. It was different here, she could sense so much...a glint of silver had caught her eye. The charm bracelet glinted on her wrist. It was all she had left of that life.
She later found out where she was, what she was...shingaimi. And, she found out what killed her. A hollow, they'd said. She had been some evil thing's lunch. A small casualty. It was her own anger and sense of injustice that fueled her. She set out to join the elite of the realm. The gifted, the great, the exalted. The Soul Reapers.
