Shinigami - Kuriko - [B-2]

Name: Kuriko Natsume
Age: 92
Gender: Female
Personality:

Kuri is quite the mischievous character. She acts very immature, and often spends her days playing tricks or pranks on anyone and everyone she possibly can. She normally adds Chan as an honorific for anyone she meets, despite being either Lieutenant or Captain Level. Despite her immaturity, she does seem to be fairly intelligent, and often insults people for their lack of common sense. She is very sarcastic, and rarely serious, more often than not simply trying to piss someone off for her own pleasure.

Still, she is fairly kind to those close to her, despite being an immature brat to most. She loves spending her days lying in the grass, or running around the rooftops of Rukongai or the Human World.

She loves to be called 'Kuri-Kuri,' but will respond to Kuri-chan. She'll ignore her full name, or being called by her last name.

Appearance:

Kuri stands at a mere 4'10" with faded yellow hair, normally kept up in pigtails. She appears to be in her mid to late teens, has sky blue eyes, and innocent flushed cheeks. She's normally seen with a playful grin or smile on her face. She's a fairly thin girl, weighing around eighty or ninety pounds. She wears the standard Shinigami Robes, with her sheath on her right side (left handed). She sometimes wears a wooden-beaded bracelet on her wrist, switching from right to left on random occasions, and uses similar styled ties in her hair.

Zanpakuto Spirit:

Mirokumaru (Maitreya circle)

Appearance

Miro (as Kuri calls her) is a small, blue fairy made up of spiritual energy. She usually appears as a shining blue light that follows Kuri around. Her entire body is made up of a faint, blue misty-light coloring. She has long flowing hair, and large wings. Since her appearance is that of spiritual energy, when she flies around, she tends to leave a trail of spiritual particles in her wake. She also happens to wear no clothes, but due to her tiny size, as well as her spiritual aura surrounding her, she just appears as a bright blue light with wings, so wearing clothes just seems unnatural for her.

Personality

Miro's personality is quite mirrored to Kuri's own. She is quite the trouble maker, and is very immature herself. She will, in fact, join in on Kuri's pranks, often offering advice on how to set up a variety of traps, or how to trick people. She gets along great with Kuri because their personalities match so well.

She is, however, always telling Kuri to 'Listen' to her, and though they do get along most of the time, they more often than not form arguments when one of the two are bored, and there's no one else to annoy.

Inner World

Miro's inner world is that of a thick forest, with several wild flowers blooming in an autumn season atmosphere. The sky is barely visible over large trees growing wildly about with no real pathway for anyone to walk. It is mostly night within the inner world, not really portraying to the normal night-day aspects of soul society or the human world.

Sealed Zanpakuto:

In its sealed form, Mirokumaru resembles an ordinary katana. It has a red hilt and a square tsuba.

Shikai Description:

Her Zanpakutō is released by the command "Call forth the Twilight" (夕闇に誘え, Yūyami ni izanae). It takes the form of a Khakkhara when released.

Shikai Abilities:

Mirokumaru has the power to create and control tornadoes. Her spiritual pressure is wind-based, as is her Zanpakuto, which also seems to flutter with randomly placed autumn leaves.

Toppuu (Gust of Wind)

With a shout and a swing of her polearm, Kuri is able to command the element of wind to aid in her physical attacks, normally, at the end of a combination, or used as a protective. It is a fairly basic, standard attack and her most commonly used.

Tatsumaki (Tornado)

This attack creates a powerful gust of winds that spiral at the center of her polearm and branches outward, normally, reaching the ground. This attack is normally done from the air and pointed downward (the attack always curving toward gravity), however, she can control the attack and its path. It's her strongest offensive attack

Kazetama (Wind sphere)

Kuri creates a sphere of wind to surround her, which blocks some minor attacks, or decreases some of the damage of major attacks. This type of defense is especially effective to block fire-based attacks.

History/Background:

Kuri grew up as a noble girl who always seemed to get into trouble. She wasn't really spoiled, and was constantly punished due to always playing pranks, or cracking jokes. She never held up her noble persona, and never really liked her family's name.

She got into trouble at a young age and never seemed to grow out of it. Her parents, apart of the Natsume noble house, were well respected, but her child was considered a 'monster' child among their house. Still, she grew up immature, and seems she'll always have that sort of personality. She loved to play hide-and-seek, and often played with her one and only friend; one of the maids of the house, Minako. Despite never using proper honorifics, she often referred to Minako as her Senpai, since she was one of her school tutors. Because of her fond relationship to Minako, Kuri became a fairly intelligent woman, though it was hard for her to truly grow up.

Eventually, the childish antics of Kuri became too much for their family that they had blamed it on Minako's influence, and ended up firing her. Kuri hated her parents for their harsh decision and had vowed never to forgive them, leaving the home late at night and running away. She was only twelve years old at the time... though in Soul Society, that was nearly forty human years. Even with all that time, she was fairly inexperienced with the world.

Eventually, she was found by none other than Minako herself. The woman, as it turned out, had found a job working as a servant for the Fon family, and worked on the grounds of the second division. While shopping for dinner ingredients, the elder woman had spotted the familiar blond child and hastily took her in. After some consideration, Kuri was accepted into the Shinigami Academy, despite her parents' wishes, due to her spiritual pressure being recognized. It wasn't abnormally high, or anything special, but it was enough that she met the requirements to enter the academy.

Kuri spent most of her days in ditching classes to spend time with Minako. Somehow, the girl had managed to graduate, though had not yet been dictated a division. When she finally had, she slacked off on her duties quite often, and ran off to spend time with Minako. To the child, Minako is more her mother than her own flesh and blood. She'd do anything to protect the relationship she had with her.

Though unseated, Kuri was able to develop her Shikai and learned the name of her Zanpakuto. To her approval, it seemed her Zanpakuto's spirit was quite the mirrored version of her own. The two are quite happy with one another, and being so young, are in no rush to grow up.

Because of her constant 'running,' Kuri is well known for her Shunpo ability. Though nowhere near the level of 'Master,' for her age and rank, she is quite adept to her ability, thus making her decision to stay close to Minako and join the second division from a plausible hope to a minor possibility.

RP Sample:

"Hehehe," came the childish chuckling of a blond haired, blue eyed teen-appearing Shinigami. A string was attached to her hand, her eyes nearly nonexistent due to the large grin plastered upon her features. That stringed wire seemed nearly invisible to the naked eye, as she trailed it walking backwards along the hallways of her division.

"Kuri-Kuri?"

"Senpai?" Kuri blinked as she turned to find the elder brunette standing behind her, arms filled with a basked of folded Shinigami robes. The petite blond quickly turned to face the woman, string quickly kept hidden in her fist while her hands were placed behind her back.

"You're not causing trouble again, are you?" Minako arched an eyebrow to the girl, knowing that mischievous grin all too well.

"Not at all, Mina-senpai," Kuri smiled innocently, despite being caught. The woman was silent, then let out a reluctant sigh.

"Just don't get chased by Ōmaeda-san again," Minako stated as she shook her head. "I really don't want to listen to his long rants about you while serving dinner."

"I won't!" Kuri chimed as the woman passed her by. That innocent smile quickly shifted back to a grin, unable to hide that sinister chuckle.

"Wha-what the fawk?!"

The sound was shouted several doors down, and with a quick tug of the string, a variety of sounds were unleashed to fill the hallway. Metal clanging against metal, followed by the cursing man letting out a few more well chosen words. The blond girl couldn't help but chuckle uncontrolably, smaking her hand against her knee.

"Kuriko!!!!"

"Oh shit," Kuri let out a quick yelp as she saw the man, covered in a variety of food ingredients, peeking his head out of one of the doorways. "It wasn't me!"

And with that, the girl sprinted as fast as her well experienced Shunpo-developed abilities would take her, knowing that she couldn't be caught again!
