General Information
--------------------
Name: Lin Yue
Actual Age: 247
Appearing Age: 17~
Gender: Female
Appearance
Truly a lovely girl with a cute face, she has a soft, pale complexion to contrast with her long silk raven black hair she keeps tied in a pair of long pigtails. Her eyes are a dark shade of purple that often to hold a stern gaze. She stands nearly five foot if she is lucky, though the heels of her boots can give her an extra couple inches when she summons them. Yue's body frame is quite lean and slim, and holds a very feminine grace to every movement.
Lin Yue's Shinigami uniform is unique, though it is still of the traditional primary black and secondary white coloring. The top is a black double-breasted blazer with a high somewhat mandarin-style collar with white trim and cuffs. Her hakama is reminiscent of Lisa Yadomaru being very short resembling quite closely to a very short skirt, though hers is white and the length of her black shirt covers the front of back of it; while around her thin waist is the traditional white obi sash of the Shinigami uniform with the extra length tucked away and hidden. Yue does not wear anything on her feet except for her sealed zanpakuto bangles, and her being bear foot unveils a pair of cross-like scars on the front of her feet level with her ankles.
Personality
For the most part the girl is up right and proper, but that is not to say she is picture perfect in attitude. While she attempts to remain calm, unconsciously she finds herself acting rashly and giving into anger. Though, much the same can be said about many who serve in the Gotei 13, and in her case it is not better or worse than any others. While she does conform quite well to the rigid laws of Seireitei and Gotei 13, she goes against the grain a little by wearing her own unique uniform. It is one of the very few marks of 'rebellion' she ever shows, otherwise she follows quite thoroughly to the conformity of the Gotei 13.
Known for being a good leader when required of her, she has been marked more than once for mixing it up and socializing with her other Division members. She often recognizes she has an innocence to her, and strives to fight or conceal it by being more stern than she actually is, even feeling guilt from time to time when she catches herself being a little more heavy handed than she needs to be. Her reasoning for fighting that aspect of her personality is attempting not to be subject to naivete, which could leave her open too many vulnerabilities that can be exploited.
Having been part of 1st Division throughout her career in Gotei 13, she has gained a passionate and near unwavering sense of justice having served in the former Captain-Commander Yamamoto's command for so long. With a rigid sense of law and order, it fuels her continued desire to serve as a Shinigami. Those like Tousen she loathes to no end, speaking endlessly of justice, yet proving to be nothing more than hypocrite in the next instance when they are made to prove the worth of their words. Hypocrisy seems to boil her blood the most, and it is that that often proves to be her hubris when striving to keep calm.
Fun facts: She has a penchant for watermelon, even being suckered from time to time for just a watermelon treat. Sleeps in a pink teddy and white silk bed sheets. She keeps an immaculate room largely do to being an OCD case. Indulges in exceedingly long hot spring baths, truly an addict for them.
History
By an immense level of irony in a way, Lin Yue in life was a Quincy, who in her time did freelance work as an exorcist. She was unique in the sense that she did not use projectile weaponry as most other Quincy did, instead she used a pair of Quincy bangles and wore them around her ankles and fought in hand to hand combat with the reiatsu generated by the bangles covering her legs; so the kicks would rip into the Hollows she fought. Albeit, tragedy did not evade her for long as she eventually met her match with a very powerful Adjuchas class Hollow, leading to her death. As a spirit she narrowly managed to escape it devouring her, but in the next instance several Shinigami attacked it, while one stopped to send her soul to Seireitei leading her to become a Shinigami, the very beings she hated so passionately in life.
With no memory of what she was in life, she became acclimated into Seireitei society quite well. She was reborn into a loving Shinigami family, neither rich nor poor, but was well provided for and cared for. Yue loved her family, and worked to do all she could to make them proud of her. It was that very desire to make them proud of her and do right by them that lead her to join the Academy to become part of the Gotei 13.
The poor girl was often mocked however for her lack of ability with a blade. But, those who derided her for her limited ability with a melee weapon were instantly silenced by her natural, vicious prowess at Hakudo, her ability and strength with such proved profound. Her great speed and immense understanding for Shunpou only exclaimed this making her a vicious combatant. While her ability with Kidou was decent, it still paled in comparison with her understanding for Hakudo and Shunpou.
When she graduated it was curious as to where she would go to serve in the Gotei 13. Many of her peers assumed she would turn to 2nd Division, not but a few Captains and Vice-Captains at the time as well; largely do to the fact the 2nd Division possesses many Hakudo masters, and largely because of its attachment to the Omnitsukido, who are primarily Hakudo assassins. In the end it was because of her sense of pride and justice and duty to maintaining law and order she applied to serve in the 1st Division under the Captain-Commander Yamamoto.
Yue fell under Yamamoto's scrutiny from time to time because of her uniform. The shirt she wore in place of the standard gi, it resembled so closely to a Quincy uniform only being black rather than white, that it left her often reprimanded and scorned by the old man. Yet, she was a proper Shinigami in every other sense, serving dutiful and following her Captain's orders to the letter; which granted some small reprieve from Yamamoto's scorn. Eventually, she earned just enough respect by him to not be reprimanded for her uniform any longer and merely looked upon disapprovingly.
It was because all of that Yue never went far within the 1st Division despite her ability. Nevertheless, she remained loyal to her Division and her Captain. It was never about position with her to begin with, though there eventually did come a time when her faith was shaken.
It was some hundred years after having become a Shinigami. Crossing the paths of group of Quincy that were dying in battle against numerous Hollows, one of which was of Lin lineage and looked just like herself. The sight haunted Yue immensely, leading her to investigate the matter thoroughly. It was during investigation she learned of her reality, that she was a Quincy who died and was reborn as a Shinigami of Seireitei. Her beliefs as a Quincy begun to resurface within her as if by instinct, which begun to conflict with her duty as a Shinigami.
With her past and present ideologies in conflict, she elicited to remove herself from Seireitei for a time. During her self-inflicted exile she continued to train, it was all she really saw that the two racial lines had in common, remaining sharp and diligent to stop the spread of darkness and chaos Hollows bring. Even achieving bankai in her time of isolation, and approaching the levels of a Shunpou master. But even approaching such heights meant little to her as her beliefs remained in limbo.
Nearly a century and a half later is when the troubles erupted within Seireitei, the rise of Aizen, and the fall of Yamamoto. Yue never believed Seireitei could fall victim to such disarray and disorder. After Aizen's inevitable return after his first defeat a few years later, Yue decided she could not be idle any longer. What she was in the past was immaterial to what she is now, a Shinigami. The girl, Lin Yue, who was once a Quincy died in battle, and now in her place is the Shinigami Lin Yue, which is all that truly matters.
At long last having set aside her ideological conflict, Yue returned to Seireitei enlisting into her old Division with it now under Captain-Commander Unohana's command - a Captain that Yue never knew during her career, but respected her reputation greatly...

Name: No Name

Unreleased Appearance
A pair of dark red bangles worn around her ankles.
--------------------
Zanpakutō Spirit
--------------------
Name: Lantian (Blue Sky)
Gender: Female
Spirit Appearance
The little spirit part of Yue's soul is a little wind fairy. A speedy little thing, often seen as just a bright glowing ball of light without looking very closely at her to see her tiny little slim feminine naked blue body. She has long flowing bluish-blonde hair, and pair of clear butterfly-like fairly wings. The little wind spirit is really no bigger than Yue's hand.
Personality
She is a mischievous spirit often prone to pulling little tricks on her wielder, but it seems to be out of a bit of crush for Yue, as the little fairy often likes to make lustful comments about Yue's pulchritude. Playful and whimsical, it is often easy for Yue to get what information she needs from her spirit with the promise of playing a game or going on an adventure.
Relationship to Master
Regardless of Lantian's antics, she will never admit that she has something of a crush on her master. When getting to play games with Yue, it is truly best moments for the little wind spirit enjoying every second preciously. Yue recognizes this and never says anything about it, she merely takes it for what it is, for it is a kinship and friendship that she enjoys and treasures.
Inner World
The little sprite's inner world is a vast open field with high, lush green grass. Wind is constantly blowing often dependent upon Lantain's mood, which is often synchronized with Yue's own mood. When they are calm the breeze is gentle with a clear blue sky above, synonymous with Lantain's name. Or another example being, when angry the wind blows hard and wild with a dark and eerie sky with a menacing full moon.
--------------------
Zanpakutō Shikai
--------------------
Let me soar to your greatest heights, Lantian...:
Translation - N/A
Shikai Appearance
The pair of dark red bangles transform into a pair of glossy black thigh high boots with heels the moment Yue utters the command. Cyan hues reiatsu radiates from the ankles of the boots, and when making her exceedingly swift kicks the reiatsu can cut as cleanly as a razor blade.
Shikai Abilities
Wuji: Xuanfeng (Dancing Skill: Whirlwind)
- Description of Attack - With a swift spin kick she sends a blast of tornado-like wind right for her target. The lashing whirling winds attempt to shred apart what they strike. Its function is much like the Kidou Hadou spell, Tenran.
- Type - Wind
- Range - 30 meters
- Limitation - This attack burns reiryoku just as the actual Kidou spell Tenran does.
Wuji: Genjian Huapo (Dancing Skill: Heel Slash)
- Description of Attack - This is a somewhat passive ability. With each spin kick she creates an arcing crescent blade of reiatsu that can slice her target.
- Type - Wind
- Range - Hand to Hand
- Limitation - Drains a dash of reiatsu with each strike.
Wuji: Chongjili (Dancing Skill: Impact)
- Description of Attack - With a great release of reiatsu she stomps on her target with great speed crushing the target beneath her boots. The cyan hued reiatsu lashes, drills, and shreds whatever it strikes along with crushing the object.
- Type - Spirit
- Range - Hand to Hand
- Limitation - This is a very strong attack and does cost Yue a fair amount of reiatsu with the power implied as it can be quite destructive.
--------------------
Zanpakutō Bankai[
--------------------
Name: Lantian Jingling Xuezi
Translation - Blue Sky Fairy Boots
Bankai Appearance
Little changes about the boots in overall appearance though three rings form above the ankle and the heels become sharper. However, a pair of fairy-like wings sprout from the heel of both boots. Also, when moving exceptionally fast or when attacking a glowing orange ring takes form around the wings, and from between the rings more cyan hued reiatsu radiates from them aside from the reiatsu that exudes from the ankles when she makes her kicks and attacks.
Bankai Abilities
Hua'erzi: Shen Chongjili (Waltz: Deep Impact)
- Description of Attack - A far more vicious and more powerful variation of Wuji: Chongjili. It is her most powerful attack and depletes every last shred of her reiatsu to the point her zanpakuto reverts to its sealed form as she has nothing left to sustain it. Her boots take the form of immense blades several times her own size, and she falls from the sky down upon her target with the force and strength of 40,000 megatons, equal to a meteor. The destruction unleashed is incredible to say the least.
- Type - Spirit
- Range - 200+~ meters
- Limitation - As described it is extremely taxing as she can only use this technique once every three to five days after a healthy dose of bed-rest and minute activity.
Wuqiong Hua'erzi (Endless Waltz)
- Description of Attack - A passive ability functioning much like Wuji: Genjian Huapo only it does not just apply to her spin kicks or heel kicks. The cyan hued reiatsu radiating from her ankles and heels of her every step lash about potentially slashing and slicing apart whatever her boots touch.
- Type - Spirit/Wind
- Range - Hand to Hand
- Limitation - Though, also much like Wuji: Genjian Huapo, this passive effect depletes a dash of reiatsu with each action.
Hua'erzi: Xuanfeng (Waltz: Whirlwind)
- Description of Attack - Simply a much stronger version of Wuji: Xuanfeng, and unleashes at the incredible strength of level 3 tornado (condensed to being 50 feet in diameter) ripping apart the lands and/or objects it strikes with its unimaginably powerful winds, which can prove to be quite vile to the person(s) it strikes.
- Type - Wind
- Range - 100~ meters
- Limitation - Due to the power involved this does cost a fair amount of reiatsu to unleash.

Sample Post
--------------------
Gently closing her dark purple eyes, only a trice after opening them once again she found herself standing in a vast grassy field. Yue recognized it instantly with its tall grass reaching up to being level with her waist. The sky above a light shade of blue with soft rolling white clouds slowly drifting across the vast blue as both the sky itself and the field stretched as far as the eye can see.
A little smile grew on Yue's face as she begun walking further into field hearing in the distance an ever so familiar tiny, high-pitched impish giggle. With near blinding speeds Yue scarcely saw a little blue streak of light skip across the top of the high grass before disappearing beneath its tall lengths once again. The girl knew what the little fairy was up to and what she wanted to do.
Abruptly the little fairy popped back up above the grass, but she huffed in vexation, Yue was not there any more. But a loud, though ever so tiny, "Eeep!", the little fairy as she found herself suddenly caught in Yue's hands from behind her, "Cheater!", the little fairy declared.
Yue giggled with a wide, happy smile as she opened up her hands with the little fair standing in the very palm of her left turned up hand with the little fairy's fists resting upon her little hips, Yue snickered at the sight as she retorted, "Only because I caught you."
"Yeah!", replied the little fairy as if it were obvious and fact that should be respected, "I play tricks on you, not the other way around!"
Yue could not help but giggle once again, "Ok, fine, I'm sorry, Lantian.", the girl conceded to her zanpakuto spirit.
The tiny fairy beamed ever so widely, "Good!", but only within the blink of an eye the little fairy vanished from Yue's sight with such a blinding speed.
In the next instant Yue's eyes popped open wide as her face blushed red suddenly feeling some fly under her hakama and pinch her butt with tremendous speed, then fly back out from under her hakama off to who knows. Hearing the little mischievous giggles in the distance as the little fairy darted about, Yue's face still bright red as she exclaimed the fairy's name scoldingly, "LANTIAN!!!", but the whimsical fairy seemed not to care as she danced off into the distance with blinding speeds.
