In Character

General Information
--------------------
Name: Hana Niwa
Actual Age: 200
Appearing Age: 20
Gender: Male
Appearance
Hana is a short and slim man. He has very feminine features compared to other males. He also stands at about five feet and two inches tall and weighs about 110 pounds. Body type wise He is slim and fit. He is not very muscular but, he is definitely slightly toned which gives him sort of a pear shaped figure. When he walks he actually walks with a skip in his step and almost a sort of hip pop. He does the hip pop mostly on purpose. Skin tone wise he is rather pale but, not to the point of looking sickly.
Hana has long hair that flows down to the middle of his back. His bangs hang off to the sides of his face and feathered, over his forehead going a little to the right. He also wears his hair in a really long braided ponytail. His hair looks like it is almost styled to look a little messy. He has also been known to let his hair fly loose but that is normally saved for relaxed or party occasions. His hair is blueish-gray in color, in moon light it doesn't really change but in sunlight it seems to give off a faded glow.
Hana has a rather feminine looking face. Some could possibly describe him as pretty though this is more apparent with a little bit of makeup he might wear. Mostly a eye liner and maybe a little blush. His mouth is small and pouty and his skin clear and clean. It is very rare that he doesn't present himself before people without a smile on his face. His eyes are actually a dull pink, not really seeming to give off emotion, though Hana will deny this. They also have an uneasy calm to them.
While he is on duty he wears the traditional Shinigami uniform with some major changes. First off he leaves it opened down to where his belly button would be if he wasn't also wearing a white shirt with a black collar and line running down the front. He also wears a orange beaded necklace which sits tightly along his collar bone. The left sleeve(from his point of view) has been cut off at the elbow and showing that the white shirt is long sleeved, the part that is cut is also tied down by a black ribbon so it doesn't free flow.
He also wears a sort of odd skirt over the uniform which is shorter than the length of the hakama. the skirt has three buttons that hold it in place. One side of the skirt is red with two white stripes while the other is solid white. Aside from that he wears a pair of boots, finding them much more useful and stylish in combat. The boots are a brownish-gray color besides the soul which is a solid black in color.
Off duty he prefers to wear the stereotypical female attire. He loves it and doesn't care what other people may think. He will wear female kimonos during special occasions or events and generally tight fitting clothing or skirts while having fun in his gigai in the human world.
Personality
Hana is an easy going person, pretty much up for anything as long as its fun. His work ethic is lacking in some regard as he won't go out of his way to find work to do but, instead stick with the jobs he is tasked. In this regard some might say he lacks motivation, which in a sense is true but, its more he lacks motivation in things he doesn't enjoy.
Hana is pansexual. Not caring about ones gender, or whatever they identify as and will even respect their wishes to use the right pronouns as such. He also likes to flirt with most people he meets. The only times he won't shoot someone a wink or a line that can be taken multiple ways, is if they have expressed a dislike of it. He is all for fun but not at the loss of fun for someone else. He will also address those he is familiar with as "Hun" or "Honey" as a way to express affection.
Hana is also a cross-dresser, which hes proud of. This is not to be confused with him wanting to be female, as he identifies as a male. This is simply something he enjoys doing and may sometimes utilize misunderstandings to have a little fun with someone. But I digress. He likes and prefers to wear female clothing as he finds it better in his opinion. While cross-dressing he doesn't stuff to provide the illusion of breasts, as he prefers a more flat look.
He naturally seems to talk with a higher pitch than you would expect from most males. His voice also seems the either have a sing songy tone to it or a flirtatious one. Hardly ever serious unless the situation calls for it. Overall, he is a very accepting and confident person.
History
Hana was born in a 15th district of the Rukongai. Born to a relatively well off and accepting family, Hana was free to express himself as he wished. Only really having problems from other people who knew about his situation. Over all, most other kids would just ask questions and be very accepting. However, there were the few that would try and bully Hana. At one point it would get to him but, he persevered and tried to outsmart them with wit or satire.
As he grew older though people started to get more and more judgmental, and in some instances even getting hostile. He was not particularly fond of the latter but, he tried his best to dodge the confrontations but for those that he couldn't, he would simply outmaneuver them with seemingly faster speed and skill. Oddly enough unlike his family or others he had met, Hana seemed to get much more hungry and more often than others. No one could really explain why this was.
It wouldn't be until later in his life that he would find out what caused this. Though the situation was rather funny as Hana had been wearing female attire at the time. Which, lead to a funny situation with the Shinigami, who would tell him about the reasons he felt hungry all the time, mistook him for a female. Granted, it probably didn't help things that he played along with it to have a little fun with the Shinigami. Not that his joking around was appreciated by him.
Still, Hana got his laugh out of it at least. After saying a few heartfelt goodbyes to his family, as he was excited to explore this new path that life had laid out for him. He would make his way to the training and testing to try and join the Shinigami academy. It was hard, but it wasn't anything that he couldn't handle. Though it did take him a few tries to get in. On the day that the Shinigami in training received his acceptance he couldn't help but shed a few tears. His hard work had finally paid off.
Walking into the academy for the first time was a magical experience for Hana. Seeing all the new sights and the new Shinigami in training. There was just something about it. He had a grand smile on his face, the fact he looked feminine did cause a few people to pick on him here and there but, over all, he enjoyed his experience there allot. Making friends was a little hard at first, given the fact for his particular taste in female clothing while being male. However, with his rather harmless personality and the occasional practical jokes he eventually was able to break down the social walls.
Though of course there was the people who would never accept him but, Hana didn't really care about those people. He was confident in who he was and knew who he was, and that was alright with him. There was a few subjects that Hana seemed to excel at the most in the academy, and of course the ones that he rather forget. Particularly he picked up Shunpo and hand to hand rather easily. He struggled only a bit with Kido but, eventually picked it up. Swordsmanship however was the bane of his existence. He didn't know why, it just didn't really click with him.
After 7 years of the academy, he finally graduated. Not really with honors but, he passed at least. He was ready and willing to get out there into the Shinigami work force. A few years into his new job he would achieve his Shikai. This was an interesting event to say the least. It started out with him hearing a voice he had never quite heard before but... it seemed oddly familiar still. This went on and off for a few months before any real discernible words could be made out. "Chii..." But as quickly as it came it left, just like before.
It would be a few more weeks before anything really ground breaking would happen. This time however it was in the form of a day dream. He was transported into a area of wide open skies and a series of trees and mountains, with birds fluttering and chirping for all to hear. There were streams and flowers dotted around the beautifully sunlit place. The vibe was very welcoming and seemed almost like home to Hana.
He was greeted by a rather beautiful winged woman. He would have assumed her to be an angel if her wings hadn't been black. But, Hana was not one to judge. How would he know? She would go on to tell him that she was indeed his zanpakuto spirit and felt like he was now ready to learn her name. Possibly more excited than he had ever been before since starting on this journey into the Shinigami world, he was all too eager to learn her name and about the spirit herself.
"Chiisana Suzume. Utter that with the release command 'Fly' and you shall see my true form," She said happily. She was rather eager to spread her wings and soar... figuratively speaking of course. Finally, Hana would be able to use his Shikai, the excitement absolutely welled up inside him. After exchanging of greetings and even some knowledge of one another, soon the day dream would end. It was suddenly the evening but, Hana had to just test it out before even any thought of bed came to him.
He drew his zanpakuto while holding it out in front of him, the tip pointing forward. He tossed it into the air before calling out. "Fly, Chiisana Suzume!" Suddenly his right arm seemed to have a wing made up of eight blades. This was totally awesome! He couldn't wait to learn more about his zanpakuto and work with her in the future. Things were certainly looking more up than ever.
He would go to his barracks for the night however. Though as he was really excited, he found it rather hard to sleep that night. Hana was just excited to continue on his journey of becoming a great Shinigami. Not really one for work however, he would at least get the jobs he was assigned done. Paperwork was fleeting but, field ops were definitely exciting.

Zanpakutō Spirit
--------------------
Name: Chiisana Suzume
Gender: Female
Spirit Appearance
Chiisana appears as a young woman with black hair and equally black wings. She wears a short white robe and She wears a pair of high heels that have a strap that goes up her leg. Her face is that of someone who is carefree and free as the wind.
She is kinda tall standing at 5 foot 8 inches. She has amber colored eyes and a always smiling face.
Personality
Chiisana is a happy and carefree spirit. She likes to fly around her world and look at the fluttering birds that are in it. She loves to sing, or at least hum a familiar tune or maybe something new.
She actually likes when her powers are used as she feels like she is released from the cage of her own world into that of the outside world. This is not to be confused as her seeing her world as a cage, more its like going to visit some place new.
Relationship to Master
Chiisana's relationship to Hana is allot like a dotting older sister is to her younger brother. She likes to keep him safe and tries to keep him from getting into trouble. She will even exchange back and fourths with him from time to time. Just little arguments you would expect siblings to have. She is even accepting of his want to be a cross dresser. She just warns him that someday someone might not be so forgiving about being misled.
Inner World
The inner world is a area with wide open skies and a series of trees and mountains, with birds fluttering and chirping for all to hear. There are streams and flowers dotted around the area. Overall there is a very happy, warm, and calm feeling when Hana is there. Feeling almost as light as a feather is another sense he likes about the place.

Zanpakutō Shikai
--------------------
Call Out Phrase: Fly
Translation - N/A
Shikai Appearance
Chiisana appears as eight, 23 inch(60 centimeter) long blades that seem to go down Hana's arm like a wing, not attached but sort of floating a 1/2 inch away from it. When he moves his arm the blades follow along acting almost like a wing in a sense. The blades themselves do not have handles, and even if they did Hana wouldn't be able to grab them anyway as the blades follow his arm's movements and are quite static where they are. The blades are also blue in color with white cutting edges. In short, the eight blades form a wing, and guide to his arm as such.
Shikai Abilities
Free as the wind
- Description of Attack - Hana is able to fire the blades at his target, he has no control of these blades, they simply fly straight forward. The speed of the blades is moderate, flying slow enough that they can be dodged by Shunpo or Sonido, but generally fast enough that it is harder by more normal means. The damage they inflict is also moderate as it is like simply being hit by a zanpakuto. The blades do come back to him but it takes some time, they can also inflict damage on the way back, to an unwary target.
- Type - Ranged Melee
- Range - The blades fly about 10 feet before returning back to his arm.
- Limitation - Firing the blades takes some reiastu to do and as such for each blade he fires it uses about 5% of his total reiastu pool. Which means he can only fire them a total of 20 times before passing out. Also if he does fire all of them it will leave him wide open until they return which if they hit the target or fly past them, can take about 5 seconds total to do so. As for tiers the damage of each blade is that of a zanpakuto strike and as such does less damage to those his tier and higher and more damage to those below his tier.
Two tiers below it does about 125% more damage, one tier below it does about 100% damage. Same tier it does about 80% damage. A tier above it does about 40% damage and two tiers it will only do about 20% damage.Name of Ability

Sample Post
--------------------
"Alright let's get this party started!" Hana said with a smile on his face as we walked into the bar. It was a great night out tonight and he was ready for some fun. He was wearing the most perfect dress for the situation. He wore a white button up blouse with a black mini skirt. Along with this was a black little vest that also buttoned up in the front. Then finally there was the heels, an absolute must.
He felt pretty tonight and perhaps even a little frisky. He wore some eyeliner and some red lipstick. He sat on a stool at the bar after observing there was nothing on it. Didn't want to ruin the outfit too early in the night he mused. Hana gave a look around, checking out all the faces. Some were familiar while others seemed new. He had frequented this bar in the world of the living a few times.
With that the bartender made his way to him. "What can I get you tonight?" He asked, clearly all business. No fun, Hana thought. He thought for a moment before coming to his decision. "I'll have a Long Island Ice Tea," He smiled. The bartender simply nodded and said. "Coming right up." Hana took another look around, and was pleased to see someone giving him the eye.
He simply smiled and gave a little wink. Perhaps tonight would be even more fun than he had thought? Within a few moments he had his drink. "Thank you very much.~" He purred. He was feeling very flirty today, and gave another wink to the bartender as well. The bartender shrugged it off, he was already used to Hana's flirting, and was well aware he was a guy by now.
Hana took a sip and was happy with it as always. Was sweet and you couldn't taste the alcohol. Granted tasting the alcohol wouldn't have really mattered but, it was a bonus. He then thought on what he wanted to do, maybe someone would be willing to have a little chat with him in this old bar? The idea made him excited.
