Izanami is a proud person, and she has an avid hate of hollows. Arrancars and Vizards are just confusing, and her feelings are mixed towards them.Regarding her friends highly, she gets into trouble when standing up for them in arguments, being outspoken. Izanami hates that shinigami hate Quincy’s and that people under estimate her, both because of her size and her sex.Appearance:
Able to control her emotions at times, Izanami loses hold of them only in extreme situations. Knowing she needs to stay relatively calm to be able to fight properly, she occasionally meditates to relieve herself of stress. Izanami loves music, and carries an mp3 player around with her at all times, listening to music when she can. (Favourites include techno,trance, hardcore rave and others.)
Izanami treats people kindly enough, and doesn’t insult them, especially if she doesn’t know them very well. She sees people, who do evil/mean things as disgusting and intervenes whenever she can, often causing more trouble than necessary but giving her a sense of satisfaction that she is trying to stop it.
When Izanami fights, she is very calm, and does not let her emotions get the better of her. She fights for the pride of her dying race, her father and to prove to people that Quincy’s are not to be under estimated.
Appearance:Quincy Abilities:

Her hair is black, and is tapered to her forehead, and hangs over her eyes unevenly. Here skin is pale, and her eyes are a light blue.
Izanami’s bow is an intricate looking bow, that is a dull gold colour. it has a shield like covering over the grip, protecting her hand.Skill Level: Marksmanship: Advanced
Izanami can control fire to a degree, and uses a fire arrow, it explodes on impact, covering a small area of about 12-24 inches from the point of impact. This weakens her defence and drains her stamina by a small amount.
Izanami can also fire a charge fire arrow, which on impact causes a large explosion with a 15-metre radius. After using this, is leaves Izanami exhausted and drains her stamina significantly.
The ability to detonate arrows, and detonating them at her chosen time. These cannot blow people up from the inside once hit. Has a limited radius of explosion but is fairly powerful. The power is effected by the strength of the opponent and by the amount of power charged into the arrow.
Ransōtengai— this is a high level technique that allows the user to control their body parts using strings of spirit energy controlled by their brain, forming lines or strings out of countless spiritrons. By using this technique, the user can control their body as one would a puppet, allowing them to move freely despite paralysis, broken limbs, or any other force that would impede normal movement.
Hirenkyaku
Analogous to the Shinigami flash steps or the Arrancar sonido the Quincy Hirenkyaku allows the user to move quickly over short distances. To perform the technique, the user gathers spiritual particles under their feet and rides them to the desired location. Like the air-walking skill displayed by most Arrancar and Shinigami, it can also be used to hover or fly for long distances.
Sanrei Glove (The sanrei glove is a powerful Quincy artifact that can increase a Quincy's power exponentially, but requires a dangerous and exhausting type of resistance training (wearing it for a week while constantly firing spiritual arrows) to master. When removed, however, the glove will release the user's energy all at once - first transforming them into a being of tremendous strength, the Quincy Final Form, and then forcing their Quincy powers to gutter out completely.
Reiryoku Absorption: Unlike Shinigami, who use their inner Reiryoku to fight, the Quincy fuel their abilities by absorbing the Reiryoku of their surroundings in the form of spirit particles. They primarily absorb them from the atmosphere, and have an easier time collecting this energy in environments with higher concentrations of spiritual particles, such as Soul Society or Hueco Mundo. To a sufficiently powerful Quincy, there is no difference between spiritual particles and spiritual energy as a source of power. This allows Izanami to become more powerful and more efficient in her techniques.
Reiryoku Manipulation: one can manipulate spiritual energy for offensive purposes. They most commonly re-shapes spiritual particles into various types of bow and arrows, but can also concentrate spiritual energy into the form of swords or explosives.
Quincy cross— Standard equipment for any Quincy, the Quincy Cross acts as the focus for a Quincy bow. Izanami's Quincy cross has 6 points.
Seele Schneider—The Seele Schneider is a thin sword that can be fired similarly to an arrow. It's much longer than a standard arrow and functions something like a chainsaw: the spirit particles of its blade vibrate at ultra-high frequencies, loosening the molecular bonds between any spirit matter it cuts so that the Quincy user may easily absorb the freed spirit particles.Izanami carries 6 of these with her at all times.
Quantity: So far, Izanami can fire up to 1000 arrows with out stopping, with the arrows being smaller than normal, but keeping the same power as normal arrows.
Path Control: To control the path of the arrow, curving it to follow the enemy.
Negation of Attacks: The ability to negate arrows on another attack on impact. To do this she charges the arrows with sufficient amounts of power and fires them to strike an oncoming projectile. This effectively stops the projectile from reaching her, by detonating it.
Licht Regen: Able to focus her limit of 1000 arrows at one target.A large amount of reiryoku is gathered at Izanami's shoulder, and fires 1000 arrows at one target.
Izanami also has expert athleticism, and a great amount of intellect, even thought it doesnt show at times. This helps her last against tough enemies, and think on her feet.

History/Background:
Izanami was born in Karakura town, were she lived with her mother only. Her father had died, un-knowing to her fighting as a Quincy in the Quincy-Shinigami war. As she grew older, she constantly asked her mother to tell her what happened to her father, curious as to how he had died. Her mother told her a lie to try and stop her from bugging her about it, but Izanami suspected something was amiss whenever she thought about it. When Izanami turned 17, her mother finally relented and told her the truth about her father.RP Sample:
Amazed at what her father was, she promised to follow him and become a Quincy. Knowing that Izanami might do this, her mother hid her father’s belongings in an attempt to stop her from following her father. Angry when she realized what her mother had done, Izanami searched her house for the things., and as she searched, she found a book. Reading it, she learned that to wear the Sinrei glove she needed to go through an intense training. The book also told of a organization called the Blue Sun Corp, who were a group of Quincy’s protecting earth from Hollows, as well as other things not specified by her father.
Even more eager to find the glove, she finally found them hidden in the attic of her house, at the bottom of a box. As she found them, her mother caught her as Izanami came out of the attic. Angry with her for searching for her father’s things, her mother tried to take the glove of Izanami, but Izanami yanks it out of her mother’s hands, running out of the house and into the town. Knowing the consequences, Izanami spent a week in a secluded forest training.
After the required week, Izanami is exhausted by satisfied that she is on her way to becoming a powerful Quincy. As she finished her training, someone called out to her. “ You seem to handle that power very well…” The person was a man in a strange uniform that was white with blue patterns on it. Her was also wearing the same glove as Izanami.
Telling Izanami about an organization called The Blue Sun Corporation, suggesting she looks into joining it, he leaves Izanami to think about it. Realising that she had heard of this organization before, she tries to find out as much as she can about it, and what exactly it does.
Packing her bag up, Izanami zipped it up and threw it onto her shoulder. As she did so, a voice rang out “I see you’re a Quincy” stopping Izanami in her tracks as she searched for the owner of the voice.
Stepping out of the forest, a man presented himself to Izanami. He was about 6 ft tall, wearing odd white clothing with a blue pattern on it. “I’m sorry I didn’t introduce myself earlier, you looked a little busy. I am a member of the Blue Sun Corp, who-“ Cut off in mid sentence, Izanami said “ I’ve heard of your group, aren’t you all Quincy’s?”
Pausing, the man continued. “Yes, we’re are an organization set up to protect humans from hollows while the shinigami aren’t around, amongst other things.”
Confused, Izanami asked him “ Does this mean your asking me to join?” Frowning slightly, the man said quickly “No. But it doesn’t mean that you can’t apply to join. I for one believe that you should apply, seeing as we are a dwindling race. As stupid as it sounds, we don’t ask you to join” Leaving the address of the Blue Sun Headquarters, bid Izanami a farewell and left.
Reading the slip of paper, Izanami pocketed it, shifted the bag’s weight on her back and continued on her way. Upon reaching her house, her mother came running out of it, and threw her arms around Izanami, confusing her. “ Izanami, where have you been? I was worried sick, and you could have called at sometime just to tell me you were ok!” Her mother exclaimed, muffled by the hug.
Sighing, Izanami apologized “Sorry, I couldn’t exactly call you at anytime. I just couldn’t find any time to call you. I’m sorry.”
“You’ve been doing that Quincy thing haven’t you. Izanami…” Her mother sighed, letting go of her. Getting annoyed that her mother was still trying to persuade her to stop what she was doing, Izanami avoided her mother’s eyes and walked inside.
The next day, Izanami decided to look into joining the Blue Sun. Looking at the slip of paper, Izanami packed a bag full of essentials, like food and water as well as street directory to find the Headquarters. Setting out, Izanami managed to find the headquarters in an hour. Stopping out the front, she checked the address to be sure this was the right place.
