History/Background:
Age: 80 (Looks 14)
Gender: Female
Personality:
Shirohime follows an unusually destructive path. Seeming to follow in the footsteps of the captain known as Zaraki Kenpachi she values nothing more then the heat of battle. Finding no need to focus on insignificant things such as friendships, or bonds she focuses almost entirely on the path of the warrior. Loving nothing more then tearing into the flesh of someone else she has become known as quite reckless, and most tend to stay away from her. Even so this in no way has caused her to tone down her personality, or even stopped her from challenging every person she has a chance to.Appearance:
As if to make her personality even worse the girl is completely arrogant. Believing herself not only entitled to a high position, but also believing herself to be one of the best warriors in all of the Soul Society. This mentality, along with insane lust for the fight has lead to her current goals of aiming for nothing less then an eventual captain seat in whatever squad she joins. Not once even thinking of the difficulty it takes to succeed in such a feat.
Zanpakuto Spirit:
Despite her wild personality, and crazed love for fighting Shirohime's appearance seems to be frighteningly different then one would expect. Between her elegant white hair, soft skin, and pure smile the girl appears at first glance as anyone else her age. Her thin frame, average height, and low weight only seem to draw out the feelings even more sincerely, but all those feelings are quickly discarded upon a second look. Only once you get close enough to smell her bloodthirsty taste is it that one realizes the true demon she is. Eye's of a predator, and the scent of a devil, the once harmless girl turns into a animal to be feared. If one word could be used to describe her outer appearance, chances are deceptive would probably make the cut.
The spirit of Shirohime's Zanpakuto is Roze, named after the bloodshed flower itself. The appearance, and personality of the sword seems to fall into complete opposites with it's master. Where Shirohime is upfront, and impatient, Roze is deceptive, and collective. Being focused in on charming looks, and a deceptive assassination the sword's name serves her well. Just as the rose lures people in with its beauty, and causes harm with its pointed thorns, Roze captivates her opponent, and then draws in for the kill.Sealed Zanpakuto:
Unfortunately this contrasting personality with the wielder has led to nothing save for a dead end. The sweet perfume of flowers, and the pleasing traditional Japanese town of Shirohime's inner workings only seem to push the girl further from connecting with it. In recent times the two have grown into a bitter rivalry, arguing over how to handle any situation. Having gone so far as for the two to have develop countless nicknames for each other, and so far as to having thrown an even more innumerable amount of punches.
In its sealed form Shirohime's Zanpakuto is nothing more the a then a slightly elegant kodachi. The relatively simple blade is adorned with nothing more the a flowered pattern on it's handle, and comes without a real hilt guard. Although the appearance may seem odd at first, it perfectly fits in when one considers the saya. Being based around the idea of a shikomizue, the saya is a metal umbrella with a hollowed out poll to hide the actual blade in. The umbrella itself is decorated with painted pictures of flowers, and a warm pink background.Shikai Description:

History/Background:
Shirohime's past is just as gruesome as her awful personality. Having started in the slums, her aggressive life seemed to spurt out from it. From a young age she quickly learned the most important lesson possible. The strong survive. In such an awful area nothing, but such a fact could remain true. Limited amounts of water caused souls to compete over what there was, and as so she had to fight her way through whoever else was trying to claim what was hers. This attitude served her well up until she started to feel the signs of her potential... hunger.RP Sample:
Having unrealized spiritual powers she quickly found herself with a new found pain that wouldn't quickly vanish like a bruise, or a sore. Desperately searching for the answer the girl became more, and more aggressive, pushing herself to find the cure to this overwhelming pain. Despite still being young she did everything she could to beat her ways through the crowds, steal what wasn't hers, and move onto the next village... Still searching for an answer.
As the pain continued to build the girl found herself drained of power, and desperately looking for a way to reclaim everything that was rightfully hers, and as luck would have it she ran into the right person at the right time. Coming across a Shinigami in her ignorance she initiated attack against the warrior. The battle of course ended quickly with her on the floor, and a crowd pulling her away. Not long after she found a box that had been dropped by the man, and to her luck it was just what her body had craved.
Devouring the lunch the girl quickly found that her pain had resolved, and before long she managed to pull the situation together. Not sure of rather her powers were real or not the girl struggled to find another man in black robes. If nothing else they could help her with her problems. Tracking the carriage back she managed to catch the man right before his return to the soul society.
The encounter was short, involving her throwing the container down, and telling the shinigami to fill it with more food, all the while the shinigami becoming curious of what talents the girl may be hiding. Finally the man relented, and took the girl back to the soul society, and not long after she was accepted into the academy.
Despite her violent nature the girl was brought under some control do to the constant threats of being released back into the slums. Shirohime didn't find much interest in kido, but her skills in fighting quickly became superb, and even her focus in shunpo caught some attention. The aspiring shinigami quickly found herself graduating, and with everyone in her class keeping their distance at that. With a smile on her face, the girl sent out the two applications to squads she was interested in... One to the 11th squad for herself, and one to the 2nd squad for her Zanpakuto...
Shirohime smiled as she gripped the wooden bokuto in her hand. The distinctive smell of sweat, and wood filled the air of the training hall as she approached her opponent. It was pure silence as she had finally received a challenge from some poor boy who wanted to rob her of her title. Her white hair blew as the window whispered words of warning to the person in front of her, and the instructor took position.
"Today we are having an exhibition match between Ikari Shirohime, and Tensho Ishitari." The instructor stopped there, and turned his head to face the bloodthirsty girl in front of him. "Please keep it clean, and try not to hurt each other too badly. I'll put an end to it if things get out of control." His vision then narrowed in even further on the girl. "Am I understood?"
At his words both the students nodded their heads, but it was obvious neither of them were listening. Both of them had a fixed stare centered solely on the other. As two caged animals they were waiting on nothing more then a release before they would begin the onslaught. With a sigh the instructor gave in with a sigh.
"Alright begin!"
In a flash of light the two students burst into action, swords meeting, and just as soon waving goodbye. As if their lives depended on it the two each other again, and again only hoping to rip the other apart. Any system of points was quickly lost to the instructor as two ducked, and swerved past each other in action.
As the battle reached the climax it seemed that Shirohime had met her end when a jab from Ishitari broke through her defense. Little did the young man realize that she had intended to take the blow from the very beginning. Absorbing the stab to her chest the girl did an even more devastating blow to her opponent's neck. Smiling as time seem to stop the instructor called the match in Shirohime's favor. Once again with a bright smile she left, leaving her opponent to deal with a very sore neck.
