Gender: Female

Appearance Age: 13

Age: 15 Dead, 10 Alive

Race: Shinigami

Rank: Lieutenant

Division: 9th

History: Sunōfurēku Tatasuko, a girl known by her peers as Rēku, hasn't had a very long history, and in fact is one of, if not, the youngest lieutenant to date. Dieing at such an early age not maney had hope for the child, but she showed high promise to at least one shinigami who adopted her and sent her to the academy, which she graduated from quite quickly and achieving her shikai not long after. Making lieutenant only a year later Rēku was easily on the fast track to success and most expect her bankai to appear not long from now, some even suspect she's hiding one that she already has.

Personality: Rēku acts exactly how she looks, a child. She giggles, smiles, plays around, everything you'd expect of a normal little girl. Who could blame her? After all she is a being less than the age of thirty. She's very kind, though jokes around a lot, curious, eccentric, and nothing close to serious, becaues of course that would be nothing short of boring. Now a side of her that is never shown is her serious side. The one that finds everyone else beneath her ability pathetic. This mostly portrays to those older than her that refuse to acknowledge her ability in combat. She is smarter than she lets on, smarter than a great majority of people in existence, and whether or not she shows it, she knows it.

Notable Traits:
Agile: Is one of the most flexible in soul society, and when it comes to normal speed is quite fast, though her flash step is by no means the fastest, though don't count her out of the race just yet!

Playful: Whether it's the battlefield, a lieutenants meeting, or even talking with a captain, Rēku means no disrespect, she just likes to have fun and be overly casual and friendly with everyone. 

Prodigy: Maybe not brilliant when it comes to book smarts like some people, and you definitely don't want her being a doctor, but yet Rēku his a genius. Her thought patterns allow her to comprehend more than she should, and also allows her more skill and finesse in combat than someone far beyond her years. It's predicted she will become one of the youngest captains in history.

Zanpakuto:

Shikai

Name & Release: Ryūshi Tōzoku (Particle Thief)

"Devour and create...Ryūshi Tōzoku..."

Power: The power of Ryūshi Tōzoku is definitely an intricate one, though fairly simple, and still very complex. While the blade may shorten once released into shikai, it becomes double edged and it also glows a pink-purple hue and the blade itself changes to a light purple. The glow hides it, but the blade is also segmented in one inch intervals. This means there is a total of twenty-seven blade bits. Each of these blade bits are capable of detaching and becoming their own free flying entity that is always constantly moving. They do this by devouring anything within a milometer of the blade bit. This means that these bits don't actually cut, but rip away and take in whatever it appears to strike.

After taking in new material the blade bits then exert a new particle out of the back almost like a jet. These sparkles of purple and pink light are a new energy source exclusively created by Ryūshi Tōzoku. Since these particles are constantly being created out of whatever is brought into the blade bits and being an energy particle the blade bits act like a conduit almost. Thus the blade bits are all superheated. If one were to somehow actually physically touch the blade itself they would quickly regret it as whatever they touched it with would be severely burned and possibly even melted. The one exception to this seems to be zanpakuto themselves. The blade bits are unable to devour them and thus they are capable of deflecting them away without harm.

Some things that should be noted about this shikai is that she controls the blade bits personally, that is until the blades have taken in the blood of her victims she no longer needs Rēku to guide the blade bits. Ryūshi Tōzoku once it has tasted the blood likes to hunt on her own, and as long as Rēku doesn't need her help she will enjoy the hunt. Another fun fact is that opponents' zanpakuto abilities that are absorbed depending on what they are have a possibility to create an additional particle that Ryūshi Tōzoku is unable to create on her own.
