Unlike her family, who normally have white or black hair, hers is a bright auburn and the only trait she carries from them is the vibrant blue eyes. She can mostly be seen wearing a questionably short kimono made of the finest fabrics one could find, with her Zanpakuto on her right hip tucked neatly into her obi. Arina carries the brand of her Clan on her left wrist - burnt into her at a young age. 【[u][b]Biography:[/b][/u] WIP 【[u][b]Personality:[/b][/u] To her peers and division, Arina is a graceful, intelligent, however, sometimes brash woman. Always calm, and very rarely serious, she tends to mock and play rather than settle into work. Although she can be empathetic, she also can come off blunt, and often points it out when people are letting their emotions get the better of them. Coming from one of the great families, she was treated like a princess from the moment she was born – and despite the eradication of her clan, she still carries herself with respect, even though she has an unnecessary gift of making everything she wears look immodest. She has an incredibly flirtatious nature and has a knack for getting up close and personal with everyone, with hardly any regard for personal space. Under her playful and flirtatious façade, however, lies a skilled manipulator who uses any means necessary to achieve her goals. Her main personality attributes are a strong survival instinct and sense of self-sufficiency - with a particularly adaptive nature which allows her to easily switch alliances when she needs to. Ruthless and calculating, Arina has no problem killing to get what she wants or using others to do her own bidding. She doesn’t like getting her own hands dirty, but will when she is backed into a corner. She has a tendency to hold grudges, but is completely uncaring when it comes to people insulting her. She is highly strategic in her planning, insisting that she has many back up plans to her goals – however, she is also impatient and sometimes lets her own arrogance get the better of her. Because she has so much confidence in herself, she is often rattled when someone manages to deceive her. She is very resilient, but she borders on self-destructive at many moments. It takes much for her rage to break and she detests any emotions that could cause her to lose control. Her hollow smile is only ever traded for a scowl when she is forced to work – and her personality is like that of a switch. The ruthless and cunning girl bubbles to the surface. She is loyal to the Gotei 13, and so, when her Division is placed in danger, she will have no qualms about eliminating the danger without a single question. She is a cold soldier and will carry out most orders given without a second thought.

He knows more about the happenings in her life than any other person alive, and so it was only fair for her to learn the happenings of his life. It made them even. [s]She cares a lot for the Kenpachi but is a little too proud to admit it.[/s] If Arina happens to be missing (an often occurrence), one might find her hiding away in he Division 11 Barracks with him.[/indent] [i][b]NAME: Masumata, Hiroshimoto - Friend/Ex-Fiancee[/b][/i] [indent]Arina has taken a strange liking to Hiro over the years. She flirts with him at every chance she can get, and he could probably agree, she has caused some strange shenanigans for him over the years. Her father once tried to pair them up in an arranged marriage - but when he died she asked him if they could postpone the marriage. They spend a century or so together until she called off the engagement for the good of her Clan. Despite her relationship with Sano, Arina still cares very deeply for Hiro.[/indent] [i][b]NAME: Dai Sanji, Shizukesa - Friend[/b][/i] [indent]Arina once told Shizu that good looking people shold be friends.

She doesn't care much for fighting, it’s not like she doesn’t enjoy the exhilarating magical feeling of violence and war, she’s simply too lazy. She rather opt out of a fight or allow someone to take her place, simply so she doesn't have to get her own [s]clothes[/s] hands dirty. Trickery is her game; she’ll talk her way out of a fight before she draws her Zanpakuto. She is incredibly perceptive in and out of battle, this makes it easier to find a way to break her opponent down and talk them into losing focus. She watches for slight changes in body language and facial expressions. Even a twitch of an eyebrow, she'll notice. It also helps her to try and read her opponents attacks, helping her to avoid taking a hit. Arina's small frame allows her to be quick, stealthy and agile on her feet. She often tells people who threaten her that they would have to catch her first... and it's not an easy thing to do. She's flexible and has quick reflexes, this gives her expert experience in the field of "DODGE!". Despite her agility, however, her small frame lacks strength, when caught, she is easily overpowered and will generally give in if it means saving her own skin. Although she’ll occasionally it, Kido isn’t her style; she deems the spells impersonal and rude. Reiryoku: 3. Reiatsu: 2 Alignment: 3. Zanjutsu: 3. Offense: 2 Defense: 2 Resonance: 3. Hakuda: 3.

The most beautiful Zanpakuto to ever come into existence [s](self proclaimed)[/s], she is often reminding Arina that she can never compare to her grace and beauty. She believes herself to be above Arina and therefore likes to prove her point every now and then by not releasing into Shikai when called upon. Underneath her beauty lies a sick and callous spirit, who finds comfort in the suffering of others. Ruthless and cunning, the spirit will often whisper death in Arina's ear; it has been mentioned that this could be the reason Arina is so cold blooded when it comes to taking lives... but then again, some do wonder if Arina enjoys it as much as Meikai Kumori. [/indent] [center][i][b]Shikai[/b][/i] [img]http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee486/CaughtInTheRiddle/Weapons/user28696_pic32694_1319236686.jpg[/img][h3][color=#ffffff][sub][i]~[/i][b]"Bend and Shift... Collude without ends; through will I grant you form..."[/b][i]~[/i][/sub][/color][/h3][/center] [indent][u][b]Ability:[/b][/u] The power of Meikai Kumori is shadow-based, however, the way in which it uses the shadows is special. The ribbons that hang off the scythe and the handle are constantly creating shadows, in which Arina is then able to manipulate and warp to her will. Her Shikai, essentially allows her to change the consistency of the shadow; for instance, hardening them to be used as extensions of her blade, or making them incorporeal, allowing her to enter them and travel through them at a disquieting pace. [indent][b][u]Techniques[/u][/b][hider] [indent][i][u]Name:[/u][/i] Bōryoku-tekina Itami (Violent Pain) Once spoken, a dark circle appears below the enemy. Once the circle is fully formed, and several tendrils of shadow rise into the air before curving down toward the target, striking down as arches that pierce into the enemy from above. [i][u]Name:[/u][/i] Akuma Mori (Demon lance) Arina slashes her Scythe in an upwards motion towards the sky, flinging the tendrils of shadows upwards into the air where they morph into four lances. She then brings her scythe down and the lances detach, raining down on her enemy. She cannot control these after they have detached from her Scythe. [i][u]Name:[/u][/i] Jigoku Shōheki (Infernal Barrier) Arina stabs the blade of her Scythe into the ground, and the ribbons join together, creating a black shadow sphere that encloses her inside before it hardens. It make for a good defense, but can be shattered by enough brute force, or a Captains attack. [i][u]Name:[/u][/i] Hidoi ho (Unholy Stride) This allows her to travel through the tendrils of her shadows in a Shunpo - allowing her to slip through the cover of darkness. [i][u]Name:[/u][/i] Yami Kyōsaku (Dark Constriction) The tendrils of shadow from Arina's Scythe wrap around her opponent, binding them as they constrict like that of a snake. Arina can then harden them and use the tendrils as blade. Before she can do this however, she must have them completely bound - if she hardens the tendrils too soon, her opponent has a better chance of snapping them. [i][u]Name:[/u][/i] Kodai no dai Sanji (Ancient Catastrophe) This is probably the most draining ability Arina possesses. She wraps herself in the ribbons of her scythe and throws the blade upwards. Four balls of dark shadows rise from the ground around her. As Arina changes her pose, the balls circle around for a moment, then stop, growing larger during the process. She then encloses herself with a black sphere before the four balls release their energy. Her barrier then reflects the energy into a Kido like blast which erupts from the circumference of the sphere. Arina very rarely uses this ability as it takes a large toll on her body.[/indent][/hider][/indent][/indent][/hider][/hider]
