【General Informaion】

【Rank:】 Lieutenant
【Former Division:】 1st Division 
【Former Rank:】 Unseated

【Name:】 Shizu Amaya, 静 雨夜
【Codename:】 Rain, 雨
【Alias:】 Sleeping Storm
【Nicknames:】 Shizi, Sleepy head.

【Age:】370
【Age Appearance:】23 (young adult)
【Date of Birth:】October, 9th
【Gender:】 Female

【Eye Color:】 Blue
【Hair Color:】 Light Blue
【Height:】 5'3"
【Weight:】 127
【Style:】 Relaxed Traditional
【Clothing:】Shizue often wears her division 11 armband over a grey-blue kimono with a purple obi and hair ribbon that match her sword when going about normal missions and tasks.
However, she wears a shortened and sleeveless Shihakushō underneath at all times as preparation for official events and missions that would benefit from a less colorful outfit.

【Personality:】 When first introducing herself, Shizu often comes off as a quite calm and relaxed person who doesn't mind making idle conversation over the little things. And when her daily naps come to light, some might be quick to to think her lazy or a slacker, as she often enjoys spending her time by chatting, eating sweets, or napping. But those that get to know or work with her soon realize that it's quite the opposite and that she's a hardworking, diligent shingami that takes an honorable pride in her skills. And this core attatude is shown in full force when she fights, unapologetically bringing her best regardless of rank and afilliation.

Never one to make assumptions about her opponent Shizu fights with a cautious and disorienting style, using her first dozen swings and clashes to "test the waters" and size up her opponent's current capabilities against her own, taking note of any blind spots or weaknesses she can use to her advantage. After she's finished, she'll choose to either end the fight quickly with her sword in its sealed state if possible, or she'll fight with her shikai and take her opponent seriously. But she has no problem supportively pointing out any strengths and weaknesses after it's over, regardless of who won. Though not quite that tactful when saying something she thinks you should hear, Shizu means well by her frank attatude since one can't grow without facing their faults.

This frankness also applies to herself however, and when combined with her diligence it often comes back to bite her, as she'll sometimes push herself to go without her daytime sleep in an effort to get more done. Unfortunately though, most don't realize that she is in fact metaturnal, meaning that she spends equal amounts of time being awake both by night and by day, making her naps an essential part of her sleeping schedule. Because of this, she can cause concern for those that care about her since she'll try to keep up appearances while doing so until she collapses or falls sick if left unchecked.

【Skills and Capabilities】

【General Aptitude】

【Fighting Style:】

Never one to make assumptions about her opponent Shizu fights with a cautious and disorienting style, using her first dozen swings and clashes to "test the waters" and size up her opponent's current capabilities against her own, taking note of any blind spots or weaknesses she can use to her advantage. After she's finished, she'll choose to either end the fight quickly with her sword in its sealed state if possible, or she'll fight with her shikai and take her opponent seriously.

Shizu's fighting style revolves around a near constant use of Hohō and Zanjutsu to out maneuver and outwit her opponents, with Kido often used to support and enhance it further. 

In battle, Shizu hates making assumptions and will instead use her first few strikes to try and size up her opponent without putting herself in an unfavorable position.

Striking from blind spots, setting traps, and getting her opponents to make misjudgments are tools she has no problem using, but rarely if ever will she fight dirty.

When up against someone, Shizu often tests the waters before gauging her opponent's level of skill so that she

Death by a thousand cuts.

Her fighting style focuses on:
Shizu prefers to out maneuver and outlast her opponents when she battles, choosing an emphasis on whichever strategy will be effective. Should she choose to focus on out maneuvering her opponents, she'll aim to strike more often and use her skills to throw off her opponent's rhythm. If she chooses to focus on outlasting her opponents, she'll aim to make them waste energy and tire themselves out.

- out lasting and wearing down her opponent
- incorporating Hohō into her strikes
- and using Kido to distract or inhibit her opponent

>Can they use their strength to overpower an opponent?
>If not, do they have the stamina to wear an opponent down?
>Do they have a lot of Spiritual Presence?
>Do they have control over their Spiritual Presence?
>Do they use kido, hakuda, or zanjutsu more often. If more than one, how do they do so.
>Are they hit and run? 
>Do they use their mind, or their instincts?
>Do they use their environment?
>Are they very aware of their surroundings?
>Do they rely on their skills, or their zanpakuto more often than not?
>Are they physically resilient, how much so?
>Are they fast?
>Etc...

【Masteries and Proficiencies】

【Kido Expert】

Shizu was curious and excited about kido when she first started learning it, and her initial enthusiasm rewarded her as she quickly got a handle on it. However, her enthusiasm died down a bit when she relized how little practical use there was for it in direct combat. Though she's redirected most of her efforts elsewhere, she never stopped thinking of ways to use it in battle through distractions, traps, or defense.

【Hakuda Practitioner】

To say that Shizu is a practitioner in Hakuda is to be a bit off base. She can hold a stance and throw a punch without problem, but she's just too stiff and awkward about it to find any use for it in battle. Maybe with time and experience she will improve.

【Hohō Master】

Though Shizu's skill in Hohō can't compare to that of a captain's, it's definitely is in a class of it's own among the lieutenants when it comes to stamina. Because unlike most when it comes to practicing Hohō, she does her best to incorporate it into her daily life, using any moment of movement as a chance to refine her techniques. It's from this diligent practice that she has gained a master's level of skill and stamina, allowing her to freely use it in battle like a natural change of pace. Though she may not count as the fastest, there are few who can outlast her.

【Zanjutsu Expert】

Shizu's Zanjutsu is nowadays starting to branch of in a bit of it's own direction through her efforts to mix it with her persistent use of Hohō, but tried and true she still practices her original training to keep her foundation strong and sharp since she relies on it in battle.

【Equipment and Specialization】

【Equipment】

【Name:】 Air pillow
【What is it?:】 It's a pillow that can be inflated or deflated for use in sleeping no matter where the user is. When supplied with a bit of reiryoku for a few seconds it will either release the air inside of it to deflate, or draw in air to inflate if already decompressed.
【Appearance Description:】 A pale light blue plastic looking pillow with a bit of soft trim wrapping around the edges that's capable of supporting one's head comfortably. When deflated, it keeps most of it's features while laying flat upon a surface, making it easy to fold up and put away.

【Zanpakutō】

【General Information】

【Arashi no Shijima / The Silence of Storms】

~"Most disasters are silent before they strike."~

【Sealed State:】

【Additional Information:】A simple katana of normal length and size with a purple sheath and haze wrapped hilt standing out as its only notible outward features.

【Inner World:】

【Description:】 Shizu's inner world consists of a series of floating islands scattered about quiet and dark storm clouds, drifting peacefully. Sometimes the islands will drift through one of the clouds, bringing about fog and coating the plant life growing on them with dew. Within this land of floating earth and clouds is a small bundle of islands connected with rope bridges, and it's here where one can find Arashi's abode, a simple shrine like house built on the largest of the bunch. Oddly enough, one might notice that despite the heavy cloud coverage above and below that it's as bright as an overcast day, making it easy to see without the cloud fog. This paradoxically serene inner world will turn dangerous should Shizu's emotions be thrown into turmoil, with the sleeping clouds within awaking into a writhing tempest.

【Personality:】 Though as equally calm and collected as Shizu, Arashi's demeanor is much more formal and mature in comparison to her wielder's outwardly relaxed attitude, of which she sometimes chides Shizu on when in a bad mood.

【Shikai】

~"Sora o ōi, Arashi no Shijima / Cover the sky, The Silence of Storms."~

空を覆い、嵐の静寂

When calling upon her shikai, Shizu grabs her sword's sheath from her waist and horizontally sheathes the blade. Holding it by the hilt with one hand, she calls upon her Zanpakutō and its sheath dissappears under her free hand as it glides along its length to reveal a black ronin ninja sword that retains its purple haze wrapped hilt.

【Ability:】 When called upon, Arashi no Shijima's sheath dissappears and the sword becomes a short black ronin ninja sword that retains its purple haze wrapped hilt. At first glance it might just look like a simple melee-type shikai due to how little it changes with no obvious effect, but in reality it's a slow building elemental-type shikai that incorporates Shizu into its release. 

When striking or when struck by something, both Arashi no Shijima and its sheath are capable of drawing a specific type of electric charge into themselves. For reference, the sword draws a negative charge and its sheath draws a positive charge. When this is done an opposing charge is left in whatever it struck or was struck by, though both can also passively draw a charge from whatever they're touching at a much slower rate. When enough of a charge is built up, it will have a pronounced magnetic field and Shizu will be able to discharge it from Arashi's blade or sheath in a variety of ways.

Unknown to most though, Shizu has put herself through difficult training to absorb the sheath into her own body and gain it's effects, which is why it disappears. Her reason for doing this is twofold. The first reason is so that the passive charge of her sheath stacks with that of her sword without making it useless in a fight. The second is due to the magnetic fields that are created from the charges. If she clashes with her opponent's sword, it gains a positive charge while her's gains a negative one. But with her body having a positive charge itself, this makes it harder for her opponent to hit her as time goes by.

【Sakasa Sora Denka (逆さ 空 電荷 - Reverse Sky Charge)】 For a few moments, Shizu is able to reverse the polarity of either her blade's charge or her own, if not both. The charge(s) will revert to normal if the she attempts to discharge it.

【Kaminari Sora Denka (雷 空 電荷 - Thunder Sky Charge)】
For a time, Shizu can amplify the magnetic effects of a stored charge by letting it loosely run along the surface of it's container. As a consequence though, the charge is slowly used up as it crackles and makes sound. This can be used both offensively and defensively.

【Sora Denka Kidō (空 電荷 鬼道 - Sky Charge Demon Way)】
Though it's not complete, Shizu is capable of imbuing her Kidō with either her sword's or her own charge. This gives the Kidō weak homing abilities alongside the potential to minorly shock its target. As an incomplete move however its downsides can be a potential detriment since the Kidō will have a higher chance of failing the stronger it is, and these chances also increase if she tries to empower the charge stored within it.

A discharge will deal damage and dissapate when it collides with anything, be it the intended target or not.

【Sora Hōden (空 放電 - Sky Discharge)】 
When enough of a charge is built up, Shizu can fire it off as a discharge of pure electricity that will shock whatever it hits, which is often her opponent's blade due to it being attracted to an opposing charge. If the discharge has more energy then the opposing charge, it will also attempt to shock the nearest neutral charge that's touching the ground.

【Rei Sora Hōden (霊 空 放電 - Spirit Sky Discharge)】 
Shizu can also fire of a discharge with some of her own Reiryoku, reducing its shock damage in return for more physical damage. It will attempt to go towards anything with an opposing charge, but due to not being made of pure electricity its ability to chase down an opposing charge is diminished and that makes it easier to avoid.

【Kaminari Sora Hōden (雷 空 放電 - Thunder Sky Discharge)】
Shizu can amplify the magnetic effects of a discharge. As a consequence though, the discharge will make more sound and its power will be diminished the longer it stays airborne.

【Yūrei Sora Hōden (幽霊 空 放電 - Ghost Sky Discharge)】 When swinging her sword or moving her body Shizu can leave a phantom discharge of electricity that quietly hangs in the air until someone or something runs into it. When that happens, it discharges as a burst of pure electricity that shocks the nearest object touching the ground. If triggered with something that's of the same charge polarity though, the resulting discharge will attempt to avoid it and will deal reduced damage as a result.
