((Update! So I didn't manage to get it up before I left but I do have a description now. I still need a name but I've got a couple of ideas...I think. Sorry it's not done. I'll work on it later once I ge some nourishment.))

Name: Hana Kaicho
Age: 17 years old
Appearance:

Maiha's Appearance:


Occupation: Lieutenant of Squad 10
Specialty: Long-Medium Ranged Attacks, Tag-Team Battle Tactics, Sensory Perception
Element: Beast/Wind/Lightning
Bio: Hana was the nature type for the longest time. She still doesn't always handle social situations like she should because she really doesn't get her own species. She's also a bit of a prude. Always closest to plants and animals, Hana spent most of her time wandering in the forests around where she lived. It was in these forests she loved to sit and read and where she first met Maiha.

Hana didn't realize it at first but Maiha was already dead. The two, however, became fast friends to the point that Hana no longer went to the forest to read but to see Maiha. As she began to feel safe knowing Maiha, Hana's social life developed a bit. One day, Hana was waiting for Maiha to meet her when a wildcat suddenly appeared and attacked her. Maiha soon showed and scared off the cat but Hana had already lost too much blood and she died with Maiha laying beside her.

Hana never got along with humans because her parents were killed in front of her when she was young. In addition, she suffered from Sensory Integration Dysfunction (Yes, it's real. Look it up.) which caused her much grief, especially when she was in large crowds. That is why she always retreated to the forest to read or explore.

She has massive reiatsu which is best kept in check when she is around Maiha since the wolf makes Hana feel safe and happy.

Hana still enjoys reading and also likes to cook. Her favorites are sweet food, salty food and especially foods that are both.

She is also trying to improve her hand-to-hand combat skills. Never know when they'll come in handy! ^^;

A side note: Since there are really no wolves in Japan, Maiha was originally from Russia but she got lost when she died and some how ended up in Japan. XP Wish there was a better way to explain it!

Zanpakuto's Name: Okamihime (Wolf Princess)
Zanpakuto Appearance:


Shikai Release Command: "Bare your fangs, Okamihime!"
Shikai General Information: Once Okamihime is released into it's shikai form Hana and her pet, Maiha take on several special physical traits. Hana gains dog-like claws, fangs (her fangs & claws are as durable/sharp as if not more than steel), ears, and a tail also while her senses of sight, smell, and hearing are exponentially heightened (this can be good and bad for her at any given moment); Hana's natural agility, reflexes and intuition are also heightened to a superhuman degree. Maiha becomes more humanly unlike her partner; her physical appearance practically makes Maiha look like she is Hana's twin sister. The only difference between the two is that Maiha is more adapt to her canine abilities and features. Both Hana and Maiha are equipped with a copy of Okamihime's shikai release weapon form and they can both use any of Okamihime's provided shikai abilities as they please. This allows for effective strategics and combination attacks/tactics.
Shikai Appearance:


Shikai/Special Ability 1: Tsume (Claw)
+ I imbue one (or both) of my daggers or a ligament of my body with lightning or wind to be able to attack with either/both of the following effects for a set amount of time (3-5 posts).
~Lightning - Brutally electrocutes whatever the imbued item/area comes in contact with.
~Wind - Reduces resistance of movements to increase speed of maneuvers of the imbued item/area. I can release a blast/sharpened wave of air in the direction I attack.
Shikai/Special Ability 2: Hoeru (Howl)
+ I can let off a mighty, heartfelt howl that releases a tremendous blast of electrified wind in the direction I howled. This attack is so powerful and physically draining that I must wait 5 posts between uses.
Shikai/Special Ability 3: Kiba (Fang)
+ I push off of the ground in any direction and spin my body so fast that a miniature tornado surrounds my body and trails after me a bit. The winds of the surround vortex serve for both defense and offense by cutting anything that comes in contact with the air around me to shreds.
***Maiha can accomplish these attacks also but the elemental charge is not a strong as Maiha's affinity is not as natural as Hana's.

Bankai Release Command: ""
Bankai General Information: When bankai is released Maiha undergoes changes yet again. She takes on a wolf form once more but she is large and appears to be made of a yellow electrical current. Clouds constantly in motion appear around her paws signifying that she has the speed of the wind. Her new size is similar to the pups in Princess Mononoke. Hana's appearance stays the same as it was in the shikai mode.

During her transformation, dark storm clouds engulf the sky above the battlefield. Hana obtains a new weapon as well. Okamihime takes the shape of a long spear through which Hana can channel her powers of lightning and wind (Bankai ability 1) as well as call down lightning from the storm clouds and summon the winds at her behest. It is also useful for attacking enemies while on Maiha's back.

A downside is that Maiha doesn't have a very high affinity with the elements Hana does. She has learned a bit of a resistance to damage by the elements and can channel them moderately well but the bankai transformation is great enough that it hurts her while they use it. Should it be perfected at some point, this would cease to occur. Since Maiha is constantly taking damage in relatively small amounts, the bankai can only be held for so long.
Bankai Appearance:


Bankai/Special Ability 1:
+ I charge my spear with lightning or wind and then release it, causing it to shoot outward much like an oversized bullet.
