Age: 242 (Actual Age) | 21 (Appearance Age)
Gender: Female
Race: French
Birthplace: France
Occupation: Shin'ō Academy Student
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 138 Lbs.
Appearance: Kana has long, orange-brownish chestnut hair and hazel eyes, which vary from an amber-yellow color and an amber-gray tone. Depending on the lighting her hair can appear as a soft brown color. Kana can often be found wearing either the Shin'ō Academy's outfit or several variations of kimonos with gradient colors and follows adorn on it.
Personality: Kana's personality is ironic for being a resident of a justice-seeking society, Kana was born to be somewhat light-hearted and bubbly (Although not often does she show this part of herself,) despite her dark and heavy past. Her kind words, her generous actions, and all-around trying to do good for anyone she has any affection for. Also since she's a very-well informed woman from all the books, databases, intellectual recordings, and the first-hand experience she's had the pleasure of enduring. In exchange, she can be somewhat of a walking encyclopedia at times. However, it's rare for anyone to see this kind and bubbly side of Kana, for most people she tends to act more serious and cold-hearted, due to her memory loss; hopefully recovering herself will bring out these attributes more.
Kana can be ambitious, romantic, and a bit stubborn about any life matters. She possesses great devotion to all work, such as tasks or favors asked. She has unquestionable courage when it comes down to risk it all for her friends, or anyone she cares for in that matter. She enjoys being highly active and taking risks, she, however, doesn't enjoy failing or losing. Nor does she enjoy working with coward-like people but however she will tolerate them to the best of her ability. Kana can be a very athletic and competitive person; at times she will compete with her peers to either hone or show off her skills to sort of exert her superiority and to show off that the work she had put in is paying off.
Kana is full of determination and passion one of the more goal-driven people inhabiting this world as well as one of the more intelligent ones. Her intelligence isn’t just bounded as book-smart, she has a sort of natural knack at being a somewhat battlefield tactician. She will always try to find the most beneficial solution to any situation. Kana doesn't know it but she has a natural knack for being a leader and a visionary. A dreamer is what she is, but not just a hopeless dreamer a dream chaser, one to conquer any dreams she sets out for.
Kana's loyalty makes her the most trustworthy person, she will die keeping someones secret if it's of that importance. She can be enthusiastic when surrounded by the right people which also boosts her self-confidence. However, she has quite a bit of self-doubt, but this is a trait she tries not to show; she sees a lack of confidence as weak. Often she tends to judge someone's choices in certain situations like a way they went about an issue with another living-being or how they fought, but her opinions are kept to herself, for the most part. This is her more negative side she tends to hide from the world.
However don't mistake this girl's sympathy or kind nature, she can be ruthless when need be. Quick to carry out a mission's requirements making sure to follow through with her orders. Also, don't worry if murder is required, she can carry it out emotionless and as well as a clean kill. A force not to be reckoned with.
Due to her past and coming to who she is now, this hyper-intelligent woman, with an insane amount of courage often finds herself fighting her insecurities. Due to living in the human world and fighting hollows with her memory loss, she had developed a sense of cold-heartedness even though she fights to remain true to herself the woman her friends fell in love with she found it hard to channel her. Maybe it's because she never really got attached to anyone while she was in the world of the living. She always found it difficult to make a connection with another person or express herself to another person. Initiating heartfelt conversations is not her strong suit. It's as if her emotions weren't on fully, as if she locked her ability to truly care for anyone to protect herself.
Finally and most of all Kana can be unpredictable when it comes to her emotions. One minute she could be perfectly fine, but then quickly introverted and refusing to communicate, depending on if she was triggered or not. An important note is, even her kindness and generosity has its limits. If she has her eyes set on something she will do anything and everything to achieve it and throw everyone else's emotions or opinions in the trash if she believes it will get her closer to the goal.
Special Characteristics: Her speed, and her muscle memory of welding her Zanpakutō makes her a dangerous Shin'ō Student.
Stats: Attack: 25
Speed: 50
Defense: 25
Sealed Zanpakto: A small golden ornament hangs off of her Zanpakutō in the shape of a small cloud. The braid of the Zanpakutō was a nice
lilac color and the ray skin, (the designs/diamonds) were a soft cotton-candy
blue color. The buttcap/bottom, spacer, and the blade's collar were a sleek black color. Which was sealed tight in the black sheath she carried and just a few inches above the guard she had a soft
pink-colored silk material tied into a ribbon.
History: Kana's actual journey didn't start when she was brutally killed in her life and reborn a soul that eventually attended Shin'ō Academy. Nor did it start when she had graduated from the Academy in a little under a year. She chose to join Squad 10, and even then the true start to this hellish journey didn't begin. What sparked the start was one specific order from her Captain who at the time trusted her capabilities for this mission alone.
"Kana, I need you to go to the world of the living, and remove the recent spiked activity in Hollows, they're becoming seriously violent and could ruin the balance of things." It was that order that set her down the road of pain and struggle. As Kana had arrived onto the scene she quickly disposed of the Hollows, however, while doing so, she had been severely injured by a surprise attack from someone in white clothing and a hole above their chest.
"Time to fade away . . . keheh." The voice smirked.
She didn't even sense the voice's presence, and from what she could see it was a huge man and his spiritual pressure was weighing her body down- that was until he had smashed her head with some sort of club-weapon, maybe it was his Zanpakutō's true form, she had no clue at the time as everything was happening so fast but yet so slowly; as she felt her body shutting down.
When she awoke she was stripped of her memory, everything but her Zanpakutō. She had even forgotten her name, but with several decades of fighting countless amounts of Hollows, she had only regained the memory of her name,
"Kana Rasui." It wasn't till nearly a century and almost four decades later till she was found. Which then the Soul Reaper had assisted her back to the Seireitei, where she had decided it was best she re-enroll in the Shin'ō Academy, hoping to spark her memory, all she had was the muscle memory in her sword-fighting skills and her name. This was the true start of Kana's journey.
Role Playing Sample: Elcia had begun her relaxation in her a nearby stream, this part of the world seemed unaffected by the harsh winter like the other islands. Maybe that was due to it being on a completely different side of the sea? The mountain divided it from the snowstorms. She was naked as the day she was born as she washed in the nearby river. She laid flat on her back in the bed of water as she began to float down the stream, staring at the sky. This was nice if only every day could be as relaxing as this one; however, she signed herself up for this job when she made a pact to protect the innocent and the weak. Elcia stood straight in the water as she poured some of her vanilla-scented shampoo into her palm, it was in a small bottle that she carried around with her. Scrubbing it into her hair along with some strawberry scented conditioner, her hair would begin to radiate a Strawberry-Vanilla scent. Her body wash was no different, it was called "Sweet Pink Vanilla," it smelt like a hint of Vanilla with Roses. As she finished washing up, she would begin to air-dry the area was secluded not much around her besides a hillside with a nothing but shacks Even then no one from these poorly constructed structures, could see her unless they focused on her silhouette; however, they would only be able to see the back-side of her naked form. Once she was done air-drying she had finished putting on her brand-new attire.
Which was a black yukata with red flowers decorating it and finally the icing on top of this cute attire, a lavender-white ribbon tied around her waist tightly. Once fully dressed and ready for the rest of her night she made her way to the main part of Baltigo its metropolis city.
Baltigo the place she was at currently was most popular for its high-technology vibes, thanks to the Revolutionists no doubt. As well it's booming business and crowd has brought some unwanted visitors who seemed to be here to stay as well. Black Market Dealers, Slavers, Thieves, and Mafias. Disgusting pigs, those were the real monsters of the sea; not the pirates. She wasn't a well-known pirate for the time being sure she had traveled by some of the meanest dogs of the sea- they rescued her and she worked among them but she never partook in anything that gave the woman a true name. It'd be a surprise if someone recognized her as a pirate, especially in her outfit for the night.
As she made her way down one of the streets she noticed guards chasing someone. Due to her natural curiosity, the woman followed in hot pursuit. She laid low as she watched the commotion watching the man defeat the guards with ease. She started to follow this mysterious man as he made his way into a sewer system. Interest... so he robs people and then uses the sewers as a getaway.
Elcia knew of these sewers systems, they linked the Ninth District to it's rejected brother district, Nil. She followed him into the sewers undetected, holding her rifle close in case he did pose a threat. When she stalked him to the end of the sewer she confronted him.
"Hey!" Elcia yelled, glaring at him. "You know your actions are punishable if caught." Smirking the woman chuckled, "Bad boys don't get away you know that right?"
Elcia then looked at him seriously, "Kay no more jokes... so why are you robbing the officials of this island? Your lucky I wasn't some serious assassin that worked for the kingpin."
The woman informed him on his luck- if she was sent here by the kingpin she had plenty of moments to pierce a bullet through his skull, but that wasn't in her nature- she knew the man had a good heart.
