here were two members of Gotei, Avan and Cosette. Both apart of the fourth division, Avan was rather short in stature with black hair, he was about 350 years old, appearing in his early 30s. While Cosette was a rather tall woman, her age was about 300 years appearing in her late 20s. The shinigami wanted a child, though they would need a lot of Reiatsu to produce a shinigami offspring. As such, they didn't attempt to conceive a child for quite some time. Though one day, a baby did come, the couple got worried, wondering if their child would be a pulse. All they could do was wait it out. Many months passed, surprisingly the child was a Shinigami! With pink hair like her mother and yellow eyes like her father.

The parents instantly fell in love with their new child. Taking a bit of leave to spend time with their daughter, but, all good things must come to an end. After about 2 months the parents had to return to their duties. Though tragedy struck the family, when Hono was 4 months old her parents were eaten by a Hollow on a mission. What was the Soul Society to do with a parentless child? The infant was soon taken to Rukongai where she would be adopted and raised by another family.

The Shinigami now had foster parents suddenly. Though thankfully they lived in the tenth district. Her father, a man named Gaius, with jet black hair with an average build was a kendo instructor in his past life. Her new mother a blonde named Milla was a singer at a cafe in her past life. Along with 2 younger siblings, Mizu her brother and Farah her sister. Hono was seen as the stern big sister, a bit clingy but well meaning.

Ever since she was a child she saw the Gotei go out on various missions. She always thought they were super cool! She wanted to join once she was older. Her parents were actually supportive of their daughter, despite what happened to her parents.

Gaius taught the various people in the 10th district the art of kendo, including his daughter. Hono enjoyed learning the skills from her father. Despite his age, Gaius still had some skills behind him. Though as the years would progress, his skills would slow down. Hono was very protective of the other children in her district, not just her brother and sister.

Not a lot happened for six years, though once Hono was 18 she returned to Seireitei to enroll in Shin'ō Academy! She did have a lot of fun surprises, despite the fact she was away from her parents and best friends. Though none the less she did find a few friends in her class, her father's kendo lessons served as a good starting point for sword training, she did pick up the unorthodox sword style of fencing. She performed quite well, though didn't break any records. Though her personality did get her on a bit of a watch list with the teachers. Her best subject had to be swordplay, she performed above most of her classmates, she was fast, using her speed to dodge and hit weak points with her thrusts. After graduating, she was now 24 years old, her eyes set on joining with the Gotei United just like she always dreamed!





○ Natural Cook: Growing up with her siblings Hono would take charge and cook them meals, this evolved into a passion, as even to this day Hono cooks, not for herself, often giving food to her friends and family.

○ Resolute: Hono is one of the most determined and stubborn people around. She will set goals that are light-years ahead of her and not care. In her mind, she WILL achieve it eventually. These goals are her driving force, be it getting stronger or becoming a better cook. However, a downside is she will set goals for small hobbies, wanting to be the best she can be in the topic. Seeing Hono yield is an almost impossibility, at least not until she is dead or unconscious. Often overhyping her abilities to appear stronger to herself, and others. Though when outmatched Hono wouldn't back down, throwing herself at the problem over, and over, and over, and over...

○ Swordfighting: Due to her father's training Hono picked up the basics of swordsmanship at a young, practicing with herself as a kid and well into her life as a member of the Gotei. Swordsmanship was the only course she overly excelled at in the Academy.






○ Zanpakutô Name: Kazagumowari [風雲裂, Cloud Splitter].

○ Zanpakutô Spirit Appearance: Kazagumowari takes the appearance of a short Amazonian woman. Standing at roughly four and a half feet. Long white unkept hair and only very simple clothes covering her body. Large red-eyes A large mechanical-like claw on her right arm. Not a spirit of many words, only speaking should she find her master's strength acceptable. Taking from her master, Kazagumowari is stubborn and trains more than her, caring about her physical physique more than her general appearance.

Spoiler:

○ Inner World: Kazagumowari's inner world takes the appearance of a vast hot desert, the sun always beaming down. Roaming the sands is Kazagumowai herself, who is unaffected by the intense heat of the sun, using these desserts as a training ground. Using the rocks, hills, and structures as a training ground. Though Kazagumowai is always drifting through the desert, the overall surroundings are always slightly different.

○ Sealed Zanpakutō Appearance:

Spoiler:

○ Shikai Release Phrase: Break Through

○ Shikai Release Action: The Shikai is released by Hono dragging her blade against the ground, the blade then begins cracking and falling apart, forming into its released state.

○ Shikai Appearance: Kazagumowari shrinks down upon release, turning into a cleaver-like weapon. A wooden handle with no guard and a blade only 7 inches long. The weapon appears in horrible condition, the blade appears rusted, with chunks missing and looking poorly maintained and jagged edges. However, the weapon still cuts the same despite how it might look.

○ Shikai Ability: A short-ranged melee-type Zanpakuto which at a glance does nothing more than trade the length of its sealed form for more power and speed, allowing Hono to better cleave things right in two. That is the superficial aspect of her Zanpakuto, Hono's Shikai has more depth than being a simple slasher.


This Zanpakuto's true ability lies in the jagged edges of the blade. These edges will leave behind tiny fragments of the weapon inside of any target it manages to cut. Upon calling out the command "rend", Hono can trigger the ability of these fragments. Immediately after the command, the fragments burn up. Anyone who has these fragments inside of them will feel their whole body burn. Feeling as if they're being attacked from both the front and the back with equal force. The two cuts attempt to meet in the middle, greatly increasing the chance of splitting the target cleanly in two, bifurcating them. The attack grows stronger the more fragments are present, increasing the chances of being sliced in half with each. It doesn't matter where these fragments are, once burned up, the target will feel the slashes directed at the center of their mass, right down the middle of their body.

○ Shikai Weaknesses:
○ Slicing Required: Hono's Zanpakuto requires that she actually get the fragments embedded in a target in order for the Shikai ability to work. If she cannot physically break through a target's defences then she loses a lot of offensive power.

○Reach: Due to her Zanpakuto being a meat cleaver, Hono loses a lot of her initial sword length, her blade only being 7 inches long.

○Simple: A simple Zanpakuto that is not incredibly encompassing, it is the single-minded will to overcome every obstacle in front of her manifested. In exchange for utility, it makes up for it with potency.

○Indiscriminate: If by a twist of fate, the fragments end up inside of an ally, she cannot activate this ability without harming them as well as her enemies.
