Appearance
Ayane has a lean body, that hides all her physical strength beneath her fair skin, with a pair of breasts that's pretty much of average size. She is rather tall comparing to the average Japanese woman, being 5'7" tall. As most women, doesn't Ayane want to talk about her weight, but she weigh approximately 125 lbs. Most of it being muscles.
The hair crowning her head is black in color, with purple high-lighting and is kept in a rather stylish fashion, with most of it ear-length. Her eyes has the same color as her hair's high-lighting; purple and they wear a rather serious reflection. In her right ear has she a silver earring of Celtic origin. Also, each nail on her fingers are painted black.
Ayane's outfit doesn't differ very much from any shinigami's. She wears wears a pair of black elbow-long fingerless gloves and the standard sash is replaced with a brown leather belt with a silver brace, which lies diagonally over her waist. On the lower part of the belt is a squarish pouch in the same color attached. Otherwise, everything is as usual.
Her Asauchi is carried on her back, with a brown leather belt keeping the black scabbard at place.
Personality
Most people mistake Ayane for being a very serious person, however she is leaning more towards the opposite. She is the joker in the deck so to speak, who simply loves to mess around with people and play pranks on them. Although, it usually never goes so far so that they start to dislike her. Of course it depends on the individual she mess with. She is also pretty carefree, meaning that she rather sleep in the warm sun all day and take life as it comes, than think of the dangers of the future.
But, Ayane has her serious moments were only a joke or two manage to get to the surface. This is usually while in combat against hollows or similar creatures. She detests them with all her heart and with all the right to do so. However, even if she goes serious in combat hasn't her playful mind disappeared, though it involves quite a lot more blood and broken bones when she goes into bloodlust and sadist mode.
History
Ayane was born during the Edo period, 6 years before the founder, Date Masmune, of her hometown deceased. The city was still new and hadn't managed to become as great yet as it is today, however it didn't stop her and her family to live on. Considering that they part of the middle caste, didn't they need to work their heels off as the poor people had to do. But, even so had they to work off their part of the tax paying and working.
Well working and working, the father of her family didn't exactly have a normal profession. He was the master of a dojo who broke the laws a bit by teaching the kind of martial arts that origin from China, Kenpo. And Ayane had never been the girly type of girl who liked dolls, fine clothing and so on, typical girl-things during the Edo period. No she may have looked like a girl, with her raven hair and beautiful features, but judging by her personality would most people take her for a boy and it took some time before most people started to see her as one as well. She played around with the boys of her age, fighting with wooden swords and brawling. That girl was always in such a good mood, maybe a bit too good. The people in her neighborhood often caught her trying to play a prank on them or steal something and she got punished a lot.
But that didn't change her attitude the slightest, they would need to do more than just beat her to change her playful personality. And the days when she were forbidden to step outside the family compound, well then she spent pretty much all her free time practicing martial arts in the Dojo, under command of her incredibly strict father and seniors. Not that a 10 year old girl were a match for full grown men and the only reason that a girl was allowed to train martial arts were cause people had stopped watching her as one, with exception from her mother.
The mother and master of the household was someone that followed traditions, and her daughter wasn't an exception from that. Every time she got her hands on Ayane scolded she her for being so wild and boyish, telling her that she started to grow old enough for "bride-training". Under strict watch of her mother did they spend tons of hours trying to make the wild girl more feminine. However, the only thing that actually stuck to the lively girl was that she now cared about what it was she was wearing.
A few years of scolding and punishment later, happened the incident that touched a part of the now rather attractive girl's mind. It was a plain old evening like many others when Ayane and her family sat and ate their dinner, just as all the light in the house went out. The only thought that was given to it was that it had probably been the wind that blew out the tiny fires, so Mother simply walked around the house again to light them. After that, she went back to finish her dinner with her family.
Then all of a sudden, in the middle of a rice bite, the whole table and their face faces were covered in blood. Also, the head of Mother was gone, as if someone had bit off neck and all.
From the very moment that the blood covered the little girl's face, the hatred and fear for whatever it was that had killed her mother boiled up and a burst of reiatsu eroded from Ayane. No need to tell that from that moment, she was able to see the huge monstrous creature that was bending over the corpse of the decapitated woman, chewing on her head with a cracking sound every time it sank its teeth into it. Of course screamed the girl for her hearts content, nothing weird about that since she was young and inexperienced in bloody scenes after all.
Her father was next in the line, though it involved guts and intestines instead of a disappearing head. It spilled out on the floor in front of him as the huge...thing, sliced up his stomach with its claws. What that thing really was didn't she learn until years later.
The girl ran, running away from the bloody massacre and the death of her parents. Little did she know in her panic, the danger of running along the street in the evening. Ayane turned her head to look back and the next second she bumped into someone. It was a man clad in black, with a katana in his hands. During that age that was nothing surprising, it strolled many and many more rounins and samurais around the country.
He looked down at the crying girl and then disappeared into thin air. Well actually, he simply used shunpo to go and take care of the pest that had invaded his district of duty. But that didn't a scared little girl understand at the time.
Curious as she was wondered she were this man had went and she had only one thing in mind; back home.
Even if she was still scared, went she back to her house and she arrived just in time to see the black dressed man thrust is weapon deep into the face of the creature. But then another thing happened that she wasn't prepared for. Ayane hadn't noticed it at first, but the mans he called father was still alive, at the brink of death. The katana wielding man, lowered his blade towards the throat of the dying man and severed it from his shoulders.
Ayane screamed again, but this time in fear of her own life. The samurai whipped of the blood of his sword and then turned around, facing the terrified girl. That's when it went black for Ayane. When she opened her eyes again stood the man over her with a sad expression on her face. He said something, but Ayane was way to terrified to hear what he was saying. Then she looked down and herself lying there all lifeless on the floor. Had she died? had that man killed her? No, there was now wounds on the body. Maybe she had died from the fear of getting cut down by the man who had killed that thing, yes that was probably the case. And it was this chain hanging from her chest, she grabbed it and tried to pull it off. However, the man placed his hand over her and shook his head.
He grabbed his sword again and Ayane was thought that he should slice her up next, but he didn't. Instead, he poked her forehead with the pommel and everything went white this time.
This she barely remember now, when she open her eyes and find herself in a new, pretty rundown, town. This was Rukongai - District 66 to be more exact. There were all kind of people there, young and old, men and women. A hand found it's place on her shoulder and she jumped in fear. It was the man from before, the man who had finished off her father and slain that monster. That much did she remember. He welcomed her to Rukongai, the spirit world. Now he explained everything for her; who he was, what he was, where she was and so on.
He was a shinigami, a death god, a grim reaper, a death reaper. In her life had even Ayane heard about these, but they had been way more intimidating in the Elders stories, no even close to look like a plain human with black clothes.
She lived on in Rukongai #66 for a bunch of years, living together with an old man. What was weird though, was that she was pretty much always hungry while the old man barely ever ate something. this was also explained to her a few years later when she met this shinigami again. Though this time he took her with him to the Shinigami Academy.
It didn't take very long for Ayane to finish her studies at the Academy. Though under her stay there did she acquire knowledge and whatnot about the creature that had slain her whole family and her grudge against them only grew stronger and stronger as time past.
She got assigned to one of the Gotei 13 when she left the Academy Gates, division 13 under the command of Shogure Daiguren Kasuke. A handsome and respectable man. Here in 13th Division fought Ayane the pest called Hollows under his command, keeping her place as a Shinigami that's doomed to serve mankind.
And during her whole time as a spirit hasn't she stopped her training in Kenpo, training at least a few hours a day to keep up her skills. But how she ended up here in Seireitei and why all her hatred towards the Hollows still existed is but data from her past, which she has forgotten.
Combat
Strengths
Optimist - She has always been like this, seeing everything from the bright side.
Charismatic - Even if she mess a lot with people, has she this aura that makes them not to dislike her. Well maybe an ill thought of two might reach the surface.
Weaknesses
Sadist - Due to her past, has Ayane developed a side that's extremely sadistic and playful, the latter in a bad way.
Kidō Output - Ayane has always focused on physical training, so she has never grasped how much of reiatsu is actually needed to perform kidō. Usually she puts too much power behind it and waste her energy.
