Name: Yua Honoka
Age: 550 (mid-twenties)
Gender: Female
Race: Shinigami
Height: 5ft 2in
Eyes: Crystal Blue
Hair: Snow White (short and layered reaching to her chin)
Position: Captain of Squad Four 四
Personality: Yua is quite a warm and friendly person underneath her icy appearance. Most would be surprised that she is not a snow queen but a white rose. The people she works with often feel a calming aura about her as she is all about helping others and making an effort to have a peaceful atmosphere. On the other hand if anyone disrupts that peace, other squad members learn quickly that her wrath is swift and harsh. Seeing the injured become strong and whole again is her greatest joy and she is good at doing her job. She cares for the other captains and lieutenants deeply and holds them in high regard.
When it comes to combat she is highly opposed of it because it goes against her values. Yua often tries to convince her enemies that violence isn’t the answer. If that doesn’t work then she has no choice but to defend herself and her friends. Usually she begins high power kido to keep her distance. She hates to draw her sword but if the fight becomes close, her cold blade will flash.
History: She arrived in the Soul Society as an infant in the arms of her mother after going through Konso. She was born in the Human World country of Japan during the 15th century. She was delivered very premature and her tiny body survived only a couple of days. Both of her parents were heartbroken as they buried her in their family grave. That night, in a drunken rage her father strangled her mother in the wild belief that she was the reason for their daughter’s death. This wasn’t the first or the last time he’s killed someone because of his temper.
Her mother’s soul found Yua's and this time the tears shed were of happiness to be reunited with her only child. She took the baby and ran away from their home. The shinigami in charge of the area found them and he sent them to one of the many districts in the Rukon where they began their new life. They lived near a farming community and growing up as a child Yua saw her mom working hard in the fields to support the two of them, she often would go with her to bring water and help carry the picked crop in baskets. When she stayed at their little house she would do chores so that when mom came home she would have less to worry about and get some rest.
Many years later Yua took the entrance exam for the Shino Academy. After passing and taking classes she realized her talent for Kido and surprisingly Zanjutsu. During her studies she met classmates Mikazuki and Neshura, soon becoming best friends. They would hang out a lot during and between practices which lead to one of their favorite pastimes of drinking tea together. She'd always happily welcome Kakura to the group when he would come with his sister. After graduating Yua was quickly snatch up by Squad 4, as Mikazuki and Neshura went to 2 and 8. She served as a nurse under Captain Unohana until her death and was later promoted to become the next Head of the Relief Squad.
She has very close friendships with Mikazuki Kurotsuki (Captain of Squad 2), Neshura (former captain of Squad 8) and also close friends with Kakura Kurotsuki (Captain of Squad 13), Teiko Seishin (Captain of Squad 10) and Quidel Erlantz (Captain of Squad 7). Ezretha Isishio (Captain of Squad 11) he has been very kind to her and her squad, she can't thank him enough:) She is eager to get to know the other captains more!
Likes:
- Hanging out with her friends: It’s natural and she always enjoys it.
- Healing others: No explanation needed :)
- Tea: She'll have a cup or two (if there are no interruptions!)
- Practicing Yoga mediation: (Her mom introduced her.)
- Reading (before the fires consumed the barracks, she had a book shelf full of poetry in her living quarters)
- When it rains
Dislikes:
- Negative behavior
- Not being taken seriously
Fears:
- Secretly thinks that Neshura’s fate was her fault
Zanpakuto: Dark claw (Kurai tsume)
Release Command: “Take them to their graves!” (Karera no haka ni sorera o toru!)
Bankai Name: Fatal madness, dark claw (Chimei-tekina kyōki, kurai tsume)
Inner World: Her inner world is a still landscape with a forest of tall gray and bare trees in the distance under a moon that tries to peeks out from the night clouds. In the shadows of the branches the ominous croaking of countless crows calls for Yua to come walk into the maze like woods. When she does step under the dead boughs the air is colder and she feels their invisible eyes following her every movement. At the center of the forest there is a massive old and gnarled hanging tree where her zanpakuto prefers to meet face to face. On a lower limb a long chain is tied to it and in the noose theres a form in the likeness of her latest victim. It swings in the ghostly wind and the shadows pick and scratch at it for fun.
Spirit: Kurai Tsume likes to stay just out of sight most of the time but when he feels like ‘greeting his master’ he takes the form of a tall, gangly man with long straggly hair dressed in dark clothes that are ripped and dirty with what appear to be either mud or old blood. He never is seen without a vicious grin or a chilling obsidian glare. When speaking to Yua his voice is deep and rough, sounding as if there is something caught in his throat. Inky black feathers protrude from his shoulders down to his elbows and from the waist to his knees. His skin is ashen and the veins are easily seen underneath. Decomposing tissues are scattered in areas around his face and torso and hands. His fingers are long and skeletal with the ebony nails sharpened and curved like cruel talons.
