Megumi Harukishi

Megumi Harukishi (春岸 恵, Harukishi Megumi) is a former Shinigami, living in the Human World and the mother of Ueki Harukishi.

She was once a renown Shinigami. During a mission in the Human World, she was attacked by a Hollow, and, found uncounscious, a man took her to the hospital. She fell in love with him and her relationship threatened her life as a Shinigami. Given that Soul Society's identity was at stake, the Central 46 sentenced her to an exiled life in Karakura Town. She married and, four years later, gave birth to her son, Ueki, which was born a Fullbringer, due to her mother's attack.

One day, Megumi found a Hollow, and, as she tried to defeat him, her husband appeared to help. She screamed, saying he was too weak, but it was too late. Her husband got hit by the Hollow's horn and died. His last words were "Keep him safe.", refering to their son.

Appearance
She is a tall, slender adult woman with green hair in a ponytail and green eyes. In her daily life she is seen wearing shirts with V-necks that reveal a small part of her breasts, and skirts, with brown boots on. Being a doctor, she can, sometimes, be seen with a doctor's white coat, which otherwise she wouldn't wear.

As a Shinigami, she wore the standar Shinigami shihakusho, with the Lieutenant's badge around her hip. Her neckline was less revealing. She wore her hair in a bun, instead of a ponytail.

Personality
Megumi first showed herself as a very serious person, with her mind focused solely on her goals and job. She was a rather rude person, with no interest in others' problems, unless related to her specialty (medicine). When the Lieutenants of three Divisions asked for her help in the hospital, she continued to rush the victims and patients in the halls, almost pretending not to hear. Back then, she also didn't want to envolve herself in Shinigami business, having a grudge over her husband's death.

She later changed her attitude, being a more understanding person and not creating excuses for her personal problems. She accepted her son's powers and understood that being rude and vengeful would have no good impact in her life.
