So Seia's the granny respected for her experience, eh?

Seia Tulia Honoria Personal Thoughts On (With Accompanying Nicknames)...
 * Shunsui Kyōraku (Seireitou): Marigold. She's known him for a very long time, since his first days at Shinō in fact. They couldn't really be called friends, but she knows enough about Shunsui to believe that his succeeding Yamamoto isn't the wrong choice, but she won't say its the right choice just yet. She doubts she'd have much trouble dealing with him, especially since she likely stands outside of his area for perversion. She's read his book, the Rose-Coloured Path and thinks its terrible, but admits (To herself if no one else) that its better than anything she's tried to write.
 * Maika Yamabe: Patches. Maika has some pretty big shoes to fill, big enough for three people at least. Someone powering through the ranks from the Unseated to Lieutenant is no small feat and Seia is impressed by her spirit, that said she is aware that the void she's trying to fill is great, if nothing else, Seia'd pass on her encouragement from time to time.
 * Kurama Shihōin: Fox. Cloak and dagger folks are the worst, Seia couldn't understand Nephthys and she has just as much trouble with Kurama, if not more so. She doesn't feel like he's any kind of immediate threat though, so long as she hasn't suddenly become his opposition at any rate.
 * Kazuo Hanazawa: Broody. Rough and tumble types always win points in Seia's book, so she likes Kazuo on a general level. She approves of his dedication to his work though thinks he needs to learn to relax a bit, preferably over some sake.
 * Teruo Akui: . The Third Division has always been filled with unusual people, so Seia's unsurprised that someone like Teruo has been given the position and she believes he'll grow into the role despite his youth. She finds his idolism of the Soul King a little weird and is sure it'll cause someone friction between him and others down the line. She's also sure that appointing his younger brother as his Lieutenant is a spectacularly bad idea.
 * Yuji Akui: Junior. She can't hate the kid, he's earnest and shares a similar ideal of protecting the people. Sure he pulls pranks, but most kids did, Seia did too when she was younger... much, much younger. She keeps an eye out for him when she can, just in case. He's got potential, but he also needs to live long enough to see it.
 * Rikuri Suigyoku: Sunshine. Although its hard to compare, Seia likes to believe she knows a bit about what Rikuri goes through, so close to the spotlight as she often is. Not personally interested in that kind of thing, she'd be more than happy to lend a friendly ear, with an open invitation to share some sake.
 * Ichimaru Fuyutama: Orator. Not one to shy away from a critic, Seia would be interested to see his infamous monologues in person, regarding both herself and others, assuming she could coax it out of him. Other than that she feels he needs to take a breath now and then, he talks just a bit too much for her tastes.
 * Alvin Ryūren: Chuckles. While Seia is generally accepting of beings regardless of their origin, this is founded on having met and come to know these people. Seia has met only one hybrid (That isn't of the Arrancar persuasion) and he nearly murdered the Soul King. As such, she's not entirely trusting of another Visored walking around, though she tries not to treat him any differently than she would otherwise. She does feel that he needs to open up more though.
 * Cynthia Kazuryū: Dainty. Seia knows there has to be a story behind the nickname Succubus given to her by her Captain, though Seia refers to her based on what she sees as a delicate sweet young lass.
 * Byakuya Kuchiki (Ash): Matches. Byakuya and Seia are near enough cut from the same cloth, while he embodies the pride and nobility of high birth, Seia is the royal family's step cousin from the boonies. She thinks he's a touch too stiff and would regularly attempt to get him out for a drink, but knowing what he's been through she refrains, just so she doesn't get the blame if he becomes a raging alcoholic. Though she'd doubt that could happen.
 * Takashi Sakuma: Ruffles. He's got a good head on his shoulders, but like Byakuya he's a bit too stiff for Seia's liking, in this case, she has no qualms about trying to get him try a hearty ale though. She holds some admiration for his skill in falconry.
 * Hein Ueda: She hasn't come up with a nickname for him yet, largely because the only thing Seia could think of that didn't seem offensive was Red, and that's just too common. She's more accepting of him among the Gotei's ranks than others might, in fact she sees a bit of the old guard in him, all things considered. She's sure he'll mellow out some when he gets his arse handed to him in just the right way.
 * Kōsetsu: Snowflake. Seia and Kōsetsu have an old friend in common as well as both being from roughly the same time, Kōsetsu was one of the earliest Shinigami to graduate from Shinō whilst Seia helped out as a teacher. They would get along well enough, she feels.
 * Kazuya Kuchiki: Broom. She holds no small amount of respect for his skills, and may be the person Seia is most interested in getting to know out of her younger peers, largely as a means of filling in the gaps of her own abilities. She believes he needs to open up some though, get out and experience what the world really has to offer. Maybe some sake to get things going... (She'd send those books of his back, one by one, with scribbles in the margins of old Phoenician stuff, maybe he'll figure out she's saying "Teach me, ya git!" in a round about way.)
 * Nisei Yagami: Hero. Seia's not too sure what to think a' this one, on one hand, she reminds her of Johnny Law, who had his own compulsions when it came to righting wrongs, on the other she comes across as acting out. Time will tell, Seia's guessing.
 * Ginkōgō Kusahara VII: Daisy. Despite her noble status, she treats others equally regardless of their status, something Seia greatly appreciates and tries to do herself, so common ground is always a good place to start.
 * Venturro Aurientis: Jeeves. Seia is used to the company of Hollows so having an Arrancar isn't much unusual for her, that he's so well-mannered and polite is a plus if a bit stodgier than she'd expect.
 * Kenpachi Zaraki (Wolfthorn): Belltree. A thoughtless killing machine is the kind of conclusion she'd expect from a title like Kenpachi, at least given how that title got started and was passed down. That Zaraki is more than this is an immediate, but welcome, surprise to Seia.
 * Glacies Fidus: Scruffles, occasionally might use his more common nickname. She's spent years in Hueco Mundo, watched a walking bipedal dinosaur serve in the Twelfth Division and Seia still swears Glacies is the strangest thing she's ever met. A talking dog wouldn't be too bad, but this one gives lectures... She's actually somewhat excited to have him as her Lieutenant, partly for less than serious reasons. But his unique nature makes him a powerful asset and she has some inherent curiosity about him, his identity and his past both. She tries to keep a biscuit tin stocked with treats for him, but the fact that its filled with the biscuits the others would offer is a bit telling.
