Amaya Tatsunaki

Amaya Tatsunaki is a Shinigami who has been assigned to the Shinigami Reserves. She is the Lieutenant under Kane Tsunao.



Appearance
Amaya is a tall, cold girl with long white hair and blue eyes. She wears a standard Shinigami uniform, consisting of a black hakama and hyori. She tends to wear her hair down. She, along with the rest of the members of the reserves, have gradually drifted towards wearing more personalized clothing, as a method of passive resistance to continuous Soul Society meddling.

Personality
Amaya is icy, both in her appearance and in her demeanor, to the general population. However, this is simply a facade under which she holds her true feelings; She is actually a warm and humerous individual, should you manage to break her shell; A difficult task, to say the least. She has been described as "A pocket of warmth in the midst of darkness." by Kinu Mitasuki.

Over time, she has befriended the other members of the Reserves, including Kane Tsunao, Nashiyo Yamagishi, and Ronin.

Abilities
Flash Step Practicioner- Amaya has shown profficieny with the Flash Step, enough to keep up with at least a 4th seat officer and sub-menos hollows.

Kido Practicioner- Amaya has been shown to be capable of higher level kido spells, including high level healing kido, allowing her to heal small wounds in minutes, and more advanced wounds over a period of hours or days, depending on the level of the injury.

Swordsmanship Specialist- Amaya is capable of fighting powerful opponants, up to a fourth seat officer, without losing her cool demeanor. In addition to this, her Zanpakuto's power would allow her to fight on even ground with those of much greater spiritual power than her. Despite this, her combat skills are limited by her pacifistic nature, and she rarely fights all-out.

High Spiritual Power- Despite being summarily promoted to her position, Amaya's spiritual power is on par with most lieutenants.

Zanpakuto
Amaya's Zanpakuto is called Sakadatsu Supai (lit. Tousled Spy). It is sealed as a katana with a slightly spiraled guard. The guard is made up of three twisted wires wrapping around eachother in a braid, and warping slightly counterclockwise. Its release command is currently unknown.

 Shikai - In Shikai, Sakadatsu thins and lengthens, becoming thin in the middle to the point of seeming as if it could be broken easily; Despite this, it is easily as strong as any other zanpakuto. Near the end of the blade, it widens slightly, giving the zanpakuto an odd visual appearance.

 Shikai Special Ability: True to its name, Sakadatsu has the ability to slip behind enemy reiatsu, allowing the blade to cut through the reiatsu armor normally employed by higher power enemies. When this ability comes into effect, her blade seemingly warps slightly counterclockwise down the blade, but if you look carefully you will notice that the effect is simply an illusion.

 Bankai - Not yet discovered.
