Name of Character? Kiki Shiramaru
 * Race of Character? Shinigami
 * What is their level of skill and power? A skilled fighter in all four forms of Shinigami Combat Arts, Shiramaru is a combatant that can easily handle an elongated fight against elite fighters or mass mobs of monsters. Her Hoho is one that her predecessor has often commented at being quite skilled, only mastering it to a level few of her peers can boast proudly of possessing; both in rapid deployment and distance carried with each step. Zanjutsu is a level that is put only second on her areas of skill, but nonetheless carries pride in her ability to use her sword to best the strongest of foes, often using it to complement her speciality.  As is custom of those being in the 8th Division, Shiramaru's power lies in the art of Kid ō. Bringing an excellence in arts of binding, destruction, defense and transportation, it is a skill that transcends many masters in the past. Boasting a power and swiftness in each spell she releases, it is hard to see an end in the arsenal of spells she has in her possession. Hakuda being the lowest on her repertoire, she often performs such maneuvers only to incapacitate or redirect enemy blows instead of using it for offensive purposes. With a considerable high Reiryoku that's increased over the years of strenuous training and studious discipline, Shiramaru has become quite the Shinigami in her years as a officer of the Gotei 13.
 * How would you describe their fighting style? Using her Zanpakut ō as the conduit for her Kid ō, some may often confuse her Zanpakut ō's released ability for that of the power her Kid ō performs. Whether if its from a distance or up close, she performs what many have called "Sword Spells" in where her sword's gestures helped cast a more accurate or lethal spell. Harmonizing with the Reiryoku of her own Zanpakut ō she can even bolster the spell's power even higher than if she fired it with her hands, showing a sign of innovative spirit and cunning. It is how she fights, and she'd rather not fight any other way if she can help it.
 * Why do you believe they would be allowed to have this spot? Shiramaru is a cunning warrior and a well schooled leader at her post. Having achieved Bankai, she's displayed a versatility and prestige few in her Division have been able to contend with. Her calm and composed posture always in tune with her ability to command and react in the most heated of situations make her one truly a dependable officer able to take the rank of Captain for the 8th Division.
 * How did they acquire this position? In the midst of the war, her abilities had been displayed and noticed by her peers, even that of the current Captain Commander's. During the aftermath that laid waste to many comrades, Shiramaru was selected as a candidate for the replacement of the 8th Division's vacant post. After displaying her powers, her intelligence, and her level of skill in front of those remaining within the Captains' seats, she was given the honorary title of Captain of the 8th Division. Since then, she vows to continue supporting the Gotei 13 and ensure the discipline and effectiveness her Division will possess would be second to none.
