Rūka Ishida

"We still have something to protect, even now. People like us always are on journeys to seek strength. Sometimes we get slightly detoured on our journey, but, we musn't stop because, that's what tears are for. So, don't worry. Weak as you might be now, if you keep walking, you'll eventually find the strength you need."

- Rūka speaking to Minato Kuramoto.

Rūka Ishida (石田ルカ, Ishida Ruuka) is a Quincy that resides in Karakura Town. She appears to have loose ties with the Vandenreich, though it is unknown if she works with them. Since her initial appearance, she has developed a serious obsessive infatuation with Seireitou Kawahiru, to the point of even stalking him.

Behind the Scenes
Her obsession with Seireitou is derived from Ayame Sarutobi, a character from the manga and anime series, Gin Tama. Ayame carries a similar obsessive affection for the title character, Sakata Gintoki.
