Misaki Yayoi

Misaki Yayoi (操祈=弥生) is a Shinigami living in Seireitei. A former member of the Royal Guard, she, along with Ayano Kisaragi, was discharged due to a certain incident. While Ayano had gotten over this, Misaki became incredibly bitter towards her old friend. Blunt, serious, and melancholic, Misaki has lost her arm from that incident, but more importantly, she seeks revenge on her former partner.

Appearance
Misaki has short, light brown hair that is parted at in the middle of her forehead. At the back of her neck, her hair spikes down and curves outwards slightly. She also has a slim forelock of hair sticking up at the top of her head. In the middle of her forehead, there is an odd, extravagant symbol. Her body is perfectly proportioned, as is described by a "drunk" Ayano as a "goddess". However, she is missing her left arm, and feels no need to gain a prosthetic replacement. She has icy blue eyes.

Powers and Abilities
Master Swordsmanship Specialist: Despite having lost an arm, Misaki's skills with her blade are top-notch. She attacks with powerful thrusts and slashes, often dragging her blade along the ground as she moves. Her swordsmanship as well as her powers rival and contrasts that of Ayano. While Ayano fights with savage, powerful blows, Misaki's style is elegant, which polarizes her own personality, driven by revenge. Gunha once stated that if Ayano and Misaki would engage in a fight, half of Soul Society would be destroyed in the process.

Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant: While shown less, Misaki is highly skilled in hand-to-hand combat. While she seems like a frail individual, she uses a soft and acrobatic fighting style, described by Misuzu as "ballet-looking". Misaki uses powerful pirouetting kicks to overwhelm her foes. Her close-quarters fighting style is modeled after traditional Japanese dances.

Zanpakutō
Ookami (鳴神 lit. "Howling God") is the name of Misaki's Zanpakutō. In its sealed state, Ookami takes the form of a 2.1 meter long white nodachi. Despite having lost an arm, Misaki's skills with the blade are still top-notch. In comparison to Ayano's dual-weaponry, Misaki attacks with a fast one-handed style with Ookami. Misaki attacks very quickly with her blade in combat, and is just as able with her Zanpakutō as Ayano is with her own.

Shikai: Ookami's Shikai is activated the phrase "Roar" (ほえる, "Hoeru"). In Shikai, Ookami becomes more fearsome and jagged in appearance, as a tiger pattern is formed upon the blade.

Trivia

 * Misaki is an Aizen-class character.
 * Misaki's birthday, March 14th, falls on the same day as White Day in Japan and Korea which is an mirror equivalent to Valentine's Day where girls respond to boys who gave them gifts on the said holiday. This reflects her relationship with Ayano as her birthday is Valentine's Day.
