Sora Ukitake

Sora Ukitake a Shinigami, and is the 4th Seat 11th Division, under Captain Kenpachi Zaraki. Before that she served as the 7th Seat of the 13th Division, under her eldest brother, Jushiro Ukitake, but worked to gain a promotion, due to her dislike for her brother. In terms of being a member of the Ukitake Clan, she is the youngest of the Ukitake Siblings, having one unnamed elder sister, as well as six elder brothers, including the afromentioned Jushiro. In the 11th Division, she often works alongside Ikkaku Madarame, who gave her the nickname Demon of Misty Carrnage due to her sadistic personality and intense blood lust, that even manages to impress Zaraki. During her time in the 13th Division, she often worked alongside Rukia Kuchiki, and the two never got along at all.

Appearance
Sora is 5'2 and 89 lb, with blue eyes, and beautiful, pure black hair, that stretches down to her middle back so elegantly. She almost always has rather long fingernails, which are painted purple, and wears the standard Shinigami haori when she's on missions. When she's at her family's manor, she's seen wearing a regular white T-shirt, with a blue rim circling the entire top edge around it, due to her despising to wear her family's standard kimono. Although she's never seen wearing it in present time, she has been seen wearing it in flashbacks, due to her drastic change of personality back in those days. Her skin is very pale, almost ghost-like, and she's almost always seen wearing a smile on her face, especially during battle. The only times she frowns is when she's bored of not being in battle for an extended period of time, or when the battle that she is involved in is too borring for her to want to continue with it. During her time in the 13th Division, her hair was tied back in a single ponytail, and during her childhood, her hair was cut extremely short, with one strand dangling down on each side of her cheeks, and it was partially black and partially navy blue.

Personality
Over her life, Sora has had a drastic change in personality, due to a series of tragic and unfortunate events that happened during childhood. When she was a child, Sora was a very cheerful and outgoing, and got along extremely well with her eldest brother, Jushiro Ukitake, as well as the rest of her siblings, too. Jushiro would often train her when she got old enough for training, and she loved every second of it. When she entered Shino Academy, he would even volunteer occasionally just to help her out, which she absolutely loved. However, even more so than Jushiro, she loved her elder sister to death, more so than anybody else in the world. Being the youngest of eight siblings never introduced her to sibling rivalry or sibling bullying either, which she was extatic about. However, the same couldn't be said about other people. Due to her low power level and very slow growth rate that she had at first, she was always the victim of bullying even before the acxademy, which carried on to her days in the academy as well. She would always get beat up in classes, causing her to have to be saved by Jushiro or one of her other siblings, which hurt her pride to a great deal, and eventually made her bitter and cold, although this was an extremely gradual proccess. Once she reached the nexus point of her bitterness, she hated everyone around her for the longest time, including her siblings, most notably Jushiro, for treating her like a child and never allowing her to fight her own battles and prove herself. Atlhough they were actually doing this because they cared about her and worried about her, that's not how she saw it; she saw it as them thinking that she's too weak to look out for herself, and that this would never, ever change, no matter how much training that she underwent, and fights that the participated in. Because of this, she started to seek power. Another thing that triggered Sora's drastic change in personality was the deatih of her elder sister, due to a Hollow attack that occured in the Soul Society.

When she entered the Gotei 13, under Jushiro, she only remained their for a little over a year, and quickly got promoted to the 11th Division, due to her hatred for her brother, as well as her newfound hatred for Rukia. She hated Rukia due to her loyalty to Ukitake, as well as Rukia's outgoing and cheerful nature, and her wanting to make friends with her. She couldn't stand it, and thus was overjoyed when she finally got her promotion to the 11th Division. Despite her crude personality these days, however, she does seem to have developed romantic feelings for Ikkaku Madarame, probably due to his personality being so drastically similar to her own. This is clearly evident because she blushes whenever they're touching, or are in close enough of a proximity to one another, and the first time Sora saw Ikkaku in action, was flustered, stuttering just trying to congratulate him; however, when Yachiru Kusajishi brings this up to him, as she claims it's so painfully obvious, he just writes it off completely, claiming that she's too crazy even for his tastes. Although he does say this with a rather sarcastic tone of voice, so Yachiru still thinks that he wasn't serious about it. It's unknown if he was actually serious about it or not. Despite her crush on Ikkaku, she has even higher admiration and praise for her Captain, Kenpachi Zaraki. She trains with him a lot too, albeit still not nearly as much as with Ikkaku, and has secret aspirations for one day defeating him in battle so that she can impress him greatly, and possibly being able to even succeed him as the next Kenpachi. It is for this very reason that she is almost constantly, nonstop training for Bankai so that she can do just that; however, she does lament that she is still unfortunately a long ways away from achieving Bankai state, as she hasn't yet completely mastered her Shikai state, making her long awaited final battle with Kenpachi Zaraki still in the far off distance.

Despite her masocistic and sadistic personality, if Ikkaku or Kenpachi is critically harmed when she's present--as stated above, due to her admiration for both of them and her crush on Ikkaku--the trauma does send her in a fit of uncontrolled rage, sending her Spiritual Power completely uncontrolled. When she allows her emtions to get the better of her, which are usually perfectly controlled to begin other, high ranked Shinigami have to step in to forcefully, temporarily seal up her Spiritual Power, and knock her unconcious. She will then soon after wake up in a hospital. If she tries to release her Spiritual Power to a great extent after that without waiting a few days first, then she'll experience such an intense pain that even she won't be able to sustain for long. This of coruse means that she can't fight too intensely in battle, if she even chooses to fight in battle at all, and this also means, of course, absolutely no Shikai release.

Early Life
Sora was born to the prestegous and aristocratic Ukitake family, and lived most of her young life in the Ukitake Manor, with her elder sister, and six elder brothers, most notably her eldest brother, Jushiro Ukitake. It's believed by her parents died in combat when she was very young, which is why she was raised mainly by Jushiro and her elder sister, Kanna, but occasionally by her other brothers, as well. She got a long very well with her siblings as a child, very rarely getting mad at them or arguing with them; and when she did, it usually ended with a very peaceful, easy conclusion. She was almost always seen with a smile on her face. However, as for outside of her own family, she was not so lucky, sadly. Due to her lack in ability, despite her age and clan, she was always bullied by other kids in the neighborhood, which eventaully caused her to never want to leave the Ukitake Manor, which her siblings, despite attempting to convince her otherwise for awhile, eventaully decided to allow her do as she pleased until she entered Shino Academy. The felt extremely sorry for her, and wanted to help her. Whenever she got out, and got into fights with kids, Jushiro or one of her other siblings would always come to her rescue. This in turn got them to pick on her and make fun of her even more due to her supposed inability to stick up for herself. When Sora confronted them about this, they claimed that it's all because they care deeply for her, and don't want her to get hurt or for anything to happen to her. However, she never saw it this way, even though it was explained to her. In her mind, she saw it as them purpousely holding her back, and blatantly telling her that she's incapable of sticking up for herself or getting stronger, and that she would never get any stronger, either. Even though this wasn't at all the case, these feelings of neglect and lonliness helped in her drastic change in personality later on in life, albeit it happened extremely slowly.

Shino Academy Days
When she joined Shini Academy, Sora didn't go back to her manor very often, but she still talked with Kanna and Jushiro a lot, especially since Jushi9ro often times helped out at the academy just to see her, which she was absolutely estatic about. She always trained hard, but unfortunately, was still succuming to bullies, despite her progress, which steadily and gradually caused her to go even colder, especially when Jushiro still constantly saved her, despite her asking him not to. However, the final straw with her shift in personality was during a massive Hollow attack on the Soul Society, from unknown means. It was unknown exactly how the Hollows broke into the Soul Society, but they did, and the entire Seireitei and Rukongai District were in an uproar and panic. One of the most devasted locations that were attacked was the Ukitake Manor, in which her sister was the only one currently home. Her sister, using Bankai, attempted to fight off the Hollows, and supposedly, according to an eye witness, did a very good job for a very long time, but was eventually overwhelmed by them, and was supposedly killed and eaten by them. When Sora found out about this, something in her mind completely snapped, and her drastic change in personality commensed, changing from a sweet hearted, loving girl, to a cold, cynical, masocistic, and sadistic woman with a huge bloodlust. Although she didn't reach the pinnical of this newfound personality overnight, it did gradually, and quickly build up, which drove her to train even harder yet, quickly surpassing everyone in the academy who was in her grade level, and then single handedly beat up all the bullies that ever bullied and tormented her in her life. After five years in the academy, she graduated and was finally ready to enter the Gotei 13. Prior to joining the Gotei, she did achieve Shikai as well, but to this day has yet to completely master it.

13th Division Days
When Sora finally graduated from Shino Academy, and was chosen for a Division, her eldest brother, Jushiro, chose her to be his 7th Seat in the 13th Divison. Prior to this he did notice a high level of change in her personality, and despite having a good understanding of what could have caused this, albeit perhaps not a perfect understanding of what could have caused this, he brought her into the 13th Division in the hopes that he and his other Divison members could help to change her back to her original personality. However, there was no such luck of this, unfortunately. She remained in the 13th Division for a little over a year, and during that time, she grew to utterlky despise her brother with a burning passion, whereas before she only had a mild dislike of him. This is assumed to have steamed from his constant babying of her, even when she became a Division member, and never allowing her to do anything on her own. This is also the time when she met Rukia Kuchiki, and sadly, her relationship with Rukaia was also less than favorable. She hated Rukia for many reasons--her undying loyalty to Jushiro, her cheerful and outgoing personality, but most importantly, Rukia's eagerness to become friends with her, which she couldn't stand int he slightest. It's because of this that she was extremely eager to get promoted to the 11th Division, and when she finally did, after a little over a year, she obtained the position 4th Seat, which she remained as for a very long time, being extremely proud of that position.

11th Division Days
After her pomotion to the 11th Divison, she stayed their for many years, and until the present day. She absolutely loved the 11th Division, and wouldn't trade it for anything. During her time in the 11th Division, she met Kenpachi Zaraki, who she instantly began to admire for his strength and power, and even developed secret plans to one day truly defeat him in battle, so that he'd further acknowledge her. Although he does acknowledge her ability right now, to an extent, it's not enough for her. She wants him to give great praise to her, similar to how he did for Yachiru Unohana. To this end, she has been undergoing constant, nonstop training for Bankai, albeit lamented that she is unfortunately a long ways away from actually achieving it, let alone mastering it. She always trained with Zaraki at least once or twice a week in order to further hone her skills and make herself stronger. During her days in the 11th Division, she also met Ikkaku Madarame. She didn't think much of him as for initial appearances; however after first seeing him in battle on a mission that she was also on, she instantly fell in love with him, which for years he seemed to be obvlivious to. It wasn't until Yachiru Kusajishi brings this up to him, as she claims it's so painfully obvious, he just writes it off completely, claiming that she's too crazy even for his tastes. Although he does say this with a rather sarcastic tone of voice, so Yachiru still thinks that he wasn't serious about it. It's unknown if he was actually serious about it or not. Whenever they touch or their too close to one another, (such as their faces being right next to one another, or them being back to back), and it's not in a serious, or otherwise life threatening situation, she always gets flustered and blushes, quickly backing away comically, with him just sitting or standing their, wondering what her problem is. Although she did eventually get over this next problem, she used to have trouble even speaking with him, often times stuttering or slurring her words. This was never more prevelent than when she first saw him in battle, as she stuttered for a total of five minutes, while blushing, just to congratuate him on his victory. She did, however, eventually get over this, and loves working and fighting alongside him now, being able to do so with no problems whatsoever. She also trains with Ikkaku at least 2 or three times a week, much more than she does with Kenpachi Zaraki, despite the latter being their Captain.

Powers and Abilities
Being a highly notable member of the 11th Division, Sora's powers mainly revovle around some form of melee combat, wether by the sword, or in the form of Hakuda, with those two forms of combat clearly overshadowing all other forms of her comabt, to a great extent.

High Spiritual Power
Despite being a 4th Seat, Sora has a surprisng level of Spiritual Power, albeit not nearly as much as Kenpachi Zaraki or even Ikkaku Madarame. Her initial Spiritual Power is high enough that her brother, Jushiro, comented that she is probably the strongest of the current 4th Seats in the Gotei 13, although this theory has never been truly tested. Due to a tramatic event that occured during her childhood, sorrow she suffered and hatred she began to feel fueled her drive to become stronger even further, and thus made her Spiritual Power even higher than it noramally wound have been. However, despite this, she doesn't have perfect control over it, and when she allows her emotions to get the better of her during battle, her Spiritual Power tends to run wild, without her being able to successfully sustain it on her own. When this happens, someone else has to step in to temporarily seal it away, and knock her unconcious. After she wakes up, usually in a hopsital bed, she's unable to use high amounts of her Spiritual Power agian for several days, without succuming to a pain that even her, with her masocistic and bloodthirsty personality, is unable to sustain for long. This of course means, very little fighting, if any fighting at all, and absolutely no Shikai release. She is, however, currently training to obtain not only a higher level of Spiritual Power, but also greater control over it, but claims that she does unfortunately have a long way left to go.

Zanjutsu Expert
By far, Zanjutsu is Sora's most profound ability, and it's the one that she usually tries to boast the most, which should be no surprise considering her standing in the 11th Division. She's seen using basic Zanjutsu against practitioners such as Ikkaku and Zaraki, but also possesses the ability to perform several Zanjutsu related abilities.

Hozuri ((頬摺, Cheek Stroke):  A simple but precise slash technique which lightly grazes the target, causing superficial wounds.  She's only ever seen using this technique against Hollows, as she considers it far too barbaric and chaotic to use against people like Ikkaku and Zaraki.

Ryodan (両断, Bisection):  Grasping his or her sword with both hands, the practitioner brings it down with enough force to cut an opponent in half down the middle. Sora is seen using this ability many times in every single one of her fights with Kenpachi Zaraki.

Senmaioroshi (千枚卸, Thousand-Page Wholesale):  Multiple extremely fast blade movements take place, shredding a target into pieces. Sora is alway sseen using this ability in battles against Hollows, having a very high skill level in it. She can take out lower level Hollows with just one strike using it, and severly weaken Gillion Class Hollows with it.

Kenban Zangeki (板斬撃 lit. Draw Slash):  This is an ability that she herself created, and so far, as only taught it to Ikkaku Madarame and Kenpachi Zaraki. When drawing her sword, she's unable to unleash a powerful slash with it, which has enough power to effortlessly take down regular Hollows, or defend against the Cero of a Gillion-Class Hollow.

Hakuda Expert
Sora's skills in Hakuda are seen as her second greatest abilities, as well as her second most enjoyable abilities to her personally. When using Hakuda, she's able to keep up with one of the greatest Hakuda Experts, Ikkaku Madarame, with little to no effort at all, and can effortlessly dispach wave after wave of lower level opponents, using her afromentioned Hakuda abilities.

Raioken (雷王拳, Thunder King Fist):  The practitioner performs a series of ultra-high-speed punches with both arms. When Sora uses this technique against a group of powerful Hollows that invades the Soul Society, she's able to take each of them out with only two punches, all the while causing significant damage to the ground, buildings, and trees around her.

Panchira Torunedo (パンチラトルネード, Panty-Flash Tornado):  The practitioner performs an upside-down rotating straddle split, allowing them to deliver multiple kick attacks to a nearby opponent. Sora is seen using this technique the most often, unleashing it on Ikkaku whenever they train, and using it a lot on Hollows whenever she fights them as well. She's able to use for a vastly extended period of time.

Gatoringu Jidanda (地団駄 (ガトリング), Gatling Mad-Stomping):  The practitioner performs multiple foot stomps on the target's face. This is another ability that Sora is seen always using in her training battles with Ikkaku, as well as in subsequent battles against Hollows. She also uses this all the time in training battles with Zaraki, as it gives her some leverage off the ground, which she claims is key to fighting on equal footing with her Captain.

Taigoi (滝鯉, Waterfall Carp):  The practitioner utilizes this technique to create an opening in their opponents defense. When the target kicks out, the user blocks the attack with their forearm. When the foe moves to kick them with their other foot, the practitioner grabs the blocked foot with their free hand while simultaneously blocking the second attack with their legs. The user subsequently traps the opponents second foot between their legs. With both legs trapped, the target is now open to attack and the user takes advantage of the situation to attack with their free hand. Although she claims she enjoys this ability a lot as well, she's only usually seen using it while battling Kenpachi Zaraki. This is for the same reason as Gatoringu Jidanda; that it gives her some leverage off the ground, which she claims is key to fighting on equal footing with her Captain.

Tessho (鉄掌, Iron Palm):  An open palm strike which can effortlessly shatter a Hollow's head with a single strike. Sora is only seen using this technique against Hollows, as she claims it's the easiest way for her to dispach lower level Hollows with a single blow.

Hoho Practitioner
This is seen as her second worst ability, Sora's skill in Hoho, while greater than even her Captain's, as Zaraki has yet to learn Hoho, is still nothing much to speak of or brag about, bost very slow movements in Shunpo, capable of getting her from point A to point B easiliy enough, or outrunning lower level enemies, it could never even come close to allowing her to outrun or speed blitz higher ranking enemies, or even most enemies of the same rank as her.

Speed Clones:  This is the only Shunpo ability that she's ever seen using, which is still far cry from the level of masters such as Yoruichi and SoiFon, but still sufficient for certain battles. She's able to create one clone with this technique, and only for up to ten seconds at a time, having to take several minute breaks in between each time.

Kido Practitioner
This is probably, by far, Sora's absolute worst ability, and therefore, she is hardly ever seen using it to a great extent. Whenever she uses Kido, she always has to use the name, number, and incantation, and even then she can only use low level abilities of both Hado and Bakudo, possessing no skill whatsoever in Kaido. She also possesses no skill or ability in combining incantations, combining Kido, or modifying Kido to her liking, or creating new Kido. She'll only use Kido in instantces where she has to attempt to get the drop on an enemy, being known to possess the ability to use both Hado #31:  Shakkahoas well as Hado #4:  Byakurai. She does, however, use Bakudo #61:  Rikujokorooften to restrain her enemies in battle, usually when she's outnumbered, so that she can come in for quick, easy, bloody kills, due to her masocistic personality. Rikujokoro is the highest level Kido that she's ever seen using.

Great Agility
One of Sora's most notworthy skills is how flexible she is, and how her overal agility seems to pan out. Her agility and flexibility is the soul reason, according to her, that she's able to stand up against opponents like Ikkaku Madarame and Kenpachi Zaraki, as well as take on an army of Hollows at once, single handedly, without being critically wounded herself, as it allows her to dodge attacks, and lay successful counterattacks, much easier than it would be for her to do so if she didn't have such intense agility and flexibility at her disposal.

Average Strength
From a very young age, Sora, due to her constant lack of outdoor activity and interaction with others, has made her very weak on the physical aspects of things. She was always bullied and picked on as a child, causing her to have to be saved by her brother, Jushiro, or one of her other brothers, or her sister. This caused kids to bully her even more, and call her weak, which is said to be the soul reason for her drastic change in personality later in life. She was always easily injured, and it took her longer than most people for her wounds to heal. When she finally joined Shino Academy, her hatred and training had allowed her to increase her strength substantally, and prove that she indeed wasn't a weak person like everyone thought that she was. She's seen lifting boulders or other huge pieces of debris and rubble whenever a building collapses or people are burried in the ground, and throw them long, far out distances with one arm to quickly get them out of the way.

Zanpakuto
The name of Sora's Zanpakuto is Rokotsu Kanaaji Sashi Atemi (露骨金味 · 鉄味刺し当て身 lit. Broad Bladed Piercing Strike). In it's sealed state, it comes in the form of a Japanese Odachi, with a uniquly silver hilt with silver stripes, boaring a silver, star shaped hilt guard. She keeps it sheathed in a black sheath, attached to thick rope, which she dangles around her neck at all times.

Shikai
The release command for Sora's Shikai is "Claw Out." Upon release, her Zanpakuto's blade extents in length to triple it's normal size, the normal blade disappearing, and the entire thing turning pure black, with red stripes here and there. The hilt guard greatly widens, and transforms into a large handle in the center, with two large blades that look like 8's adorning each end of the blade. At this point, the length is just slightly taller than her own body when she's standing up straight. Simply enough, the all the abilities of her Zanpakuto have to do with melee combat, and nothing more or too creative, although she does have some interesting ways of using this Melee Shikai to help set her apart from other similar completely melee Zanpakuto, such as Ikkaku Madarame.

Enhanced Spiritual Power:  Upon releasing her Shikai, Sora's Spiritual Power is enhanced quite a bit, being more on par with your standard Lieutenant who's Zanpakuto is not released, rather than your standard Fourth Seat; as noted by Ikkaku, if it wasn't for Yachiru currently being the 11th Division's Lieutenant, Sora would be the perfect canidate.

Enhanced Zanjutsu:  Using her Shikai gives Sora a major upgrade in skill and power in Zanjutsu, allowing her to easily combat with Shinigami with high level of Zanjutsu skills, most notably in the 11th Divison, such as Ikkaku Madarame, or even her own Captain, Kenpachi Zaraki. Although still being unable to defeat Zaraki when he goes to full power, as at that point he is still far greater than her by leaps and bounds, he still notes to himself that she reminds him of himself when he was around her age, and that if she keeps this up, then she may be able to attain a power even greater than his in the future. Although her Shikai doesn't allow her to defeat Zaraki, she's said to be pretty much on equal terms with Ikkaku. She's also able to turn her one blade into two, by grasping both her hands at the center, and pulling, disconnecting both halves into two. This alone allows her to far surpass Ikkaku just with her Zanjutsu skills alone, and gets her an even greater edge against Zaraki, albeit still not being able to defeat him. However, with her Zanjutsu skills alone, she is far more powerful than any other member of the 11th Division, even Yachiru Kusajishi--as Sora laments that she suspects that the only reason that Zaraki has her as lieutenant is due to their history together, and not because of her skill.

Enhanced Physical Strength:  Upon releasing her Shikai, Sora's physical strength is greatly increased, allowing her to effortlessly punch or kick brick or stone walls, and completely shatter them into bits. She even broke Ikkaku's ribcage with one single punch when in her Shikai state, which should definitely be a testament to her ability in Shikai.

Sen'ichiya Makiwara (千一夜巻藁 · 巻き藁 lit. One Thousand Strikes):  This is a technique that allows Sora to strike at her opponent, rappidly, one thousand times in two minutes, for a powerful finisher. She can do this with her regular Shikai, or split it apart. She does this often for easier manuverability. When she does this, she's able to use one half for an even greater strike, or both at once for her greatest strikes of this technique.

Tsukkendon Minagoroshi (突慳貪 · 突っ慳貪皆殺し · 鏖 lit. Blunt Massacre):  This is a technique that allows Sora to push the end of her blade at her opponent, for an extremely powerful, destructive melee attack. She can do this with her regular Shikai, or split it apart. She does this often for easier manuverability. When she does this, she's able to use one half for an even greater blunt strike, or both at once for her greatest blunt strike of this technique.

Michi Zangeki (道 · 途 · 路 · 径斬撃 lit. Distance Slash):  This is a technique that allows Sora to slash her Zanpakuto at her enemies from a distance, which is so strong that it builds up a circulation of air, and this air fires at the enemy. Although it's often times mistaken for her using air powers, it's most certainlly not. She can do wthi swith her regular Shikai, or split it apart. She does this often for easier manuverability. When she does this, she's able to use one half for an even greater distance slash, or both at once for her greatest distance slash.

Bankai
''Not Yet Achieved. ''

Although she hasen't yet achieved Bankai, she is currently training to achieve it, in the hopes that she will one day be able to use her future Bankai to defeat Kenpachi Zaraki, despite her admiration of him, so she can become the next Kenpachi. However, she does lament that she unfortunately has a long way to go before she'll actaully achieve Bankai state, let alone Bankai Mastery.

Kenpachi Zaraki
Sora's relationship with Kenpachi is depicted as her being extremely loyal to him, and admiring him greatly for his strength and power, loyally serving under him with great honor. However, despite this, she does have secret aspirations of defeating him in combat, so that she can prove herself to him completely, and even perhaps take over as the next Kenpachi, so that he will be fully proud of her. It is for this reason that she is currently training almost constantly and nonstop for Bankai, albeit still being unfortunately a long ways away from achieving it, as she laments.

Ikkaku Madarame
Sora also has a unique relationship with Ikkaku. Even though she admires Zaraki more than Ikkaku, she's always seen training with Ikkaku way more than Zaraki, revering him for his strength and being able to give her a great battle, even without using his Bankai. There are even instances when she's shown that she's developed somewhat of a crush on him, due to his personality being drastically similar to her own; however, when Yachiru Kusajishi brings this up to him, as she claims it's so painfully obvious, he just writes it off completely, claiming that she's too crazy even for his tastes. Although he does say this with a rather sarcastic tone of voice, so Yachiru still thinks that he wasn't serious about it. It's unknown if he was actually serious about it or not.

Jushiro Ukitake
Jushiro is Sora's eldest brother, whom she despises more than anyone else; however, it never used to be that way. The two of them got along very well as children, and would often train together all the time. However, due to a series of unfortunate events during her childhood--such as the constant bullying, as ell as the death of their sister, whom Sora adored--Sora had a drastic change of personality, which surprised her brother greatly. He still doesnt' completely understand what caused this, although he does have a good idea of what could have been the catalyist. When she first joined the Gotei 13, her brother chose her to be his 7th Seat, in the hopes that he could help change her persoanlity back to what it used to be, but sadly he was never able to before she got her much wanted promotion to the 11th Divison as it's 4th Seat, to get away from him and Rukia, but also the rest of the 13th Division as a whole.

Rukia Kuchiki
Although Sora's and Rukia's relationship with each other has only been glanced upon, it's well known that they despised each other. Atlhough Rukia wanted a chance to be friends with her, Sora wanted no such thing, and utterly hated Rukia. This in and of itself seems to have steamed from Rukia's loyalty and admiration for Captain Ukitake, and also her outgoing and friendly personality, which she absolutely could not stand about her.

Quotes
(To Ikkaku Madarame) "Don't be too soft on me now, just because I'm female!  This might be training, but if you don't come at me with you all, I will kill you in this fight!"

''(To Kenpachi Zaraki) "What is this?  I've never felt such a thrill in battle!  It's making me all excited, I can hardly contain myself!  Come at me more Captain, I want to fight you!  More, more, more!" ''
