Bara no Utsukushi (lit. Rose Beauty) is the Zanpakuto of Akari Fujiwara. It is a Plant-type and Poison-type and it (or they) are one of the few female Zanpakuto.
Personailty and Traits[]
Both of them represent the personalities of Akari. The youngest Bara no Utsukushi, or "Utsu" as Akari nicknames to avoid confusion, is most like Akari. She is curious, mischievous, playful, and childish, but she is caring and sometimes worry in some situations. She somewhat likes yaoi too like her owner. She loves to play around with other Zanpakuto, especially "Bara". She has a crush on Senbonzakura, however this later becomes minor as Utsu gains affectionate feelings for Kazeshini. She mostly roams around the society by flying in the air and sometimes be on the lookout. She represents Akari's playful side.
The oldest Bara no Utsukushi, or "Bara" as Akari nicknames too, is mature, quiet, polite and sometimes likes to be alone. She cares for both her owner and her "sister". However, she does have a playful side. She can be defensive sometimes and knows how to defend herself. She does have affectionate feelings for Hyorinmaru and is sometimes annoyed by Utsu's comments about him and Bara. Bara can also form a harmonium from her vines when Akari needed some music to let her feelings out once. She is graceful yet dangerous in battle. She is protective of Akari and refer to her as "Lady Akari". She also represents Akari's serious side.
But both together, they are loyal to their master and will protect her at all costs. They can even since her emotions at times and Bara and Utsu can communicate telepathically by using their Tiferets on both of their chests when separated.

The oldest Bara no Utsukushi, "Bara", takes the appearance of a humanoid woman with long blonde hair hidden behind her red rose-shaped mask, which hides her eyes, however she can still see through it. She also wears a red strapless leather suit with red gloves, high heeled black boots that are flower-shaped at the top, and a green petal-shaped cape with a white inside and a crescent-shaped moon-like symbol on each petal inside. She also has yellow vines that wraps around her arms and forms an "X" on her chest. She has a tifaret jewel on her breasts, and her suit has a long arrow-shaped cut exposing her stomach.
When both are together, their secondary spirit form is a black dragon with dark red rose petals as wings.
