Hasu no Hana Nōrishin (脳裏芯 蓮の華, Lotus' Flower Mind Core) is the third highest ranking member of the noble Nōrishin clan. A Kidō expert and the founder, patron and trainer of the Kidō Corps Psychological Operations Unit.
(Regarding her naming - although it is 蓮花 "Renge" what usually stands for Lotus Flower, "Hasu no Hana" might be explained to stand for Lotus' Flower as in the genitive case.)
Appearance[]
Haso no Hana has bronze skin, and long platinum white hair that is spinned and tied usually into a bun with a hairpin, as is customary among her family. Also much like her relatives she has golden eyes, and the trademark sharp cheekbones and ears that appear slightly pointed.
Her casual attire consists of a purple or levender furisode kimono with pale violet obi and possibly other accessories of the traditional noble lady's outfit. The pattern or theme is usually following the actual seasons and holidays, but usually it is of a floral design. Her footwear is either a pair of geta or zōri. She wears a thin golden circlet with a crystal pendant on her forehead which continues around her head and sports two golden lotus pins. A larger golden lotus shaped hairpin is set on to the front of her bun giving the sense of a coronet supposed to signify social status in the Seireitei.
When she is training the Kidō Corps Psychological Operations Unit, or is on a fied operation to counter forces Soul Society, or gathering intelligence she wears standard black Kidō Corps outfit with the long white masking, except with an additional haori with a narrow pale levender obi under it.
Personality[]
As the daughter of the head of a great noble house Hasu no Hana has had to live up to strict and taxing expectations. Such as finesse in social suave, etiquette, excessively cultured schooling in liberal arts, music and house crafts, obedience, resignation and humility that was considered a standard for her class and gender. She actually met those expactation but once fulfilling them she has gradually shifted her focus on skills she had actual interest in.
Hasu no Hana is fond of many scholarly passtimes, such as reading books, studying scrolls, interpolating Reishi-salvaging data with termins and locations... and is generally taking delight in anything related to Demon Magic. She often takes time to practice Kidō and spares time for meditation just as much, utilizing it to bring her mind in control of her capabilities. She seems to prefer to stay in her house compound to study, to train or to meditate. She is considered to be even tempered, soft spoken, and often even cordial, coupled with a mature and serious demeanour. She might muster sound confidence but she is also good enough in reading people not to give much cause to their annoyance and also capable to covertly manipulate the tip of the scales in social dynamics in her favor. She is noted to rarely allows herself and of course of her suborinates to make mistakes. She dislikes her mistakes or errors to be pointed out especially if made public, but she endures such humiliation with resigned scilence, and by avoiding eye-contact if possible. She's been often observed to diplomatically warn people of what they do or did wrong, and having an effect on them where the other party eventually adopts her point of view, most often by not even realizing it. Hasu no Hana has tactful agency and one has to be naïve to put it past over her to manipulate others quite effortlessly. She - of course - takes painstaking effort to mask such actions and endeavors too by taking on the seeming of humility that is expected from a female (even of one of her social standing) often playing out situations and especially conversations and dialogs to turn in her favor by giving the sense of that the other party has managed to figure out what needs and/or has to be done, where she appears to be only the one who merely hinted at the totion. Most of the time she's onto inciting or implementing selfless endeavours rather than pushing things for her personal gain. She is even often outright frugal with herself - to the point that other people might think she hasn no real zest for life's plaeasures. I thruth Hasu no Hana can spot and find repose or joy even in simple things that most people may overlook.
Hasu no Hana tries to avoid conflicts and tends to hesitate entering one directly. She also tends to avoid combat, let alone battle altogether. However when there's no way to broker a diplomatic resolution to a situation her determination knows few bounds, and she faces an opponent or the enemy no matter how strong they are. She is confident in her powers and believes that a bright soul's most powerful weapon is the mind and that it is one's wits that renders someone able to overcome their foe in any given situation, provided that one pays close attention on the states of mind and to the surroundings, especially where there's connection or transaction between the two, which is usually always pervalent, except in meditation, when the self submerges in to its inner world.
Hasu no Hana is virtually the only member of the Nōrishin noble family possessing a tripartite surname which is a construct state in itself. Given her social status, she is usually always addressed in the formal way, so everyone uses her surname in its entirety. Her mother called her sometimes 'Hana'. After her demise, Hasu no Hana would find distasteful someone calling her only "Hana", and likely would feel disrespected as well.
Background[]
Kamon of the Nōrishin clan
Upbringing[]
Hasu no Hana says she walks Seiteitei for 32 dozen decades. She is the second child of His Grace, the Duke Nōrishin, the Patriarch of the noble Nōrishin clan, and his spouse, Yōkō Nōrishin. Being second-born does not confer the official ranking of "Princess", so rather she is formally addressed as "Marquise" (侯爵婦人 - Kōshaku fujin ), yet still she is commonly referred to and addressed as Princess (姫 - Hime) - as is customary style of a female heir (albeit only second) of a great noble house.
The Nōrishin clan's intense infuence among Kidō spellcasters and enchanters definitely left its mark on Hasu no Hana. She was raised according to the strict and demanding standards of a noble scion and also with serious discipline and cultivation of humilty that is utmost expected from a decent young noblewoman. Her aptitude with Kidō showed great promise and Hasu no Hana exceled in the art of Bakudō spells. Hadō spells, she said, were less entertaining for her. She preferred the subtlety and intricacy wowen in to a spell, and the resplendence of the mental and cognitive processes to implement, fuse, disjoin, and create them.
Arranged engagement, deranged annulement[]
Her dispensation to engage in 'public' outages was as restricted as that of any of the young noble ladies. She too was arranged to marry Akeno Ryōdoji quite early in her childhood. This fact puts her into a peculiar situation still. Public records, birth and marriage certificates of even the nobles can be accessed for the rightful reason, but however one would figure out the fact of her betrothal makes her about at least 11 centuries old, as the family of the groom was exiled from Soul Society about a thousand years ago. Thankfully for Hasu no Hana by the time when the Ryōdoji clan fell from their noble position the marraige was not concluded.
As she ranked higher in her family that her groom was ranking in his own, it was the husband-to-be who moved in with the family of the bride-to-be for a period of time prior to the eventual marriage. Following their public engagement ceremony Hasu no Hana was assingned to carry out some public functions on behalf of the clan. Such as to congratulate various children for attaining the clan's special grant for their mental and spiritual excellence proven in earlier tests. Some were sponsored to attend the Shin'ō Academy yet some were afforded special accolade and were "adopted" by the clan. Some were selected to purposfully advance as Souls. One time during an unannounced visit - already possessig the subjective right as a "permanent guest" of the Nōrishin family - when Akeno planned to pleasantly surprise Hasu no Hana he vitnessed his fiancee performing a dance with the recently adopted children in the inner garden of the Nōrishin Manor (where he actually still had no dispensation to be). He also has seen what he believed Hasu no Hana killing each of the children at a given step of the dance with a Kidō spell that dispersed them. Shocked and distraught the youth instantly got to the maid questioning her conduct. Hasu no Hana was of course surprised to see his fianceé where he had no right to be and as she did not expected a visit from him that day. She said that "It's not what it may seem like" but before she could fully explain her actions to her upset fianceé, Akeno stomed out of the garden, saying that he will warn the other houses of the happening he just witnessed. He only attempted to, though, as the Duke Nōrishin appeared right before him and put the boy into stasis with his Seishinhogo.
Of course it was only a matter of time before the Ryōdoji family turned to Nōrishin about their missing son. Akeno was apparently able to utter a quick message to his family through an instant Bakudō sepell. The Ryōdoji calaimed that "the Nōrishin are practicing Kuchiyose (口寄せ, Necromancy), and are trafficking souls back and forth from the worlds", and that "Akeno has now revealed their dealings, and for this reason they had taken care of him", and demanded justisce and due punishment. The Duke Nōrishin however said that "Akeno is merely held in stasis only to avoid a situation that would cause a grave misuderstanding". The Ryōdoji anwered that unlike the Nōrishin they have nothing to hide and threatened to put the "Demon magicians" to an end if they did not hand over the boy and confess their foul deeds to all of Soul Society and be banished. The Duke Nōrishin released Akeno form stasis - in the hopes that he will prove him right. The boy however ran away in confusion and has grabbed Hasu No Hana to run along with him. Prince Kyokko Nōrishin snstantly took after them. Some of the Ryōdoji started chase the chindren, while the rest tried to subdue the Duke Nōrishin. The misunderstanding escalated to open warfare and Ryōdoji retainers started fights with Nōrishin retainers all across the Seireitei. The chaos was only ended after the Duke paralyzed everyone and presented actual Royal Writs of Transition for the very Souls that Hasu no Hana allegedly murdered on the family grounds. It turned out that the Nōrishin clan has "Royal assent for their sanctioned pemission by the Council of Nobles and affirmantion by the Central 46 to advance pure Souls to the Reitoro". The Ryōdoji brought great shame upon themselves for their impetulence and violent ignorance and were stripped of their greater noble status to what they reacted with utter distaste with the values of Soul Society and still insisted to have revenge over the officials and clans responsible for their downfall. Ultimately they were sentenced to exile into the Dangai - where they were expected to eventially perish.
Following this scandal the planned marriage of Hasu no Hana Nōrishin and Akeno Ryōdoji was annuled, sparing the Nōrishin family from the mortification being related to a disgraced clan.
Stasis[]
Both Marquise Hasu no Hana and Prince Kyokko were subject to a contingency spell placed upon Akeno Ryōdoji by their father earlier. As they crossed the confines of the Nōrishin Manor, they were all engulfed in another stasis field. The Duke Nōrishin managed to remove both of his children from the field centered on Akeno but it took 1000 years to dispel the effect.
While entrapped the siblings did not age, not a moment, yet their consciousnesses drifted on the spiritual conduits traversing the existing worlds. Unlike her brother however Hasu no Hana had no true influence on her "astral journeys" and retained no clear memories or sense of the passing of the linear time. She rarther recalls it as if she was dreaming for quite a long expanse of moments. Either way both her and Kyokko has had reached a state of Hōsekizen (宝石禅, Jewel Meditation) to attain a profound affinity with their respective Seishinhogo (保護精神, Spirit Guardian).
After one's own tastes[]
Sweet
The millennium spent in stasis had an uncanny social side benefit for Hasu no Hana. She has 'advanced' well past - that is has falling behind - the first line of young noble ladies available for favorable marriage.
Eventually she left the confined life of a domestic noble young lady behind to take calsses at the Shin'ō Academy of which her father was a actually founding benefactor 2100 years prior, and experienced freedom she did not know in her earlier life.
Bitter
During her academic studies (in 1893 in the World of the Living ) her mother fell victim to an assault inside the Seireitei. The tragic incident was later revealed to be an encounter with the unnatural machination of Sōsuke Aizen related to his Hōgyoku and Hollowfication experiments, and that Lady Yōkō's own spiritual power vanished and she herself mysteriously ceased to be. The demise of the noble house's Lady was a great loss for the clan, the family, and for her daughter as well. The depression that did set on the young girl and more precisely the road to overcome it led eventually to her psychic abilities to increase exponentially in magnitude and effect. Her father withdrew from the public after the incident. Some hearsay held that the Duke may have visited the Soul King Palace where the flow of time itself may be unlike it is in other parts of Soul Society. The "Maquise Nōrishin" politely dismissed these claims on a number common audiences she needed to give and noble social events she was expected to attend as "wild rumors" and assured everyone of her father's good health, and of his "unwavering commitment to and endeavor for the continued aid of the greater balance of things in Soul Society".
Indeed both Kyokko and Hasu no hana had to finally become the adults that effectively run the clan's day-to-day life.
Savoury
After she concluded her studies at the Shin'ō Academy, Hasu no Hana received further training at the Kidō Corps. Her special ability connected to mind-affecting and -influecing spells saw reckognition among the Corps and eventually led to the formation of the yet still experimental Psychological Operations Unit.
Since that, Hasu no Hana devoted most of her time for the training of Kidō specialist who joined her after a recruitment in order to raise a small but psychologically advanced special operations division within the Kidō Corps. Officially only the reformed Central 46 approved the initiative. Some say, she got the permission to found her new experimental unit much to the lobby-work of her brother, Kyokko Nōrishin, who became an elected member of the Central 46, as one of the wise men. Either way the financial funding of the Kidō Corps Psychological Operations Unit is expected to fall on to the shoulders of Hasu no Hana or more likely in her stead to that of the Nōrishin clan's coffers. Actually it's hard to tell if "Hime-sama Nōrishin" raises a personal psychic-army or regulates an actual Kidō Corps unit. Everyone can be rest assured at least knowing that she is answerable to the Kidō and the Central 46, though.
Due to her affiliation with the Kidō Corps, her brother's membership of the Central 46, and their father's reclusive nature she also adds to the common preception, that the members of the clan, aside of the serving staff and the lower ranking members, they are rarely seen in public. Additionally Nōrishin-owned Heikō (平衡 - Equilibrium) Reishi Re-Cycling Enterprise is seen almost as dubious or sinister as the Shinigami Research and Development Institute itself. (Especially since no one knows for sure where all eceryone's garbage goes, let alone what happens to it). Perhaps to counter this and similar concepts and to prevent possible even wilder beliefs and rumor, Hasu no Hana, as the self-imposed 'substitute Lady' of the clan organizez galas for other noble houses and festivities for the common people to enhance public relatinons with the citizens of Soul Society on a regular, albeit fairly infrequent basis. Not much surprisingly her "Psy Ops" do stand around in disguise during such occasions and a number of Sninnōri guard is stationed all about the place 'just in case'. Apparently Heikō Enterprise's "Garbage Days" are amusigly quite popular among children all across Soul Society regadless of class or location. At least as many young children would say that they want to become a garbage collector when they grow up as they would say, pyrothechnitian, bandit, "wizard" or "court guard".
Blood War[]
With the first invasion of Wandenreich during the Quincy Blood War the Seireitei was hit hard and has sustained heavy damage to both architecture and infrastructure. As a security measure the entire Nōrishin compound bacame encompased inside of a lotus flower composed of highly pressurized, gloving Reishi that was erected high into the sky on a large stem - effectively bypassing the Shakonmaku and placing the compond out of harm's way.
Whle her home was secluded Hasu no Hana had the Kidō Corps Psychological Operations Unit dipatched to the havily damaged Seireitei and was largely resopnsible to taint or rather "tint" all ambient Reishi with notions such as dissent and discontent that was aimed at the Sternritter but generally at all Quincy dow to the lowly Soldat as a demotivational trap. Later during and after the second invasion of the Wandenreich many Sternritter attempted to and even successfuly have deserted their bloody cause.
A few days later the large lotus stem descended back down and the flower shield opend reveling the Nōrishin compound largely intact.
The Nōrishin-owned Heikō (平衡 - Equilibrium) Reishi Re-Cycling Enterprise had a large deal in repairing and rebuilding the heavily damaged and and partially destroyed Seireitei by decomposing and refining ruble and debris, purifiying Reishi, and by providing clean raw materials for rebuilding and construction.
Can't fear your own[]
A couple of years after the Quincy Blood War the Nōrishin are still being staunch protectors of the values of the Soul Society as one of its essential noble houses.
Despite anyone's beliefs in that no one would consider soemeone who failed to get married for a millennium may have good reason to be bound single, Hasu no Hana received a proposal through intermediaries from Tokinada Tsunayashiro - an actual widower, and a cadet branch head of the great noble Tsunayashiro house. Hasu no Hana heard centuries earlier that the man was acused to murder her wife over a petty quarrel, and some even less endearing hearsay of how gleefully cruel he was, however she knew better to give credit to common rumor. Once she too was accused of ritually murdering children en masse. People to easily misunderstand noble agenda's on a regular basis in Soul Society - she thinks - their ken is still framed and limited to see past the dross they bring from the mortal world with themselves.
Hasu no Hana is invitied to attend the coronation Tokinada Tsunayashiro as the head of arguably the most influential Grand Noble House. She loathes to go but is of course obliged to comply. While meeting him privately Tokinada tells her that perhaps his new position merits a positive response to his earlier proposal to her and "challage[s] [her] to consider the bizarre and sad fact that who woluld in their right mind would marry a 1 100 year old woman." She replies with "Perhaps somebody who doesn't give a fig about it." much for the man's delight who says "Blunt but precise." He then brings up her scandal around her earlier engagement, mocking Hasu no Hana's fomer fianceé as an "ignorant fool" adding the he hopes that she's "only fortunate if [sh is] is not damaged goods". Hasu no Hana wonders aloud whether "Is it good fortune to have a suitor to know to little and another to know too much." She resists her urge to throw in recounting Tokinada's own sacandals and the man only smirks and leads the Nōrishin Marquise to the door saying "I almost had a similar sentiment about my candidates. But [you] can smile now, please? This is a joyous day. Make it look like one."ushering both of themselves to attend the coronation ceremony. Most people noted that Hasu no Hana looked somewhat disturbed later the day.
Powers & Abilities[]
Psychic power: Sensing not only ambient spiritual energy but that of the cognitive processes of other persons' minds, Hasu no Hana is able to figuratively read thoughts by deducting psychological patterns of mental performance. This 'premonition' provides her with a leeway to prepare for situations that will present themselves promptly after their conception and recognition. This may be utilized from thinking thigs over twice before uttering words to deflect possible harm and to aim possible countermeasure. She is also able to discern psychic weaknesses which she can highlight - and by concentrating on such findings - psycologically trip the balance in the resolve of a person. Hasu no Hana is also able to notice patterns in group behaviour as well what she can utilize or abuse the same way in relation to the group, or actual individauals therein.
Intuitive Intellect: Hasu no Hana possesses a highly capable cognitive agility. If tension arises or in peril, she has shown herself able to adjust quickly to new developments and act accordingly to those. She has an intuitive mind, as seen from her ability to compensate against stronger opponents with sheer wits.
Great Spiritual Power: Hasu no Hana was born with an above average spiritual level as is not uncommon among the newborns of the greater noble families. Over the years of disciplined training she has achieved the spiritual power level corresponding to a Kidō Corps officer. She may have equal spiritual power with his brother, but both of theirs is considered to be dwarfed by their father's power.
Kidō Expert: She possesses great proficiency in Kidō, very knowledgeable with both Bakudō and Hadō spells and can perform low to mid level spells without chanting. With the Nōrishin clan's collection of demon magic techniqes throughout meillennia and being an able learner and wielder of those arts her skill is comparable with any Kidō Corps commanding officer. She developed a number of mind-affecting spells herself over the recent centuries. In combination with her psychic abilities Hasu no Hana often almost instantly knows when someone is about to use demon magic just by sensing the readiness required to cast as spell, regardles of audible incantation or tangible invocation. In tandem with the "Premonition" described above, she is known to effectively counter spells invoked by others - as per the Hanki technique.
Empathy: The basic ability that Hasu no Hana manifests quite often is an empathic sense that extends from her head in the hypothetic form of a cloud. With this ability she is able to sense people's surface emotions, She can augment the power both in extent and in intensity by spending spiritual power. In this sense this power is actually an ambient Bakudō-subtype Kidō spell by itself, however Hasu no Hana can maintain it too while her spiritual power is concealed, which means that she - if certain preparations are made - she can read people's emotions unnoticed if necessary.
Phantom bearing (幻 軸受け): Technically as much as a bane as a boon. Their condition of sublime apartness - if exploited cleverly - may be used to take advantage of being an innate Soul of the Nōrishin family, that is being profoundly suffused with the Reishi that make up the Soul Society. With enough resolve and faith from their part family members are observed to run across normally impassible surfaces, such as water or fire, or slowing down a fall. After at least three centuries in existence and with great resolve and conviction in a cause a Nōrishin native may escape restraints imposed "unjustly" upon them or even negating barriers. Additionally while exerting some of their spiritual pressure and seeking to avoid attacks, they may easily dodge so long as they do not retaliate.
See related drawbacks below at the Weakness section.
Seishinhogo[]
Instead of a Zanpakuto which characterizes the Shinigami, members of the Nōrishin family possess a Seishinhogo (保護精神 Sprit Guardian). Within a Seishinhogo there resides a sentient and intelligent Spirit with it's own personality. The Nōrishin consider themselves being any kind of sprit warriors - including Shinigami. This is further expressed by their combat-measure-tools that are manifsting as decorative objects or jewels rather than as blades. Inherently not meat for offense the Seishinhogo enhances defensive, abjuring magical, and intelligence measures. However the differences end there. Their powers can be activated utilizing command words, very much resembling to the way of how a Zanpakuto is "relased" by a Shinigami and how it is pulled in to the world of souls or that of the living. Seishinhogo are esssentially not Asauchi 'forged' by Ōetsu Nimaiya but are thought to be spirits bound by and to the Knowledge tool (知具 - Chi-gu) said to be placed under the protection of the Nōrishin clan.
Ishiki (意識, Consciousness)
Ishiki incarnate
is the name of Hasu no Hana's Seishinhogo. It is a crystal pendant suspending on her golden cirlet. According to her point of view, Ishiki is part of her own personality sealed away in the spirit form it manifests in her subconscious "inner world".
As an incarnate spirit Ishiki takes the form of a thin yet somewhat well-toned and long haired female whose shadow-like flesh looks like as if the onlooker were gazing in to the starry night sky, regardless of the time of day and the actual weather. She has emissively glowing white eyes and mouth if she opens it or is talking. Her body is covered in strips of cloth wrapping around her lower body, lower neck, shoulders and upper chest. A golden hued outline around and overtone on her body is also seen to flicker. All-in-all she looks quite akin to the Zanpakutō spirit, Kazeshini. She is aware of this fact and holds affection to that spirit in turn, despite obvious diffrences in their conduct. Ishiki has a psychoanalytical approach to almost everything in existence and is often insolently prying. She concluded that her similarity and affection for Kazeshini is no doubt the result of Hasu no Hana's hidden and/or repressed own attraction to the Liutenant of the 9th Division of the Court Guard , Shūhei Hisagi, about whom - according to Ishiki - Hasu no Hana is "fantasizing" like a pubescent girl about a person of publicity as she acclaims and zealously reads each issue of the Seireitei Communication magazine of what Hisagi is the acting editor in chief. Hasu no Hana refused to confirm this "theory", but she didn't refuted it either, much to the confident broadening of Ishiki's smile, being reassured in the fact that she was proven right. She is eager to go on to resolve conficts rather than avoiding or transcending them, which makes her sometimes at odds with the other Seishinhogo and with Hasu no Hana herself. She is fond of outwitting opponents and even more so piercing them at their most vulnerable mental spot. Ishiki glady accepts every new challenge with a wry smile and casutic wit. Despite her free-willed nature she proved to be very loyal to her mistress when she refused to join to Muramasa's spirit rebellion, saying - among other things - that she neither is even bound to a Zanpakutō as he, nor has she any misgiving with the Sihinigami, and "Although I marvel at the audacity, the intricacy and the subtlety of this plan, I don't applaud you."
Shikai (始解, Initial Release): This state is activated with the command phrase "Emerge". When active, Ishiki glows with violet light on Hasu no Hana's forehead. It changes neither size nor form, just glows with an eerie and sometimes sparkling light.
Shikai Special Abilities:
- The special ability of Ishiki is to allow Hasu no Hana to utilize effective Premonition. She is thus able to acquire information of a person's action right at the moment of the decision he or she takes towards the immenient followning action. Evading, deflecting and countering strikes becomes almost effortless - as if she were knowing what the opponent has had planned.
- Another special ability is the True Metabolism which allows Hasu no Hana being completely in control of every particle of her being, thus allowing her to seal and - in due course and with some further effort - repair injuries as if she was under the influence of a healing or restoration spell. These abilities, including the enhanced quasi-regenartion are however limited only to Hasu no Hana. This makes her unable to heal others with the use of her Seihinhogo but she can still attempt to save others from harm utilizing Premotion or by performing Kidō healing magic.
- With her Empathy being active and Ishiki's Shikai state activated, Hasu no Hana can perceive not just only the surface emotions but also to read surface toughts of a subject.
Shinuchi (真打, Headliner): This state is activated with the command phrase "Submerge". When active, white-violet light manifests in Hasu no Hana's eyes as it begins to emit Ishiki's active light.
Shinuchi Special Ability:
- Psychic Chirurgery allowes Hasu no Hana not just pry and reveal a thought, a secret or a memory in the subject's mind but also impart new knowlede previously unknown to the subject as well as grafting entirely false memories in to another psyche. It is also possible to both repair and cause severe mental dysfunctions, even amnesia. Results are in essence permanent. The use of this power is taxing for Hasu no Hana and has only a limited number of actions rendering Psychic Chirurgery. Ishiki's Bankai has an unstable power which can surge up and take on pulling out and manifesting contents of people's subconscious for good of ill of her wielder.
Weakness[]
Phantom bearing (幻 軸受け): Technically as much as a boon as a bane. Given to their condition of sublime apartness if an innate member of the Nōrishin family take no special precaution - suffused as profoundly with the Reishi that make up the Soul Society as they are - they may be rather sensitive to such abilites as the Reishi absorption of the Quincy. Also they have a hard time to holding up in environments with low Reishi or in the absence thereof, such as in the Human World. The spiritual essence of a Nōrishin native translates unwell into the Mundane World - to the point that they need especially resilient Gigai to avoid separtation. This is usually done by sealing spells applied onto the artifice. Even in the most heavily masking artificial body they stand out by looking empyrean and have genuine difficulty to hide their Reiatsu. Even if they manage to, they must take extra caution to comply to the laws of pysics, as those seem to exempt them from their dominion to some degree. This causes such "errors" as floating instead of falling down properly, distorting light, or unintentionally manipulating substances in an unlikely manner - like drinking a metal spoon turned liquid along with tea. Either way Nōrishin souls have well founded reasons not to visit the Human World - or to leave Soul Society at all. It is implied that in Hell, a Nōrishin would attract hostile Togabito to their person as moths are drawn to a flame. Hasu no Hana showed allergic reaction to iron liquidified from a spoon after she ingested it as part of a cupful of tea obtained from the Human World.
