Name: Arisu Yamashina
Age: At Death – 18, Currently – 62
Appearance:
Overall, Arisu appears to be a normal young woman, with no real striking features that set her apart from others. That however she makes up for with her vibrant personality. She stands at a height of 5’5” and has a weight of around 130lbs when she was last measured. Arisu is physically fit with an athletic build, which she gained from spending many hours training. Yet she still maintains a proportional, feminine appearance despite that. Her skin is naturally fair but thanks to being outdoors a lot of the time, she is often tanned.
Arisu has long, straight hair which reaches down to the middle of her back, and is thick and dark brown in color. She often prefers to wear it up in either a ponytail or binds it with a clip. She most striking facial features are her eyes, almond-shaped with a warm brown color. When one looks into them they can see her liveliness and determination. Due to poor eyesight she is forced to wear glasses, which are designed to flatter her oval face.
Arisu is a lovely girl and she knows it, taking pride in her appearance. This makes her somewhat narcissistic, and she spends a bit of time in the mornings in front of the mirror getting ready.
Personality:
At first glance, she appears to be a shy and quiet person, which sometimes gives others the impression that Arisu has a cold attitude. Once someone gets to know her however, they learn that is really not the case. Arisu is often warm, friendly and outgoing around those she knows, leading her to have a rather hyper personality at times. She also loves to have fun, mainly around those she’s comfortable with though. When around people she doesn’t know she reverts back to her quiet, socially awkward self.
As far as work goes, Arisu occasionally needs motivation in order to complete tasks. Unless it’s something she’s really passionate about, chances are she’ll drop a project after a while if someone doesn’t get on her case to finish it. For the most part, she shows a deep respect to her superiors and teachers, trying her best to keep from having to be reprimanded. Arisu is also fiercely loyal to those she cares about, including the people she respects over all others. Because of that loyal nature of hers, she would fight to protect those people that are important to her.
There are a few personality traits that don’t work in Arisu’s favor however. Sometimes Arisu has a tendency to say what she thinks without thinking beforehand and what she says often has the potential to offend someone. No matter how often this happens though, she never means to say things that are really hurtful to others. She is also a bit forgetful, and needs to keep a schedule with her to remember what her obligations and appointments for the day. On top of that, Arisu is often disorganized and will occasionally lose the aforementioned schedule.
Biography:
Arisu remembers almost nothing from her life before she had died. All that she knew was her first name: Arisu. After her death she had ended up in Soul Society, residing within the 10th District of Northern Rukongai. She spent several years just quietly wandering the streets of this district, until one day she was noticed and adopted into the Yamashina family. While being a member of this ‘family’ unit, she was able to spend about a decade with them without any real hardship or problem.
This nearly carefree life of hers continued until one day she felt something she hadn’t in years, pangs of hunger. She had gone so long without feeling it she didn’t realize what was wrong with her and went along with her daily routine of exploring the district, thinking that she was just coming down with a sickness of sorts. Arisu was still wandering around Rukongai with a member of her family until her hunger became so bad that she had more or less collapsed, having to have her ‘brother’ carry her back home. On the way someone noticed that Arisu had been clutching her stomach and stopped the two, getting her a small amount of food.
After eating just enough to stop her stomach from bothering her, she was told just what her hunger symbolized and that if she trained, Arisu could have the potential to become one of the Shinigami. The thought of that excited and fascinated her, and she made it her goal in her life there to become a member of the Gotei 13.

Zanpakuto appearance:
Arisu’s zanpakuto is like many others, a standard-issue katana. Hers is 120cm long total, and she keeps the blade well sharpened and polished. The guard is circular and silver, with detail that resembles waves on the water. Her zanpakuto’s hilt has a sky-blue colored silk woven onto it. To make the zanpakuto her own, she has a ribbon tied to the end using the same sky-blue silk that covers the hilt. Her zanpakuto’s sheath is standard as well, with no noticeable details on it.
