Name: Owan Azami
Gender: Female
Age: Azami was born in Soul Society. She is now about 58 years old but has kept the looks of a fifteen year old.
Biography: An unwanted daughter who should have died thirty years ago.
Born to a family of spies and assassins, Azami was the daughter viewed only as a burden. She was often neglected and learned to keep to herself instead of seeking other people’s company. When she was about twenty five, her parents arranged a marriage for her, but Azami’s fiercely independent personality was looked down on by her fiancé and the betrothal ended in disaster. From that day, her parents only saw her as a useless daughter that would be of no use to them, so secretly they plotted against her. Her two twin brothers were older than her and hated Azami’s spirit as well. She saw them only as spoiled children. There was no sibling affection between them.
After the betrothal failed, Azami’s parents made it clear that they expected her to become their housekeeper and maid. When she told them that she had no desire to become their servant, her mother slapped her, ending the little mother and daughter relationship they had between them. Azami swore that she would never again bow down obediently to something she disagreed with.
At the age of thirty-seven, she made a bold move and took on the code name Azami, thus rebelling against her parents the life her parents expected her to lead. When she was fourty-five, she was sent on her first—and last solo mission. While tracking down a member from a rival clan, Azami’s parents and her two brothers attacked her from behind and left her bloody body outside the gates of Seireitei. There, a high ranking shinigami adopted her and took her to his home to heal and encouraged her to join the Academy. She agreed and trained to become a shinigami, but before she graduated, her guardian’s family was wiped out by her clan. Azami has vowed that she will teach her heartless family a lesson.
{{Note: Azami is a Japanese name meaning ‘Thistle,’ which symbolizes independence and defiance.}}
Appearances: A delicate and lovely porcelain doll, she meets your stare with an icy gaze. Will you be able to look away?
Azami resembles a china doll in more ways than one, with her dark hair and eyelashes, her piercing blue eyes and pale skin. When you first look at her, the two things that are particularly striking are her bonelike frame and her icy blue eyes. Azami has a small, delicate body, as she is only 60 in. (about 152 cm.) and weighs in at a breezy 85 lb. (about 38.5 kg), as is expected for spies and assassins. She is not particularly strong but she is speedy, which compensates for her lack of strength.
Azami has medium-long hair often worn in a high ponytail or in a bun. She has a scar in the shape of an ‘X’ on her chest where her brothers tried to stab her and two more on her back. Her face is heart-shaped with a narrow chin and medium cheekbones. Her fingers are thin and crafty, and her arms and legs are long and skinny, just like the rest of her body. Azami dislikes the standard Shinigami shihakusho and modified it into a skin-tight version. She wears a silver choker with a sapphire teardrop shaped pendant around her neck and two silver bracelets on each arm. She has also adopted a thin powder-blue sash in place of the standard one.
Personality: Beautiful, poised, and cold, with a deep scar on her heart.
Azami gives the impression of being extremely mature and serious. In conversations, Azami often impresses with her witty comebacks and thoughtful comments. She has a clever mind and a sarcastic tongue to match. She often has a both sharp and intense aura, for she keeps track of what always goes on; her former training has carried on into her life as a student. Despite her reserved personality, she is fiercely independent and does not care what others think about her. After her arranged marriage in the past, she will not hesitate to stand up for what she believes in. Azami has no problem making friends, for she is an excellent actress and easily charms those around her by telling them what they want to hear. Although she has many friends, she holds them all at a distance for she has difficulty trusting anyone after her bloody past. However, if her friends are in danger, Azami will fight for them because she knows that they would likely do the same for her. Whereas Azami’s love for others is weak, her loyalty to others is strong.
Azami enjoys playing sports of nearly every kind, for she is very much a tomboy. She is easily irritated by the sheer stupidity of some people and hates waiting. However, her serene face will not betray any of her emotions, for she is an expert and keeping her emotions bottled up. Azami has two distinct sides to her personality—her mature side and her childish side. She can easily tell how a person feels and is careful to avoid touchy subjects if she is talking to someone who is sad or angry. She is charismatic and can often cheer people up when they are depressed. However, Azami is also very childish for she enjoys taking afternoon naps and eating sugary sweets. As she grows older, she is less and less childish for she begins to realize what it means to be alone in the world.
Division applying to: The 8th division.
Zanpakuto Appearance:
Azami’s zanpakuto resembles either a short katana or a long dagger, with a total length of 60 cm.—the blade alone is 45 cm. The tsuba is in the shape of a crescent moon, her family’s crest. Her tsuka is a silvery-blue color which matches her sash. A thin silver ribbon about 25 cm. long hangs from the end. The ribbon has a design of swirls woven into it. The pattern is copied onto the blade of the zanpakuto. The blade also has a teardrop close to the point of the sword.
Azami usually wears her zanpakuto horizontally on her lower back. She sometimes wears her zanpakuto on her wrist, using the ribbon as a handle. She dislikes using her zanpakuto to fight as it draws blood, but will use it if she is determined to win (or if she’s desperate). Her zanjutsu skills are merely mediocre, as she does not have the necessary strength needed to wield a zanpakuto. However, she is quick when fighting and easily tires out her opponents. When she does draw her blade, she wields it with one hand.
