Personality:
jewel is warm and gentle. she can axct childish at times, but is also very motherly to those under her.
History:
Life: jewel was raised in a small country by the sea. she was born in a city near the farm where she would spend much of her childhood. when she was 14 she began her formal education and was sent to a school for girls. it was here that she began to realize her powers. it started when she began to see people that weren't there, ghosts of students and teachers long gone. shortly after she began to notice odd auras surrounding people. she came into the fullness of these powers when she began to play the violin. her fello students were known to skip classes just to listen to her practice. rumors would circulate that her music could do everything from heal the sick to change the weather to even bring those on the verge of death back. most of these were mere speculation.
jewel lead much of a normal life, though she met an untimly end in an accedent involving a carriage.
seireitei:
jewel's after life began in one of the nicer districts of seirertei, district 17 to be exact. she mad her life in seireitei by selling flowers on the street couners. things were going quite well until one day while bring her cart of flowers home she was jumped by some of the more dangerous folk in seireitei. they intended to beat her, steal waht little money she had, and do whateve natuere of cruel things struck their fancy. and that's they way it would have happened if not for the arival of the former captain of the 4th squad had not decided to take his evening walk in district 17. in truth he was hoping to catch jewel on her way home from selling flowers. he heard her screams for help and came to her aid. the former captain being well versed in many forms of martial arts beat the would be burglers senseless. thus began the thier relationship. the former captain insisted that she relocate her spot of selling to the more secure inner court and with his influence as captain made it so. her small flower selling business florished as did her relationship with the captain. he began to train her in the art of capoeira as a means to defend herself. the mixture of dance with fighting made it easy for her to learn.
years went, it was not to long before she became engaged to the captain and wedding set in the not to distant future. as a gift to his soon to be wife he gave her a violin. i wish i could say that the first time she laid the bow to the violin something truly extraordinary happened, but in truth it made a god awful sound. it had been over a hundred years since she had last played and it showed. the former captain told her to keep at it and one day she would get it right. it was thus that she began her study of a reiatsu violin, which would later become her primary weapon as the captain of squad 4, but much was to happen before that day.
with her exelent skill in capoeira the former captain pushed for her to join the shinigami academy.
with her skill in both kidou and in insane amount of reiatsu control she flew through the academy in about two thirds the normal time. she was placed at sixth seat on the 4th squad apon request of the captain.
but we're getting ahead of ourselves here. in the accademy she relearned of her unique ability to heal wounds with her violin. using her reiatsu in unison with the violin she was able to both heal and cause wounds. her frightening skill became more and more clear when on a field assignment she was able to move to shikai form and slaughter at least 3 medium strength hollows. the story of which goes as follows.
jewel as well as four other cadets and one teacher entered the human world for some hands on experience with a real hollow. this was back when she was being taught to focus primarily on kenjutsu, being the art of the swordsman. the five cadets engaged to hollow at close range. at such close range jewel didn't stand a chance. her first and only swing was blocked, shattering her sword and throwing her several meters away. here fellow cadets managed to beat the solitary hollow without her in the way. with the teacher focused on the other cadets none of them noticed as three fairly large hollow began to swoop over head. jewel saw them, but it was of no use. fear consumed her, the hollows soaring overhead, her team with thier backs turned could not see the threat. suddenly a voice shot through her head, half music and half language a voice only she could understand. "play"... "play the song roses".. was all it whispered to her. confused she glanced at her sword, the sword hilt seemed to melt away into the neck of a violin, the body of the violin forming slowly. a strange feeling filled her and gripping the violin she ran up the fire escape to the top of one of the near by buildings. her heart pounding a bow formed in her free hand. laying the bow to the strings she called out, "PLAY ME A SONG... PLAY ME A SONG OF THE ROSES". in an instant the strings began to glow bright blue. from the first note jewel lost herself in the song. from the sky hundreds, no thousands of brillinet red rose petals began to fall. wave after wave of invisible blades flew from the instrument in her hands. the roses burst into even more smaller rose petals. the hollows roared diving toward her, the blades slamming into them. as she hit the crushendo of the music it seemed as if millions of blades flew from her, shredding the three hollows. when she again opened her eyes she found herself surrounded by reiatsu rose petals and chunks of hollow. her teacher found her just as she lost consiousness from using so much reiatsu.
with that incident under her belt it was not long before she found herself on the sixth seat of the forth squad.
and for a time it was good. she would go on her missions, the captain never left her far from his sight. nearly 50 earth years passed. then came the mission to end all missions.
it was suppose to be a simple trip in to huceo mundo to gather information on hollow movement. every one new that there would be plenty of hollows there, but when they got there it almost seemed there where no hollows in huceo mundo at all. the 16 members of the team spread out and it was thus that one at a time they were picked off. a sand snake type hollow was sliding just barely of under the surface of the white sand. within moments there were only three of them left, the captain, his vice captain, and her. looking around they stood ready for anything.
as the sand suddenly burst as the large beast swirled around them. the captain and his first stood at either end of her protecting her. she pulled her violin out of the case, but she was shaking to much to to hold it steady.
"hold steady," the captain said faking a smile toward her. "don't show any fear"
she nodded and tried to focus.
the fight began in an instant, no warning. the hollow rammed toward them, the body over 30 meters long. the captain and his vice captain swong into combat. their skill in both ken justsu and kidou forced the beast back, but unbenownst to them a second beast slid up from behind. jewel was almost in the jaws of the beast before she even realized it was there. she scream and the captain turned around. with a word he told his vice-captain to take carfe of the one in front he would handle the one who by then had wrapped itself around her, squeezing the life from her. the battle was to be near epic, but jewel fell unconsous shortly after it began.
though the captain and the vice captain did there best, both would die in the fight and jewel would have as well if squad 13 hadn't of been returning from a long term assignment in huceo mundo.
a long boring story later she awoke in medical ward of seireitei. her zanpakutoh had been nearly destroyed in the fight and she found her lover and her captain died.
it was her that she quit her squad and went back into seireitei as nothing more than a commoner. she took a post as a nurse in the hospital. her training in the fourth squad mad her the best nurse avalleble.
things would have stayed that way if not for a visit from the captain commander himself. they spoke at great length about her time in fourth squad and it's current state. aperantly there was no one to fill the empty post of captain even months after her captains death. at great length the captain commander convinced her to at least give captain training a chance.
it took her less than three quarters the time to finish the captains course and achieve bankai.
after showing the advanced form of her zanpakutoh and within a month she was placed at the captains seat of the fourth squad.

Block 20
Sense Reiatsu 15
Hide Reiatsu 10
Fighting Style: capoeira, a speed based fighting style looking much like break dancing. focusing on footwork and quick movements. she rarely uses her zanpakutoh as it gets in the way more than it helps, but when she gets really serious she will use it's shikai form to cause even more damage to the poor soul that angered her.
Zanpakutoh Name: kurokaz [black wind]
Zanpakutoh Description (Sealed): unlike all other zanpakutoh jewel's is not in the form of a sword while seal. rather it is in the shape of a black violin. it is in fact a totally different type of weapon altogether. while sealed it is much like a normal violin, save the fact that it is near indestructible.
Shikai Release Phrase: "sing chiyukaz... play me a song of [*changes depending on her mood*]
Shikai Description: the shape remains much the same, all but the strings, which begin to glow a brilliant blue. her hands become covered in thin back tattoos which change when the style of music changes.
Shikai Fighting Style: if she uses her zanpakutoh at all it means she has given up on normal combat and is no longer holding back. thus as she plays the violin the sounds shift the air around it and trigger sonic like attacks, literally turning the air into an invisible blade. though block-able, one could not do it without using reiatsu, no normal blade.
Shikai Named attacks:
"song of the sea": a sweet melody fills the air. replenishing strength and heals wounds. a true non-combat technique it is used only for healing.
"song of the storm": forming blades from sound vibrations, acting much like thrown sword, being made of sound they cannot be blocked by normal means. the max in shikai form is 4 blades of sound.
"song of the roses": causing the ground to vibrate ever so slightly making it more and more difficult to stand on solid ground. such and attack is similar to a weak, but highly focused earthquake.
Bankai Release Phrase: "cry to the winds my sweat melody kurokaz..."
Bankai Description: the tattoos cover much of her body and black feathery wings form on her back. her bankai is known to cause massive sonic atmospheric shifts often causing it to rain, and form thunder storms, these she has no control over. while in bankai form she cannot touch the ground as that her reiatsu is moving to quickly and would cause something like a earth quake.
Bankai Named Attacks:
"song of the earth": the ground shakes, stone breaks. the world falls away as dust. an earthquake, an insanely powerful earthquake. the technique has been forbidden in the living realm due to destructive effects.
"song of the sky": clouds form and rain begins to pour. but it is no ordinary rain, made from free floating reiatsu it creates and ultra slick surface on all it covers.
"song of death": a darker far older song. it quiet literally drains the reiatsu from the whom ever she is facing turning it into a crystal spear, which at the song conclusion is thrust through the victims chest.
important notes: jewel uses her zanpaktoh rarely and focuses mostly on her basic fighting style, capoeira. she carries her zanpakutoh on her back in a heavy case protecting it (not that it needs any protection).
