Character Name: Kotone Akiyama
Gender: Female
Physical Description:
Kotone is a rather pretty woman. Standing 5'7", her long tawny hair pulled back and tied with a white ribbon at the base of her neck. Her bangs are the same length as the rest of her hair, and she chooses to let them remain untied. Her hair is meticulously kept and no strand ever seems out of place, leading to the idea that she brushes and reties it multiple times daily. Her intelligent copper eyes are always gleaming, often accompanied by a sneaky grin. But she is capable of taking on one of an amazing array of expressions at will. She wears the standard Shinigami garb, the fabric of the clothing taut over her ample bosom. There is, however, one thing "marring" Kotone's looks: the lack of a left arm. Due to this, she has taken to using her Zanpakutoh as a cane.
Personality: Conniving, treacherous, sneaky, and devout. All words that are used to describe VC Kotone Akiyama of Squad 5. Despite the fact that most of the Gotei 13 and their VCs and a good portion of the Seated Officers know this of her, she still somehow manages to sweet talk people into things. As much as everyone hates to admit it, the woman is extremely charismatic and can be suprisingly diplomatic if the need arises. She really dislikes fighting, most of the time, preferring to use her silver tongue to fight her battles. Sometimes, she can get rather full of herself, especially if she proves you wrong or beats you in a battle. Lucky for Soul Society, the latter doesn't happen. Otherwise they'd never hear the end of it.
Character History:
Kotone had a better childhood than many. Her father was a rather successful merchant, selling pottery that had gained fame throughout the country. She was often clad in fine silks and easily attracted the attention of seemingly every boy in the city. She never entered into a relationship with any of them, just sweet-talked them out of various gifts and favours. Since she didn't need to work, Kotone ended up learning how to play various instruments and sing, eventually becoming a Geisha to flaunt her beauty and pass the time.
And they were good times. Men often asked for her by name and she quickly became one of the most famous Geishas in the area. Everything was seemingly going good for the young woman until her life was cut short when the building she lived in with her mother, father, and younger brother caught fire. Her mother and father survived, as well as some servants, but she and her brother weren't so lucky.
Next thing she remembered, she was in District 50 of Rukongai. Kotone was not used to living in such a fashion, and was initially stepped on a great deal by souls that had been there longer than she had. But she soon learned that her knack for cheating people would serve her well in this place. And it was this exact skill that got her into the Academy. Yes. She lied her way into becoming a Shinigami just so she could have a more privelaged life. By the time that anyone was the wiser, Kotone had already graduated and started gaining a name for due to her skill with Kidou. But she was unlucky and didn't advance very far in the ranks.
Some time after becoming a Seated Officer in Squad 5, she challenged one of the Captains for his position. She picked one of the worst possible choices. Although she put up a rather good fight, the young Officer was quickly beaten by Yuudai. Shortly after this defeat, he suggested that she take the vacant position of Vice Captain in his squad. Kotone is still aspiring to become a Captain and is fervently displeased with Juno's ascention to said position despite the fact that Kotone has been working for it for a longer time.

Zanakutoh Name: Dokueki no Heibi (Serpent's Poison)
Zanpakutoh Description: Heibi, as the blade is often referred to for short, is an extremely plain looking katana, save for the fact that the pommel is shaped in the fashion of a serpent's head, an engraving of a simmilar beast in emerald green adorns the black portion of the blade
Release Phrase: Toxic Fang! Dokueki no Heibi!
Shikai Description: In this form Heibi's pommel comes to life, the writhing serpent is controlled by means of Kotone's thoughts. The black portion of the Zanpakutoh also starts oozing a poisonous substance, the blade changing to appear somewhat scaled like the black serpent.
