Name: Ryoko Yukari
Gender: Female
Rank: Vice Captain, Squad 2.
Physical Description.
Ryoko is a quite short woman at ony 5'4". Her form suggests an athletic, but not aggressive persona, but in reality, it's quite the opposite. She wears mostly standard Shinigami dress, for the 2nd squad. A tight fitting black outfit with the upper-back missing. She has not yet learned to use Flashcry, but has taken up the standard garb for the team anyway. Her hair is jet black, and cut short, held up by the blindfold over her eyes. The material of the blindfold is red, blood red in fact. Her skin is white, but lightly tanned, as she spends alot of time wandering around Seireitei, under the hot sun.
Personality:
Ryoko is soft in appearance, but her personality is sharp and hard. She is blind, so relies on her ability to sense her enemies. For this reason, the weaker people around her don't show up so well, and so treats them as someone who 'isn't there', almost literally. For those that annoy her, or she is tauntung, she takes this to extremes, purposefully ignoring them, and hoping they assume that she is truly blind.
History:
Born into an order of ritualistic monks in feudal Japan, Ryoko followed none but her Gods, and superiors within the monastery. This order of Monks and Nuns had a habit of blindfolding themselves once they had suitably learned to listen for footsteps, and memorised the layout of the surrounding area. They wore white robes, but blood red blindfolds, for symbolic reasons. These monks were renowned for their fighting skill, whether with a weapon, or barehanded. Their acute hearing gave them an advantage during an ambush, which they were frequently caught up in for various reasons.
Ryoko advanced to the head of a combat division of the monks, ordered to fight on behalf of their prefecture during times of war, and used as guardians of the peace during the less exciting times. They were widely respected, and rarely beaten, as their opponents would often misjudge the blind warriors.
Ryoko rarely spoke during her living years, a faint signature of Reiatsu built up within her during training, and although she never learned to utilise it in battle, she could use it to pinpoint enemy locations, and to communicate telepathically with the other monks and nuns.
This reiatsu got her into trouble with the Shinigami and Hollow, of course... A battle raged outside their land between several low-level Shinigami and a large Hollow, drawing Ryoko in to help, thinking that they were real people. When she arrived, she was jostled about by the Shinigami, they claimed they were 'keeping her safe from the monster' but she didn't listen, and attacked with them.
The Hollow was defeated, but unfortunately, she was no match for the beast, and was taken down in the process. The Plus that was left in her place had solid white eyes, no pupils to speak of, and they glowed a little like pearls. She spoke to the Shinigami, and learned of the place she would be going... When she arrived in Soul Society, her place in the Academy had been set aside instantly, and allowed her access.
During the Academy, she refined her abilities to sense almost anything around her, not just the people, but the buildings and walls, even furniture. She adopted the blood red blindfold as she had during life, and although her Kidou was sub-par for her raw power, she was a great warrior with a blade. She had gained access to her Shikai within her time in the Academy, and what shocked most of the other cadets is that hers was permanently unlocked, in the form of twin-Katars.
Given her sensing abilities, and weapon finesse, Captain Tahoshi took her for his own team straight away, and has trained her personally as somewhat of a protegé. She has since risen to the rank of Vice Captain in his squad.
Statistics:
Melee (Unarmed): 50{40} (60{48})
Kidou: 10
Shunpo: 20 (35)
Reiatsu: 40 (50)
Block: 5
Sense Reiatsu: 65 (70)

Zanpakutoh Name: Guardian of Peace
Zanpakutoh Description:
As Mentioned before, Ryoko's Zanpakutoh is in constantly Shikai form. This is a dual-blade Shikai, and takes the form of Two Katars. They are almost like punching daggers, but have a blade along both edges, making them useful for slashing as well. (Think like Kiros from Final Fantasy 8)
The hand-grips are blood red like her blindfold, but are attached at her wrist, freeing her hands up, and the blades are pure silver in colour, almost as if made with alchemical silver. Contrary to the look of her weapons, these blades are ice-type. Normally contradicting her Captains weapons, they work well together in creating super-heated steam.
Named attacks:
"Ice Lightning"
The blades of her Katars split away from the guards, turning to shards of ice, they are flung at the enemy. Upon being hit, the blades re-grow on her guards.
"Diamond Dust"
The blood-red blindfold on her head fades away, revealing her eyes beneath. The icy-cold glare of eyes without pupils creates a wave of ice from her, anything in the path that is engulfed in the ice will freeze. This is the attack that works well with Tahoshi, his flames are enough to turn it to steam and super-heat it, if he is in the path of the ice-wave.
Combat style: Dance Fighting.
Ryoko's normal fighting style is that of a dance fight, she moves quickly, attacking from many different angles, using both feet and hands. Her blades are more of an extension to her hands, allowing her to fight with her hands, but having the extension of weapons.
Gender: Female
Rank: Vice Captain, Squad 2.
