Personality:

Brave, durable, determined and considerate is mostly how Shyra is and pleasant towards others, she has a caring and warm heart that means she will look out for her friends at all costs. She is often seen as a mother figure to younger and unexperianced shinigami.

Shyra is loyal and trustworthy and she doesnt give up on things easily. Apart from her usual nicer personality, she is completely different to someone she dislikes, she can be the opposite, though it is unexpected from her. Shyra is also very witty and intelligent, she isnt afraid to speak her mind. She enjoy's training in her spare time and training other Shinigami to help them. She stands by her division always, no matter what situation she will never betray her comrades. She does however never let anyone into her heart she is very closed off from people at first which can be a downside to her personality but she will look out for her friends. Shyra has a headstrong way of thinking when in battles, her intelligance is what gives her a headstart agasint others but her lack of experiance can mean she falls at the last hurdle. She does however backup her intelligance with being skilled at hand to hand combat.

Appearance:

Shyra stands at 5ft 9'', she has a slender build and wears the usual black shinigami robes. Her hair is a pale blue/silvery colour that is mid length and has piercing dark red eyes, her facial features are well proportioned and almost pixie like. She has a pure and innocence look about her and is quite attractive. She keeps her zanpakuto strapped to her back horizontally where she can access it easily.

Zanpakuto Spirit:

'Kumori Uchiwa'
Kumori means 'shadow dancer' which is what her zanpakuto spirit looks like a dancer of the shadows inwhich she casts shadows all around her. Kumori is a very wise lady, she has flowing black hair and has blood red eyes. She is the opposite of Shyra in almost every way. Kumori is calm and ignorant and sees only negative things, Shyra on the other hand thinks more positivly and has a bright personality. But the same traits they share is their loyalty to each other which they will only show if in a situation where they need to fight together. Kumori is a part of Shyra's soul and seeing her go through everything has made her beleive in Shyra even if she doesnt let it show. She likes to test Shyra pushing her to her limits and putting her in situations that she doesnt like. She is very harsh most of the time, not aknowleging any of Shyra's 'good' battles, if she does something good Kumori will not praise her, from Shyra's point of view it seems that Kumori is only trying to point out her worse habits and can never please her, when in fact Kumori is only doing it to make sure Shyra makes her dream of becoming a captain in the future.
Her inner world looks like a dark room or a cellar but it is filled with what looks like pipes and steel windings. It is very dark in her inner world where many shadows are cast all around, relating to her zanpakuto name.

Sealed Zanpakuto:

Her sealed zanpakuto has a sliver edge to it, and a red hilt and looks ordinary. The blade itself seems to create shadows alot even if there is no sunlight, it is mostly because of what her zanpakuto is based about.

Shikai Description:

Kumori's Shikai releases when commanded ''Dance Kumori'
Her usual and plain zanpakuto changes in appearance turning in to more of a fan shape made up of 6 blades that could completely cover Shyra and a couple more people. The tips of the fan are covered in thick and jaggered blades a thick black chain is attatched to the bottom of the fan making it more agile and be used for throwing attacks. She can also defend from powerful attacks with ease.

Shikai Abilities:

A speacialty attack from Kumori in Shikai that the fan can be closed up so that all the 6 blades that make up the fan close up ontop of one another and looks more like a zanpakuto. She then turns the blade on its side and when commanded the blades shoot out sending a wave of reiatsu hurlting towards her enemies. She can do this at close range of her enemies for an even more devestating attack.

Another attack is something Shyra is currently trying to learn alongside Kumori. The fanblade changes shape by making a full circle with the black chain still present it can now be used as a throwing disc still tipped with blades to cause damange to her enemies if she lands a direct hit.

Bankai Description:

''Zetsumei Kumori'' which means 'Shadow Death'

Shyra's bankai instantly gives her raise in reiatsu. Her fan like zanpakuto changes in to a single red and black blade that casts a shadow of around 6 blades confusing her enemies. Any shadows around or nearby will grow or stretch, even her opponants shadow. Its general ability gives her high levels of force behind her attacks. The shadows that form around Shyra give her the ability to comand shadows to move or appeared anywhere she likes, the shadows can cause confusion for her enemy making it appear as if Shyra has an army of shadows with her. If her opponants are still and not moving she can distract her enemies attention onto her so that she can use a shadow to pin down her enemies by wrapping around their ankes and travelling up to hold them in place while Shyra delivers a final attack.

Bankai Abilities:

A special ability of her bankai is that it can create illusions to confuse her opponanats even more. If she can get her enemies pinned them she can create illusions using shadow to cover the area making it appear that her and her enemy are inside a pitch black room when it really is light making. There is a weakness to using illusions, it drains her reiatsu quickly and puts strain on her and has only been able to use it twice in one battle without collapsing.

History/Background:

Shyra was born into Soul Society and raised into becoming a Shinigami after her parents who were previous 10th Divisioners. They were both seated officers in the Division and fought bravely for many battles Soul Society had. This meant that Shyra lost alot of contact with her parents , so she lacked in some areas of communication. But her parents wanted Shyra to be a memorable shinigami one day and wanted great things for her so when they were with Shyra they raised her to be an independent person. The little time they had with their daughter they used to train her up. By the time she was 8 she was already making a start in practicing to become a shinigami, they would be teaching her some moves but many times she had to watch her parents suddenly rush off to meetings and heated battles. When Shyra was a little older and in her early teens she became so used to being by herself that she didnt need anyone, she didnt need to rely on anyone. She became very independent, she didnt know any different other than to look after herself. When she was learning in the academy with other Shinigami trainee's she had picked up on how everyone made friends and she hadnt. Shyra excelled in the academy proving she was someone unique and had a talent for Kido and fighting. She always got near top gradings and was sometimes made an example to her fellow students.

It wasnt long after that she was made an official shinigami, she was on a high that day when she was given a duty, to protect Soul Society from threats, she had a job to do now. But with one good thing happening another part of her life fell apart. She was informed by some 10th divisioners that her parents were killed in a war. Shyra never got to tell her parents that she passed on into a fully fledged Shinigami like they had wanted, she knew it was her parents dream for her to follow in their footsteps. Not having her parents around anymore seemed easier than she thought, she never really had a close bond with them, but she was still grieving for them and she would secretly cry when she was alone.

When she was on her first ever mission in Karakura town she became seriously injured because of her lack of concentration. She was taken back to Soul Society where she was treated by the 4th Division, she feared that her shinigami status was under threat and was convinced she was a terrible shinigami. She wanted to prove that she could do her job. The next threat or attack, Shyra swore that she would make a difference and prove her worth she owed it to herself, and her parents. Then when an assignment came up Shyra was still not fully recovered from her injuries, but without hesitation she escaped the 4th Division to stop a hollow attack that was heading to the Senkai gate. Shyra with or without injuries was going to protect Soul Soicety. She and some members of the 1st Divisioner stopped the hollows easily. Shyra was convinced that she could do this shinigami job and now she wanted to get even stronger, which was when a highly ranked officer who knew of Shyra's parents saw her doing all kind of jobs out in Karakura she was then put into the 10th Division and has proven to be a good shinigami. After the war and Aizen she was then moved the the 1st Divison where she knew that she would have the chance to make it as a captain one day.
