NANAO ISE
[/b][/center]
Shinigami
Name: Nanao Ise
She prefers to be called by her name but somehow her close friends call her “Nanao-chan” or “Nana-chan”. [/font]
Age: Unknown, born on July 7[/font]
Gender: Female[/font]
Rank: Vice-Captain[/font]
Division: 8th Division[/font]
Appearance:
Nanao-chan is a pure Japanese woman who appears just like a librarian. She always wears her eyeglasses and carries a big, heavy book with her. (Apparently it’s the same book each time) If you’re curious about the book, its contents are all about hot to use your zanpakuto correctly, laws inside the soul society and mastery of kidou. With this librarian look, you won’t notice that she’s in the rank of Vice-captain in the 8th squad. She has a hair color of Raven-blue and she always ties it upwards for some reason like it disturbs her work. When she unties her hair, which is rarely seen, it reaches two inches below her shoulder. There is also a side bangs in her left (your view) which levels her lower chin. The color of her eyes was purple. It is small and by just looking at it, you can reflect her personality. Sometimes, these eyes are innocent when she is in front of an official by her level or higher than her rank. Sometimes these eyes are sharp and scary when someone annoys her or teases her. Her mouth seems normal and she’s rarely seen smiling. Her serious face somehow helps her to concentrate in her everyday work. And, she doesn’t have time to fix her face. (Or she really doesn’t care about it)
She has the height of 5’4.5” which is normal to a simple woman. With this kind of height, she has many advantages like getting books in the library especially on the higher shelves. But, this height can sometimes have disadvantages like she can’t fit well inside a small hole. She has the weight of 106 pounds. It’s a normal weight for her because she moderately eats and has a little care in her body. You can’t call her body as “sexy” just like other female shinigamis but just “simple”. Her complexion is fair and smooth. But, don’t dare to touch or even lay a finger on her skin because you’ll regret being born on this world. This will be her enough reason to take off her glasses. Although Nanao-chan is barely seen without her eyeglasses, when she’s annoyed to someone, she takes off her glasses. When she takes off her glasses and her face being shown, it will be the most frightening event that will happen in their live because she won’t hesitate to fight those who annoyed her. She might be scary at first impression but when you come to get to know her deeper, you’ll say that her appearance doesn’t matter but it’s her inner self which is important and beautiful.[/font]
Zanpakutō:
Her zanpakuto is in a form of wakizashi which she called “Aikuchi”. It is a traditional Japanese sword with a blade of 12-24 inches and similar to katana but shorter. It is primarily used as a stabbing instrument but its edge can also be used to slash. The name Aikuchi was derived from two Japanese words: ‘ai’ is a gerund which means meeting and ‘kuchi’ is a noun that means mouth. It’s because zanpakuto has a mounting style. She keeps her zanpakuto in her sleeve and don’t show it to people. [/font]
Shikai:
Nanao-chan’s shikai has three Golden Blade forms. Although she is not comfortable in using her zanpakuto, she can control her shikai. She knows that she is weak in using shikai because her weapon is really heavy and it’s more appropriate for men.
1. Dragon form- It is like a chain sickle that is capable of disarming, trapping, or directly harming the opponent from a distance. It is consist of a sickle on a metal chain with a heavy iron weight at the end.
2. Zenith Form- It is like a giant scissors that is often used to disarm opponents.
3. Crescent Moon Form- It is like a boomerang that is when thrown, it moves through the air so fast that it creates a buzzing noise. It returns to Nanao-chan’s hands both after impact to the opponent, or after a miss. [/font]
Bankai:
Nanao-chan’s bankai is in an appearance of flute. Although she can’t master her bankai properly, there are skills where she is good at and there are skills that she can’t control. Anyone who hears her music she is making using the flute, his/her mind will be poisoned and he/she will follow any command of Nanao-chan. But, the effect of the sound will only last for an hour. This skill requires a lot of spiritual power that’s why it is rarely used by Nanao-chan.
Music:
*The Dream- she mastered this piece well. The effect of this is that the person affected will lose consciousness and sleep. It’s up to the person when he/she will wake up.
*Control it- sometimes she loses control when she uses this. The effect of this is that the affected person will be paralyzed and she controls the body of the person.
*Thousand Needles- she is trying to learn this but with only tiny chances. Its effect is that after the person is paralyzed, thousand needles will prick the person’s body.
*Opposite Direction- like the Thousand Needles, she is trying to learn this. The effect of this is that every time her opponent attacks her, the damage will affect the opponent instead of her.
*Allied Conscience- it will be a miracle if she’ll learn this. The effect of this is that the opponent will become an ally because she’ll control the opponent’s conscience. [/font]
Kidō:
Personality:
Nanao-chan is a very patient person. She knows that it’s not right to fight quickly to a person that annoys her. Her patience is long and she controls herself well. Being patient, she doesn’t show her angry face but just hide it inside. But, if the person is too much, she’ll take off her eyeglasses and will not hesitate to fight the person who teases her. Many shinigamis annoys her because of her “librarian look” that’s why she’s used to it and try to be calm even if those words hurt her. She’s the type of person who pretends that it’s alright. She is also an obedient person. She does what she needs to do and doesn’t question authority. But, she only chooses the commands of people who are in the right place and not the slacking people. Her extend of being obedient is up to death for the sake of accomplishment of her missions. She doesn’t care if she dies and she’s not scared on any monsters that would appear except those who are very strong. But, she faces them with courage and defeats them. She does all of it so that she can express her loyalty in the Soul Society.
Nanao-chan is a respectful person. Even if both shinigamis the same in her rank and shinigamis on higher ranks teases and annoys her, she still respects them and obeys them. It’s natural for her to see them as models so that she too can be a better person. She is also an alert person. She knows when someone is coming and always ready if a person attacks her. She also knows if a monster or something is near her. And because her instincts are strong, she can sense if an ally is in danger.
Nanao-chan isn’t perfect so she has also negative characteristics. One of them is being sad. She is rarely seen smiling and there’s a reason for it which will be further explained in the history portion. Even if a person does the funniest thing she won’t laugh. It is just like stupid things for her. If a person makes her smile, it just means that person is so close to her. Not smiling makes her a very serious person. But sometimes, not smiling can be also helpful to her because it makes her concentrate on work. She is also a strict person. Being a vice-captain of the 8th squad, she is very strict especially to easygoing and lazy people. She always punishes every mistake that a shinigami will make but from 8th squad only. She is always trying to make their squad a disciplined one using strict rules. That’s why many shinigamis hate her. But, it doesn’t matter to her as long as she knows that she is in the right place to be strict.
Nanao-chan is an arrogant person. She is not the type of person who is humble when winning. When she defeats someone, she just say, “You should know that you won’t beat me!” that can be a sort of help to the person who loses. Even though she doesn’t know that her arrogance can hurt a person, she knows that it can also help. She believes that if you have the power and place to boast, you can sometimes be arrogant. Maybe others hate her for having that “arrogance” inside her but she still knows that a person needs to be humble too. She is also the type of person that is unforgiving. If someone hurts her that much, for example, the person killed her friend, she won’t forgive the killer. She will make the killer suffer and teaches him/her a lesson.
Even if Nanao-chan had these attitudes, she is still a disciplined person. She knows when to behave and acts. She always follows the rules of Soul Society and never happened to break it. She is also an intelligent person. Even by looking at her appearance, you can tell that she’s smart and with the heavy book she’s carrying, she seems a studious person which is really her personality. Her memories are good and she masters kidou well. And, when she was still studying, she excels well in her subjects.
Because she always gets victory, she doesn’t easily accept defeat. When someone defeats her in any kind of contest, she always hates that person. Even if the contest is over, she always practices in that particular thing so that next time, she can defeat all the participants. She is also unkind to all types of people except for one thing. She doesn’t pity those beggars except for the street children because she can see herself in them. But, when it’s an adult, she doesn’t have even a little mercy on them and ignores them.
This ambitious woman is a hardworking person and will do her best in every mission gave to her. And, she knows that she can achieve her dreams as long as she never gives up. [/font]

History:
Birth
It was indeed a beautiful morning. You can hear the chirping birds from the window of Nanao’s parents naming, Seiran Ise (her father) and Shaira Ise(her mother). You can feel the wind blowing gently and see trees swaying softly. Shaira is in her 8th month pregnancy that time and she’s experiencing a hard time. There is also a loud noise outside. Why? It’s because of a festival. It’s traditional for Nanao’s parent to go every year in the festival. But in the situation of Shaira, her husband won’t surely agree with her. “Honey” Shaira insisted with a sweet voice. “You know that it will be dangerous!” Shaira quickly replied standing. “But I wont break our family tradition.” Shaira said trying to convince her dear husband. “I know but still I don’t want you to be hurt. Seiran answered as he tries to stop Shaira from going on the festival. “I won’t be hurt, I promise, I’ll protect myself.” shaira suddenly said with courage in her voice. This time, Seiran and then they walk going out. There were loud sounds and people seem to be happy parading with their different kinds of spiritual powers. Shaira kind childish so she runs holding Seiran`s hands. Suddenly, Shaira`s stomach aches. IT REALLY hurts. Seiran panics and calls “help” to everyone. But because of the loud noises, no one hears him. This time, he carries his beloved wife going to the nearest hospital. The doctors said that Seiran should choose between Shaira and the baby. It’s really hard for him to choose. While thinking for it he saw a pregnant woman and he talks to her “I was thinking a while of who’ll I choose. Is it my wife or the baby? Seiran said with a tear on his eyes “If I would be your wife, I’d rather die than my baby to die. The baby’s innocent and I’ll be happy to see the baby growing from way up there. So, you should choose the baby.” The woman replied and quickly leaves. When the doctor asked again which is the one who would like, Seiran immediately answered and he choose the baby. And Shaira died peacefully but the baby is alive and Seiran named her “Nanao”. For Seiran, the baby is like a Nine Tail which is translated as Nanao because of its innocence and he wants the child to be strong.
Childhood Days
It was indeed a beautiful morning. You can hear the chirping birds from the window of Nanao’s room. You can feel the wind blowing gently and see trees swaying softly. You can also smell the sweet flowers and taste of an egg as a breakfast, it’s anew beginning. Nano is still a child and she experiencing a hard time not having a mom. There was a loud noise inside the house> why? It’s because today is Shaira’s birthday but she is gone. It’s been 7 years since Shaira died and her husband, Seiran, still can’t move on. Instead of having fun, Seiran is mourning and drinking alcohols. Nanao can’t seem to move in her place sitting at a chair. But, if she still doesn’t doing something, they would die of hunger. Since Shaira’s death, Seiran becomes lazy and sad. That’s why Nanao is the only one who works for their family. Poor little child stets still young to work. Little Nanao is used to her father but she doesn’t know why this time it’s like different. It’s like her father is going crazy that’s why Nanao can’t move. With a big sigh, Nanao-chan fries to be happy but still her father continues to mourn. She feels something bad will happen. Her instincts are strong so Nanao-chan seems to keep an eye on his father. Next day, it was Shaira’s death anniversary and Nanao’s birthday. It was also the festival day. Nanao-chan was amazed by the people parading. As a child, she wants to copy what they are doing so suddenly a spiritual ball appears in her hands. It’s so beautiful but dangerous. So, after all, she had a power hidden. She can’t control the ball so a man from the parade helps her to stop it. The man looks like a shraigami and powerful. After the festival, Nanao-chan was so happy going home with the things she bought. While walking, her neighbors informed that her father committed a suicide. She suddenly throws away the plastic bag she’s holding and runs. At first, she taught that it was just a lie but after seeing her dead father with her own eyes, she finally believed. She cries and cries as she saw that a wakizashi striked her father’s heart. By the way, Seiran is a shinigami but when he was married with Shaira he stayed away from Soul Society. Everything turned black for Nanao-chan and now, this is the reason why it’s hard for her to smile.
Teenage Days
It was indeed a beautiful morning. You can hear the chirping birds from the window o Michelle’s room. You can feel the wind blowing gently and see trees swaying softy. You can smell the sweet flowers and a taste of an egg as a breakfast, it’s a new beginning. It’s hard for Nanao-chan to live alone. She is now 18 years old and there are good and bad occasions happening. The good occasions are the festival day and Nanao-chan‘s 18th birthday. The bad occasion is her parent’s death anniversary. Nanao-chan woke-up early to sell the ordinary day, but who knows what may happen? While setting, a shinigami come to help her. Nanao-chan realizes that it’s the same shinigami who helped her. After the work, Nanao-chan stretches her arms then thanked the man. “It’s very funny for a shinigami like you to help a beggar like me.” Nanao-chan said as she fixes her things and ready to go home. ”Haha, you’re right it’s just I pity someone like you. And even a beggar deserves help as long as it is with your whole heart, right? The shinigami replied and smiled. “So I hate people who pity me.” Nanao-chan quickly said,”Sorry for that because there’ something I want you to do. You can achieve your dreams as long as you never give up. Just… smile always.” The shinigami said looking at Nanao-chan’s eyes. Those words strike Nanoa-chan’s heart hardly. She suddenly realizes that it has been a long time since she lugh or smile. Blushing, she glances at the shinigami and smiled for a second. “It’s already getting dark, I shall go home.” Nanao-chan said then carried her bag and walks. “Wait, I can sense something on you. You have the ability to be a shinigami.” The shinigami immediately said to stop Nanao-chan from leaving. “I know…” Nanao-chan wasn’t shocked to hear that because she knew that her father was a shinigami. “Let’s go. I’ll train you.” The shinigami gather her seriousness to say this. “How can I trust you?” Nanao-chan replied curiously. “Let’s just say that I’m once a trainee of your father when I was still a kid.” Those words surprised Nanao-chan. “You still don’t believe me, huh?” The shinigami put out a glowing charm necklace. It was beautiful. “Your father said that he’ll give this to you. He wrote your name here.” Nanao-chan looked closely at the glowing charm necklace and she was surprised to see that ‘NANAO’ was curved in the center. “Okay, I believe in you now. I want to be strong so I’ll follow you.” They went to Soul Society to practice.[/font]
