*Name: Haruka Badr
Nickname: Blue Kirin
*Age: 27
*Gender: Female
*Squad: 4
*Rank: Captain
Weapons: A small dagger like blade she keeps strapped in her Obi.
*Personality: Despite her intimidating appearance, Haruka is a very gentle and placid woman who often goes out of her way to tend injuries of those around her, and has a playful innocence. She's thoughtful of others and often puts their needs above her own, extremely shy, kind and keeps to herself, she also holds an air of innocence and serenity about her wherever she goes, holding a graceful dignity within her movements and words. She also has a temper on her when push comes to shove and refuses to let others treat her lightly as she understands the responsibility that healing others holds upon a group as a whole. She views the art of healing as a sacred practice and life in all shapes and forms as a precious gift and that if the ability to heal is misused and inverted it could be used to potentially harm and kill others. She feels that respect and trust should be earned while kindness is offered freely.
*Physical Appearance
- Spoiler:
Haruka is a 5ft 2 busty woman that has long silken hair of midnight hue that is often worn in a loose warriors ponytail to keep it out of her way so it's not wrapping around her lower legs. Her eyes are of a bright crimson hue akin to freshly spilled blood, her lips hold a shade of the same color along with her nails. She has a healthy pink tinge to her skin that holds no blemishes. Her attire often consists of her arms being bandaged from the knuckles up to the upper forearms, traditional kimono's and obi's that are of the shades of autumn and summer in their bright reds, pinks, oranges and yellows. She has a pair of cut of sleeves that are tied at the upper arm and she wears shoulder pads that are akin to those worn by samurai when they don their battle armor.
*Bio: Growing up in the Rukongai was touch for a child like Haruka. She was often very shy and kept to herself, only sneaking into the town to steal a loaf of bread, rice balls or bean buns to eat when she couldn't ignore her hunger any longer. She spend most of her time on the outskirts near the forests and trees, feeling at home and safe within the foliage. She would also tend to wounded creatures she came across and nurse them back to health before letting them go on their way once more. As she was wandering in the forest one day she came across a small bird that lay on the ground hurt, she was just about to reach out and pick it up when suddenly a hollow burst from the bushes nearby only to meet with the blade of one of the shinigami that were patrolling the area at the time. She watched the creature vanish before her eyes after a single blow from the warrior before she then walked over to the small bird and gently picking it up, she tended to it's wounds. The shinigami watched the act before the little creature flew away and asked if she would like to help more than just the creatures in the forest. She looked up at the stranger and nodded slightly before she was taken to the academy. There she studied hard to improve her skills and learned to use Kidō and became rather adept at healing. She then went on to join the ranks of Shinigami and continued to do her best to heal all that were injured and crossed her path in the 4th Squad and grew up admiring Retsu Unohana as the kind of woman she wished to become.
Inner world appearance:
- Spoiler:
Haruka's inner world is a moonlit field that holds delicate glowing purple Lilly like flowers, the grass a rich blue-green. The flowers sway in a gentle breeze as clouds drift along lazily past the clear moonlit night sky and the bright shining stars above, a light spray of glowing pollen escapes the flowers and drifts upon on the winds in various places within a ring of mountains. A lake filled with sparkling crystal water is off to one side.
Zanpakutō
*Name: Jundo Ringu
Zanpakutō spirit: Jundo
- Spoiler:
Jundo's form is that of a holy beast known as a Kirin, often called the Chinese version of a unicorn. It stands as high as a fully grown mare but is lithe and agile in it's movements. It's body is covered in teal scales like those of a dragon and has a tail like a lion's although with dark ridges. It's has cloven hooves like a goat only they are the color of gold and it's hair is the pure white of snow that's found as a beard on it's chin, a mane along it's neck, the area it's hooves meet it's legs and on the end of it's tail. It's head is shaped more like a dragons with two long whiskers that come from just below the nose while upon it's forehead is a horn of purest silver hue and eyes that are crimson like fresh spilled blood but fill of wisdom. Jundo tends to be somewhat alike Haruka in nature and personality, it wishes to heal any injury seen and offer comfort and peace to those around it but at the same time it has a wildness to it and cannot be tamed but rather it chooses to submit to only the purest of hearts as is the nature of a kirin, it's the living embodiment of purity, grace and innocence.
*Sealed form:
- Spoiler:
Haruka's Zanpakutō in it's sealed form appears to be a long katana that is almost the same length as her own body. It's carried over her shoulder using a long length of thick red rope like cord or carried by another much in the same fashion as her predecessor Retsu Unohana had done. The sheath is made of a red wood with aged golden metal around the body of it attached to the cord for ease when carrying it. Up near the opening of the sheath the gold has a red flower like pattern consisting of 6 dots and an ornate stamp beneath it and functions as the only decorative function upon the blade. The blade itself is in appearance of a purity like liquid in it's steel blade, the grip and cross guard of the blade is a charcoal black in appearance.
*Shikai:
- Spoiler:
Upon release, Jundo's form alters to that of a pair of Chakram that are about 38cm/15inc. in diameter with a wave like pattern along the center of the bladed edge. This pair of blades differs to the typical type as they are only bladed on one half of it's diameter in a kind of hybrid version somewhere between the Chakram and the Chinese Wind and Fire Wheel. There are a pair of short ribbons that are tied to one end of the handles that cross the diameter of the blades that is the excess of the padded grip so that they can be held for melee combat without tiring the wielder's hands. Haruka's clothing also alters into a style that is better suited for agility and speed but with it's own flowing touches that are reminiscent of Jundo's silken mane and hair.
*Call out phrase: Protect their innocence Jundo
*Any abilities/techniques: Jundo has a special ability to be controlled by mere willpower so that it can not only be recalled after hitting a long distance opponent but also enables it to turn corners thanks to the agility that is boosted from taking this form.
However there is a limit to how far away the blades can be manipulated by will alone and would simply fall to the ground if they pass 100m/328ft from the wielder. These are only minor abilities however as Jundo is a healing Zanpakutō and is more powerful at acting as a medical amplifier allowing the wielder to heal two targets at once when placed upon the patients chest.
*Bankai name: Junsui Na Sutaffu
*Bankai description:
- Spoiler:
When Bankai is activated, Jundo merges together and it's handles lengthen, the blade takes on a crescent moon shape, one gold the other silver and face one another on opposite sides of the handle's length, becoming a kind of long staff. It's length has gold and silver entwined along it's entire length with a pure and clear crystal on both the base of the handle and the tip where it stretches slightly from the center of the bladed area into a point. The center where the crescents are become more ornate and has another large clear crystal in it's center that is a kind of round disk like shape. From the base of the crescent area, ornate whisker like lengths of silver and gold thread hang with small crystals attached to their ends. Haruka's clothing also alters into what appears to be a kind of blue garment that one would expect to find on a fair maiden in a fairy tale and is also endowed with it's own gold and silver jewels.
*Any abilities/techniques: Junsui Na Sutaffu's abilities are more pronounced in their healing nature when in Bankai state. They allow Harka to make a protective barrier of gold, silver and jewel like vines to protect her patients as she heals their injuries. The crystals upon the staff help her to purify any wounds of all contamination, be they poison or infection. Her third ability when in this state is that not only can she heal more than a single person at a time, but she can heal multiple if they are within the confines of her protective barrier, although in all cases the time it takes to fully heal someone is dependent on the damage that they have sustained. Her final ability is however her only offensive one other than the use of Kidō, is the ability to create a dense ball of energy that appears to look like a pure white pearl hued ball, similar to the espada's cero and fire it causing an intense blast of blinding light that burns like fire yet is cold to the touch upon impact.
