The In Depth.
Allegiance: Soul Society
Past Gotei Division(s): None
Gotei Division: Eleventh Division
Seat: Lieutenant
The Outer Physical:
Marianne appears to be a young, teenage girl, light-skinned, thin and fit. She has bright green eyes, with a vivacity that reflects her own personality. Her light, mid-back length blonde hair is often worn in two messy buns on either side with wisps of hair let loose. Bangs are parted to the left with two strands of longer hair typically on either side. Her hair is done rather sloppily, and it's length isn't evident unless she lets her down.
Physically stronger than she appears, she is very toned. Usually, she wears an arrogant smirk on her face and she always has the appearance of being unstable and excited. Though she is indeed pretty, her beauty is reckless and often goes unnoticed as she could care less about appearance when her primary motivation is battle.
The Clothing:
When in uniform, which is most of the time, she dons a typical shihakusho, though she has a habit of undoing the kosode (the top black part of the robe), whilst maintaining her white shitaji underneath (the undergarment worn under the kosode), as she feels the kosode is too constraining due to the long sleeves. While some shinigami use shitaji that are sleeved and loose, hers is sleeveless and tight. She is rather uncomfortable in the shihakusho, though she has gotten accustomed to it over time.
When not in uniform, or when visiting the human world in gigai form, she dresses in tight tank-tops and skinny jeans or shorts with tennis shoes. She despises dresses or anything formal.
The Personality:
Marianne Ajisai is a very brash young woman. She loves to have fun and fight. While her skill in battle is great, she is rather socially inept. Just as she disregards consequences and plunges into battle, when around other people,. she says things that are out of place and has little to no regard for other peoples' feelings. She speaks what is on her mind and fails to understand what would seem like common sense in a conversation.
During Shinigami Academy, she had several suitors whom she turned down unknowingly, not understanding what they were trying to do or the point of something like love. She was often estranged because of what others considered rude behavior. While her intentions are good and her words harmless, she does not always act upon them in the correct way. When she tells someone something hurtful, she is merely being honest, not trying to get on their bad side.
The Fighting Style:
She is knowledgeable in the fray of battle, but often charges without thinking. Though her skills definitely have potential, her recklessness often lands her into the hands of trouble. Luckily, with her quick wit and talent for fighting, she usually navigates out of any complications in the end, but it isn't always without consequence. Even so, many rely upon her battle techniques because they are, despite being so quickly thought out, effective. Marianne dislikes being on the defensive side and likes being in the center of battle, not off on the sidelines. She cannot perform kido, nor does she want to learn it, as she feels it is a waste of time. She is naturally talented when it comes to attacking and even when her plans sound crazy, they usually work out.
The Shinigami Technicalities.
The Zanpakuto Name: Shirotaka (White Hawk)
The Sealed Zanpakuto: A typical katana, about 26 inches, with a hilt wrapped in white ribbon. The only notable marking on Shirotaka in sealed form is that she has a white feather on the blade just above the guard.
The Zanpakuto Spirit Appearance: Shirotaka, true to her name, is literally a gigantic white hawk. Though she may reduce her size to become that of a normal hawk, when full-size, she is over 10 ft. tall and has a wing span of around 30 ft. She has black eyes and a single black marking on her forehead in between her eyes in the shape of a diamond.
The Zanpakuto Spirit Personality: Calm and collected, quite the opposite of Marianne. She is full of pride, very mother-like in that she chastizes Marianne's rash thinking and is continuously providing wisdom. She is cryptic in her words, and while she is usually perched on Marianne's shoulder whenever Marianne is training and Shirotaka's form is visible, if she gets upset, this is when she expands to full size. She cares much for Marianne. Shirotaka has the voice of an older woman. Though reasonable and protective, Shirotaka can be quite ferocious as well when angered.
The Inner World: The inner world in which Shirotaka resides is an endless sky with a single, large tree in the middle which appears to have no bottom, only clouds. One branch of the tree extends towards the top, and this is where Shirotaka remains perched most of the time.
The Shikai Name: Shirotaka
The Method of Release: "Soar, Shirotaka."
Shikai Appearance: After Marianne gives the command, Shirotaka transforms from katana to shikai form by becoming enveloped in feathers. Once the feathers' spirit particles dissolve, Shirotaka's released form is revealed. Though it appears as a large curved blade, it can extend to up to six blades, almost like a shuriken blade.
(Similar to this:)
The blades are completely white, with a black diamond on the hilt.
The Abilities of the Shikai:
Death Talon: The ability of Shirotaka to extend to up to six-blades and then once an opponent is hooked, it can extend into them.
Piercing Wing: The user channels their spirit energy into Shirotaka to create an extension of spirit particles on the edge of the blade. This causes the appearance of a wing and can be used to cut through enemies.
Guillotine Beak: Each blade grows five times it's normal size, gaining the appearance of massive guillotines or large beaks, which are then used to bear down on an opponent. The more strength the user has, the more blades that are capable of being used. (Marianne can only control up to three in this state at this point and it takes up a lot of her energy).

The Historic Origin.
History:
Marianne does not remember her life before arriving in Soul Society. She obtained admittance into Shinigami Academy after being continuously found causing trouble in the Rukongai and beating up anyone who dared cross her path. She stole food in order to live and spent much time wandering. It wasn't until she was spotted fighting by some shinigami that she began honing her skills for the bettering of Soul Society, as they convinced her to attend the academy on the basis that she would become powerful there.
At the Academy, Marianne received nearly failing grades in kido, but excelled in the other three fighting-styles, zanjutsu (sword art), hakuda (hand-to-hand), and houhou (movement). The 11th Division saw her fit join them, and after graduation, she was immediately placed as the 6th seat. Over time, she has honed her abilities and succeeded in becoming lietenant of the squad. Now, Marianne is eager to show her skills in battle and become so powerful that she takes down every opponent emerging from the Gates of Hell.
The Others:
Rp Example:
It took all her strength to hold Aiden back amongst his fury. To her, the debate was simple. Well...maybe not completely simple, but simple enough to know that Aiden was not prepared for this encounter and neither was she, and though she would love nothing more than to put a bullet through Ariel's head and exorcise the hell out of her, it could not be done. Not here, not now. Aiden said nothing in response to her protests, but as his body grew less tense, she thought perhaps he was realizing that fighting Ariel would be completely stupid. As he turned around to head towards the car, Yuki was somewhat relieved. Good. He was listening.
But the relief was temporary. Three male bodies stood before them, presumably sided with the demons Ariel was now fighting. Ariel didn't seem like the type to send henchmen in this situation. Immediately, Yuki raised her gun at them, but as soon as she did, one demon made a motion with his hand and both her weapon and Aiden's were yanked out of their hands. A wave of anger followed suit. Stupid things, did they really think not having guns would stop them?
As Aiden lept to land a punch to one of the demons, Yuki darted for the car. Upon seeing their fellow demon fall to the ground, one man ran for Aiden and the other ran for her. Catching up to Yuki, his fist charged for her face, but she paused in her step suddenly and struck out her palm, catching his arm mid-punch and twisting it. "Bad idea," she snarled. Before he even had the chance to cry out in pain, she kept hold of his arm and grabbed his head with her other hand, twisting it until she heard a loud crack, then aimed a kick at his chest which knocked him to the floor. Mentally, she apologized to the host, but at least if the demon ever got out of him, the broken neck and possible broken back would heal.
She continued running towards the car, picking up her gun in the process. Despite it's beat-up state, she could hear the hum of the engine still functioning within the Camaro. Teagan was in there. They just had to get to that car and then they could make their escape.
From behind, she heard a grunt and the sound of footsteps charging towards her like a bull stomping towards a red flag. She didn't need to look to know that Demon #1 had gotten back up.
"Come on Yuki, show 'em who they're messing with. Japan's pride, right?" she heard Aiden's voice from a bit of distance, as he had gotten held up fighting the other demon. "Knock him out!"
She turned around, and the possessed man threw a sloppy punch at her. "I don't need you to tell me that!" she yelled back at Aiden. Yuki aimed a kick for the demon's shoulder, burying her boot into his skin, exerting intense pressure onto the area until he fell to the ground and she was stepping on him. The strike was quick, almost too fast for the eye to catch, and she hoped that the heel of her boot was digging into his flesh. As she had him pinned to the ground, she took out her gun and fired a shot at each of the demon's legs.
He cried out and she jabbed a spot in the demon's neck that would hopefully paralyze his body, if only momentarily. She wasn't sure if it would work, since he was a demon after all, but since he never got up, either he was in too much pain or her trick had worked.
Bolting for the car after cleaning up that mess, she reached the Camaro. Inside, Teagan was safe, but still unconscious. Yuki whipped around, facing the battle scene. In front of her, she saw Aiden a bit far off, and behind him, the fight between Ariel and the demons seemed to be drawing to a close. "Aiden, c'mon! Let's get out of here!" she yelled, motioning for him to hurry--because when that fight ended, she did not want to be around to face the victor.
Other Needed Info: I've been RPing for a while. I'm a stickler for grammar. I know my app is probably short, but if needed, I can write more, trust me.
