Family:
Ice

Manifestation-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inner World:  
Sode no Shirayuki's inner world is what you were to aspect of one of the most beautiful swords of the soul society.  It consists of a large never ending cherry blossom grove that is delicately decorated with a light dusting of snow.  The snow reflecting a bright white from which under the blossoming full moon that was ever floating above.

Appearance:  
Sode no Shirayuki's manifested spirit takes the form of a pale-skinned young woman with icy blue eyes. She has long, pale lavender hair, which is partially tied up in the back in a long bun and falls behind her shoulders while a strand falls between her eyes, and is parted on the left side of her head by a blue, star-shaped hair clip. She wears a white kimono with large sleeves and a long hem, and has a pale yellow-green obi wrapped around her waist which is attached to a large, pale purple bow on her back.

Sealed State--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Appearance:  In its sealed form, Sode no Shirayuki is a normal katana. It has a rectangular tsuba with a vaguely flame-like pattern on the long sides and a curved line on the short sides, inward-curved corners with curved slits above and below the blade, and a series of curved lines embossed on either side of the blade. It has a reddish-brown hilt.

Type: Katana

Shikai-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


release phrase:
"Dance" (舞え, mae)

Appearance:  
Kazou holds his Zanpakutō out in front of him and turns it in a circle counter-clockwise. While he is turning it, the blade, hilt, and tsuba turn completely white. The tsuba becomes a hollow snowflake-like circle, and a white ribbon forms from the pommel. Sode no Shirayuki is regarded as one of the most beautiful Zanpakutō in Soul Society. The transformation is accompanied by a rush of cold air in all directions.

Ability:  
Sode no Shirayuki is an ice-type Zanpakutō. Sode no Shirayuki possesses multiple techniques, labeled as "dances" by Kazou. Besides ice techniques, Sode no Shirayuki's general ability is freezing. Sode no Shirayuki can freeze a target from a distance, or used in a different manner, create a path or platform of ice in midair. Kazou can freeze even the Reishi-created Spirit Weapon of a Quincy, causing it to shatter. Sode no Shirayuki does not actually spread coldness from its blade; its actual ability is to bring the body temperature of its wielder to a temperature below freezing. As a result, anything its wielder touches freezes, the sword itself merely increasing their reach. Due to this power, Kazou is capable of momentarily "killing" his body by controlling his own Reishi, putting himself in a form of cryostasis. He completely stops all the molecules in his body, preventing any material or substance attempting to affect him from doing so because it cannot enter his body. However, if someone uses an optical attack on him, it will affect him because his nerves are still working. Kazou can lower his body temperature to a point at which the ground below his feet freezes instantly, causing ice quakes, and can even reduce his temperature to absolute zero, though he can only safely maintain this temperature for no more than one post. However, when raising the temperature from absolute zero, Kazou has to do so slowly or risk harming his own body.

Name:
Some no mai, Tsukishiro (初の舞・月白, First Dance, White Moon)
Description:

Spoiler:

Kazou calls out the name of the dance while holding his Zanpakutō upside down. The blade glows, and he makes a slashing motion when his target is in position. When he does this, he draws a circle with the tip of Sode no Shirayuki. The space within that circle and anything inside freezes. The circle not only freezes the ground, but everything within the circle's influence, including anything above it in the air, creating an extending pillar of light which freezes all within the circle. Shortly after being frozen, the victim shatters along with the ice. The ice pillar will not shatter if the victim is not caught within it.

Name:
Some no mai, Tsukishiro X(初の舞・月白, First Dance, White Moon X)
Description:

Spoiler:

Kazou slashes at his opponent, causing an icy circle to form beneath them before encasing them in a huge pillar of ice, which proceeds to shatter alongside the enemy caught within it. Kazou notes his use of this technique is much more advanced than what normally is; instead of limiting the range of the technique to the area within the slash of his sword, Kazou can target enemies from a considerable distance away. Kazou can also have the icy circle form on walls behind enemies for a surprise attack.

Since this techinque is far more advanced then his normal one the power of this technique is 25% weaker then his other.

Name:
Tsugi no mai, Hakuren (次の舞・白漣, Next Dance, White Ripple)
Description:

Spoiler:

Kazou, calling out the name of the dance, punctures the ground once, creating a large ice circle, similar to the first dance. He punctures the ground in front of him four times in a semi circle. As ice particles begin to flow up from the punctures he made in the ground, he takes a battle stance. The particles, building up at the tip of Sode no Shirayuki, are released as a large, powerful avalanche of cold air. It flash freezes whatever it comes into contact with, encasing it in ice.

Name:
Icy Wind
Description:

Spoiler:

Kazou can generate an icy wind by blowing cold air through his cupped hand. While usually used to distract an opponent, this attack is potent enough to freeze several unseated Shinigami solid where they stand and send a captain-level combatant flying away. Kazou can also generate several blades of icy wind in his hand and throw them at his opponent, encasing whatever they hit in ice. He can protect himself from outside attacks by generating a large orb of icy wind around himself. He can also use this technique to deflect attacks, and can generate it from his hand if necessary.

Description:
Kazou Ultimate Shikai technique, Kazou slashes at his opponent, causing an icy circle to form beneath them before encasing them in a huge pillar of ice, which proceeds to shatter alongside the enemy caught within it. Kazou notes his use of this technique is much far more advanced than what normally is; instead of limiting the range of the technique to the area within the slash of his sword, Kazou can target enemies from a considerable distance away. Kazou can also have the icy circle form on walls behind enemies for a surprise attack.

Instead of only being able to create only one pillar of ice he can produce 3 each weaker then the last in power.  The first is 25% weaker then his normal Some no mai, Tsukishiro the second is 35% weaker then the final one is 50% weaker then his orginal Some no mai, Tsukishiro.

This takes alot out of Kazou and while he regains his strength he cannot preform and Some no mai, Tsukishiro based techniques.

Bankai-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name:
Hakka no Togame (白霞罸, Censure of the White Haze)

Appearance:  

Spoiler:

Kazou's Bankai changes both his physical look and the clothing he is wearing dramatically. Kazou wears a white, ankle-length kimono with lined patterns. The robe has an attached ornate collar, edges, and shoulder design with long, wide sleeves. There are long, flowing ribbons tied at his back that form numerous large loops. He has a small ice flower formation at the center of his chest, and a half crown of ice which extends around the back of his head. Kazou's hair becomes white, and his blade becomes ice.

Character Change:  
Read above.

Ability:  
Hakka no Togame increases the area of influence of Kazou's ability to reach the temperature of absolute zero. Upon release, a pillar of cold mist rises up into the air from where Kazou is and covers a wide area in his vicinity. Anything within the area of influence of the mist is frozen. Once frozen solid, victims crumble away within seconds. The mist continuously spreads around Kazou's area of influence freezing anything it touches. Physical contact with Kazou himself causes other people to begin freezing solid because of how cold he is. While it is a powerful Bankai, it is also a difficult one, as the slightest mistake could kill Kazou. Because Kazou is physically affected along with everything else in his vicinity, the amount of time he can use his Bankai appears severely limited, as prolonged use can potentially cause him damage, so he is required to melt slowly when leaving this state, otherwise he would risk damaging himself.

Distance of Mist : 30 feet in all directions
Duration of Bankai 7 posts.

Name:
Shikō Tsugi no mai, Hakuren (至高次の舞・白漣, Supreme Next Dance, White Ripple)
Description:
Very similar to Tsugi no mai, Hakuren, Shikō Tsugi no mai, Hakuren is the superior variation of the original technique that can only be preformed in Bankai and can only be preformed once while in Bankai.  Similar to the original Kazou stabs the ground with his sword but unlike the original he only needs to do it once instead of four times.  From the spot he stabbed bright white ice particles start leaking upwards.  Then all around the area that was frozen due to the release of his bankai more sections start leaking ice particles upwards looking as if he stabbed the ground twenty times but actually only stabbing once and never moving a inch.

The ice particles gather at the tip of his sword as he goes into a battle stance once stating the name of the technique the particles explode out of the tip of his blade into whatever direction his blade was pointing at this technique is three times stronger then the original.

Name:
Shiroi tsuki ga kagayaku (白い月が輝く glittering white moon)
Description:
Very much like the previous technique Icy Wind Kazou cups his hand and starts to from a ball of white light the white light in itself is concentrated icy wind compressed into a smaller form after building it up for one post the ball can be released.  When released it almost takes the form of a bala till it hits something.

Once making contact with a object it implodes then expands outwards it as sphere with a diameter of three meters.  The sphere itself is pure white this due to how fast the winds in the sphere are spinning the winds themselves are not as cold as that of Kazou so the target won't freeze instantly but the winds in the sphere are so fast and cold it is as if being continuously cut over and over again.

The real advantage to this technique is that the sphere can travel outside of Kazou's area of control and almost make a replicate somewhere is.

Name:
Mangetsu dansu (満月ダンス Full Moon Dance)
Description:
The main technique of Hakka no Togame, Kazou undoes the long ribbon that is bestowed upon his back linking his spirit energy with it he is willing to let it go and make to go to where ever he wants kinda like a puppet.

The ribbon targets opponents in a way like a homing missile.  Once making contact it starts turning the initial spot it touch into ice then the ribbon starts wrapping around the opponent until its fully wrapped around then at this point it starts to fully freezes the opponent into a solid piece of ice.  Once ice the opponent drops down from where ever they are once touching the ground no matter if they are a inch above the ground or 10 feet once they touch the ground they will shatter.

Slashing at the ribbon might be the best option but this has risks for the opponent yes once slashing it, it will stop tracing you like a missile but at the same time it can still freeze you.  Cutting it with a blade will then make start to make the blade itself freeze since it touched which in turn could shatter the blade itself.
