| ~~~Shinigami~~~ Name: Kamiko Kago Alias: Kamikonpeitou (A portmanteau of her name and a Japanese hard candy. Would roughly translate to Sweet Kamiko) Koakago (Koa means core. Konpeitou traditionally had a seed core and she's lost her sweet out going demeanor since the war as if she's been sucked to the core) Age:116 Visual Age: 13 Gender: Female Reiatsu Color: Purple Affiliation: The Gotei 13 Division: 7 Rank: Officer (Seventh Seat) --------------------Persona-------------------- Appearance: Standing at 4’8” and weighing 84 lbs, Kamiko‘s skinny frame certainly doesn’t make her very intimidating. Her pale skin gives a certain porcelain fragility to her appearance. Still, a telltale sign of her battle experience is the purple adhesive eye patch she started wearing after she lost her left eye in the Blue Moon War. This eye patch is in the shape of her division number and matches the color of her remaining eye. While it covers a scar of war, the choice to use a stylized adhesive patch also highlights the other reason it’s easy to underestimate her: her youth. While she’s older than most humans, her appearance and personality still resemble those of a young girl. The unrealistically large twin blonde ringlet pigtails that she styled her hair into and the purple bow that adorned the top of her head used to complete this image, but she removed both since the war leaving her hair cut short. Kamiko has made no alterations to her shihakusho other than the lieutenant’s badge she wears around her left arm. In gigai, she adorns herself in a purple flowery dress with matching boots, bow and armbands. She also wears two purple earrings and a purple choker in the shape of hearts. Personality: Kamiko has changed a lot over the years, from a bratty little girl to a pint sized bruiser and to a fish out of water and then a cheerful warrior. Since the Blue Moon War, her personality has taken another evolution. Since the death of her beloved captain, Kamiko can best be described as reserved, in direct contrast with her personality beforehand. Before, she would interact with random people and fight with a fervor, but she cannot escape a listlessness that has been born from despair. The life changing effect this one man’s death has had on her life can be attributed to her tendency of making incredibly close bonds with one person to the point of obsession. Though she has become much more reluctant to bond with people, this habit has not completely waned away. While she avoids socializing, if she is coaxed into a conversation her cheerful demeanor may return for a visit. Though she will fight fervently for someone she cares about, she normally doesn’t enjoy fighting. She has been particularly reluctant to fight since her injury in the war. Part of the reason she has adjusted this well so far is in part due to both the support of her old gang and her Zanpakuto spirit. While she sometimes finds the words of her Zanpakuto encouraging, at times she finds the spirit’s enthusiasm to be annoying. That said, Kamiko usually listens to her advice. Likes: Sweet things The number “7” The color purple Dislikes: Leaving the Seireitei Bitter, spicy or very sour foods Goals: To overcome the handicap of only one eye To find peace with the death of her captain Fears: Powerful fighters Darkness --------------------History-------------------- History:- Spoiler:
Approximately 100 years ago, a young girl had suddenly found herself in the streets of a new environment: The Soul Society. As she wandered through the streets of this wondrous place in amazement, she eventually found children around her age. They played together all day until it started to get dark. With no home and a fear of darkness, she begged them to let her come with them. It was that night that she became a member of the Kago family and was given the name Kamiko. Unfortunately, she had managed to alienate herself from the other children. Whenever a game didn’t go her way or her feelings were hurt, she would cry and the other children found her to be too fragile to hang around. Kamiko, unable to understand why she was being avoided, attempted to force them to be her friends. This had the opposite effect. All that she had accomplished was convincing the other children that she was annoying and a snitch and bringing herself more heartache. It was at this point that they began to actively victimize her. This ultimately led to Kamiko being abandoned in the dark one night. She had tried to chase after them, but they were too fast for her. Once she had come to the realization that she was alone in the dark with no way home, she had become paralyzed with fear and broken down in tears.
Then, she felt a hand on her shoulder, causing her to jump and shriek. This was Aki Iino. At first, he had attempted to force her to go home, but he had different plans for her once he had heard of the cruel trick that had been played on her. She had reminded him of himself before he had found his nerve. In response to this unexpected surge of warm feelings, he decided to recruit her into his gang. Of course, his gang was reluctant to hang out with a little girl at first, but they eventually warmed up to the idea once she demonstrated skills such as staying out of the way and alcohol fetching. Over time, they groomed her into a proper thug. However, tragedy had soon struck. On one dark night, she had noticed that Iino had left the gang complex in the middle of the night. Out of curiosity, she attempted to catch up to him. When she asked what he was doing, he revealed that he had left to seek out his own ambitions apart from the gang leader, Akio Fujimoto. Ambitions that would take him to the center of the land. Unfortunately, he would never see these ambitions grow to fruition. Surrounding him was the rest of the key players of their gang. They considered themselves a fraternity and any act of betrayal would be harshly punished. abandonment included. He tried to run, but he was caught by the very man he had tried to escape. As Fujimoto threw him to the ground and pressed his blade to his neck, Kamiko desperately ran towards the duo to save her closest friend, but was almost immediately plucked off of the ground. As blood stained Fujimoto’s katana and the ground below his victim, tears also stained the young girl’s cheeks. With the deed done, the merry group of men decided to go home for a good night’s sleep. The only one who stayed behind was Fujimoto. He consoled her and brought her home, but she never understood exactly why Iino had been murdered.
While Iino’s betrayal was unforgivable, his reasons for leaving were understandable. Compared to the 97th Rukon, the Seireitei sounded like the place of dreams. In only two years time, The group had decided to take their own trek to the Seireitei. After a great journey, they had finally reached their destination. While Kamiko’s physical skills were passable, her skill with her reiatsu was remarkable and she showed great potential for growth. In the end, only Kamiko graduated from the Academy on her first time. While she felt guilty for leaving behind the family she had grown up with, they were all surprisingly supportive of her. Still, she had been thrust into a crowd of powerful warriors and she felt slightly self conscious. She had almost no confidence in herself and it greatly affected her ability to perform on missions once she had been assigned to a division. It least, until she had a private lesson with Takehiko Matsuyama, the Captain of the Seventh Division. Seeing that she was struggling with her training, he took time out of his day to personally help her. Over the course of an hour, she had developed her first crush. She desperately wanted to know if he felt the same way, but she was simply too shy to even attempt to get any real answer. Still she enjoyed his company and she had a feeling that he did too. She would do whatever she could to get his attention or just brighten up his day. She even grew her hair out because he had suggested it. Additionally, the close relationship she had made with the Captain had also greatly improved her self confidence. She was cheerful with her fellow shinigami and fierce in battle. She feared nothing, confident her hero could save her from any danger. She had made it her goal to stay at his side as his lieutenant and it was during this period that she developed her developed her Shikai. Unfortunately, she never quite made it that far.
The Blue Moon War was devastating for her. She was one of the survivors as comrades and enemies fell all around her. Though her kido had helped her take down many enemies, she felt that her Zanpakutou had made all of the difference. Still, she did not come out of the battle unscathed. There was an enemy that she had reached a standstill with. By the end of the battle, she had lost an eye in revenge for the wound she had dealt her opponent. Then, the situation went from bad to worse. The next day, she would discover that her beloved captain was killed. This revelation hit her hard. The subsequent captain being killed and his lieutenant leaving the division paled in comparison. It was only the encouragement of her zanpakuto spirit that prompted her to return to duty. While she has become reacquainted with her gang from the Rukongai, she still hasn’t got over the death of her Captain and emotional crutch.

| Granted. 2200. I really like the two goals you have set here. Wondering how that missing eye, and the replacement for the 7th Division captain, will impact your character during RP. |
