### Reiatsu Color

Green turquoise

Ayana is very classic. She has reddish brown hair that come under the chest, beautiful khaki green eyes and freckles. She has also a scar on her left eye, which goes from her nose to her eyebrow. In the Soul Society's Arc (and it's her general appearence), one part of her hair is raised in a bun while the other is released and she always has two strands falling to her shoulders. Since she was in the 9th Division, she wears a kosode without sleeves that has a slit that goes up to the thigh. With this, she has a turquoise wool jacket, an unstructured blue belt with small chains that hang and a bandage in her left hand. She often wears slippers : she puts her waraji (Soul Reaper's sandals) only during important events or missions.

During Arrancar's Arc, she decides to reattach her hair in a ponytail, braids her strands and attaches her front strand with barrettes so that they don’t bother her anymore. She keeps this haircut until the end of the Fullbring's Arc. After this time, in TYBW's Arc, she keeps her very long hair : she attaches them on a big bun and detaches her front strand.

She doesn't have a large chest and she's not very special, but she loves herself as she is. She knows what she’s worth and makes it a force.

## Personality (in development)

Ayana is a hard-to-understand person. By meeting new people, she's very sociable. She’s benevolent, funny and has always a joke that makes nobody laugh. Even if she's very sociable, she doesn't have many friends in her division, just her captain, Rukia Kuchiki (when she works, she can be very serious and does her job properly).

But one of her biggest flaws is that she gets easily angry and responds quickly to provocation. She always returns what we give her, whether it’s physically or mentally. She can be very aggressive if she doesn't feel respected or if someone/something doesn't please her. It’s the origin of her first name, which means "wild beauty".

Ayana is someone who is very headstrong. When she has an idea, she doesn’t give up and goes to the end of her reasoning. For example, if she decides to help someone but doesn't have the permission, she'll still do it.

## History

**Origins :** The Furokuse family (Ryosei Furokuse, Kayami Furokuse and Yume Furokuse) died because of an earthquake and they arrived in Soul Society. They settled down and a decade after their arrival, a little girl came to disrupt their daily lives. Ayana was born in the 34th District (野生丘, *Yaseioka, Wild Hill*) in the South of the Rukongai.

During her childhood, she had many confrontations with her eldest sister, Yume Furokuse. Yume was afraid that her parents prefer Ayana and reject her. In top of that, she didn't want to be here because she didn't accept her death, that of her parents and she even less wanted her sister to be born in a world of souls. But with the time, Yume has changed and stopped to be angry with Ayana. She was very quiet and left the house very often to walk while Ayana discover her spiritual pression.

One day, Yume had returned from one of her usual walks but she had a different attitude from usually. The family Furokuse began dining and Ayana (who was approximately a teenager) started to thought and spoke about her enter at the Shin'o Academy. Ayana’s parents were very happy but Yume remained silent. She got up from the table and left the house without her little sister and her parents understanding anything. Ayana, who found it very strange, decided to follow her older sister while masking as she could her spiritual pressure for not to be spotted. She followed her sister to a house that seemed uninhabited. And there, she saw something that Yume had totally hidden from her family : she was feeding a baby that seemed to be hers. Ayana asked her for explanations and Yume revealed to her it wasn't wanted and that the father of this child was a shinigami. Yume asked her sister not to judge her situation. She was ashamed. But Ayana decided to take matters into her own hands and help her. The 2 sisters returned home with the baby and explained the story to their parents, who were very happy to have a grandson.

Yume later explained to her sister that she would like to find the father of her child. This is how Ayana swore to find this shinigami, for her sister and for her nephew.

A few days after this discovery, Ayana passed the entrance tests for the Shin'ō Academy and passed.
