## **Introduction**

Knave is a young girl from Zaraki. She was killed at the tender age of 12 in the human world by falling rocks. If you ask her she will tell you that a Kaiju who shoots nuclear beams from his mouth. Her death however was not important. What was important is her undeath. Knave was brought to the after life by a Shinigami and was placed in Zaraki. She spent the next ten years living in that hell hole. After seeing the dearth of a close friend Knave decided to become a Shinigami in order to become stronger. She wants to be the strongest thing around so she can go back to Zaraki, beat up all the bad guys, and adopt all the kids, and give them a happy life.

## **Appearance**

When not in school Knave wears a white shirt, black biker shorts, black knee high boots, a utility belt, and a headband that has the number 3 written on it. Her hair is green, and cut short. She is lanky rather than wide, and has very small breast due to underdevelopment in her previous life and slow aging now that she is dead.

At one point in the story it was revealed that Knave's memories and body was sealed by Kido. That seal was broken, and when that happened it revealed Knave's true appearance. She had a single horn, and rather muscular body from all of her years of training. Her hair was long, and she had a tan figure.

Not long after the reveal it became apparent that Knave was being hunted. Deciding to make it difficult for her enemies to find her Knave asked her classmate Hotaru to change her appearance. As a result Knave appearance changed for the second time. She is still the same height, but a bit wider and bit more voluptuous. She is just as strong and has muscles hidden under her Kimono. Knave also has pointed ears and long straight hair. She wears Kimono's now as a way to throw off anyone looking for her, and often tries to speak in a different way.

## **Personality**

Knave is , well dumb. She is not the smartest tool in the shed. She sees the world in a simple light. White and black, good or evil. She does not think about stuff for too long, and has trouble doing complex math or thinking problems. She likes to keep things simple.

Knave is also childishly selfish. She thinks of herself first , and everyone else second. She is kind enough to think about others, mainly children. However she will only do that after her own wants are solved first. Her dream of kidnapping all the children in Zaraki and letting them grow up happy is a good example of this. She does not think about how others would fell having their children taken away form them, nor does she care that some of the kids don't want to grow up around other people. All that matters is that she feels bad seeing dead children and children struggling. As a result she wants to put them all in her house so she won't feel bad anymore.

If Knave had any great sin, it would be gluttony. Knave loves to eat, she eats all the time. When she is not training she is eating. If she has nothing to eat she is looking for something to eat. Her stomach is the great ruler of her being. It makes all the decisions in life. The reason Knave is like this is due to her upbringing in the human world. When she was alive she was poor, dirty poor. She could barely eat at all. One the reasons she is underdeveloped is because her body mass never reached the necessary number for her to undergo full puberty. Malnutrition and a lack of calories paid it's toll. Due to that whenever Knave gets a chance to eat she throws down.

* ***Great Agility***
* ***Great Flexibility***
* **Great Spiritual Pressure**

### ***Skill***

Angel Shot Style - A Style of Martial Arts that was developed by her Spiritual Grandmother. She was a old women who lived in Zaraki, who took care of her after she arrived. Her Grandmother taught her how to fight wither her legs. To spin kick, jump kick, block with her feet, and even how to dance.

Knave has gained a level of swordsmanship and martial prowess by fighting her inner self in her inner world. Because of this Knave has become a drastically better swordswomen. Now she fights more with her blade than she does with her kicks. However she still brings her martial arts into play when it is needed.

### **Shinnoden**

Knave is able to use Shinnoden up to Stage 1 and Stage 2 perfectly and indefinitely. Additionally after having absorbed a Selbulrose Petal Knave has become permanently transformed into Stage 3.

### **Zanjutsu**

* **Yureru** (*揺れる, Sway*) - An advanced technique where a shinigami will perform **Mune** and **Ha** in quick succession in a single strike, due to the order of the technique this will provide the benefit of both techniques by speeding up the strike with **Mune** and granting it increased sharpness and power with **Ha** at the moment of impact.
* **Kyoshin** (*共振, Resonance*) - Less of a technique and more of a phenomenon, Kyosin is what occurs when a zanpakuto and a shinigami's **Kosoku Ha** (*Restrained Edge*) align with absolute perfection, when this event occurs *constructive resonance* will occur on both reiatsus causing them to both multiply in effectiveness, if used on a perfect sword swing that uses the entire body this technique can generate tremendous destructive power comparable even to weak bankais.
* **Raijino Jōtai-Ryu** (雷神の状態流; Thunder God's Sword Art) - A special evolution of zanjutsu usable by Knave where she exploits the properties of her electrical reiatsu to propel her blade faster and more powerfully than regular zanjutsu by bouncing it off similarly negative charged objects such as her sheathe for Battojutsu or her barriers for more freeform attacks.

### **Hoho**

* **Shunpo** (瞬歩, Flash Step) - Knave is able to use Shunpo to a masterful degree.
* **Lighting Transport** - It is a special technique that Knave developed while under Hayanari combining Kido with Hoho principles which allows her to turn herself into lighting to move even faster than her physical body could. Using this ability Knave is able to move through any conductive medium as she literally becomes a mass of electrons in this state. This is knave's preferred method of aerial and long distance movement but is versatile enough that it can be used in combat just as well.
* **Lighting Replace** - Knave's version of **Utsusemi** (*空蝉, Cast-Off Cicada Shell*) but instead of infusing normal reiatsu into her clone she instead infuses lightning based reiatsu allowing for the clones to electrocute those that come in contact with them instead of dissipating harmlessly.

### **Hakuda**

* **Chushin** (中心 Center/Focus) - By focusing on their reiryoku and properly infusing it into the whole body the user is able to increase their physical power all around.
	+ **Kanjiru** (感じる, Feel/Sense) - A basic shinigami technique where a shinigami will focus and enhance their spiritual senses to detect their reiryoku, and thus with practice, the reiryoku of others.
	+ **Henshin** (変身, Transformation) - By more precisely applying their reiryoku into their body a user of Henshin is able to define the kind of statistical benefit they gain from their reiryoku allowing one to become increasingly faster, tougher or stronger with equal tradeoffs to other "stats", doing this is known as creating a stance and is the mark of an expert Hakuda user.
	+ **Shun** (*瞬, Blink*) - An Hakuda technique where one increases the effectiveness of a stance for a few moments, similar to sprinting as opposed to jogging.
		- **Ihyo** (*意表, Surprise/Something Unexpected*) - An advanced technique of Hakuda where the user will utilize **Shun** while utilizing Chushin or Henshin, but cause both increases to be different in nature, generating a movement or technique which is completely unexpected.
* **Norou** (*呪う, Curse/Hex*) - An advanced technique of Hakuda where upon the user will abuse one's physical contact with the opponent to resonate their own reiryoku with the opponent's body and thus endow a change in statistical prowess in a negative manner unto the opponent. Effectively Norou is a technique that weakens the opponent by exploiting the reiryoku interaction and physical contact with an opponent.
	+ **Lightning Norou** - Knave is able to infuse her reiryoku into her lightning based kido to inflict Norou on her opponents making them vulnerable to her lightning.
* **Itotiliztli** (Nahuatl For: Dance) - A special battle technique of the south which involves resonating with the enemy to gain an advantage over them, when done properly and at high enough level it can allow one to become immune to techniques which the opponent are immune to and completely overcome their defenses.

### **Kido list**

The following are a list of standard Kido Knave knows how to cast.

* **Hadō #4. Byakurai** (白雷**,** Pale Lightning) - A kido spell which shoots out a single bolt of lightning in a straight line.
	+ **Proton Byakurai** - A advance version that shoots protons instead of electrons.
* **Bakudō #4. Hainawa** (這縄, Crawling Rope)- Kido spell number 4 - Binds enemy with a rope of reiatsu.
* **Hadō #11. Tsuzuri Raiden** (綴雷電, Bound Lightning) - A kido spell which generates a large amount of electricity and imbues it within a weapon the user is touching. Knave can use a variation which imbues it into her own body for a variety of purposes.
	+ **Advanced Lighting Armor** - A more advanced version of Tsuzuri Raiden where knave will imbue it into herself but keep it under her skin making it not obvious and providing a boost to her reflexes. Whenever knave strikes an opponent she is able to channel some of this lightning into her strikes with her body or her blade.
* **Bakudō #21. Sekienton** (赤煙遁, Red Smoke Escape) - A kido spell which created a cloud of red smoke.
* **Bakudō #29. Seikinu** (精絹, Spirit Silk) - A kido which creates links for thoughts to be relayed through.
* **Hadō #44. Byakubanrai** (白万雷, Pale Multi-Lightning) - The user points at a spot causing a multiple bolts of lightning to come down from the sky and strike in that general area.
* **Hadō #41. Raitō** (雷刀, Lighting Blade) - Creates a blade of Lighting. The edge is moving electrons that cut into a target at the electron level. Upcast the edge moves faster than the speed of light allowing it to cut/saw thought almost any target.
* **Hadō #63. Raikōhō** (雷吼炮, Thunder Roar Sear) - Generating an orb of yellow lightning above the palm of his/her hand, the practitioner fires the built-up energy at his/her target as a massive concentration of energy which resembles a lightning strike.
* **Kaidō #80 Ten no shukufuku** (天の祝福, Heavenly Blessing) - This is a Kaido spell developed by Knave during the seven years she was training. It requires the user to be able to perform Shinnoden and Raijino Jotai to do. It requires the user to empower themselves by resonating with their environment. It then converts their Reimyoku into Tenreimyaku, and that Tenreimyaku into Kaido healing energy to heal targets. Knave puts her hands together as if she was preying and chants the words. "Heaven above, grant us this blessing, and bestow unto us divine light." With the chant cast all of her allies are fully healed.
* **Hadō #89 Seijinobyaku-Banrai** (聖神の白万雷; Holy God's Pale Multi-Lightning) - This Kido generates a gigantic ball of lightning in the sky, a "star of storms" which can then be used to call down massive bolts of lightning that when they strike the ground they continue travelling through it and everything in contact with it electrifying and melting specific targets as it travels. It is an almost perfect area of effect technique which can bypass cover and affect both ground and air targets.

#### **Special & Custom Kido**

Powerful Kido taught to Knave by Hayanari:

* **Raijino Jōtai** (雷神の状態; Thunder God's State) - A kidō which converts Knave's reiryoku into reimyaku, allowing Knave to empower herself via resonance with your environment and to exert a "reiatsu" which behaves like *True Lightning* and thus able to overcome any and all resistances to electricity as well as being many times stronger. By using Shinnoden with the Raijino Jotai Knave and converting the Reimyaku into Tenreimyaku she is able to empower her lightning even further now having an advantage over the non-divine on top of dealing irreducible damage.

The following are Kido created by Knave:

* **Mienai Shōmei** (見えない照明, unseen lighting) - Shoots a powerful bolt of lightning which is invisible to the eye. The real strength of the spell is that it can be used in combination with other lightning based spells to render it invisible.
* **Byakurai Haijawa** - A spell combination that mixes Haijawa with Byakurai generating a tangible rope capable of simultaneously binding and electrocuting an opponent.
* **Lighting Web** - A spell combination that mixes Haijawa with Tsuzuri Raiden to create a net of permeable lighting and radiates out from Knave in multiple directions. Those who get hit are stuck in it and are electrocuted.
* **Raiun** (雷雲; Thunder Cloud) - A combination of **Tsuzuri Raiden** and **Sekienton** which creates a thunder cloud that Knave can ride on or carry others with.
* **Taikono Hayanari** (太鼓の逸勢, Hayanari’s Drums) - A spell made using the insane combination of **Tsuzuri Raiden**, **Sekienton**, **Raitō**, **Raikōhō** and **Raijino Jōtai**. The resulting spell generates a pitch black thunder cloud capable of ripping the electrons out of any reishi it comes in contact with it, gather it inside the cloud, and strengthen it further for Knave to use later. Using this one Kido Knave is able to crowd control a large area and keep the opponent out of it or risk getting electrified, disintregated and strengthening knave all at once.
* **Vanishing Bolt** - A spell which shoots out 3 lightning bolts which when they strike something charge them and simultaneously strip people of their electrons causing an explosions from the instability.
* **Electrokinesis** - Knave can send out Electrons from herself to interact with the environment around her. She can use these electrons to detect movement, the placement of objects, and to detect hidden things by electrons bouncing off them.
* **Electro Jack** - Electro Jack is a kido made by Knave which creates a line of reishi electricity between her and a target and only those connected to that flow can listen in due to being a physical reishi based link rather than a reiatsu based one. Even if they connect with a current they can't listen in without knave detecting it, and by using Shinnoden Knave can make it impossible for the non divine to connect regardless.
* **Raijin no ikari (雷神の怒り,Thunder God's Wrath)** - A custom spell created from a combination of Hadō #63. Raikōhō (雷吼炮, Thunder Roar Sear), Hadō #4. Byakurai (白雷, Pale Lightning), and Norou (呪う, Curse/Hex). The new spell hits the target with extraordinary force capable of vaporizing a target down to their electrons. When the electrons run thought the target it also makes them weaker to electrons empowering it deadly effect even more.

## **Zanpakutō**

ShikaiBankai
**Chikyū no Hakuryū** (地球の白龍, White Earthly Dragon) is the name of Knave's Zanpakuto. Contrary to popular belief despite it being an **Ōdachi** (大太刀, Great Japanese Sword) in its default state and the personality of its wielder Chikyū no Hakuryū is in fact not a melee-type but is in fact a Kido-type Zanpakuto and furthermore it is also a Summon-type.

### ***Shikai***

Released by the command **Mamoru** (守る, protect) it does not modify the blade in any way instead what it does is to summon a creature referred informally to as **Chikyū** by Knave.

**Shikai Special Ability**: Chikyu is a large creature about the size of a car with a large central eye and many much smaller eyes along various stalks. Despite its goofy appearance Chikyu is a tremendously smart entity with a brain and a kido organ imbued into each of its eyes allowing it to both strategize, cast kido and modify said kido effortlessly. Chikyu's prowess with kido is augmented by the fact that it by default knows how to perform Bakudo to make Barriers and Kaido to Heal from afar by default, on top of that it can make use of any kido that Knave learns as well. In fact this connection with Knave seems to extend to not just the sharing of kido knowledge but can be used to share any and all mental processes, such as senses, recognition, memories, experience and computation. By making use of this link Chikyu and Knave are able to learn and use each other's technique and assist each other in using them.
**Shikai Techniques**: Like most shikai Chikyu is able to create techniques with their wirlder to increase the effectiveness of their user's other methods of combat and overall fighting ability.
* **Todomeki** - Todomeki is a technique Chikyu developed after returning to Knave. Taking the principles from The Dance, or Itotiliztli,  it can use it's eyes it can read her opponents flow of their reiryoku. It can then alter it's own flow, and Knaves flow to match the opponents.
* **Tsuchigumo** - Tsuchigumo is a technique that works with Knave's lighting web. Chikyu empowers the web by turning it's shape into barriers. This makes them difficult to break out of.
* **Genbu** - A Technique where Chikyu covers the none moving parts of Knave or himself body with barriers.. This form was created after Chikyu studied Knights in Knave's inner world. After studying their armor, he copied the shape with his barriers. It restricts movement, not as much as you think, but it hypes up her defense.

**Improper Release Command**: Knave is known to sometimes release Chikyu no Hakuryu with the wrong release command to gain an advantage which her standard shikai is typically unable to provide. Notably unlike most zanpakuto Knave is able to achieve different kinds of releases with wrong commands based on how close the spirit of the command is to the actual proper command.
* **Attack**: The most detested command to Chikyu, it causes numerous of chikyu's eyes to appear all along Knave's body and then begin to cast forbidden kido by using Knave's reiryoku and reishi as fuel for the spells. The eyes do not obey Knave and seem to be able to even seize control of Knave's body if she does not counteract them.
* **Assist**: The most similar wrong release to the proper release command, it summons only the eyes like the command **Attack** but unlike Attack Knave is able to control the number of eyes summoned and the intensity of the drain these eyes impart on her when casting Kido, furthermore she suffers little to no risk of losing control of her body.

### ***Bankai***

**Zen Zen Chikyū no Hakuryū** (全然地球の白龍, All Encompassing Alabaster Dragon Under The Heavens) is the true name of Knave's Zanpakuto and thus the name of its Bankai. When fully released Knave's sword does not change instead like with shikai the transformation is exclusively applied to Chikyū itself.

**Bankai Effect**: The bankai has all the powers of the shikai, more abilities and a tremendous buff applied to its body. The buff in question being that it becomes a massive dragon at least 6 stories high and oozing with physical power on top of its kido abilities. Since Chikyu still retains the link with Knave in this state Chikyu is able to use any and all abilities Knave can, provided there are no specific restrictions or requirements to using them. The most advantageous buff that the Bankai gains however is the ability to create Negacion fields which can be shaped into shields, barriers, restraints and other miscellaneous constructs or simply to take someone out of a fight by encasing them within a negacion.
**False Bankai**: Zen Ha Chikyū no Hakuryu is the False Bankai when this is activated Knave's body becomes the inner world Chikyu no Hakuryu. Her Zanpakuto spirits takes over, and controls the body. It breaks down her body to cast Kido, but it can fight like she does. The advantage of this form is that he can instantly cast Kido, and is not as big. The Bankai is three times tougher than Knave.
## **Backstory**

hen Knave's mother, Sakura Ashikaga got pregnant with Knave she was investigating the stream of murders, and came to the realization that the people who were being murdered were all children of Ranma.

After she discovered this she was confronted by Kiyotaka who then cut her down.

Refusing to die she used a experemental item, a project created by the 6th squad. It was crafted as a means of studying Hollow's abilities to pass between world. A result of their study of hollows in the hollow zoo. She had the item from the last time she visted because the item in itself was unusual. It was not apart of the sixth squads normal research, nor their written guides on what they were doing. Unkown to her this was the project of Raijin, who was doing his own research behind everyones back. Knowing of the item, and what it could do she used it to teleport away. She had no idea it would take her to Hecho Mundo

Wounded and near death she almost died to hollows till Rasgadura saved her.

Begging Rasgadura to save her child her mother convinced him to do so as watching a artifically planted soul would be entertaining. He then take Knave's sould and stuff it into the body of a stil boarn baby, and thus gave it life. This is how Knave got her green hair.

Knave grew up like a normal human, but every now and then Rasgadurak, and her mother came and visited. Rasgadurak came to watch her tv, and her mother to see her. Knave and her mother use to talk and play when she visted. This made her the weird creepy child who could see thingst that don't exist and had strange things happen around her.

Life continued like this for a time till one day when Knave's mother came to vist she was attacked by Genesis, King of the Adjuntus. Genesis was hunting down Rasgadura in hopes of killing him, and becoming the True King of The Hollows. Smelling Rasgadurak on Knave's mother she attacked. The two did battle atop mountain. In the fight Genesis blasted a chunk of the mountain off that crumbled down and killed Knave. Distracted her mother took a fatal blow from Genesis. Rasgadura arrived and defeated Genesis, but the beast was not slain. However he infected her with Shinigami powers, causing her to become a Arrancar and sealing away most of her power behind Resurection, and making her loss her glorious size.

Wonded on the verge of death Knave's mother still wanted to protect her child. Using her Shiki she suppressed Knave's memories, and with her visor powers she altered her appearance of her soul. She then sent Knave onto soul society. Fearing that she would be killed by the Kuchiki Clan she made sure that Knave was sent to one of the outer districts. Running out of time she was only able to send a single message before she died.

Alone with memory loss Knave wondered soul society. Almost everything about her previous life was erased. Her Mother, the Skull Knight, and her every memory associated with them. When she came to soul society she was suppose to be greeted by Lady Chi, who wad her Mother's mother. However the transfere went wrong. Instead she ended up alone in a the 41 diestrict. There Knave wondered around, trying to figure out who she was. She had her famous meeting with a fat man, where she got her name Knave.

She meet Ryuunosuke, who she did not know was her half brother, and the two ran the steets together for a time. Slowly Knave started to piece togehter bits of her memory. Small stuff that did not have anything to do with her mother. However that life came to a end when Zaraki Honzo killed Ryunosuke for being one of Ranma's brats. Lady Chi, who had been investigating the murders on her own after her daughter's disaperance and a sudden message from her had been following Honzo's path. It was then that she found Kave and realized who she was. Taking Knave in she let her keep the name for her own safty.

Years later however she ran into Honzo again. Filed with anger and grief about her daughter and Knave she attacked Honzo. The old lady was a brilliant fighter, but Honzo's youth and skill won the day. She was cut down and left to die. Knave eventually found her bleeding out, but failed to save her. Seeking vengence Knave hunted down Honzo herself, and attempted to defeat her. However she was a little girl, and Honzo a skilled warrior. She stood no chance as was easily cut down. She would ahve died but Koharu stepped in. Koharu was in Zaraki killing a hollow that had fled the area, it was pure lock.

Not wanted to fight a Vice Captain Honzo retreated, and Knave was saved. The two had their legendary conversation about how she got strong. Knave then decided she was going to get stronger and decided to becomea shinigami to do so. Years later she joined the Academy.
