Ariugrette stands at a rather diminishing 5'3", small by all accounts and fairly slim. Almost perpetually finding herself wearing large, baggy, ill-fitting clothing, the young woman paints a somewhat unhealthy picture to most at first glance. Eyes that are as bland and pasty as her skin with a burn that spirals her entire body as if someone had do draw the world's largest silly straw with a branding iron. Her hair is typically rather ruffled and unkempt most of the time, care typically consisting primarily of a lazy ruffling it almost always is in a state of wildness that draws the eye and makes all the rest of her look even more......ruffled.
Physiologically, the woman is relatively skinny, and while she holds generally non-sexually dimorphic characteristics, she does have a somewhat developed body, though this is largely undone by her choice in attire and as such results in a rather frequent situation in which she is confused for a male or simply receives no designation either way. This is only exacerbated by the fact that Ariu typically offers no sort of gender identity in her choice of clothing, wearing unisex outfits or simply baggy outfits that make her look more like a Jawa than a human being.
PERSONALITY
As a result of her time in the Asylum, Ariugrette has developed quite a….colorfull personality. From her psychological assessments she was deemed slightly psychotic in human terms, but within acceptable ranges for function among society. In general she is quite pleasant, being kind, sweet, and generally likable. Having a compulsive need to assist and understand others, she is usually unable to see the bad in someone unless directly confronted with it. When confronted with danger to her friends or herself her psychological state changes rapidly. Originally, it was deduced that she had a sort of personality disorder, however in later questioning she remembered everything that had occurred in these episodes of radical personality shift and even gave rational explanations as to her actions, thus showing a lack of actual dissociation with these emotions and resulting in a diagnosis of 'Possible Bipolarity or Manic Euphoria'.
As for General Presentation, Ariugrette simply....always shows up with a smile. There is something insanely happy about her most of the time and even in times of her sudden and acute episodes of violence she tends t o continue smiling and laughing as she performs these aggressive acts. Always on the look-out for friends, it is entirely possible for people to find her immediately beelining for them the moment she sees that they've noticed her. This does not seem to be particularly racially-defined and hollows are really the only individuals she will not willingly approach on sight, but even these creatures are met cordially and in that same incessantly friendly manner.
Likes and dislikes are actually somewhat hard to define as she will often shift these preferences around others constantly, and repeatedly will expose herself to things that she is unfond of in favor of furthering her relationship with others. However, if enough time is spent with her, one can derive at the very least the following:
Likes:
- Loud Music: Typically this can be confused for a like to speak loudly (as generally speaking she can be a bit loud when addressing others, usually as a result of her excitement), however this is especially prominent when singing and often times she has the music turned up loud so that she can hear it over her own voice.
-Taller people: Again hard to discern given that she is often the shortest person in a room, though in the presence of shorter adults and even some children she will instinctively gravitate to the tallest person in the room and may even initiate physical contact. This touching has been documented extensively by her psychiatrist and has been attributed to the fact that she feels safer around other individuals, especially taller ones, and that the physical contact is a means of self-assurance as to the person's continued presence.
-Smiling: If there is one thing this woman can do, it's smile. Rain or shine she can most frequently be seen beaming with enough intensity that one might wonder if she could melt your face off with that insane level of happiness.
Dislikes:
-Little Ones: Strangely this is largely focused on actual infants as opposed to small children (whom she seems fairly fond of most of the time) and she will actively avoid babies if she can so help it. The most notable instance of this was an incident involving 2-year old in an elevator, in which she repeatedly tried to prematurely stop the elevator so that she could get away from it.
-Oranges: The exact reason why is rather obscured and varies wildly when she is confronted about it, all that is known is that she dislikes them, not why.
-Gender Mistake: This is somewhat hard to notice, but her mood can shift if this is repeatedly done.
-Sentient opponents: while capable of handling rabble hollows, Ari often has difficulty with sentient opponents, largely when it comes to leaving her comfort zone o' smiles. Happy is where she's comfortable, as such when she is put under pressure she is prone to crack.
HISTORY
Being from a family of 'pure' quincy had it's perks, but so far as her bloodline went, things weren't as....nifty as expected. Pureblood or not, her family had an extensive history of individuals with rather low spirit energy and talent, even mixed blood quincy oft found themselves with more prestigious lines than the Tsetsara Family (Originally known as Vilde, after the massacre, the head of the family at the time decided to change it in the interest of dissociating with the Quincy.) When the extermination of their race took place, her family was spared, ironically, due to this weakness, the methods of sensing them used by the shinigami hardly picking up at all with their rather low spiritual energy. As such, when the time came that it was clear the quincy were soon to die out, they fled to the shadows.
It was at this time, when things had started to fall apart that she found her bloodline wasn't as....pure as she thought. Amidst all of the running.... one night her father began breaking down infront of them, sobbing as he admitted that they were not pure blooded, that their mother was not a quincy, nor were several other members back in their bloodline. But.....with the shinigami on their tails....they just kept going. Ariu could never understand why her father had lied about that. Even moreso, she wished she had asked more about it.....she would soon lose her chance.
Upon her birth, Ariu was shown to have an unusual....talent. Namely that she was actually fairly average in terms of her spiritual energy, which for her family was quite impressive. Immediately beginning to train her as best they could, her parents soon smothered her with attention, ignoring her older brother Kobu in the process. As the both of them grew up, this generated a slight rift between the siblings, but only a shallow one. No matter how favored she seemed, her brother could not bring himself to hate her, and every time he saw her face he found himself smiling. Even upon Ariu's eleventh birthday, when a hollow found it's way to their home, killing their mother and wounding their father, he couldn't bring himself to abandon her, and despite his resentment, carried her off to safety.
As a result of this early Trauma, her brother brought her to a mental health facility in hopes of finding out what was wrong with his sister. After several weeks of testing, they soon took custody of the young woman and this was the very last time she saw her brother. In the institute (a fancy title for what was essentially an asylum) she underwent various therapies and treatments for her depression, when suddenly, when she turned 16, she seemed to take a very sudden shift. While the doctors were unable to explain it, she suddenly seemed inexplicably happy, and not a year later she was discharged into society, promptly moving to try and find her brother. However, upon her release she soon found out that her brother, but never managed to actually locate him, an endeavor spanning a considerable number of years up to her early twenties. It was only recently, upon finally locating their old house, that she finally absolved herself to the loss of her brother, at least she told herself as much. Despite this lie to herself, she subconsciously continues to keep an eye out for her lost kin, often going out of her way in hopes that someday she will accidentally bump into him.
With this new void of purpose, she soon began to re-dedicate herself to her quincy powers, as training them is really all she can remember about her life before the asylum. In addition to her.....activities as a quincy, she landed herself a job as a librarian in a small town in Russia after the previous Librarian quit her job after an especially heinous vandalism of Library Property under her watch. After applying to the position the young woman soon found herself with a job, an inkling of a purpose, and a roof over her head. What else could she ask for?
A question that has slowly begun to haunt her. Despite the events that transpired, she never seemed to be able to trust herself.... to believe in herself. For all that her brother fought to protect, what her parents died for, none of it seemed to make her any better. She was still average, still weak to those whose resolve remained more than her own. People with revenge or pain in their hearts rising so very far above herself, making things of themselves, where she simply fell to the ground and watched the memories of her parents fade, her only picture of them slowly succumbing to dust. With nothing else to do, she simply continues to try.

REISHI TECHNIQUES
LIST
Name: Kamizaiten (Godly Veil of Unsightly Flesh) ** Class: Reishi Technique Type: Supplementary Tier: II Range: Self Description: With this technique, one is able to form a field of spirit particles that reflects any kind of reiatsu-sensing skill. In addition, it also masks any kind of item or power one possesses, making them look like a weak, powerless human, thus becoming virtually invisible to any spiritual being.
Name: Tokukonki (Protective Light Wall) ** Class: Reishi Technique Type: Defensive Tier: III Range: Self Description: This technique allows one to gather spirit particles into a tough shield that protects them from many kinds of attacks. Although the shield does not last very long (around 2 posts), it is an invaluable technique that has saved the lives of countless reishi users.
Name: Kujo (Expulsion) ** Class: Reishi Technique Type: Defensive Tier: III Range: 25 Meter Radius Description: A simple defensive technique in which a short area around the user has its reishi tampered with for two posts, so that the spirit particles become extremely dense and heavily weigh down anyone else who comes within range, allowing them to make a quick escape or get a free shot in. Opponents suffer a x2 decay in their overall Speed and maneuverability when coming into range of this effect.
CUSTOM
GINTO TECHNIQUES
LIST
Name: Gritz (Five Construct Limit) Class: Ginto Tube Technique Type: Binding Range: 30 Meters Tier: III Incantation: A silver rod strikes the five-fingered stone bed - Gritz! Description: This technique uses a silver tube to form a man-sized pentacle symbol travelling at half-bala speeds which envelops its target, trapping them inside.
Name: Kontrolle (Control) ** Class: Ginto Tube Technique Type: Supplementary Range: Self Tier: III Incantation: My mind guides my arrow - Kontrolle! Description: The contents of a single Silver Tube are poured over either the user’s bow or a single silver tube; the next technique that uses the user’s bow or that requires that single silver tube can be spiritually controlled after use.The technique can control ginto techniques of up to a Tier V in power or lower.
CUSTOM
ARSENAL
QUINCY WEAPON
Grinsen (Grin)
Manifesting in the form of an exotic weapon, it takes the appearance of a pendulum blade (also known as a pendulum axe). With a long handle and a crescent blade at the business end, a massive smile is engraved into the blade, indicating it's name. Reiatsu bursts from the weapon exhibit a loud noise similar to laughter when unleashed.
QUINCY CROSS
Fairly unimpressive, her quincy cross is worn around her wrist and, is by large, a normal five-pronged quincy cross.
QUINCY ITEMS
Item Name: Seele Schild Description: A small shield alloyed out of Soul Silver, enough to fit on a Quincy's arm. While they are useless against more powerful attacks, it's small size being only enough to cover ones forearm, it's durability is enough to deflect strikes of a sealed zanpakutou, or even a shikai.
Item Name: Silberdraht Description: A supportive item that can also be used in combat. The wire is spiritually manipulable, and can be used to trap enemies in a tight spot, the true boon of this wire is it's sharpness, that of a sealed Zanpakutou. While a move of the arm can break the wire without too much effort; it will most definitely harm them.
Item Name: Spatz [Sparrow] Description: A set of six dagger-type weapons designed to be perfect for throwing, made of Soul-synthesized Silver and worn on a small belt. These daggers, while they are considered very controversial in a Quincy's arsenal due to their policy of no bladed weapons, it is a set of very useful items to have, able to catch a target of guard and strike with the sharpness of a sealed Zanpakuto. However, they do not have the durability of a sealed Zanpakuto and can be easily broken by anyone of HL or above with a simple swing.
Item Name: Silver Tubes Description: Silver tubes are small, liquid-filled capsules that store spiritual energy, and are used by Quincy for spellcasting in the same way that Shinigami use Kidō. Like Kidō, they are activated by calling out various commands, but do not require any of the user's energy to activate
BATTLE SKILLS
Name: Feixen (Smirk) Class: Variant Style Tier: III Type: Supplemental/Offensive Range: 50 meters Description: This technique causes her weapon to fire special arrows for the post, which activate only when coming into close proximity to enemy reiryoku (It must be designated as an enemy, as such it does not detonate around neutral parties, allies, or individuals whose presence the user is not yet aware of or has not yet sensed.). When this proximity is achieved, the arrow immediately dissolves and accomplishes one of two things: In the event that it comes into contact with free reiryoku from an enemy in the form of an attack, the dissolved arrow fuses with it and warps it into a small sphere so long as it does not have disadvantage. This sphere then bends into a smile before exploding (this process happens at Cero speed) in a small 3 meter radius regardless of the range of the technique.
In the event that it comes into contact with the source of the reiryoku (the enemy themselves) it merely congeals along their skin in the form of a smiling mouth, waiting for them to expell reiryoku at which point it follows the reaction of the first possibility. This smile only lasts 2 posts.
Regardless of this, Ariu must be careful when using this technique as the mix of enemy reiryoku inside these explosions makes her vulnerable to them, and as such must be careful not to effect any techs that are in close proximity to her as it can result in attacks that normally would have missed her to detonate and damage her anyway.
Name: Komiker (Comedian) Class: Variant Style Tier: III Type: Supplementary/Summon Range: Melee Description: By fusing ten arrows together inside of her Variant weapon, at any time the smile on the blade can open up, and from it emerges what appears to be a replica of Ariugrette, her face replaced with a smiling mask, wielding a match to her Variant weapon. This replica summon lasts a total of 3 posts before fading. The summon's chosen mastery is in Weapon skill and only up to 3 of these may be up at a time, additionally summoning is restricted by Ariu's volley size as the 10 arrow count toward the number fired per post. Additionally, she may fire her reiatsu burst from the Komiker instead of from her weapon if she so chooses.
Name: Ansteckende Lachen (Contagious Laughter) Class: Variant Skill Tier: III Type: Binding Range: 5 meter Radius Description: This modifies the Reiryoku burst that can be flung from the Variant weapon, changing it from damaging to a binding zone around the user. Instead of binding the entire body, this is specifically restricted to binding the target from the shoulders up, forcing their face into a closed smile and preventing them from speaking or moving their head whilst they remain in the radius (unless they have advantage, advantage of 1 will allow them to break out of this after a brief moment once they leave the radius, 2 allows instant break regardless of remaining in the radius). Zone lasts 2 posts. 3 post cooldown.
REIATSU FEATURES
Ariu's Reiatsu is a soft Sky Blue and has a very subtle scent that smells mildly of cheese. Those experiencing it may not even be aware that they are sensing something at all, and will simply feel slightly compelled to smile. It does not weigh down normally, but simply slowly creeps it's way into others, like an inkling at the back of the mind it slowly creeps into one's thoughts. It is largely seen as unaggressive, even when flexed.
