Titles: 22nd Head of the Shihoin Clan, Former Captain of the 2nd Division of the Gotei 13, Former Commander-in-Chief of the Onmitsukido and Corps Commander of the Executive Militia. Height: 156cm Weight: 54kg Birthday: January 1st Favorite Food: Milk Dislikes: None A mysterious black cat capable of human speech who lives freely as a freeloader at the Urahara Shop. Her true identity is a glamorous woman with dark skin. Personality: First person: I (Washi - archaic/old man style). Despite her stern, elderly tone of voice and speech patterns (using "ja," "kanou," "onushi," etc.), she has a free-spirited personality. She has little sense of shame, often stripping down to take a bath right in front of Ichigo Kurosaki, and enjoys teasing others. Her eating manners are so boisterous and disastrous that one would never guess she is a noble lady. She is very sexy and well-endowed. She has a large tattoo on her left thigh, visible in swimwear, though it is actually a sticker. She currently wears her hair in a long ponytail, though she had short hair in the past. She usually disguises herself as a black cat. In her cat form, she speaks with a deep, gravelly man's voice. She seems to like her cat form because she can eat a lot with little food, stay free, and remain unclothed. Her cat transformation was originally a technique she developed to escape when she was confined to her mansion for slacking off on work. She isn't picky about food, but she loves milk and gets in a great mood when it's available. Notably, she cannot handle alcohol very well. Background: The 22nd head and first female head of the Shihoin Clan, one of the Four Noble Houses known as the "Stewards of the Heavenly Armory." She was a Soul Reaper and Captain of the 2nd Division over 100 years ago. She has been close with Kisuke Urahara since those days; they trained together, and she was the one who recommended him (then the 3rd Seat of her division) for the vacant Captaincy of the 12th Division. She is acquainted with other nobles and used to tease Byakuya Kuchiki frequently when he was a boy. 101 years before the main story, she lost her status for aiding the escape of Urahara (who was being framed by Sosuke Aizen), Tessai Tsukabishi, and the Visoreds. Her former subordinate, Soi Fon, adored her but grew to resent her after this incident, though they later reconciled. Abilities: She excels in "Hakuda" (hand-to-hand combat) and "Hoho" (movement techniques). She is a master of "Shunpo" (Flash Step), earning her the nickname "Goddess of Flash" (Shunshin Yoruichi). Despite not being on the front lines for 101 years, her skills are top-tier, showing speed superior to Byakuya and instantly neutralizing Soi Fon's Shunko. She possesses a Zanpakuto and has achieved Bankai as a former Captain, but she primarily fights bare-handed. It was later revealed she is actually stronger fighting with Shunko than with a sword. Appearance: Dark skin and golden eyes: Characterized by beautiful dark skin, sharp yet alluring golden eyes, and upturned almond-shaped eyes. Hairstyle: Long purple-black hair tied back in a ponytail. Clothing: Prefers orange leggings, sleeveless Onmitsukido combat gear with white cloth wraps, or light, revealing outfits. Speech Style: First person: I (Washi). While her human form is a young beauty, her speech is old-fashioned and stern, like an old man. In cat form, she speaks with a "deep, gravelly man's voice." Combat Style: "Goddess of Flash": A master of movement with overwhelming speed, feared as "Shunshin Yoruichi." Even the genius Byakuya Kuchiki could never catch her during games of tag in his childhood. Physical Beauty without a Zanpakuto: Though she owns a Zanpakuto, she has never been seen drawing it in battle. She fights primarily with Hakuda and Kido. Signature Move "Shunko" (Flash Cry): An advanced combat technique that combines Hakuda with high-pressure Kido compressed around her back and shoulders, often blowing the sleeves and back of her clothes off. Shunko: Raiju Senkei "Shunryu Kokuyo Zhanqi": The pinnacle of Shunko, a trump card that releases her hidden beast nature and overwhelming combat power. Cat ears and tail: Upon activation, cat ears made of lightning appear on her head and a lightning tail appears at her lower back, making her look like a "Thunder Beast." Clothing changes: Her back and limbs are covered in electrical currents, and her clothing shifts into a more revealing, restrictive design. The most significant feature of this form is that she loses her human reason and becomes a literal "fickle cat." Communication breakdown: She can no longer understand human speech; she might attack an enemy on a whim or suddenly lose interest and start playing with a ball of yarn. Reiryoku changes 48 times per second: Her spiritual pressure fluctuates 48 times a second according to her mood swings. This makes it impossible for enemies to tune their techniques to her energy, rendering defense or analysis impossible.
