Name: Ciara Shiomi
Age: Human: 17 Hollow: 400 Arrancar: 80 Total of 497 years
Gender: Female
Appearance: 5’3” and very mischievous looking. Her horns are part of the mask and are connected by a strip that almost make it look like a headband.
Personality: Being only 5’3”, Ciara has a bit of a short complex and tends to gloat if she ever finds someone shorter than her. She is quite a bit of a brat and hates almost everyone, except very few. Normally a bit of a distrustful loner, she only really opens up when around those people, and will generally do anything and behave for them. She is rather feisty and rude, and is usually not above making snide remarks about things. Though, much of her nastiness is just an attempt to push others away. She is rather calm and almost sweet when she is alone, or with the only people she trusts. She also has close to no shame and will make references of any nature, especially toward the ones she actually trusts, and can have someone walk in on her without caring too much, or walk in on someone. In fact, she may comment on it!
History: Ciara grew up in a small town in the country. The closest city was 10 miles off and she commonly took the bus to go to school. She had a few friends, and was a good student, but what few people knew was that, despite her efforts, she was never really liked. Her friends were only the small few that pitied her a slight bit, but still weren’t all too reliable. She was bullied a lot as a kid, and even though she tried not to step out of the line, no one helped her. To make matters worse, she lived alone with her father, who was a raging alcoholic and would almost regularly berate her and beat her for things she never did, making her resent him and slowly hate him.
One night, her father came home drunk and vented his frustrations on her and she, being unable to take it anymore, snapped on him, fighting back for once before eventually escaping her house, trying to find a friend who would take her in for a few, since it was no longer safe at home. Unfortunately, she couldn’t get anyone to take her, so she had to slowly walk back home, taking her sweet time in hopes that he would be asleep and she wouldn’t have to deal with him.
Unfortunately, her father was very much awake, and still angry. Before she knew what was going on, he grabbed the closest object, striking her with it as she tried to flee up to her room, knocking her down. He then began to angrily beat the life clean out of her, and act he soon regretted.
Even though he had been caught for her murder, and arrested, Ciara’s anger festered as she watched him, and the friends that had forsaken her, continue to live on until her hatred eventually turned her into a Hollow and she immediately devoured the souls of her father and her friends, seeking revenge.
For hundreds of years, her hate towards people only grew, making her desire to punish them before devouring their souls grow and she was always smart and fast enough to escape death from both Shinigami and Quincy, eventually being turned into an Arrancar when she was 417 years old.
From that point, she made it a point to avoid others, only interacting with others to devour them or shove them away in some way or form. That is, until one day she was approached by Kakita, one of the Espada and asked to become his fraccion. Having been insanely bored at the time, she agreed, but she still desired her own space, a commodity she rarely got. Irritated, she mouthed off and tried to push others away, only to be rewarded by lack of any attention whatsoever, something she normally wouldn’t have minded, and a boring heap of menial chores from Kakita, the ever lazy pretty boy Espada. Hating the chores completely, she eventually wised up a bit and held her tongue, refraining from smarting off when it would only make her bored beyond imagination.
To her surprise, the second she did, he suddenly began treating her better and, even though she usually preferred to be alone, she began to enjoy his company and eventually opened up to the Espada, accepting him completely.
