Physical Description: Taranis, standing at five-foot-seven and weighing one-hundred forty-seven pounds, is quite the striking woman. In fact, most of her traits are anything but subdued. Her eyes glow a vibrant amber tint and compliment her wild-long hair. Aside from this figurative mane, Traranis has two strands of hair that glide down the front side of her face and normally rest around her bosom. Her teeth shine a brilliant white and she is overall rather slim. Keeping herself rather clean-shaven, the girl boasts no additional hair to speak of.
Having grown up in the 63rd District of the Rukongai, Taranis is somewhat conditioned, being no stranger to scraps and petty fights. Speaking of scraps, Taranis bears quite a number of scars and other blemishes that symbolize her survival in such a brutal environment. As such, Taranis has no shame in putting them on full display. Speaking of full display, Taranis is quite comfortable with her body and is certainly well-endowed. She isn't lewd about it, but the girl certainly isn't shy.
However, Taranis' most defining qualities are her feline traits. Perhaps she was the victim of an experiment by Squad 12? Perhaps one of her parents was a beast-clan? Maybe this is just some crazy genetic defect? The girl has no idea why, but she has fuzzy, golden cat-like ears and a tail. Naturally, this is the first thing people will ask about and as such, Taranis usually wraps her tail around her waist to mimic a golden obi.
On the topic of clothes, Taranis can be extremely fickle. First and foremost, in private, Taranis will often opt to wear no clothes at all. Hell, there's nothing that the girl likes more than the feeling of sunlight on her bare skin. Around company, however, Taranis will opt for something more comfortable. Usually just a simple top and a pair of sweatpants. After all, why should she have to suffer when not on duty. She'd much rather lounge around in baggy clothing than be restrained.
While on duty, Taranis is more keen to stand on ceremony, but even that isn't saying much. While the girl can rarely be seen with the typical garb of the Onmitsukidō, boasting a sleeveless and backless Shihakushō. However, usually, Taranis will wear her preferred outfit. A blackened tube top, cream-colored thigh highs which rise up to her waist laterally, and a pair of black panties. Around her waist, Taranis will usually be wearing an obi or a sarashi, depending on if she's expecting to get into a fight.
Aside from the aforementioned components of her outfit, the girl wears twin gold bands on her upper arm. Extending outward from the gold bands are white sleeves which she can remove as needed. Underneath these sleeves, Taranis will typically wrap a sarashi. To wrap up this design, the girl wears a long white scarf that extends toward her back. The scarf is extremely soft to the touch and sometimes Taranis can be found nuzzling it affectionately. As one can expect, Taranis's preferred outfit is rather revealing.
Being a Shinigami, Taranis has her own Zanpakutō. Unlike most, however, these Zanpakutō were borne of two different Asauchi. Due to this, Taranis Zanpakutō has developed into two different forms. One of her blades has developed into a katana with a traditional 3 ft long blade. The blade is beautiful to behold and reflects the faintest light. The tsuba is intricately carved to form the jagged shape of a hurricane. Taranis keeps the jade-green sheath for this blade on her side.
Taranis' second Zanpakutō comes in the form of a more subdued and perhaps, more intimate weapon. Possessing a 15-inch blade, her companion Zanpakutō has developed into a wakizashi. Boasting a blade more akin to a tantō, this weapon is ideal for concealment and close-quarter sparring. The tsuba of the wakizashi appears to be adorned with carvings of streaks of lightning. Unlike her katana, Taranis keeps the golden sheath for this blade along the back of her waist.

𖣐 Personality 𖣐
Dislikes: Nobility: Likely to nobody's surprise, given the environment that she grew up in, Taranis has a sore spot for the nobles of Soul Society. Greater or lesser, it doesn't matter. She knows that they look down on people like her for coming from the "street". Given that she lacks the same reverence as some of her peers, someone of noble blood better not catch her on the wrong day.
The Vandenreich: The Quincy Empire has effectively sworn to slaughter every man, woman, and child in Soul Society. Not to mention that they are hostile to Shinigami. It's no surprise that Taranis would have a problem with them. After all, they have a bone to pick with her.
Animal Cruelty: Perhaps simply borne of her natural instincts, but Taranis despises people who would mistreat any kind of animal. Anyone who she dares catch commit even an ounce of violence to an animal will face her wrath, consequences be damned! This mentality also extends to her fellow beast-clan hybrids.
Monologuing: Despite her, at times, laziness, Taranis is still a member of the Onmitsukidō. She believes in efficiency and hates wasting time when she doesn't need to. Opponents who monologue or explain their abilities in-depth have to be the worst to fight. If possible, Taranis will pass them off to another one of her companions.
Traitors: The Onmitsukidō are, at their core, protect the interests of Soul Society and, by extension, the greater good. For this reason, Taranis is incredibly vindictive towards defectors. People who would selfishly offer information to the enemy. Taranis has no problem with dissenting opinions toward Soul Society, but they should never divulge even a word of information.
Hysteria: Time and time again, hysteria over her bestial traits has gotten her into quite scraps with the 63rd District. Nobody will judge her on the quality of her character and instead will make judgments based on her appearance. It is vexing to say, the least. Maybe that's why she joined the Onmitsukidō? She wouldn't mind having an excuse to ruff up those that doubted her.
Her Age: More specifically, it annoys the shit out of Taranis when she gets called young. Sure, she might not be millennia or even close to a century old, but that doesn't make her immature. Comments about her age will surely incense this girl and lead to a nasty grudge that can last a lifetime.
Clothing: While it has been known to get her into a shit ton of trouble, Taranis actually likes being nude. If it were up to her, she'd live her entire life without wearing a shred of clothing. Unfortunately, indecent exposure is a law and Taranis has received quite a few complaints due to her unrestrained nature.
Likes: The Seventh Division: Serving as the public counterpart to the Onmitsukidō, Taranis can't help, but hold some respect for that Division. Much like each of their own, Taranis feels that the Seventh Division is cut from the same cloth. They have a thankless job, but it's essential to the survival of the Seireitei.
Apples: Did you know? Shinigami love apples.
The Night: Despite her love of feeling the warm sun against her skin, Taranis has a certain fondness for nighttime. Perhaps it just makes the job of the Onmitsukidō easier. After all, a body consumed by the void is harder to track down than one struck down in broad daylight.
Resting: Exemplifying another of her cat-like qualities, Taranis loves to sleep, rest, lounge, you name it. As long as the activity doesn't involve any work she is down for it. Any amount of sleep that is even a minute shy of 12 hours if far too little sleep for this Shinigami.
Zanpakutō: Both Todoroku Raimei and Todoroku Taifū are near her and dear to the girl. She sees her Zanpakutō as a sign that everyone in the Rukongai was wrong about her. She is more than a beast. An abomination. She has genuine good to offer to Soul Society and her Zanpakutō is a sign of that devotion. A symbol of her loyalty.
Beast-Clan Hybrids: Taranis isn't really sure what to call them, but she recognizes the adversity that she had to face while growing up in the Rukongai. She had her fellow Shinigami who share bestial traits have to stick together. Needless to say, Taranis is willing to shed blood over her fellow hybrids.
Sparring: Taranis has no love for senseless violence, but the girl is always happy to spar. As a member of the Onmitsukidō, is important to keep your skills sharp. More than that, Tanaris believes in simulating real environments. This means the use of live weaponry and every ability at your disposal. The spar will go until somebody taps out.
Close-quarters Combat: As a member of the Onmitsukidō, Tanaris understands that the responsibility over the Maggot's Nest lies in their hands. Naturally, no Zanpakutō are allowed and as such, Tanaris had to learn some level of unarmed combat. Aside from that, Tanaris just likes being up close and personal with her quarry.
Flaws: Laziness: As one can guess based on her tendency to sleep for excessive periods of time, Taranis can appear to be rather lazy. Sometimes, she'll try to wiggle out of work if possible or push it onto someone else within the Onmitsukidō. This laziness can also just turn into procrastination if the mission is not on a strict time table.
Zealous: As a member of the Onmitsukidō, Taranis has a thankless job. They are the blades in the dark. The ears of every wall in Soul Society. There are times that they must be cruel, and yet, Taranis believes in the cause. She believes that any one of their quarry dies for the greater good of Soul Society. Even her own life is nothing compared to that.
Jaded: Given her history in the Rukongai, Taranis has grown bitter. Her initial assumption is that she will be judged harshly based on her physical qualities alone. As such, Taranis can be rather belligerent from the beginning of a relationship with anyone, but her fellow half-beast hybrids. She's also had enough of people asking about her ears.
Vindictive: Taranis will admit that she can be a little vindictive. She has a range of what she's willing to do depending on the transgression. For simple mishaps, she might not talk to you for a day or so. However, should the transgression be severe, Taranis is willing to go to unimaginable lengths to pay it back ten times over.
Lascivious: Taranis recognizes that she is fairly attractive and if worst comes to worst, she's certainly not above attempting to use a bit of sex appeal to get what she wants. Despite this strategy, she is not a floozy. She won't get in bed with just anyone. However, a bit of manipulatory flashing to achieve a goal never hurt anyone.
Habits: Whistling: When walking around Barracks or throughout the streets of Seireitei, Taranis can often be found whistling. It can really be any tune. If hunting down prey that she knows she can easily take out, Taranis will sometimes whistle just to prey on their fears as she marks her approach.
Wrapping her tail: Sometimes the tail can get in the way so Taranis will wrap it around her waist or, if able, around whatever clothing that she is wearing. Traditionally, she wraps it as one would an obi. It's less about avoiding suspicion and more about convenience.
Play with her food: A natural predator at heart, Taranis will sometimes play with her food. Whether this is the aforementioned whistling or just her stopping short from lethal blows, Taranis may try to keep them alive as long as possible. That is, however, only with those that have wronged her. As an officer of the Onmitsukidō, her missions can't always allow for this kind of playfulness.
Scratching: Given her cat-like nature, Taranis has a habit of scratching folk. Extending beyond combat, the Shinigami can be quite the hassle. Whether through her Zanpakutō or via the girls' own sharpened nails, Taranis takes almost mischievous delight in scratching just about anyone who comes within her range.

Inner World: Boasting two Zanpakutō spirits, Taranis' Inner World is split between a stormy mountain range, inhabited by Todoroku Raimei, and lush plains accompanied by crystal clear blue water which expands into wide oceans, which are graced by Todoroku Taifū. Even though the pair of Zanpakutō have their own respective sections, neither necessarily linger on their side. Todoroku Raimei has been known to enjoy the calming seas and bountiful sunlight, while Todoroku Taifū can appreciate the tall elevations of the thunderous mountain range.
Being an extension of the girl's own soul, the Inner World will correspond accordingly to Taranis' emotions. Joy and happiness result in calming waters as gentle rainfall graces the mountains. Should Taranis be under duress or feel anger, the wrath of nature is unveiled. Dark clouds gather, battering rock and stone with vicious lightning strikes, while the seas become uneasy. Waves crash against beaches and strong winds buffet anything that dare approach the one calming waterfront.

Todoroku Raimei Overall Ability: Focusing on the primal element of lightning, Todoroku Raimei is a Zanpakutō that allows Taranis to wield its full destructive potential. Cinematically, Todoroku Raimei causes Taranis' body to crackle with electrical potential. This electricity is not powerful enough to harm anyone but will cause hairs to stand up and can interfere with small technology when in extremely close proximity. Releasing Todoroku Raimei gives Taranis access to the Thunder God Gauge. The Thunder God Gauge has a maximum capacity of 50 when Todoroku Raimei is released on its own and increases in increments While Todoroku Raimei is released, Taranis may use Weapon: Daishō to determine her proficiency with the released weapon. If Todoroku Raimei were to be sealed, the Thunder God Gauge halts its progression and simply resumes where it left off should the Zanpakutō be re-released.
The Thunder God Gauge may be expended in lieu of reiatsu for Taranis' release techniques. If the Wind God Gauge is active, the Thunder God Gauge will not fill automatically every post. Instead, the gauge will fill by an equal amount when the Wind God Gauge is spent. Additionally, the Thunder God Gauge's maximum capacity is increased to 100. However, activation of the Wind God Gauge will automatically set the Thunder God Gauge to 50.
