Appearance

Slight in stature, she carries a long fall of dark hair down her back. Her clothing is the black robe issued to every Shinigami, kept snug at the waist by a pale-toned sash rather than left hanging loose.

Personality

Only a single trait has surfaced so far. She has a marked tendency to raise her voice at moments that call for no such outburst, shouting when quiet would serve just as well.

History

She is a product of the Nemuri Project, a program through which Mayuri Kurotsuchi engineers artificial souls that he treats as his own children, which casts her as his manufactured daughter and a sibling of sorts to the first of the line, Nemu Kurotsuchi. Ten years on from the destruction Yhwach visited upon the Seireitei, with the rebuilding effort finally concluded, Mayuri set his sights on a newly finished district he intended to survey as the possible home of a hidden research complex, and he summoned her to walk the grounds at his side.
