Urozakuro
CharacterUrozakuro, a name translating to Rain and Dew Pomegranate, serves as the living spirit housed within Sōya Azashiro's Zanpakutō. Appearing in the Bleach novels, she surfaced during her master's childhood tragedy and remains the wellspring of the fusing power behind his Bankai.
Appearance
Manifesting as a tall, full-figured woman, Urozakuro binds her long black hair with a golden cord into a fan shape at the back, letting a tail hang to each side. Bands cover both of her eyes, and she drapes herself in an oversized lavender robe whose enormous sleeves and black-trimmed shoulders leave her chest exposed. Should the covering over her face ever come away, she is said to bear the likeness of Sōya's late sister.
Personality
She comes across as gleefully deranged, prone to fits of manic laughter and a cruel streak of mischief. Toward Sōya she is openly teasing, needling her master whenever the mood takes her.

History
Urozakuro first stirred to life while Azashiro was still a boy. When rival nobles condemned his entire clan to die fighting Hollows, the sight of his family being cut down broke something in him, and the spirit answered by seizing control of the Reishi nearby. Cackling all the while, she tore apart the nobles standing close and opened an escape for the child into the Rukongai.
