(images also in avatar and signature)
Personality: Lightning's personality is very determined, concentrated, independent, and cunning. Lightning has a straightforward persona with a lone wolf attitude. Interestingly, Lightning seems slightly shy towards physical proximity outside of a combat situation. She is shy when it comes to matters regarding love having been so closed off from everyone and never allowing herself to feel love for another. Even simply seeing a man without a shirt on will cause her to become uncomfortable and blush. She is slow to open up and trust anyone, however once you have gained her loyalty you will have it forever. She loves food, more than she should. It doesn't matter what it is Lightning will most likely eat it She is extremely fond and protective animals even more so than children. Despite her tough exterior Lightning likes female things such as Pastel colours with her favourite being pastel pink and cherry blossoms.
Sexuality: Straight

Zanpakuto InformationZanpakuto Name: Zetsu-maru
Zanpakuto Looks: 
Other Techniques: Teleportation: Lightning has the unique ability to teleport in order to counterattack her opponents, which is different from either flash step or Sonido. She disappears and reappears with a swirl or cherry blossoms when she does this.
Immunity to Shock: Lightning is immune to damage from shock, she can not be harmed by any electrical current.
Materialisation/dematerialisation of weapon: Lightning is able to materialise and dematerialise her Zanpaktou at will. It is instantanious and requires no cooldown period since it is not an attack. This does however mean she can conceal her blade and if she loses grip on her blade in combat that she can simply summon it back to her; preventing her from being unarmed.
Flexibility/speed/agility: Lightning is extremely flexible and agile. Her fighting style relies on these skills as well as her speed. She might not the strongest of shingami's however can make up for it with her speed and agile fighting style.
Using the static electricity in the air: (in normal/shikai/bankai): Lightning is able to use any electricity in the surrounding environment to her advantage. She can summon the static electricity from the air and form it into an attack that depends on her form. In normal state she can form it into a bolt that is shot towards the enemy, in shikai it is a sphere that will follow the enemy much like a homing missile. And in Bankai the electricity in the air is gathered around the enemy and will shock the foe. It is least powerful in normal state and most in bankai. It doesn't require lengthy power up time, several seconds at most. The power of the attack is also influenced by the amount of electricity in the environment, eg: less powerful on a sunny day and more powerful in a storm.
Released Zanpakuto Description: Lightning’s Zanpaktou has a ‘constant release’ effect allowing her control over the gravity surrounding her and her body becomes electrically charged. Any direct contact would result in a direct and powerful shock. The electrical shock's effect would be increased by the amount of physical contact. For instance if a hand was placed onto her the shock would result in the electrical shock paralyzing their hand and arm, if only a finger was placed on her then only the hand would be paralysed. In a sword-fight the electrical current does travel down her blade however it is weakened upon traveling the distance. However if for instance she was in a deadlock the electrical charge would buildup in the zanpaktou over time and she could release it to end the deadlock. It would take around 5 seconds for the charge to build up strong enough to cause said effect.
Lightning is able to form a shield from the electricity in the environment when in shikai state. On a sunny day the shield would be rather weak only able to withstand a low level blow before breaking however in a storm the shield would be powerful and able to withstand a much stronger attack. This ability takes a couple of seconds to form and needs a 2 post cooldown.
“Kneel” the gravity around her enemy is increased immensely forcing her enemy to the ground under the immense pressure. This ability takes no time to effect her foe as such however at the gravitational pressure builds up over a matter of seconds.
1st second= Severely slowed movement and speed
2nd second= Pressure pushes down on the victim
3rd second= Maximum pressure, forces victim to the ground
This ability uses a moderate amount of energy to use and therefore requires a 3 post cooldown period. Also the range of the ability differs on the amount of energy she uses. It is possible for her to effect a radius of 150 metres from herself at maximum.
Zanpakuto Release Phrase: “Heel”

Bankai InformationThis applies to captains only.((seeing as she is/was part of the royal guard I figured she would have a bankai?? If not then I understand))
Do you want your character to have bankai: Yes
Bankai Description: To use her Bankai Lightning throws her blade up into the air, a lightning bolt then strikes the blade from the sky causing the blade to transform into the form of its true self (a wolf, see image below) She also says “Time for the hunt, Zetsu-maru” Zetsu will act as a free-to-act support for Lightning unless she calls upon his special abilities which he would then carry out. The two have an almost telepathic connection which allows them to fight as a team effectively.
Abilities:
“Shred Zetsu-maru” Often used when the enemy is in the air, Zetsu turns into a pure electrical charge and will pass through the enemy numerous times. (Zetsu keeps his form when he does this so is still visible) Seeing as how Zetsu is the manifestation of electricity itself the change in form from solid to a charge is instantanious. Zetsu has never passed through an enemy more than 4 times and Lightning figures that is his maximum. The charge is as powerful as that of a lightning strike.
This is an extremely powerful attack and therefore has a cooldown of 5 posts.
“Howl Zetsu-maru” Zetsu will howl and call forth several other wolf-like forms, one for each element. (fire, water,ice,wind,lightning) Upon contact with their enemy they explode into a blast of their element. This attack takes several seconds as Zetsu has to howl/summon the wolves. during this time Lightning protects him and distracts the opponent. This ability can be used to attack several opponents at once, each wolf would take a different enemy rather than attacking the same one.
This ability requires a 5 post cool down period.
Zetsu-maru is the manifestation of a pure electrical charge, if touched directly by the foe or their blade he would shock them rather severely. The more electricity in the environment the stronger Zetsu-maru's charge would be.

History and RP SampleHistory: Nothing is known of Lightning's Birth or family history as she suffered from amnesia at a young age.
Early life:
Kisuke Urahara spotted her stealing food in the Rukongai District, intrigued by the fact that she was feeling hunger and therefore must have spiritual power he followed her to the rundown shack she had been making home. Engaging her in conversation he learnt that she had amnesia and knew no more than her name. He asked her if she would want to become a Soul Reaper, to which she agreed eagerly stating "anything is better than this" Upon entering the academy Kaihime changed her name to Lightning for all intensive purposes, Hoping that by changing her name she could change herself and that she could seperate herself from her former life. The fact that she was extremely talented and her personality meant she had few to none friends throughout her time at the academy. She did however how a crush on a noble named Byakuya Kuchiki, that crush being a long-term crush til the current day.
Getting Shikai: Lightning was accepted into squad 6 as an unseated officer after graduation at the academy where she had graduated highest of her grade. It was in the 6th division that she trained daily and achieved her Shikai. Her shikai was impressive enough to catch the eye of the royal guard along with her young age and low seated postition. It was for those reason's that her talent and potential overrode the Royal guards usual trait of only inducting captains into their ranks.
King's Realm and Bankai: Lightning was brought into the King's realm as a low ranking member of the Royal Guard. She was treated rather coldly by the others due to her young age and lack of Bankai. For several years she was given no duties and subjected to rigorous training day after day until she achieved her Bankai. She was only on duty as a regular royal guard for a few years before she was summoned by the King.
Soul Society: Lightning was sent back to Soul Society by the king as he sensed a great disturbance in reiatsu in the human world and wanted her to help the Gotei 13 as one of his most powerful and reliable officers. She was told that a great threat was approaching the Gotei 13 and that she was to aid them in the upcoming abttle. She was given the rank of 6th Division lieutenant to fill as a guise for her time at the Seretei.
RP Sample: Sample 1:Illuminated by no more than moonlight the ground beneath her feet was barely visible. The cool winds blew through her hair carrying with them the scent of the earlier rainfall. It had been a long time since she had been in the area, but now she was to be calling it home once more; The Seretei. All was quiet on the streets, none wanted to venture out so late in such weather without a viable need. The surrounding structures had not changed greatly, only small differences were noteable. Crickets soon joined the wind's gentle howl, creating the night's soundtrack. Memories flashed by in her mind inspired by the familiar scents and sights surrounding her. So many memories, each conjuring their own emotion. Emotions.......such useless things or so she had come to believe.
A flash in the sky drew her attention to it, a falling star made it's way across the star filled sky. She stood quite as she watched it wondering to herself, if she believed in the power of wishing upon such an object what would she wish for?
Sample 2:It seemed as if the weather was taunting her, such miserable weather for a day of importance. The sky flashed with lightning as the storm above unleashed it's rage upon those it saw as no more than ants below it. The cold rain that fell from the darn and menacing clouds above pooling in the shallow indents of the pavement that was the path she walked. As the water dripped from her hair and face Lightning wondered whether it could be as sign of the event to soon follow. As she approached the building that was her destination she breathed a sigh of relief, finally she would be out of the rain and wind. The sky echoed with the whip like crack of thunder as she reached for the door, she felt Zetsu-maru react to the sound. Still excited by storms aren't you To her Zetsu-maru was like a puppy and always would be despite his size.
Due to the large size of the coat she was wearing Lightning had to wiggle her hand through the sleeve so it could be seen and able to open the door. She had borrowed the coat from a much larger member of the Royal Guard upon leaving for the Seretei. It may not have fit ideally however it's waterproof characteristics had shielded her from the drenching capabilities of the rain. Her head and hair however.....well they were soaked just like the earth around her. Pulling the door open She stepped into the room closing the door behind her. Instantly she removed the coat that had protected her on her venture and hung it on the coat stand next to her. The room's air was warm and comforting, almost as if she was standing in the sun on a bright day. The cold droplets of rain falling from her hair onto her body gave her goosebumps now there was no coat to take the temperature away.
She readied herself to take in what was the office she would share with her captain now, she didn't know what to expect as she turned around.
