Character Information
Personality: Kaminari is very driven. If she wants something, she goes for it with a strong mind and lots of determination. She pushes her comrades to believe in themselves and reach their goals. She's very supportive and always tries to keep a positive outlook on everything she experiences. She's very cheerful, energetic, and excitable. Even with these fun traits of hers, Kaminari is a stubborn woman that does not like being told what to do, especially when she feels her way is best. She isn't someone who likes following someone else's lead. Instead, she likes to be the leader and to inspire others to not give up. She sometimes comes off arrogant because of it, but she doesn't mean to.
Kaminari has a gentle nature, but is also very sensitive. She doesn't like to cause pain or feel it. She can't handle seeing someone she cares about in pain, especially if she caused it. In situations like this, she is prone to grabbing some alcohol. She's got some events in her past that haunt her every single day. These are things she has yet to open up to anyone about, even her best friends. She's thought about opening up about these things, but every time she thinks about it, she can't handle the memory. When it comes to her personal life, Kaminari is pretty easy to hurt. She doesn't like feeling bad about herself as a person, so certain things have pushed her to doing the best she can in her afterlife.
Kaminari prefers to lead the pack, but not just in rank, though that is one of her lifetime goals. She wants to lead in most aspects life. She's tired of looking up to people and behind them as they're running up in front. She wants to be the strongest, the fastest, the smartest. She pushes herself more while trying to get to this goal. Kaminari wants to finally reach the point where she can finally feel proud of what she's done. She wants to make it to the Captain Commander of the Gotei 13, which has been her goal since Tsubine rescued her. Speaking of him, Kaminari is unsure whether she wants to be Captain Commander anymore because if she is that means that Tsubine is not.
Kaminari has a big inferiority complex and it's a mindset she can't shake. Even if the sexiest man in the Soul Society told her that she was beautiful, there will always one thing that makes her feel inferior. Kaminari is small. Her height is practically that of a midget in comparison to most of the people she knows. Rarely does she find someone shorter than her, and when she does they seem to accept their shortness a lot better than she feels she can. It's not just her height either; she's small in the chest area as well. She looks at Midori and Solas and knows that she could fall asleep on their chests. Kaminari wants to have a larger chest, but it won't happen and this makes her feel inferior.
If you are Kaminari's friend, she's going to believe almost anything you say. Kaminari's gullible personality is probably one of the funniest things about her. Unless she's in some leadership mode, she doesn't question her friends and often can't tell whether they're lying or joking. She takes things seriously enough that she'll note them in the back of her mind as facts. An example of this is when her friend Solas unintentionally convinced Kaminari that the reason Solas' breasts were so large is because she rubbed them for ten minutes every night. Since then, Kaminari sits in her room for twenty minutes every night and rubs her breasts in what is a very real hope that they were grow.
Around her friends, Kaminari can be pretty innocent, but among other situations she is pretty cautious. She's learned to treat people she doesn't know like they're some random person on the street. This is why she gets to know people in the Gotei 13 so much. It helps her not treat people like they mean nothing. It's a habit she could, but will not break. She'll be a decent person and keep being polite, but she trusts people very little. She gives people the benefit of the doubt, but the moment someone loses her trust, it's very difficult to get it back. Second chances are not things she gives out often. Her trust is precious, but she has trust issues that keep her from forgiving people who mess up.
Kaminari has a strong reflex that she can't get rid of. She cannot be grabbed by her wrists or neck and pinning her down can send her into a panic mode. If she can't break free from these grabs, it's possible for her to black out and actually harm people. It's difficult to get her out of this state. She has to be calmed down without grabbing her or pinning her in anyway. With this, it doesn't matter who you are. She'd even react to her closest friends this way if she wasn't aware it was happening. Surprising her is not the smartest thing to do. She doesn't yet have the control to resist this either. She hasn't trained enough. However, Kaminari hopes to one day get this reflex of hers under control.
Kaminari refuses to show anyone when she's upset. This doesn't mean the minor annoyances or frustrations. This has to do with more significant emotions, when something is bugging her over time. There are a couple of people that she can open up to. Genpaku is number one and Daigoro is right up there with him. She trusts them with her life and knows he will listen when she's hurting. They're her best friends! However, the other people she could open up a bit to are Midori, Lilith, Tsubine, and maybe Solas. Sometimes Kazuo might be in there, but that's quite situational. She doesn't have many close friends, but these people are considered the closest. Genapku is her best friend.
Character Background:
Kaminari was born in 1871 and died in 1889. Kaminari has suppressed and ignored the memories of her life in the World of the Living. Her memories of her life then are just a burden. They are a burden that she wishes she did not have to suffer. The horrors of her secret past haunt her on a daily. Any reminders make things worse. Kaminari keeps these memories at bay by living the life she has now in the Soul Society, but no matter how long she lives there, how many people she meets, how long she fights, or how many friends she gains, nothing can make her forget her time in life. They will continue to haunt her until she dies or until something helps her accept them as part of her.
First Encounter: Tsubine von Zarkonheinz (1889 -1909)
For twenty years of her afterlife, Kaminari was kept prisoner in a dark cell. The ground was dirt, the walls were rock, and she was constantly shackled to the wall so they dug grooves into her wrists and around her neck after a while. Since they never had a chance to heal over the years, when they finally did heal they scarred. Kaminari speaks nothing about what occurred during her imprisoned years. When she was finally rescued, it was by a man with piercing gold eyes and brown hair. Removing the shackles from her caused her wrists and neck to bleed. This man helped take care of that and cleaned her up. He shielded her from the sunlight, fed her, and brought her back to safety.
The Seireitei wasn't what she expected to be taken to. When they arrived she was put in a cell and soon people came to interrogate her. They were blunt, uncaring, and rude. They wanted information that she didn't have and she refused to speak with them. She demanded to see the man who saved her, so they brought him in. He was able to get her to talk more and it showed the rest that she really didn't know. She was just a prisoner in that place and nothing more. They figured out she felt she deserved being down there and treated it like a punishment. Tsubine von Zarkonheinz, her rescuer, told her that she would be able to atone for anything she did. She wasn't evil and he could sense it.
Working At Shino Academy: Gaining A Best Friend: (1910-1920)
After being rescued, Kaminari had absolutely nowhere to go. Someone let her know that non-Shinigami often got minor jobs throughout the Seireitei to make the place feel more alive. There were markets, restaurants, and other things she could look at to find a job. Kaminari found one at Shino Academy; she wanted to watch the students train. She was able to learn the basics just by watching and practicing in her free time. She wasn't supposed to do that, but she chose to anyway. Here she met a man by the name of Daigoro Ito. One day while watching one of the classes, Kaminari walked up to a student having trouble with their Kidō practice to help out, but was rudely ignored and insulted.
Out of anger, Kaminari was ready to destroy the other student with a nicely charged Byakurai. She had learned it and found she had a talent for Kidō. She was about to hurt the student, but was stopped by a man with red hair. Kaminari was instantly taken in by the fact that he was hot. He calmed her down and gave her a few pointers on how to deal with morons. There was a moment where this man almost called her small, but Kaminari gave him a look that made him stop. Kaminari did not let this man know she wasn't a student. After the two talked, she found a sparring partner in him and he a Kidō tutor in her. The two became close over their training together and Kaminari soon called him best friend.
A New Job: Encountering Solas (1921-1924)
Kaminari ended up having to change jobs after while. She became bored of rewatching the classes year after year, especially since she had pretty much attended the advanced classes as well. Not many realized that Kaminari was not a student, but she always did her job and did it well. Now that she was done with it, she moved on to being a secretary for Solas Foiche. Usually a Lieutenant would act like this, but Kaminari merely offered an extra pair of hands at low pay. Kaminari knew that Solas was one of the best Kidō users in the Gotei 13, so she had no problem bouncing ideas off of her and getting some pointers. She even watched a few of Solas' training sessions to try and get better herself.
However, Solas was an interesting woman. Kaminari and her have the strangest relationship. Kaminari both cares for and hates Solas. This is because Solas' tits are fucking massive and she has no problem, quite literally, rubbing them in Kaminari's face. One day, Kaminari snapped and yelled at her, but Solas thought it was cute when she was mad! Kaminari only got madder when she realized that and just asked Solas how her breasts were so fucking massive. Solas must not have thought Kaminari serious about wanting to know because she tossed out a joke that Kaminari took completely serious. Kaminari now rubs her breasts for twenty minutes each night just so they'd grow. Damn it, Solas...
The Silver Haired Shinigami: Genpaku Arishima: (1925-1930)
During her time working with Solas Foiche, Kaminari learned quite a lot. She blended in with the other Shinigami pretty well and no one seemed to question why she was never carrying her sword. One day, Kaminari took one hell of a risk. She snuck out on a mission with a group of people because she wanted some combat experience. However, everything took a bad turn. The hollow the group was sent to kill were more powerful than the report implied. Most of the group was taken out very quickly and killed right in front of her. Before she had a chance to react, Kaminari had a hollow's horn shred violently through the skin along her stomach and she began to bleed out. She was going to die.
Kaminari was saved by the other surviving member of the group. His name was Genpkau Arishima and Kaminari first noticed his silver hair. It was... pretty and he was strong. Kaminari watched in awe when this Silver Haired Shinigami destroyed the hollow that had annihilated everyone else. Once the hollow was defeated, Genpaku turned to her and called her out on her bullshit. She wasn't even part of their squad and he knew it. He patched her up so she'd stop losing blood and picked her up to carry her back to the fourth. Kaminari admitted to him that she wasn't part of the squad and then begged him not to tell anyone. She just wasn't ready to join the Gotei officially yet. She didn't really know why.
Genpaku asked what squad she was actually from and completely disagreed when he realized she wasn't even a member of the Gotei 13. She immediately regretted being honest with someone for the first time. She tried to convince him otherwise, but the talk just turned into a full on argument. She promised not to do something like that again, but he still disagreed. She told him she did plan on joining, but not yet and he still disagreed. With that, Kaminari decided that she wasn't going back then. She'd stay in the world of the living. He told her it'd be safer than her trying to be a Shinigami without knowing the basics, but she corrected him on that. Kaminari did know the basics.
Genpaku tried to tell her to just join; she'd be done sooner than everyone else at Shino Academy anyways! Kaminari just wasn't ready. Genpaku gave in at the perfect time. Kaminari was feeling faint because of the loss of blood and felt like she was going to pass out. He told her that he'll keep her secret if she kept his. He didn't want anyone to know about his second sword's shikai. Kaminari agreed without hesitation and the two had a deal. With that settled and Kaminari not having to worry about her secrets being revealed, Kaminari returned with Genpaku to the Soul Society. Of course, he had to carry her unconscious body and took her to the Fourth Division after losing a lot of blood.
Enter Midori Hayashi: The Miracle Healer (Same as previous: 1925-1930)
Kaminari met the Captain of the Fourth Division. The woman was a beauty and had a chest as large as Solas', so Kaminari was automatically annoyed with her. However, after talking with her for a while, Kaminari realized that Midori was awesome. The two quickly became close over Kaminari's stay in the Fourth. Kaminari was surprised to have Midori offer to remove the scar on her stomach, but Kaminari chose otherwise. She wanted the wound closed, not gone. It took her a couple days to recover from her injury and during this time, Kaminari admitted to Midori that she wasn't a part of the Gotei. The lack of hard file had already let Midori know. Since then, the two of them have been close.
Enter Kei Makabe: The Teacher's Recluse (Same as previous: 2009-2013)
Throughout the previous years, Kaminari had kept her promise to Genpaku Arishima by not doing anything so stupidly reckless. She kept working on random jobs throughout the Divisions and keeping in contact with both Genpaku and Daigoro, her two closest friends. However, it was finally time for her to move on, so she felt comfortable enough to enroll in Shino Academy to finally join the Gotei. Needless to say, with the amount of time she had practice and her previous years of actually watching classes, everything came pretty easily to Kaminari. She had already known the basics and ended up shining in class as a prodigy of sorts, but she knew the truth. Kaminari just couldn't tell the truth.
Because of her "quick study," Kaminari took classes in half the time, proving to have known enough to pass. She outclassed just about everyone and people looked up to her, but knowing that she had kind of cheated made it less glorified in her mind. She avoided people a lot because of this and became a bit of a recluse herself. In doing so, she met a woman by the name of Kei Makabe, one of the teacher's assistants for an advanced class and a Third Seat within the Gotei. Kaminari was already impressed by Kei because of her position and tried talking to her. The two became close throughout her years at Shino Academy, but Kaminari was horribly blind to the fact that Kei had a crush on her.
Kaminari learned that Kei had a problem with the dark. Kei never admitted it, Kaminari just noticed it. Kei always seemed nervous while out at night. Since she realized this, she chose to help her friend out and decided to walk the woman home at the times she'd be out late. This continued happening for the next few years, up until Kaminari graduated and was placed in her Division. Kaminari actually requested to be in the Tenth Division just so she could follow Genpaku Arishima around. He was one of her closest friends. Kaminari thought about joining Daigoro's squad, but decided against it when she realized the Tenth also catered to her desire to hang out in the World of the Living more often.
A Woman Worth Saving: (2015 - Present Time)
Kaminari made a mistake when she told Dai to just go home. After a strange drunken night at a bar, where the two fought together and even shared a kiss, Kaminari went for a walk alone. She was kidnapped by a group of Arrancar that took her to Lasciel, a woman who was desperate to find Dai. To protect him, Kaminari said nothing and was tortured and poisoned. After hours of this, Kaminari stayed unconscious and woke up a few days later with Genpaku sitting at her side. She got the information on what occurred and realized that Genpaku, Kei, Midori, and Daigoro had saved her. Everyone was okay, except Dai had been hurt badly. He had fallen into a coma and stayed like that for eleven months.
