Toshiro Hitsugaya

Affiliation

The captain of the 10th Division in the Gotei 13

Appearence

Hitsugaya is short being barely over four feet tall, with turquoise eyes and short, spiked, white hair, which tends to draw attention in the Human World. He wears a standard sleeveless captain's haori with a green sash around his shoulders, held together by a round, star-like clip. The sash holds his Zanpakutō's sheath in place on his back and is tied to it at either end. He sometimes walks around in his tabi. He is relatively young by Shinigami standards, and has the appearance of a child despite being 130 years old.

Personality

Toshiro is generally mature and serious, easily annoyed by others goofing off and slacking. He mainly dislikes anything that he deems childish as well as being described as something close to a child, such as being deemed as akin to an elementary school child; other things he's not fond of are summer and warm weather in general. He's incredibly hard working and holds others to that same standard, taking his title of "Captain" very seriously and demands respect. He's very protective of his loved ones and the Sould Society as a whole, willing to put himself into any danger to protect them.

Backstory

Hitsugaya comes from the province of Junrinan in the 1st District of West Rukongai.There, he lived with his grandmother and Momo Hinamori. As a young child, Hitsugaya was a bit of a brat who liked to eat watermelons and poke fun at his sister Hinamori. His grandmother, "Granny," and Hinamori were the only ones in the district that weren't afraid of him. His personality was supposedly "cold as ice" or at least thought to be, and he often wondered if it was due to his appearance or attitude. He later meets Rangiku who convinces him to become a Soul Reaper, afraid that if he can't control his powers he'll kill his grandmother. With Hitsugaya's natural talent, he quickly entered the Shinigami Academy and graduated early despite his age. After quickly climbing through the ranks over time, he takes the position of Captain of the 10th Division after the previous one ran away.

Abilities

Despite his age, Hitsugaya has great instinct and intuition in battle. He is generally aware of everything in his presence, and is also able to see through most deceptions. Hitsugaya is masterful at swordsmanship, capable of utilizing his size to effectively counter and outmaneuver his opponents. Tōshirō is highly proficient in Kidō, being able to erect a powerful barrier without an incantation. He is able to weild his Zanpakto with ease, the blade being named Hyorinmaru. When sealed, Hyōrinmaru looks like a normal katana with the exception of the guard, which is in the shape of a four-pointed bronze-colored star. Hyōrinmaru is the strongest of all ice-element Zanpakutō in Soul Society. Hyōrinmaru allows Hitsugaya to control water and ice. His slashes create an immense amount of spiritual power which overflows from the tip of the blade, creating a flow of ice shaped like a Chinese dragon. He can shift his ice to any shape and size, able to freeze his opponents with ease or slash them with incredibly sharp ice blades.
