Description:
Personality:
Appreciative - Tsuyuri is easily attracted to anything he deems beautiful, and that may be too many things. It's merely because of his appreciation towards them all for existing, and he is ever grateful to be surrounded by them. Though, when it comes to appreciating people, he might sound like he's courting for them with amorous words, often leading to such misunderstanding.
Invasive - So he has interest in you? If he does, it's hard for him to hold back from taking your hands or touching your face. He has no harmful means, nor would he be doing it on purpose to flirt. It's just his form of expressiveness to tell you he is happy of your existence.
Observant - His eyes are always watching so thoroughly, paying attention to details. It's not because he's trying to analyze people or everything around him, but it is his intention to take in and witness everything he can while he's still in a good enough state to walk around.
Humble & modest - It is a habit for Tsuyuri to put himself down before everyone else, because it was a form of his discipline. And on top of that, he respects others sincerely, no matter the difference. Perhaps though, he should know his own values, even just a little.
Polite speech - Another form of Tsuyuri's discipline that he was raised is his polite manners when addressing or referring to someone else. Perhaps it's another thing that tells you he respects others so much, but it may also be his core habit.
Poetic - One more of his habit in expressing the beautiful surrounding that entices him, he tends to compose a poem out of thin air when inspired. He doesn't do this as often though, perhaps only towards one that touched him deeply enough to actually make him feel it would change him.
Pacifist - This should be expected, for someone who hates violence. Tsuyuri always tries to find other resolves that would prevent violent outbreaks. Though, of course, he would only ensure he'll continue trying if it would benefit both sides instead of just one.
Complexity - The lad has the tendency to long for something that he prefers the otherwise. He is often in self conflict, at one time wishing he'd rather go back to his cage than roaming the world as a free bird, while at another time he's more satisfied being freed from the cage. However, he usually keeps this issue to himself.
L I K E S
Plum Blossoms - Tsuyuri has fierce attachment towards plum blossoms, to the point that he prays if the time of his passing comes, he'd wish to be burried under one in order to become a part of them. He also refers to them as his salvation.
Literature - Being isolated for 130 years, Tsuyuri's accompany of leisure, aside from the beautiful surrounding, was literature, despite the subject being one of the forms of his strict education to develop his arts of tea brewing. He has the habit to drown in a trance when reading or listening to a recital of one.
Leisure activities - Unfortunately, he doesn't have a very active build, heavy exercises can wear him out a little too fast. However, he fully enjoys slower activities, such as lovely strolls, flower arranging, etc.
Hot spring - Relaxation can heal the body and the soul, and that's important to Tsuyuri due to a couple of reasons. He loves soaking in a hot spring to wash and drain away all the physical and mental burdens.
Sightseeing - Of course, the young lad can be easily impressed by great sceneries. It delights him to see them, proving that he is seeing the world instead of being caged in one place--and of course, the beauty.
Sky viewing & Stargazing - Tsuyuri always appreciates his surrounding, so long there is something for him to appreciate. Being able to watch the ever-changing sky is always considered as a blessing to him, but this is also why Tsuyuri doesn't sleep as much as other people in general.
Pretty things - Other pretty things. People, objects, speech, and... whatever. He strangely and easily finds so many things as beautiful in their own ways. If you're a person, be prepared for an earful of his appreciation.
D I S L I K E S
Sea sailing - No, he doesn't hate the ocean. He loves it--gazing at it that is. Do not put him on a ship/boat/raft, because. He. Will. Freak. He'd love to keep his feet on a firm ground without that swaying effect.
Intense Heat - Tsuyuri is rather weak towards heated climates and weather, it's rather easy for him to get a heatstroke. The reason why he keeps a mantle over his head and body was so he can prevent himself from getting direct contact with the sun too much.
Medication - Indeed, he is on an ongoing medication. Although he hates to have it, he always brings a medicine around for consumption when necessary. He prefers not to, because it makes him feel as if he's an incapable person.
Barren areas - These areas often remind him of home, or the feeling when he was there before he started appreciating the beautiful sceneries. They remind him of the time when he had a void feeling of being isolated, where nothing around him could move his heart.
Violence - As much as possible, Tsuyuri prefers to avoid these things. He doesn't find a point in it, and believes it does no good to either side, nor does it give proper resolve to anything. To him, it's just something unworthy to engage. Nevertheless, he understands there will be a need to engage in it if he is cornered without any other ways.
Sleeping in - Beautiful dreams are always great, but the lad prefers to experience reality as much as he can while he lives, especially while he's able to roam freely. Whenever he happens to wake up later than usual, he would move out in a rush in order to make up for the time lost.

History:
Tsuyuri was raised isolated from the civilization, caged in his home that was surrounded by plum trees deep within a forest mountain. He was under strict surveillance and discipline commanded by his father within that very house for the sole purpose of him to concentrate fully on developing his own essence, and only that. During this period, Tsuyuri became dependant on the scenery of the plum trees that surrounded him in order to appease his mind, where slight instability had arose due to the strict upbringing and isolation. He appreciated the company of the plum trees more than anything, whether they were in full bloom or in hibernation. Overtime, he was naturally captivated by the beauty of their scenery, and it influenced him to easily yet deeply appreciate everything that he deems beautiful, believing they were the only things that kept him company, and sane, throughout his life of isolation. Eventually, Tsuyuri was freed from his cage when turning (13) 130 of age, only after undergoing his successful Tea Ceremony and bestowed with the title of a Royal.
E X T R A
(Illness)
Psychosomatic illness - Due to the mental pressure he experienced in his early years, Tsuyuri developed a psychosomatic illness that weakens his neural endurance a great deal. He's easily overwhelmed when he experiences an overload through any of his five senses (and maybe sixth), eg. hearing too many different noises at once, or seeing too many grotesque things at once. When such events occur, it might result him to having a light seizure or losing consciousness. Fortunately, this illness doesn't affect his stamina and endurance in traveling
Minimum consumption - This may be a post-result of the illness, but Tsuyuri has discomfort in consuming food or drinks. He consumes just enough to keep himself going and maybe in good enough health, but this might also be the reason why Tsuyuri's physique is rather skinny and a little underweight. Still, this doesn't trouble him at all.

Zanpakutou
Name: Shiraume
Spirit Form: Tsuyuri's Zanpakuto spirit is that of a silver stag. Upon the tips of the horns plum blossoms are growing from it. The body of Shiraume is very lean almost sickly lean also mirroring Tsuyuri's sickly body.
Sealed Form:
In sealed form has a black blade and handle and cover are lavender. Upon the handle of the sword hangs plastic blossom petals. The guard itself is a detailed flower design. Even in sealed form the smell of the plum blossoms flow from its blade.
Shikai
Call Out Phrase: Branch out Shiraume
Appearance: Shiraume's black blade glows a pale lavender once the full blade is glowing the blade retracts back into the handle. Then branches spring out each entangled within each other. The branches still keep the pale glow to them. Upon the branches many upon many plum blossoms bloom on them.
Abilities:
Branch entanglement: If Tsuyuri channels enough reishi into the handle of sword he can then control then branches accordingly. This is a offensive move which is something Tsuyuri will only do if he is cornered. He can make the branches extend outward with the branches he can turn them into a sword of tightly bond branches. Or he could extend them outward and use them to entangle his foe. Or possible into whips.
Aromatherapy: This is Tsuyuri main use of his Shikia. When this happens the pollen from the blossoms upon his branches are released. The pollen turns into what appears to be a cloud of red dust. The pollen covers a ally that is hurt and tries to use concentrated reishi in the air to heal a wound. The more reishi the quicker the healing process.
Toxic Mist: This is used if he is in the process of healing someone and then is cornered by many foes. The red cloud then turns pink. If the opponents skin gets in contact with the pollen it gives a felling of a burning sensation. This pollen if breathed in could cause the foe to lose control of small body parts the more breathed in the more deadly the pollen is.
Bankai
Call Out Phrase: Root down Shiraume
Appearance: Tsuyuri's blade disappears completely leaving solely the handle. In place of the blade a huge (15 foot) plum blossom tree grows rapidly behind him.
Abilities:
Forestry: This is one of Shiraume most powerful skills. This skill is similar to bacteria as the tree Tsuyuri creates multiple trees. This happens if a single blossom form the tree falls to the ground. The blossom once touching the ground gets absorbed into the ground seconds later a new tree is born exactly the same size of the last. This skill is primary used to help on a huge battlefield to help heal a large scale of injured people. But the mass reproduction could also be used as a stealthy hide out. As one single tree Tsuyuri starts with can blossom into 100 within a hour.
Advanced Aromatherapy: Similar to the Shikai version.
Last Resort: This skill is used as a last resort meaning Tsuyuri knows he is going to die. Using this skill and living through it will make him unable to use his bankai ever again. Each flower on the tree(s) separate from the branches. The flowers turn into a pink sphere once they turn into a sphere the trees die the spheres then shot off like arrows leaving a sparkly pink trail behind them.

Name: Tenteikūra (天挺空羅, Heavenly Rickshaws in Silken Air; Viz "Heavenly Charged Sky Net")
Number: Bakudō #77
Incantation: "Black and white net. Twenty-two bridges, sixty-six crowns and belts. Footprints, distant thunder, sharp peak, engulfing land, hidden in the night, sea of clouds, blue line. Form a circle and fly though the heavens." ("黒白の羅！二十二の橋梁 六十六の冠帯 足跡・遠雷・尖峰・回地・夜伏・雲海・蒼い隊列 太円に満ちて天を挺れはし", "Kokubyaku no ami! Nijūni no kyōryō, rokujūroku no kantai. Ashiato, enrai, senpō, kaichi, yafuku, unkai, aoi tairetsu. Taien ni michite ten o hashire!")
Effect: Tenteikūra is primarily used for communication. The practioner draws symbols upon his/her arms, hands and the ground using a black powder. The practioner then places his/her palms away in front and generates a glowing rectangular box. He/She then inacts various movements of the hands to create various root-like extensions in the air which connect to the glowing rectangle. Upon once again placing his/her hands up to the rectangle and activating the spell the root-like extensions glow creating a network extending out from the rectangle. The spell transmits messages mentally to anyone within an area of the caster's choosing. In addition to reciting the spell, the user must draw specific markings on their arms, which are animated by the spell to convey the messages. The messages can be spoken either by the caster or by another within the vicinity of the caster.
Name: Tozanshō (倒山晶, Inverse Mountain Crystal)
Number: Bakudō # 73
Incantation: Unknown
Effect: Tozanshō is primarily used for defense. The spell ignites at a single point as blue energy and extends upward from four points and creates a inverted pyramid that solidifies into a barrier around the caster. The spell is usable around other already active spells. It can also be used to trap people inside of it.

Effect: Kakushituikaku is primarily used for tracking and locating any spiritual force the user focuses on. The practitioner draws a circle with the appropriate symbols set apart in four quadrants upon the ground using a black powder. They then place their hands palms down just under the circle to activate the spell. The circle glows with a blue light as the symbols are animated within the circle, causing various numbers to appear within until the specific set is found. The number set seems to be a variation on longitude and latitude.
Name: Hyapporankan (百歩欄干, Hundred Steps Fence)
Number: Bakudō #62
Incantation: Unknown
Effect: Hyapporankan is primarily used to disable. The practitioner generates a blue-white glowing rod of energy in his/her hand and throws it at the intended target.
