Shizuka Akane

Shizuka Akane is the captain of the Third Division. Her lieutenant is Izuru Kira.

Information
She was once the Third Seated Officer.

Personality
She behaves calmly, and is usually cold and unapproachable. However, this changes abruptly when she is around friends, laughing and fooling around. Her behavior also changes when she is around the former captain. She is then able to focus on anything, unless it is on the battlefield. Her strength fades, and she becomes a shy and embarrassed creature. She hates Rangiku Matsumoto - she will pay any price to be rid of her incompetence. She strives for excellence in the eyes of the masters and her own.

Appearance
She has a fair complexion, as well as red hair and eyes. Her Shinigami attire is a short yukata, and she wears long sandals and gloves as decoration.

Powers and Abilities
Because of her behavior, she appears very strong. This is not a false statement, because Shizuka certainly deserves the rank of captain or even a very good lieutenant. She is skilled in Kidō, but only uses it for defense. She has no problems sensing reiatsu, but she is still not a master.
