Character history- As many children in Soul Society did, Rangiku grew up on the harsh streets of Rukongai. Her first memory was a voice telling her to eat, actually. She opened her eyes to see a boy offering her a dried persimmon. This boy had a very strange name and an odd personality, but she wasn't about to get picky. Ichimaru Gin and Matsumoto Rangiku were near-to inseparable as they grew up. However, he was the one who taught her the most about living where they did in the slums. In time, she grew to be an accomplished thief thanks to the tutelage of her partner.

His presence made her happy. It made her feel like she had a family. In fact, one day, they decided that Rangiku's birthday would be on the day they first met.

However, one cold morning, Rangiku awoke to find that her dear friend was not by her side. He had left in the middle of the night.

They met again after Rangiku graduated from the Shinigami academy and secured a spot in the Gotei 13. Gin had changed-- as she expected -- now the fukutaichou of Gobantai under a very, very talented man. She stayed in her own division with her Taichou. The diamond in the rough was polished to brilliance, showing an aptitude for blade work and the intricate dance involved in such things. Her personality was wicked but never mean, and she gained many friends with her open heart, but there was a spot saved for one and one alone. She was thrilled to be offered a seat so quickly, settling into her spot with ease and grace.

Her old taichou retired after his long service and she knew she was a shoe in for the spot, but she was shocked when another was placed above her. At first, she was distant from the young captain, but over time, her respect and admiration grew. After a while, they were among the closest teams the 13 Squads had, seamless in battle and complimentary in most other things. She found happiness in her place and never expected it to change, but change came when the three captains betrayed them all.

Her own silver fox had left her behind and for a long time, her grief poured from a sake bottle along with the tears in the dark that no one could see. In the daylight, she remained strong and steady, always with her captain; forever loyal. As the pain of treachery grew dull, she had settled into yet another routine; helping her captain with the decimated divisions, directing her own in his stead and running missions in the lower world when time allowed. Her smile returned, but it was tempered by a darker shine to her eyes.

She kept herself busy so the memory of garnet eyes and an apology wouldn't haunt her.


Character personality- As far as her personality goes, Rangiku is very approachable and bubbly. She adores people and is quite possibly one of the most social shinigami in Soul Society. Her favorite hobby is going out to drink with other officers and partying. She has a terrible habit of stashing her alcohol around the Juuban office.. For her Taichou to find to his EXTREME distaste at times. She gets scolded for it, but never learns.

Rangiku does not particularly enjoy doing boring paper work. Anything boring, in general, really. She tends to sleep on the job, leaving Hitsugaya to do everything. Her relationship with him is something of one a brother and sister would have. She annoys him and he shoos her away, but they care for each other very much.

Though she may be a little lazy and a little too carefree, Rangiku is very loyal and cares for her Taichou. She will compromise her own safety to protect him and knows when to be serious in certain situations.

However, she is stuck dealing with an emotional attachment to Ichimaru Gin that was formed when they were children. His habit of 'leaving without telling anyone' hit her rather hard when he left for Hueco Mundo and actually wound up apologizing for it. Most mentions of him make her react in different ways. She may drink heavily and outwardly insult him or she will get extremely depressed.


Character abilities- Considering her rank as fukutaichou of Juubantai, Rangiku is capable of performing most kidou techniques. However, most of these techniques in the Digital World will be watered down or eliminated from her repertoire completely to adhere to the rule that she must be as strong as an Adult-Level Digimon.

Every shinigami has the ability to use 'shunpo'. Shunpo is the ability to walk on air, basically. They can move fast enough to walk on air particles and remain relatively invisible to the naked eye.

Finally, Rangiku has a zanpakutou. The zanpakutou is an extension of the soul that comes in the form of a sword. Rangiku carries Haineko, a chisa katana with a stylized triangular guard mimicking a cat’s head. An accomplished swordswoman, her reach and power are enhanced when she calls her zanpakutou’s shikai with the phrase “Unare.” The first level of the shikai release makes Haineko’s blade dissolve into razor sharp particles of ash, hence the name. The ash is capable of cutting through most material and surfaces with ease, making Haineko an adept long range weapon. A secondary shikai release, not as often seen, coalesces the ash into a large gray wildcat, similar to a cougar. This is the physical embodiment of Haineko’s spirit and can be found at times in the company of her wielder.
