Etsu design (C) Moi :3

The little chibi however was an idea I had while watching
Resident Evil 4. She doesn't actually have tentacles and sharp little teeth under her mask lol

Name: Etsu Tahara
age: looks about 22, is about 200.
Captain of Squad 2
Female
she has short white/gray hair with emerald green eyes. She has a bit of an attitude but will always obey her orders, with a few complaints here and there. She is a bit on the 'to skinny' side, and as a point she never eats around anyone. she prefers to eat alone. She weighs an unbelievable 90 lbs. She is very frail looking, several bones visible. Her spine and shoulders being one, along with her wrists. She is required to go to squad four every other week for a check up to make sure she is still healthy. She doesn't purposefully starve herself, she's just never hungry.

she has no family ties any more and few friends. She doesn't understand the concept of 'Love' or 'Feelings' all to much, having gone into a deep depression after her mother died when she was 10. Her father was executed before she could even walk or talk. When her mother died she went to live with her grandparents (nobles) who really wanted nothing to do with the mixed blood grandchild. ((her mother was noble, her father was from the rukongai))

She uses Kido more often then her Zanpaktou but is still well experienced with her sword.

The scars on her neck are from when she had just entered the ranks of squad two. She was training with Kumo no Su when she got tangled in her own wires. Had her captain not found her, she would have hung to death in the spiked wires. She also has several scars down her arms and wrists from her shikai's state and some on her abdomen. The wires are as much of a threat to her as they are to the enemy.

Her inner world is a dark place with little or no light source. Spider webs of all sizes are around the area. Only one spider inhabits it though. Kumo is a very large white arachnid with black spider web designs all over his Thorax. However he very rarily lets himself be seen, even by etsu. He hides amongst his webs. He doesn't talk much but when he does it is a low hushed whisper that is very dark. Seeing as how spiders do not have developed vocal cords like humans, Etsu doesn't really complain.

Shikai- Kumo No Su ((spiders web)): -Ensnare them, Kumo no Su-
Sword unravels into cell width/lengthed wires that spread around the battle ground. Wires are sturdy and do not break easily. They have tiny hooks on them that catch onto anything that comes into contact with them. Etsu has control over the wires movements, as if they were an extra limb or extension of one. The wires are wrapped around her wrist in this state, giving her more control, but also causing harm to her body. The wires tear up the skin along her arm, however they heal within hours, leaving behind only thin whitish pink lines

Bankai: Sorera O Karamanai Kumo No Su ((Tangle them)): Giant metal cocoon made out of the wires envelopes Etsu and whatever enemy. Wires are strewn all over the inside, making it hard to move around without getting cut and sliced. A toxin moves around within the cocoon, being released from the wires that dulls and slows the senses. In this stage the wires do not connect to her body, thus slowing the movements. Due to the fact there are so many, their numbers make up for their speed. The wires weave together to make a cocoon around Etsu if she needs to be protected. Electric type zanpaktou's/kidous would light the inside up like a light bulb, every wire becoming charged. This makes it a danger not only for the enemy, but Etsu herself.

Weakness:  Like a spider with a bug, she can only go after one person at a time. She is not good at multple enemies.
