Name: Sode No Shirayuki
Appearance:
In its sealed form, Sode no Shirayuki is a normal katana. It has a rectangular tsuba with a vaguely flame-like pattern on the long sides and a curved line on the short sides, inward-curved corners with curved slits above and below the blade, and a series of curved lines embossed on either side of the blade. It has a reddish-brown hilt.
Its Shikai command is "Dance" (舞え, mae). Esdeath holds her Zanpakutō out in front of her and turns it in a circle counter-clockwise. While she is turning it, the blade, hilt, and tsuba turn completely white. The tsuba becomes a hollow snowflake-like circle, and a white ribbon forms from the pommel. Sode no Shirayuki is regarded as one of the most beautiful Zanpakutō in the ninja world,The transformation is accompanied by a rush of cold air in all directions.
Rank:
Regular and Shikai-A
Special Abilities:
Sode no Shirayuki possesses multiple techniques, labeled as "dances" by Esdeath. Besides ice techniques, Sode no Shirayuki's general ability is freezing. Sode no Shirayuki can freeze a target from a distance, or used in a different manner, create a path or platform of ice in midair. Sode no Shirayuki does not actually spread coldness from its blade; its actual ability is to bring the body temperature of its wielder to a temperature below freezing. As a result, anything its wielder touches freezes, the sword itself merely increasing their reach. Due to this power, Esdeath is capable of momentarily "killing" her body by controlling her own Reishi, putting herself in a form of cryostasis. She completely stops all the molecules in her body, preventing any material or substance attempting to affect her from doing so because it cannot enter her body. However, if someone uses an optical attack on her, it will affect her because her nerves are still working. Esdeath can lower her body temperature to a point at which the ground below her feet freezes instantly, causing ice quakes, and can even reduce her temperature to absolute zero, though she can only safely maintain this temperature for no more than four seconds. However, when raising the temperature from absolute zero, Esdeath has to do so slowly or risk harming her own body.
1 post for absolute zero state, 4 post cooldown
Some no mai, Tsukishiro: Esdeath calls out the name of the dance while holding her Zanpakutō upside down. The blade glows, and she makes a slashing motion when her target is in position. When she does this, she draws a circle with the tip of Sode no Shirayuki. The space within that circle and anything inside freezes. The circle not only freezes the ground, but everything within the circle's influence, including anything above it in the air, creating an extending pillar of light which freezes all within the circle. Shortly after being frozen, the victim shatters along with the ice. The ice pillar will not shatter if the victim is not caught within it.
Someone with strength equal or higher than the rank of the blade may shatter the ice before it breaks them. Someone with health equal to or higher than the rank will not be shattered, but will feel compression all over their body,this results in the lowering of the targets health by one rank and speed by two. 1 post duration, 2 post cooldown. Radius of the pillar/circle is 1 meter. Speed of the formation is 1 rank above the weapon's.
Tsugi no mai, Hakuren: Esdeath , calling out the name of the dance, punctures the ground once, creating a large ice circle, similar to the first dance. She punctures the ground in front of her four times in a semi circle. As ice particles begin to flow up from the punctures she made in the ground, she takes a battle stance. The particles, building up at the tip of Sode no Shirayuki, are released as a large, powerful avalanche of cold air. It flash freezes whatever it comes into contact with, encasing it in ice.
Charge time is 1 post. Strength/health equal or higher than the rank of the weapon may shatter/survive the ice. Freezing air is launched out in a cone, going fifteen meters from the blade, with a 45 degree angle in front of the blade. Duration is 1 post, with a 3 post cooldown. Those who do survive comes out with Debuff of Health and Speed By Two Ranks Due to the Freezing Temperature.
San no mai, Shirafune: Esdeath calls out the name of the dance, which allows her to gather moisture in the air to the tip of Sode no Shirayuki, creating a blade of ice. This makes it possible to augment the length of the blade. After piercing its target, it continues to freeze any surrounding objects and the immediate area.
The blade is equal to the rank of Sode No Shirayuki, ranging from 2ft in length, to 7ft in length. The freezing affect can be resisted with health equal or higher than the rank of the blade. Lowers health by one rank if used on the target successfully.
Juhaku: Esdeath stabs the ground, which creates a trail of ice in the direction of her intended target. The ice freezes the target from the base up, in a continuing freezing process, as it transforms the target into ice.
The freezing affect can be resisted with health equal or higher than the rank of the blade. The ice trail may only go up to 10m from the user. This results in a Debuff of two ranks for health and one rank for speed.
Ice-Rope Connection: If Esdeath can't reach her sword, she can create an ice extension to connect her hand to the sword hilt, which allows her to use Sode no Shirayuki's Shikai abilities at a distance.
The rope may only be up to 5 meters long, and extends the range of the abilities by however long the rope is.
