NAME: Orihime Inoue
CANON: Bleach
CANON POINT: Post-Hueco Mundo arc, Pre-xCutioner arc
AGE: 16
BACKGROUND: https://bleach.fandom.com/wiki/Orihime_Inoue

PERSONALITY: There are very few people that Orihime doesn't get along with. She's polite, thoughtful, and quick to give earnest compliments at whatever she admires. She has a knack for making friends, even able to cause the grumpiest and most reticent people to warm up to her. Orihime's a great friend who works hard to look after people, whether it's trying to cheer them up, or leaving them bags of extra bread that she's allowed to take home from the bakery. She's a good listener, agreeable almost to a fault, and a hard worker. She also does her best not to take anything for granted, because she knows how uncertain life can be, and that the people she cares for could be gone the next day. Because of this, she strives to make each moment memorable, and lives each day to the fullest. This contributes to her adventurous spirit and bravery in the face of danger.

The trait Orihime seems to value the most is a sense of humor, and she adores people and things that make her laugh. She claims her initial admiration for Ichigo is because of his perpetually angry eyebrows. She also named her teddy bear after a Japanese comedian, and is constantly coming up with ways to entertain and amuse her friends. Her ridiculous sense of humor is often mistaken for ditziness, when in truth she just thinks she's being funny (such as managing to track Ichigo down and passing into a barrier she really wasn't supposed to pass, and breaking the tension by asking where the bathroom is). She gets comedically depressed when Urahara's bloody message indicates that someone who thought this looked like something out of a horror movie had no sense of humor. She doesn't react much when people mention her beauty or abnormally curvy body, but if she's told she's funny or helpful, it'll put her over the moon.

Though Orihime's cheer and humor make her appear derpy, she's very intelligent and creative. She has the ability to learn new skills quickly, even faster than the rest of her friends when they're taught to send their spiritual energy into the spheres at the Shiba household. Her grades are exceptional, and she ranked third out of her grade level on her tests. Part of this is due to her hard work, as the money she receives from her aunt is based on her grades, but she's also got the brains to make it to the top. She's demonstrated her quick thinking when paired with Uryuu Ishida in the Soul Society, and suggests that they can move around more easily if they disguise themselves as shinigami. She also adapts surprisingly well to situations that would cause stress and confusion to most people, something Yoruichi remarks upon when Orihime eagerly pursues an opportunity to train and make use of her newly-awakened abilities.

Not only is she cagey, she's also shown that most of the time she's incredibly perceptive. She's one of the few who recognizes that Ishida isn't a bad person from the very beginning, and seems to get along with him far better than the others. Orihime is particuarly keen for recognizing when her friends are upset or sad, even when they try to hide it with a smile. But this isn't always the case. There are times when she's way off the mark, like when she states that Ishida must be in love with Rukia because he made her such a cute dress. She also seems oblivious to Ishida's affection for her, just because she's so focused on Ichigo.

And that leads to some of Orihime's greatest flaws, which she absolutely has in spades. For one thing, her tunnel vision for Ichigo can cause her to be reckless in her zeal to protect and help him, which has resulted in some very serious injuries that nearly killed her. She also winds up neglecting Tatsuki when she's depressed because Orihime's more focused on trying to figure out how to help Ichigo and fight Aizen.

Orihime carries a lot of admiration for her friends, which sometimes spills over into envy. She gets frustrated when she's told to stay out of a fight, wishing desperately to be as strong as the others so she doesn't have to be a burden to them. Usually she compliments people on qualities that she wishes she had, describing Rukia as beautiful and graceful, the perfect woman. When she confesses her jealousy of Rukia to Rangiku, she calls herself disgusting, and breaks down in tears. Her feelings are never malicious in nature, she certainly doesn't hate Rukia or anyone else. She just feels inferior to them and pushes herself extra hard in an attempt to keep up with them.

In the deepest parts of her personality, Orihime is surprisingly insecure. Despite her good looks and her admirers (which she doesn't seem to realize she has), she beats herself up over her flaws and mistakes, and is quick to make self-deprecating remarks about her clumsiness or her weight. Orihime's more negative feelings (sadness, loneliness, fear) aren't something she likes to admit, most likely due to her childhood habits of hiding her problems at school from her brother -- she didn't want him to worry about her when he was already working so hard and sacrificing so much to take care of her. She also seems to have carried over residual guilt from fighting with her brother the night before he died, which manifests in a strong aversion to contention and fighting so she doesn't say something she might later regret. When someone does recognize and point out that she's faking her cheer, she'll sheepishly come clean, but more often than not she tries not to give other people a reason to worry about her. So she'll put on a smile, make dumb jokes, and keep herself busy to avoid becoming depressed. Most of the time she's pretty good at it, but she does have her rare moments where she completely breaks.

POWERS/ABILITIES: Orihime is sensitive to spiritual/supernatural power, and is adept at detecting it, noting how strong it is, and even identifying people by their spiritual signature (their 'reiatsu') to the point where she can pinpoint their location.

Her most notable abilities come from the six spirits that dwell in her hairpins. They show up as distinctly different in appearance and personality, but all of them seem to be aspects of Orihime's own soul rather than separate entities. Using them in certain combinations allows her access to four separate abilities. The first, by using Tsubaki, is her only purely offensive abilitity. He creates a shield that splits a target in two, and it's pretty much an insta-kill if used correctly. The second (and most notable) ability is her power to reject an event. It was first confused for healing, as she used it to repair wounds initially. This power was more accurately identified as an ability to restore someone or something within a limited space to a previous and complete state, so it's more temporal regression rather than straight up healing. It doesn't leave any scars, and doesn't seem limited to how long ago the damaging event occurred. She's grown strong enough with this power to restore missing limbs and even restore the dead to life if the soul is still present (obviously she can't just go around resurrecting King Tut and raising up whole graveyards). The only true inhibitor is foreign spiritual matter as this can make the rejection much more difficult or even impossible for her. Her third and fourth ability revolve around her ability to raise up a shield to prevent damage; by adding Tsubaki to this, she not only blocks damage but reflects it back upon the attacker. Again, this shield isn't so much a physical blockade as it is a rejection of an event from happening. She's used this shield to cushion herself and others from a fall from a great height.

Naturally there are limits and flaws to her powers. The biggest one is that her abilities aren't as strong when she lacks confidence and conviction...something she doesn't have a lot of in the first place. If she's angry or incredibly determined, she's much more successful. Otherwise, if she's emotionally compromised, her defending shield can shatter, and Tsubaki can be cut down, injured, or even destroyed, and it takes her a lot of time and effort to restore him. Her hairpins contain her abilities, and they aren't that sturdy, so if they're destroyed or damaged it will impact her abilities severely or even cut them off completely. Player permission is also required for her to use her healing abilities (the insta-kill too but that goes without saying), or rather, to NOT use them since some players like for their characters to keep their scars, illnesses, curses, etc. and who am I to ruin someone's fun? There will be an opt-out posted, and all I ask is that they not constantly call attention to their affliction since it would be really OOC for Orihime not to want to help someone if they're obviously suffering.

INVENTORY: Obviously her hairpins! If possible, even though it'd be unlikely for her to be holding it, I'd love it if she could show up with her brother's picture too so she can keep telling him all about her exciting adventures.

CANON INFORMATION

CHARACTER NAME: Orihime Inoue
CANON: Bleach
HISTORY: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orihime_Inoue

STRENGTHS:
*INTELLIGENT* - Though Orihime's cheer and humor make her appear derpy, she's very intelligent and creative. She has the ability to learn new skills quickly, even faster than the rest of her friends when they're taught to send their spiritual energy into the spheres at the Shiba household. Her grades are exceptional, and she ranked third out of her grade level on her tests. Part of this is due to her hard work, as the money she receives from her aunt is based on her grades, but she's also got the brains to make it to the top. She's demonstrated her quick thinking when paired with Uryuu Ishida in the Soul Society, and suggests that they can move around more easily if they disguise themselves as shinigami.

*PERCEPTIVE* - Not only is she cagey, she's also shown that most of the time she's incredibly perceptive. She's one of the few who recognizes that Ishida isn't a bad person from the very beginning, and seems to get along with him far better than the others. Orihime is particuarly keen for recognizing when her friends are upset or sad, even when they try to hide it with a smile. But this isn't always the case. There are times when she's way off the mark, like when she states that Ishida must be in love with Rukia because he made her such a cute dress. She also seems oblivious to Ishida's affection for her, just because she's so focused on Ichigo.

*CHARISMATIC* - There are very few people that Orihime doesn't get along with. She's polite, thoughtful, and quick to give earnest compliments at whatever she admires. She has a knack for making friends, even able to cause the grumpiest and most reticent people to warm up to her. Orihime's a great friend who works hard to look after people, whether it's trying to cheer them up, or leaving them bags of extra bread that she's allowed to take home from the bakery. She's a good listener, agreeable almost to a fault, and a hard worker. She also does her best not to take anything for granted, because she knows how uncertain life can be, and that the people she cares for could be gone the next day. Because of this, she strives to make each moment memorable, and lives each day to the fullest.

FLAWS:

*INSECURE* - In the deepest parts of her personality, Orihime is surprisingly insecure. Despite her good looks and her admirers (which she doesn't seem to realize she has), she doesn't really seem to think that she's good enough to be what Ichigo deserves. She beats herself up over her flaws and mistakes, and is quick to make self-deprecating remarks about her clumsiness or her weight. She tries so hard, but more often than not, she has no real pride in herself or her accomplishments. She's also desperately afraid of being lonely. She talks to her brother's picture about everything that happens, long after she's already said goodbye to his Hollow self. She felt responsible for him being a Hollow in the first place because she begged him not to leave her when he was dying. And despite this guilt, she does the same thing when Ulquiorra kills Ichigo. She screams tearfully at him for help, and this awakens his most monstrous and powerful form as a result.

*INSINCERE* - Orihime's more negative feelings (sadness, loneliness, fear) aren't something she likes to admit, most likely due to her childhood habits of hiding her troubles from her brother -- she didn't want him to worry about her when he was already working so hard and sacrificing so much to take care of her. She also seems to have carried over her guilt from fighting with her brother the night before he died, and shows a lot of aversion to contention and fighting. When someone does recognize and point out that she's faking her cheer, she'll sheepishly come clean, but more often than not she tries not to give other people a reason to worry about her. So she'll put on a smile, make dumb jokes, and keep herself busy to avoid becoming depressed. Most of the time she's pretty good at it, but she does have her rare moments where she completely breaks.

*ENVIOUS* - Orihime carries a lot of admiration for her friends, which sometimes spills over into envy. She gets frustrated when she's told to stay out of a fight, wishing desperately to be as strong as the others so she doesn't have to be a burden to them. Usually she compliments people on qualities that she wishes she had, describing Rukia as beautiful and graceful, the perfect woman. When she confesses her jealousy of Rukia to Rangiku, she calls herself disgusting, and breaks down in tears. Her feelings are never malicious in nature, she certainly doesn't hate Rukia or anyone else. She just feels inferior to them and pushes herself extra hard in an attempt to keep up with them.

CANON ABILITIES: Orihime's powers can be separated into two categories: her powers manifested through her hairpins (the Shun Shun Rikka), and her own natural spirit energy. With her spirit energy, Orihime is able to gauge the spiritual power of others by the strength of their souls, as well as regulate her own energy to let it blaze bright, or compress it to avoid detection from enemies (like Hollows) that would seek her out.

The Shun Shun Rikka is more complex, as they are comprised of six tiny spirits that are representative of different aspects of Orihime's own soul. Tsubaki is her offensive ability, and she uses him to cleave an enemy in two. Shun'ou and Lily allow Orihime to reject events within a limited space -- this is similar to healing, except that it's a sort of time reversal effect that prevents the injury from ever taking place to begin with, so her 'healing' means that there will be no scars or other indications that the person was ever attacked. Her limits with this power still haven't been reached, and objects are also affected (such as a person's clothes). This ability is sometimes viewed as the most dangerous, as it's entirely possible for her to reject someone's existence entirely. Thankfully, Orihime isn't nearly that awful, and she would never use her powers in such a way. The last three spirits, Hinagiku, Baigon, and Lily, form a shield that rejects attacks. This shield is almost unbreakable...ALMOST. Her powers are entirely dependent on her own strength of will, and if Orihime is emotionally compromised, this shield becomes brittle and easily shattered. More recently, Orihime has managed to combine Tsubaki with this shield for a combination that not only prevents attacks, but reflects them back upon the attacker. Her shield might seem powerful, but keep in mind that it only protects her from direct attacks aimed at her front. Tsukishima was able to appear behind her and run her through with his sword.

AU INFORMATION

AU CHARACTER NAME: Orihime Inoue
AGE: 15
GRADE: 10
AU BACKSTORY: Most of Orihime's history is similar to canon. Her brother took her away from their abusive parents when she was three, and died when she was twelve. The key differences are the people she's met and how they've influenced her. Souji Seta moved into her town and went to school with her when they were both nine. At the time, Orihime was being bullied by a small group of classmates that would gang up on her and cut her hair. Souji drove them off, and she's looked up to him ever since. Looking back, she admits that she probably had a crush on him, but as he moved away when she was ten, it's just a fond memory for her. ~~UNTIL NOW.~~

After her brother passed away, Orihime's aunt had her brought to France to look after her there. Her aunt was very busy and didn't have time to really raise her, so Orihime learned to do it herself and even offered to live on her own if that would make her aunt's life easier. They struck an agreement that Orihime's grades would determine how much of a living allowance she got. Not wanting to be a burden, Orihime worked extra hard to excel in a school where she scarcely spoke the language, but she knew some English from her previous classes in Japan and that made the transition easier for her. Tatsumaki also helped immensely to get Orihime accustomed to the drastic change in her life, chiding her for keeping her inability to express her sadness. She was able to snap Orihime out of her depression over her brother's death, and the two became best friends.

Orihime didn't find out about the supernatural world until a monster managed to slip into the forest nearby, where it began secretly attacking people with its ability to implant mind-controlling seeds in its victims to make them turn on each other. While Orihime was waiting to walk home with Tatsumaki, it attacked, manipulating several students into attacking her and commanding them to rip her apart. Before it could succeed, Tatsumaki appeared and knocked out the mind-controlled students with her abilities. Orihime was in utter awe, as she'd had no idea her BFF possessed such amazing powers. However, Tatsumaki's seer abilities kicked in at the worst time, blinding her and leaving her vulnerable. The monster nearly killed her, and in Orihime's desperation, her own strange abilities were awakened. Six small fairy-like spirits emerged from the hairpins that her late brother had given her as a birthday gift and told her that they were there to help her out, and that "We've always been with you." She got a crash-course in how to use their powers, healing Tatsumaki and the students, blocking the mind-control seeds with her shield, and finally splitting the monster completely in half. Exhausted, Orihime passed out.

Tatsumaki explained the supernatural world to her, and it seemed as if Orihime had at some point been contracted with the fey. Fearing that she would be limited in her ability to act and learn about her powers, Orihime decided to claim that her powers came from being a Candle. In truth, she had Candle powers too, but they were far more subtle. She could produce Radiance just the same, so she had proof enough when she was contacted about enrolling at the Daybreak Academy.

AU PERSONALITY DEVIATION: There aren't too many differences here either. Without Ichigo, she doesn't have anyone to pine over, so she's not as prone to being oblivious to the emotions of others (a problem she had in canon when she noticed that Tatsuki seemed to be feeling down, but never acted on it because she was so swept up in the current Espada crisis). She's also far less dependent on having someone there to protect her. It's still there, as she relies heavily on Tatsumaki for information and to have someone to talk to, but she's less clingy.

Her frustration at being unable to help in the war is more the result of her own doing for the time being. She enrolled with the claim of being a healer since that was the one ability Tatsumaki couldn't have taken credit for after the monster attack. Her primary goal is to develop her other powers to be strong enough that she has more confidence in who she is, where her powers come from, and her ability to control them to lay to rest any fears about her abilities being capricious or undependable. In canon, her primary goal seemed to be 'protect Ichigo.'

Originally, Orihime's big dreams were to be a teacher, an astronaut, and to have her own cake shop. Knowing about the inevitability of Nightfall as well as the existence of other realms, she's determined to become an explorer as well, and would love nothing more than to see what the world beyond the mist is like.

Since Orihime will have plenty of people around to talk to 24/7, she's not as likely to spend several private conversations with her brother's picture. What's more, as she was never able to speak with his spirit as she did in canon, she still carries the guilt of his death on his shoulders -- the last words she said to him were in anger, and she didn't tell him to have a good day before he left the apartment and was killed in an accident.

She's also had to work a lot harder at her academics due to the language barrier, which has expanded her knowledge to incorporate a more traditional European education in addition to what she learned from Japan.

RACE: Orihime is Human*.
*There's a strong possibility that she possesses fey blood herself, either with a fraction of distant ancestry, or just straight up switched at birth with her human self. This means...I haven't really decided, and if the mods would like to do something with that at some later point, I would be more than happy to go along with it! It could also be that she's 100% human and her fey contract was made at a very young age where she wouldn't remember it -- if so, then she once saved the six members of the Shun Shun Rikka from a cat that had them cornered, and as a result their loyalty to repaying the debt has resulted in a contract outside the capricious norm.
SECRET SOCIETY: Orihime is a Candle, and also a Fey Contract for all intents and purposes of classifying her abilities. For some reason, her fey-related powers are not only dependable, but also able to grow stronger with practice and emotional maturity.

POWERS: Orihime's Candle ability is to recognize the spiritual strength of others who possess supernatural abilities. As she hasn't had much exposure to others, she isn't yet able to classify who has what power source, she can only tell if someone has a great deal of power or very little, or none at all. With time and repeated contact with people, she'll be able to familiarize herself with their unique 'spiritual signature' and have an idea as to how far away they are, and if they're expending a great deal of power which could be a beacon to alert her of trouble.

Her fey-related abilities are the same as they are in early canon. Her shield is smaller in size, able to cover Orihime, but can be expanded to a few feet more with repeated practice. With Tsubaki, being able to divide an enemy in two should seem like a completely lethal and unstoppable ability, but it does have limits. For one, her aim has to be perfect, and he can be dodged. For another, if Tsubaki is damaged, it's extremely difficult for her to fix him and she would need help from someone else with healing abilities -- something she'd like to avoid since he's supposed to be secret! Her healing ability isn't quite healing; it's technically the ability to reverse events within a limited space, restoring a target to a previous state where damage had never been inflicted. Right now, it takes her a long time to properly heal someone, and she can't regenerate a lost limb. However, reattaching the limb by fixing it in place before using her powers on it is possible, it just takes her several hours of intense concentration to do it. Given time and practice, she can expand her power's area of effect to heal more than one person at a time, and even resurrect someone back to perfect health even if they've been reduced to a greasy smear on the ground. The last would take AT LEAST a year of gameplay, however, and it would also be a contest of willpower if someone's injury, curse, or death was the result of a supernatural cause (like a blight). If the supernatural cause is stronger than she is, she won't be able to reject it.

HOUSING: No preference! She might want to room with Tatsumaki if it's available, but as Tatsumaki has been going to Daybreak longer than Orihime has, it's IC that she'd have to make do with someone else. Surprise me!

Oh noooooooo, I wasn't able to answer the phone in time! ...Or scroll. Or mirror. Whatever you were using, I completely missed out! Leave a message, please, I'll get right back to you!

*robot beeps*

[OOC]
Backtagging: Yes!
Threadhopping: I'm okay with it if everyone else is!
Fourthwalling: I'll take it on a case by case basis, but for the most part I don't mind.
Offensive subjects (elaborate): You're not likely to get anything like that from Orihime, though I don't mind putting her in darker situations.

[IC]
Hugging this character: Yes, feel free. Just don't be weird or creepy about it (i.e. describing how her boobs squish, etc.)
Kissing this character: Ask first if they're not dating exclusively, as it might be kind of a big deal for her depending on the game she's in.
Flirting with this character: If you're a dude, go nuts! She might not realize it anyway.
Fighting with this character: Sure!
Injuring this character (include limits and severity): Yes, but no torture, maiming, dismemberment, etc.
Killing this character: Depends on the game. Ask first.
Using telepathy/mind reading abilities on this character: Sure!

[Shipping]
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Preferred fandom ships: Uryuu Ishida, Ichigo Kurosaki, Ulquiorra
Fandom ships I will play: Any of the above, but I'll also include Grimmjow and Yasutora Sado.
Fandom ships I'm uninterested in: Tatsuki, Rangiku, Hitsugaya, the older shinigami, other antagonists (CR is plenty welcome, though!)
Non-fandom ships: I'm a huge fan of cross-canon ships! But I definitely prefer building up to it over several interactions, especially since it would take a while for her feelings to turn away from Ichigo (it's possible, but hard, and she'll be conflicted about it in the beginning). Characters should at least be close to her age (not younger, please) or ageless enough that it wouldn't seem weird or uncomfortable. I'm picky about shipping her, so if I don't think there's good chemistry in the game, don't feel too bad if I say no and friendzone them forever.

[Reverse Permissions]
Healing your character: Orihime is an extremely gifted healer, due to the fact that she doesn't exactly heal with her powers. Rather, she erases the event that caused the injury or infliction in the first place, so even scars can be wiped out, and severed limbs replaced as good as new. Let me know if there's anything you DON'T want her to heal, because if she notices something is wrong, it would be OOC for her not to at least offer.
Detecting your character's spiritual presence: Orihime can sense someone's spiritual signature, or "reiatsu", and can even tell them apart if she knows a person well enough. Let me know what she'd feel from your character (if anything)!

Warnings: Very few. Orihime's kind of a dork. She can slip into a melancholy mood, though this is fairly rare for her.

If there is anything that you think I can improve on playing Orihime, please let me know.
