Appearance: Along with everything else, Yuki was gifted with looks by nature. Ironically, although her mother's eyes are green and her father's blue, and they are both blondes, she has completely black eyes and hair. Additionally, she has white skin that is rather pale, although her mother is Hispanic and her father is white on the pinkish side. Furthermore, her body is of a rather petite build, which isn't much like her parents either, least of all her father.
Nevertheless, she has a very feminine shape, her chest and hips being considerably wider than her waist, despite the fact that girls with her basic build usually lack figure. She mostly wears clothes that are comfortable for her, which are incidentally those that are rather open, but she doesn't do it to show off at all.
Eyes: Onyx Black
Hair: Raven Black
Skin Color: Normal White, Pale
Body: Light
Personality: Yuki is a very unusual girl. Children born into wealthy families often get spoiled unless their parents are really good at parenting, but although hers were some of the worst, she brought herself up. She was always very smart and understanding of life. She read a lot and picked out the qualities of different characters that she decided she would want to have, and tried to shape herself after those decisions. To avoid being spoiler by her parents, she had been living separately for a rather long time.
One could call the girl even better than an angel: she is kind, compassionate, forgiving, understanding, gentle, polite, generous, smart - but at the same time, she doesn't lose sight of what it is being human. However, her character had resulted in her becoming somewhat secluded from other people.
Inner World: Yuki's inner world is a snow-covered park. It is a round area about 1 square mile in size. In the center is a round pond, covered by thick ice, taking a space of about 0.2 square miles. Around it is a wide open area, covered by snow twelve feet deep, which together with the pond takes a space of 0.8 square miles. Everything outside that area is surrounded by a spruce forest, where pine trees stand in the glory of their always green attire, covered in snow. Although the snow is extremely deep, Yuki can walk on it as if it was solid. The temperature in her inner world is below 200 negative Celsius, but she feels herself perfectly fine inside of it. While her inner world is a very limited area, it is infinite: when one reached its edge, they are seamlessly transported to the opposite end. There are rare clouds far above the surface, which, if one manages to reach them, turn out to be quite tangible, soft and bouncy.
The weather in her inner world may change depending on her mood. The snow can no longer support her weight if her soul is in turmoil, and the ice breaks apart. The clouds, while not losing their physical properties, may lose altitude. In a critical condition, the cold in her world becomes unbearable even for her, and the clouds fall to the ground.

Powers:
Name: Piercing Cold
Soul Class: Hogosha
Skill Requirements: None
Other Requirements: Avatar Form: Articuno - Second Stage
Type: Physical
Description: This power molds Yuki's spirit energy to create large shards of ice with sharp edges anywhere next to her, which she can launch in any direction at a high speed. The bigger the shard is, the more damage it can deal, but also takes more energy and time to create. With that said, she can shoot small shards, six inches long and rouchly one inch in diameter, at the rate of a machine gun. Average shards, which measure three feet long and six inches wide, can be fired one after the other. Large shards, that reach nine feet in length and eighteen inches in width, have a bit of lag between their creation, but they break apart and release shrapnel, about three hundred small shrads with a maximum range of fifty feet that fly in every direction, on impact. All these shards of ice exist at a temperature of minus forty degrees Fahrenheit, so not only do they hurt their target directly, but may easily give them frostbites
Effects: Small Shards: 0.2xSpirit Power damage; Average Shards: 1xSpirit Power damage; Large Shards: 3xSpirit Power damage
Force: Small Shards: 0.8xSpirit Power; Average Shards: 1xSpirit Power; Large Shards: 1.2xSpirit Power
Cost: Small Shards: 5 Spirit Energy; Average Shards: 60 Spirit Energy; Large Shards: 350 Spirit Energy
Other Requirements: Avatar Form: Articuno - First Stage
Type: Energy
Description: This power is a stronger version of what Yuki can do with cold and ice by wish alone, but it drains her spirit energy to do so. It allows her to create a piece of ice as big as herself within a second and up to thirty times as big within a couple minutes, and she has absolute control over the shape it would take. She can now channel cold through a medium over a distance of up to thirty feet, and it does not weaken within the first fifteen feet of its path, which it covers instantly. The lowest temperature she can manage with this ability is minus seventy six degrees Fahrenheit. Naturally, at that temperature, the ice is very strong. With Winter's Domain active, this power's maximum range is increased by one tenth Winter's Domain's and "strong range" by five feet
Effects: 0.8xSpirit Power energy damage; 0.2xSpirit Power physical damage that ignores Damage Reduction each post for 3 posts after getting hit, even if initial damage was nullified (non-cumulative, won't kill a fainted opponent). Each successful attack reduces Speed by 1% of maximum; each post one doesn't get hit, the Speed recovers by 1% of maximum
Force: 1.4xSpirit Power
Cost: 50 Spirit Energy per post used
Feats:
Name: Guardiant Spirit: Articuno
Soul Class: Hogosha
Skill Requirements: None
Other Requirements: Yuki only
Description: All Hogosha have a powerful guardian spirit that grants them power beyond human limits, though normally they are the same as common humans, and only become different when calling upon the spirit's power
Spoiler:
Articuno is a legendary bird of frost, one could say, ice phoenix. Its history and purpose in folklore was almost the same as the Phoenix's, but instead of having the nature of fire, it had the nature of ice. It represented cleansing and rebirth as well, only from a slightly different angle. While the Phoenix represents a new beginning, Articuno represents a second chance, although the difference between these two concepts may not be understood by some
The bird's appearance is nothing really special: it has ice blue feathers, white fur on its chest and red eyes. There are also three " hair strands" of feathers on its head, blown back and of a darker blue color. It has a very long tail, which floats completely freely, something very unusual for any bird, and has the same darker color as its "hair"
Articuno's personality is hard to grasp. As expected, he is very cold to everyone, relying on his mind and logic much more than anything else. He is also very silent, speaks rarely, only when it is needed and always straight to the point. It could be shortly described as extremely serious, because there is no cruel or uncaring side to him, but he doesn't seem to be able to have fun
Effects: None
Name: Avatar Form: Articuno
Soul Class: Hogosha
Skill Requirements: None
Other Requirements: Guardian Spirit: Articuno; 200 Spirit Energy for Second Stage, 450 Spirit Energy for Third Stage, 1000 Spirit Energy for Fourth Stage
Description: The main ability of the Hogosha, from which all their powers come, is to call upon their guardian spirit and merge with them, partially or completely. This ability is activated by stages, the number of which may vary from two: first, when the person's appearance changes and they gain some powers but remain mostly human, and second, when they take on the form of their guardian spirit - to any reasonable amount. However, the final stage is always the Hogosha's complete transformation into their guardian spirit, while the inactive state, also known as zero stage, is always a plain human form, without any changes or powers granted
Spoiler:
Articuno and Yuki's Avatar Form progresses over four stages, or five including the zero stage. As with everyone else, it doesn't do anything for her in Zero Stage, not affecting neither her powers nor appearance at all
Her First Stage is one of the rarest kind, one that is usually called "zero release", and brings with it some minimal changes to the girl's appearance, though they would catch one's eye easily: her eyes turn very light, silvery-blue in color and almost seem to have a glow to them
The Second Stage and the middle of her transformation, is the common "human avatar" form, where one gains the majority of their spirit's powers and some appearance traits. In addition to her eyes already being a pale blue, they really start glowing a little, and her hair turns the same ice blue color as Articuno's feathers. Her skin also turns slightly more pale and with a tiny hint of blue to it
The Third Stage is not a very common one, but this type is known as "hybrid form", where one's body becomes a hybrid between their human form and the guardian spirit. All the changes in appearance that appear in previous stages are still present in this, but in addition to them, Yuki gains Articuno's wings and tail, proportionated to her body's size: the tail is six feet long and her wingspan is about sixteen feet
The Fourth Stage is final for Yuki. A stage of this kind exists for every Hogosha, and is either called "final stage", "guardian form" or "spirit form". In this stage, the girl completely transforms, taking on Articuno's shape. She also grows in size, becoming about ten feet tall from claws to head, with a wingspan of about forty feet. Her tail can now change in length, from six to thirty feet, at her will, though it doesn't affect anything. She also has the ability to shrink in size, down to two feet tall, with her body parts shrinking accordingly
Effects:
Spoiler:
As it is always, Zero Stage has no effects whatsoever on Yuki
The First Stage allows the use of some additional powers, and it releases the limits of the human body, allowing her to use her full potential
The Second Stage allows the use of most powers, and boosts her Speed and Spirit Power by 20%
The Third Stage allows the use of all non-final form powers, boosts her Speed and Spirit Power by additional 30% (total of 50%) and allows her to fly freely
The Fourth Stage allows the use of all powers, but restricts the use of Guardian Arms and any human form only powers. It doubles all her stats, including the bonuses from previous stages. Since her maximum Spirit Energy and Endurance also double, her current Spirit Energy and Stamina get restored by the according amount (normal maximum). When she leaves this stage, her current Spirit Energy and Stamina fall by the same amount, but never below 0
Cost: 25 Spirit Energy to enter each following stage, 2x<STAGE NUMBER>% of maximum Spirit Energy per post, 10% of normal maximum Spirit Energy per post in Final Stage
Name: Articuno's Serenity
Soul Class: Hogosha
Skill Requirements: None
Other Requirements: Guardian Spirit: Articuno
Description: A unique ability that no other soul class, and likely no other Hogosha either, possesses, it allows Yuki to enter someone else's Inner World or bring them to her own. To do this, there must always be a physical contact present, and one of the following conditions must be fulfilled: the target must either be fully aware of what she wants to do and agree to it or unconscious. However, there are some differences between her entering another's Inner World and dragging them to her own
Spoiler:
If Yuki enters someone else's world, she will be on the same grounds as the owner of that world, meaning the possibly surreal and harmful conditions of it will be as natural for her as for the person themselves. The owner of this world will have their full Spirit Energy and Stamina when this happens, while she will only have the same amount as when she used this ability in reality. If she manages to kill them in their world, the person will die without any detectable effects on their body as their soul will be cleansed and brought back to the start of the circle of life. If she is killed in their world, she will be thrown back into reality and lose half of her maximum Spirit Energy. She is unable to leave their world at any time if she is in a fight with its owner
If she brings someone else to her Inner World, then she can control whether they are unaffected by its conditions like herself, affected partically or completely. When a person is brought into her world, they get fifty percent more Spirit Energy and Stamina than they had in reality, but no more than their maximum, while Yuki herself always has them at maximum. If the guest was conscious when brought there and Yuki kills them, they die without any detectable effects on their body, but if they were conscious, they are thrown back into reality and stripped of half of their maximum Spirit Energy. If she herself gets killed, the guest is thrown back into reality, but she is the one to lose half her Spirit Energy this time
Note that the events that transpire in reality and either of their Inner Worlds are not directly related, meaning the amount of Spirit Energy and Stamina each of them had in one world will only be affected by the other in the ways shown above. In other words, it does not really restore one's strength
Effects: N/A
Name: Articuno's Blessing
Soul Class: Hogosha
Skill Requirements: None
Other Requirements: Guardian Spirit: Articuno
Description: Articuno's powers are based around cold, ice and spirit energy. Since he is her guardian spirit, Yuki also gains some related abilities, even in Zero Stage, which is very unusual. Although these abilities are pretty weak, they come naturally to her, meaning she doesn't need to spend any energy on them. But probably the most notable feature of Articuno, is that it has a property somewhat similar to a shinigami's zanpakuto, although they seemed to have taken their power from the Phoenix. When they slay someone, the soul is cleansed of all sins and is transported to Soul Society for a new beginning - the Phoenix's aspect of rebirth. But when Articuno or his avatar slay someone, the soul is cleansed of all sins and is reverted to the starting point of life, as they are instantly born into the human world again, as if given a second chance at life - this is Articuno's aspect of rebirth
Spoiler:
In Zero Stage, she only gains minor ice and cold creation ability. She can form a piece of ice in her hand with a minimal temperature of minus four degrees Fahrenheit and can also channel cold of the same temperature through the air or any object over a distance of up to five feet, although it naturally weakens if the medium is warmer. When she channels cold, it is visible by distortions and tiny frozen water particles in the air, or frost on objects
In First Stage, her abilities to create cold and ice become stronger, allowing a distance of eight feet, a lump of ice twice the size of her hand and minus twenty two degrees Fahrenheit. However, anything beyond that drains from her energy. Additionally, she gets a "heat sense": somewhat similar to heat vision, except it has nothing to do with sight and allows her to feel the shape and temperature of all objects within one hundred feet from her
In Second Stage, Yuki's "heat sense" widens to cover an area of two hundred fifty feet from her, but that's all that she gains. She also doesn't get any increased common abilities in Third Stage, and her abilities change drastically in the Fourth (and final) Stage.
Effects: Heat Sense gives Yuki complete awareness of her surroundings in a limited range and is not affected by powers that inhibit the five senses
Name: Articuno's Might
Soul Class: Hogosha
Skill Requirements: None
Other Requirements: Avatar Form: Articuno - Final Stage
Description: When Yuki enters the fourth and final stage of her Avatar Form, not only does she completely transform into Articuno physically, but also gains the full extent of his powers. Although his primary elements are ice and cold, as a creature that naturally revels in the sky, he also has some control over wind. His presence is said to cause snow to fall even in the hotest of places as he brings cold with him everywhere. Some people say he is the spirit of winter because of this, but in truth, Articuno is so much more than that. It is also said that this bird wears an armor of ice, though the dependability of those words is questionable
Effects: Winter's Domain always active with no cost. Cost for all powers halved; cost for Arctic Snowstorm zeroed. Damage Reduction becomes 0.5xSpirit Power
Weapon: None
Other Equipment: None
Background: Yuki comes from a family of rich industrialists. Although her parents let her do whatever she wanted, she never became a spoiled child due to her personal qualities. She is quite shy, very kind and, as unrealistic as it sounds for a rich kid, does not believe in money. She is quite naive, believing in the good will of men and that every person is actually good on the inside, its just that the conditions might make them rough on the outside.
She lived her life like an average girl, never letting the power of money overwhelm her. She decided to move away from her parents and live alone in Karakura town to test herself, and because it was a peaceful, compared to the rest of Tokyo city, place. Her parents, being pretty uncaring and insensitive as they believed money could bring happiness to their child, followed this whim of hers.
So she lived a pretty average life, going to Karakura High school. She also did dancing since she was twelve, as she felt she could only express herself fully in this form of art. The girl was naturally gifted in this activity, as she claimed the title of 'Best Dancer in Karakura Town' at the age of fourteen, and won several major competitions taking place in the whole of Tokyo city. Obviously, she was very popular with the boys, but did not have any relationships as more than friends.

Why don't you just post this in the approved area? You're the only person who would be able to really 'Approve this' xD. _________________ Ichigo Kurosaki
Thanks, however, I didn't have any written appearance at the time you approved it. Which you should have pointed out instead of approving it
Also, I think I'm going to make a custom soul class. The concept of the abilities I had planned for her isn't so original that nobody else could have thought of it, I hate to be a dog in the manger and different humans having the same abilities is foolish. So this is on hold until I'm done with that
