Chiyo, one of my Bleach OCs~

I recently started watching Bleach again (it's been a while... |D), so I dug some character pictures out of my drawer that I never posted for lack of scanner/internet/whatever else, and thought I should post them. I drew this one near the end of the summer and then shaded it during my first week at school... amazingly, the scanner actually did it justice.

Anyway, for those interested, here's a character description.

Full Name Akinori Chiyo Abarai (her birth name was Akinori, but she gave herself the name Chiyo because she didn't want a boy's name)
Age a few years younger than Renji
Hair Colour dark cherry red
Eye Colour green
Height 4' 10"
Weight 85 lbs
Birthday July 12
Favourite Foods hot fudge and chocolate pudding
Love Interest Byakuya Kuchiki (although it takes her a long time to admit it)
Zanpaku-to Yukiarinomi
Other Stuff
- Chiyo is Renji's younger sister, and as such, she argues with him a lot. She also likes to steal his clothes and wear them, with the excuse that they're more comfortable than hers.
- Chiyo was originally assigned to Division 13, and developed a father-daughter-like relationship with Ukitake. She was moved to Division 6 shortly after Renji became lieutenant.
- Chiyo doesn't like to wear her shihakushō, and usually doesn't, when she can get away with it. She prefers to wear clothes from the living world.
- When she's not wearing her shihakushō, she wears either long-sleeved shirts, or arm warmers with gloves, to hide bruises she has from training and making Renji spar with her.
- Chiyo prefers hand-to-hand combat over using her Zanpaku-to (unfortunately for her, that's not usually an option)

Anyway... that's Chiyo in a nutshell. I have more info on her, but I won't bother writing it, or the description will start getting really long XD

Enjoy~
