Enomoto, Taiga

Taiga's uniform consist of white sleeves and a braided tassel where the obi would be. There is another tassel going down the left side of her chest that is tied to the one around her waist. Standing at the small height of five foot one, Taiga is a very short girl. She has short limbs and fair skin. There are a few scars that litter her body, but most are covered well with her uniform. She has ivory hair, styled in a bang with widows peak in the middle. She has a long ponytail that falls past her shoulder. Sea green eyes that appear predatory are accented by red streak like markings that stretch from the corner of her eyelids to the side of her face. The other distinguishing feature is her arrow like tattoo that sits beneath her eyes and crawls along the side of her face and onto her chest. 

Taiga is your average tsundere unable to properly convey her emotions. She becomes easily flustered, quick to upset and liable to lash out onto most people without a second thought. She's rough around the edges, uptight, abrasive in her terminology and for most hard to approach. Taiga can be quite blunt, even to a hurtful degree as she is one not to hold back her thoughts or opinion on any particular matter. Often seen as tomboyish and wild by her female peers she is often left to hang with the "boys", but Taiga could care less. She likes tough people and you wont find a group of tougher people then the squad eleven. Taiga idolizes Jingu Kenpachi for her charisma and overwhelming power, often sticking to her Taicho like gum beneath a table. Taiga's infatuation with Jingu is more then simply being enamored by her strength and strong personality. Its also because she herself wishes to become as powerful a woman as Jingo. Though she is more boyish, Taiga has a love for chocolates and stuffed animals. Her room is filled to the brim with various different plushies. Immature and cheeky most would find Taiga nuisance or bother, but for her captain she is tolerable because Taiga willingly does all the work dumped onto her and also a excellent cook. She spends her off days swinging her sword and sometimes preparing meals for her squad mates if their not drinking.
HISTORY)
Taiga's history begins with her birth by low born peasants in the slums of the Runkongai. Since her earliest days she struggled through the filth of the most despicable scums in the worst part of the districts. All she recalls from her early childhood life was strife and the loss of her parents who died a dogs death upon the streets. They had been robbed by criminals and in the act they both died trying to protect the food they had worked hard to get for their daughter. When this happened Taiga remember looking out the window of their run down shack, waiting for their return. She sat there for an entire week before finally she was visited by a group of men who then explained what had happened. She stayed strong in their presence, but as soon as they departed she sobbed late into the night. After that day she promised she wouldn't cry anymore. The struggle of living was all she lived for and it made her strong. A few years later she learned of a program that took young children and groomed them into fine soldiers of the soul society. 

With not many other alternatives, Taiga decided it was her best bet if she wanted to scavenge a decent for herself. Her determination and wild nature played heavily into her success as she performed well in a multitude of the studies at shinso academy. Because her potential she was scouted an taken into the Enomoto family who though were not nobles themselves, were a very influential family who were known for producing quality shinigami for many years. At first she was distant from the family, but after awhile they grew on her. They had turned out to be great people who even upon her graduation from the academy had surprised her with gravestones of her parent buried within the family grave. Even till this day it is perhaps the most kind thing anyone had ever done for the small girl. Drafted into squad eleven she thrived on the battlefield and in missions which required a more masculine hand. She raised her skills slowly while admiring the captain-Jingu. Even as a lowly seated member she without question or problem did a lot of the work given to her by Jingu. 

It wasn't till very recent did Taiga finally earn Jingu's favor and was promoted to the third seated position after an all out fight between the original holder of the position. With nothing in her way now Taiga continues to grow both as a warrior and a woman; she can be found more likely then not either doing the captains work or at her side.
