History:
Sera was supposed to grow up in the royal Japanese court, born into power as the princess. Due to a hollow attack that melded her body with its own, killing her at birth, she developed high Reiatsu and Reiyoku, along with elevated speeds and strength. She began to learn fighting techniques and training as an assassin after finding herself trapped in the Soul Society, where her powers were at their peak. When she turned seven, she stole a gigai from Kisuke Urahara after stealing a Jigokuchō and leaving out of the Senkaimon by charging in after a group of Shinigami to become a freelance assassin and mercenary in the human world. She learned to mask her Reiatsu and became extremely skilled in her trade. Few knew who she was, and those who did know of her knew that she was a powerful asset and an ally to any of those who would be brave enough to attempt to contact and hire her. She quickly earned her position as the best assassin in the business. Throughout her life, she limited social interaction and focused on her career so that she would have no loose ends. In 2012, she moved to Nagasaki, Japan. On a job that she had received placed in Karakura Town, she met Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia Kuchiki. There, it was learned that she had exceptional fighting skill and high spiritual pressure, perfect for fighting. Sera joined the Gotei 13 after helping kill a minos grande that threatened to destroy Karakura Town. Her career with the shinigami began when she joined Renji Abarai in fighting several other hollows and then followed him into the Soul Society, where she met Byakuya Kuchiki and was given an opportunity to join the Soul Society through heavy battle trial and pursuit. During her time in the Soul Society, Sera was presented a blade laced with her blood from Ōetsu Nimaiya and a fragment of her Soul attached to the blade, which later told Sera her name, Shifutometaru (シフトメタル), who prefered to go by Toxic until summoned by Sera, and became her Zanpakutō. Sera learned later that Toxic could shape-shift and had a mind of her own, often taking on a human form. Sera adopted her as a sister to herself. After three years with the Soul Society, she became a member of Squad 11, holding the spot of fourth seat. During her first year with the Gotei-13, she submitted herself to testing with Mayuri Kurotsuchi, the captain of squad twelve. His tests resulted in highly enhanced senses and shape-shifting skills, along with immunity to most illnesses and poisons.

Current Duties:
Often times, Sera will take the responsibility of helping care for Yachiru Kusajishi, the lieutenant of squad eleven, as well as doing the lieutenant's paperwork. As Yachiru is a young girl, it's also a part of her work to bathe and play with her, as per the lieutenant's orders. She also provides squad eleven with heavy funding for new buildings and equipment. Her offhand duties are cooking for the squad, organizing events, and taking on the work that Yachiru doesn't cover (or just doesn't want to). She also spars in hand to hand combat daily with her fellow squad members in order to provide them with some extra insight on their own fighting in the event that heavy damage is done to their Zanpakutō.

Personality:
Sera is an independent woman who generally finds it easy to make decisions. She treats her friends with love and kindness and greets people she is new to meeting with either a cold and threatening demeanor, or a sadistic and bloodthirsty dance of ill intent. When in combat, she tends to lose herself to the blood lust and goes into an insane state in which she tends to attack others, with the exception of being able to discern friend from foe. When she speaks to others, it's either in high-pitched and perky tones or in raspy, sadistic sentences that reflect her sadistic side. She's extremely protective and reserved, but keeps close ties to her friends. When with her lover, she keeps a frivolous and slightly sexual demeanor, but is also sweet and compassionate. Sera generally expresses emotion with a fierce, almost frightening passion. She can't stay mad at people she loves for long, simply because of the extreme amount of affection she feels. Sera doesn't see strangers as an enemy until it is proven otherwise.

Appearance:
Sera appears to be 17, as she stopped aging on her 17th birthday due to partial hollowfication. She has blood-red hair, paper white skin, and ice blue eyes. When outside of the Seireitei, she often wears a skin tight black cat-suit with multiple weapons strapped to it (in the weapons description), and six-inch heels. She will also sometimes wear dresses or casual clothing or will shape-shift into a different form (animal, another person, etc.) Only when she has to go undercover will she change her hair color. While in the Seireitei, she wears the shinigami uniform. Her Reiatsu is red.

Weapons:
When in human form (her gigai), she carries six daggers strapped to each thigh along with her twin katanas (Toxic and Nameless), which she wears on her back. She also a dagger hidden in her boot. In her usual shinigami attire, she generally only carries Toxic.

Shifutometaru (シフトメタル):

Shikai: If at any time Sera says Toxic's true name, she immediately becomes a sword. Her blade changes shapes to accommodate the attack or block that Sera is attempting while also changing to meet the differences between other Zanpakutō or weapons.

Bankai:  Her bankai consists of her taking on a menacing form in which she is capable of brief manipulation of the enemy's blood in order to inflict damage. Toxic will also fight with expert swordsmanship while in her bankai state. When in bankai, Toxic's mind is hardwired only to protect Sera and fight the enemy. She grows to be around seven feet tall, her skin and hair turn pitch black, and she will shape-shift to attack in different ways, should the needs of battle suggest she do such a thing.
