Description
Rukia from Bleach. I wanted to capture her more vulnerable side, and I think it's best expressed when Byakuya is involved. That is the "his" I'm referring to. Think of it, being adopted by the most famous member of a noble house, and an enormously powerful captain to boot, only because you look like his ex-wife. To be practically shunned by everyone because you're "not worthy" of the noble position, and you are treated so incredibly coldly by even the one who adopted you...Not that I really blame Byakuya, it must be SO difficult to live with someone who looks exactly like the dead love of your life...So Rukia was kept in the dark, especially after her fall out with Renji.

It's funny, Inoue once says that Rukia is a very important person to Ichigo because she is the one that "changed his world". But Ichigo changed Rukia's world too. Without him, she would have continued to live, alone, in Byakuya's shadow. She wouldn't have made friends or reconnected with Renji, and she wouldn't have gained confidence in herself or her abilities. That's one of the reasons I like the Ichigo and Rukia couple. They changed each others' worlds.

In the pic, I wanted to make her really vulnerable looking, gripping her security blanket (Sode no Shirayuki) so tightly her hand bleeds. Ok ok, so it's angsty and drama-y. heh.

ok, I'm done ranting. Here's a picy. haha.
I don't own Bleach or any of the characters.
