Personality – Maddie is a very bubbly, cheerful person. She's laid back but can be serious when she needs to be, and enjoys helping people. She hates fighting in a formation or in any way that restricts her own personal fighting style, feeling that it makes her vulnerable and inflexible in combat. She's very protective of her friends. She loves playing tricks on people and has a tendency to ambush them and appear from seemingly nowhere. She hates how her family pressures her and restricts her individuality, so that when she is away from them, she tends to express herself somewhat excessively.
History – Orphaned in infancy, adopted and raised by the Kurohane Family, one of the families under the Shihoin Clan who serve in the Onmitsukido. Thus Maddie trained in the academy and joined Squad 2, working her way up the ranks normally until she hit 6th seat. She didn't want to be Corps Commander of any of the lower three divisions, so she bided her time while gaining more power. Eventually, she challenged the previous lieutenant, deafeated him in battle, and took the seat for her own.
Likes – Music, her zanpakuto, teasing people, jokes and pranks, hugging, birds, entertaining people
Dislikes – Overly serious, close-minded, arrogant, or unreliable people, corruption, greed
Family – Kurohane Family
Squad – 2
Seat – Vice Captain

Zanpakuto Name – Tsukikarasu (Moon/Luck Raven)
Zanpakuto Appearance – A standard length katana with a black grip, and a solid round black guard engraved with feathers.

Zanpakuto Element – Luck/Chance

Obtained? – yes
Shikai Release Command – "Adjust the odds, Tsukikarasu."
Shikai Appearance – A double-ended 78" tall spear, with one spearhead being larger than the other. The shaft is wrapped in black cloth, and has two black raven feathers tied just below the larger spearhead.
Shikai Ability – Gaizensei Manipyure-shon (Probability Manipulation) - allows the user to adjust the probability of random events or the concentration of luck. This is undetectable to all but the most aware and sensitive to changes in energy and reiatsu, or people who possess similar abilities. This can be concentrated to intentionally cause specific things to happen, such as lightning strikes on a cloudy day, electrical shorts in a building, and earthquakes near fault lines. It can drain luck from people, making them clumsy and fail much more often, etc.
Restrictions – This ability cannot give over a certain amount of luck to any one thing, so that nothing can be invincible, etc. This luck comes from people in the surroundings, so luck manipulation is not very useful in isolated areas. Larger events take time and concentration to cause to happen, and are significantly harder to control. Especially skilled people are less affected by having their luck stolen, since they rely less on it.

Obtained? – yes
Bankai Name – Bakuchi Karasu (Gambling/Gambler Raven)
Bankai Appearance – The spear remains the same, but Maddie herself transforms. She sprouts black wings, her hair turns black, and her eyes turn gold and bird-like.
Bankai Ability – Enhanced speed, strength, reiatsu, and control. Senses are also boosted by a small amount.
Bankai Ability – Her wings and feathers can harden into a strong obsidian-like material, used mainly for defense.
Bankai Ability – Kointosu (Coin Toss) - Flips a black coin, encircled with runes on both sides, with a raven's head for heads and a few feathers for tails. Maddie flips it and calls a chance-based event. Heads and it strikes the opponent instantly, tails and it backfires at Maddie.
Bankai Ability – Saikoro (Dice) - Rolls ten black ten-sided dice. The higher the number rolled, the more powerful the ensuing kido-based attack. (Somewhat cimilar to a Cero, and the numbers correspond roughly to the strength of kido and bakudo of the same number.)
Bankai Ability – Kakegoto Kikai (Gambling Machine) - Three slot machine windows open on the shaft of the spear, which are projected in front of the spear as it is held sideways. They spin, with possible matching symbols being earth, air, fire, water, electricity, and a raven feather, which elicits direct help from Tsukikarasu's spirit. The other symbols grant control of that element to the user for a short time.
Bankai Ability – Ru-retto (Roulette) - A giant roulette appears out of the ground, with a black ball and black and white sections. Four feather symbols are on each corner, two on each color. If the ball stops on a black, umbrakinesis (shadow manipulation) is granted for a short time. White, Arubino Karasu (Albino Raven) form is activated. This is Maddie's most powerful form. Her wings and hair turn white, and her eyes turn red. All traits are boosted in this form, though she can't stay in it for more than a few minutes, and will be left tired. If the ball lands on one of the feathers of either color, the effect of that color is increased dramatically.
Restrictions – Maddie cannot influence the results of the slots or roulette using her ability, and her power over the results of the dice is significantly reduced. The roulette can only be used once per battle, the slots and dice twice each, and the coin three times.

Reiatsu Colour – Gold/yellow
Reiatsu Shape – Raven
Any Descriptive Markings or tattoos? – no
Any Special accessories or extra weapons? – no
Extra Abilities – Her family's specialty is concealing their physical presence and reiatsu, essentially turning invisible.
Power and Abilities – Zanjutsu - She is more skilled than the average lieutenant, but has not yet reached captain level.
Hoho - Maddison is much faster than most, and is able to use a few advanced techniques, though with some effort. She still has untapped potential in this area, and she has some obsession with being faster.
Hakuda - Being in Squad 2, she is very skilled at unarmed combat, frequently mixing it in with her shikai and bankai.
Kido - Maddie is capable of using kido in the 60's without the incantation, and kido in the 70's with it. Her favorite kido are Bakudo 62, Hyapporankan, Hado 33, Sokatsui, and Hado 63, Raikoho. However, she is more than willing to use other kido spells if the situation calls for it.
Clever - Not the best tactitian, but when it comes to taking an opponent by surprise or thinking quickly in one-on-one fights, she excels.
Reiatsu - Maddie has adequate reiatsu, but not enough to really use it for attack or defense unless Tsukikarasu is helping her.
