Kuchiki Rukia Wiki

A female shinigami from Bleach. She is the adoptive sister of Kuchiki Byakuya, the younger sister of Kuchiki Hisana, a friend of Kurosaki Ichigo, the mother of Abarai Ichika, and the wife of Abarai Renji.

She was a key component in starting the plot of the series. In the beginning of it, she gave her powers as a shinigami to Kurosaki Ichigo in order for him to defend himself and his two sisters Kurosaki Karin, and Kurosaki Yuzu from an attack by a Hollow. The name of her zanpakutou and signature bankai is called Sode No Shirayuki and Some no mai Tsukishiro which completely immobilizes her opponent by freezing them solid, then instantly killing them when the ice is shattered.

Her appearance changes throughout the series, but her most common trait is her short black hair with a bang between her eyes.

She is voiced by Orikasa Fumiko in Japanese and Michelle Ruff in English.
