Sally...Tsumetai?

Wow... You must really be wondering...WTH? Well...this is the missing link that completes the cycle of my story. Just read on...and don't if you haven't read past Bleach volume 20.

Sally's really dressed up in this picture. Why? Well...she's been adopted...again. When word got out that she was Aizen's daughter, people started talking about her mother Clara (who happens to be one of my ocs). Clara was a nobility...but after marrying Aizen...that pretty much was sliced in half. Sally's original name was Mimosa Aizen. Some treated her like a princess, because she had noble blood. Others treated her like a commoner because of her father. She made friends with Byakuya Kuchiki when they were both very young...then mysteriously disappeared when Kisuke Urahara left the soul society. The truth is...she saw something she wasn't supposed to see... Aizen, her own father, hollowfying several captains and soul reapers (see Turn back the Pendulum). Because she was in such close range of the Hogyoku...she too started to hollowfy. However...her hollow (Choo Choo San/ Avalon Mariposa) was different. She sought to protect little Sally (Mimosa) rather than take control of her. When Aizen learned of his daughter's state, he froze her and wound her age back. (yeah...he's that smart)

After winding her age back to infancy...he kept her suspended in a bell jar. Clara had different plans though. You see...Clara was just as evil as Aizen. She didn't want Mimosa to become an all-powerful arrancar. No. She wanted to create an all-powerful vampire. So, she went into hiding and waited for nearly seventy years. Then, she kidnapped Sally from the bell jar and gave her to a family in a western ghost town.

You pretty much know the rest...the Barlow family raised her, the ghost town was attacked, Hannah adopted Sally, Sally died (otherwise shed the aging gigai) and Byakuya found her. She joined the court guards, moved from Fourth to Eleventh to Sixth Company, Aizen defected, Sally somehow ended up back on earth a week afterward, she endured Yoruichi's training for close to nine months, she went back to the soul society and pwned Mayuri, she became captain of third company, stuff happened...blah blah blah... All in all...she became a captain and some of the captains she thought would be her best friends ended up hating her. Byakuya didn't respect her whatsoever. In fact, he struck her in the face twice. The second time he did that, Sally round-house-high-kicked him so hard that he fell head-first to the floor. Ah...the love.

So after Aizen just appears one day and tells Sally that she is his daughter...things change. Byakuya realizes that she was his childhood friend. Despite all this, he tries as hard as he can to act the same way toward her.

So back to the picture. This Princess Shipuah (my oc too) shows up. She's obviously something...because Byakuya starts to fall for her. Yeah...Sally felt real good about that. She had trouble getting respect when Haruka (my oc too) the lieutenant of thirteenth company was disrespecting her because she was infatuated with Byakuya. But a princess is another thing! She feels literally helpless...until the Tsumetai family comes along.

Tsumetai is Japanese for "cold to the touch." They're a noble family just below the four great noble houses. Shipuah is right below the Tsumetai family. Did I mention that the Tsumetai family is a family of vampires? Yes...these people kick @$$ and look flawless while doing so! INYOURFACE!!!

So Sally is in this lovely dress that the Tsumetai family gave to her. Because they adopted her, Hannah decided to make them extended family. ...and you thought the Strife family was powerful to begin with???

This dress is one of my creations. I'll try and post a full-view colored version of it. It's one of my Blue Strawberry Couture masterpieces. Hope you enjoy it! SALLY KICKS @$$!!!!!!
