Description
Sketch of Hinamori's Bankai.

Spoilers on it's abilities below!

===========================

Tobiume's name translated is Flying Plum Tree. Release Incantation "Snap!"

Had to make up her Bankai's name, decided on Thunder's Mistress Flying Plum Tree.

Thunder's Mistress Tobiume is a massive sphere that hovers above Hinamori. It's metallic armoured shell prevents a massive lightning storm from enveloping the area . The armor is made of several layers of tesselating patterns. These layers are constantly moving about to let destructive energy leak out. Through large openings near the bottom three thick bolts of red lightning constantly feed Hinamori huge amounts of spirit power. Naturally this makes Hinamori's destructive spells far more deadly and require less spirit power and time for casting. Hinamori can also cast multiple low-level destructive spells simultaenously with singular incantations. Against physical and immediate threats, Hinamori can concentrate her spirit power to create small barriers or a phantom zanpaktou.

With Bankai, Tobiume's released Zanpaktou's ability to fire a concentrated energy blast is taken to the next level. Thunder's Mistress Tobiume releases a steady barrage of multiple strong energy blasts and low level kidou spells to distract and overwhelm opoonents. She also scatters plum flower petals across the battlefield that burst into hedge-sized, multi-prong metallic spikes that maim or impede movement. These Plum spikes absorb spirit power and are difficult to destroy. Once charged from Tobiume's attacks or collecting ambient spirit power they can be sacrificed to attack opponents with a single powerful lightning blast.

~~~Special Attacks:

Fruit of Your Sins; Crushing Regret - Tobiume grows a small tree from the top of it's shell. At the recitation of "Crushing Regret" it shatters. The ensuing cloud of fragments serves to hide a small plum fruit being sent rocketing into the sky. The fruit blossoms into dozens of very long Plum Spikes that cascade down, impaling anything in their path.

Fear of Honest Death; Cleansing Judgment - Hinamori condenses a massive amount of spirt energy into a phantom Tobiume Zanpaktou with far more prongs. Upon recitation of "Cleansing Judgment" a large energy blast is fired at the enemy. Dozens of small sparks leap towards every plum spike and flower petal. Plum spike are drainged of their collected power, amplifying the sparks into countless lightning bolts. Flower petals act as mirrors, reflecting and drastically changing attack patterns. Very hard to evade, very short, very devastating attack.

~~~Final ability - Grim Tempest of the Dark Forest's Awakening.

Hinamori shatters Tobiume's constraintment shell, releasing it's enormous amount of energy. Hinamori regains Tobiume in her released zanpaktou form, but previous abilities of Bankai are lost.

The area is inundated in a tempest of lightning and red thunderclouds. Everything is constantly burned and drained of spirit power as the storm tries to maintain itself. Hinamori won't suffer damage, but feels hot and loses stamina far faster than her opponents. As the area becomes saturated in the tempest's abundant energy every seed and plum spike burst into rapid, limitless growth. Each tree interweaves with others, and attempt to create layers of shells to protect Hinamori and ensare enemies in a cage. These trees become incredibly deadly as they become charged with lightning until they glow and discharge fierce bolts of static.

Because the tempest rapidly drains Hinamori's physical strength she can't rely on her opponent succumbing to exhaustion faster or risk waiting for the trees to grow so tightly they eventually make a physical (and fatal) connection with the enemy. In order to win she has to make use of the fully grown Plum spikes to create devestating attacks that are incredibly hard to dodge and block. Using Tobiume to draw power from the tempest Hinamori can directly channel enormous amounts of power into a tree, causing it to overcharge and explode in seconds. As countless fragments fly about they each discharge multiple bolts of lightning in every direction. Each arcs from tree to tree, depleting their collected power to vastly amplify their stength. The enemy isn't directly attacked until the lightning has drained the entire field of trees and the countless bolts have coalesced into very few, unbelievably deadly pillar-thick strikes.

As Hinamori becomes more exhausted or the more unstable the storm becomes. As Plum spike trees grow they rapidly expend more of Tobiume's tempest's energy. The weaker the storm becomes the faster it drains Hinamori to maintain itself. Essentially, the longer Hinamori fights, the faster she heads towards passing out and losing. However, the longer she waits the more the trees have grown, the more energy they have collected, and the more they amplify her attack to increase it's lethality on an exponential scale.
