I forgot I wanted to add the zanpakuto spirit manifestation of Sandāhōku

SandāhōkuBold text (Thunder Hawk) (Continued) (Again)

Zanpakuto Inner World: Sandāhōku's inner world is a vast castle constantly full of storms, with rain pouring almost constantly. When in its final bankai state, lightning is constantly striking the exterior of the castle. The castle itself at first appears as a maze when the wielder is unfamiliar with his zanpakuto, the path to meeting his zanpakuto's spirit impossible to find. After connecting with his zanpakuto and becoming truly in tune with it, the mazes disappear and the wielder instinctively knows his way through the castle. When the wielder later undergoes hollowification, half of the castle becomes warped and twisted and the path of the rain is reversed causing it to pour upwards on that side.

Zanpakuto Animal Form: Sandāhōku appears as a large silvery white hawk that has feathers that are constantly abuzz with electricity, a strong current of wind constantly flows around it. The hawk has piercing green eyes, just like its wielder. This form is later revealed to be just a form that the spirit took on before it was completely familiar with the user.

Zanpakuto Spirit True Form: Sandāhōku's true appearance is that of a fair skinned young woman. Her face is of a young, but indeterminable age, her features are vaguely Native American. She has hair that flows down to her waist, colored red, yellow, and black. There is makeup around her eyes that forms a horizontal tear drop, drawing more attention to her bright orange, almost predatory, eyes. She wears a cloak of feathers that hangs from her left shoulder and drags slightly on the ground. Underneath the cloak she wears and outfit that slightly resembles the Shihakusho of Shinigami, but it is silvery white and much more tightly fitting. She is bearfoot and has sharp claws on her fingers and toes. The claws are all painted yellow, except for those on her middle fingers, which are painted green. When in Bankai, the cloak and Shihakusho are replaced with a flowing white dress that appears to be       made up of feathers, electricity gently courses through them at all times. Her normally wild hair becomes   wavy and flows down her back and over her shoulders.

Zanpakuto Personality: To be added later.
