Yoshino Sōma

is the one of the Bounts and Jin Kariya's former wife.

Appearance
Yoshino has long, soft brown hair, parted on the side. Her clothing appears to be vampiric, having a long collared shirt and dark red tie. The bracelet and claw she wears is her sealed doll.

Personality
After all her loved ones deserted her, she attempted to end her life. She was stopped by Jin Kariya, who offered her a chance to be with him. Over time, she began to loathe her former lover, and ventured out on her own. Nonetheless, she risked her life to save Uryu, proving herself to be a kind woman.

Synopsis
When she first appeared, Yoruichi Shihōin stopped her from taking a living soul. Ichigo Kurosaki and Ririn then corner her and she releases her doll, Goethe. The fiery doll would have destroyed him, had it not been for the appearance of Rukia Kuchiki. Shortly after that, several snakes (made out of pipes) capture her doll, and her fellow Bount, Utagawa, takes her back to Kariya's mansion.

Yoshino proceeds to save him twice (once from Ryō Utagawa, once from Hō and Ban). She takes him back to a large clock tower where she explains her past as Jin Kariya's wife, and the Bounts future, going to Hueco Mundo. Gō Koga then breaks into her loft and uses his metallic doll to capture her and Ishida.

Ishida's friends show up to rescue them. Ichigo battles Utagawa and Rukia battles Maki Ichinose, both of which end with her being brought back to Urahara's place. However, in order to protect everyone, she seeks out Kariya. The two share a short battle where Yoshino desperately merges with Goethe. She is impaled through the chest by Kariya and her soul was transmuted into the bitto.

Doll
is Yoshino Sōma's doll. It takes the form of a claw (on her left hand) and bracelet (on her right hand) when sealed. To unseal Goethe, Yoshino strikes the two pieces together to create a spark, which releases him. Goethe is a fire elemental, able to create and control flame. While mostly humanoid in appearance, it has no legs. It can't be attacked physically, being made of flame, and reforms if dispersed. Hybrid Being In Yoshino's last moments, she and Goethe merge to create a stronger, hybrid being, allowing Yoshino to control fire herself.The battle was short but intense from both sides.Sadly, everything goes according to Kariya's plans: she is impaled through the chest and after that she dies and he transmutes her soul to create new Dolls, called bitto.
