Hierarchy and features
Appointment. The lieutenant is appointed and dismissed by the squad captain, but his decision must be supported by the Council of 46. In rare cases, a squad may have multiple lieutenants.
Role. If the captain is absent, dies, or is otherwise unable to perform his duties, his place is taken by a lieutenant.
Power. Lieutenants generally only possess Shikai (the first form of Zanpakutō release); Bankai is a rarity for them.
Symbolism. Each squad has its own symbol (often a flower), which is embroidered on the inside of the black kosode (the traditional Shinigami robe).

Rukia is a short woman with pale skin, violet eyes, and black hair, one strand of which always hangs over her face between her eyes. Byakuya has said that she greatly resembles her sister, Hisana. Like all Shinigami in the Gotei 13, Rukia wears a uniform. Sometime after her victory over Sōsuke Aizen, her hair became shorter, resembling a bob. She wears white tekko (a type of fingerless glove) like Byakuya's, only longer, ending just below her elbows. As a lieutenant, Rukia wore a chevron on her shoulder. As a captain, she began wearing a haori with her division's symbol. Her hair has also grown much longer, reaching below her shoulder blades. Rukia tucks one strand of hair behind her ear. Born into a lower class, Rukia remains modest even after being adopted into a noble family. She is elegant and "pure," yet she also interacts with ordinary people. However, her coldness and isolation often force her to hide her personal problems even from her friends. According to Ukitake, Rukia never opens her heart and has a hard time making friends. She is a good actress and sometimes uses this to get out of difficult situations. She enjoys climbing to high places. She enjoys surpassing others in strength or knowledge, so a mentoring tone sometimes creeps into her voice. However, she is inexperienced in many areas of modern life, for example, she does not know how to drink juice through a straw. She also loves anything related to or reminiscent of rabbits. She becomes quite irritable when someone insults her obsession with rabbits. People often have difficulty understanding her drawings, which usually depict rabbits. She also doesn't like it when someone complains about their quality. Her favorite foods are cucumbers, eggs and chimaki (pressed rice, sometimes with filling).
Hisana abandons Rukia. 150 years ago, Rukia and her older sister, Hisana, were sent together to Inuzuri, the 78th district of Rukongai, after their deaths in the living world. Unable to live there while caring for their child, they were forced to leave.

Bankai Special Ability: Hakka no Togame increases the range of Rukia's ability to reach absolute zero. Upon release, a column of cold mist rises into the air from Rukia's location and covers a wide area around her. Anything within the mist's range is frozen. Once frozen, the victim's body disintegrates within seconds. Physical contact with Rukia herself causes others to freeze due to the coldness of her body.

Forty years after her adoption into the Kuchiki clan, Kiyone and Sentaro inform Rukia that she has been assigned to the Human World. Rukia believes this is a transfer order, which Kiyone denies, reminding her of her previous mission in the Human World, which Rukia still doesn't remember. Ukitake explains that she's being assigned to Karakura Town for a month, which should be easy for her. Rukia thanks him for telling her. Ukitake asks if she's told Byakuya about this, but she claims she doesn't want to worry about such a trivial matter. Ukitake offers to tell him about her, for which Rukia thanks him. Kidō Expert: Rukia's greatest strength is her Iya Kidō. She knows the ways of destruction, the ways of binding, and the ways of retrieval. As she herself stated, her Kidō scores were among the highest in her class, but when she joined the 13th Division, she discovered that her magical abilities were only average. Through constant training, she greatly improved this skill, and now she can use Path of Destruction 73 without chanting and with significant destructive effect. When deprived of her sword, she immediately switches to Kidō. She can use high-level Kidō in rapid succession without chanting, while still maintaining control and power. She is also proficient in combining Kidō and even casting several at once. High Spiritual Power: As a captain of the Gotei 13, Rukia boasts high levels of spiritual energy and can generate large amounts of spiritual pressure when needed. Her spiritual pressure is white.

However, her cold and withdrawn nature often causes her to hide her personal problems even from her friends. According to Ukitake, Rukia never opens her heart and has a hard time making friends. Rukia knows little about the modern human world. She is a good actress, and sometimes uses this to get out of difficult situations. Approximately 150 years ago, Rukia and her older sister, Hisana, were sent together to Inuzuri, the 78th district of Rukongai, after their deaths in the world of the living. Unable to live there while caring for a child, Hisana abandoned Rukia when she was still a child. Rukia grew up on her own for a long time. One day, Rukia knocks down an adult who was pursuing Renji Abarai's group of friends and urges them to follow her to avoid losing the water they stole. Rukia joins their group, becoming their spiritual leader, and they live together as a family. Two months after entering the Academy, Renji, scolding the still-ill-adjusted Rukia, informs her that he's going to the living world for the first time for practicum training. Rukia complains that this is unfair, but Renji counters that it's about talent and that he'll become stronger. Rukia says she'll show him she's stronger, but falls silent. One day, during a meeting with Byakuya Kuchiki and his entourage, Renji enters the room to tell her he's passed an important exam. Frustrated at the interruption, the nobles leave, telling Rukia they want to hear her answer. After they leave, Renji asks her what they want. She tells him that she is wanted by the Kuchiki clan to be accepted into the clan immediately after graduating from the academy and that she will be assigned to the 13th Division, to which Renji congratulates her. Rukia thanks him and leaves. Rukia is told that Byakuya has accepted her into the Kuchiki clan.
