Biography

Hitsugaya is the youngest Captain in Soul Society history. Often perceived as a child prodigy by fellow shinigami, Hitsugaya is a strategic and determined warrior whose natural charisma has won the respect and admiration of many ever since his debut in Bleach. As a childhood friend of Hinamori, Hitsugaya is known to be very protective over the latter in spite of being the younger one.

Impression

Hitsugaya is the principal scriptwriter of our featured story. In spite of his child-like appearance, Hitsugaya is mature enough to have a clearer view about his surroundings than those of his own generation, which in fact earned him the right to lead hundreds and thousands of fellow Shinigami. In retrospect, Hitsugaya is an extremely disciplined person who won't let personal feelings disrupt the line of duty; however, he is never hesitant to take bolder action(s) than usual when Hinamori is placed in some sort of danger. The boy is born to be a knight in shining armor, per se.

As some of you have probably figured out by now, Hitsugaya truly means the world to me. But we'll leave that for another discussion.
