Command for the Shikai is: “Blossom Buddha’s Blade of a thousand peddles, Chimera” after bringing the back of her hand (one holding the sword) in front of her face, blade pointing down. The world fades to black and a droplet of reiatsu runs down the blade to the tip, where it drips in to the ground which becomes the bank of a lake in front of willow, causing the muddy water to ripple.

Zanpakutō’s Spirit Materialization and inner world:
Inside willow’s mind there was a forest where the trees seemed to be sprouting up root first, with the ground was carpeted in soft green moss. There towards the middle of this great big forest seemed to be a stream leading into a thermal pool. The area around the pool looked similar to yellow stone national park style area. The thermal pool itself with its deep blues and reds in the crystal clear water seemed to resonate with and aura similar to hell. The wind sounding ominous, and there was no sound of animal like birds. Living in the forest is the hell hound, chimera. Its first form looked similar to a Siberian tiger but with one strange feature the lower (back) half was of a giant serpent’s body/tail. Its ears were longer, and its forehead had a visible metal (silver titanium or mythrill) plate, with orate designs on it. Chimera had two completely separate pairs of eye. Chimera appeared very majestic like royalty on a thrown. With in chimera’s first form its personality is very soft, calm much like the Buddha would have been.
Chimera second form was a feline looking hell hound(). It had black scales with cindering tips. The top of the head and back running along the spine all the way to the tip of the tail is cover in metal plated armor. The beast’s paws were as big as a man’s face and had the look of a dragon. While the beast’s eyes were even stranger as there was a second pair behind the first pair and the upper lids looking like scales when closed; the pupils were a deep fiery shade of crimson. Then there were the scales themselves…the beast seemed to shed them at will almost like a snake’s skin or a porcupine quilts, and the metal plates on its back had strange designs on them almost like writing. The scales were able to be used in an attack that looked like a whirlwind. Its fang seemed longer then that of a canine and its tongue snake like but with out the forked part. This thing seemed build for speed with a whip like bladed tail and lean body. The ears skinny, pointed, and shooting straight back diagonally; its muzzle was narrow and pointed with small metallic scales running along its nose similar to the metal plating along its back. The muzzle also had what seemed to be a pair of thermal/heat glands on the sides which were used to see reiastu.
Chimera has two forms the first form is of your basic mythical chimera…upper body of a Siberian tiger, and the lower body of a serpent. The second form is more of its aggressive form looks like the hell hounds from the movie Riddick but with the section running along its spine from head to tail is metal plated with a fiery under glow the rest of the scales have the same under glow and four sets of eye(like hellboy1's hellhound). see pictures:1,2 below
Special Accessories:
(All parts of this outfit piece are part of chimera.)
A shoulder drape on the right side which has a piece coming up over half of the face and head (possible some sort of armor), this plate moves with her head. On the other arm is a metal chain mail plated sleeve covering the shoulder down to the back of the fist. A belt of throwing blades in the shape of peddles in a double row are running along under the drape diagonally.

-hand to hand-
Before dying willow was developing a martial arts based around four animals for hand to hand & weapons. Which were: orangutan, squid, snake, and bear. (More and better descriptions will be posted later, sorry)
Squid style: this style is designed to entangle. One’s opponent(s)
Orangutan style: this style is design to confuse ones opponent(s); much in the same way drunken fist does.
snake style: this style is designed to affect the opponent's pressure points while disarming them
bear style: this style is designed to break distance and to get within ones defensive line to restrain the opponent.
-Weapons only styles-
as well as two additional sub styles one of them being shadow sword(see above description) and the other being twin fang spider style. these styles are able to be used interchangeably and in combined sets(such as using the squid and orangutan styles.
shadow sword: a technique used to control the opponent’s blade by manipulating the user's own (blade) in such a manner as redirect the opponent’s sword followed my disarming or striking within defensive zone. This allows the user to transfer side while still contacting the edges of the blade of both individuals. Often requires great amount of foot/hand/eye coordination along with foot and hand work to pull it off; includes grappling and holding of opponent’s limbs. Will be shown later…
'twin fang' style: this style implements two blades as a defense-counter strike style of fighting.
Abilities:
Willow is unable to control or manifest any kind of Kidō (in other then near circumstance with out the use of her zanpakuto) on her own. Only through her zanpakuto's abilities can she manifest and control Kidō. She does how ever study all her spells and practices them regardless. Proficient knowledge of kido (and usage in conjunction with zanpakuto abilities)

Uncategorized/other
Fushibi (伏火, Ambush Flare) — Momo Hinamori uses this spell in conjunction with Shot of Red Fire. Rangiku Matsumoto states that it is number 12, but does not specify whether it is a Destructive or a Binding Spell.
Kyōmon (鏡門, Mirror Door)(not achieved yet) — Tōshirō Hitsugaya used this to seal Momo Hinamori's hospital room. It creates a glass-like barrier which is difficult to break from the outside, but quite simple to break from the inside.
Hanki (反鬼, Reverse Demon) (not achieved yet) — This technique nullifies an opponent's Kidō spell by hitting them with a perfectly opposite surge of energy. Yoruichi uses this against Soifon's Flash Cry.
Keikatsu (啓活) - A healing technique
1-99 (not achieved yet).
Zanjutsu:
Inferno’s Razor Wind(not achieved yet):
Chimera’s signature attack is both an offensive and defensive move with the devastating strength of the move leaning on the side of defensive. The weapon is engulfed in what appears to be wind that can be ignited but is bladed peddles moving extremely fast whose source is the sphere. This ‘wind’ can be enlarged to cover willow as a defensive measure. The bladed end can also be swung around like the sword form the cause devastating (surface damage only, like a siver rug burn) inferno tornados.
Shunpo thrust(not achieved yet):
The zanpakuto is run thru the individual hilt end first while using extremely high speed movements such as lightning touch. The sword is released from willows grip just before she as the hilt pushes through and then grabbed on the other side to appear as if they were stabbed from be hind without the blade being blooded. Then the zanpakuto is pulled the rest of the way through.
Bankai only
hell fire’s inferno not achieved yet (bankia sword form only)
Using the hellhound’s natural environment as a template the user is able to produce the atmosphere of the pure hell fire. Causing whole building to spontaneously combust even while in them as an inferno immerges. This can also be used to ignite whole battle fields in the same hell fire’s flame.
Advance Hohō:
Lightning touch not achieved yet: this advanced hoho (above basic shunpo) allows the user to increase there speed to the point it makes the sound of thunder in the physical world. This can be an advantage due to the over welling sound and the inability to local the user. It’s theoretically possible that using lightning touch could defend against even lightning itself. This technique can be used on more then just the feet for movement.
Phoenix flash flare not achieved yet: due to the massive amounts of reiatsu consumed by this (85% of their sealed zanpakutō reiatsu level, due to tearing open the spatial fabric causing the rebirth of one’s self theoretically) it is a emergency defensive move only. The phoenix flash flare technique allows the use the ability to move out of the way for a fraction of a second causing the person to appear as if they burst in to flames then having the cindering ashes crumble away, like a phoenix being reborn. Warning most clothing tends not to survive the first phoenix flash flare used.
Personality:
willow is the shy silent kind that speaks only when there is something important to say, and often fall’s on dead (I mean deaf ears).
Powers:
