Momo is the most voracious reader in Bleach, who tends to indulge herself mostly between the pages of her books. Even in her free time, the only place she would visit is the library. Although she is an easy-going and kind-hearted individual, her outrage is rather menacing.

Momo respected and idolized Aizen to a great extent, and even after he turned evil, she had a hard time digesting the fact. However, leaving her personal feelings aside, she was ready to kill Aizen with her own bare hands to stop his atrocities, which showed her determination to protect everyone.

Soi Fon doesn’t let her personal feelings get in the way of her duties. She despises those who don't abide by the rules of the Soul Society. Yoruichi made a huge impact on Si Fon’s life, which is why the latter idolized the former and her entire life and tried to walk in her footsteps.

Soi Fon maintains a stoic disposition and likes to keep herself reserved. Her determination is such that she can go the extra mile to defeat her opponents even if it costs her life. Although she cares for the people around her, she doesn't like to express her feelings. Bleach fans love Soi Fon for her stubbornness and her iron-clad willpower.

Kukaku is known for helping people into places where they are not invited. She once helped Ichigo and the gang enter Soul Society by penetrating its barrier.

Kukaku is hot-headed and temperamental. Her tolerance level for annoyance is so low that she can destroy everything around her just to discipline others.

Although Rangiku holds the position as a lieutenant in the 10th Division of 13 Court Guard Squads, she doesn’t like to get caught up in her work. Rangiku spends most of her time drinking and annoying her captain. If she feels like it's time to celebrate, there is literally no one who can stop her.

Rangiku may seem like a self-centered individual, but deep down, she cares for everyone around her. Despite being a renowned slacker on the battlefield, she can inflict fear into her opponents with her shinigami prowess.
