"The Reaper's Bloom" Ichigo x OC x Grimmjow

Amari Ichika never thought her love for anime-especially Bleach-would play a role in her destiny. A seventeen-year-old African American girl with a fiery spirit, she lived a life much like Ichigo Kurosaki's: full of fights, stubborn pride, and an unshakable will to protect others. But when tragedy struck, she gave her life to save a child... and her dying wish was granted.

Reincarnated into Karakura Town, Amari tries to live quietly, determined not to meddle with the story she once watched unfold. But fate has other plans. When a Hollow attacks her school, her dormant powers awaken, and she's forced to embrace her destiny as a Soul Reaper.

Thrown headfirst into battles between Hollows, Soul Reapers, and Arrancars, Amari finds herself at the center of everything she once thought was fiction. Everyone she meets seems drawn to her in unexpected ways-yet two figures stand out above the rest: Ichigo Kurosaki, the boy she always admired, and Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez, the ruthless Espada whose dangerous charm pulls at her in ways she can't ignore.

As she fights alongside Ichigo and uncovers shocking truths about her reincarnation, Amari must face the question: Was she brought into this world by chance, or has destiny chosen her to change everything?

I do not own the anime or manga called Bleach. That honor belongs to Tite Kubo. I own my OC Amari and her images.
