Their own lives, status, honor, loved ones, a principle Since defecting from Soul Society and thus forfeiting her leadership positions around years ago, Yoruichi has come to work alongside Kisuke Urahara and Tessai Tsukabishi , based in the Urahara Shop out in the Human World.
She has dark skin, golden irises, and black hair. Unlike any other known Shinigami, she can transform into a small black cat for long periods of time. In this form, she has a distinctive male voice and golden eyes. Although of noble birth, she acts differently from most other nobles, very much like Kaien Shiba.
On several occasions, she transforms into her Human form directly in front of Ichigo just to see his reaction to seeing her naked, which she teases him about. In addition, she speaks in a dialect used by elders in the Japanese script, such as identifying herself as "washi" a term usually used by old men to define themselves with , instead of more feminine terms like "watashi" , in both her Human and animal forms.
When referring to others in the place of the "you" pronoun, she uses the archaic "onushi". While it is unknown how she obtained her cat transformation, she appears to prefer spending most of her time in it.
Upon showing her Shinigami form to Ichigo, she forgot to put on clothes, as she had grown used to not needing them; due to being in cat form for so long. She especially takes delight in transforming in front of people to see their shocked reaction, due to her cat form making her sound male. Yoruichi prefers to drink milk, which fits with her practice of transforming into a cat.
