Rukia Kuchiki was brought up from one of the poorer districts in Soul Society. She was abandoned since young by her older sister, Hisana. Her early life revolved around the company she kept, which included Renji Abarai. They grew up together stealing water for survival and opting to join the Shinigami together for a better life.
During her days in the Shinigami academy, Rukia was adopted into the noble clan of Byakuya Kuchiki. This was made possible due to a last request by Byakuya’s bedridden wife before she passed away, which turns out to be Rukia’s older sister, Hisana.
With this powerful connection, Rukia managed to acquire an early graduation and was assigned to the 13th Division under Captain Jushiro Ukitake. In the 13th Division, Rukia formed a strong bond with the Kaien Shiba, the 13th Division Lieutenant. Kaien was a great leader and a true friend towards Rukia. At the same time, Rukia respected for Kaien’s wife as a role model in grace, beauty and duty. One day, Kaien’s wife and subordinates were killed by a Hollow which has the ability to possess human body. Kaien went all out to seek revenge, only to get his own body possessed in the event. Eventually, Rukia was forced to eliminate her Lieutenant, and this tragic experience has been kept deep within and haunting her for many years. Rukia was extremely guilty and emotionally afraid in facing the Kaien’s family for an apology.
The anime started long after the tragic past of Rukia, where she was tasked to guard Karakura Town. On a faithful night in Karakura Town, Ichigo’s house was assaulted by a Hollow, and that was when the fate of these two person collided. Rukia was severely injured whilst trying to protect Ichigo and offered to transfer her Shinigami powers to him. Since that very day, Rukia decided to move into Ichigo’s place to recuperate her powers, at the same time, act as a guide for Ichigo who agreed to become Rukia’s substitute Shinigami.
