Sun as a Shinigami (Bleach, not Death Note)

For this picture, I used IrfanView, a not-so-extravagant photo enhancement program (after I fixed it up in Paint and GIMP). It's Sun as a shinigami from Bleach (I don't coin the term "Soul Reaper", I think that's a stupid translation. XP) She's captain of the 14th squad (more info on that when I finish my doujinshi) and her name is Tsukimaru Taiyou. Her zanpaku-tou is the opposite of Hitsugaya Toushirou's, Mitsukai Hanabitora. (Yin yang, get it? Mitsukai means "angel", hanabi means "fireworks" or "fire flower", and "tora" means "tiger".)

The lyrics are from Link by L'Arc~en~Ciel, the opening theme for the Fullmetal Alchemist movie.

tatoe kono karada ga ikura moetsukitemo ii sa kimi ni sasagu nara
oosora he to boku wa masshiro ni maiagari mamotte ageru
I don't care how much my body burns, as long as it's for you.
I'll fly up the pure white heavens and protect you
