Hisana Kuchiki (朽木 緋真, Kuchiki Hisana) was Rukia Kuchiki's sister and Byakuya Kuchiki's wife.

Appearance
Hisana had a very strong resemblance to her younger sister, Rukia Kuchiki. She was, like Rukia, short and petite with short, black hair and pale skin. Also, her eye color was the same as Rukia's: purple with a hint of blue in them. But the strand of hair in the middle of Hisana's face was shorter, and more frayed at the end. She was also seen smiling more often than Rukia, thus having a more soft-looking face, contrasting to Rukia's hard and mostly emotionless face.
Personality
Though Hisana was only shown in the series for a short amount of time, she was shown to be a kind woman. She was caring and loving. Hisana was soft-spoken, and didn't speak too often. This is in sharp contrast to Rukia's outspoken and somewhat temperamental nature. Hisana also felt very guilty for leaving Rukia behind to save herself, feeling that she didn't deserve to be called her sister. She loved Rukia greatly, but could not care for the both of them.
Synopsis
She was forced to abandon her baby sister, Rukia, in the 78th district of Rukongai, in order to survive. She married Byakuya sometime after. The people of the Kuchiki clan were against their marriage, as marrying someone of Rukongai was seen as the wrong thing to do in the Kuchiki family. Hisana spent every remaining day of her life searching for Rukia. Hisana later died of illness on the spring of the fifth year of her marriage to Byakuya. On her death bed, she asked Byakuya to find Rukia and adopt her into the clan, but not to tell her she was related to her, as she considered herself unworthy to be her sister. Also on her death bed, she apologized for not returning his love and said that the last five years she spent with Byakuya passed like a wonderful dream.
Hisana's portrait also appeared in the movie Bleach: Fade to Black. Byakuya was staring at her portrait, and told Ichigo Kurosaki where Hisana once lived so he could find Rukia. It should be noted that Byakuya did not know who Rukia was during this time, only learning from Ichigo that Hisana was her sister.
Relationships
Byakuya Kuchiki
Main article: Byakuya Kuchiki In addition to being married to Byakuya, Hisana's influence was also (albeit indirectly) part of the reason why Byakuya felt so inclined to carry out the execution of Rukia. Since by marrying her and adopting Rukia into the family, he broke the laws of the Kuchiki family, he swore on his parents' graves that he would never violate them again. Due to Rukia's sentence, he was conflicted over whether to keep this vow or the one he made to Hisana to protect her sister. As such, though he appeared to be merciless in the time leading up to the execution, he was actually deeply conflicted.
