Name: Shirokuma [Polar Bear]
Appearance:
Manifestation:
Shirokuma is a wise, old polar bear. He is patient, yet reflects Kostya’s fierce personality when pushed or when in battle. Shirokuma often gives friendly advice to his wielder, and they really get along together. He is about six feet long and five feet tall with snow white fur. His massive frame represents that of Kostya, and his intimidation is massive. Shirokuma has a deep, cracked voice that booms through his inner world.
Inner World:
A desolate wasteland of arctic tundra, the inner world in which Shirokuma resides reflects Kostya’s cold and hard past. The temperatures are rarely above freezing, and the tall mountains loom over the frozen plains, sucking the sunlight out of the world. Shirokuma wanders around in this area. The landscape resembles that of Siberia, where Kostya grew up as a child. There are no other lifeforms in the inner world except Shirokuma, who wanders around the barren landscape. Almost no vegitation goes here, and there is not sign of man-made construction for miles and miles.
Release Phrase:
Cleanse our Transgressions with the Winter Solstice, Shirokuma!

Shirokuma, his weapon, is in it's true form. It is made up of entirely snow and ice, but is as hard as steel. Kostya, also, is able to find out where people are due to the snow.

Appearance:
His blade is a bright white, a curved katana about four feet in length. There are about six red lines near the hilt, and a chrome hilt and guard. There is a handgrip which is white leather. There is a narrow ridge that runs along the fuller and tang. Like most katanas, it does not have a pummel. The only difference between this blade and the one shown above is that the hilt has diamonds in the shape of Ursa Major. It is about five feet in length making for a really long katana. It’s strapped to Kostya’s left hip due to the fact that he is right-handed.
