Personality
To sum her up in a few words, Shu is an aggressive, rude, harsh, but dependable woman. She is a far cry from the former division four captain in personality as well as ability, but she goes out of her way to make sure that she does her job right the first time and isn't the type to mess around. She's efficiant to say the least, and can sometimes have a one track mind when it comes to her job. She may sometimes seem like a workaholic, however she does have quite the wild side. She's flirtatious and has been said to have a great sense of humor. It's sometimes hard for her to find interest in others as she can be pretty selfish but once you've gained her trust and respect you'll find it hard to find a more reliable friend.
Seeing as she is the Captain of the 4th division she also has a very nurturing side. She can at times be motherly much to her shagrin. She has built a reputation on being a hardass, so having others see her as a kind hearted woman can be a problem. Outside of her comrades in the 4th division few others have seen her more gentle side, which is ok by her as she considers them her closest allies. As a captain she can be hard to deal with, but she genuinely cares about her subordinates and does her best to support them. She isn't easily shaken, but is quick to anger. The one thing that can surely send her into a rage is speaking harsly about her division. In times past the healers were often mocked for their lack of combat skills, and she quickly gained a reputation for not tolerating that kind of talk.
In battle she is known to have a stationary fighting style, She excells at keeping her opponent at a distance and actually doesn't even need to move much in order to pose a tremendous threat to her opponent. Her proficiency in kidou combinded with the uniqe nature of her zanpakuto give her more than enough support in combat and she specializes at disabling even the most powerful foe. She doesn't get the opportunity to fight often seeing as she serves the primary role of healer but she isn't afraid to get into the thick of things should the time come.

Historical
Background
While she was alive, the young girl who went by the name Shuyan had no extraordinary life, that is to say she died young. Her parents where both farmers in China with little to live on, before she was even old enough to walk, they sold Shuyan away. In those days female children where not desired, and to a farming family raising a daughter was not an option. The man who purchased the child intended to sell her himself, either as a slave, or into prostitution. Unfortunately or perhaps fortunately, she didn't live long enough to become either. At the tender age of 2, Shuyan left the realm of the living, slain by sickness her spirit quickly whisked away to the soul society.
Spending her childhood in rough part of rukongai may have been harsh for some, but Shuyan thrived in the environment. Since she arrived at such a young age, she needed to be taken care of, and she was thanks to a kindly old woman, who just happened to own the biggest gambling and tea house in the area. Shuyan was a pampered child and grew up rather spoiled. For two hundred years she lived in that part of Rukongai, learning and mastering it's ways. It wasn't long before she herself was leader of her own gang and began running the gambling house in place of her adoptive mother.
Times where good but those good times didn't last long. A rival gambling/tea house grew envious of her establishment and went out on a misson of destruction. Since shuyan was only a young girl at the time, they figured she'd be an easy target and massed a large group to attack and set the place a blaze. Unfortunately the gravely underestimated the girl who utterly wiped the floor with them along side her gang. Sadly though the rival house achieved it's main goal, the gambling house was alight with flames, and shuyan stood before the blaze utterly defeated. Driven by rage she and her small gang marched into the rivals base of operations and went directly for the leader. A big bear of a man who none dared mess with. She made a deal with him, he hand over his tea house to her, and he doesn't meet his end in a shallow grave. Not impressed with her boasting the man moved to attack her, only to be struck down with a single punch. She picked him up and give him his choices again, and he of course made the right decision handing over his establishment to Shuyan and promising to never bother her again.
Thats when it all started, that moment, that very second, just after the man relinquished his bussiness to her. She doubled over in pain, a strange feeling in the pit of her stomach. She could barely move and those around her just stood in wonderment. As she lay there shaking on the floor a shinigami who had come to investigate the fire entered the room. He quickly rushed to her side and offered her an apple. The terrible pain, the bizzare feeling, it was none other than a savage hunger that had been building inside of shuyan, the sign that she wad destined for much more than the life of a thug. With that she was taken away to the shinigami acadamy, leaving her new gambling house in the hands of her gang, the still young girl (at the time only 15 in appearance) learned that she was to become a death god. That she would join the ranks of the Gotei 13, and the thought wasn't all to appealing to her at first.
She excelled at her studies, though she was never much good at handling a blade. She quickly became an expert in the art of kidou and showed great talent in the healing arts. All those years of running with her gang had taught her valuable skills when it came to treating wounds so it was only natural that she would be placed in divison four upon graduation for further education. There was only one problem. Her Zanpakuto. Upon learning it's shikai and the nature of it's ability it was quite obvious that it wasn't one designed for healing. It was seeping with poisonous energy, a sign that Shuyan herself had a venomous soul. She was dishearted. How could a zanpakuto only suited for causing harm in such a gruesome manner ever fit in with those glimmering blades which healed so effortlessly in their varied ways. It was then that she became determined to prove herself, despite the nature of her zanpakuto.
She was determined to become the greatest of them all, relying only on her own skill in healing and her own strength. It wasn't long before she rose in the ranks, and after the unfortunate demise of captain Unohana she decided that she would submit her own name in application for captain ship. The test to decide was grueling but her skills saw her through, She was in fact the most skilled healer in her division, especially since she didn't have a healing zanpakuto to rely on. It was even said that she was much more skilled than the previous vice captain of teh division, and with that the position was her. She was announced as captain and her face glowed with pride. In her new position she was respected, at least by the other division four members, and was finally seen as a great healer despite her venoumous soul and toxic nature. She is still young, and has much more to learn, in time she might even surpass the woman who once sat in her seat, one day she might even be greater than the former captain Unohana. This is her dream, her driving force. One day she will be the greatest.
