Last I checked, this character's cosplay outfit was available at Moon Costumes.

Rukia Kuchiki started out as a Shinigami (Death God), but in the first episode she gives her powers to Ichigo Kurosaki. She met Ichigo and when they were fighting a Hollow, and when she got hurt she told him to stab her sword into him... and he did, which changed him into a soul reaper! She then enters a faux body and convinces Ichigo to help her in her work as a Shinigami until her powers return.

After a while, her older brother comes and takes her back to Soul Society. Giving away her powers was a serious crime punishable by execution. Ichigo and a few others then go to Soul Society to rescue her.

Rukia Kuchiki, when sent from the soul society to vanquish a hollow, she runs into Ichigo who causes her to get injured by the hollow and consequently ends up giving him all of her powers rather than half. She then helps him do her job as a soul reaper until the soul reapers Renji Abarai and Byakuya Kuchiki come and take her back to the soul society for committing a capital offense (giving her power to a human) as they try to kill Ichigo.

Rukia has lived ten of Ichigo's lives (you do the math) and that she inhabits a Gigai (fake body given to disimpower soul reapers. Also she likes anything to do with rabbits and draws very poorly. Personality wise, she's kinda weird.
