Chizuru Honsho is one of Ichigo's classmates and friends, though her role in the group is pretty distinct. She's openly lesbian and constantly flirts with Orihime, which reliably gets her smacked down by Tatsuki as punishment. Fans often note that she's written as deliberately weird—she once asked what a young girl's cup size was, which kind of sums up her character's more disturbing tendencies.
During the Fake Karakura Town arc, Chizuru shows up asleep alongside Michiru until Tatsuki, Mizuiro, and Keigo find them. She wakes when Aizen's presence approaches, which suggests she has some latent spiritual awareness, though nowhere near enough to actually perceive ghosts. As the chaos unfolds and everyone's forced to flee from Aizen, Chizuru struggles harder than most—she gets increasingly mentally shaken by all the bizarre events happening at once, especially confused by how calmly her friends seem to take it all. What's interesting is that she ends up being the only one of Ichigo's immediate classmates to realize he's a Soul Reaper without having been told directly beforehand.
