Arrancar

"Who are you...?"

Spoiler:

Name: Angelica Terra.
Age: 120 years old, probably looks like a 29-year old.
Gender: Female.
Height: 183 cm / 6'0" ft
Weight: 62 kg / 136 lbs.
Eye & Hair Color: Light-blue eyes filled with traces of kindness. Loose golden locks reaching the middle of her back. Bangs are stroked to the sides.

"I define who I am!"

Appearance: Angelica has a rather lanky body structure, being very tall for a female and quite skinny too. Her limbs are rather long and seemingly very delicate. The limbs are rarely exposed, as the young woman tends to wear white robes to cover almost her entire body, save for her hands and head. Fingers similar to claws protrudes from the hanging sleeves and unkempt nails almost an inch long from the finger-tips. Another thing one might notice when looking at her fingers, is that they are bent inwards, ampliying the illusion of claws instead of hands further. Overall, her body is 'pear-shaped'; with a relatively flat chest, wide hips and a narrow waist. Her skin, pure marble, almost shines when pale light kisses it. The chin of the lady is small and barely a few centimeters away from her pink lips. When corcerning the details of Angelica's lips, one can easily detect that her underlip is much larger than the upper. Frequently her month is open and she exposes her teeth. Also, to state it, Angelica has a slight underbite, but it is far from severe. Looking at the upper part of her face, one can see that her cheeks are quite sunken, having lost her youthful fullness a long time ago. With a quite skeletal face, the eyes are mainly the attention catchers. Light blue. Awake. Kind. Words like that can describe them. They are also quite large and round, much like a child's. What separates them from younger ones, is the despair one can see behind the kind facade. On both sides of her head, wings of bone; her Hollow mask, can be seen. These wings are located right above her ears. Additionally, another pair of bone wings protrude from each of her shoulder blades. Bizarrely, Angelica's Hollow Hole can be located where her genetalia would have been. It goes straight through her lower abdomen; exiting between her buttcheeks.

"... And my actions define me!"

I Smile At Your Antics...

Personality Traits: Angelica is fiercely loyal. Few traits are more noticeable when one analyzes Angelica's personality. Even if she would be betrayed, it is almost certain that this woman would stick with the side of the one she follows. Quite early in her life, it was apparent that Angelica was a «team-player». Maybe it was because she was weak on her own, or if she simply wants to win as a team. Though she will scarcely trust someone with her entire heart, Angelica will dispose her entire self to the ones she does loyally follow.

She possesses a very compassionate heart. This part of her personality also became apparent during early age. When she was a young lady, Angelica spent a massive amount of her time «helping» the sick or injured animals.
Now, as an Arrancar, Angelica is still as or even more compassionate as she was during her human life, as reflected by her personal powers. Often seen tending to her comrades, even if they doesn't show any kind of gratitude... It's not like she expects it from heartless beasts. Harsh as it may seem, her assistance and kind nature is a hindrance to the good powers she attempts to uphold.

Though a very passive and rather pacifistic individual, Angelica can be fiercely protective of her dear ones.
Having stated on more than one occasion that she will not hesitate giving her life in order to save her allies. This selfless behavior did eventually lead to her demise as a human and Angelica believes that her over-protective nature will kill her in this life too. But as she is disgusted by a majority of her brethren race, befriending Lady Angel is a trial itself. But one can know for certain that she sincerely cares for anyone she tries to save or even calls 'friend'. Beware, though. If one does not treat her the same way this lady treats you, a hurt ex-friend will surely await you.

While the stereotypical Arrancar is a blood-thirsty individual who searches for worthy opponents, Lady Angel is a deep, rather complex woman who views the spiritual world with awe.
Although not easily moved to tears, when she is, the tears stop is hard. One will need the right music, art or poem for the situation in order to move her soul. Anger isn't her most used emotion and she will rarely rage against anyone.
As she has a hard time controlling her angelic facade when struck with strong emotions, her reactions can be considered honest to the core.

Angelica is well known for her great patience. No matter how many times an enemy strikes her without her being able to harm her, she will usually only smile and politely ask them to stop attacking her.
Also a patient teacher and student, Angelica easily absorbs knowledge. However, as she has a high level of tolerance, Lady Angel sometimes expect other people to have just as much patience as herself. Taking into account that she lives in a hemisphere of intolerance and irreverence, some may see her as a saint of piety in this dark world. Apparently, she enjoys doing tedious things such as chores, cleaning and meditating, thus meeting little to no understanding from her peers.

...But I Cry On The Inside

Angelica simply pities almost anything that has been through painful experiences, even if she shows it or not. Tales of too much sorrow may break her down mentally, as long as they are realistic enough.
In her state of pity, Angelica usually grows oblivious to their real intention. In her head, the person who invokes her empathy is 'connected' to her. This mentality makes her quite naive to an extent. Also thanks to this trait, she often hesitates to kill people, due to their pasts. Sentimentality is one of her major problems seeing as she feels guilty for committing even the tiniest crimes or injustices. This does not mean she is apologetic, but she could ponder about this very event for the rest of her life. Was it right? Was it wrong? Could be it be done in a different way? Though the Saint is knowledgeable of the fact that the past cannot be changed, she can't help but regret...

As one of the few pacifistic Arrancars, Angelica has a major handicap in battle. Either may she be refusing to attack her opponent first or attack at all. Most prominently is it when her enemy looks like a child or a youth. Though immensely loyal, Angelica will possibly disobey her master when it comes to fighting. Therefore, it is a high chance that one will observe Lady Angel around her master in order to protect him or her from danger. If she ever spills as much as a single droplet of blood with a recoiling attack, she would possibly suffer from a mental breakdown. But that isn't certain, because she has never initiated an attack on anyone since her Arrancarification.

Perhaps Angelica's darkest trait. As reflected by her aspect of death, Angelica abuses her relationships by plainly sacrificing them. In situations where she could have prevented death, she usually walks away, leaving behind her doomed allies.
And she is not the one to avenge them. Angelica firmly believes that vendetta is the flower of carnage and almost arrogantly avoids the path of violence. Ironically, she does not hesitate sacrificing herself for her supposed 'master'. Her overly protective nature may be seen as a nuisance, as it is sometimes a minor to major hindrance in battle. Especially if someone betrays her, she tends to abandon them and repress every memory of them. These belong to the past, they only belong inside her head... Inside the ash of her dreams.

Though compassionate and overly protective, Lady Angel is amazingly apathetic. At times, one can observe her staring emptily out in space, seemingly pondering. When facing solitude, Angelica usually reverts into this depressed state of mind. Therefore, one can think that the compassionate and protective woman is a mere facade. While this may be true, the other persona isn't entirely a bluff. At least not the sacrificial part. Alas, this morose stasis is a swamp Angelica often has to climb out of. Also thanks to her apathy, Angelica almost completely lacks the emotion 'anger'.

Believing that sex is an impure concept, Angelica strictly refrains from engaging in any sort of sexual activity.
Generally disgusted by any sexual implication or amorous behavior, she won't usually show her disgust, but usually just leave the «party» when the promiscuity starts. It is fairly noticeable that she does not take promiscuous individuals seriously, as when she speaks to them, Angelica would usually use the «bubbly baby tone», even when regarding some serious issues.
She is willing to overcome this difference if the situation is dire enough to demand it.

Aspect of Death: "I, Angelica Terra, Represents The Nature of the Giver, The Curse of Iphigeneia; Sacrifice. Forever Destined To Throw Away Bonds And Live An Unfinished Life On The Path Of The Carnage Flower. This Is My Aspect As Well As The Reason Why I Exist."

"You caught me in a Mono-log!"

Additional information: Angelica has a rather traditional view on the ways Souls are placed in the universe. Her belief centers around 'purity' and 'impurity'.
One of the central points in her philosophy is that she shall not enter the zone of purity (Soul Society) unless necessary.
She believes that as an Arrancar, she is simply an impure being (Hollow) who has developed by destroying pure souls in the process of evolution. But instead of killing herself as a form of punishment, Lady Angel 'repays' the life she has been granted by the supreme being; The Old One (Universe) by showing mercy to the pure ones (Humans, Pluses).
Through this, she has developed empathy for the impure beings who never seemed to realize her way of seeing the Old One's Samsara of Life.

Also, despite her body being reminiscent of a divine being of religious proportions; the angel, Angelica isn't particularly religious. In fact, she has been known to despise unproved religious beliefs and especially the three great religions. Indeed the concept of a God other than the Universe itself is laughable. But then again, her emotional side is often touched by the firmness in their faith and intent of helping those less fortunate than themselves. After all, she was once like that herself. Desiring to change the paths of these lost religious souls, Angelica detests to see any soul fall into the same trap she fell into almost a century ago...

"You will be punished!"

Zanpakuto: Her Zanpakuto is a rather odd one. Instead of the common sealed sword, Angelica's sealed Zanpakuto takes on the appearance of an elongated, blue shield. It is a single foot taller than Angelica, but only a little bit wider than she is herself. The front of the shield is of an intricate design; mixing golden and royal blue. It is delicately thin, but sturdy as few. On the back, the shield is light blue with a golden handle facing sidewards. Unbeknownst to most, the Zanpakuto is actually hollow inside, as is the handle. With a single hole on the handle, anyone wielding it can channel their reiatsu to the inside of the shield. By doing this, the shield will gain a hue of reiatsu with the same color as the wielder's own. When Lady Angel wields it, the shield will be surrounded by a blue reiatsu. Thanks to the fact that it is hollow on the inside, it has many other uses than acting merely as a shield. As an example, it can be used as some sort of odd parachute.

Angelica's Zanpakuto; Un Viejo Criada:

Resurreccion: Upon activating her Resurrección, Angelica's hollow mask remains will crack and burst into mere dust particles.
An intense white light reiatsu will peacefully envelop her very soul. As it is particularly bright, eyes are easily irritated by the reiatsu exerted during the transformation process.
Instantly when the light illuminates the area, a wave of chilling reiatsu will also sweep over said area. As it is easy to notice the light from far, the transformation light can attract other souls to it.
From afar, one can also notice that the shimmery light pulsates. These pulsations matches the beat of her heart. When the transformation is complete, the light will pull back and implode upon itself, revealing the fully resurrected Lady Angel.

In this new form, Angelica has underwent some changes that may be considered minor by Resurrección standards. Her most noticeable difference, might be the two pair of wings she now possesses.
The wings are quite large, having a wingspan of over 3.5 meters (11'5 3/4" feet), and are lilac in terms of color. The lower pair of wings are more horizontal than the upper pair of wings.
While it may seem impractical to have two pair of wings, it can benefit Angelica in various ways. The lower pair of wings has more muscles than the upper pair and therefore are better fit for taking off and increasing the speed of the flight.
The upper pair are thinner and the bones inside hollower. Their sole role is for gliding and maneuvering in the air.

Otherwise, Angelica doesn't change much physically. Her golden-blonde hair obtains a silvery shine and grows to the point where it almost reaches her ankles. It also becomes noticeably wavier. Also Angelica's eyes changes in terms of color.
They are grey when sealed, but luminates light blue while in Resurrección. Her intricate dress has been replaced with a dress of a much simpler design colored light iris. It is about as long as her normal attire, but much tighter and more revealing.
Her back, as well as her right leg, is exposed thanks to the dress. Various points on her body, including her feet, wrist, chest and head, is covered by golden armor adorned with blue jewelry.
The armor on her feet is designed to resemble a pair of sandals, while the armor around her wrists are designed to be reminiscent of a pair of bracelets. The plate on her chest is pure golden around the breast area, but directly below it is heavily decorated with blue crystals.
Both sides of her head are also covered by this golden armor and connects across her forehead.
In her released state, Angelica is equipped with a three-headed spear with a golden tip. Its handle is apparently of the same reishi composure as the jewelry which covers her armor. A shimmery orb of light is floating between the three heads of the spear.

Un Viejo Criada, Angelica's Released Form:

Resurreccion Ability: When in her released state, Angelica gains the ability to copy the reishi signature of a certain object (either a soul or an object) and transmute her reiryoku into reishi containing a signature identical to the subject this ability it is used on. She also possess the ability to actually transmute reishi that has entered the body for the past 24 hours (food, poison etc) into e.g. blood or water, but that would require a physical touch. It can also be used to repair bone fractures or severed tendons, but such restoration would requires an open wound to do so. Another proof of her ability's effectiveness, is that Angelica can restore limbs which are removed. Though this kind of work requires heavy concentration. Albeit the fact that this "healing" may seem very beneficial in case someone has to return to a battle immediately, its thorough nature and demand for great concentration makes it one of the slowest forms of healing.

Additionally, Angelica can now reverse the healed wound. Meaning that she can literally cause a newly created arm to turn into mere reishi again, as long as 24 hours hasn't passed. During the first 24 hours, the wound is stabilized by the remains of Angelica's reiryoku and slowly during the next days, the receiver of the treatments's reiryoku will take over this task. While she does not need to focus to maintain stability of the healed area, she can easily remove the reiryoku she used to 'glue' the reishi together. This ability has a somewhat restrictive nature, though. It can not be used on herself nor on living beings. This is due to the fact that their bodies are not made up by reishi. As this technique does only recover the physical body, not the reiatsu, the receiver must build up their reiatsu themselves. Despite its faults, the ability is highly versatile with a good amount of options. Sadly, Angelica's personality restricts the use of it, due to the fact that she desires to harm no one.

"Are you the one from my past?"

Background: Angelica Terra was born somewhere in Italy in the exact year of 1891, on the date of 27th August. Though unknown to her at the time, she was an illegal child, born with a middle class mother and a priest as a father. As it was illegal for priests to have children, Angelica's parents had to conceal their relationship; And the result of it.
Being given to her mother's sister, Geraldine, and her husband, Egidio, her presence was concealed. For now.
Geraldine raised her sister's child as her own and Angelica slowly grew from infant to a toddler. As Geraldine and Egidio lived in a rather large mansion, the joyful infantile Angelica could spend hours exploring all the rooms in the house. It was obvious that Egidio and Geraldine loved this child as their own. They faced a tiny obstacle, though. The foster parents had originally thought that they were infertile together, after many miscarriages. This times, things were the opposite way around. The pregnancy brought set the ever so attention demanding Angelica to the second row of importance.
While her life with her foster parents had been satisfying this far, but the tables were about to turn...
His name was Matteo. The first. Angelica stared at the boy who was being breastfed by her mother. Why had he come? Her mother and father had told her that a new child was on the way, but why did he come that fast?! They hardly glanced at her anymore. Of course, mother and father fed her, but it felt more rushed than before. It was cold... Like the winter. When she had walked out without proper clothes once. But in a slightly different way.
Silently gazing at the family, Angelica realized something. She had been replaced. This new child had come to stay.

Though her toddlerhood was spent in the darkness of a younger sibling, Angelica learned to swallow a part of the grudge she had held towards him her since the fateful day of his birth as she grew older. Showing no remorse in front of her foster parents, even smiling at her younger brother's antics. The thoughts of being put in the shadows disappeared. Ridiculous how a child thinks.
Her entire childhood was a quiet period. Other than the fact that she was repeatedly visited by her mother's sister. Sometimes, Angelica felt like the woman was staring at her. Gazing with melancholy, with a hint of happiness. But the eyes were also very intense. Each time Angelica turned to look, her aunt would be staring at her. Was this normal behavior? No, doubtful.
The woman never offered her brother more than a glance, while the eyes almost never let Angelica out of sight when her aunt was visiting. Luckily, her mother's sister was a busy woman and only visited them occasionally. Though, the frequency of her visits increased drastically during Angelica's preteens. However, so did Angelica's absence too. During this period of her life, the girl went to the church often. Being in a quite religious face, one could say that she was every parent's dream. Despite the fact that the family wasn't a strictly religious one, they were proud of her resolve to worship God. Most of her time, Angelica spent inside and outside the local congregation and helping the less fortunate than herself.

In fact, she visited the slum area when she weren't at the church or home. Attempting to force God upon the ones that had forsaken him, Angelica was unsuccessful. However, she was persistent. Continuing to visit these depraved beings, carrying out the message of the harmonious and forgiving God, often bringing food and other luxuries with her. Sometimes, some of the persons had interest and almost believed her to be an angel sent by God. Others did only pay attention to what she brought with her. Once, the girl attempted to make them pray before they ate. Some of them followed her example, while others simply started eating. Saddened by the fact that these were lost causes, the girl knew there weren't more she could do with them and thus, abandoned them.
At the age of 16, the young woman learned that her foster-parents had agreed to marry her to a nobleman. Despite the fact that they had kept it a secret from her, she tried to not be angry with them. Why? They had raised her. Loved her. Should this split them up? Ruining their very last days together as a family. No, this was a time that should be cherished. The end of an era. That's was a nice was of saying it. Leaving childhood and entering adulthood. Angelica's parents desired to give their eldest child a proper parting. The most expensive food and wine they could afford were bought. This would be a feast. A sad one, but nonetheless, a feast. And it was no silent feast. Every member of the extended family was invited; a bridal give-away had always been celebrated this way. Traditions were to be upheld, not forsaken... A value Angelica had inherited and intended to keep alive. The entire extended family was invited. Uncles, aunts, cousins, grandparents. Everyone were invited and even some were unfamiliar faces could be seen lurking in the background. The center of attraction; the coming-bride was as expected questioned about her soon-to-be husband. What could she say? Albeit the fact that she'd only met him once, he gave her bad vibes... There was something off about him. A cold, haunting feeling had overwhelmed her. Dark clouds had gathered above the future. Alas, Angelica lied. Upsetting her parents wasn't on the schedule today.
