•
Aspect Of Death: Sacrifice

•
Appearance: Narcisa appears to be a beautiful and well-endowed woman of one hundred and seventy-four centimetres. She weighs about fifty-one kilograms. She has extremely pale skin and has pitch black hair which is silky straight and reaches down to her lower back. She usually keeps it tied in a bun or pony tail. Usually the former. She has pitch black eyes and well groomed eyebrows. Her right ear has a stretcher and a cartilage piercing. Narcisa's Espada tattoo is located right in the centre of her chest and her hollow hole below her naval. The remnants of her hollow mask take the form of the ear stretcher that was mentioned earlier.
Narcisa doesn't wear the usual Espada uniform. In fact, her outfit is much more oriental. Due to the fact that Narcisa doesn't require much movement other than Resurrection and sonido, she wears a predominantly black and body-hugging kimono with white rims and obi. The bottom of her kimono also has white floral patterns. The kimono extends well beyond her height and trails behind her. Because of this, her sandals can't be seen.

Personal Story: Where to begin . . . Narcisa started out as a simple hollow like any other. Having a mind of her own however, she began to consume other Hollows evolving into a gillian. For a while, she lost all sense of individuality but her spirit soon came over the entire creature. She managed to consume other gillian and eventually evolved. But the fear of regression took hold and she continued to consume other hollows finally evolving into the final class of Hollow: Vasto Lorde. Her Vasto Lorde form took that of a tiger. A false god. Her loud roar of victory always echoed throughout the eternal night of Hueco Mundo. She grew tired as a Vasto Lorde and wanted to seek something even more powerful. She definitely found what she was looking for. But by a method that she would have never dreamed would be so painful. Just at the peak of her power, she was fighting another one of her kind when she forcibly ripped his mask off. Before he died, he managed to shatter hers. But instead of her death, what greeted her was her new arrancar form. No longer did she have to live life as a Hollow in fear of regression. She was something else now. And she didn't the fear. But Narcisa's aggressive personality also left her along with her fear of regression. She became much more calm only fighting when she needed to.
The next chapter of her life would be the many disputes she has had in Las Noches.
Unlike most, who made their way up the ranks through the Espada, Narcisa started as the Primera Espada due to her enormous spiritual energy. However, disputes between her and the segunda soon rose a few years after she came. The segunda managed to falsely accuse her of being a traitor within the first century of her being in Las Noches. She knew that her life would be in danger so she quietly slipped out of the palace and went missing in Hueco Mundo concealing her spiritual pressure for over three hundred years. During those times, she was planning to regain her position as Primera Espada and regain everyone's trust. She spent the years hiding in the forest of Menos away from the palace walls where waited for the right moment.
She knew that after three hundred years of being away from the palace, stories of her might have diminished. Her speculation was proven true when she made her sudden and flashy reappearance. She broke into Las Noches and the first thing she did was have the head of the person who had dared to mess with her: the segunda. She tortured him to death. It was one of the most brutal scenes played within the walls of the palace. Thereafter, no one questioned her to be a traitor after she revealed all that had happened. The place for the Primera had been open ever since she had left and she was welcomed back again.
Things have been quiet for the last years or so. She has remained in the position of the Primera. She has no objections to being second in the scale of power so long as she helps the cause: to tear apart the Soul Society.

Equipment: Fan: Narcisa keeps a traditional Japanese fan with her, usually tucked safely in her obi. It's a white fan with black floral patters, opposite to that on her kimono.
•
Mindset: Narcisa is, first and foremost, very soft-spoken for an Espada. She remains quiet and doesn't speak unless it is needed. She often complains about work but most know that they are superficial and don't really mean anything. Narcisa doesn't try to get along with anyone and doesn't care whether or not they hate her. She'll dispatch them if they become a threat anyway. She is a gentle character and handles delicate situations with utmost care and patience. She has a rather soothing voice when she speaks, yet it is her voice that plays against most of her opponents. Nevertheless, Narcisa still commands respect from those below her and likewise, respects Espada Cero. She has little care for those she dislikes. The woman is intelligent and cunning as well as powerful.
•
Skills: Narcisa's ability revolve around wave manipulation. Her voice is something that is precious to her and is her primary offensive weapon. Even when not in resurrection, she can use her vocal chords to emit sound with a certain pitch which can easily break through walls, shatter bones and even bend steel. She is the primera Espada after all.
Sonido: While Narcisa isn't the fastest, her speed isn't to be messed with.
Spiritual pressure: Narcisa's spiritual pressure is a pure white colour and has a great restraining effect. If anyone who was weak came into contact with her spiritual pressure, they could easily drop dead like a fly.
Swordsmanship: Narcisa fights with two blades instead of one. One of them is shorter than the other. She is a master when it comes to swordsmanship. Her skill is shown by her speed of attacks. A seemingly singular attack is actually three slashes.
Cero/Gran-Rey Cero and Bala: Narcisa's Cero and Gran-Rey Cero are a pitch black colour and have a much higher destructive force than your normal cero. Her Bala is a stronger version of the normal bala but retains the same colour as it's normal counterpart.
Hierro: Narcisa has a strong hierro being able to block blades with her hands alone. Still, she has a considerably weaker hierro than most of the other Espada.
Regeneration: This is the reason why Narcisa's hierro isn't as strong as most. She can regenerate quite rapidly should she find herself without a limb or two. In fact, her regeneration extends to the ability to regenerate any organ but her heart.
Now Comes the Fun Stuff
Ressurection Name: Tigre Dios (God Tiger)
•
Unreleased: It takes the form of two blades. The 'Dios' half being the longer of the bladed and the Tigre half being the shorter. Both blades are pitch black in colour but the Dios blade has a while line down the middle. The hilt matches the blades' colour but there is a white guard that extends in a floral pattern onto the blade that separates them.
•
Ressurection: Narcisa doesn't need to release both her blades at the same time. Though it isn't possible with the Dios blade, she can release the Tigre blade to achieve somewhat of a 'half-resurrection' state. The release command for Tigre is 'rip asunder'. When in this form, Narcisa wears a white dress that reaches mid-thigh. She has armour that covers her shoulders and extends as gloves as well as covering her legs as boots. Her armour had black tiger-like markings on it. Her eyes become more cat-like as well and she wields a spear when in this form. This form isn't anything special. It only escalates her power level, speed and defence.
Narcisa has no pose to release either of her states. When she unleashes, a white light surrounds her followed by a shockwave of her spiritual pressure. When that subsides, it gives way to her true form, either half-resurrected or fully resurrected.
In order to enter full release state, Narcisa needs to exit her half-resurrection if she was in it. As of now, no one has seen her full resurrection and none but the Cero know that she has a true release. The release command for Tigre Dios is 'rule over all.' Her resurrection is indeed fit for a god-like being. In full form, Narcisa has a body-hugging white dress with a plunging neckline stopping just above her naval, that reaches well below her feet. Her Espada tattoo doesn't disappear when she enters resurrection and becomes fully exposed. Her dress has black stripes much like her half-resurrection form. Her armour extends from her shoulder and drops down to form skeletal wings. She has two most prominent changes in full resurrection. One is the colour of her eyes. The colour of the iris becomes pure white while the colour of the sclera turns black. Her eyes become cat-like slits. Two tiger-like black stripes seem to emerge in both directions from each of her eyes. Her hollow mask disappears to leave a second hole in her ear and reappears to form horns on the crown of her head. They rise up for a while before taking a sharp turn and extending down the length of her hair. And two, her extremely huge bow that attaches itself to her arm (much like Soi Fon's bankai). It is more circular and also acts as a shield for her. She can, however, move it to her back for protection and to allow free movement of her right arm.
Apart from having enhanced versions of her existing abilities and being able to fire her spiritual pressure using her bow, Narcisa gains additional abilities that go beyond her sound manipulation. As if she couldn't become any more lethal.
Aplauso Blanco (White Applause): The bow-shield moves to her back so that she's free to move around. If an attack comes towards her, she does not run. Instead, right before the attack hits, she claps her hands completely nullifying it by sending a burst of spiritual pressure to counteract the attack. With it, she unleashes a counter-attack of the same magnitude at the incoming one.
Miríada de Flechas (Myriad Arrows): This attack involves using her bow. The arrows are made up of her spiritual pressure. It's something like a Quincy's power. Using her bow, Narcisa shoots a single arrow into the sky above. It seemingly disappears. During this little time, Narcisa used her shield to shield herself from the incoming assault of arrows that pour down around her. They hit with great force around the surrounding area and could pummel more or less anything in their way. Narcisa can use a concentrated version of the attack by simply firing the arrow upwards again and pointing to a specific target. The arrows that rain down will be targeted to said target.
