Arrancar Research

Appearance

Nel is a female arrancar that has light green hair in the manga, but in the anime she has blue with a slight green tint to it.She has a large scar coming down from her forehead to her nose, and a pink line that stretches horizontally across her face right below her eyes.

Her form is that of a big-breasted, fully-grown young woman, with longer hair green hair. The remains of her hollow mask make up a skull with horns on her head, while her hollow hole is still hidden from view. A large "3" is tattooed on her back, indicating that she was the former 3rd Espada.

Personality

She is relatively level-headed in terms of how to fight, stating that if one's excuse for a battle is to fight out of hatred or prejudice, as Nnoitra does, then it is merely instinctual and animalistic, and that it makes the challenger look "childish", "unworthy", and "not much of a warrior". Though Neliel has proven during her last few minutes as a full-fledged Espada, that it is acceptable when it involves vengeance. Unlike many of the arrancar, Neliel is also somewhat pacifistic and, according to her Fracción, has despised engaging in combat even when she was still among (one of the highest) Espada ranks, unless it involves self-defense and protecting those dear to her heart; it is for this reason that Pesche and Dondochakka decided to simply be content with the child Nel and banished themselves from Las Noches. Neliel is relatively calm and silent when fighting, despite the strength and ferocity of some of her opponents. Neliel's also loyal, honorable, easy-going, humorous in her own right, and exhibits a cheerful, energetic demeanor when off-duty.

Zanpakutō

Gamuza (羚騎士, ガミューサ, Gamyūsa; Spanish for "Chamois", and Japanese for "antelope knight"): her Zanpakutō has a green sheath and a hilt shaped like two crescent moons joined together at each other's back.

Resurrección: its release command is "Declare" (謳え, utae). In her new form, Nel takes the form of an white ibex-like centaur, with longer curved horns, armor over her shoulders and hands, and a thick tail. In the anime, her hollow mask also extends slightly, framing the sides of her face, particularly the cheeks. Gamuza itself transforms into a double-ended lance, making it one of the few known weapon-based arrancar Zanpakutos in existence (the releases of other arrancar de-materializes upon their true forms being unleashed), much like a Shinigami's Initial Release.
