Lilynette Gingerbuck

Lilynette has the look of a small child, an Arrancar girl dressed in white briefs marked by a central black stripe, arm warmers, a high collared vest that leaves much bare, and fur lined boots that climb to her thighs. Her Hollow hole opens at the middle of her belly. What survives of her Hollow mask forms a horned helmet across her head, its left horn seemingly snapped off and its left side sealing over that eye, which bears a painted flame design. Her one visible eye is a pale pink, and her light green hair is combed into a plain, simple style.

Bright and playful with a mischievous edge, Lilynette delights in rousing Coyote Starrk through outrageous means, such as jamming her fingers down his throat. Behind the antics runs a more thoughtful current, for she frets over the uneasy events stirring in Hueco Mundo and mourns the death of Aaroniero Arruruerie. Pride makes her bristle whenever her small stature invites others to write her off. Her bond with Starrk stands apart from the usual Espada and Fracción arrangement: she skips the deferential honorifics and simply calls him by name, behaving more like a little sister than a servant, while still respecting the true strength he is too lazy to display. Between the two of them, nearly all of the drive belongs to her.

Starrk and Lilynette began as a single Hollow of overwhelming loneliness, one so powerful that weaker Hollows died merely from being near it. Aching for company, the being came to envy the frail and eventually tore its own soul in two so the halves could exist together, giving rise to Starrk and Lilynette. When he asked whether the newly formed Arrancar had a name, she answered with hers and returned the question, and he promised the two would never be parted. Sōsuke Aizen discovered the pair amid a field of dead Hollows and recruited them, drawn by a strength that let him stand near them unharmed.

She first appears rousing a slumbering Starrk in Hueco Mundo after Rukia Kuchiki slays Aaroniero. Brought to the false Karakura Town to face the Gotei 13, she kicks Starrk for meekly ceding command to Baraggan Louisenbairn, then insists on battling Jūshirō Ukitake, who refuses to harm a girl of her appearance and holds her off with ease, even catching her feeble Cero barehanded. Starrk finally reveals the truth of their nature: rather than dividing power between a body and a sword as other Arrancar do, the two of them split into separate bodies, and rejoining unleashes their full strength. Lilynette merges back into him, and when Shunsui Kyōraku deals Starrk a mortal wound, she perishes together with him.
