The Yourself
CharacterThe Yourself is a Wandenreich designation shared by the identical Sternritter twins Royd Lloyd and Loyd Lloyd. Both carry the same epithet and impersonation power, the doubles Yhwach relied on during the Quincy invasion of the Seireitei.
Appearance
The Yourself is a shared designation rather than one person, so it has no fixed form of its own. It belongs to a pair of identical twins within the Sternritter, and the epithet itself is bound up with copying the look of others, which suits a power built on impersonation.
Personality
The name marks two brothers who operate as a matched set. Royd Lloyd is the twin who wore Yhwach's face to fool Soul Society during the opening invasion, while Loyd Lloyd is the twin counted among the trio of Sternritter who took on Kenpachi Zaraki in that same assault. Their shared letter reflects how closely their roles as body doubles mirror each other.

History
During the Wandenreich's first strike on the Seireitei, the two bearers of The Yourself put their matching ability to work standing in for others. Royd took the emperor's place directly, deceiving the defenders as a false Yhwach, and Loyd joined the Sternritter who confronted Kenpachi. Because the epithet and its power pass between both siblings, the name ends up pointing to either twin.
