Cirucci Sanderwicci

Cirucci dresses in the Gothic lolita mode, a frilly gown with puffed sleeves that end at the shoulder, knee-high boots, fingerless evening gloves, and leg warmers strung to garters at her thighs. Her hair and eyes are purple, her nails black, and a pale teardrop sits below each eye as her estigma. What remains of her Hollow mask rests in her hair above the left of her forehead like a spiked pin, and a pair of wings, possibly part of her attire, spread from her back. Once Mayuri brings her back, a long line of stitches runs from cheek to brow and the wings are gone entirely.

Blunt, cocky, and faintly sadistic, Cirucci sneers at the foes she faces and never hesitates to throw their own flaws back at them, as she does with Uryū Ishida. She bristles at being struck while she is still mid-sentence, but beneath the attitude lies real determination, and she will do whatever it takes to bring an opponent down.

A former Espada, Cirucci wields considerable spiritual power, colored pink, and by Dordoni's reckoning ranks among the strongest Arrancar in Las Noches short of the current Espada. She handles her unusual weapon with skill and cunning, pairs superhuman strength with a knack for laying traps, and her Zanpakutō, Golondrina, takes the sealed shape of a whip fitted with a disc-shaped blade that can turn aside projectiles and even curve through the air to chase a target.

Released at the command Rip Off, Golondrina sprouts great bladed wings, a beaked headpiece with a heavy mane, a prehensile tail, and long clawed arms. The particles along the wing edges vibrate over a million times a second to slice through matter and deflect spiritual energy, and she can extend the wings as a single cutting blade, scatter their feathers as projectiles, or, by shedding the wings and arms altogether, pour everything into her tail to form a fan or sword of raw energy. Uryū Ishida wore this arsenal down during their duel in Hueco Mundo, finally running a Seele Schneider through her to seal her power away and spare her life.

She did not stay dead. The Exequias carried her off to be executed, and her corpse eventually reached Mayuri Kurotsuchi, who rebuilt her for his Corpse Unit and armed her with a new trick: a postcognition drug, spread through her own blood, that traps a victim in a mental time loop. Drawn out during the second Wandenreich invasion, she cut through zombified Soul Reapers, downed Rōjūrō Ōtoribashi, and endured Mayuri's punishing brain-shocks whenever she talked back.
