Chiikan Nanae [Arrancar/Espada]

Name: Chiikan Nanae 小神七

Age: 1479

Visual Age: 11-15

Gender: Female

Appearance: In appearance, one wouldn't think that Nanae was any older than around eleven to fifteen years of age, which is rather creepy, considering her hobbies. She stands at about 4'3", her hair is mid-back length and a pretty golden-brown colour with full, fluffy bangs and pieces in front of her ears that are an odd tan colour. Those sections hang down in front of her shoulders and stop at her collar bones. Her eyes seem almost too large in her face and are milk-chocolate brown in colour. This along with the sunny smile she usually wears give her an entirely too sweet and innocent appearance. However, there are times in which she will snap and go psycho. When this happens, her eyes narrow and turn crimson, and her sunny smile turns into a demented parody of itself. As far as clothing goes, she is usually dressed in frilly white dresses with bows on the back, and sometimes wears sparkly, silver tiaras in her hair. No one knows where exactly her Hollow hole is with the exception of maybe her fraccion. Her number is emblazoned on her left thigh, hidden under the frilly layers of her dress and her mask fragment is in the form of a collar like band around her neck.

Personality: Nanae is generally cheerful and childish in her actions, despite her true age. She can act spoiled, rather like a princess actually. Thus the reason her fraccion tend to refer to her as 'hime', rather than Nanae-sama. Despite this, there are times when she will change, her personality becoming much darker and adult, and in battle, almost psychotic. This mostly happens while she is fighting, but also occurs while... dealing with her fraccion. This side of her is widely assumed to either be her true personality, or a mental defense to protect her childish, innocent side.

History/Background: Nanae was born to a rich family in the year 1321. Her parents dotted upon their only child, and as such, she turned out slightly spoiled. Regardless, she was a sweet girl. Often, her parents let her go out and play with the children of the local village, and this instilled a sense of humility into her, which her parents approved of. They loved their daughter dearly and didn't want her to turn out to be a horrible child thanks to their spoiling of her.

While the family was good to the people that lived in their lands, not everyone loved them as much as most of the villagers did. Jealousy is a terrible thing, and it reared its ugly head in a few of the villages on the edge of the Chiikan family's land. The men gathered together and snuck to the families estate, hiding in the forest behind the estate.

Night fell, and lanterns were lit while Nanae spent the last happy moments she would ever share with her family. It was three hours after the estate went dark that everything in Nanae's world was torn apart. The men snuck in, unfortunately using her room as a break in point. Laughing, one of them grabbed her, covering her mouth with a hand before she could scream and holding a knife to her throat. Of course, the nine-year-old was terrified and did exactly as told.

She was forced to watch as they murdered her kind father, then raped and murdered her beautiful mother. Then the men left, taking the child with them and making her watch as they burned her home. In one night, her life was ruined. And it didn't end there. For two years after, she was treated as a slave, being passed back and forth between the two villages that were to blame for destroying all that she knew. Some of the men were kinder than others... some were down-right cruel, treating her like a sex slave.

It was in this manner that she died. Not long after her eleventh birthday, one of her usual torturers had gotten horribly drunk on sake, in celebration of something or another. Rather than just fucking her mouth like he normally would [which was bad enough... she'd nearly suffocated several times], he threw her onto his futon and ripped open her ragged, too small kimono and began to fuck her small body, uncaring of her screams of pain as she was torn open, and uncaring of the blood that soon had soaked into her kimono and into the futon, even soaking into the tatami mats below.

By the time he finished, Nanae had bled out, her small form still and cooling in the night air. Tear tracks were obvious on her face, liquid still gathered in the corners of unseeing, glazed over brown eyes. She was clearly dead, and there was no bringing the child back.

Nanae's spirit stood nearby, hatred burning in her chocolate eyes. So strong was her hatred for the man that her soul chain was already eroding. It took two days for her soul chain to completely erode, and a new Hollow was born.

The hollow born of Nanae's spirit went on a rampage, killing and eating the souls of everyone in both villages that had tortured her so. Eating those that could see her especially added to her strength, and she soon left the area where she'd lived the previous two years, attacking other surrounding villages and eating every soul she came across, as well as many weaker Hollows.

However, her rampage was cut short by the appearance of a pair of Shinigami. Rather than allow herself to be killed, she fled, retreating as fast as she could and disappearing into the forests, where she lived for the next three-hundred years, killing and eating any Hollow or traveler that dared enter her forests. This finally lead to her evolution into a Gillian Menos with a rather unique mask. White ear-like pieces extended from the mask, and the face could only be called cute... in a disturbing way.

Aware of her surroundings, Nanae fled to Hueco Mundo, before the shinigami could find and attack her. The Menos forest was a wonderful location, and she had plenty of others to feed on, and for a long time, that was all she did. She may have been aware, but still the Gillian's base instincts were strong, and she allowed herself to follow them until she finally evolved. Her new form was mostly a roan-red colour with a tan ruff around her neck. Her ears were long and rabbit like with tan tips, and her mask seemed to be a cross between a cat and a rabbit face, with a mouth full of super sharp fangs. Her body was like that of an adolescent wild-cat, and she had a long, fluffy tail with a tan tip.

Over all, Nanae liked her new form. Once again, her instincts lead her to hunt, fight, kill, and eat. Each feeding made her stronger and stronger, until she was able to easily beat and kill anything that came for her. However, she was getting tired of the life of an animal. Kill or be killed. The thought bored her greatly. There was nothing that she'd met in a long time that had any chance of killing her.

A few years after she started thinking these things, she was proven completely wrong when she challenged a Hollow with a broken mask who seemed almost human. He beat her, but didn't kill her, deciding to explain the existence of Arrancars to the feline Hollow. He then left her laying in the sand with the challenge to ascend to greatness... and when she had, to challenge him again.

Several years passed after that meeting, a strong rage driving her to raise to the Arrancar's challenge. Finally, though, she'd gained the information she needed to become an Arrancar herself. With an angry snarl, she ripped the mask away. Her form mutated and changed, and when it was done, only a collar-like band of her mask remained, sitting around her neck.

Not even taking into account that she was naked, her long hair the only thing that protected her modesty, she went on a hunt for the Arrancar who'd drove her for so long.

When she found him, he chuckled and threw her a simple white dress, which she begrudgingly pulled on. It was a few sizes too big, but it worked well enough. And then the fighting began.

The two fought for nearly two days before Nanae finally overcame her opponent. He revealed to her then, that he was an Espada... before ordering her to finish him and take his place among the ranks. With a dark scowl, she did as told.

Adopting a personality much like that of her former self back when she'd been human, she joined the Espada. Of course, she was looked down on for her childishness, but she didn't much care, more often than not acting oblivious to it. It was a simple trap, meant to test the other Espada. If they attempted anything, she'd have reason to kill them.

Eventually, the act developed into her "outer character", all traces of her true personality well buried behind her outer character. It was only after this that she met her first fraccion, Karayan, which quickly lead to Makaze being met, followed shortly after by Kisui.

RP Sample: Walking through the quiet desert of Hueco Mundo suited Nanae. Though she didn't often act it, she was quite mature, and enjoyed being on her own sometimes. Only sometimes, though. She was quite the attention whore, after all. Still, this was one of those times when she just wanted to be on her own.

Hours passed as she walked, humming random tunes to herself, most she couldn't even remember the name of, or where she'd heard them. It was even possible that she was making them up. She'd done so before, after all. At that moment, her thoughts and quiet humming were drowned out by a warning shout and then she was pushed out of the way by a figure in black. Distracted and deep in her own thoughts, she hadn't noticed the fact that she'd been about to walk into a fight zone. The tall figure above her had saved her from being chomped on by a regular Hollow.

"Are you okay?" her savior asked, head turned slightly back, listening behind him.

"Mhm! Heki heki!" Nanae chimed as the man stood and offered her a hand up, which she accepted. "Chiikan Nanae desu~! Anta ka?" she chirped.

"Karayan Arman," the black Arrancar replied, turning as soon as she was properly on her feet. Then he drew his blade, attacking the Hollow and killing it in a matter of moments before returning to Nanae and glaring down at her. "What did you think you were doing?! You could have been killed!" he snapped, swinging his blade about her head.

"Oh! You thought I was in danger from him?" Nanae chimed, giggling. "No, no, you're mistaken, Kara-tan! He couldn't have hurt me, after all, I'm an Espada!" she giggled, smiling brightly at Karayan, who seemed taken aback.

"Espada...? You? But..." Of course he knew what Espada were... he may not have been an Arrancar for long, but he wasn't stupid, he knew the power structure of Hueco Mundo.

"Hmmm... You're pretty strong, right? How about you become my fraccion?" Nanae asked, smiling brightly up at the tall Arrancar. This offer surprised Karayan obviously, as his crimson eyes widened and the tips of his hair started glowing oddly, along with a spot on his forehead that she could see through his bangs.

"Ore wa..." Karayan started, then knelt down, so that he wasn't talking down to the midget of a girl anymore. "I would be honoured," he stated.

"GREAT!" Nanae exclaimed happily. "Then you can give me a piggy back ride back to Las Noches! I'm tired of walking!" Before Karayan could even react to the Espada's words, she was on his back. Reflexively, his arms hooked under her knees and he stood to avoid falling.

He blinked, then smirked. "I suppose, Nanae-hime," he replied. "Though we don't have far to go," he added, walking over to the dead Hollow, who had yet to disappear. The shadow it was creating fluctuated and grew before Karayan stepped into it. And then the two of them were in his world. Darkness surrounded them, while somehow still allowing them to see. The glow from the yellow sections of Karayan's hair had faded away with the lack of moonlight, though. Within moments, Karayan was stepping out in front of Las Noches' gates.

"Whoa! That was fast! You're amazing, Kara-tan!" Nanae exclaimed, hugging onto the tall Arrancar tightly.

Innate Ability: Niji no Ohimesama [Princess of Rainbows]: While fighting alongside her fraccion, Nanae can adopt the element of one of the fraccion she is fighting with at the time. While in her adopted element, she can use one of her fraccion's techs before reverting back to normal. This ability lasts until she uses an elemental tech, at which point, she will revert to her normal form on the next post. She cannot use any of her normal techs while in an alternate element, nor can she revert back or change to a new element unless she has used one of her fraccion's techs. In addition, she can only use this while in her released state, and she must wait two of her own posts after her revert post before using this again.

Also, Niji no Ohimesama causes an appearance change for every element.

Electricity: The brown sections of her hair and ear/tail fur turns an electric yellow, and her eyes turn a bright, electric green. [Element gained.]
Water: The brown sections of her hair and ear/tail fur turns a deep blue colour, and her eyes turn a bright, tropical ocean blue. [Element gained.]
Fire: The brown sections of her hair and ear/tail fur turns fire-truck red, and her eyes turn a fire-orange colour.
Dark: The brown sections of her hair and ear/tail fur turns pitch black, and her eyes change to a crimson colour. [Element gained.]
Light: The brown sections of her hair and ear/tail fur turn snow white, and her eyes turn a pale lilac.
Ice: The brown sections of her hair and ear/tail fur turn pale blue, and her eyes turn bright, icy-blue.
Plant: The brown sections of her hair and ear/tail fur turn grass-green, and her eyes deepen to a wood-brown colour.

To start with, Nanae can only change to the elements Dark, Electricity, and Water. Every 100 points, she can add a new element, but she HAS to have a fraccion to match the element she's adding. [At this moment, only Karayan, Makaze, and Kisui are around.]
