-Basic Information-

Name: Aurora Guerrero

Age of Death/Rebirth: 21

Real Age/Age of Appearance: 354/21

Birthday (Month/Day): 10/31

Blood Type: AB

RP Sample (Optional): Hotaru/Vesta/Nesr/Zahra/previous Aurora posts

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Appearance-

Height/Weight: 6' 1" and 200 lbs of pure muscle.

Physical Description: Aurora is 6'1" so she's pretty tall compared to other people that she always looked down on them. Her complexion is befitting someone from Spain. It's a nice brown color. Her eyes are nice light yellow color. If she gets angry with you, they will start to glow. Her hair is one really interesting trait about her. It's orange with black tips and black streaks through it, just like a tiger. She also has a huge braid that goes all the way down to her butt, with a blade attached at the end of it. She uses it to kill people when she's just too bored to draw her zanpaktou. A flip of the hair will do it for them.

For her clothing, it is somewhat different than what you expect. She refuses to wear shoes, saying that impede her hunting, so she always goes barefoot. NO EXCEPTIONS. She does wear the normal espada pants. She also wears a unique jacket that she made herself. She wanted to show how powerful she was to other hollows and arrancar that would come into contact with her. So, she made her jacket out of the pelts of hollows she has slain (which are all fur corpses, no shinigami). She pairs it with leather fingerless gloves to make her look like a bad ass. She also sports fangs, but they aren't as long as she would like. They are just long enough to be seen when she closes her mouth, peeking out about a half an inch.

As for her hollow hole and mask sections, her hollow hole is in the place where her belly button would be. It's also not as large as a normal hollow hole, maybe like half the size, to make it fit better down on her stomach. Her mask fragment is on the right side of her face. Most of it resides on top of her head. It's the right side of a cat skull, with the fang long enough to stop right above her right eyebrow. At her jawline, also on the right side of her face, is a little part of the bottom jaw, with the lower fang shorter, hitting her halfway between her jaw and lower lip.

Now, since she is the Septima Espada, she needed to find a good place to put her number. The best place that think could think of that wasn't either on her face or upper body was on her forearms. So, when you look at her forearms, you'll see two big sevens, one on each. They are facing opposite directions, so no matter what way that you look at them, you know exactly what rank she is and how powerful she can be. Her pelt jacket now has added pelts in it that shape into the number seven as well. This way, no one can doubt how powerful she is.

-Personality-

Dislikes:

• Sunlight. The sun is pretty much overrated anyway. It's too hard to hunt efficiently in the light.
• Humans. She only likes them as food. For the most part, they talk too much and are too full of themselves. They're just ripe for the killing.
• Dogs. They just irk her. Every time she sees one, she wants to kill it in the most horrible way she can imagine, which is pretty bad.
• Goodness. Goodness has always been over rated. It's just funer to do what you want when you want and damn everyone else.
• Doctors. Doctors are the stupid people that help others. People should be strong enough to avoid serious injury so they wouldn't need doctors. If they're too old, too bad. It's called natural selection for a reason.
• Weakness. The weak don't deserve to live. Only the strong should survive.
• Shinigami. After the ordeal she went through with the tainted hollow and what they did to Shiki, she now hates all shinigami even more than she did before. They deserve to pay for what they did to them.

Likes:

• Darkness. It's much easier on her eyes. It's also easier for her to hide in shadows to stalk her prey in darkness.
• Cats. Since she was a cat, she is drawn to them. She's even been known to have cats around her a few times.
• The moon. Looking at it puts her mind at a somewhat ease state, if she even has one of those. The clear nights with beautiful moonlight seem to be her favorite, so she can lay under it.
• Killing. It's her favorite pastime. She hasn't found anything else that she enjoys more.
• Blood. It's one of her favorite parts of killing. Though, with every hollow she's eaten, the bloods all have slightly different tastes. She was starting to become a somewhat connoisseur of blood tasting. She would hunt certain hollow based on what she already had that she liked their blood taste.
• Shiny things. She just doesn't know what it is about them. She just finds one and...OH, LOOK! A SHINY GOLD COIN! *runs off in its direction*
• Lounging under the moon. She loves the moon. So, when it's particularly dark out with a bright full moon shining down, she will go find a nice spot and just lay there, enjoying the time under it.

Flaws:

• Her anger. She uses it as her greatest strength. But, if she gets too angry, she could lose focus and it could become her great weakness.
• Her attitude. If she thinks that she's better than you, she won't hesitate to say something. But, if you turn out to be her equal or more powerful than her, she would've underestimated you and you gain the upper hand.
• Distraction. Just like a cat, she can be distracted. Like, if she finds something new and interesting to do and you're too boring, she'll just say f you and go to the more fun thing.

Habits:

• Meticulous grooming. After every time she eats, or honestly touches anything that she deems as icky, she will have to clean herself. If she doesn't, it will gnaw at her until she does it.
• Warm-ups. Before she does any battling, she will do a quick warm-up to loosen her muscles. It's nothing too long or strenuous, just enough to get her loose to kill some fools.

Fears:

• Beaten by a lesser being. She would mind if she got defeated by someone better than her, but she would understand since it's survival of the fittest. But if she got bested by someone that was lesser than her in anyway would completely destroy her and she would have no reason to exist.
• Defeated by the shinigami. She never wants to be bested in battle. But, when it inevitably happens, she definitely doesn't want it to be a shinigami. Those human look a likes are pretty much food and she will never want to be beaten by food.
• Being defeated by a dog. It wouldn't even have to be a dog per say. Just getting defeated by anything related to a dog would be a disgrace to her, making her go into a fit of rage so great, you wouldn't want to be in her way.

Goals:

• To be the strongest. Since her life motto is survival of the fittest, she wants to be the fittest. She wants all hollows to bow to her every whim and have to luxury to kill whatever hollows she wanted without repercussions.
• To eat an arrancar. She was finally able to taste a shinigami in her long treks across the sands. Now, she is curious as to what one of her own would taste like and if they would taste differently than a hollow.

Alignment: Chaotic Evil

Aspect of Death: Rage

Overall Personality: Her personality is pretty much summed up in one word. Crazy. She will do whatever she wants, whenever she wants. Whether it be to just go on a homicide spree killing everything in sight, or just sitting in the sand and remembering the good old days. Whenever she wants something, she wants it yesterday and will do whatever she can to make it happen. Her personality can be all over the place. Only the people that she actually lets in and trusts will see how differently she can act around them. With them, she can actually act a bit more sane.

But, that's only if she really likes them. Most people that see her think that she's perfectly fine, until they actually talk to her. You can easily piss her off if you say the wrong thing to her. Then, they'll either die or run screaming then die when she catches them. After all, every good cat loves a chase. She doesn't care who she hurts. Everyone not as strong as her she considers food to eat and those that are above her, she will want to fight and get stronger so that she can eventually take their role and eat them. You definitely don't want to get on her bad side.

But, there is a side of her that pretty much no one gets to see. It was like she was before everything happened to her. There is still a part of her, no matter how tiny, that wants to love again. That really just wants her to be a part of something. It's one of the reasons she learned about the Espada, so she could belong to something again. Of course, no one sees this part of her. She always keeps it hidden inside of her and behind her rage, so no one can hurt her that bad again. If they did, she would kill them.

Now, let's talk about what would happen if she met someone that was a supposed 'authority.' First of all, she would try to assess their power before she said anything to them. She prides herself on her senses, so if she senses great power from them, she would treat them with some respect. If she senses great power from someone, she will definitely watch herself around them, knowing that they could snap her in a instant, but she would train heavily to try and beat them one day, in secret of course.

If someone came around her that thought they were her authority and she didn't sense great power from them, she would probably just brush them off at first and not give them the time of day. She only really respects power. The only way she would respect those people was if she fought them and they beat her. If they can't do that, then she would more than likely try to kill them afterwards. She believes you shouldn't go around boasting that you have authority when you don't have the power to back it up.

There are a few things about her that have changed since she was graced with the position of the Septima Espada. Since she is now an authority figure around Las Noches, she swings around that authority more often, pushing peopls out of the way and just making some people's lives living hells because she can. The rage she feels is still there, as well as the hunger, but since her trial with that weird mist hollow thing, she has rethought a few things. She now tries to not eat everything in site and respects Shiki, the Cuarta Espada, a lot more than she thought she would.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Powers-

Fighting Style: Her fighting style is pretty straight forward. She gets in your face and shreds. She's not the type of person, or fighter for that matter, to just keep jumping around an area. She thinks that you're pretty much a pansy if all you do is jump around while people are trying to hit you. If you can't man up and just face your enemy straight on, you are nothing to her. She might stalk an enemy to follow them, but it's always following them to try to find a better place for her to jump out and get them.

She also hates trying to fight people that are long distance. She is more of the type of person that will try to tank through everything, power through everything, to get to her enemy and beat the living crap outta them. She will pretty much do whatever she can to get close and make the enemy bleed like a squealing pig. She will use some speed to try to get up to the same speed if needed. But really, she only concentrates on force.

When she releases, however, some of that fighting style changes slightly. Since discovering her new powers, she can actually fight people long distance. Even though she hates it, it gives her a slight advantage to attack both in close and long range. The mist that she creates makes her enemies under her control to a point, making it easier for her to get into close range with them and hit them when they're not paying attention or distracted by the effects of her mist.

Zanpakutou Appearances: In its sealed state, it is the standard sword. There are only a few differences. The scabbard of her sword is orange in color. There are black stripes on it, and if you can see it, the stripes form an image of a tiger roaring. She was able to steal it off some traders while she was alive and kept it all these years as a souvenir. She thought she lost it, but when she became an Arrancar, it appeared again. It's one of her only mementos of her life.

The guard of her zanpaktou is the normal length with no carvings. Instead it has four teeth, canines, that start from the guard and go down, curving to touch the scabbard. She can wield it if she wants, and her gloves are able to protect her hands from the teeth of her sword. When others try to grab it, the teeth will injure them. The hilt of her zanpaktou is also covered with fur. Tiger fur to be exact. When she unsheathes her sword, there is an intricate carving of running tigers down the length of the blade.

In Primera Etapa, there are some pretty noticeable differences that take effect. The first is that the fur spirals out to cover all the empty spots that show from her armor. She gains armor, that covers most of her body, gaining the durability of Hierro. It's completely pitch black armor with small spigots peppered all over it to expel her gas from. The half mask on her face becomes complete. She gains the left side of the mask on the left side of her face and it knits together to make her helmet.

Pitch black tubes come out from her helmet that connect to the back of her armor for her airflow with clear lenses covering the empty sockets of her eyes. There is a noticeable air mask over her mouth so she can still talk, but it's colored to match her helmet. The natural fangs that she has grow about another inch. So, if she closed her mouth in this form, they would show about an inch and a half. She also gains a tail in this form. Those are the only big physical differences about her in this form.

Her blade changes with her. Once her fur starts to form, her blade disappears. Instead, she gains new weapons. What materializes are two new knives that she can wield. Their grips are orange and black (of course) but the blade is different. It is inverted. The blade goes over her fingers, for protection and to better put her power behind it. The edge of the blade is serrated. This way, she can hit and shred at the same time.


Zanapkutou Release Names(Include both stage names, and call out phrases) Encircle, Niebla

Overall Ability: Aurora is able to funnel out a highly caustic cloud of toxic gases and chemicals to a diameter of ten feet, climbing high into the sky (meaning the height doesn't matter) that fries the air, smelling of burnt ozone until the gas contacts something and then the smell shifts to burning or melting. The gas is a roiling cloud of reactions going off constantly causing harsh burns and creating an unbreathable zone within its borders. By spending 50 reiatsu, Aurora can funnel out a pillar like cloud of gas is any direction she is facing. This cloud is highly caustic and toxic and stay in place for 5 posts after its creation. The wall of gas is unable to be seen through from the outside.

The gas melts through anything it comes into contact with in the first post of contact with the gas skin is already beginning to melt off and bleeding will occur. By the end of the third post, there is no skin left on the flesh. The fourth post, most of the muscle is gone and bone is exposed and by the 6th post, the bone is so brittle is will crumble like wet sand. This gas is unable to be moved by the wind or any wind like effect that does not have stat superiority to Aurora and it has a set diameter of

The gas itself hits with her Reiatsu Strength. Once the gas is activated, the opponent will have to pay 100 reiatsu per post to try to resist the strength of her gas. The way to avoid this high price is to have a point in Poison Resist, Pain Tolerance and/or Illusion Resist (when applicable). If there is one point in any of those, the cost goes down to 75 reiatsu. Two points goes down to 50 reiatsu and three points is 25 points. This goes for ALL of the gases that she can create.

Now, there is a way to have Aurora’s gas effect herself. If an enemy is able to break her mask in anyway or disrupt the flow of air to her gas mask, she will immediately start to feel the effects of her gas and will have to go through the same ordeal as her opponent.

Primera Etapa Overall Ability: When she releases and gains her armor and new weapons, she can control how much gas the armor and weapons gives off. The spigots on her armor, as well as her blades themselves, can give off gas once they formed (picture All Might when he switches between his normal and muscle form). The gas that the armor will continuously give off a white colored gas that is for cinematic purposes only. It does not have any kind of effects.

With all of the spigots on her armor, she is able to let out controlled blasts of gas to whichever direction she wants. This also lets her use her overall ability by shooting out pillars of caustic acid clouds, but they will be more defined control with the spigots. With her weapons, she can shoot out acidic gas while striking someone to add in caustic effects. For this amount of control, the costs to do this will scale. For anything small, such as a brief jet lasting two seconds, will cost 25 reiatsu. 50 to 100 reiatsu costs would be used for gradually larger clouds with diameters of 100 feet, 350 feet and 500 feet respectively. For something extreme, like filling a half mile with any of her gases, it will cost her 150 reiatsu. All of these reiatsu costs will be PER POST and the bigger the gas cloud, the more draining it is on her.

Zanpakuto Techniques: All of the gases of these techniques have a diameter of 500 feet, having the same limit as her normal acid gas and all of the post durations will be for five posts.

Technique: Gas alucinógeno (Hallucinogenic Gas):
When she wills it, she will be able to shoot out this new form of Hallucinogenic Gas, making anyone that steps into it feel like they’re extremely high and start seeing illusions in front of their face. The color of the cloud is a very inviting color, light pastel colors, and the cloud itself will try with illusions to bring people into it. This cloud is used to disorient her opponents so she could sneak up on them or throw them off balance.

Technique Cost: 100 reiatsu

Technique Drawbacks: If anyone has a point in Illusion Resist, it will make it easier for them to avoid/resist the cloud. One point, they might notice something off, but if they don’t have stat superioity, they would still get drawn in. Two points, it will work half as well, but without stat superiority, more than likely will get drawn in. Three points, it will work 75% of the time but will more than likely not work if they have stat superiority. Four points, no effect

Technique: Gas nervioso (Nerve Gas):
Once she wills the gas to change, the gas will go slightly colorless, with a slight black tinge to it. This gas will work as a paralyzing agent on her enemies, making them stay in place while she can quickly attack them without any issues.

Technique Cost: 100 reiastu

Technique Drawbacks: If anyone has a point in Pain Tolerance, it will make it easier for them to fight off the agent. One point, they might be able to move one appendage (hands/feet). Two points, can move one limb (arms/legs). Three points, two limbs and four points, no effect.

Technique: Gas de óxido nitroso (Nitrous Oxide Gas):
Once she wills the gas to change, the gas will get a slight yellowish color (the yellow color will intensify with more concentration). This gas has two effects, dependant on concentration, light yellow color it will work as a laughing gas. Darker yellow color, it will work as a knockout gas.

Technique Cost: 100 reiastu

Technique Drawbacks: If anyone has a point in Poision Resist, it will help to fight off the effects. One point and without stat superiority, they will see it and notice it but it will still take effect. Two points, it will work only half the time and ONLY if they have state superiority. Three points, works 75% of the time and with stat superiority, will not work. Four points, no effect.

Technique: Sérum de fuerza de último recurso (Last Resort Strength Serum):
This is the technique that she uses as an extreme last resort when she’s backed into a corner. She will break off a piece of her gas mask to breathe in this green gas, so the effects will effect both her and her opponent. Aurora's and her opponent's offensive stat will increase per post that its breathed in (increased by 25 points per post).

Technique Cost: 300 reiatsu

Technique Drawbacks: While Aurora and her opponent(s) breathe this gas in, they lose the ability to think clearly. The longer they stay in it, the more that their rages will take control till they will attack everything on sight. Her opponents must have offensive stat superiority BEFORE THE INCREASE of 50% to fend it off. Once the effects have worn off, Aurora's release will immediately end due to fatigue. Also, if she changes to ANY OTHER GAS besides this one, since her mask is broken, she will feel the effects of them the same as her opponent.


Other Techniques: All mastered

SPOILER: Click to show

{Bala}
An Arrancar-exclusive technique that hardens the user's Reiatsu and releases it like a swift blast of spiritual energy. While the technique is not nearly as powerful as a Cero, its speed is 20 times faster and allows for it to be fired in quick repetition. The orb of reiatsu fired varies in size and strength, some Arrancar creating one the size of a basketball with the rough power of a massive punch, and others creating Bala with enough power to blast holes in adversaries. Some Espada can create Bala as large and powerful as an average Arrancar's Cero.

50 Reiatsu cost.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Sonido}
A powerful technique, Sonido is a step that increases movement speed for a single step. Essentially, it magnifies the speed of just that one step, by 13 times. Each step for Sonido costs 100 Reiatsu. Additionally, this technique does not take up a technique slot.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Sonido Garra}
The Shinigami have a technique called Shunpo Karin, which increases the speed of one of their limbs for one movement with an enhanced Shunpo. In other words, they get a 10x speed boost for one arm or leg movement. Oftentimes, Arrancar took unnecessary damage against sword strikes from that technique. To counter it, they created something new.

Sonido Garra is a partial Sonido technique which enhances a single limb's movement for one single movement with a Sonido. In other words, for one movement, either a leg or arm can use Sonido to speed up. 13x is the speed boost associated with Sonido Garra.

How to use technique:
Activate the technique. Unlike Sonido, which costs 100 reiatsu to activate, Sonido Garra costs 150 reiatsu every time one wishes to use it. It can only be used once per post.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Cero}
Available only to Hollows or Arrancar of at least Gillian status, Cero is the signature technique of higher level Hollow races. This concentrates their reiatsu into a condensed blast of light which fires out, usually from the hands or similar body part, though many can use it from their chests, feet, mouths, or other appendages. Color is usually red, but many Arrancar have learned how to alter the color of their fired Cero. When charging it appears to be an orb, but when fired is a large, very wide beam. It has a distinct high-pitched sound when charging, and a very low growl when fired. Anyone can hear either, and thus discerning a Cero is very easy. In power, weaker Cero explode on contact with targets, but some Cero have enough power to keep going after hitting a target, and simply consume and disintegrate it.

Reiatsu cost of 200, despite being class 4.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Luna Paso Cero (Moon Step Cero)}
A Class 6 Cero expelled from the user's feet to propel them through the air. By controlling the power of the blast, the technique can vary. A powerful blast can cause the user to rocket upwards, but damages the ground they were standing on. By doing this repeatedly, the user can zigzag through the air. A weaker blast will merely cause the user to "hop", but if done repeatedly, the user can literally bounce on thin air, allowing them to cross gaps by bunny-hopping across them. And if the user is sent flying, they can merely hop down to the ground safely in the same way one would walk down stairs.

-History-

Birthplace: Madrid, Spain

Current Residence: Las Noches

Memorable Figures: Pirates. They took what they wanted with no regrets. It's how she lives her life.
Sargon Denumic - The first Espada that she found. Even though she didn't understand what he was doing, making her pretty much do fetch quests, it was thanks to him that she was able to grow and find a place in Las Noches.
Shikitsuhiko Isayama - The Espada that has helped grow in more ways than one. She respects him more than most of the arrancar in Las Noches.

History: Aurora grew up in a fairly well-to-do Spanish family. She was always dressed up in nice, fancy dresses and went to all the royal balls at the palace. She enjoyed every minute of it. It seemed that every time she tried on a dress, the maker would just give it to her due to her beauty and ability to wear it. She would of course flatter them as well, which always helps. She was always in the town gossip as well, which suited her just fine.

Her family showered her with love, money and rich gifts. Well, she loved all the things she could buy with all the money they threw at her and she did love them, but she assumed that the only way they could show this love was with their money. Hey, whatever worked for them suited her fine. She barely had to pay for anything however, since she could get most of the things she really wanted for free.

But, she had her moments. You see, her family gained all of their money through shipping. They would pretty much ship whatever their client wanted overseas to any destination, if they could pay enough for it. She was taken to the shipyards as a child, her father showing her the ropes so she would learn how to lead his business. He would always tell her that of course her husband would be the one running the business, but she could then make sure he was doing well.

After that day, she would sneak out every so often to go back to the family shipyard, just to stare at the boats. She thought it was fascinating that people actually made something big enough to carry people and cargo across the vast seas and oceans to lands beyond. It made her curious as to what was outside her little world. Slowly, she was able to talk to some of the crew on their family ships. After a few years, and they got to know her better, they started to teach her how to actually run a ship.

By the time she was sixteen, she was able to easily run a ship with the best of the family's crew. Of course, she lied to her parents to sneak out to talk to the crew and learn the ropes. She kept telling them that she was taking classes to 'become a better lady.' Her parents just went along with it because they were so rich, they wouldn't notice money leaving for classes. It was the only really good excuse she could use. The townsfolk that happened to see her sneak out, if they did at all, said nothing to anyone about it.

There was one day, while walking with her father through the family docks, she wanted to come clean to him. She still wore her fancy clothes and acted like a proper lady should. But, when she started learning the ropes on a ship, it made her yearn to adventure, to leave this place and the dresses behind to actually go do something with her life. Not just stay in the same town, marry a person that was expected of her and be his arm candy/baby maker for the rest of her life. It wasn't the way she wanted to be.

Once her parents started showing their love by throwing money at her, she would save it up. Then, when she got to be her current age, when she sneaked out to the docks, she would also go to the weapon smith. She would always go in and ask everything she could think of about the weapons that he sold there. He answered all her questions with patience and calm. It surprised him that she was actually asking all these questions, but it seemed like he didn't mind the questions.

When she decided on the right time to tell her father about what she was doing, however, she went to the weapon smith again. This time, she covered her face and body more so, she hoped, that people couldn't tell who she actually was. She walked into the store and took the hood off. He smiled at her and asked if she had any questions. She told him no and she wanted the best sword he could get for her. She then put her money on the counter. Before he could move it back, she sternly told him that she actually wanted to pay for something and to get this for her, money would be no object.

It only took a week. The only way she found out was that one of her servants in the house, who actually knew that she was leaving the house for her 'other errands,' answered the door. A runner from the weapon smith was at the door and to let her know that the package was ready. Once she found out her sword was ready, she quickly changed into her, what she liked to call 'urchin clothes,' and ran towards the smith.

Once she got there, she took her hood off and saw the smith there, smiling at her as always. There was a box on the table and, as if he knew what she was thinking, nodded and opened the box. What she saw in it was the most beautiful sword she had ever seen. It was a sword that she had never seen before. Right before she asked, he said, "This sword is from Japan. It's called a katana. It's the best made sword that I know of. They asked if you wanted any kind of detail on the blade. You remind me of a tiger, always having the great strength to get what you want, so I said tiger. This is what they came up with and I'm pleased with it. I hope you are too."

She just stared at it in awe. It was the perfect length for a sword. It was so bright, she almost couldn't look at it. On the blade itself, there was a tiger. But, not just any kind of tiger, but a roaring tiger, running across the length of the blade. The whole design was beautiful and she didn't know what to say but, "Thank you so much." He nodded back at her. Thankfully, she had already paid him, so she sheathed her new sword in the scabbard and ran back home.

Fast forward to today, with her father on the docks. Once they completed inspection, they started to walk back home. Her father then started to ask her how her classes were going. She continued to walk and spoke only loud enough for her father to hear. "Actually father, I haven't been going to classes. There were never any classes to begin with. What I've actually been doing is learning how to be a part of a crew on a ship. The ships just fascinate me so father. I can't help it. I want to go on an adventure, outside of Spain and see the world."

Her father just stared at her. He was kind of in disbelief. He honestly didn't know what to say. She know that she didn't want to lose her. They had just lost her mother a few months ago due to disease. But, she really hoped that he would let her go. She held his hand and looked into his eyes, just hoping for something. Hoping beyond hope that he would actually let her go. Then, after what seemed like forever, he nodded his agreement, only letting her go with the hands that helped her.

She was so happy, she didn't know what to do. She hugged her father tightly and they quickly walked home. She got her clothes ready, kissed her father good-bye and was on the next ship out. She would climb the ropes, enjoying the fresh sea air. Her favorite post was the crow's nest, so she could see everything around the ship. She would get teased from the men, but once they saw what she could do, they left her alone.

She left her home when she was sixteen. She didn't come back till she was twenty-one. In the years she was gone, she kept up correspondence with her father, making sure she stayed in contact. He let her know that she did, in fact, find someone she thought was worthy enough to become her husband and they had been married at sea three years ago. They also had a small boy together, also three years old.

Her father was so happy she was going to come back and see his grandchild. They boarded and the first person she saw at the dock was her father. Her eyes watered up and she ran down the gangplank to hug her father. He chuckled and before he spoke, she introduced her husband and son. They greeted each other and then he looked at his daughter. The pride she saw in his eyes for her actually going on her own and doing for herself made her almost cry right then and there.

The next day, the entire family was enjoying lunch at the house when they heard something. Aurora, her husband and her son knew that noise well. It was cannon fire. They did live in the capital of Spain, but she knew that the Spanish Armada was unbeatable. Unless the ships were close to the shoreline. Her and her husband ran out of the building, telling her father and son to stay in the building. They ran up to the main square and what they saw seemed unbelievable.

The square was overrun with English forces. The cannon fire was getting closer. It seemed that the ships were coming and trying to completely bomb the capital. There were only a few Spanish ships left, but they were trying to fend them off. Her and her husband fended off the soldiers as best they could, when they came their way. They ran back to the docks, to get in the ship and try to fight them off, but the docks were already destroyed.

It was one of the first times that she actually felt helpless. The ship was gone. She had no way to get out by sea and she was sure by land was a no go as well. She felt lost and that's when she saw it. Her father and son. They must've run behind them, to try to help. She ran towards them and before she could get to them, they were cut down by soldiers. She completely lost it then. She ran to their lifeless bodies and tried to wake them, even though she knows that nothing will happen.

Her husband joined her and silently cried with her. He then stood up, kissed her with all the passion she could muster and told her that he will always love her. He then ran into a thick mass of people. She never saw him again until later. He had been stepped on multiple times by soldiers. It was her breaking point. She saw him like that and she got angry. Really angry.

She started charging at the soldiers, trying to tear them limb from limb. She almost forgot she had her sword. She always wore it, so she got used to the weight. She unsheathed her katana and just cut into every soldier around her. She let her rage be her power and just cut through everything. Except for one time. She was standing and took a breath. She got stabbed from behind, through her belly button. Then, she was stabbed multiple more times, but the belly button stab was the biggest. While she fell to the ground and bleed out, she swore that she would have revenge on all that have wronged her. She would take back what was taken from her and give nothing back.

When she finally did die, she found herself in some strange dark place. Once she got there, she started screaming. She let her rage lose and it helped her in her transformation. She felt the change and when she looked back down at herself, she was a fairly huge tiger. She thought that it was pretty fitting, since one of her closest friends had called her a tiger. She then roared, as loud as she could, letting this place know that her rage would not be quenched until she took revenge on those murderers.

She then started walking throughout this sandy place. She had no idea where she was, but she thought that the moon was fitting now. She would always have her rage, and it would make her stronger than anything else. She would think about her family, what happened and what she was going to do to fix it. Then, this hunger was starting to gnaw at her. But, she didn't know what she could eat. All she saw were other things like herself.

The hunger just kept gnawing at her. She had to eat. Soon, it was drowning out all thought. She just needed to eat. The next time one of the smaller hollows passed by her, she grabbed it with her jaws and consumed it. It made her feel a little better, but this hunger was still there. It almost consumed all of her thought. Almost. She still thought about her family, but they were on the back burner. She was more concerned with eating.

Over time, she got better and better at adapting to her new life as a tiger. She was able to learn how to stalk her prey and completely surprise them and take them down in one go. Once she had mastered this, she went on to the stronger hollows. She thought the stronger hollows would be the tall ones. For her, they actually were fairly easy. She was able to take out one section of the forest of all there tall hollows (which she learned later were called Gillian) within what seemed like a day or two for her.

Once she got bored of hunting these big things, she decided to try and go after more that were like her. They were the strong ones she needed to go after. She slowly started finding these cells of them. They were a lot tricker to take down, but she managed. There were some from these places that wanted to be her ally, help her grow but she killed them anyway. She didn't need any allies. She didn't need anyone. Her rage is her only companion.

Then, she just kept attacking. Kept going after everything that got in her way. She had no idea how long it had been since her death and at this point, she didn't care. All she knew was that she needed to get stronger. She needed to kill in order for her rage to set its sights on the right people. She needed to defeat everyone. After three hundred and fifty-four years, she had finally ate enough to do it. She felt a cracking along her mask. Then, it broke completely in half.

She felt a power surge through her. She could barely see. Once all the dust had settled, she stood up straight. Wait, she was able to stand again? She looked down at her body and saw that she had a human form again. She was wearing fairly comfortable pants, barefoot (which she preferred now) and black fingerless gloves. She really liked the gloves. She felt her hair and found a braid. She followed the braid and touched something pretty pointy. She grabbed the braid and brought it in front of her. She saw the blade on the end and she liked it.

Then, she noticed that there was now a blade on her hip. She unsheathed it and almost teared up. It was the same sword that she had bought from the weapon smith all those years ago. She took a deep breath and held it to her chest. When she did, she felt a weird breeze. She looked down and saw a hole. This must be the Arrancar the hollow would talk about. She sheathed her sword and let her rage loose. She roared loudly out in the sand. She was going to make everyone pay. She was going to take and take, killing everything in her path. She heard of the Espada and was interested to see what they were actually like. Since she was finally Arrancar, she decided to travel to find them, seeing if she could fit there and if they would help her destroy everything she wanted to.

The Esapda she found, however, was an interesting one. He called himself Sargon Denumic, the Tercera Espada. He took her under his wing and trained her, well at least he called it training. She called it running errands and getting nothing out of it. But, she did have to admit that while on these errands, she found that she was getting stronger and meeting more of the spiritually aware species that were out and about, as well as getting a good look at the Human World that she had barely seen. It was a very eye opening experience to her until Kouhai called a general meeting of Espada and Fraccion.

It was there that she first ran into Shikitsuhiko Isayama. She had heard of the Espada but had never dealt with him before. Working with him on the task that they were given showed her that some Espada were not like Sargon, but had a somewhat level head and took all of her stark in stride. It was....surprising. It made her actually shut up and listen to what he had to say and the mission went well. She was surprised to say that they actually worked pretty well together, which was surprising to her since she thought that she rubbed everyone the wrong way.

Then, she ate the misty hollow. The pain she went through afterwards was horrible and the first person she thought to go to was Shiki. Once there, with his help, as well as the help of the Segundo Espada, they found the lab from where it came from and she also found out more of Shiki's backstory, more answers were given to them about what was really going on. Taking that shinigami captive, the team escaped, destroying the lab and Aurora realizing the full potential of her powers, she went back to Las Noches where she was able to take the vacant Septima spot among the Espada. Let Aurora's reign begin.
