Saber stands at a fairly large 7'3" as a result of having turned into an arrancar at the gillian stage. She has dark, caramel skin and bright red eyes. HEr hair is a striking pale white and a pair of short feline ears rest atop her head, with large yellowed horns sprouting from her head, these horns are in fact her mask fragment.

In her general everyday life, she prefers to wear layers, often wearing jackets or vests as well as gloves as she quite enjoys being able to adorn herself compared to simply being confined to being naked or wearing her cloak as a gillian.




» Personality:

Careful and Cunning. Originally a rather warm and optimistic woman, Sabertooth has learned nothing but caution and underhanded survival. Because of this, she has adopted a rather friendly and slyness to how she conducts herself. Often hunting particularly strong and spiritually aware humans and coercing them into putting their friends and loved ones into situations to be killed and eaten before ultimately devouring them as well.

This cruelty and lack of empathy has earned her a slight reputation among other hollows in the past and earned her the nickname Sweet-tooth Striker. Beyond just her hunting tactics, Sabertooth is the sort of hollow that will be more vocal in altercations with enemies. Often feigning and putting on an air of innocence and fear and panic, playing the act of a victim who is merely struggling with their new hollow lifestyle. This tactic is generally used to lower the guards of others so that she can land a killing or crippling blow. Because of this, she often practices this tactic by striking up conversations with weak or unappetizing humans in an effort to hone her powers of deception and coercion.

Since becoming a Gillian, Sabertooth's personality has shifted slightly. While she retained much of her personality of caution and cunning, she has become much more aggressive. This is a combination of her newfound hunger at evolving, as well as from being affected by other souls fighting for control. While Sabertooth remains the dominant soul, se is not the same as she once was, as though some of the stronger competition have been mixed in.


» History:


Originally a young woman named Aya Yuna who had been born in Egypt before her Family moved to India. She grew to an adult and then traveled to Laos in order to study the Natives that survived in such a hostile environment with so many hollows. Unfortunately for her, she was severely unequipped to the task. After four months of struggling to survive and losing her phone during a hollow attack, Aya found herself taken in by a local village. It was there that she would suffer her death. With a group of larger hollows attacking the village and managing to slaughter most of those there, Aya was bitten in half by a large turtle-like Hollow before it was drawn by the scent of a nearby quincy.

As such, Aya was left, half-devoured and on dying. After the loss of her life, she became a corrupted plus. Having been infected by the hollow's Acidic touch, her spirit was damaged and was unable to retain it's form for very long. Within a few days, her chain of fate, tattered as it was, completely eroded and she hollowfied. The following three months were an absolute blur. Nothing but hatred, confusion, and sheer unadulterated hunger suffusing every thought in her mind. In those brief moments of lucidity she found herself wishing she simply hadn't. As she would find herself with some person in her mouth, either screaming or already dead.

When at last some semblance of Sanity returned to her, she found herself in a monstrous form and burdened with incredibly hunger, hunched over the bodies of countless hollows and a single shinigami that lay dead and half-devoured at her feet.

With this new existence, she found a new clarity. Watching her fellow hollow brethren being mowed down by local fighters, Sabertooth learned to use Garganta to hunt and even began developing her own innate hollow abilities in order to hunt carefully and with stealthily. She didn't understand her new existence, but she'd be damned if she was gonna die before she could sate this horrible hunger.

Since her life as a hollow began, hers was a life that was very far from ordinary. For one thanks to her unusual hunting tactics, she often went out of her way in order to enlist help. Be it scavenging off nearby shinigami hunts or coercing others into assisting her. Among these individuals the most prominent of course was Kenichi, a young man whom she convinced to assist her in hunting the area. She got hefty meals, and he felt accomplished in taking out dangerous hollows. This relationship however would evolve into something rather strange as ultimately the two became something of friends. And as Saber began to evolve into higher stages of being a hollow, Kenichi continued to not only assist her with her hunting, but began to look out for her as well beyond that.

However, Saber found that becoming a Gillian was an arduous task. Almost immediately she began to feel the fraying of her mind, and slowly she began to realize that day by day, she was becoming less and less herself. Which ultimately culminated in the removal of her mask and becoming an arrancar as a means of avoiding the loss of her self and sanity.


» Natural Abilities:

Vicious Tactician:

Even as a lower hollow, Saber had considerable mental capabilities. Going out of her way to hunt other hollows even before she was a gillian resulted in a higher than normal growth rate and the forming of some very unusual bonds, resulting in very successful hunting strategies. Not only this but Saber has had a considerable knack for adapting to strategies as well as adopting fighting styles from those around her, such as Kenichi's martial prowess, in order to grow herself. Not only is Saber smart, but she is quite adaptable.

Potent Spiritual Energy:

Having become an arrancar as a Gillian, Saber has a considerable wealth of spiritual energy that comes with being a Menos level hollow.


» Racial Abilities:

Sonido Natural:

Given her talent for high speed movement as a Hollow, Saber has taken to the use of Sonido like a duck to water. Wile she is still a fresh Arrancar, her proficiency with Sonido is akin to someone who has been using regularly for quite some time. And this talent is only liable to grow going forward.




» Zanpakutō Name: Piélago Oscuro (The Darkest Sea)

» Sealed Zanpakutō Appearance: Saber's zanpaku'to takes the form of a double-edged straight sword with a sleek amber color. Markings decorate the base of the blade and the weapon has a very subtle and small guard.

» Sealed Zanpakutō Power:

Cura de Oasis (Cure of the Oasis):

Striker's special physiology is capable of converting water she comes into contact with to sustain and fuel her body, allowing her to double the speed of her healing and recovery from negative effects while she is in contact with a water source. This also halves the energy drain of recovering while in contact with a water source (A water source is any body of water with volume at least equal to her body's volume).

Thanks to her increased control, Saber is capable of pumping energy into the water she herself produces and concentrating her healing abilities on one particular area of her body (An area no greater than 25% of her mass) to instantly heal the focus area. This ability has a 3 post cooldown, during which Saber will not be able to regenerate.

Flujo (Flow):

Saber's ability to partially liquefy her organs, allowing her to compress her body to incredibly thin dimensions allowing her to easily slip through spaces 1/5th her size.
Thanks to the liquid pressure buildup and the drop in mass thanks to how large she is, doing this causes her to experience a sudden spike in durability as her mass and reiryoku are compressed creating a powerful layered surface tension which acts in a manner similar to a second hierro (durability boost scales off her Hollow Nucleus, as well as producing superheated steam to escape her body burning her immediate surroundings in a 5 meter radius). She can sustain this for up to 3 posts before needing to expand back to her normal size, and incurring a 4 post cooldown on compressing herself regardless for how long she was compressed.


» Resurrección Release Phrase: Aplastar (Crush)

» Resurrección Release Action: Stating the release phrase.

» Resurrección Appearance: During Saber's resureccion, her mask fragments partially reform, creating an armored headress along her skull as well as armor plating down the length of her spine all the way to her tailbone. Additionally, a black cloak spawns around her shoulders reminiscent of a Gillian's.

» Resurrección Abilities:

Encantadora De Agua (Water Charmer)

Striker's core Hollow Power: the ability to manipulate water. At present, this ability has expressed in niche abilities such as her Water Veil and Flow granting her very unique abilities. Thanks to her increase in power, Sabertooth has extensive mastery over water around her (Within 25 meters, though it can be flung up to 50 meters) manipulating it with speed and strength equal to her Hollow Nucleus. She is also capable of producing water, up to 1 tonne (1000kg or about 260 gallons) of water per post.


Velo De Agua ( Water Veil):

Striker's special ability , creating a thin special film of water secreted from her body infused with her Reiryoku. This veil renders her almost completely invisible to the naked eye by bending light that passes through the water around her. This veil is potent in what it does, but not infallible, as it causes a shimmer around her frame that can still give away her general position. Additionally, while this ability is a near perfect visual veil, this ability does not shield any other senses from tracking her.
