Upon first glance, Safira is certainly a prideful individual that embodies her aspect of death but after losing her power the distinction of pride and vainglory became more distinct to her. Her shift in demeanour is stark but the core of Safira remains unchanged, there is without a doubt nothing in this world which matters as much as she does and that is how she feels about all others as well.

It is not simply enough to indulge herself as the narcissist that she is but she is driven to cultivate that same kind of egotistic perspective in others. She raises people up, enamours them in delights and pleasures like she is cultivating a fruit, making it so ripe it begins to rot. It is her delight to keep this cycle going as it is the only consistency that has sustained her interest in life. Tempting people, growing them, destroying them. A meal more delicious than any other delight in the world.

Cunning and intelligent on many subjects, she is a wise but depraved individual that uses her talents for all the wrong things. She wears far more than two faces and intentionally contradicts herself on the regular, her determination knows no boundaries if she has been scorned by another. All of these qualities make her an excellent leader, deceiving and using subordinates as required to ensure success.

Coming from her hollow tendencies Safira is a predatory character, she doesn't enjoy fighting more so in that she loves the thrill of having control over a group, she enjoys hunting and making people squirm under her presence like they are her prey. This gives her a warped idea of a relationship, making her prefer people that appear stronger and more dominant than her so that they might be forced under her influence until she's finished using them.

With her opponents she likes to behave like a cat with a mouse, toying with them for her own amusement before she inevitably kills them or gets bored and lets them live depending on how she feels. She will play mind games and show a great deal of sadism and arrogance to her targets which only gets worse if her opponents visibly cannot handle her. If she were to actually face someone she deemed a threat then her games would be much shorter if not completely ignored and she'd jump straight into being serious about a fight since she'd prefer to be the winner for certain rather than risk it for some fun.


An ancient hollow, her existence predates the formation of the Gotei Thirteen's founding by Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto. Safira is born of a child whose name is lost to the sands of time among the middle east thousands of years ago. From her death lead the grudges of those around her made her descend into the form of a hollow.

She terrorised them for the crime of her death, toying with them like a child would play, she stole away children under the veil of night and spurred on terrible rumours that lingered within the humans. Often at odds with the odd spiritually aware human of the time. Without a strong presence of the shinigami, she was left free to enjoy the world to her empty heart's content. The juvenile hollow couldn't be satisfied though. No matter how much she grew in her sadistic methods of toying with souls and consuming them it never satisfied her.

She had to grow up and mature. She began to look and learn from them, scholars and philosophers of the place she was lurking and gain their insights, even trying to devour these great minds and trying to have their own understanding that she lacked. Because of this Safira became more learned than just a normal hollow, an instinctual creature that tried to humanise itself to fill the void.

After travelling most of the world freely and causing terror she stumbled upon other hollows within the world, it was to be expected that she would eventually run into something similar but it was still fascinating. In her first true fight where she felt her life at risk Safira's hold over her victim's life and slow killing of them before devouring them brought a great deal of pleasure, a satisfaction that she had never felt before. The next few years were dedicated solely to hunting more of these other hollows to get that same satisfaction that humans just weren't providing her anymore.

Over time she culled hollows, becoming stronger until she was able to figure out the ability to make these "Garganta" that her brethren were using and with it she was able to enter into Hueco Mundo where she found a great deal of joy, it was a hunting grounds where there was nothing but a dog-eat-dog situation and so she went on hunts, living for the thrill of sensing another hollow and then setting traps or chasing them down. Over time this translated into a disappointment though, the thrill was getting less. There wasn't the same buzz she got and even some of the human world was more fun because she actually learnt things from them. With hollows it was just a challenge which was slowly dying.

It prompted her to seek out more power, but not in the typical sense. She started subduing hollows, creating her own little pack and group. Having control over people proved to be more enjoyable than chasing down by herself and they provided both company and allowed for her to work her brain in how to use her group effectively. There was the odd power dispute but by this period in time she had more than enough power to deal with the lesser hollows she had as company.

With time this became more organised and larger, it was no longer a mere pack of wild animals but becoming more civilised as she put her knowledge from the human world into trying to develop a civilisation. She assigned groups to go hunt humans and drag them back as well as other hollows sometimes. It was a kingdom.

Not all things lasted forever though, Safira while a powerful hollow had yet to breach into the realm of Menos-class. It's why when she heard news of an immensely powerful hollow that wandered around aimlessly and was giant she was intrigued, investigating herself she looked upon a Gillian for the first time and sought to see it be killed. As a result she was once more stirred on by this idea of a higher power and so she took as many of her hollows as she could and went to attack the Gillian. During this clash while they were making headway they were ultimately no match and the Gillian killed and devoured most of her hunting party before she and a few others fled.

As they fled the Gillian gave chase until it came upon her base of operations and the thing laid waste to it. She consumed the last remnants of her followers before attacking it again and she herself being devoured. That's where there was the void with the many souls inside of it. A fight for dominance but upon realising it was not the end she forced her way to the top, establishing dominance and taking over the Gillian's body having successfully reached what she wanted.

Safira's existence as a Gillian was short, her ego recovered when she realised things were not over and filled her with a vigour that defied the idea of death and going peacefully into the void with these others. She was their Queen, their dominant one. It's why she would change, not in size but shape. A giant lamia-like hollow that had become an adjuchas where there was no fear of losing her mind but the looming fear of regression back into that darkness where she would never recover from.

The hunt was back on for her, this time without caring to establish an army. It was just her now, and so she wondered just how to make this work. After a while she deduced the best way was to let some hollows live and tell them to spread a tale, creating a lair for herself it was easy for the large adjuchas to overpower with both her poisonous environment and physically large body. She became a creature that gain infamy amongst circles of hollows and encouraged them to come and attack, occasionally one would escape because she either let them or they fled the moment they laid eyes on her.

Despite this she consumed enough that she would eventually reach the final tier of Hollow evolution, Vasto Lorde even though she had become unaware of it. The lingering hunger had all but gone and her fear of regression with it. As she shrunk down to a more reasonable size even though she was still quite large by Vasto Lorde standards, Safira spent her time in this den satisfied with her progression and left wondering what else she could do. What else could she do for amusement as the weariness of age seemed to hit her at this final ascension.

As time drawled on and the sands of time continued Safira didn't bother with her cycle of cultivation and reaping, she did not care for stability like Barragan who had fancied himself the Hollow King of Hueco Mundo and other Vasto Lorde Hollows or adjuchas, she no longer had a need for opposition. The sands were her playground and others were the toys within it.

All good things come to an end as well as freedom, for the first time in her existence as a hollow she would learn the feeling of being subjugated and controlled by another being.

With the defeat of the Hollow King by a shinigami spreading through the sands Safira was curious, there was also words brought to her by her pack that other Vasto Lorde such as a shark and others were disappearing and news of hollows that had removed their masks. Curious but unwilling to approach the situation but instead wanting to view it from a distance, eventually the Espada would catch word of her and it was only a matter of time before she was hunted down.

With her well established territory even though the adjuchas arrancar were more than capable of dealing with Vasto Lordes they couldn't outlast her toxic effects that had become so concentrated and it took one of the Espada to handle her who was able to defeat her. This same Espada would later be defeated by Safira who had become an Arrancar through the machinations of Aizen's gathering of hollows.

This revelation prompted her to avoid rebellion and accept her shackles for the time being, waiting for a chance to either seize control or escape. Having taken the title of Quinta Espada from the arrancar that had defeated her due to the nature of her gigantic her resurreccion was unable to be released in Las Noches due to damage concerns much like the Gran Rey Cero. It was this situation that caused for Safira to be defeated by an enemy exploiting this by the name of Nnoitra Gilga. With her defeat - even though it was undeniably due to his own foul play - she was demoted to Privaron Espada with many others that previously held the Espada title which would only add insult to injury.

Her position as Privaron Espada was tolerable, she spent most of her time out hunting other Vasto Lorde Hollows, that was the same situation for when the Winter War broke out and word reached her ears. Needless to say the moment she received word that Ulquiorra had been defeated by Ichigo, the other Privaron Espada were defeated and overall the entire group was in chaos while Aizen was gone Safira took her opportunity to get out, shedding off her layer and burning the tattoo that was a mark of subjugation and shame on her name.

During this period of time she decided to roam the many worlds that existed, hoping to get a bit of exploring in and indulge in things that had changed since she had touched the human world many millennia ago. She studied things to educate herself and try to remain superior, her ambitions were primarily on her own improvement but that didn't mean she didn't do the odd fight in World War Three and other situations. She would occasionally seek out fights in Hueco Mundo with other hollows and arrancar, seeing a rather rapid and quick progression in evolution which fascinated her about how quickly things could change in a century.


» Red Dwarf Form: After losing a majority of her power against Asher the Empty-Hearted, Safira separated from her powers in favour of self-preservation through creating a weaker vessel with her resurreccion's abilities. While certainly a hollow still by merit of being created in such a manner she only possesses basic attributes and does not have a zanpakuto at her disposal depriving her of unique hollow powers and a release state. Her spirit class has dropped substantially due to a majority of her power being left behind which has left her diminished in her capabilities.

» Cero: While the technical skills and know-how are there, the scope of her current vessel is not enough to meaningfully exert anything more than a basic cero and bala.

» Hierro: She has only the standard hierro in her Red Dwarf Form due to the loss of her nucleus. Due to the substantial decrease in her spirit class by having her power taken from her, the single layer of Hierro is noticeably easier to deal with than the many layers she once wore.

» Pesquisa: She has an acute sense of sensing, primarily due to her body being highly perceptive to changes in her environment such as temperature and vibrations however this also applies towards the movement and flow of spiritual energy. As a result her actual piercing effect such as forcing her senses onto a target and trying to see past what's superficial is difficult which can make it hard to tell from a glance what her opponent potentially has but this demerit comes with the benefit of giving her an incredibly perceptive overall sensory perception which can allow her to notice even the slightest shift of energy change within a target to get a warning while they charge it before most others at the cost of being unable to look too deep.

She can apply this on the grand scheme of the battlefield. Giving her an excellent understanding of a hectic situation and to compose herself correctly under these circumstances while her pesquisa is a lot less effective in a fair fight where it is just her and an opponent.

» Sonido: Her capacity to utilise sonido remains unchanged though the restricted output of her current vessel has caused her to lose a lot of natural speed from the physical side of things. There's a noticeable difference in capacity but not the experience that she possesses when she uses it.


Due to the aftermath of her battle with Asher, Safira does not have access to her hollow powers after having expelled herself from her resurreccion, allowing it to be taken as a trophy in the process. She intends to get it back and all of her power with it.
