Bleach Character - Neliel Tu Oderschvank

Neliel Tu Oderschvank , commonly known as Nel is a good-natured, child-like arrancar when first introduced. Her hollow mask make up a cartoonish skull on the top of her head.

Nel and her companions believe Shinigami (Death God), not hollows, to be evil, and as such are afraid of them. In spite of this, she develops an attachment to Kurosaki Ichigo and starts following him around after her introduction. She is a self-proclaimed masochist. Nel's true form is that of a fully-grown woman, her mask appearing less cartoonish with a pair of curved horns. A large "3" tattooed on her back indicates that she was previously the third Espada. Tired of her superiority over him, Nnoitra Jiruga snuck up on and attacked Nel in the past, causing her to turn into her child-form, giving her amnesia, and allowing him to expel her from the Espada. When Nel runs into Nnoitra years later and he begins to torture Ichigo, she turns into her adult form with her memories restored. Though considerably more mature than her child form, she retains her affection for Ichigo, as she comically hugs him without realizing that her strength is causing him personal injury. As she is about to defeat Nnoitra, Nel reverts back to her child form, with no apparent memory of what had just occurred.

In her child-state, Nel's vomit (which she believes to be saliva) acts as a rather weak, but useful, healing agent. In both her child and adult form, she can swallow cero attacks and fire them back. In her adult form, she can also add her own cero to this blast, doubling its power. Nel's zanpakutō, which manifests when she transforms, is named Gamuza, Spanish for "chamois," Japanese for "antelope knight"). Its release command is "declare". Her released form is that of a ibex-like centaur with longer curved horns, a thick tail, and armor over her shoulders and hands. Her sword transforms into a double-ended lance, giving her the appearance of a medieval knight or a jouster. One of her attacks is called Lanzador Verde (Spanish for "green lancer"), in which she throws her lance directly at her opponent. The lance moves at high speed and rotates extremely fast, drilling through anything it hits.
