Strength/Weaknesses:

Strengths:

Enhanced Hierro
Luna is able to fend off a moderate hit from a Captain's Shikai with a single hand. In her resurrecion, she can easily take hits from a captain's Shikai with no damage on her uniform or skin.

Cat's reflexes
From intense training which goes from running to endless fighting, Luna is done training her body so that her agility and reflexes to the maximum, making it very hard if not impossible to land a lucky strike on her.

Sonido master
Luna`s knowledge of sonido is high, which combined with her reflexes, makes her sonido one of the fastest among the espada. In her ressurection, this is improved further.

Swordsmanship
Combined with all the things above, Luna gets even more deadly when she wields her sword. She can easily mix slashes and strikes with Sonido, making it hard for enemies below, and in some cases, around her own power level, to dodge.

Weaknesses

Hand-to-hand combat

Mostly depending on her speed, sword, reaction time and strong defense, she is not the best hakuda fighter around. She knows the basics of hand-to-hand combat, but she sees hand-to-hand combat as a last resort.

Overprotective
With her fear of being alone, Luna has grown an overprotective feeling for her fellow espada. She gets the urge to attack a person who attacks the espada and it dosen`t matter if its an actual attack, or simply an insult.

Very curios
Luna`s large curiosity for new things can alter how she battles. If she meets someone with interesting powers, she tends to hold back to learn as much as she can. If she meets someone with a interesting personality, she often asks a lot of question, again to learn as much as she can.

Losing interest
If Luna loses interest in something, she tends to ignore or simply dispose of it. When facing an opponent that bores her, she uses her strong attacks early on to end the fight quickly. Luna can also flat out refuse to fight or talk to a person if they don`t catch her interest.


Personality: When you first look at Luna, you will think that she dosen`t know the word emotions. Her face is, for the most part, stuck in the same emotionless way, her lips being firmly closed together, her eyes looking uninterested, yet intimidating in a strange way. In truth, she does know what emotions is, in fact she has a lot of them, she just sees it pointless to smile all the time. The only time you will really see her smile is when she`s relaxed and in a good mood. Through it isen`t shown, Luna has a very large interest in new things, often resulting in her spending hours, sometimes days, to try and figure out something new she has found. Her large curiosity makes her more innocent, if you ever see it, but it also leads to people underestimating her. When it comes to fighting, Luna chooses to avoid it if possible. Fighting without a good reason is waist of time and will simply lead to more conflicts. When she does engage in battle, she attacks without mercy, ending most of her fights before they even begun.

Her way of dressing is also unique among the arrancar`s. Were most arrancar females wears revealing clothing, Luna is fully covered up. Her uniform does hug her slender waist and arms, as well as her chest, but its tame compared to what the others wear. Luna`s choice of not revealing much skin, mostly comes from that she dosen`t wanna be judged on the way she dresses or how her body looks. Its also because she simply finds the amount of skin that some arrancar women show, for to much. She is among one of the shorter arrancar, being only 5.2

Sexual Orientation: straight

Relationship Status: single

History and RP Sample

History:

Living act:

Luna`s history started out relatively normal. She was born as the youngest of five in a small village near London. Her father spend most of the day in the field harvesting, while her mother was making sheets in order to get some extra money. Luna always wanted to go with her father into the fields, already now her curiosity was large, but her mother always said no, telling her that a woman`s place was in the home. Years went by, and on a hot summer morning, the twelve year old Luna snuck out in order to explore the fields for the first time. As she reached the fields, the scent of flowers mixed with hay filled her nose. The young girl was happy, she could finally satisfy some of her curiosity. She spend hours playing in the fields, chasing a few butterflies and picking some flowers. As the sun went down, so went her energy for the day. On the way home, there was the large stream to cross. When she went into the fields, she had used the bridge, but since her father was on his way home, he would maybe spot her running across it. After a bit of search, she found some flat rocks that she could jump on to get over. When she was almost over, she slipped onto one of the rocks, falling into the water. Luna was lucky, she died the instant that her neck broke against the rocks, feeling nothing....

Spirit act:

When she awoke, the moon was up and the starts was shinning from the sky. As she sat up, she noticed a odd looking chain coming out from her chest. As she inspected it further, she noticed that it had broken off, only 4 links remaining. She stood up, dusted herself off and began follow the stream, hoping that she could find a bridge, or something were she could find some people to ask for help. Due to luck, she didn`t see as her dead body flowed through the water. Months passed and summer turned to winter. Luna spend all of her time trying to get contact to people, but all ignored her, as if they could`t see her. One day, a young man walked over to her and pulled her into an ally. "What`s your name?", he asked in a kind voice, whispering as if he was afraid of other hearing him. "S-sofie..", the small girl responded(Sofie was Luna`s living name). The man began to explain to her that she had died and become a spirit. He also explained about the shinigami, he said that they were kind people to led spirits like her to a safe place were she could get new friends. Luna asked were he knew that from, and he responded that he had been able to see shinigami, spirits and hollows for as long as he had lived. Luna asked about hollows, but all he said was that they were evil spirits. The man noticed the chain in her belly, there were only half a link left on it. Without hesitation, he took Luna by her hand and said, that he would help her find a shinigami. Luna was of caused confused over this, but she was glad not to be alone anymore..

Becomming a menos act:

After a few days, a shinigami found the two laying in a grass field were they had spend the night. The shinigami awoken the spiritual aware man, telling him to step away from Luna since the remaining of her link had dissapeared. The man refused, stating that there was still time to preform soul burial onto her. The shinigami simply showed him aside and drew his sword, ready to kill the girl. All of a sudden, Luna opened her eyes, her fully devoured chain turning into a whole in her belly. She slowly stood up, letting out a fierce roar. As the shinigami swung his sword in order to kill her, the human jumped in front of her, getting cut across his chest. Luna, having transformed into a large lion-alike hollow with a snake mask, looked down at the dead human. "...Why?....Why did you kill him!?...I don`t want to be alone!". She opened her jaws and closed them around the torso of the shinigami, eating it without hesitation, the rest of the body following. She felt a sudden power rush through her, it was a wonderful feeling. She looked down at the human, the loneliness returning once more. He was dead, what was she gonna do?

She was brought out of thoughts when she heard a roar coming from behind. A hollow that looked like a rhino was standing a few feet from her, its hungry eyes shinning through its mask. As it charged towards Luna, she jumped out of the way and bit hard into its back leg, eating it in one mouthful. The rhino hollow roared again, but it was soon silenced as Luna ate it as well. Luna ate hollow after hollow, seeing the rush of power as the only way to remove her painful loneliness. Eventually she gathered together with many other hollows of her level in hunger, and they began to eat each other. They "melted", together into a menos gullian at the third night of the "feast". The monos traveled to huecho muncho, using kumon(air gate), in the search for food.

Becoming a Adjushas act:

Luna spend many years as apart of the menos, slowly gaining the control over the other hollows that had made up the menos with her to begin with. Eventually the mask transformed into a lion-alike shape, meaning that Luna had taken full control over it. Now that she had control over her body, her curiosity for how the world above the "roof", looked. She had seen the light of the moon in a few holes of the "roof", and wanted to know what made the light. Even through she regretted it, she knew that the only way to make it to the surface, was to eat her fellow menos. Many more years went by of her eating the mother gullian`s, and eventually she grew into a smaller form. Having transformed to a Adjushas, she began to eat other Adjushas`s so she would`t turn back into a gullian.

After years as an Adjushas, Luna was finally able to crawl onto the surface. she spend the first couple of hours on just watching the moon and the white sand, it had been such a long time since she had seen any form of light. She began to look at herself, and how she really had changed. Luna had the appearance of a lion, her paws, neck and back being covered by bone plates. A pair of purple wings extended from her back, and a long purple mane covered most of her neck. A black tail with a snake head at the end came out from the end of her back, a mask covering the head of the snake as well. Luna and the snake looked at each other for a few moments. Despite the snake shared a body with her, it didn`t talk or think, it simply was there. The hopes of finally having company dissapeared again, and she began to hunt for food on the sand of the hollow world...

Vasto lord act

After many years as a Adjushas, Luna had begun to notice a change in her appearance. She was now walking on two legs, which gave her a massive advantage when it came to fighting other Adjushas`s. Her mane had grown a bit shorter and less wild, making it look more like hair. Her mask had fallen off at some places, her left eye and mouth being visible. The snake tail had grown a little shorter and her wings a little more streamlined. Her front paws had transformed into hands being covered with black fur, her feet remaining bone covered paws. Having become stronger, Luna began to spend her time on looking for any kind of company, that would relive the painful loneliness she had felt all the years.

She spend close to a 100 years on consuming hollows, growing stronger and stronger for each passing meal. It was no longer enough just eating weak gillians, Adjushas hollows seemed to be the only thing that could satisfy her. Even when she finally found a meal that could satisfy, it died out due to the pressure of her reaitsu. Luna had, without knowing, grown to the rank of a vasto lord. She began to hunt in the human world more and more often, consuming shinigami as well as humans with high reaitsu. One day, when she had returned from the human world, she was approached by a man with brown hair, clad in a black and white uniform. At first she was worried, he did not die under her reaitsu...but then she became happy, was there finally someone who could put an end to her loneliness? Instead of getting killed, the man told her that his name was Aizen souske, and that he wished for her to join his ranks of the espada. Having only heard very little about the espada, she asked him what it was. He told her that the espada was like a family, and that he could see the loneliness in her eyes.

Becoming a espada act

She spend the next few months serving as his personal guard, working in the shadows. She had been introduced to the other espada`s, but she never interacted with them much. Most of her time was spend on taking care of special missions, but she also spend some time on learning to use her reaitsu in various ways. During the attack on las noches and the battle in the human world, she was in the deepest chambers of las noches, having been ordered there in order to protect it. When she emerged up from the chambers, she noticed that Las noches was completely empty, except the few numerous that wandered around. Over the next year, new espada`s emerged and a new leader rose to power. She was made the third espada by this new leader.

Today she is still the third espada and follows the new leader just as loyal as she had followed Aizen. She still sees the rouge shinigami as a god for having ended her loneliness, but she mostly focuses on protecting her new family.
