Overview
Charlotte Chuhlhourne is a character from Tite Kubo's manga series BLEACH. Designated as Arrancar No. 20, he serves as a Fracción under the 2nd Espada, Baraggan Louisenbairn. Despite his tall, heavily muscled frame, he speaks with distinctive okama mannerisms and possesses absolute pride in his own physical appearance. During the Fake Karakura Town battle, he engaged in a intense duel with Yumichika Ayasegawa while attempting to destroy one of the spirit pillars.
Appearance
Standing 192 cm tall and weighing 125 kg, he has tan skin, deep purple wavy hair, and pale blue eyes with thick lips. The remnants of his Hollow mask sit atop his head like a tiny tiara. His white outfit features a midriff-baring feminine design accented with lace trim and includes a heart-shaped tattoo on his lower abdomen. Upon releasing his Zanpakuto, he gains a pink cape, a ballerina-like outfit with a short skirt and armor, elongated mask horns, and oval guards on his wrists and ankles.
Personality
Cheerful and deeply self-obsessed, Charlotte holds unshakeable confidence in his own loveliness. He maintains a personal philosophy that judging others solely by outward appearance represents true ugliness. Though he can fly into a rage over damage to his treasured hair, he shows respect for opponents whose principles he recognizes, even in defeat. He also has a flamboyant quirk of reciting outrageously long, dramatic skill names before unleashing his combat techniques.
Abilities
His Zanpakuto release command is 'Sparkle,' unlocking 'Reina de Rosas.' In this state, he delivers powerful spinning somersault slashes and fires a pinkish Cero formed by making a heart sign with both hands at his chest. His supreme technique, 'Rosa Blanca,' traps the target within a black thorny barrier that seals off sight and spiritual pressure, enveloping the foe in a giant blooming white rose that drains their spiritual power until death.
Background
Serving under Baraggan Louisenbairn with deep loyalty, Charlotte joined the invasion of Fake Karakura Town. He fought Yumichika Ayasegawa over a sealing pillar, backing him into a corner with his ultimate barrier technique, but was defeated when his opponent revealed his true Zanpakuto form. Later, during the Thousand-Year Blood War arc, he was revived by Mayuri Kurotsuchi as part of his zombie Corps. Reentering the battlefield, he successfully neutralized the zombified Quincy Bambietta Gewelle.
Relationships
He serves the 2nd Espada, Baraggan Louisenbairn, with unwavering loyalty and absolute respect. He shares a fierce rival dynamics with Yumichika Ayasegawa, as both characters possess absolute vanity regarding their own beauty. Following his initial demise, he was resurrected and commanded by Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi of the 12th Division. During the Quincy war, he clashed directly against Giselle Gewelle, engaging in a battle of eccentric personalities.
Trivia
His Zanpakuto release, 'Reina de Rosas,' stands as the first instance of Katakana foreign phonetics being officially incorporated into a Zanpakuto name in the series. Unlike the other Arrancar resurrected by Mayuri Kurotsuchi, his face remains completely free of visible surgical stitches. Furthermore, he demonstrated abnormal physical endurance by remaining entirely unfazed when subjected to Mayuri's painful punishment shocks, leaving the Captain momentarily stunned.
