Ellade Fiore
"Were you born to resist, or be abused?"

THE ENTRANCE
"'To announce your name and rank' is a custom taught to us when we learn how to fight."

Full Name: Ellade Braska Vie Fiore
Age: 1,382
Race: Arrancar
Rank: 5th
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Altruistic

THE PERSONA
"Don't use such strong words. It makes you seem weak."

Personality: Ellade is kind and mother-like to those that she meets. She enjoys taking care of people and insists that she places others in front of herself. She is a leader and jumps at any opportunity that may put her in the leader position. Ellade loves the position of power and silently starves for it; she fears how strong her desire for it is and in turn suppresses it by taking care of people. Her darker side remembers the power she once had and craves it. Because of this, Ellade is in a constant internal battle, she often draws into herself and as a result, is described as spacey. Although she is usually sweet, her general personality is a thin veil compared to how angry and savage she can become. She dislikes being insulted and takes most things seriously, although she likes to have fun and enjoy herself.

Battle is the one thing that both sides of Ellade can agree on, the honor of fighting a worthy opponent mixed with the thrill of bloodshed balances her out. Her mind is usually clearer when she's on the battlefield and as a result, she likes to train. Even so, Ellade doesn't pick petty fights, she's always up for a sparring match or an issued challenge. Ellade tries to be humble, although she knows she is strong, she knows there are those out there who are stronger than her. This also leads her to think about those who are weaker than her and it feeds the beast she tries to control.

When provoked, Ellade can usually brush it off, unless she is insulted. Then she gets the urge to shut the person doubting her up by removing their tongue. Other than that, unless she's on a mission, she doesn't see why she can't be civil and share a cup of tea with others, regardless of what race they are.

THE INVENTORY
"The curtain that falls down at the end, shall be pulled down by the blade of my sword."

Ressurection Name & Description: Gisei kuīn

The queen of sacrifice, Ellade's resurrection allows her to manipulate her own blood once it's left her body. She can create anything from it, be it weapons, shields, or bandages by hardening the various metals in her blood. Unlike most, Ellade's blood is black from the increased amount of metal she has in her blood. She can lose a greater amount of blood than most before she gets dizzy.

While she is in this state, Ellade has a crown and wings made from swords. The crown is comprised of several smaller swords that can attack connected or detach and be used as projectiles, as opposed to her wings that stay attached to her back. Ellade can control her crown much like a yo-yo, and when it is not in use, it hovers slightly above her head.

Her wings are made from two large blades that span seven feet. Both of the wings are lined with rows of small swords that serve as feathers, they are a pristine silver color and lie in neat rows. Ellade can remove some of her feathers to use in battle as either hand-held swords or fire them from her wings. She can call her feathers back, but if they are broken, the swords regenerate, but not without time and the use of Ellade's blood. Because of this, she mostly uses her wings for defense and speed.

THE STORY
"If history repeats itself, and moves in a circular path, then believing that whatever force is turning it is perfect, is all we can do as we move ahead. Pushed along by forces beyond our control, waiting, for the blade to be swung."

History:
Ellade was born into a peasant family in the fall. She grew up as the youngest in a warm family and despite the lack of money, they were happy. She lived in the country side of the Kingdom of Fiore, her family farmed for food. They drove to the city once every two weeks to sell whatever excess the had. Ellade spent most of her free time hunting or playing with her elder brother, he taught her how to wield a sword and to defend herself. As a result, Ellade grew up with a strong will and body, she rose to become a skilled swordsman.

As Ellade grew older and a new king came into power, things went downhill. The new king was a cruel man that only cared about money. The price of medicine skyrocketed, and after a harsh drought, the price of food followed. The city became a dangerous place, riddled with thieves and disease. Ellade's brother took it upon himself to go to the city to protect their graying parents, Ellade took the task of hunting and protecting the house since it was deemed less dangerous. The world seemed to spiral around death, you were unable to go to the well without someone speaking of how they couldn't afford help for their loved ones, there were burials every other week, Ellade's brother spoke of how there were people laying in the streets of the city. Ellade was sickened by it, but she did not know what she could do, for she was only one person.

The last straw came with her brother getting sick, he had gotten ill from going to the city. Like many others, her family was too poor to afford the expensive medicine, and despite their best efforts her brother passed. Ellade was filled with anger, being forced to bury the person she admired while he was still in his prime. She called her neighbors and kinsmen to arms, it was fitting that she was born in the season of change. Ellade marched to the capital city, bringing any able-bodied person she could find with her. As she traveled, she was unsurprised to find that the suffering stretched far, it was easy to find those like her; people who wanted change, but were unsure of how they could do anything. They marched by day, set up camp and trained by night; her march took four weeks even though they had met little resistance, she took her time to gather her army and to get to know them.

When she had finally made it to the city, she was disgusted by what she saw. She had known that people lay in the streets, but not to what extent. The smell of decay greeted them and the air was stagnant, no matter how clean the main streets were, people fell out of the alleys. Ellade stormed the castle, the few guards that met them were promptly taken care of. Ellade came to the throne room, she was almost taken aback by the fact that one person could cause so much pain.

After she had slain the king, Ellade became a tyrant*. She worked tirelessly for years to not only clean up the streets, but to extend help throughout the kingdom. She lowered the prices of medicine and taxes, she hoped to make her brother proud of her accomplishments. They sang her praise throughout the kingdom but when things seemed to settle down, she was met with silence. She still handed Fiore's affairs with great efficiency, but became irritated with the fact that people were too busy enjoying their lives to remember who had made them so happy for them in the first place.

A darker side of Ellade began to develop, cultured by the will to not disappear from the public scene and her acquired power. Thoughts about how much power she had and what terror she could bring with it visited her in the nights, she became anxious and jittery at the thought of being forgotten; but feared what she could become. She thought she could control herself if she did little things here and there, she raised taxes, made all executions public and attended each one, gave unjust trials every once in awhile; but these things only served to wet her appetite instead of sate it. She was convinced that the throne was cursed.

In an attempt to salvage whatever innocence she had left as well as to protect her kingdom from herself, Ellade took her life. Using the very sword she used to end the previous king's life, she stabbed herself in her heart. Eventually, the hole that would mark her as a hollow would form here. Even though she thought that the ending her life would solve her issues, Ellade was tied to her throne after her death. She watched countless others take it, she tried to warn them about it's dangers, but was ignored. Ellade became obsessed with keeping people out of the throne and became violent each time someone else took over, soon enough, her soul chain disappeared and she became a hollow. She took to consuming the souls of whoever took the throne, rumor around the kingdom started that the throne truly was cursed.

Only after witnessing the fall of Fiore, was Ellade able to go to Hueco Mundo. Even though she despised it, her dark side was what drove her to become a greater hollow and eventually rip off her mask. She strove to gain more power and now enjoys her rank amongst the strongest of the Arrancars. Over the years she's spent in Hueco Mundo, she's come to some understanding with her darker side since she owes her current existence to it.

Et Cetera: *tyrant as in the terms of: a ruler who had seized power without legal right to it.
