History/Background:
Age: around 90 (24 in appearance)
Gender: Female
Personality:
Aspect of Death: AttachmentAppearance:
Lucia is a mostly calm person, even in battle. She takes everything very seriously for the most part, but does have a small sense of humour. She is loyal to the Espada organization and would not betray their orders. She regards battle with neither excitement or regret, to her, battle is simply a task to be executed. Because of that thought process, she does not hold back in battle, but she doesn't do anything uneccesary, she simply tries to finish it as quickly as possible.
She has a strong desire to serve and be useful to someone. This is how she tries to give her existance purpose. She tends to develop a strong bond with those close to her and seeks acceptance with persistance. She had a great love for human sweets, especially frozen ones.
Her previous master, Grimmjow, treted Lucia with neglect, but Lucia still served him faithfully and looked up to the man. Her dear friend and the person she admired was was Tia Halibel, whom she tended to follow constantly. These two Espada were the people who Lucia admired most in her life. Grimmjow was a father to her, Halibel was like a mother to her, and both their fraccion were like sisters. All of them left without a trace, leaving Lucia alone, the only one who stayed was Arja. Lucia became bitter, confused, and saddened by the loss of her "family".
Since becoming the new Decima Espada, Lucia has overcome many of her issues including loss of emotional control regarding those close to her, and dependence on her superiors for emotional support. Her demeanor has become more cold and serious, but she still longs for emotional attachment, so she treats those close to her with kindness and understanding. She hopes to one day form her own family of fraccion.
Arrancar Powers:
* Lucia's mask fragment is located along her left eye, partially surrounding it, but not covering it. (see below pic) She always covers this mask remnant with her bangs.
Note: That isn't Lucia
** Lucia's hollow hole is located in the middle of her stomach, its rather small, big enough to fit your hand through.
*** Lucia's "10" tattoo is located on her right shoulder
Toque de Hielo (Spanish for "Ice Touch") - Lucia can lower the temperature of an objects she can physically touch, and in addition, freeze the moisture around it to encase it in a thin shell of ice. She can freeze water by walking on it, or encase someone's head in ice if she were to rest her hand upon it. A person's ability to break out of the ice depends entirely on one's physical strength or reieitsu. She can also freeze objects with her breath, which is full of moisture so certianly creates ice. The amount of reietsu poured into this ability factors into the how much of the object is frozen over, as to freeze an entire building would take much more reietsu than freezing a puddle. This technique is useful when wanting to put a weaker oppponent into submission without killing them, or create a trap or slow opponents down.Natural Arrancar Powers:
Cero de la Francotiradora (Spanish for "Sniper Cero") - Lucia's unique cero is a very useful technique for ranged kills. This particular Cero variation compressess the power of a normal cero into a very small and narrow form. This gives the cero greater speed, about the speed of a bala. The narrowness of the cero beam makes it unsuitable for causing massive damage, but perfect for hitting vital points. The attack's compressed power allows it to burn straight through the body of the target, or even steel or stone, without damaging the overall structure. The range for the attack is very great as well, with enough precision, Lucia could hit an opponents heart from over over 50 meters away, and can at least hit a target from 100 meters away. This cero, like her normal cero, is a light blue color. She fires this from her index finger.
Cero - (ÐééW (¥»¥í), sero; Spanish for "Zero," Japanese for "Hollow Flash," are high-powered energy blasts that can be fired from various body parts. Lucia fire's her normal cero from the palm of her hand. Her cero is of average quality of an espada ranked arrancar, and is light blue in color.Zanpakuto's name:
Hierro - (ä“Ƥ (¥¤¥¨¥í), iero; Spanish for "Iron," Japanese for "Steel Skin") refers to the hardened skin of the Arrancar, which is a result of their compressed spiritual power. While their skin is strong enough to block even released Zanpakut¨ bare-handed, it is by no means impenetrable. Stronger Arrancar generally have proportionally stronger skin than usual. Lucia Isaksen's hierro is typical of Espada level. While she prefers to dodge attack rather than take them head on, her hierro is effiecient enough to block a blade with her arm or take an attack with close to minimal injury.
Sonido - (í‘Üž (¥½¥Ë©`¥É), son¨©do; Spanish for "Sound," Japanese for "Sound Ceremony") is the Arrancar equivalent of the Shinigami Flash Steps and the Quincy Hirenkyaku; it allows the user to travel at incredibly high speeds for short distances. Use of Son¨ªdo is punctuated by a brief static sound, in contrast to the "swish" sound caused by Flash Steps. Lucia's sonido in particular is very advanced, as she tend to utilize speed and swordplay in her attacks. She can outrun some of the higher ranked espada, and her ability to dodge using sonido and normal speed (which is also very fast) is impressive. She can use sonido in rapid succesion for evadin, attacking, or simply moving from one place to another.
Lumimyrsky (Finnish for "Blizzard")Un-released Zanpakuto's Appearance:
Lucia's unreleased zanpaktou take the appearance of a european style long sword with a silver blade, golden guard, black hilt, and golden hilt tip. The scabbard is purple with a golden line running down the middle with a golden tip. *see first picture*Resurrección Release phrase::
jäätävät tuulet jäädyttäkää sydän (Finnish for "Chill winds, freeze the heart")Resurrección Appearance::
In her Resurreccion, parts of Lucia's arms, legs, and torso are covered in ice. The ice does not cover the entirity of her body, but rather just parts of it in a symetric pattern, mainly her forearms and forelegs, along with all of her clothes, leaving her bare skin, well, bare. The air around her becomes freezing and her reietsu forms a localized blizzard around her, covering everything around her in a sheet of snow. The mask fragment along her left eye breaks off as she releases, leaving a cyan mark along her eye in the shape of the fragment, partially outlining her eye.Resurrección Abilities::
After her transformation is complete, Lucia holds both of her hands out and a sword of ice appears in her hands. The blade, hilt, and guard are completely made out of ice that can't be broken or melted very easily. Whatever the blade cuts freezes. If Lucia were to make a cut into the body of her opponent, then the wound with freeze over as the ice crystals form and cut into the flesh of the wound.
In her Resureccion, Lucia has control over elements of Ice and snow. Her resureccion also helps her melee abilities. She can shape the ice on her forearms or forelegs into a sharp blade to attack opponents. She can also shoot shards of ice from her arms and legs. The ice on her body is incredibly strong and is diffucult to break. It acts as a primary defense that is more effective than her heirro. Lucia can also freeze nearly any physical object over with ice by being inches away from it, even meters away from it depending on the object in question. All water in the area freezes as well.Skill Level: Kidou: Intermediate
Cero Hielo - Lucia's special cero in her released form, this cero is a very pale blue color and shines because of the crytal ice shards within it. With the power of a normal cero, this cero freezes anything it hits instead of incinerating it.
Grand Rey Cero de Hielo - A cero unique to the Espada, Lucia can fire this only in her resurreccion. Lucia is incapable of firing a normal grand rey cero, but her own special Grand Rey Cero is in her range of abilities. The massive blast of pale blue energy has an icy make up and like the normal cero hielo, freezes anything it touches. The difference between this and the normal attack is the sheer magnitude. Once the cero hits the ground or a wall, the entire landscape is completely turned into a icy wasteland, complete with small mountains of ice encasing objects in the terrain, and sharp icy outcroppings. One would walk into the area of the blast radius afterward, and beleive that they had somehow stumbled upon Antarctica. This attack uses a ridiculous amount of reitsu and stands as Lucia's most powerful attack since it changes the landscape itself, and if one were to get hit by this attack directly, they would find themselves helplessly encased in a thick sheet of ice, far beneath the new snowy surface.

History/Background:
Lucia was originally a young child living in Finnland during WWII. She was born of a swedish mother and Finnish father. Her father was a soldier fighting against the Russians (Who were still allied with Hitler at the time). She lived in a small cabin in the forrest with her mother and grand parents. After several years, she heard no word from her father and her mother was deadly ill and her grandparents died not too shortly before. Afraid of losing the only family she had left, Lucia traveled several miles in a snowstrom to the nearest town to retreive medicine. The journey was difficult and harsh, but her determination to safe her mother from death kept her going. She safely mangaged to get to the pharmacy and immediatly headed back towrwards home. When she arrived, she saw that her cabin had been burnt to the ground and her mother's corpse lay among the ashes and debris. Broken and hopeless, Lucia collapsed beside her mother and froze to death in the cold blizzard.RP Sample:
After her death, Lucia's soul wandered the fozen wastelands aimlessly without purpose and was slowly consumed by lonliness and misery. Eventually she turned into a small hollow over the years. She continued to roam the frozen scandinavian landscape, conuming the souls of both live and dead soldiers, whom she blamed for her misfortune and the death of her parents.
Lucia continued to this for a long time driven on revenge for it was the only purpose she had. Her consumption of souls fed her instinct to search for more power, and she began to eat other hollows she found and was able to overpower hollows much bigger than herself. She eventually turned into a gillian class menos after eating enough souls and hollows. By the late 90's she had transformed once again into an adjuchas, who still suprised and overpowered unsuspecting hollows who thought she was an easy meal.
When Aizen arrived in Hueco Mundo, Lucia was one of the adjuchas chosen to be transformed into an arrancar. She welcomed this transformation and pledged loyalty to Aizen. With her new found loyalty and purpose in life, Lucia finally felt alive. However, she still faced a devestating sense of lonliness and emptyness caused by the Espada ignoring her ability and skill. She continued to train with a fierce determination, yet she was still overlooked.
Eventually her skill and prowess put her in favor of the Primera Espada, Grimmjow Jaegerjaq, whom noted her as being worthy enough to serve as his new fraccion. Along with Arja, Lucia served Grimmjow loyally, carrying out her tasks without any question or hesitation, trying to win Grimmjow's acceptance. Despite her effort, Grimmjow often neglected Lucia's emotions, seeing her only as a servant. However, that emotional acceptance was found in another person, Tia Halibel. In a chance encounter, Lucia met Halibel in the human world where she was hiding, the two of them spent time tiogether in the real world, and formed a bond. Lucia wanted someone whom she could consider family, halibel wanted to fill the void of her loss of fraccion. The two found these things in each other. Even when Aizen returned and revived Halibel's fraccion, Lucia was still welocme into there little family, she was only more happy to have others, though they weren't very sentimental about it. Between Grimmjow and Halibel, Lucia found a new happiness an her own family. However, soon that all changed, when Grimmjow defected from the Espada, and Halibel disapeared after the final battle.
Lucia, no longer anyone's fraccion, decided to become her own master (aside from Gin). She rose to the rank of Decima (10th) Espada, her ability had been great enough to make this transition anyway, but she was held back because of her desire to serve, and not lead. For her own reasons, she cut her hair and changed her uniform's style to symbolize her transition in rank and mind. Despite being of the lowest rank, Lucia is one of the most skilled arrancar in the Espada. She longs for fraccion of her own, as well as to see both Halibel and Grimmjow once again.
Lucia's cold gaze scanned the equally blank horizon of Heuco Mundo, holding a large ice cream cone topped with two scoops of creamy vanilla flavored ice cream. She sadly gazed at the white sands and scrawny trees, wondering about the life she led now. She had learned to depend on herslef instead of others, she learned to consider her own needs and wants, wasn't this a good thing? But how she longed for someone to be with again, someone to embrace warmly and melt the cold ice of lonliness away. How she wanted to see Halibel once more, such a kind and mild woman who deeply cared for those close to her. How she wanted to see Grimmjow, who's rough speech and uncaring disposition had become all to familar to Lucia. And Sun-sun, Mila Rose, and Apache, her bickering siblings that added to the sense of family for her. These were the thoughts that settled into Lucia's mind as she vacantly stared into nothingness, bringing the soft white frozen dessert to her mouth, licking it softly, the cold and sweet sensation on her tongue brought her comfort. At least she still had Arja, at least she still had herself. Lucia stood up, turning away from the gloomy window. She rubbed her shoulder as she walked towards the door of the small room she was in. The "10" on her arm was fairly new and still seemed weird to look at. She was an Espada, she was one of the people she had once admired so. The full realization of it all was hard hitting. But others things took up the whole of her mind. As Lucia opened the door and walked into the vast empty corridors of Las Noches, she wondered if one in her "family" was thinking of her......
