Bambietta Basterbine

Bambietta Basterbine (バンビエッタ・バスターバイン, Banbietta Basutābain) is a Quincy and a member of the Wandenreich's Sternritter with the designation E: The Explode. She is also the self-appointed leader of the Sternritter's female members. Bambietta is a slender young girl with long, straight, dark purple hair and eyes of the same color. Her attire is a variation of the Sternritter's typical white uniform, consisting of the order's signature hooded cloak, a thigh-length trench coat, knee-high boots, a miniskirt, and black stockings with a red trim on her gloves and boots. She wears a red heart-shaped belt buckle and a white cap with gold trimmings, which features a black peak and the Wandenreich insignia emblazoned on its front. Bambietta is a particularly sadistic individual, evident in how she screams in joy as she slaughters her enemies. She is not above attacking her male subordinates to vent her frustration, sometimes bringing them into her room for "special relief" before killing them without remorse. She does not believe in fighting if one has already thrown away one's life. Bambietta refers to herself as the self proclaimed "leader" between her and some of her fellow Sternritter, and dislikes being abandoned by them and finds it quite embarrassing. In such cases she detonates the nearby environment in a destructive manner and implies she will reduce the area to flat land to bring them out. Bambietta has a strong sense of survival and self-preservation; during her second fight against Sajin Komamura, Bambietta was unable to understand the reasons for the lengths he went through in order to increase his power to kill Yhwach by offering his heart, with her stating her belief that the point of fighting is people not wanting to die and thus finding it incomprehensible for someone to throw away their life just to win a battle. Later after being severely injured by Komamura, Bambietta fell into panic due to knowing full well the repercussion of being defeated for a Sternritter and stating that she refuses to let it end like this. When about to be killed by Giselle to "save" her, Bambietta begged Giselle not to kill her, further highlighting her deep desire to survive. Later, upon being turned into a zombie by Giselle Gewelle, Bambietta's personality and behavior changes considerably. Though she retains her personality and a measure of free will, Bambietta has now become completely servile to Giselle and follows her orders without question, seemingly fearing punishment from Giselle, who frequently abuses her. This results in Bambietta adopting an almost childlike mentality, referring to herself as "Bambi" and attempted to avoid punishment from Giselle by trying to convince her that she has been a "good girl". As a Zombie, Bambietta also craves Giselle's blood as a reward. Despite this state, Bambietta has retained her previous sense of survival and self-preservation, having attempted to stop Giselle from taking too much of her blood when she began drinking it to heal herself after surviving her fight against Mayuri. Powers & Abilities Great Spiritual Power: Bambietta's spiritual power is on a level comparable to or greater than that of a captain-level Shinigami. She is powerful enough to fight several Shinigami simultaneously, including 7th Division Captain Sajin Komamura and his lieutenant, Tetsuzaemon Iba. Reishi Manipulation: As a Quincy, she primarily absorbs spiritual energy from the atmosphere, and combines it with her own spiritual energy to form weapons. She has an easier time collecting this energy in environments with higher concentrations of Reishi such as in Soul Society or Hueco Mundo. Swordswoman: Bambietta has shown some skill in swordsmanship, as she was able to perform very swift cuts, even bifurcating an unseated Shinigami and their respective Zanpakutō with ease. Shadow: A Quincy technique that allows the user to traverse dimensions by using shadows. Bambietta is capable of using this technique to move out of the Seireitei, as well as to manifest a portal allowing Soldat to enter and invade. chrift TheExplode Bambietta detonates a Medallion with The Explode. The Explode (爆撃ジ・エクスプロード, Ji Ekusupurōdo; Japanese for "Bombing Raid"): Bambietta's Schrift bestows unto her the ability to create bombs. Her explosive attacks cannot be blocked because her attacks are not bombs made of Reishi; they are Reishi that turn anything they make contact with into a bomb itself. This ability allows for omni-directional attacks, such that Bambietta does not have to actually target an opponent and can inflict significant area damage. By using her power, Bambietta can set off explosions within her close vicinity. Additionally, she can generate explosive energy around her, which radiates outward in a large globe and causes heavy damage to her surroundings. Spirit Weapon Reishi Sword: Using her abilities as a Quincy, Bambietta can concentrate both spirit energy and particles in order to transform them into weapons. Her favored weapon manifests in the form of a short ornate broadsword, somewhat reminiscent of a Chinese dao, with a forked blade in the style of Zulfiqar. Using this sword, she can bifurcate unseated Shinigami and their respective Zanpakutō with ease. Zofiel (神の炎 ゾフィエル, Zofieru; Japanese for "Blaze of God"): When Bambietta's Quincy: Vollständig is activated, a substantial amount of Reiatsu is released, resulting in the formation of a towering column of red energy that ends in a large Quincy Cross, from which Bambietta emerges in the Quincy: Vollständig after the column shatters. In this form Bambietta develops large Heiligen Fliegen and a Heiligenschein in the shape of a star-like Quincy Zeichen floating above her head. Bambietta's Reiatsu also turns red. Flight: Using the Heiligen Fliegen generated by Zofiel, Bambietta gains the ability to fly at high speeds. Enhanced Durability: In this form Bambietta's physical durability is enhanced. When she was slammed by Komamura's Bankai, Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō: Dangai Jōe, into a building, she was forced to use a bomb to escape and only emerged with a few burns and scratches, showing no signs of slowing down from the attacks. The Explode (Enhanced): While using Quincy: Vollständig, orbs of Reishi form underneath her wings. She can release these Reishi spheres from her Heiligen Fliegen, sending large quantities of them into her surroundings. Any item that comes in contact with these Reishi orbs becomes a bomb and explodes after a brief delay. A single explosion was strong enough to heavily injure Shinji Hirako. Zombie Form: After being killed and zombified by Giselle Gewelle, Bambietta's Vollständig underwent some minor changes, with her Heiligen Fliegen shrinking and becoming a darker red.
