 * Name: Girado Riendo Mariposa
 * Race: Arrancar
 * Skill & Power: Girado is an extremely intellectual and powerful Arrancar, one of, if not the only Arrancar, capable of wielding Kidou with skill to match and even surpass most Shinigami. In flat terms of spiritual power, his is immense, fitting his incredibly long life span and age old experience. He is a scientist, a spy, a strategist, a teacher, and a manipulator. He knows a great deal of the inner workings of the spiritual realm and its counterpart, the Living World. He is physically strong despite looking frail and has more than enough versatility to bolster what appears to be rather average skill in the art of swordsmanship.
 * Fighting Style: Girado does not so much fight as he does orchestrate. He does not walk into battle unprepared, and he seeks no thrill from battle. It is a means to an end, and the end is always success. Loss and victory can both be used to further ones goals, after all. He manipulates whatever he can so that an outcome always comes in his favour, and prefers greatly to never have to lift a finger of his own in the fight. In the cases that he does though, he makes it clear that he is very much a master over the flow and control of Reiryoku. Cero, Bala, Kidou, he wields them all in an extravagant symphony of power and destruction. His Zanpakutou is used more for its abilities than its form as a weapon, his swordsmanship and other more physical qualities are reserved for secondary measures and never the primary focus. For those occasions where he is in true danger, manipulating the obscure and little-known products are how he overcomes his opponents, taking in to account factors that others would ignore or not even realize exist in order to grant him the perfect upperhand.
 * Reason for Position: Truthfully, Girado cares little for power or authority, he is not an ambitious being and most of what he does is done merely on a whim. He would do just as well as Numeros 100 as he would the Primera (Or Tercera in this case). What the position grants him however, is influence. With the Espada newly reformed and Hueco Mundo in a position that is ripe for change, being an Espada, especially a high-ranking one gives him the perfect seat in which to manipulate the Hollow homeland in great ways. Change is interesting to him, after all. It also grants him a great boon in the form of "access". As a being primarily motivated in experimentation and the furthering of his own brand of science, Girado finds himself with a limitless need for resources, something a position within the Espada could easily provide. Be it subjects, tools, or anything else he might desire.
 * Obtaining the Position: Every king needs an adviser, every general needs a strategist. With the Espada reforming under Grimmjow, Girado sought him out and offered his services to him, he does not care about power and is severely lacking in ambition, so showing the new Primera subservience would be trivial for him. On the other hand, he provides a sharp and keen mind to Grimmjow's rule in a time where Hueco Mundo is ripe for growth.
