Luccia Botta

Lucia (るしょ (ルショ); Rusho) was a timid arrancar of The Arrancar Five, playing a role in the Arrancar Five Arc. She is one of the few arrancar to lack much of bone from the Hollow mask that originated in her previous form. The fragment of her mask, that remains, covers her left eye, which is hidden within her hair. Although not directly stated, it may be that Lucia's blindness contributes to her timid nature.

Biography


Lucia's past remains in general obscurity, though she was revealed to be naturally blind since "birth." This handicap made her a target to many hollows as an adjucha class menos, though her inner strength and skill in locating others compensated for the loss. This allowed her to take her opponents by surprise and annihilate intended assailants before the realization that Lucia was not as weak as she appeared struck.

Abilities
Lucia is known to have used bala, cero, and sonido. She has a decent hierro and notably strong skill in pesquisa. However, her skill in pesquisa is off-set by her blindness; Lucia is incapable of exactly pinpointing an enemy location by herself.

Zanpakutou
There is very little that is outstanding about Lucia's zanpakutou, outside the fact that it looks like a Western sword instead of a katana. The command word to release her zanpakutou, Ojos, is "Open" (あける; akeru).
