Orihime & Rukia as Espadas Ψ( `∀)(∀´ )Ψ
To the Designs~
I wanted Orihime to look a bit like a fairy🦋 but also incoorparete the "horns" Kubo talked about in his earlier Design of Orihimes powers uwu so her mask shatters have ofc her characteristic flower form, but also look like tiny horns x3 I decided to give her a spear, because I feel like a sword would have been too straightforward xD She is more of a distance fighter, but I didn't want to give her a bow, because it is very limited in near distance fights, so a spear it is x3
She is number 4 and that means Ulqui got degraded lololol He's a bit salty about that xD haha There would be some sort of rivalry between them, not only because Hime pushed him down with her first apperance (She and Rukia were created last, so you could call them the newest generation of espadas, hence their outfits are a lot different and "extra" if you want to call it so x'D haha) but he is simply intrigued by her. He couldn't care less about others and their ranks as we know, but smth bothers him about her. Is it her carefree character? Her angelic coat that hides her devastating powers? Or simply the way she moves ? The words she speaks to him? One second warm and caring as if she's trying to lure him into her world and in the other distant and unapproachable. She is a riddle to him which he wants to solve.
Rukias Espada Design was inspired by her Bankai "Hakka no Togame" ❄️ I've woven distinctive Elements of it into her Design like her shoulder parts, crown and her sword with the fabric. She is the ice queen of Bleach so that's what I wanted to represent with her dress. An icy gracefulness if that makes sense xD haha Her hollow mask is always covered with Ice Crystals. No one has seen her Hollow Mask, that's why some even think she doesn't have one. Their thought isn't fully wrong tho. She has ofc a hollow mask but it is different from the rest. It has a huge crack like Nel's but it doesn't limit her power in any way. In fact she is the strongest Espada with the ranking Nr 0. (Yammy got kicked out completly xD hahaha even tho he has nr. 0 in his released form, but Aizen didn't want to deal with him anymore lolol ). As long as she doesn't understand her mask and powers fully she doesn't want to disclose anything about her.
