Franceska Mila Rose

is the 55th Arrancar in Sōsuke Aizen's army and one of Tia Harribel's three female Fracción.

Appearance
Mila Rose is a dark-skinned Arrancar who dresses like an Amazon warrior and has a toned body. She has long, thick wavy brown hair and green eyes. She also bears a striking resemblance to Rangiku Matsumoto, along with their similarities in having wavy hair and large breasts. Her mask fragments form a three-sectioned crown around her head and a thick necklace. Her Hollow hole is positioned midway between her navel and breasts.

Personality
She appears to be more rational than Apacci, though is still easily angered by insults from her fellow Fraccion and Rangiku Matsumoto, who calls her a female gorilla. She can also be somewhat sadistic when fighting, based on her facial expressions when swordfighting Matsumoto.

History
Prior to becoming a Números, Mila Rose was a lion-like Hollow. Mila Rose, along with Sung-Sun, was part of Harribel's group before Aizen recruited her. When Harribel saves Apacci, she introduces her to Sung-Sun and Mila Rose and asks her to join them. Later, she chased down a Hollow with Apacci and Sung-Sun, which ended in an argument.

When Harribel was confronted by Baraggan Luisenbarn's court, Mila Rose witnessed Harribel cutting down the Hammerhead Hollow and rejecting Baraggan's offer to join him or leave. Later, back at the base, Mila Rose mentions rumors about Barragan and his army and the fact that many of Baraggan's Hollow soldiers have cracked masks, but Apacci dismisses the rumours as unimportant and was confident that they could handle anyone with Harribel as their master. Just then, they were interrupted by the appearance of the Hammerhead Hollow (now an Arrancar) who proceeded to attack them. Harribel appeared and told her companions to run. Mila Rose escapes with the others, but was convinced by Apacci to return and help Harribel. They do so, but are quickly defeated by the strong Hammerhead Arrancar, leaving Harribel to continue fighting alone. Just when Harribel was about to be killed, Aizen appears and dispatches the Hammerhead Hollow.

Hueco Mundo arc
She makes her first appearance alongside Tia Harribel and the rest of her Fracción observing the battle between Ichigo Kurosaki and Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez. She then remarks that the Gran Rey Cero is something that shouldn't be used under the canopy of Las Noches and is apparently being shaken by the Reiatsu given off by Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez's Resurrección.

Fake Karakura Town arc
Later, she, Apacci, and Sung-Sun appear alongside Harribel, the other two strongest Espada, and their Fracción in the fake Karakura Town to do battle with the Gotei 13.

With the pillars keeping the real Karakura Town in Soul Society successfully defended, and four of Baraggan Luisenbarn's Fracción killed, the remaining Fracción pair up against each Shinigami and begin to duke it out; Mila Rose, Apacci, and Sung-Sun take on 10th Division Captain Tōshirō Hitsugaya and 10th Division Lieutenant Rangiku Matsumoto. However, Rangiku decides to take on all three while her captain heads for their leader.

Mila Rose and Apacci begin getting into a verbal warfare with Rangiku, while Sung-Sun criticizes them for taking their opponent's bait. While the trio berate each other, Rangiku uses her Zanpakutō's Shikai to surround them, only to be countered by their Cero. Following the counterattack, Rangiku is then single-handedly pummelled by Apacci. The fight is later interrupted when Apacci is blasted by an unknown attacker who is later revealed to be 5th Division Lieutenant Momo Hinamori. Before Mila Rose and the rest of Harribel's Fracción can react, they are engulfed in a massive explosion caused by Hinamori, applying her Zanpakutō to a Kidō net. However, they survive thanks to their release of their Zanpakutō, thereby healing all their wounds, leading to their activation of their "Quimera Parca" ability. The product of their activation comes in the form of a chimera-like creature, which they named "Ayon".

Seconds later, Ayon charges at Rangiku and defeats her with a single attack, tearing off her right abdomen. As Hinamori attempts to attack the beast herself, Ayon quickly dispatches her as well with one blow. Just when Ayon attempts to finish Hinamori off, 3rd Division Lieutenant Izuru Kira and 9th Division Lieutenant Shūhei Hisagi save her with Bakudō 37 and relieve her of her duty.

Following their arrival, Hisagi tells Kira to tend to Hinamori's and Matsumoto's wounds. Kira reluctantly agrees and swoops off, leaving Hisagi to deal with with Ayon alone. Hisagi starts off by using Kidō Destructive Spell Number 11, Tsuzuri Raiden, which results by Ayon's apparent immobilization. With that epiphany, Hisagi figures that Kidō seems to be the beast's weakness. As a result, he ties up Ayon using the chains of his Zanpakutō, Kazeshini, and proceeds to defeat him. Before he could do so, however, Ayon easily breaks free. As the creature prepares to attack, Hisagi tries his best to dodge it, only for him to get caught. Ayon then stretches its mouth wide open and prepares to swallow Hisagi. Just then, 7th Division Lieutenant Tetsuzaemon Iba arrives at the scene to save Hisagi. Sensing no reaction from Ayon, Iba moves in for the kill, only to be shot by the creature's Cero, coming from the back of its hair. After Iba's failed attempt, Ayon crushes Hisagi with its fist and flings his limp body aside. With Hisagi and Iba knocked out, Ayon moves in for Kira. Just as all seem lost for the unlucky lieutenant, Captain-Commander Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto makes his timely arrival and stabs Ayon with his cane.

As Ayon attempts to retaliate, Yamamoto finishes it off with his Shikai. With the defeat of their "pet", Mila Rose, Apacci, and Sung-Sun attempt to attack Yamamoto head-on. Their sneak-attack merely ends in vain, as the captain-commander effortlessly incinerates them. Harribel's reaction to this apparently indicates that they have been killed, but Yamamoto himself comments that he didn't completely burn them (out of respect for their fighting spirit).

When she later prepares to confront Yamamoto, Harribel emphasizes Mila Rose's, Apacci's, and Sung-Sun's deaths and that "she'll make him pay for taking their lives".

Powers & Abilities
Expert Swordsmanship Specialist: In the anime, Mila Rose showed considerable skill in swordsmanship against Rangiku, demonstrating strong attacks that forced her opponent back.

Cero: Mila Rose has an orange colored Cero. She seems to charge it in her left hand, then "punches" it with her right.

Sonído: Like her partners, Mila Rose has proficient skill in Sonído, at least on part to Fracción.

High Spiritual Power: Being an Arrancar and a Fracción, Mila Rose has a high amount of spiritual power.

Zanpakutō
. When sealed, it resembles a broad sword instead of the regular katana-shaped ones wielded by other Arrancar and Shinigami.


 * Resurrección: Mila Rose activates her Zanpakutō by its release command . In her Resurrección form, she looks like an armored Amazon warrior, with two claws holding her breasts (though this is toned down in the anime due to censorship), an armored thong, and a pair of boots that go all the way up to her upper thigh. She also gains sharp lion-like fangs, an orange x-shaped mark on her forehead, and a long lion mane, with gold highlights. She still retains her broad sword, though it changes in size, shape, and color.


 * Resurrección Special Ability:


 * Mila Rose has a special ability, with Apacci and Sung-Sun, called Quimera Parca, in which each one of them tears off their left arms, which combine to form a new creature. This creature is massively-large, towering over average-size combatants. The creature has a deer skull for a head, a massive muscular torso, a long black mane, deer legs, and a serpent's tail. Apacci claims that its name is "Ayon", and it's their pet. But, apparently, this creature is unable to hear any of the three Fraccións' instructions.

Censorship
In the manga, Sung-Sun, Mila Rose, and Apacci summon Ayon by tearing off their left arms. In the anime, however, they simply hold their left arms to fire a red beam that becomes Ayon. But it is seen later on that they didn't have their left arms and they have red auras to cover their arms.
