is the 54th Arrancar in Sōsuke Aizen's army and one of Tier Harribel's three Fracción.

Appearance
Apacci is a tomboyish Arrancar with heterochromia: her right eye is ice blue, while her left eye is amber with a red outline around it. She has black, jaw-length hair, and her mask fragment is on the top of her head with a horn in the middle. She wears the standard Arrancar uniform, but has shoulder length sleeves with black cuffs with a v-neck, and gloves and collars over her wrists, which are actually her Zanpakutō.

During the seventeen months following Aizen's defeat, her mask fragments change shape. Behind her horn is a longitudinal crest resembling a Roman legionnaire's.

Personality
Apacci is impatient, short-tempered, rude, impulsive, and confrontational, and is usually scolded by Cyan Sung-Sun as a result. She is fiercely loyal to Harribel, finding the action of Hitsugaya raising his sword at her deeply offensive. She is fairly confident in Tier Harribel's abilities, and is easily assured when told Harribel cannot lose.

History
Prior to becoming a Números, Apacci was a deer-like Hollow. Apacci first met Harribel when she was still an Adjuchas. After Harribel saved her from another Hollow who was about to devour her, she followed Harribel back to her base, where she met Franceska Mila Rose and Cyan Sung-Sun. There, Harribel invited Apacci to join their group, and Apacci, though initially hesitant to work in a team, reluctantly agreed. Sometime later, Apacci, Mila Rose, and Sung-Sun chased down another Hollow. When Harribel instructed them to allow it to escape, Apacci questioned why they should do this, prompting Harribel to state she did not want to get stronger by devouring other Hollows, and if she could not defeat them alone, she would defeat them together with others.

When Harribel was confronted by Baraggan's court, Apacci witnessed Harribel cut down one of Baraggan's Hollows and reject Baraggan's request to serve him or leave. Sometime later, the same Hollow, now an Arrancar, entered their lair and attacked the group. Appearing, Harribel ordered Apacci and the others to run while she fought the Arrancar. Reluctant to abandon Harribel, Apacci convinced Mila Rose and Sung-Sun they must help their master. Returning to assist Harribel, they were beaten by the Arrancar. As Harribel was about to be killed, Sōsuke Aizen dispatched the Arrancar.

Hueco Mundo arc
After the ninth Espada, Aaroniero Arruruerie, is killed in battle, Apacci asks Harribel what they should do in response. Later, she, along with Harribel and her fellow Fracción, observes the battle between Ichigo Kurosaki and Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez. Along with Sung-Sun and Mila Rose, she is shaken by the Reiatsu given off by Grimmjow's Resurrección.

Fake Karakura Town arc
Along with Mila Rose, Sung-Sun, Harribel, and the other two strongest Espada and their Fracción, Apacci is summoned to the fake Karakura Town to do battle with the Gotei 13. After the pillars which keep the real Karakura Town in Soul Society are successfully defended and four of Baraggan's Fracción are killed, the remaining Fracción pair up against a Shinigami and begin to battle. Apacci, Mila Rose, and Sung-Sun team up against Tōshirō Hitsugaya and Rangiku Matsumoto.

Rangiku decides to take on all three while Hitsugaya handles their leader, Harribel. Trying to stop Hitsugaya, Apacci is ordered to stop by Harribel, who decides to take him on. When Apacci reprimands Hitsugaya for attacking Harribel, Mila Rose tells her to save it for later, prompting Apacci to ask if she thinks it is okay for Hitsugaya to attack Harribel. When Mila Rose explains she should defeat Rangiku before aiding Harribel, Apacci notes Rangiku said she would fight all three of them. When Rangiku tells her she thought her ears were as bad as her fashion sense, Apacci demands to know what she said, only to be stopped by Mila Rose, who tells her to not get provoked. When Mila Rose is also angered by Rangiku's comments, Sung-Sun criticizes them for playing into Rangiku's hand, prompting them to ask her whose side she is on. Telling them they should have attacked her when they had the chance, Rangiku, releasing her Zanpakutō, engulfs them in a cloud of ash. Wondering what the ash is supposed to do, Apacci is tripped by Sung-Sun, who tells her she should not touch things if she does not know what they are. When Apacci's arm is cut, Rangiku, explaining the ability of Haineko, swirls the ash around them in a tornado, prompting the trio to disperse it with their Ceros.

Later, as Rangiku pants, Apacci asks if she can take a break. When Sung-Sun tells her to not be ridiculous, Apacci, saying she is impossible, states three against one is clearly too much for her. When Apacci, telling Rangiku to call over Hitsugaya, states three to two might be more interesting, Rangiku tries to move away, only for Apacci to, catching her, state she told her it is too much for her and throw her away. Dispersing Rangiku's Haineko with a Bala, Apacci, asking if she thinks she will fall for this, charges at her. Stating she is not a match for her even when she is alone, Apacci is hit by a fireball from Momo Hinamori.

As Momo and Rangiku talk, Apacci, asking if they are done, throws her collar at them. As Rangiku blocks it with Haineko and Momo sends another fireball at her, Apacci, returning her collar to her wrist, states the explosion was Momo's power. Saying she must be a lieutenant, Apacci, stating two lieutenants are not much better than three to one, extends blades from her collars as Sung-Sun and Mila Rose draw their Zanpakutō. As Apacci tells them they can go help Harribel after they finish off the lieutenants, they charge at Momo and Rangiku, only to be stopped in midair. As Apacci wonders what this is, Momo explains how she set up a Kidō net when she was masking her Reiatsu. Stating she never thought they would all fall for it, she engulfs them in a large explosion.

As Rangiku and Momo talk, Apacci, Mila Rose, and Sung-Sun enter their Resurrección, healing their injuries in the process, and activate Quimera Parca, creating an enormous monster. As Momo and Rangiku wonder what it is, Apacci tells them it is their pet, Ayon. When Ayon tears out a chunk of Rangiku's abdomen, Apacci, stating Ayon is very strong, tells them to watch out. When Shūhei Hisagi and Izuru Kira show up to fight Ayon, Apacci wonders who they are. When Mila Rose tells her she saw them coming from the pillars, Apacci, asking why she did not stop them, states the Shinigami are sticking their noses into other people's fights and orders Ayon to kill them. When Ayon does not respond, Apacci wonders if it is ignoring her. When Mila Rose states Ayon cannot hear them, Apacci says it must have eardrums somewhere, prompting Sung-Sun to state it has never responded to anything they have said. Saying they should never have brought it out in the first place, Apacci states it is gross.

When Izuru moves Rangiku away, Apacci asks Ayon why it is just standing there. When Ayon is defeated by Captain-Commander Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, Apacci, Mila Rose, and Sung-Sun attack him from above, only to be effortlessly defeated by the flames of Ryūjin Jakka.

The Thousand-Year Blood War arc
Following the Wandenreich's conquest of Hueco Mundo and capture of Harribel, Sung-Sun, Apacci, and Mila Rose appear at the camp of the Jagdarmee as the unit's leader, Quilge Opie, is selecting Arrancar to abduct. When Quilge speaks negatively about Harribel, Apacci attacks the group, killing two of them. Berating her for overdoing it, Mila Rose tells her to calm down as Apacci angrily responds to Quilge's inquiry about their identity. Apacci and Mila Rose get into an argument, leaving Sung-Sun to go challenge the Jagdarmee and Quilge alone, calling her comrades "primates", prompting Apacci and Mila Rose to retaliate by insulting her as well. As Nel Tu informs Ichigo Kurosaki the three of them are the due to their fearsome nature, Apacci, sneezing, asks Mila Rose if she is talking about her as they fight off their opponents. When Quilge offers them the chance to give up so they can work with Harribel, Apacci punches a nearby rock in anger as they advise Quilge not to underestimate them. When Ichigo arrives on the scene, Apacci and her comrades have been defeated by Quilge.

Regaining consciousness while Ichigo is fighting Quilge, Apacci, Mila Rose, and Sung-Sun summon Ayon, who attacks Quilge, catching him off guard, while he is explaining Quincy: Vollständig to Ichigo. Telling Quilge he is still fighting them, Apacci, Mila Rose, and Sung-Sun command Ayon to attack him. When Ayon looks towards its creators, Apacci, insisting it attack and not care about them, explains to Ichigo and his friends how he was created and advises them to run if they want to ensure their own survival. With her allies, she, watching Ayon brutalize Quilge, commends him for remaining in one piece despite the beating. As she boasts, Quilge stabs her through the chest, leaving her to fall to her knees as blood spurts from her wound. After witnessing Quilge absorb Ayon with Sklaverei, Mila Rose and Sung-Sun grab the unconscious Apacci and flee to Yasutora Sado and Orihime Inoue's location.

Fake Karakura Town arc (Bleach Official Character Book 3 UNMASKED)
The material world transfer which was performed by Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi switched Karakura Town in Soul Society with the fake Karakura Town, and when this happened, the Arrancar who had passed out with deep wounds were transferred to Soul Society. Having came from Hueco Mundo to Soul Society through a Garganta with Rukia Kuchiki to meet up with Ichigo Kurosaki after he finished his battle against Sōsuke Aizen, Orihime Inoue was led by Apacci and began healing their wounds. After returning to Hueco Mundo via Garganta, Harribel and her Fracción looked upon the destruction which came from the various battles which took place. The Arrancar were greeted by Kukkapūro, the Hollow dog, whom they recognized as Yammy Llargo's companion. Feeling what was left of Yammy's Reiatsu, Harribel and the others determined the powerful Espada fought with all his might before dying. They realized the Adjuchas Hollows had detected their presence and would arrive shortly, for they were now able to approach Las Noches due to the absence of the powerful Espada. All four understood it would not be long before the fighting normal to the Hollows of Hueco Mundo would begin again. Harribel became distressed at the concept, for preventing it was her reasoning for joining Aizen, but now it would return, and she could not stop it from happening. Cyan Sung-Sun suggested now that Baraggan Louisenbairn was dead and Aizen was gone, she should rule Hueco Mundo in their place. Franceska Mila Rose and Apacci agreed it would be the best course of action, but Harribel disagreed, stating a fake sun could not bring light to the darkness of Hueco Mundo, and all which is truly needed is the silent darkness. Harribel began to make her way toward Las Noches, with her loyal Fracción following behind.

Censorship
In the manga, Sung-Sun, Mila Rose, and Apacci summon Ayon by tearing off their left arms. In the anime, they simply hold out their left arms, which fire a red beam which becomes Ayon, but later they do not have their left arms, and they have red auras covering their arms.

Trivia

 * Apacci's name comes from Emilio Pucci, an Italian fashion designer and politician.

Quotes

 * (To Tōshirō Hitsugaya) "Damn you! How dare you point a sword at Harribel?!"


 * (To Momo Hinamori) "And from the looks of it, you're a Lieutenant. Two Lieutenants, huh. Still might as well be three-on-one."


 * (To Quilge Opie) "You've got the nerve to badmouth Harribel, yet you don't even know who we are?! I guess you're ignorant as well as worthless!!"
