Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck/Expanded Universe

is the former Tres (three) Espada. She was also known as when she was a small, good-natured, childlike Arrancar. Nelliel lives in Hueco Mundo where she co-rules the world alongside her fellow Espada, Tier Harribel.

Bleach: Can't Fear Your Own World
After rescuing Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez, Kisuke Urahara, Yoruichi Shihōin, and Yūshirō Shihōin from Askin Nakk Le Vaar's Gift Ball Deluxe, Nelliel and Grimmjow saved Tier Harribel from Yhwach's dungeon in the Wahrwelt. With Nelliel carrying Harribel while leaving the Soul King Palace, they encounter Shunsui Kyōraku and Ichibē Hyōsube who are in the middle of turning Yhwach's corpse into the new Soul King. Before Grimmjow could attack the Shinigami who are surrounding them, Nelliel uses her Bala to stop and remind Grimmjow that picking a fight now, right after the Quincy were defeated, would make them the next enemies for Shinigami. Grimmjow is not perturbed in the slightest, arguing that they just need to kill them all, but he finally relents after Ichibē assured them they would be free to leave, after emphasizing the importance of the balance of three worlds for the moment. Before returning to Hueco Mundo, Grimmjow then considers fighting Ichigo Kurosaki, but Nelliel once again reminds him that Ichigo is still heavily injured and Grimmjow wouldn't be satisfied fighting the weakened Substitute Shinigami.

Six months after the Quincy Blood War, Nelliel, together with Harribel and several other Arrancar who used to serve Aizen, are gradually bringing back peace to Hueco Mundo by defeating the remaining Quincy. However, their peace is interrupted when a child clad in Shihakusho named Hikone Ubuginu arrives in Hueco Mundo and attacks them in an attempt to conquer them.

This causes the treaty previously established with Soul Society to be brought into question. The situation is further worsened when Nel realizes and informs Harribel that Grimmjow has gone using Garganta. Nel at first assumes that Grimmjow might have grown impatient and decided to go to the Human World to fight Ichigo, but Harribel states that Grimmjow is not so reckless and his animal instinct compels him to protect his territory. They deduces that Grimmjow most likely went to Soul Society to search for Hikone. Wanting to prevent the possibility of war against the Soul Society, Nel and Harribel goes to Soul Society to bring back Grimmjow before it's too late.

By the time she and Harribel arrives at Rukongai, however, they are surprised to find not only Grimmjow, but Quincies, Fullbringers, and Shinji are gathering fighting against a gigantic Hollow with Vasto Lorde level Reiatsu called upon from Hikone's Zanpakuto. Before an all-out battle could occur, Hikone retreats under order from their master and Nanao Ise arrives, asking for their presence at the Shiba Residence as Shunsui wishes to speak with all of them. Once everyone is gathered, Shunsui explained that one of Soul Society's four great nobles, Tokinada Tsunayashiro, is the root of the recent attacks. Since Tokinada is a noble, even Gotei 13 can't carelessly arrest him without strong evidence. For this reason, Shunsui requests for their help in handling Tokinada and promises to repay them. Sensing Shunsui's sincerity, Nelliel and the others agree to his request.

Powers & Abilities
Immense Spiritual Power:

Bala: Nelliel is able to fire Bala blasts from her hands. She used one to discipline Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez when the other Espada tried to antagonize Shunsui Kyōraku and Ichibē Hyōsube. The attack was potent enough to cause pain to Grimmjow.


 * Nelliel's speciality allows her to to absorb an incoming Cero and fire one of her own while returning it. Nelliel can even absorb a Gran Rey Cero with this technique, although it did leave her winded and slightly injured.
