Meninas McAllon

is a Quincy and a member of the Wandenreich's Sternritter with the designation "P" - "The Power".

Appearance
Meninas is a tall and well-endowed girl of slender build. She is light-skinned with long wavy pink hair and short bangs that frame her forehead and green eyes. Her attire is a variation of the Sternritter's typical white uniform, consisting of a frilled skirt, frilled gloves, frilled boots, leggings, a belt with a heart-shaped buckle, a large purple bow with a white Wandenreich symbol around her neck, and a white cap with gold trimmings, which features a black peak and the Wandenreich insignia emblazoned on its front, turned sideways.

Personality
Like other Sternritter members, Meninas is loyal to Yhwach and is willing to attack Ichigo Kurosaki to prevent him from reaching her leader and interfering with his plans. She finds PePe Waccabrada to be a disgusting man.

She holds a great deal of pride as a warrior, as she felt insulted when Rukia Kuchiki turned her back to go help her brother, but did not hesitate to strike her from behind. She can also be blissfully ignorant, as shown when she bid farewell to an unconscious Rukia, only to quickly realize that she couldn't hear her.

Minenas has also shown a sense of camaraderie with her fellow Sternritters, especially to the four she is close friends with. As shown where she went through the trouble of retrieving Candice after she was defeated and incapacitated by Byakuya Kuchiki and carried her to get to safety.

The Thousand-Year Blood War arc
Upon receiving the orders of Yhwach, Meninas and the other Sternritter gather at the Gate of the Sun before traveling to the Seireitei in order to participate in the conquest of Soul Society. There she engages Rukia Kuchiki in battle. When Rukia is distracted by Byakuya Kuchiki's defeat at the hands of Äs Nödt, Meninas uses the opening to critically wound and defeat Rukia. After the Soldat ravage the Seireitei, Meninas begins retreating into a Shadow alongside the rest of the Wandenreich. She bids Rukia farewell, though quickly realizes that the unconscious lieutenant cannot hear her anymore.

After Bambietta Basterbine kills a Wandenreich soldier, Meninas, Liltotto, Candice, and Giselle enter her room, with Meninas telling Bambietta she could have at least killed the man outside. Afterwards, Meninas attends a meeting with the other Sternritter, in the Wörtlicht hall of Silbern. Jugram Haschwalth informs them they have been ordered to defeat the captains whose Bankai they stole. Meninas then listens as Haschwalth explains that the order is to strike them down by crushing their hope.

Later, Meninas arrives for the second invasion, walking down with the other Sternritter after the Seireitei was replaced with the Wandereich city. Later, Meninas notes Bambietta is using her Quincy: Vollständig, prompting Liltotto to state Bambietta was already mad at them because they vanished. After Bambietta is defeated by Captain Sajin Komamura, Meninas along with the other three members of her group approach the defeated Sternritter.

She and the others later ambush 11th Division Captain Kenpachi Zaraki after he defeats Gremmy Thoumeaux. After punching Zaraki into the ground with tremendous force, Meninas crushes several unseated Shinigami with a large building, and soon after discusses how Zaraki should die with Candice, Liltotto, and Giselle before expressing surprise when an explosion occurs in the air above them.

As Meninas and the others feel the Reiatsu of the individual falling from the sky, they turn around and look above. She and the others watch as the individual smashes through a tower, leaving Meninas and the others dumbstruck and questioning how the individual went down with the tower, but are then surprised when Ichigo Kurosaki appears behind them. After Ichigo throws Candice into a building, Giselle, Liltotto, and Meninas attack him, but Ichigo dodges their attacks and throws them into buildings as well. Meninas wonders who Ichigo is, and is shocked when Liltotto notes he is a Special War Power. After Ichigo withstands Candice's Galvano Blast, Meninas summons her bow and prepares to fight him alongside the other Sternritter.

When Ichigo effortlessly repels the Heilig Pfeil of all four Sternritter, resulting in a powerful explosion, Meninas crashes into Giselle and Candice, followed by Liltotto. After moving away to avoid Candice's subsequent blast of electricity, Meninas states Ichigo gets on her nerves. Upon noticing Candice has activated her Quincy: Vollständig, Meninas notes they do not need to slaughter Ichigo just because he is annoying. However, when Candice points out how Yhwach will surely grant her wishes if she kills Ichigo, Meninas envisions expensive furnishings as her wish. Soon afterward, Bazz-B appears and pierces the four girls with Burner Finger 1. However, after PePe Waccabrada, NaNaNa Najahkoop, and Robert Accutrone arrive, Meninas gets up and prepares to fight Ichigo 8-on-1. After Ichigo learns of Yhwach's plan, he attempts to intercept him, but Meninas drives him through several buildings before noting the Sternritter will not simply let him leave. Later, she looks on as several more Shinigami confront the Sternritter. Soon afterward, Meninas activates her Quincy: Vollständig and rushes toward the Shinigami alongside the other Sternritter, who have activated theirs as well.

6th Division Captain Byakuya Kuchiki quickly dispatches three of the Sternritter, leaving only Meninas and Liltotto standing. Meninas comments on how appropriate it is that only the two of them would prove strong enough to endure the battle and, hearing Liltotto wonder where PePe went, states PePe is disgusting. She then watches as Shūhei Hisagi, under PePe's influence, comes and attacks the captain. PePe then proceeds to take control of Meninas' emotions as well, making her enlarge her arm and hit Liltotto. Later, Giselle asks Liltotto what happened to Meninas, and Liltotto responds that she dealt with her, although she shouldn't be dead. Shortly afterwards, Meninas carries an exhausted Candice across the battlefield when they are hit by Yhwach's Auswählen.
