Charlotte Chuhlhourne

was the 20th Arrancar in Sōsuke Aizen's army and one of Baraggan Louisenbairn's six Fracción prior to being killed by Yumichika Ayasegawa and later resurrected by Mayuri Kurotsuchi.

Appearance
Charlotte is a large, bulky, and muscular Arrancar. His mannerisms and dress style border on those of a stereotypical drag queen. He has long, wavy purple hair, large glossy lips, icy blue eyes, and curly long eyelashes. While his Hollow hole is not visible, his Hollow mask remnants resemble a small tiara with horns, and his Arrancar outfit is customized with feminine motifs. He has a large amount of pubic hair when not released.

Personality
Charlotte believes beauty is derived from a person's heart and personality, leading the first part of his battle with Yumichika Ayasegawa to be little more than the two shouting insults at each other. He is very vain and flamboyant, believing himself to be the "most beautiful being in all creation", and refers to himself as "princess". Despite his initial childish and goofy attitude, he is more serious in battle. Like his fellow Fracción, he holds his master, Baraggan Louisenbairn, in high regard, referring to him as "his majesty". Charlotte has the odd habit of giving his attacks very long names, believing himself to be talented at naming things. He holds his hair in great regard, only releasing his Zanpakutō when Yumichika ruins it. Despite this, just before his death, he displays respect for Yumichika for hiding his Zanpakutō's true power despite being cornered during his fight.

Fake Karakura Town arc
Along with Baraggan Louisenbairn and the rest of his Fracción, Charlotte arrives in the fake Karakura Town to do battle with the Gotei 13. When Sōsuke Aizen, Gin Ichimaru, and Kaname Tōsen are trapped by Captain-Commander Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's Shikai, Baraggan, having Charlotte and the rest of his Fracción pull out a throne for him to sit upon, decides to take command.

After discovering the four pillars which keep the real Karakura Town in Soul Society and having four Hollows sent by Findorr Calius to destroy them killed, Baraggan sends a member of his Fracción, including Charlotte, to each pillar to destroy them, stating if they are going to guard them using "ants", he will just have to send "dragons" to crush them. Charlotte is sent to fight Yumichika Ayasegawa. Upon arriving, Charlotte, introducing himself, notices Yumichika is not looking at him. When he tries to get his attention, Yumichika states he does not look at ugly things, prompting Charlotte to slap him. When Yumichika demands to know what he is doing, Charlotte, asking him how he could look at a stranger and call them ugly, states judging people by appearances is ugly. When Yumichika continues to refuse to look at him, Charlotte, drawing his Zanpakutō, clashes with Yumichika, telling him to look at him because he was saying something important.

As the two continue to clash, they repeatedly tell each other to break. After Charlotte tells Yumichika to break like his heart and the two separate, Yumichika states this does not make any sense, prompting Charlotte to point out Yumichika had told him to break like his nose, which angers him. As they clash again, Charlotte tells Yumichika those who call other ugly are the actual ugly ones, leading Yumichika to point out how Charlotte had called him ugly three times already. Noting talking will not get them anywhere, Charlotte proclaims whoever dies is the ugly one. When Yumichika, agreeing with this, states this will allow him to prove he is more beautiful and powerful, Charlotte, stating him never shutting up makes him happy, decides to get serious. Performing an attack with an exceedingly long name, Charlotte, sending Yumichika crashing down into the trees below, wonders if he overdid it. After Yumichika reappears behind him, Charlotte, stating he is glad he is alright, proclaims he expects nothing less of his rival. When Yumichika states he does not care what someone with such a strange hairstyle thinks of him, Charlotte, realizing Yumichika cut off part of his hair, states he will not forgive him and releases his Zanpakutō, Reina de Rosas.

As Yumichika tries to restrain his laughter, Charlotte, going over the physical details of his Resurrección, tells Yumichika to stop laughing. Stating Yumichika is unable to comprehend his beauty, Charlotte says he will forgive him, for being unable to appreciate beauty is not a crime, but something to be pitied. Stating living like this is nothing short of agony, Charlotte proclaims he, as the most beautiful person in all of creation, must end Yumichika's life. Telling him to accept his killing blow, Charlotte fires a Cero with an exceedingly long name. As he and Yumichika continue to fight, Yumichika, stating it is not over, releases Fuji Kujaku. Stating it does not matter if he has more blades, Charlotte, headbutting Yumichika, holds him up by the throat and says since he is the princess, if he says it is over, it is over. As darkness covers them, a white flower forms above them. When Yumichika asks what this is, Charlotte, explaining the effect of Rosa Blanca, states no one will see Yumichika die. Thanking him, Yumichika releases Ruri'iro Kujaku. Vines constrict Charlotte, who asks what is happening. Explaining what Ruri'iro Kujaku does, Yumichika states he will die soon. As Charlotte screams, his Resurrección vanishes, and Rosa Blanca dissipates.

As Charlotte collapses, Yumichika, chewing on one of the flowers Ruri'iro Kujaku produced, thanks him and prepares to leave. Calling out to him, Charlotte, stating it is not fair for him to have been hiding something this amazing, asks if it is Bankai. Stating this is his Zanpakutō's "true name", which causes Charlotte to react in confusion, Yumichika explains how his Zanpakutō has a favorite and least favorite color, and how he generally says the color it does not like so it does not use its true power. When Charlotte asks why he would do this, Yumichika reveals the 11th Division has an unspoken rule regarding the Zanpakutō of its members which dictates all Zanpakutō must be a melee-type, so he does not want Ikkaku Madarame or his captain to see it. When he states he would not have released its true power if Charlotte had not hidden them, Charlotte asks if he would have refused to do so even if Yumichika had lost to him. When Yumichika confirms this, Charlotte states he is really something and dies.

The Thousand-Year Blood War arc
During the second Wandenreich invasion, a seemingly "resurrected" Charlotte is brought out by Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi to fight against Sternritter "Z", Giselle Gewelle, and the Shinigami zombie army she has amassed. Charlotte notices a wounded Yumichika lying nearby and states he forgot his name before proclaiming he cannot remember the names of ugly people. When Mayuri delivers an electric shock to the brains of the other Arrancar for talking too much, Charlotte states he is different, prompting Mayuri to electrocute him as well. When Giselle asks Mayuri if he believes he can win with only four zombies, Charlotte and the other Arrancar angrily proclaim they will not lose to Shinigami before rushing forward. As the other Arrancar begin slaughtering the Shinigami, Charlotte appears near Giselle and proclaims he has an instinct to fight her because she greatly resembles him. Enraged by this, Giselle has Bambietta Basterbine attack him, but Charlotte grabs her by the head and throws her into the building which Mayuri is standing on. When Bambietta emerges, Charlotte notes zombies will not die unless they are turned to dust before blasting Bambietta away with a Cero.
