Tier Harribel/Expanded Universe

is an Arrancar and the former Tres (3rd) Espada in Sōsuke Aizen's army until the latter's defeat. Sometime after Aizen's defeat, she becomes the de facto ruler of Hueco Mundo. Eventally, Harribel shared her status as ruler with fellow (3rd) Espada Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck.

Fake Karakura Town arc (Bleach Official Character Book 3 UNMASKED)
When Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi switched the real Karakura Town back to the Human World and brought the fake Karakura Town to Soul Society, the Arrancar who had passed out with deep wounds were transferred to Soul Society. Having come 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 Emilou Apacci and began healing their wounds. On Harribel's body, there were two deep wounds; one was a deep, straight cut, which went straight through the side of her chest, made by Aizen's Zanpakutō, Kyōka Suigetsu, and the other cut went from her back to her womb. The wounds could have lead to death, and no one besides Orihime possessed the ability to save the fallen Espada. 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.

Bleach: Can't Fear Your Own World
Shortly after Yhwach's final defeat at the hands of Ichigo Kurosaki, Harribel is rescued from her prison inside the Wahrwelt by fellow Espada Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck and Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez. As the three Arrancar try to leave 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. while Grimmjow and Nelliel argue, Harribel interrupts them by asking Ichibē if the "thing" enshrined behind them is what they call the Soul King, the core of Soul Society. When Ichibē confirms this, he asks her if she is able to tolerate such an existence. Harribel refuses to answer, however, saying only that she understands Sōsuke Aizen's motivations now. After parting words with Shunsui, the three Arrancar depart back to Hueco Mundo.

Six months after the Quincy Blood War, Harribel, together with Nelliel 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.

Powers & Abilities
Immense Spiritual Power:

Water Manipulation: Harribel's primary ability is the creation and manipulation of water.

Zanpakutō

 * In its sealed state, Harribel's Zanpakutō, while not particularly long, is unusually wide, and has the distinction of being completely hollow in the middle, essentially consisting of nothing more than the edges of what would otherwise be a normal sword. Its handle is purple, and its guard is as wide as its blade, with three small holes on either end, which Harribel uses to unsheathe it. The sword is longer than its sheath, and is worn horizontally on her upper back.


 * Resurrección: Its release command is . Holding her Zanpakutō in front of her with the blade pointing down, Harribel, declaring the release command, is completely enveloped by a heart-shaped surge of water which closes around her to form a cocoon-like cyclone, which Harribel cuts herself out of. In this form, her clothes and Espada tattoo are gone. Her mask remnants become a collar, with extensions covering her nipples. She gains spaulders on her shoulders, which bear a resemblance to shark fins, and two ribbon-like protrusions on her back. A thin, spine-like structure forms on her stomach, spanning from her waist to the underside of her breasts. Harribel wears a mini-skirt consisting of bones surrounding a dark undergarment. She wears a pair of knee-length boots and elbow-length gloves. Her weapon takes the form of a broad pata, which resembles an elongated shark tooth, featuring an unusual hilt with a hand guard which completely covers her hand. The sword possesses gill markings along either side of the blade. Harribel loses her three braids, causing her hair to become messy, and gains two blue lightning bolt markings on both sides of her face.


 * Resurrección Special Ability: In this form, Harribel's natural abilities are enhanced.


 * Harribel launches a rushing surge of water at her enemy. The torrent of water is large enough to cover several town blocks.

Bleach: Brave Souls

 * Harribel is playable in Brave Souls in various appearances and different specials. In her Swimsuit form, her special is called, where she fires several missiles out of her water guns. She is also playable in her base Resurrección form, drawing from her role in Bleach: Can't Fear Your Own World; in this form, Harribel is a ranged character with the "Hollow Killer" ability and her special attack is , where she attacks with a torrent of water that inflicts immense damage.
 * A unique form for Harribel appears in Brave Souls to commemorate the inclusion of the Can't Fear Your Own World light novel. Designed by Tite Kubo, this appearance mirrors Ulquiorra's own Hōgyoku-enhanced power, transcending Resurrección.


 * Beyond Resurrección: A form transcending a Resurrección, that can be achieved by bonding with the Hōgyoku. In this form, Harribel remains unmasked as in her normal Resurrección, and the lightning bolt-shaped marks on her face gain an extra jagged section while moving closer to her eyes, which glow bright blue. Her hair turns completely white, with several long braids reaching to her knees at the back and two bangs framing her face. Harribel gains two black-and-white, jagged, rock-like, long and roughly triangular ornaments on her head, one on either side, angled toward each other, with an additional section on each extending outward from her head, resembling ears. Harribel loses most of her Resurrección armor and clothing, with her breasts and neck being covered by long strips of yellow Reiatsu, and her new armor is asymmetrical in appearance. Her left arm gains a black-and-gray gauntlet reaching from her wrist to her elbow, with the underside tapering off to the top of her arm in a slanted progression and with an additional small section on her tricep. It bears a medium-size gray-and-white, rock-like bracer resembling a crashing wave on her forearm and her fingernails are also visibly longer. Conversely, her right arm is fully armored in the same black-gray material, with a large pauldron on her shoulder consisting of black, gray, and white rock-like material extending the full length of her arm which also resembles a crashing wave whose points reach the middle of Harribel's head. Her hand disappears into her new sword, which resembles the shape of her standard Resurrección blade but is composed of yellow Reiatsu concentrated around a large, gray hilt floating around Harribel's wrist and three thick white arrows extending outward to form the body of the sword. Her upper back gains a gray, shark-like fin whose base wraps around to the underside of her arms on her chest, and a small inverted black-and-gray triangle lies underneath her breasts, with two curving black markings pointing toward it on either side of her abdomen. Her waist has three long and wide white-gray strips of fabric hanging off either side and her back, with a dorsal fin-like segment on her lower back keeping them attached. The strip of fabric on her back has a large flare of yellow Reiatsu on the end, giving it the appearance of a shark's tail. Harribel's left leg is fully armored in black-and-gray material. Her thigh bears three markings glowing with yellow Reiatsu that resemble the slats in her normal Resurrección sword. There are two dark gray bangles circling the base of her leg at the hip, her kneecap is adorned with a white-gray pauldron resembling the one on her left arm, and her calf bears a small gray wing with a curving membrane stretched between four limbs. Her right leg is less armored, with the gray-black material covering its length leaving the front of her thigh exposed, and has a single bangle circling the base at the hip, while another pauldron identical to the one on her left kneecap adorns her right. Her feet have gray-black material covering the top and tapering to a point around the middle of their length, but are otherwise bare, and have lengthened and sharpened nails. The Hōgyoku is bathed in yellow Reiatsu and floats in Harribel's widened Hollow hole at her pelvis, where her womb would be.
 * An ability where Harribel gathers Reiatsu into her sword, which turns into a whip, before slamming the ground with it and unleashing several geysers of water on her opponent, inflicting immense damage.
