Charlotte Chuhlhourne

is the 20th Arrancar in Sōsuke Aizen's army and one of Baraggan Louisenbairn's six Fracción.

Appearance
Charlotte Chuhlhourne 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. His Hollow mask is a small tiara with horns. His Arrancar outfit is customized with feminine motifs. He also has a large amount of pubic hair when not released.

Personality
Chuhlhourne believes that 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." Like his fellow Fracción, he holds his master, Baraggan, in high regard and refers to him as "his majesty." Chuhlhourne has the odd habit of giving his attacks very long names (at one point in the anime, he actually bites his tongue in an attempt to announce one due to its length), believing himself to be talented at naming things. He holds his hair in great regard, only releasing his Zanpakutō when Yumichika ruined it. Despite this, just before his death, he shows respect toward Yumichika for hiding his Zanpakutō's true power even though he was cornered during his fight, something that Baraggan's other five Fracción never gave to their respective opponents.

Fake Karakura Town arc
He first appears along with Baraggan and the rest of his Fracción in the fake Karakura Town to do battle with the Gotei 13. However, once Aizen, Ichimaru, and Tōsen are trapped in Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's Shikai, Baraggan himself decides to give all orders. Chuhlhourne and the rest of Baraggan's Fracción then pull out a throne for him to sit upon.

After discovering the four pillars that keep the real Karakura Town in Soul Society, Baraggan sends four members of his Fracción to each different pillar to destroy them, stating that if they are going to guard them using ants then he'll just have to send dragons to crush them. He is sent to battle Yumichika Ayasegawa.

They start their fight by calling each other ugly and fight hard over it. Eventually they agree that the one who loses will be the ugly one. They then exchange blow after blow with no one gaining an upper hand. In the manga, Charlotte breaks Yumichika's arm in three places after a downward slash with his Zanpakutō. However, in the anime, he broke Yumichika's arm by punching it.

Eventually the Shinigami goads Charlotte to the point where he releases his Zanpakutō. As he is being pushed back, Yumichika releases his Zanpakutō in an attempt to gain the upper hand but is unable to do so. The Shinigami is eventually caught and Charlotte uses his strongest move, "Rosa Blanca".

Charlotte explains that Rosa Blanca surrounds them and that no one can see them or feel their spiritual power. Yumichika asks Charlotte to confirm this, to which Charlotte confirms again. Thanking Charlotte, Yumichika then releases his Zanpakutō's true Shikai and traps the Arrancar in its unbreakable ability. Charlotte wonders what's happening and Yumichika explains that the flowers growing from the vines are using Charlotte's spiritual power as food and that upon blooming, the Arrancar will die. Charlotte screams in frustration and falls. Charlotte still alive, asks if that was a Bankai but Yumichika corrects him by stating that it was his Zanpakutō's true power. Yumichika also explains that no one can ever see his Zanpakutō's true nature because of the squad he is in and their attitude to those with Kidō-type Zanpakutō. He says that if Charlotte hadn't used Rosa Blanca, then Yumichika would have never used his full power even if it meant losing (and dying). Chuhlhourne says that he respects that kind of action, then he dies.

Powers & Abilities
Enhanced Strength: He has great physical strength; he broke Yumichika's arm in three places with just a downward slash of his Zanpakutō. In the anime, he broke it with a single punch.


 * His special unreleased attack. He leaps into the air and then rolls rapidly. It is quite powerful as when it hits his opponent, and sends them crashing down.


 * Chuhlhourne rolls backward onto the pillar and kicks himself off, spinning while announcing the attack's name, and finally culminating with a single horizontal slash with his sword.

Zanpakutō
. When unreleased, it is a large katana with a purple hand and sheath and hilt shaped like a flower with holes in the petals.


 * Resurrección: It is released by the command: . Charlotte holds out his sword in front of him and calls out the command phrase, which releases a cloud of smoke while his blade glows violet and he continues the transformation in a manner not unlike that of a classic "magical girl" transformation scene. The transformation ends in a large burst of violet spiritual energy. In his new released form, Charlotte is dressed in a white crop top with extended wing-like shoulder pads with a short pink cape attached to the back. He has white underwear with extended wings at the hips with a pink flowing mini skirt. He has large white disk-like bracelets on his ankles and wrists and he wears heeled shoes. He completes the outfit with a tiara with horns. He calls himself a 'princess' in this form.


 * Resurrección Special Ability:


 * He puts his hands in a heart shape and fires an extremely wide, violet Cero which is very difficult to avoid, but Yumichika noted that besides its range, it is not much more than an average Cero.


 * Chuhlhourne clasps his hands together over his head and slams them into his target. Chuhlhourne bit his tongue when he said the word "domestic" in the name, which he claims halved the attack's power.


 * Enhanced Speed: His speed increases greatly upon his release.


 * Enhanced Strength: His strength also increases greatly upon his release.


 * This technique surrounds an area within a massive, dark, thorny bush, from which a large white rose blooms at the very-top of its interior. The bush not only cuts off Cuulhourne and his opponent from view, but also masks their reiatsu, essentially cutting them off from the rest of the world.

Appearances in Other Media
Charlotte makes his first and only video game debut so far in Bleach: Soul Carnival 2. He can be unlocked as a support character by finding him and Yumichika in the Fake Karakura Town, though their battle is not actually shown.

Trivia

 * The English Dub changes the name of Charlotte's Cero, naming it, "Beautiful Charlotte Chuhlhourne's Delicious Avaricious Superstitious Surreptitious Expeditious Ceremonious Felonious Glorious Laborious Sexy Sexy Glamorous Cero".

Quotes

 * (To Yumichika Ayasegawa) "How can you look at a perfect stranger and call them ugly!? Listen! You know what's really ugly? Judging people by their appearances. That's right. Like your heart."


 * (To Yumichika Ayasegawa) "You're the one who was screaming about breaking my nose!! That emphasis on physical damage is really pissing me off, you ugly whore!"


 * (To Yumichika Ayasegawa) "You just keep on shouting "ugly, ugly", over and over again. Well, it's always the ugly ones who call other people ugly!"


 * (To Yumichika Ayasegawa) "One so hideous as yourself is incapable of even comprehending this beauty upon seeing it. Yes, that makes sense. Very well. I understand. You are forgiven. It is no sin to have no appreciation for beauty. In fact, I find myself beginning to pity you."


 * (To Yumichika Ayasegawa) "It must be terrible for you, having to live with such dulled senses. As such, to put an end to this suffering that is your life is a fitting task for the one more beautiful than any other, that is, myself."


 * (To Yumichika Ayasegawa) "A princess always gets her way. If I say that it is over, then it is over."


 * (To Yumichika Ayasegawa) "Not a single soul will stand witness to the moment your life comes to its end. There is no crueler demise for one who values beauty above all, do you not think?"
