Nikita Deslock (ニキータ・デスロック, Nikīta Desurokku) was a Quincy and a member of Yhwach's original Schutzstaffel 1,000 years ago.

Appearance

Nikita was a thin woman of medium height with long blonde hair, tied up in a ponytail at the back and covering her left eye with thick bangs while transitioning to aquamarine on the tufts framing her face. She wore a form-fitting white jacket with two downward-facing gray arrows over each breast and hip, as well as aquamarine stripes running along the top of her sleeves, fastened at the neck with a red ribbon and at the waist with a black belt sporting a plain metal buckle, as well as white gloves reaching the middle of her forearms, tight black pants, and white heeled boots, each bearing two aquamarine stripes on the front and two downward-facing gray arrows at the top.

Personality

Nikita was a stoic individual, who showed no emotion when executing her targets, even if they are non-combatants. Amongst the original Schutzstaffel, Nikita reacted the quickest when the negotiations between Yhwach and Ichibe'e Hyōsube went badly, immediatly opening fire on the Royal Guard leader without hesitation.

History

She aided the other members of the Schutzstaffel when they attacked Bazz-B's mansion, killing several soldiers and Bazz-B's mother. She later appeared with the other Schutzstaffel members on horseback when they began recruiting people to join the Sternritter, cocking her gun when Bazz-B threatened them.

Nikita attempts to shoot Ichibe'e.

When Ichibe'e Hyōsube came to the world of the living to negotiate with Yhwach, all members of the Schutzstaffel were present for the meeting. When Ichibe'e began to show Yhwach the true origins of the world, Nikita attempted to interrupt by shooting at Ichibe'e; however, Ichibe'e reflected her bullets back, forcing Algora Lallau to shield her from the counterattack.

During the Lichtreich's failed invasion of Soul Society, Nikita was killed in battle alongside the rest of the Schutzstaffel.

Powers and Abilities

Reishi Manipulation: As a Quincy, Nikita primarily absorbs Reishi from the atmosphere and combined it with her own Reiryoku to form weapons. She has an easier time collecting this energy in environments with higher concentrations of Reishi such as in Soul Society or Hueco Mundo.

Spirit Weapon

Nikita shoots down soldiers with her Reishi Rifle.

Reishi Rifle: Using her abilities as a Quincy, Nikita could concentrate both spirit energy and particles in order to transform them into weapons. Her favorite weapon manifested in the form of a powerful rifle, with a bayonet attached, which could produce a muzzle flash similar in shape to the Wandenreich's five-pointed cross emblem.

• Heilig Pfeil (神聖滅矢 (ハイリッヒ・プファイル), Hairihhi Pufairu; German for "Holy Arrow", Japanese for "Sacred Destruction Arrows"): Nikita could also fire a barrage of bullet-shaped Heilig Pfeil from her rifle within a few seconds.
