Harribel's three subordinates tried desperately to hold him off, but failed, while Harribel fared little better, trying desperately to save them but failing to even injure the Arrancar. He quickly overpowered the group, even Harribel, with ease. The group was later attacked by Hammerhead again, who had been turned into an Arrancar by Sosuke Aizen. One of his subordinates, a Hammerhead Adjuchas, arrogantly declared that Harribel had no choice but to serve Baraggan and touched her shoulder, prompty an unimpressed Harribel to slash him across the face and leave with her group. Harribel was constantly bothered by Baraggan Luisenbarn, the "God-King" of Hueco Mundo, who wanted her to join his army or "go to a place where he cannot see ", adding, laughingly, that he sees everything in Hueco Mundo and declaring that he was omnipotent. She later rescued a deer-like Adjuchas, Apacci Emilou, from being eaten by another Hollow and convinced her to join the group. Due to the scarcity of female Hollows, she teamed up with Adjuchas Franceska Mila Rose and Cyan Sung-Sun to increase their chances of survival. She would not hesitate to sacrifice herself to protect her Fraccion, and they have the same amount of devotion towards her.īefore she became an Espada, Harribel was a Vasto Lorde, the strongest level of Hollow. Harribel also takes her Aspect of Death, Sacrifice, very seriously, developing a personal philosophy revolving around it even before she became an Espada. She is also very polite towards those whom she respects and/or cares about, though even when angry at someone or when in the presence of someone she dislikes or hates, she refrains from cursing and keeps her language formal and sophisticated, though her voice can take on a rather menacing edge that many people find intimidating. Harribel is brutally honest, having no problem with stating her mind. Unlike most of her comrades, Harribel does care for her Fraccion, being something of a mother figure towards them. However, she can be aggressive and brutal on occasion, especially when those whom she cares about are threatened or harmed in any way. She strongly opposes the notion of killing others, especially if done to gain power. In contrast to the majority of her fellow Espada (and Arrancar in general), Harribel is calm, taciturn, level-headed, and analytical, preferring not to engage in combat she is content with silently observing both parties until the fighting reaches its conclusion, and refuses to fight unless she or her Fraccion are challenged or ordered by her superiors (excluding Baraggan Luisenbarn, which is unsurprising, given their history). Her hair and eyes were, however, exposed.
Her appearance as a Hollow, specifically a Vasto Lorde, mostly resembled her released state, but most of her body and face was covered by white hollow-bones and her weapon was part of her arm. The location of her Hollow hole is in her lower abdomen where her womb would be, making it unseen. Her Espada tattoo is located on the left side of her right breast. To date, she has one of the most intact mask of any Arrancar (though the mask is removed upon her Zanpakuto's release). The remnants of her Hollow mask cover her entire face below her eyes, as well as an extensive area below and around her neck extending down to, and also covering, her nipples she usually hides these remnants from view with her jacket. The sword itself is rather broad and short compared to others, completely hollow in the middle, and has a western-style guard. Harribel carries her Zanpakuto on her back, similar to Sui-Feng. The jacket's sleeves completely cover her arms, ending in black glove-like extensions, resembling the appearance of a cat's paw. The jacket has a zipper running along its entire length that is opened from the bottom upwards. She wears a variation of the Arrancar jacket with a high collar that covers the lower part of her face downward, while baring a good portion of the lower half of her breasts. Harribel is a buxom, beautiful woman with dark skin, green eyes, blonde eyelashes, and messy short blonde hair with three braided locks.
