Appearance
Amaranta has very attractive, almost delicate features portraying her as a woman of innocence and kindness. She has long, smooth, black hair that reaches near her lower back. Her bangs reach just below her eyebrows and touch the tips of her beautiful eyes. These eyes are the shade of violet and her irises create this intricate pattern of lines giving her eyes the appearance of shattering glass. The skin on her face is smooth and unblemished as is the rest of her thin body. The body is of course not too thin but it has that supermodel quality and allows her to stand at a height of approximately 5'10" and give her a light weight of about 124 lbs. As for her outfit it is designed in the fashion of a traditional Japanese school girl with that sailor like flair although the coloring is predominately white with black accenting lines. Finally on her face lies twin mask fragments, each in the shape of a white fang and they lie right below her eyes like tears and her hollow hole is on her chest where her heart should be.
Personality
Amaranta is a troubled girl. She is shown most often in stages of depression, often with a feeling of gloom and sadness surrounding her. It's as almost as if every sad thought, terrible event, traumatic experience, and every death that one has experienced floats around her like angry spirits tormenting an innocent soul. Thus she is often teary eyed, unresponsive, and generally a bad source of conversation.
Inversely, Amaranta has extreme episodes of pure anger and violence, making her bipolar. One moment someone might see her babbling to herself and shying away as her inner demons torture her, and the next she'll be screaming at the top of her lungs, drawing her blade and attacking at anything that moves. Her language is foul and her temper explosive. It is best to avoid Amaranta during these days for she may try to take your head off.
History
Amaranta Tristeza was not born with this name, but instead a cute lovable Japanese one. She has since disposed of this name and subsequently forgotten it. But she was born in Japan, a town known as Hiroshima. Her parents lived in the city and as such she grew up in a rather stable environment. She didn't have to worry about money because her parents always made enough and they always had time to buy her the nicest clothes and the best stuff on the market.
Going to school, Amaranta was always the most popular, everyone wanted to be her or be friends with her. She was liked by everyone and anyone who didn't was instantly shunned by her large following. It was clear that this girl was going to be someone famous. One day after escaping her entourage, which she had grown quite bored of over the few years she had been attending grade school, she ran into a boy, alone and sad. She had thought that he would instantly spring up and attempt to make friends with her but he didn't. In fact it seemed that this boy knew nothing about him. However Amaranta was a kind girl and she lowered herself down, looked at the boy and told him a simple phrase, "Smile, it looks good on you." The boy who had been depressed, looked up, gave a very wide grin, and they both dissolved into laughter. Amaranta was right though, the boy was cute when he smiled.
Jumping ahead a few years, Amaranta was soon to be leaving school and moving on to University. She had remained friends with the boy well into their final years and eventually he gained the confidence to ask her out, which she had instantly said yes too. They dated for quite some time and she was utterly in love. However near the time of her 18th birthday, Japan had bombed Pearl Harbor and had thrown her country into a brutal World War. She feared for her love but swore to never stop loving.
Jumping ahead once more to August of 1945, Amaranta's boyfriend had taken her to see something amazing. It was to be found out, a cherry blossom on the side of the road near a school. It was the place they had first met and a smile brushed her face. That's when he had asked her to marry him. Shocked, Amaranta burst into tears of joy, said yes and gave him the biggest kiss of their lives. The last kiss of their lives. For at that time a large, destructive Atomic Bomb was dropped on the city and Amaranta's life was wiped away in the flash of an instant.
When she awoke she stood before a desolate wasteland. Spirits roamed the area but her love was not there to be found. Amaranta began to become very sad, searching for her love for hours. She grew angry at the men who had destroyed her life, and in this rage she broke away from whatever was keeping her bound. She grew rampant and tore through the streets devouring what little sad souls she could find. Before, as all hollows do, she finally created a Garganta and escaped to Hueco Mundo.
In this new landscape her body took on the form of some wolf like creature. Her too she would eat and devour, and consume all things until she found the one she sought. When she grew tired, she would look up into the sky and give a wolf like wail of sadness. Her sound the epitome of heart wrenching pain. As time flew by Amaranta continued to evolve until one day, one final day, she tore away at the mask that contained her face, tore away at the pain and the sadness, and the pit of boiling anger. She became what she is now, an Arrancar. Her body took on the form it once was in the past except for a few key changes. She now had a hole where her heart should be and on her face just below her eyes where two white fangs made out of her original mask to remind her of her eternal sadness and wolf like rage. Not only did the mask remain a reminder, but so too did some thoughts that ran through her mind. These thoughts manifested as 'spirits' in her mind one constantly reminding her what it means to be sad, the other occasional poisoning her brain with thoughts of rage and violence. It is a constant war and struggle inside her mind, one that doesn't look like it will ever end.
Combat
Strengths
During her sudden fits of rage, Amaranta has an adrenaline fueled strength. People tend to underestimate her because she appears to be an innocent, troubled girl which she sometimes is, however it would be a mistake to treat her this way when she is angry. Her thin frame and woman like body allow for a natural speed and flexibility some stronger males may not have.
Weaknesses
With a small body comes the natural weakness of not being as strong as big, burly men. Her bipolar disorder will cause her to shift dramatically and will impede her fighting skills if she suddenly becomes depressed, or heighten them if she is angry. The spirits in her head can distract her from battle if the become quite belligerent. Finally Amaranta could easily be tossed around by people who happen to be bigger and stronger than she.
