Gueparde
From Inga no Kusari wiki
Gueparde is Torres Ciel Laubena's resurrección.
Torres' blade is a fine katana held within a purple sheathe. It is embroidered with a cross stitch of violet and pink along the grip while the tsuka is an off shape that seems to be 3 overlapping circles. And finally three tassels hang from its end each a distinct color, one violet, one pink and one white.

Resurrección
Release Command: Dash, Gueparde!
She calls out the command "Dash, Gueparde!" She then unsheathes her blade and tosses it in straight line ahead of her. It quickly dissolves and Torres begins to glow a bright violet before exploding in a radiant light.
Small cheetah-esque ears form atop her head and her hair becomes slightly longer and out of her face showing her full complexion. While full mask plate above her eyebrows stretches across her forehead looking much like the brow of a feral creature.
Her outfit changes from a dress to a two piece set. A short shirt fits over her small figure showing much of her belly with small shorts to match. These pieces of clothing are filled with purple cheetah spots but the clothing itself is white. Her boots start at the knee and end in paw-like shapes at the feet. The same fashion goes for her arms as well. And to finish it all off she's grown a long white and purple spotted tail, elegant and quite sturdy.
Resurrección Abilities
Minor: Torres is granted a highly adept speed with her Resurreccion Gueparde. She's able to move a full tier faster while under the influence of her Resurreccion and her arms and hands gain dexterity and nimbleness as well. She is able to quickly lash them out with tremendous speed, hitting a target multiple times over in a matter of seconds. Though this speed does not translate to strength, many hits in one location can add upon the pain.
Punto (Polka Dot)
This ability is Gueparde's main and only true ability. Utilizing Torres' unique reiatsu signature and fast hands, Torres is able to touch her opponents swiftly and upon doing so dispersing a small portion of her spiritual energy upon their skin, clothing, or whatever she happens to touch. The initial touch leaves a violet polka dot in that exact location (Around an inch in diameter). Each consecutive touch afterwords leaves a black polka dot in its wake. These dots add up for a final cumulative effect.
After the initial violet polka dot, a time limit is set before the fireworks begin. So speed is of the essence. With her Resurreccion, Torres' legs and arms move considerably faster and the more dots she places upon your body the stronger the final outcome will be. The timer is set at precisely 15 seconds. Within that time limit, Torres' best record for placing dots levels off at 116 total. Which is quite deadly considering the after effects of this technique.
When the timer is up the purple dot will glow and by gathering the remaining dots to its location it forms one single mass. The result of the countdown is an explosion triggered by a disturbance in the ambient reishi and the reiatsu of the victim mixed with Torres' own deadly reiatsu. The explosion can be powerful enough to blow a fine hole in a building or practically destroy metal. It is a concentrated explosion and it will only explode upon the exact area of the circle with a fine precision (much like a hole punch). Each polka dot adds a total of 1/8th of an inch to the already 1 inch diameter of the violet "Punto". Meaning the bigger the diameter the more damage to be done.
NOTE: The polka dots reach through up to 2 layers of thick clothing and they ignore thin clothing such as fishnet shirts and similar skimpy clothing.
NOTE 2: These Polka Dots are not limited to any particular surface and will even stick to spiritual weapons such as Zanpakutō.
Final Note: The Power of this technique is equal to the average of all of Torres' tiers + 1. (i.e. 2 x 2 / 2 = 2 + 1 = 3)
Strengths
The speed granted by this ability is a great compensation for loss of her Zanpakutō, allowing her to fully utilize the potential of Punto. A concentrated explosion can be many more times deadlier than your average explosion, making Punto a deadly assassination technique.
Weaknesses
The Resurreccion leaves her without means to defend herself besides her hand to hand combat which she lacks with such a frail body. Thus she has to rely more on her speed to survive. Of course there are always the stronger opponents who can stand up to the assault with their much elevated reiatsu. More powerful opponents will come out of this with certainly less damage.
