Kurotshuchi Nemu

Rank: Vice-Captain
Zanpakutou info:

Description: It is not known if she even has a Zanpakutou, having been created by Kurotsuchi Mayuri, her direct Taicho and so-called father. Because she is also nearly constantly around him, she probably has no need to call one into combat either unless he commands her to.

Shi-Kai: None

Ban-Kai: None

Biography:
Nemu was created by Mayuri, from his own blood and other sources. Thus she is intensely loyal to him and feels only respect and affection for him even though he does not treat her as a person, or even his daughter, but more a slave. Despite her suffering she appears to be highly adept at demon arts, and is also immune to his poison created by his Zanpakutou, Ashisogi Jizou.

Nemu appears with Mayuri during the first day or so of the ryoka invasion, receiving a hell butterfly with an update on the situation. Informing Mayuri of the proceedings, she then follows him to the 4th Squad Medical Relief Station, where Mayuri tries to use force to get information out of Madarame Ikkaku about the ryoka. When Nemu tries to stop him from using his power, she is silenced and threatened. Madarame, seeing this, responds that he has no information whatsoever about the ryoka, risking his life. Mayuri is stopped in time by Zaraki Kenpachi and is forced to leave, bringing Nemu with him and telling her not to dawdle. As she leaves she gives an apologetic glance to Zaraki.

Nemu was also present at the Fukutaicho meeting regarding the situational update, but makes no comment. The next time she appears is when Mayuri fails to get both Ishida Uryuu and Inoue Orihime in a bomb trap. When Mayuri starts fighting with Ishida, Ishida deems that she is of no threat but is surprised when she tries to hold him down he attempts to shoot Mayuri after he releases his Zanpakutou. Despite that however, Mayuri slashes both of them together, and then proceeds to beat Nemu for letting go of Ishida and for asking him for life regeneration medicine, saying that she makes a fool out of him for making her so weak. Ishida manages to stop him from stabbing her on the spot.

After the fight, Nemu thanks Ishida for his actions and for not killing Mayuri, giving him the antidote to Mayuri’s poison. When Ishida asks why she could feel that way about someone like Mayuri, she answers that she does not understand it herself, but when she saw that Mayuri was still alive, she was a bit relieved.

Later Nemu’s is seen asking Mayuri after he revives in human form on the day of Rukia’s execution about Kotetsu Isane’s message. He answers that he has no interest, and so far, nothing else has been really seen of her.

Character:
The quintessential demure and petite lady, Nemu’s quiet disposition and her timid attitude can be directly attributed to Mayuri’s treatment. Despite this, she does have a sense of justice as evidenced by her trying to stop Mayuri from committing certain crimes if possible.
