Reiatsu: When Desturora is in Shikai and Bankai her reiatsu power flashes constantly, the stronger she gets the more rapid the power surges up and down.

Her hair takes on a light caramel color that has four white streaks in it. It is styled to the right, her bangs moving up in slight curls while one large curl is pulled over her right shoulder and held in place in the back by a hair pin.
Desturora’s eyes are pupil-less and purple.
Personality: Desturora is a silent but dangerous Captain of the 13th squad, she doesn’t talk on a regular basis and keeps to herself most of the time. She is the most steadfast and resolute of her squad. She is known to ambitious, reserved, determined, relentless, practical and helpful. But Desturora is helpful in her own way which the ways she uses might seem a little unorthodox to many. She is determined to be an excellent leader and organizer, thanks to her focused, concentrated thought process and a responsible attitude.
Though she is a workaholic but is liable to be perceived as cold, detached, stern disciplinarians. She can be negative, suspicious, resentful, inhibited, pessimistic and obstinate, but she is not bad at heart. She is tender inside, and her hard exterior is designed well to help her stay guarded against the hurt and rejection, she so strongly despises.
She is modest, goal-oriented and tends to be aggressive about the tasks on hand. Besides, she is methodical and disciplined who has faith in her strengths and knows her weaknesses as well. She will not build castles in the air, if she set their eyes on something she tries her best to get it. Desturora seeks security, authority and growth, and will not shy away from trying out new things. She is very traditional and strong. She has a dynamic way of dealing with challenges when they appear.
Desturora has a strong sense of equality. She will not only demand respect, but will also treat others with due respect. She believes that everyone should get equal opportunities to build a secure future. But will not reveal this out in the open to anyone. She thinks profoundly, and applies her rationale and explores all pros and cons before deciding on anything. She will never make impulsive decisions just for the sake of excitement. Her security is too precious to risk it like that.
Lessons to give in love : Sincerity and ability to take on (and carry on) responsibilities and provide for material comforts. Also the fact that the love is, in other words, wisdom and stability.
Lessons to learn in love : Ability to loosen up; to give unconditionally and to be selfless in love.
History: Desturora came from Easter Island, a part of Chile in South America, where she belonged to the islands tribe until the age of 15. She was preset and held prisinor, like all of the other islanders , to their land. They were not allowed to leave or even fish, only allowed to stay on the land they owned. Her, her mother, and brother were all apart of this. When her family died of sickness, she snuck aboard a ship on it’s way to Chile and once in the country, fled, headed for North America where she could somehow be free. When she arrived, she traveled through Texas into Lousiana where she came upon a traveling circus.
There is where she found she had the ability to not only swallow swords but bend in many ways people couldn’t. After just a few months she became a regular at the shows as The Sword Swallowing Contortionist. Her show was called Desturora Destiny and attracted many when they had showings. She felt at home in the carnie family and loved it there. Though she was in The United States, she kept the markings from her tribe on her arms and chose her outfits to resemble her nationality.
Even back then, she was toned out and rather muscular as well as being a rather hard ass. She was stubborn then and it carried over to her afterlife.
She died in Mississippi during a shootout that took place in a local bar.
Once in the Soul Society she learnt things quickly and picked up on things but stayed alone. She never liked people very much so once in the academy she kept to herself and studied. Until she met Valvalis Lionheart, who she thought was an asshole at first but took a liking to and swore to defend him if he ever needed her.
She wasn’t placed with a squad until she achieved Bankai.
