~ Candice Catnipp to Ichigo Kurosaki. |
Candice Catnipp is a supporting antagonist of the anime/manga series Bleach. She's a member of the Wandenreich's Sternritter with the designation "T" - The Thunderbolt.
She is voiced by Yumi Uchiyama in Japanese and Shara Kirby (who also voiced Franceska Mila Rose in the same series) in English.
Appearance[]
Candice is a tall, beautiful woman with long light green hair, blue eyes, long eyelashes, and thin, lightning-shaped eyebrows. She wears the standard Sternritter uniform, except that it is extremely revealing, consisting of a small midriff two-piece jacket with a wide neckline and a pair of shorts with a belt with a green heart-shaped buckle on the side.
Personality[]
Candice is by far the most temperamental and angry of all the Bambies. She was furious with Bambietta for her habit of killing young male soldiers when she was annoyed or stressed, and was angry with Giselle for suggesting that Candice be lecherous towards subordinates. In addition, she cares a lot about her appearance, even confessing to waking up a few hours earlier than the other Sternritters just to make her hair look good, and she went into a complete rage when she not only ruined her hair during her fight with Ichigo, but also got her outfit dirty.
Due to her temperament, great impatience and usually terrible judgment, Candice often makes the least rational and risky decisions in a fight, especially when it comes to stronger opponents.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
- The Thunderbolt (雷霆 (ザ・サンダーボルト), Za Sandāboruto; Japanese for "Thunder"): Candice's Schrift lets her control and summon lightning-based Reishi, which can be used to deal effective damage powerful opponents. Her Schrift also lets her be able to move faster than lightning speed, allowing her to maneuver in ways for her to catch her opponents off guard.
- Reishi Manipulation: Much like her fellow Quincies, Candice is able to absorb and manipulate Reishi, converting it into her own form of weaponry.
- Great Spiritual Power: Candice possesses spiritual power comparable to that of a captain-level shinigami.
Abilities[]
- Barbarriel (神の雷霆 (バルバリエル), Barubarieru; Japanese for "Thunder of God"): Candice's Vollständig grants her green wings in the form of lightning bolts and enhances the abilities of her Schrift. She can now summon lightning-based weapons in the forms of swords and javelins.
- Sklaverei (聖隷 (スクラヴェライ), Sukuraverai; German for "Slavery", Japanese for "Holy Slave"): Much like her fellow Quincies, Candice can use Sklaverei to absorb Reishi around her and convert it into power that enhances the powers and abilities of her Vollständig.

Trivia[]
- Candice's eyes were originally colored green in the color page of chapter 581, but they were subsequently changed to blue in the color spread in chapter 640, and then finally back to green again in the anime.
- The color of Candice's lightning in the official digital colored manga is blue, but in Brave Souls it is green. The anime uses both colors, having her lighting be blue initially, but change to green upon activating her Vollständig.
- Considering her anger at Bambi killing "hot" boys, Candice likely draws the line at appearance for men; Gigi suggesting Candice sleeps with the boys from time to time.
