## **History (Bleach Manga)**

After Bambietta Basterbine kills a Wandenreich soldier, Candice, Liltotto, Meninas, and Giselle enter her room, with Candice saying they should do something about Bambietta killing attractive men when she is annoyed. When Giselle states Candice likes to have "fun" with her subordinates, Candice says she never said this and asks Giselle if she wants to fight before being interrupted by Bambietta blasting a hole in the wall. When Bambietta asks them to remain quiet because she is worried about something, Candice asks her what she is worried about, prompting Bambietta to state she is worried about the future of the Wandenreich.

Later, after the Wandenreich invades the Seireitei once more, Candice expresses surprise when the wings of her **Quincy: ndig** emerge by themselves. When Giselle states she will not activate her **Vollständig** because it tires her, Candice angrily says she didn't want to use hers either. After Bambietta is defeated by Captain Sajin Komamura, Candice and the other three members of her group approach the defeated Bambietta. She and the others later confront 11th Division Captain Kenpachi Zaraki after he defeats Gremmy Thoumeaux. Blasting the low-ranking Shinigami in the vicinity, she notes how convenient it was to have them all gathered in one place.

As Candice prepares to attack the Shinigami again, Kenpachi attacks her, but Candice dodges before electrocuting him. After blasting Kenpachi with more lightning, Candice discusses how they should kill him with Liltotto, Meninas, and Giselle before being startled by an explosion in the air above them. As Candice and the others feel the Reiatsu of the individual falling from the sky, they turn around and look above, with Candice wondering who is coming down. She and the others watch as the individual smashes through a tower, leaving Candice and the others dumbstruck, but then are surprised when Ichigo Kurosaki appears behind them, leaving Candice and the others even more surprised.

Candice attacks Ichigo while the latter is talking to Kenpachi, but Ichigo merely throws her into a building before doing the same to Liltotto, Meninas, and Giselle. While her comrades discuss Ichigo's position as a **Special War Power**, an enraged Candice proclaims she will never forgive Ichigo for ruining her appearance and summons her bow before using **Galvano Blast**, which hits Ichigo with 5 gigajoules of electricity. However, Ichigo withstands the attack and notes he will not have as much trouble fighting the girls as he thought he would before preparing to engage in combat with them.

When the girls' **Heilig Pfeil** fail to harm Ichigo, sending them all crashing into Candice with a powerful explosion, an enraged Candice claims the others did this on purpose and promises to kill all of them. Candice activates her **Quincy: Vollständig**, which surprises the others, and notes that Yhwach will grant all of her wishes if she kills Ichigo. Rushing toward Ichigo, Candice forms two lightning bolt-shaped blades and clashes with him, prompting Ichigo to note they are perfectly matched with two swords each. However, Candice reveals she actually has six swords and knocks Ichigo back before throwing her **Galvano Javelin** at him. When Ichigo counters with a **Getsuga Tenshō**, Candice charges up with electricity and unleashes **Electrocution**, prompting Ichigo to fire a **Getsuga Jūjishō**.

Seeing the oncoming blast, Candice attempts to counter it with a physical attack. She succeeds in doing so, but loses an arm in the process. After having Giselle regenerate her arm with **The Zombie**, Candice prepares to attack once more, only to be pierced by **Burner Finger 1** from Bazz-B. After PePe Waccabrada, NaNaNa Najahkoop, and Robert Accutrone show up, Candice gets to her feet and prepares to fight Ichigo 8-on-1. Soon afterward, Candice watches as several more Shinigami confront the Sternritter. After the other Sternritter activate their **Quincy: Vollständig**, Candice rushes toward the Shinigami alongside them. 6th Division Captain Byakuya Kuchiki soon defeats her.

However, she has a great animosity towards Bambietta Basterbine, this was due actions in her first life with Bambietta arrogance and probably envy because the latter was stronger than her. She even showed no remorse in allowing Giselle killing Bambietta.
