Affinity #68 - The Wolf (Coyote Starrk)

One of the most B@d@$$ Espada in Aizen's Bunch is the #1 ~ Coyote Starrk. When first introduced, we saw him attend the Espada's meeting. However, he's also briefly seen with fraccion Lilynette Gingerbuck on the death of the 9th Espada. He makes his major appearance during the Fake Karakura Town Arc and is revealed to be the 1st Espada, stronger than Baraggan & Harribel. The biggest surprise is when it was revealed that Lilynette wasn't his subordinate, but rather a part of him ~ they are one person whose soul is divided into two. On the surface, the two are polar opposites. One's lazy, uninterested in the world's affairs, and prefers his time napping. The other likes to tease, get right in the middle of action, and is concerned about the world's affairs. When Starrk releases his Resurreccion, Lilynette becomes Starrk's gun. There's some comic relief thrown in their when Coyote was rubbing the butt of his gun (aka Lilynette's @$$cheeks). Their upbringing wasn't the best as everyone who came before them died. Starrk's aspect of Death is Loneliness (Solitude) and it pretty much shows in his character. He finally felt like he had someone to call family when he divided his soul and Lilynette was born. When meeting the other Espada, he no longer felt alone (still kept his lazy demeanor). Starrk is my favorite MALE Espada (Grimmjow is second) and I honestly felt pretty bad for his character. Given the aspect of Solitude is something you don't want to hold highly. Starrk & Lilynette eventually went out and together, they died knowing it wasn't so bad because of the friends they made.

I hope you enjoyed this week's Affinity. Look forward to Affinities on Tuesdays. Until then you all stay classy now.
