"FELIS MARGARITA" 
base for all verses, origins → end of Fake Karakura Arc Mielelambda is a naturally born lone Adjuchas-class Arrancar who's been roaming the vast dusty plains of Hueco Mundo for several hundreds of years before Aizen's arrival. Their sole purpose during this time is pure survival: not a very strong fighter in terms of direct battle, their arsenal consists of their ears, able to pick up even the faintest sounds from kilometers away, united with notable dexterity and speed.Thanks to their exceptional hearing allowing them to detect and subsequentially avoid stronger Hollows and Arrancars, Miele manages to live off small or dead prey while maintaining a good distance from both Baraggan's subjects and later Aizen's, at the cost of growing incredibly wary of his own kin and knowingly leading a purposeless existence by not aligning with anyone but themselves. They only live to survive another day, another hour, another minute. Loneliness is the price to pay for the highest chance of being alive for a little longer.Those who are lucky enough to catch a brief glimpse of the feline Arrancar among the white dunes, a presence as faint and transient as that of a mirage, tell stories of a small, ferocious creature that not even Baraggan's himself with his mist of Death could catch, and coin the name "Sand Cat" to refer to them.If Baraggan's rule was easy to avoid, Aizen and his army bring forth a whole new series of complications. Not only does Miele have to keep their presence as low-key as possible to avoid being recruited among the Números; new Arrancars appear, created through the Hōgyoku, whose unimaginable power inevitably ends up bringing havoc among those Hollows who live outside the walls of Las Noches. Avoiding the massacres, the hunger-crazy survivors and the Espadas themselves become more difficult every day for a weak scavenger like Miele.That is until one day, after a conflict unheard of in the entire history of Hueco Mundo, which they spectate from afar... the shinigami tyrant and his generals leave, and don't ever come back. In their stead, with most of the Espadas dead or missing, comes Tier Harribel. Her fame precedes her: Miele can finally sigh in relief... until about a couple of months later.

 "FELIS CATUS" 
MAIN VERSE, pre-TYBW 
_{(default verse for casual interactions unless specified otherwise)}“When I first arrived, I was afraid of the sun.”After Aizen's defeat, Hueco Mundo is now under Harribel's reign. Despite her moderate views, stability has yet to be established: the amount of Hollows decimated by the Espada and the sudden void of power created by their disappearance has made the "stray" Gillians and Adjuchas extremely aggressive, and so Miele's lifestyle is still under threat. A higher number voracious Hollows implies less leftovers, and scarcer prey all together.Made weak by having to constantly hide and run away from danger with limited food at their disposal, Miele is one day finally caught, though not by one of their brethren.In the meantime, in the Soul Society, a proposition is brought in front of Captain-Commander Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto: in order to establish proper collaboration with the new ruling body of Hueco Mundo, Captains Shunsui Kyōraku and Jūshirō Ukitake suggest recruiting Arrancars into the ranks of the Gotei 13. The main goal of the propositions is twofold: bolstering the ranks of Gotei 13 with already experienced warriors, and creating allies to strengthen the pact of non-belligerence with Hueco Mundo.Captain-Commander Yamamoto, at first opposed to the idea, finally caves into Kyōraku's insisting remarks. The Arrancars would be recruited by a specific shinigami contingent sent periodically to Hueco Mundo to scout with proper permission from Queen Harribel for adequate candidates. The selected elements, after a series of aptitude tests and a personal interview with the Captain-Commander himself, would be welcomed to form the "Cooperative Arrancar Unit", named after the collaborative nature of the participants.Yamamoto's conditions for establishing the unit are simple: the members of the unit are to be strictly monitored by Onmitsukidō agents when not in the vicinity of a Lieutenant or higher-ranking officer, and that they are not to form a cohesive group but to be distributed among the thirteen divisions, as to suppress any eventual attempts at mutiny as much as possible.Mielelambda becomes one of the first Arrancars to come across the recruitment contingent. Starving, weak, and wounded, they find themselves unable to avoid the group of shinigami, who offer them the chance of a lifetime: leaving Hueco Mundo to become a soldier at the service of the people who had freed them of Aizen's tyranny. Miele accepts, mainly because it's the choice that, at that moment, can save them and allow them to live another day, another hour, another minute.Once arrived in Soul Society, Miele is first kept in a cell over at the First Division barracks for the duration of the testing period. Kyōraku is the one overseeing the admission process and supposedly Miele's future Captain; however, something about the nature of this Arrancar catches his eye: they're meek, obedient, almost frightened --and yet, while they struggle to look him in the eye, their gaze turns curious when met with what is not known to exist in their plane of origin, like the sun.Intrigued by how observant and delicate they seem, Shunsui decides that there may be someone better suited than him to handle this peculiar individual, someone whose very nature is complementary to that of Arrancars and may also have the appropriate sensitivity to understand them: Rōjūrō "Rose" Ōtoribashi, recently reinstated as Captain of the Third Division.Thus, Captain-Commander Yamamoto lays out their mission: Miele is to serve under the Third Division as a shinigami in defense of the Seireitei. Resolutely accepting the new opportunity bestowed upon them by fate, Miele accepts, in hopes that this new path will provide them with a less painful life.Their first days in the Third soon become a comfortable routine: wake up, head straight to the training grounds, perform the day’s assigned duties and immediately head back to safety. All that they come to experience for the first time, from the vibrant colors of flowers to the variable weather, soon becomes dear to Miele, whose gratitude to Captain Kyōraku, Captain Ōtoribashi, and Lieutenant Kira Izuru for allowing them to experience such beauty grows by the minute. While their affinity with nature and animals thrives, Miele faces significant trouble with interacting with other shinigami, often spending the day without uttering a single word or looking at a single person’s face. Despite them genuinely admiring their fellow shinigami and wishing to help them to the best of their abilities, their difficulty in forging bonds renders them a lonely and fragile creature.

 "FELIS CATUS" 
TYBW and after 
_{(this sections implies the validity of "Felis Catus" - pre-TYBW and is to be interpreted as its natural continuation)}Up to the start of the war, Miele has finally reached some sort of stability in their new life as a shinigami. They are now far more confident and extroverted with their colleagues, and have managed to establish themselves as a reliable and thoughtful member of their division.The Quincy attack, however, destroys the peace they have come to love in a matter of hours. The first invasion kills several of the Third's seated officers: Miele manages to survive, at the cost of witnessing many of their comrades and Izuru's (apparent) demise. Paralyzed by terror and grief, they spend the rest of the attack desperately searching for help.Having done little else due to their psychological state, Miele spends a good first portion of the time between the first and second invasion blaming themselves for Izuru and the rest of the division's fate. All they wish is to be by his side, but his body has been brought to the Twelfth Division's labs and no information on his condition can be disclosed. Disheartened, their only joy is found in assisting Captain Ōtoribashi with preparations for the return of the Quincy, including training with him personally.When the Wandenreich rises, Miele is much more focused and firm in their resolve. Rose gives them the task of guiding the rest of the Division while he fends off the Sternitters, and that they do... until they hear the distant sound of his bankai ceasing suddenly, as his reiatsu vanishes. Miele launches themselves to find their Captain, ignoring his very own instructions --they won't let another person dear to them suffer without doing anything to prevent it, under no circumstances.Once they finally find Rose, they're overjoyed to see him alive... but something is off. He's emotionless, alone, and most of all, cold to the touch. After a strenous fight in which they're forced to call upon their Resurrección for the very first time in their life, Miele is cut down by their own zombified Captain.When they wake up, the war has ended. Izuru is ..."alive". Captain Ōtoribashi has recovered from his zombified state. They may be safe, but world has ended: everything, including bonds, has to be reconstructed.

  "PUMA CONCOLOR"  
_{aka Fracción AU, implies the validity of "Felis margarita" (see VERSES section) and is to be interpreted as its continuation}After long centuries spent as a solitary Arrancar unwilling to associate themselves with others of their kind, the coming of Aizen and his army completely disrupts Hueco Mundo's ecosystem, already unruly and fragile on its own. The frequency with which "new" Arrancar are born sets off heavy variations in the otherwise regular flow of reishi in the atmosphere, causing less developed Hollows to become more vigilant, aggressive, and consequently more difficult to hunt. The unprecedented violence perpetrated by the Espada contributes to the eradication of large quantities of Hollows, sometimes repeatedly and in very short spans of time, further destabilizing the established food chain.Miele's lifestyle has become unsustainable. With prey increasingly scattered across the vastness of the White Sands, it is only a matter of time before their resources and luck both run out. There are faint, whispered rumors, audible only to ears as sensitive as theirs, about the Espada being regularly sent out in search of "free" Arrancar to subjugate, in order to bolster Aizen's forces. Clinging to the last remaining pieces of their pride and refusing to be found first, Miele comes to the conclusion that their only hope of survival lies over the Fortress's walls. They turn their gaze to the white bastions under the moon, and set off.Once received into Aizen's ranks, having been reborn long before many others Números, they are assigned the number 30. They retain their doubts about how a Shinigami can possibly bring peace and prosperity to a realm plagued and sustained by violence; however, as a prime opportunist, they begrudgingly accept the fact that serving him is, at the moment, the option with the highest chance of survival. Given the vast distances their hearing can cover, the Sand Cat is often appointed the role of lookout, or "radar", tasked with detecting potential rampaging clusters of Hollows, undiscovered Vasto Lorde, intruders, and any other events that could threaten the security of Las Noches.And so they return to spend their days in solitude, immersed in the silence of Hueco Mundo, often perched on high places where they can best filter out the Espada's noisy quarrels, listening, waiting.[This verse can be adapted for Espada muses to have Miele become your muse's Fracción, whether it's before or after they reach Las Noches. Request to plot something on those terms are highly welcomed!]
