Bambietta Basterbine is a Quincy and a member of the Wandenreich's Sternritter with the designation "E" for "The Explode." As a key figure in the Quincy invasion of Soul Society, Bambietta stands out for her destructive powers and complex personality. She is the self-appointed leader of the female Sternritter, often referred to as the "Bambies" by her comrades.

Bambietta's abilities revolve around her Schrift, The Explode, which allows her to turn anything she touches into a bomb. This power, combined with her Quincy: Vollständig Zofiel, makes her a formidable opponent in battle. Despite her strength, she struggles with a deep-seated fear of death and a strong desire for survival, which often influences her actions and decisions.
