D4C | Stand Awakening

Appearance: D4C has a humanoid, feminine form with large breasts, accompanied by upright horns that somewhat resemble the ears of a leporidae; a masked mandible, and a light body lined by an almost unbroken seam or trim. Her designed after the image of leather being stitched together, like on a baseball.

Personality: D4C's foremost characteristics is her deeply patriotic ultranationalism for America. Marked by the gruesome fate of her previous stand user, Funny Valentine. Her goal is for the United States to stand over the rest of the world. To do so, she seeks the blessing of the Saint Corpse Parts, becoming ecstatic when the Corpse blesses her. Moreover, the stand shows a great degree of determination toward this goal. She notably manages to regain her composure even after facing the eternal torture that Tusk ACT4 had inflicted upon her, dying many times, but always being transferred to the next alternate Valentine. This is fueled by one of her expressed fears being to have someone petty or worse seizing the Corpse and taking away the happiness that she believes should go into the United States.

Despite this, D4C is also callous about the lives of individual Americans, never hesitating to sacrifice her own subordinates in her quest for the Corpse and going as far as to kill them herself if she deems it necessary. An example of this is how she cruelly traps an innocent train engineer halfway through a mirror just to assure herself of one advantage. Her patriotism also comes with some hypocritical egotism. Despite her declared goal of working for the interests of the country, she regularly declares that "her" goals are fulfilled, and after witnessing Love Train's ability, shouted that everything, including power and glory, was now "hers" specifically.

D4C is a ruthless individual, having a might-makes-right attitude toward the world, constantly using the metaphor of "taking the napkin first" to signify her gain in power. She believes that power is founded on authority, and part of the reason she wants the Corpse is to obtain a spiritual authority on par with the Vatican. Convinced that not everyone's wishes can be fulfilled and one must always sacrifice something for the sake of another, she chooses to put the United States' prerogatives above the interests of the rest of the world. D4C respects ambition and ruthlessness and ultimately entrusts the Corpse to an alternate Diego Brando. On the other hand, she looks down on Steven Steel's less ambitious goals, calling his will superficial. Claiming that while her methods require the least sacrifices possible, they still liberally involve murder and general violence, as well as manipulation of the people around her.

In and out of combat, D4C shows a careful and observant side, regularly watching and thinking about the situation to best evaluate her strengths and vulnerabilities. She made great care to disguise her search behind the Steel Ball Run race to leave rival countries behind, but also closely watched the race, following the racers inside a train and having underlings stand to among within the participants, possibly recruiting them afterward, hence the abundance of enemies that Johnny and Gyro face throughout their journey. She also understandably keeps tabs on the whereabouts of the Corpse parts, which after killing Axl RO, allows her to deduce that the infiltrator who broke into his residence was still near her. Her observant nature makes her see through Diego Brando's disguise when the latter tries to approach him, and suspect Gyro's determination in their clash that something is amiss, fully grasping (with the help of a lucky wind gust) the danger the Spin poses to her and how it works. However, in her final confrontation with Johnny, she decides to take her chances against the Spin, conceitedly allowing Johnny a last "futile" attempt at shooting her

D4C also demonstrates a generally dignified and composed attitude. She is a polite woman, and rarely losing her composure enough to insult someone. She respects the prowess of her adversaries, notably admiring the Spin technique as Ball Breaker tries to breach Love Train's dimensional wall. She possesses a code of honor, first putting her patriotism above her interests, and is a woman of his word, never killing Steven Steel despite having reasons to, only because she swore an oath.

This is, however, contradicted, as D4C will twist her code in desperate situations, and isn't above lying to gain an advantage, notably feeding Johnny with false hopes and half-truths to persuade him into releasing her from Tusk ACT4's ability. She also isn't above some petty moments such as slamming one of her men into another dimension to get rid of him, or stomping Steven Steel's wounds to make him suffer as frivolous revenge for him slightly thwarting her plans. During her earlier appearances, Valentine emoted much more, slightly losing her cool on several occasions and also privately calling Diego a "peasant" for having the gall to negotiate with her person on the same level.

D4C is generally polite but cold toward any individual. The only person she's admitted to having loved is her stand user, and she confesses that she has been searching for him across multiple parallel worlds, although that claim is dubious. D4C also keeps a professional distance from her subordinates at best, only caring that they fulfill her orders, whether they die or not.

D4C has some humorous quirks: she likes to take afternoon naps and orders everyone around her not to disturb her when she sleeps. She also tends to sometimes exclaim "dojyan!" (ta-dah), even when it juxtaposes the situation, notably saying it after sending one of her men to another world to get rid of him

Abilities: In the reality of Steel Ball Run, an uncountable number of parallel worlds are assumed to exist. However, the Saint's Corpse exists in only one of these worlds, which is referred to as the base. Though these parallel worlds would normally never cross paths with the base world, D4C allows them to overlap and co-exist in the same place and time. These parallel worlds are nearly identical to the base world, save for minor variations in their history and geography.

D4C can travel between these parallel worlds, preserving the force of her internal gravity to prevent her from being annihilated. D4C herzelf can force other people to travel with her and transport objects with her across universes.

In order to travel between parallel worlds, D4C or her intended target must be put between two objects so as to be virtually flattened between them. In reality, the objects become a portal into which D4C enter to go into another universe, and from the point of view of her exit, it would look like she was emerging from a random object. These objects can be any matter other than air, including solids such as chairs, doors, the floor and walls, liquids such as water, dust and even gases like steam. Only an infinitesimal part of the subject needs be put between two objects to allow the ability to activate. After being transported, D4C can re-emerge from anywhere nearby, including from someone else's back, presumably having arranged an entrance within the parallel world.

D4C can also choose to only partially transport people or things between worlds, immobilizing them inside one of the surrounding objects. However, a lucky and savvy enough person can free themselves by forcing someone or something else to use the same portal, which allows the prisoner to move out. D4 can also use this ability to avoid taking damage from projectiles by using it to partially transport herself between worlds to avoid the projectile altogether.

A notable natural law of parallel worlds is that only one iteration of any person or thing can exist in the same world at the same time. Thus, if D4C pulls someone or something else into a parallel world, they will begin to slowly be pulled toward their iteration in that world. Once two iterations of the same person or thing enter close proximity, portions of each in the form of Menger sponges will fly toward and collide with their alternate iterations, being completely annihilated without a trace; when the duplicate people or things themselves collide, they merge as well and are eradicated completely, potentially damaging those in the immediate radius of the collision. The only way for victims of D4C's ability to avoid destruction is by returning the transported iteration of themselves to their original world, which can be accomplished simply by putting them between two objects once more.

As a side effect of D4C's ability, she is the sole exception to the above rule, and may safely co-exist and interact with as many iterations of herself as she pleases. This allows her to summon several iterations of herself in the same world to outnumber her opponents, conspire with her alternate selves, and even fake her own death by leaving corpses of her parallel selves in other worlds.
