Donquixote Doflamingo

Appearance Doflamingo is a very tall (standing at 10' and, as a comparison, taller than Kuzan as shown in their confrontation),[5] very lean and muscular man with a six-pack, fair skin tone (tan skin in the anime), and blond hair that is cut incredibly short, resembling a pixie cut. He generally dresses in flamboyant clothes. About his animal theme, the flamingo, his clothes are brightly colored, with his large, light pink feather coat being the most distinct of all. Doflamingo sports a pair of curved, thin white sunglasses, which appear to serve as his eyesight with orange lenses (red in the anime). He usually walks with an odd, bow-legged waddle, which is also a reference to his animal theme.[1]

In the manga, he wears a white shirt with red stripes (early open, revealing his chest), a green belt, and orange pants with white stripes. He also wears pointed black dress shoes. Originally in the anime, Doflamingo had a red shirt with black stripes, a purple belt, and black pants with red stripes. However, when he reappeared during the events of Sabaody, his color scheme was switched to its manga depiction, except for his glasses. In the manga, he has orange-tinted glasses, while in the anime (pre-timeskip) he has purple-tinted ones. He is also seen often, if not always, smiling with his long tongue hanging out. At age 25, when Law first came to him requesting membership in the crew, Doflamingo seemed to have done away with the goggles, but otherwise seemed the same in appearance;[31] he wore a black dress shirt with a red tie and white pants with a bright red design, with his signature mantle over it,[32] At age 28, during his trip to Minion Island, he briefly wore a blood-red double-breasted suit with yellow-gold buttons, with matching blood-red dress pants and shoes, a pair of (dark green in the anime, black in the manga) gloves, and changed his sunglasses to the ones he wears currently.

Personality Arrogant, prideful, carefree, and quarrelsome, Doflamingo is the epitome of a flamboyant and ruthless psychopath. He revels in flaunting a sense of superiority over others and has a penchant for dramatic phrasing and exaggerated posing when giving declarations, always attempting to set himself apart from everyone else. He fears very few people, as he openly taunted Fleet Admiral Sengoku, sits on the table during the Warlord meetings, and shows only gleeful interest at the thought of warring with Whitebeard. It is rare for his face to show any other emotion other than his near-constant malevolent grin, though he has been caught off balance and enraged in multiple instances, only for his grin to return moments later. He does, however, dislike it when people take rumors seriously and speak them as facts and does not cave into such prejudice from such false rumors, as seen when he grew irritated when Giolla stated the incorrect belief that Amber Lead Syndrome was contagious. He also has a habit of sitting in strange positions, like on the back of chairs or on tables,[15] on barrels,[14] and even on a pile of bodies in the middle of a war zone[16] and crouching on top of a wall.[17] It seems this reenforces his own desire to be seen as apart and different from everyone else, showing his high levels of narcissism. Though arrogant, he does not tend to revel in his emotions, remaining completely calm and cool-headed in most situations; even when Baby 5 attacked him with what would be lethal blows, he simply dodged away casually while continuing to have his conversation over the phone.[4]

Doflamingo seems to live by a "might is right" philosophy, believing that the strong are the ones who make the rules and will be the only ones capable of living in the "New Age." Due to his belief in this "New Age," Doflamingo seems to lose interest in other things easily, as seen with his leadership of the Bellamy Pirates[14] and the ownership of the Human Auctioning House.[18] He also threatened to quit the Seven Warlords of the Sea if the orders given by the World Government are not satisfactory to his liking or if they annoy him, and he never really cared about the World Government from the beginning.[19] Though a firm believer of the "New Age" philosophy, Doflamingo, unlike his former subordinate Bellamy, himself seems to have an open opinion on dreams, though dreams themselves do not seem to interest him at all; despite his belief, he does not seem to oppose becoming the Pirate King.[20]

Like many other characters, he has a unique laugh, being "Fuffuffuffu" (フッフッフッフッ?), or in characterized English, "Heh heh heh heh."

Relationships Family Doflamingo once had deep ties to his family, especially his mother, given how distraught he was after her death. He also cared about his father, Homing, and his brother, Rosinante, before Homing forfeited their World Noble status and Rosinante betrayed him, which led Doflamingo to kill them and consider them with contempt. By his own claim, Doflamingo forgave both his father and brother when they died, believing that only by dying could they redeem themselves for him. Doflamingo's father, Donquixote Homing, was a World Noble who forfeited his status in the modest wish to live a normal existence amongst commoners when Doflamingo was 8 years old. Prior to Homing renouncing their World Noble status, Doflamingo had respected Homing as a fellow World Noble. Homing's choice had resulted in the entire family losing their privileges and much of their wealth, and, after residents of the island found out that the family lost their World Noble statuses, they hunted them down, and they were forced into a rotting shack. Due to the sudden deplorable conditions they were forced into, Doflamingo's mother died of illness shortly after leaving Mary Geoise, and the rest of the family was left to suffer persecution and torture.[22]

Doflamingo, in turn, came to hold his father in utter contempt for condemning the family to such a state, considering the man to be foolish for abandoning the family's good fortunes, even cursing at the man for bringing them such unnecessary misfortune, despite Homing's attempt to recall the World Nobles to save at least his wife and sons, a request that was coldly rejected.[22] Upon reaching ten years old, Doflamingo used the pistol that Trebol gifted him to kill his father, using the man's head in an attempt to regain his status as a World Noble; this failed, as the Celestial Dragons refused to let a "family of traitors" return, thus condemning Doflamingo to the world of commoners forever.[39][23] Due to the tragedy Homing brought onto the family, Doflamingo came to hold a grudge against his father up to even this day, as he viciously badmouthed Homing in front of Luffy, Law, and Bellamy, showing absolutely no remorse in killing him. Doflamingo once considered Donquixote Rosinante to be his precious little brother, going as far as warning Law not to harm Corazon (as Rosinante was known as), since Doflamingo would personally bring death to anyone who dared to hurt a single hair on Corazon's head.[36] Doflamingo's protectiveness of his brother was also shown again as he was concerned upon seeing Corazon's stab wound. Even as children, the two were close together, as they hunted food together for their ill mother, and Rosinante cried in horror for his brother's injuries. Doflamingo apparently treasured his mother very much, as he and Rosinante brought food to her when she became ill and looked worried when she started coughing. She died right in front of an eight-year-old Doflamingo.[22] While Doflamingo may be sadistically cruel and unforgiving to his enemies, he seems to hold a genuine attachment towards the members of his crew, the Donquixote Pirates, to a very high degree, as they had been his family since his birth clan condemned him to a life of misery. This has been demonstrated when he was visibly distraught at the thought of Monet giving her life to destroy Punk Hazard, as well as when he gave his honest thanks to Vergo for his years of service. This is also further displayed when a foot soldier had laughed at Pica's voice, causing Baby 5 to shoot him as he provoked the ire of the entire family. This incident made Doflamingo explain how precious his "family" was to him, stating that the members of his crew with the titles of officer and above have shared joys and sorrows along with him and are all he has, while also threatening that he would not forgive anyone who laughs at them.[39] Buffalo stated that Doflamingo was even willing to reinstate Law back into his crew, having held a seat for him since his betrayal[55] (although this was something of an offset when Doflamingo has decided to use Law as a sacrifice for the Perennial Youth Operation).[27] He will even calmly forgive failure, as long as his orders were followed.[43] However, his brother Rosinante stated that only the Elite Officers know his true nature, suggesting that even among his crew he shares some secrets. His kindness, however, did not extend out of the officer tiers, as he dismissed Bellamy for constant failures and being an eyesore, while threatening a peon for giggling at Pica's high-pitched voice. Furthermore, while he would forgive any kind of failure, the one thing he will not tolerate is betrayal; he threatened to kill Law if he dares to break the Blood Law of the crew (by bringing harm to any member of the crew)[22] and when Rosinante, Law and Viola turned against him, he demanded their deaths in the most cruelest of ways. Similar to the Straw Hat Pirates and Big Mom Pirates, the Donquixote Pirates seem to have a wide and assorted variety of crew members, as opposed to many crews that follow a specific theme, ranging from a young girl to elderly people. Several members have some personality quirks that Doflamingo is willing to look past, such as Vergo's witlessness, Baby 5's inability to refuse any request, Trebol's tendency of getting physically close when communicating, and Diamante's constant denial of flattery until it has been retracted.

The officers refer to Doflamingo as "Young Master" (若, Waka?),[4] as a sign of respect, or by his alias "Joker" for discretion. The executive officers Vergo, Diamante, Pica and Trebol call him "Doffy" (ドフィ, Dofi?, Viz: "Dofy") in a casual manner, similar to how his father and brother did.
