Perona- Desperation

PERSONALITY: Perona has a very young, childlike and immature personality; frequently acting selfishly and on her own whims. She dislikes people telling her what to do and disobeying her will. Despite this, she is normally loyal to Gecko Moria and apparently sees him as a father-like role model, as she was crying to rejoin him after being sent to Kuraigana Island. After Zoro appeared on Kuraigana as well, she tended to his wounds, displaying a willingness to befriend even those she formerly knew as a foe and demonstrating that she can be kind to others, despite her normally cruel demeanor. She is very fond of cute things and will only allow someone to work for her if they are cute. Her dream is to create a kingdom where all the cute things in the world have been turned into zombie animals that obey only her. She dislikes Kumashi because, although he is cute in appearance, his voice is not, and thus she prefers him to just be quiet. Her desire for cute things gives her a slightly childish outlook on some issues. She is somewhat playful during combat, threatening to crush Usopp's heart when she was in her ghost form, which nearly caused Usopp to die from fear, and shortly afterward merely laughing it off when revealing that she could not do so. Perona has katsaridaphobia, a fear of cockroaches, to the point of screaming and crying when Usopp covered her with fake ones. She is also somewhat naive, having watched Usopp seemingly lift a 10-ton hammer without questioning whether or not his feat was genuine, and shortly afterward passing out from fear when he attacked her with it, despite not actually being harmed. She is very confident in her Devil Fruit powers being able to defeat anyone. Even when confronted by the powerful and dreaded Warlord of the Sea Bartholomew Kuma, after initially being frozen with fear, Perona quickly regained her confidence and proclaimed that she would defeat him. She is also quite stubborn about using them in combat, having continued to use her Negative Hollows against Usopp even after they proved useless due to his negativity because she believed that his immunity was a fluke. After the timeskip, she has become more mature, although she still carries a teddy bear around, indicating that she is still obsessed with cuteness to some degree. She displayed a grateful side, as she tearfully thanked Dracule Mihawk for letting her stay on his island. Like many others, Perona has her own unique laugh, which uses the word Horo (e.g., "Horo-horo-horo-horo-horo!"); this is based on the name of her Devil Fruit, the Horo Horo no Mi.

APPEARANCE: Perona is a short young woman with big, round black eyes and asymmetrical eyelashes on each of her eyelids bottom that may represent eyeliner, she has long waist-length, light pink hair that she keeps tied into two pigtails with black and white flower hairpins. She wears a red crown with a black cross on her head, as well as red lipstick and a thick layer of black eyeliner. Her white long-sleeved three different black heart shapes shirt was short enough to expose her belly. She wears a red mini cape with a pink ribbon on front. Her black and white striped tights completely cover her legs, and she wears a mini-skirt and a red and gold belt with a heart belt buckle, as well as red buckled boots. She usually keeps her toes pointing inwards in a pigeon-toed manner and carried around a red parasol shaped like a cute version of a mini devil

ABILITIES: Being formerly one of the Mysterious Four, Perona had a number of zombies under her command prior to her defection from Thriller Bark. Her ex-crewmate, Doctor Hogback, acknowledges her value under Moria's employment. Perona is physically strong, as she was seen carrying Kumashi's body, which is bigger than she is, while levitating with her Devil Fruit powers. Perona is able to cook, having cooked several times during the two years while she was living with Mihawk While she seems to recognize that bandages can help a person who is wounded, she seems to lack expertise in medicine. During the process of treating Zoro's wounds, she covered him from head to toe in an overabundance of bandages the first time she found him. However, despite this fault, she has common sense or enough knowledge of medical skills, as Zoro recovered from his injuries. She is a capable navigator, demonstrated when she brought Zoro to Sabaody Archipelago all the way from Kuraigana Island. She later traveled to Thriller Bark and returned back to Kuraigana Island all by herself. After learning Moria was alive, she traveled to all the way to Hachinosu from Kuraigana Island, going from Paradise to the New World. Perona ate the Horo Horo no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows her to create and control ghosts. The ghosts have the power to drain the morale, self-esteem, and will to live of anyone whom they pass through, described as hollowing out the victim's spirit. She can also create smaller ghosts that explode with enough force to damage stone walls and larger ghosts that produce an even more powerful blast. Her ghosts can also be used to form a "Ghost Network" for surveillance. This allows her to spy on enemies. The ghosts can also duplicate themselves into even more ghosts. In addition to creating ghosts, she can make her own ghost leave her body. Her disembodied ghost is completely intangible; she can pass through solid objects and cannot be hit by enemy attacks, although she cannot damage anything or attack her opponents physically. Her ghost also has the power to levitate and can change the size of her spectral body. However, while she is doing this, her true body remains unconscious and vulnerable.
