Baccarat

Baccarat stands tall and slim. Her skin is light brown, her eyes a dark green, her hair a long fall of red, and her nose thin and pointed in a way that recalls Robin's. A red tattoo of a coiled snake circling a star marks her lower left hip. Her usual look is an elegant backless black dress striped white down one side, paired with black gloves, purple-tinted sunglasses she hangs from her neckline when unused, and black stiletto heels; her crescent earrings, beaded necklace, and star-buckled belt nod toward North African and Arabian jewelry. For combat she swaps this for revealing gold armor over red lingerie.

To guests of Gran Tesoro, Baccarat presents a friendly, polished face, steering them through the city and urging them toward greater wealth and indulgence. The real aim is to bankrupt them and trap them in debt-bound labor. Should a visitor stay lucky, she will not hesitate to strip that luck away, and she is thoroughly manipulative, once faking a leg injury to lure Sanji within reach. Supreme confidence in her fruit makes her arrogant in a fight, certain she cannot lose, and genuinely bewildered when someone's fortune outruns her own. That overconfidence undid her against Usopp, whose hidden slot machine had quietly emptied her luck.

Her abilities stem from a Paramecia fruit, the Raki Raki no Mi, which lets her steal the good fortune of anyone she touches. A victim drained this way is plagued by a swift cascade of accidents and misfortune, a tool she regularly turns on casino guests to push them into crippling debt. By hoarding enough luck she becomes nearly untouchable in battle, with attacks veering away from her and a flicked coin enough to spark disasters that strike her foes. The borrowed luck is not permanent, though, and fades once too many fortunate breaks have spent it. In the climactic fight she carried a gold sword forged by Tesoro but cast it aside, taking on Brook, Chopper, and Usopp with only her fruit and a single coin.
