Appearance

She is a slightly plump woman of ordinary build, with a rounded face, curly dark hair, and a few wrinkles that place her in middle age. Her standard look is a dark apron worn over a white shirt with the sleeves pushed up. The Episode of East Blue special recolors this into a white apron over a blue shirt.

Personality

Warm and good-natured, she comes across as a courteous, cheerful soul, the kind of welcome she showed Luffy when he stopped by the shop she keeps with her husband.

History

Back when Luffy was a boy in Foosha Village, he dropped by the couple's fish stall to pick up some fish. While Gyoru chatted with the child out front, Chicken worked in the rear of the shop, smiling at him from a distance. Later, after the great war wrapped up and Garp came home to Foosha Village, an anxious Chicken pressed him for news about what had become of Luffy. Because the anime's original telling of the first chapter trimmed Luffy's past into a quick flashback, she and Gyoru were left out, so her animated debut instead came with that short post-war cameo.
