Giolla

Towering and oddly proportioned, Giolla pairs a heavy upper body with notably thin legs and exaggerated facial features. A purple dress patterned with yellow flowers and a pink beaded necklace make up her usual outfit. Twisted together on top of her head, her orange and blonde hair sits above prominent cheekbones, thick makeup, and sharp pink-rimmed glasses.

Her younger self wore a dark dress with large buns at either side of her head and carried art supplies. At forty-five she was far slimmer, her face less lined and her neck longer, dressed in a short dark-pink dress with garters on one leg and a pink-and-green coat over her shoulders, and she smoked on occasion. By fifty-one her waist and face had grown plumper, though not yet to her present extent.

Vanity defines Giolla, who routinely twists insults into perceived compliments such as being likened to a mermaid princess or Boa Hancock, then scolds the speaker for flattery they never offered. Art consumes her, and that obsession can dull her judgment, as when Brook tricked her into restoring his violin and cane by posing as a fellow artist. Cruelty surfaces when it suits her, shown when she slapped Mansherry repeatedly to wring out her healing power while smiling. In her forties she played a maternal role toward younger crew members like Dellinger and Baby 5, and she fell easily for false rumors, recoiling at Law's Amber Lead Syndrome until Doflamingo corrected her. Her speech ends with the archaic, formal particle zamasu.

Holding officer rank in the Donquixote Pirates, Giolla commanded over 2,000 soldiers, and Doflamingo trusted her to abduct Momonosuke and raid the Thousand Sunny. She defeated Nami, Brook, Momonosuke, and Chopper there with apparent ease, an outcome owed largely to their own carelessness, before Brook felled her in a single stroke. Her body is unusually capable, letting her hurl subordinates one-handed and recover swiftly from repeated beatings.

Her power flows from a Paramecia-class Devil Fruit, the Ato Ato no Mi, which lets her warp the form and look of any object or living thing into distorted, abstract art. A tinted cloud forms above her and she flings it at whatever she means to change, then reverses the result by the very same means. Anything she warps loses its function, and people transformed this way slowly merge with her other works and perish once the process finishes. In the anime she can flood a wide area with art clouds to create an invisible personal dimension where she controls everything and absorbs her enemies' attacks, though a strong enough strike, the Gaon Cannon being one example, can shatter it. While living in Spider Miles sixteen years earlier, she fought with a pistol.
