Appearance

Lean and tall, Nightcrab Girl lets her dark purple hair fall to her waist and dresses in a pink corset-style top above a pale pink skirt. The Crab SMILE reshaped her body in unmistakable ways: long red claws stand in for her hands, antennae rise from her head, and a second set of legs juts from her frame. Like her fellow Gifters she sports a pair of black horns, worn purely as decoration. The anime gives her gray leggings, while the digitally colored manga leaves her legs uncovered.

Personality

She shows real ambition, ready to charge at Luffy and Zoro for a chance to claim a Tobiroppo seat. Away from battle she has a taste for revelry, loving to dance and drink, and she is celebrated for a one-of-a-kind dance she performs at gatherings that tends to draw enthusiastic applause.

Abilities

Her power comes from an artificial Crab SMILE, which traded her hands for crab claws and added an extra pair of legs to her body. As a Gifter she fights as one of the Beasts Pirates' enhanced foot soldiers. During the assault on Onigashima, when Queen dangled a Tobiroppo position before any Gifter who could bring down Luffy and Zoro, Nightcrab Girl joined the swarm rushing the two Straw Hats in pursuit of that reward.
