Pandora is a living sun homie brought to life by Mother Carmel, who fed part of her own soul into a blaze on Elbaph using the Soru Soru no Mi. The creature predates Big Mom's later sun homie Prometheus and shares much of his fiery design.
Pandora exists as a tight knot of burning flame shaped into a tiny living sun, roughly as large as Carmel's head, though the size can swell or shrink. The form closely mirrors the later Prometheus, with the chief difference being a set of what look like eyelashes ringing its face.
Very little has been shown of how Pandora thinks. What is clear is its devotion to Carmel, the homie trailing her everywhere she travels and even lighting her cigarettes for her.
Being a sun homie, Pandora can hover and fly under its own power while giving off heat and flame, handy for tasks as small as sparking a cigarette. Because it was forged from a fragment of its maker's own soul rather than a stranger's, it is reckoned to be far more potent than ordinary homies built from other people's spirits. Pandora came into being sixty-one years before the start of the series, when Carmel poured part of her soul into a huge fire on Elbaph. Onlookers mistook the event for the appearance of the Sun God and hailed it as a miracle. The homie went on to accompany Carmel, including a meeting she held with Cipher Pol. Its fate after Carmel's disappearance is unknown. Pandora holds the distinction of being the only known homie not made by Big Mom, though the fire it sprang from was one she had started during her rampage on Elbaph.

When I first decided to commit to watching One Piece seriously, I knew I was embarking on one of anime's longest and most beloved series. With over 100...

The transformation everyone knows, the follow-up question nobody would touch. Why we made a smooth R&B track about the golden glow Dragon Ball never talks about....
Pandora's fate remains unknown after Mother Carmel disappeared; the sun homie was last seen accompanying Carmel, including during a meeting with Cipher Pol, before vanishing from the story.
Pandora was created by Mother Carmel, who used her Soru Soru no Mi power to pour part of her own soul into a huge fire on Elbaph, giving rise to the living sun homie.
Unlike most homies, which Big Mom creates from the souls of strangers, Pandora was forged from a fragment of its own maker Carmel's soul, making it far more potent, and it closely resembles the later homie Prometheus aside from its eyelash-like features.
As a sun homie, Pandora can hover and fly under its own power while giving off heat and flame, useful even for small tasks like lighting Carmel's cigarettes.
Pandora came into being sixty-one years before the start of the series, when onlookers on Elbaph mistook Carmel's fiery creation for the appearance of the Sun God and hailed it as a miracle.
