Renona Topakka
CharacterRenona Topakka is a pastel-green wrasse mermaid remembered chiefly as the mother of Kawamatsu. Shipwrecked on Wano Country long ago, she died protecting her son, but not before giving him the advice that would shape his life: to pass himself off as a kappa rather than reveal his fish-man heritage.
Appearance
Topakka carried the pale green tint of her wrasse lineage across her skin, paired with striking blue eyes and a flowing mane of vivid red hair. Her wardrobe ran to a short pink kimono decorated with red ring motifs. Having passed the age of thirty, the point at which a mermaid's tail divides, she walked on a pair of legs rather than a fin.
Personality
Devotion to her son defined her. Aware that fish-men and merfolk faced cruelty at human hands, she worried about the prejudice Kawamatsu would meet, and she concluded it would be safer for him to hide his true race behind the claim that he was a kappa.
History
Like all merfolk, Topakka could breathe beneath the waves and swim faster than any other sea creature. Those gifts did not save her on land. More than thirty-three years ago, a wreck cast her and the young Kawamatsu ashore on Wano Country. When the two sought aid, local humans pelted them with stones, and the assault left Topakka mortally wounded. In her final moments she warned her son of the discrimination fish-men endured and urged him to call himself a kappa, then died.
