Sarfunkel is a barrel-bound woman stranded upon the Island of Rare Animals. A lost round of hide-and-seek aboard a doomed boat left her marooned there, where she found a lasting friend in Gaimon instead of any route back home.
Long, flowing blonde hair, a pair of goggles, and bare feet mark Sarfunkel's look. In the same way Gaimon spends his days lodged within a treasure chest, she is stuck inside a barrel she cannot step out of. The word Caution is printed across that cask, a star marked just below it.
Warm devotion toward Gaimon defines her. Their friendship reaches back a good while now, and she has been shown caring for him, ladling food into his mouth among other gestures.

It all started on a boat trip. Playing hide-and-seek, she chose a barrel as her hiding spot, but the ship she was traveling on broke apart, and the current carried her ashore onto the Island of Rare Animals.

The pair have turned up together again since. In non-canon footage tied to One Piece Film: Red, they held hands while Uta's old childhood song Where the Wind Blows played. Much later, in the Egghead storyline, the two laughed side by side as everyone else across the globe listened to the broadcast from Vegapunk. Fans read her pairing with Gaimon as a wink toward the duo Simon and Garfunkel.
