Sarie Nantokanette

Appearance

Tall and slender, Nantokanette is framed by long, vivid blonde waves of hair. Her eyes are blue, her nose comes to a point, and she favors a yellow-orange gown decorated with floral designs. A feather tucked into her hair completes the ensemble.

Personality

Compared with the other nobles of her kingdom, Nantokanette carries a more upbeat streak, raising no complaints about her lodgings while staying in Loguetown. Even so, Oda has remarked that she is probably no better a person than her husband. She does show genuine feeling for Sterry, bristling when Vice Admiral Garp mocked him among the gathered royalty ahead of the Levely.

Her manner of speaking is peculiar: she leans on a triple negative, a construction along the lines of isn't not not, which loops back and cancels itself out. She also flares into jealousy whenever Sterry eyes another woman in her presence, as happened when Gismonda displayed a photograph of Nefertari Vivi to the couple during the search.

History

At some earlier point she wed Sterry. After the sudden deaths of Goa's reigning king and prince, Sterry inherited the crown, and Princess Nantokanette was elevated to queen at his side.

As the Levely drew near, the couple lodged at a hotel reserved for royalty in Loguetown. They later reached the Red Port, where Garp's rude treatment of Sterry left her stunned. From there they rode the bondola up to Mary Geoise and proceeded toward Pangaea Castle. Once the council had wrapped up, CP0 questioned the departing attendees about Vivi, and Sterry's lovestruck stare at the girl's photo provoked his wife's anger. As the royals left, Nantokanette also voiced her shock at learning that Sabo had managed to slip into Mary Geoise. Her name itself riffs on Marie Antoinette, with Oda admitting he chose it carelessly because he expected her to be as disagreeable a person as Sterry.
