Shinobu

Though her stocky outline suggests otherwise, Shinobu actually stands quite tall at 180 cm, yet she reads as shorter beside others. In middle age she sports broad brows, a wide nose, and a full, rounded face, with brown hair in pigtails, heavy makeup, and pink kunoichi dress. In her youth she was a striking beauty who turned the heads of her enemies. After Ryokugyu drained the moisture from her body, the excess weight vanished and she once more resembled her younger self, keeping only her blunt bangs and cheek blush, and she took up a sleeveless flowered kimono with a cape and high-heeled sandals.

Shinobu clings to pride in her former looks and bristles whenever anyone slights them or measures her against her younger face. She rattles easily, claims a fear of sharp objects, and remains relentlessly vain and flirtatious, trying to seduce nearly everyone she meets only to be brushed off as a grandmother, which prompts her to strike at her rejecters. Where the overthrow of Orochi is concerned she turns ruthlessly serious, growing so frustrated when plans crumble that she once urged silencing captured allies to stop a leak. She also feels deep sympathy for Wano's oppressed people, weeping at the memory of starving Ebisu Town residents driven to eat faulty SMILE fruits.

As a seasoned kunoichi, Shinobu commands stealth, espionage, and escape arts, boasts sharp reflexes that let her shield allies from a direct strike by Kaidou, and is nimble enough to dash along walls. She bested Hanzo of the Orochi Oniwabanshu and slipped into Orochi's castle undetected, and she handles shuriken and kunai with precision, once ricocheting an object off the ground to hit her target. Her power comes from the Juku Juku no Mi, a Paramecia fruit that makes anything she touches ripen and rot at once; she calls it her Enticement Jutsu since Wano knows nothing of Devil Fruits. With it she sinks enemies into decayed ground, opens escape holes, and clears obstacles. She can also force living beings into physical adulthood, leaving them mentally unchanged but larger and stronger, a feat she used on Kouzuki Momonosuke, and the change cannot be undone. She carries a katana as well.
