Appearance

Sora's tail shades from a vivid blue into pale green. Long blonde hair frames her, with a single loose strand drifting past her cheek and her bangs sweeping upward toward the left. For attire she favors a clam-shell bikini paired with a tall, cylinder-shaped lavender hat marked by an odd purple motif.

Abilities

Her merfolk heritage grants her the gifts common to her race. She breathes underwater freely and can move through the sea at a pace outstripping even the flying fish ridden by the Flying Fish Riders. Though it has not been demonstrated, she may share the sonar-based talent for summoning and conversing with fish that most mermaids possess. On dry land, however, she loses her footing like any of her kind.

Sora and the other dancers first greeted the Straw Hats when Camie guided the crew into Mermaid Cove. As the three princes pressed about the pirates entering Fish-Man Island unlawfully, the mermaids covered for them, though Sanji's nosebleed and Hammond's assault soon exposed their presence. The princes only meant to relay Jinbe's words to Luffy. After Caribou abducted Ishilly, Fillonce, and Lulis, Sora and her companions were left puzzled over the disappearances. Once the conflict against the New Fish-Man Pirates closed, she danced at the Ryugu Palace celebration of the Straw Hats' triumph and waved them off as they sailed toward the New World.
