Married to Igaram, Terracotta works as the Arabasta Kingdom's head royal chef and seamstress. Thirty-some years behind the stove let her keep pace with Luffy's appetite, and her near-twin likeness to her husband draws endless ribbing.

Appearance

This large woman wears her blonde hair in curls, and she resembles Igaram so closely that several characters suspect she is him dressed up; Zoro himself protested that no couple should look that similar. Her lips carry bright red lipstick, and a white headband goes on whenever she is at the stove. Day to day she wears a dark red tunic lined in orange with a white stripe, layered over a pale blue button shirt. One small giveaway separates the pair: his curls turn outward, hers inward.

Personality

Dogged and devoted to her work, Terracotta treated Luffy's endless hunger as a contest she refused to lose, cooking on until he was full after the crew's recovery. She is also no-nonsense with those around her, scolding Igaram and tossing him out of rooms when he forgets his manners. With Vivi she is gentle, helping the princess prepare her coming-of-age address and assuring her that simply showing the nation how she had grown would be enough.

History

After Luffy woke from three straight days of sleep, Terracotta entered the crew's medical-bay room to call them to dinner, wheeling in a huge tray with her assistant; for a moment Zoro and Luffy took her to be Igaram himself. She and her staff fed Vivi and the pirates, and she beamed once the famished crew was satisfied. Later she and Maidy dressed Vivi so she was ready to give her speech as princess, turning away both King Cobra and Igaram so the women could speak alone and encourage her. Following the timeskip, the pair were shown measuring Chaka for fresh clothes ahead of the Levely. She also accompanied Vivi to a hot-spring resort, soaking with the princess and several female Kung-Fu Dugongs, and in the eighth film she filled in for Igaram during Vivi's coming-of-age address.
