PERONA
"HOROHOROHORO!"
QUICK GLANCE:
"Ghost Princess" Perona is the former commander of the Wild Zombies and Surprise Zombies of Thriller Bark prior to its collapse. She was one of the Mysterious Four and one of the major antagonists for the Straw Hat Pirates on Thriller Bark. After the defeat of Gecko Moria's army and during the timeskip, she begrudgingly helped and cooperated with Roronoa Zoro while in Dracule Mihawk's home on Kuraigana Island.
PERSONALITY:
Perona has a very young, childlike and immature personality; frequently acting selfishly and on her own whims. She dislikes people telling her what to do and disobeying her will. Despite this, she is normally loyal to Gecko Moria and apparently sees him as a father-like role model, as she was crying to rejoin him after being sent to Kuraigana Island. After Zoro appeared on Kuraigana as well, she tended to his wounds, displaying a willingness to befriend even those she formerly knew as a foe and demonstrating that she can be kind to others, despite her normally cruel demeanor.
She is very fond of cute things and will only allow someone to work for her if they are cute. Her dream is to create a kingdom where all the cute things in the world have been turned into zombie animals that obey only her. Her desire for cute things gives her a slightly childish outlook on some issues. She is somewhat playful during combat.
Perona has katsaridaphobia, a fear of cockroaches, to the point of screaming and crying when Usopp covered her with fake ones. She is also somewhat naive.
She is very confident in her Devil Fruit powers being able to defeat anyone. Even when confronted by the powerful and dreaded Warlord of the Sea Bartholomew Kuma, after initially being frozen with fear, Perona quickly regained her confidence and proclaimed that she would defeat him. She is also quite stubborn about using them in combat, having continued to use her Negative Hollows against Usopp even after they proved useless due to his negativity because she believed that his immunity was a fluke.
ABILITIES:
Perona ate the Horo Horo no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows her to create and control ghosts. The ghosts have the power to drain the morale, self-esteem, and will to live of anyone whom they pass through, described as hollowing out the victim's spirit. She can also create smaller ghosts that explode with enough force to damage stone walls and larger ghosts that produce an even more powerful blast. Her ghosts can also be used to form a "Ghost Network" for surveillance. This allows her to spy on enemies. In addition to creating ghosts, she can make her own ghost leave her body. Her disembodied ghost is completely intangible; she can pass through solid objects and cannot be hit by enemy attacks, although she cannot damage anything or attack her opponents physically. Her ghost also has the power to levitate and can change the size of her spectral body. However, while she is doing this, her true body remains unconscious and vulnerable.
