Perona, often referred to as the "Ghost Princess," is a former commander of the Wild and Surprise Zombies on Thriller Bark. She was one of the Mysterious Four, a group of key figures under Gecko Moria's command.

Known for her playful yet somewhat sadistic personality, Perona uses her Devil Fruit powers to create ghostly apparitions that induce negative emotions in her opponents. Despite her affiliation with the villains, she later develops a friendly relationship with Roronoa Zoro.

Appearance and Personality

Perona is a petite young woman with large, round black eyes framed by asymmetrical eyelashes that resemble eyeliner. Her long, light pink hair cascades to her waist and is always styled in two pigtails adorned with black and white flower hairpins.

Pre-timeskip, Perona embraces a gothic lolita style. She wears a red crown with a black cross, bold red lipstick, and thick black eyeliner. Her outfit includes a short white shirt with black heart designs, revealing her midriff, and a red mini cape with a pink ribbon. She pairs black and white striped tights with a mini-skirt, red buckled boots, and a red and gold heart-buckled belt. Perona often carries a miniature, devil-shaped red parasol, completing her unique look with a distinctive pigeon-toed stance.

Post-timeskip, Perona undergoes a dramatic transformation. Clad in a long, strapless black dress adorned with lavender frills, she pairs it with striking red high-heeled boots and a grand black top hat embellished with white floral accents. A pink bat tattoo boldly marks her left bicep, and she accessorizes with a watch on the same wrist and pink nail polish. Her signature parasol remains a constant companion, joined by a cuddly Kumashi stuffed animal. Her once iconic pigtails have evolved into intricate spiral braids that cascade down the back of her head.
