Wanda

Wanda is a canine mink of the Warrior Beast Tribe and is a member of the Inuarashi Musketeer Squad and a ruler's aide.

Appearance
As a female mink, Wanda possesses a humanoid body with a curvaceous and well-endowed build, as well as animalistic features. In her case, she has canine features, most notably a large nose, flappy ears, and a large bushy tail.

When first meeting Luffy's group, Wanda wears Nami's long pants, high-heeled shoes, and her striped bikini after Nami lent them to her.

During Jack's invasion, Wanda wore a light blue open-necked shirt, short shorts, and a white cavalier hat.

Personality
Wanda is unprejudiced, as she stated that she judges others by what is on the inside rather than what is on the outside. She is helpful to strangers, as she tried to assist the Straw Hat Pirates by giving them directions on Zou and protected Luffy from the guardians of the Whale Forest. She sometimes says things without thinking about the context, as when she referred to Brook as a corpse the Straw Hat Pirates thought she was talking about their crewmates' dead bodies.

Similar to a dog, she has a habit of licking others on the face, as seen when she licked Luffy's face. Also, she finds Brook to be delicious, since his body is bones.

Just like many of the Mink Tribe, Wanda is attracted to humans and will sometimes lick them to show affections.

Mink Tribe
Wanda cares very much for her fellow minks, as she was saddened while remembering the torture they underwent during Jack's invasion. She was very relieved to hear that Inuarashi had woken from his coma.

Straw Hat Pirates
When Wanda first encountered the Sunny crew, a day had passed since she and the other minks had been incapacitated by Jack's poison. She assumed them to be with Jack and attacked them despite being weakened, desperate to know why they were committing senseless violence. However, when she found out that the Curly Hat Pirates were here to save them, Wanda shed tears of happiness.

Wanda is very grateful to the Straw Hat Pirates that arrived on Zou first, as they saved the Mokomo Dukedom from total destruction. When she encountered the other Straw Hats several days later, she gave them directions to get to the Right Belly Fortress. She got exasperated when they did not believe her and tracked her down to free Luffy, but did not hold it against them.

When she heard that Monkey D. Luffy had trespassed on the Whale Forest, Wanda said she would treat him without mercy despite what his crewmates did. However, after learning that he meant no harm and simply did not ring the Bell of Welcome, she took him to the Right Belly Fortress, answering any questions he had.

Like the other canine minks, she is very taken with Brook due to him being made of bones, and affectionately refers to him as "Baron Corpse"

Jack
Jack 's invasion and the amount of destruction he caused traumatized Wanda, and seeing the destruction brought tears to her eyes. She swore to never forgive Jack for what he did.

Big Mom
While they have never met, Wanda was aghast as she learned what macabre method Pekoms's captain had used to force Sanji to accept the wedding invitation. Being aware of how dangerous Big Mom is, Wanda scolds an ignorantly excited Carrot from taking Big Mom too lightly.

Abilities and Powers
Wanda is able to pacify the guardians of the Whale Forest, whom the Heart Pirates failed to bring under control. As a member of the Musketeer Squad that serves Inuarashi, Wanda has shown to be a proficient swordswoman and user of Electro. As a ruler's aide, she serves both Inuarashi and Nekomamushi both day and night, indicating she has a great deal of stamina. She was even able to stand and fight to a degree even after being severely weakened by poisonous gas.

Weapon
Wanda wields a cutlass which she uses in conjuction with her Electro ability.

Past
When the Beasts Pirates, led by Jack, attacked Zou in search for a ninja called Raizo, Wanda and the other Musketeers took a stand against them. A pirate used his Devil Fruit powers to attack Wanda, but she was saved by Sicilian.

The battle against the Beast Pirates lasted for five days. Even though the Mink Tribe had the upper hand, they could not defeat Jack. On the fifth day of the battle, Jack lost his patience and used one of Caesar Clown's poison gas weapons. With the Mink Tribe overwhelmed, Wanda watched helplessly as Jack tortured the strongest of them. The torturing ceased when Jack heard about Doflamingo's defeat and capture, causing Jack to leave Zou in order to rescue him, leaving behind some of his subordinates, who were later forced to leave right after Sanji's group arrived.

After Caesar was forced to neutralize the poison gas, Wanda attacked Nami, thinking that she and her group were with Jack. When Nami pinned her down, Wanda took out a bomb. Tristan and Pedro stopped Wanda, explaining to her that Nami and her group were not the enemy. The Mink Tribe was then saved when Sanji's group treated their injuries.

While Sanji's group lived with the Mink Tribe, Nami lent some of her clothes to Wanda, who in turn, gave Nami a new dress. When Capone Bege and Pekoms arrived, Wanda explained that Pekoms was once an infamous delinquent. When Capone Bege ran away from Nekomamushi with Sanji inside him, Wanda tried to pursue, but Brook told her not to as even if she could catch Bege, he felt Sanji wouldn't be coming back.

Nekomamushi then told Wanda and Carrot to keep quiet about the incident as that what Nami and her friends wanted.

Zou Arc
She first appeared riding on her alligator-boar steed when she stopped Carrot's attack on Zoro. She told Carrot that they needed to deal with an intruder in the Whale Forest.

After Carrot surveyed the situation from high up in the air, Wanda and Carrot left in a hurry. Before leaving, Wanda told Zoro's group where to find Sanji and his group but also claimed that they were dead. Once they arrived at the Whale Forest, Wanda and Carrot stopped a fight between Luffy and one of the guardians. Wanda explained to Luffy that the reason he was attacked was because he was trespassing. After Luffy got reacquainted with the Heart Pirates, Wanda explained to Luffy about Jack's recent attack on Zou. She then offered to take Luffy to Sanji's group. Luffy was excited, but Wanda looked gloomy about it.

While riding Wani, Wanda told Luffy about the climate on Zou and how the sea water from Zunisha's eruption rain is filtered and sent across the country via a system of aqueducts. She and Carrot also explained that that rain also drops plenty of fish, providing them with a good food source. They consider the rain as a blessing in that regard. As they traveled, they went past some wooden stockades used for torturing prisoners and Wanda had an upsetting flashback about what Jack did to one of her friends. Luffy asked her about the pirate she mentioned earlier, and she told him about Jack, explaining that his obituary was in the paper, since he was believed to be killed during a raid on a Marine escort. She added that his death wasn't confirmed, so he might still be alive. Right after Law teleported Luffy's friends close to their location, Wanda acted tersely to Usopp trying to use Zoro to threaten her, saying he didn't understand the situation at all. When they reached the gate to the Right Belly Fortress, the guards asked Wanda about the people traveling with her, and she vouched for the pirates, saying they got lost in the forest before they could ring the welcoming bell. She then ordered the guards to open the gates and announced the arrival of the Straw Hat Pirates, much to the surprise of the guards.

When Zoro inquired about the minks being a human-hating species, Wanda corrected him, saying that to them, humans are nothing more than hairless monkey minks, a different variety of the same species. They would only hate a human because of who they are, not what they are. The race prides itself on the fur covering their bodies, but some still find hairless minks attractive (herself included), as she licked Luffy to illustrate her point. After Nami reunited with her friends and hugged Luffy, Wanda looked away in shame as Nami prepared to tell them about what happened to Sanji.

While feasting with the Straw Hats, Wanda explained how Nami's group saved the Mink Tribe after their arrival at Zou. When she heard that Duke Inuarashi regained consciousness, she was overjoyed and they went to meet him. On the way, Wanda began to explain Jack's attack on Zou in more detail.

After finishing part of her recollection, Wanda heard Luffy mentioning the ninja, but Brook insisted that she misheard him. They then arrived at Inuarashi's sanatorium and introduced Sicilian to the Straw Hats. Sicilian allowed them to enter and they met the duke himself. While speaking to Inuarashi, Wanda mentioned about a weapon that Jack used to overwhelm the Mink Tribe.

When Inuarashi fell asleep, Wanda explained about how Inuarashi and Master Nekomamushi are on bad terms with each other and how they each rule Zou during the day and night, respectively. She then continued to recount the Mink Tribe's battle against the Beast Pirates, which ended when Jack's used the poison gas weapon. She also explained how the Mink Tribe were tortured until Jack departed.

Wanda then concluded her recollection with how Sanji's group saved the Mink Tribe by treating their injuries. When the Straw Hats decided to visit Nekomamushi and the Guardians, Wanda and Carrot traveled to the Whale Forest with them.

Once they arrived, Wanda and Carrot went with Luffy, Nami, and Pedro to see Pekoms, who was left behind by the Big Mom Pirates.

As Pekoms explained in detail about Sanji's predicament, Wanda and Carrot were visibly disturbed when Pekoms explained the reason why Sanji could not refuse Big Mom's invitation.

On the next day, the minks heard that samurais arrived and they gathered at Kurau City. When Nekomamushi and Inuarashi met face-to-face and started quarreling, the minks tried to stop them from fighting to no avail. However, when Kin'emon and Kanjuro revealed themselves, the minks welcomed them and revealed that Raizo is safe.

Kin'emon then showed the minks the crest of the Kozuki family on his back to confirm his allegiance. When Inuarashi and Nekomamushi reluctantly called a truce for the sake of Momonosuke, whom they recognized as their lord, the minks were overjoyed.

After Inuarashi and Nekomamushi took Law, the Straw Hats, and the samurais to the Whale Tree, the minks talked about the day the two rulers started hating each other. Happy that the two rulers finally made peace with each other, the minks were going to prepare a banquet to celebrate the occasion.
