Uta

Uta is a world-famous diva and daughter of Red-Haired Shanks. She is the main antagonist of One Piece Film: Red.

Appearance
Uta is a young woman with long hair that is white on her left side and red on her right; the colors are perfectly separated at the middle of her scalp. Her hair is arranged into two long ponytails with two circular braids at the end; these circular braids are also seen at the top of her head. Her left eye is shrouded by her white hair. Sometimes, she is seen with a pair of feathery wings on her back, the right one pink and the left one white. Her left eye is shown to be bright purple.

She wears a short white dress ending at her upper thighs; the dress possesses a frilly neckline and a black bow and buttons down the middle. On her left arm, she wears a light blue sleeve that covers the entire arm. Additionally, she wears a set of golden cone-shaped headphones with light-blue bands over her ears. In one of the film's posters, she was also shown wearing a multi-colored jacket with numerous designs scattered on it.

Personality
For the most part, Uta seems to be cheerful and optimistic. She possesses a strong ideal to build a new era of peace and happiness through her voice. She is shown to be highly empathetic, as seen feeling righteous anger for a fan that wrote her a letter after losing loved ones. She also hates pirates, despite, or maybe due to her father being one. However, she is also highly ignorant of pirates in general, perhaps due to purposely distancing herself from them, as seen in Uta Diary #4, where she discovered posters of Donquixote Doflamingo and Charlotte Linlin, and was completely unaware that they were a part of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and the Four Emperors respectively, instead commenting on their fashion and the photo itself.

Shanks
Shanks is Uta's father. They were once very close, however, after he left her on a burning island with Gordon, she became depressed. She doesn't refer to him as "father" or any of it's synonyms, only referring to him as Shanks.

Monkey D. Luffy
For unknown reasons, Uta wants Luffy to quit being a pirate. She and Luffy seem to be childhood friends.

Abilities and Powers
Uta's singing voice has been appraised as "otherwordly" (別次元), and she is considered the world's greatest diva.

She appears to possess an ability which allows her to create and control physical manifestations of musical staves.

Past
As a child, Uta appeared to have travelled with the Red Hair Pirates to the East Blue, where she met and befriended Luffy. At some point, Shanks seemed to have left her. However, she became popular as a diva after her breakout hit, "New Genesis", became popular. Since then, she had increased her fame by "streaming" her songs and dances worldwide via Den Den Mushi.

One Piece Film: Red
Uta organized a concert on Elegia.

Trivia

 * "Uta" is the Japanese word for song.
 * Uta was created due to Oda desiring to have a female character star in Film Red, in contrast to the last several films whose major new characters were older men.
