Shirahoshi

Princess Shirahoshi (しらほし姫), known as the Mermaid Princess (人魚姫), is a giant smelt-whiting mermaid and the youngest of King Neptune's children. She was first mentioned by Pappug, claiming he knew her and even promised to introduce her to the Straw Hat Pirates when they arrived at Fishman Island (though later this is revealed to be a lie).

Appearance
Shirahoshi is a giant-sized mermaid, and is described as "cute but huge" in her introduction. She has very long, flowing hair, with a fish-like hairgrip. When first encountered by Luffy, she wore a very revealing bikini with pearls on it and clam earrings.

Personality
When she is first introduced, she proclaims she is not afraid of a potential attacker (which is what she believes Luffy is) but despite her size, she was rather frightened. She seems to have a very fragile personality, quickly breaking out into crying fits when she first meets Luffy and also when Megalo disappears and when Luffy bounces on her breasts.

Family
She has a pet shark named Megalo, whom she loves very much. When her beloved shark went missing, Shirahoshi got deeply upset and cried continuously.

Her father, King Neptune, and her brothers, Fukaboshi, Ryuuboshi, and Manboshi, all care for her well-being. They gathered an army to hunt down Vander Decken IX, a criminal who kept pestering Shirahoshi with love letters and threatening marriage proposals.

Enemies
Shirahoshi is terrified of Vander Decken IX for the threatening marriage proposals as well as many other unknown enemies who made attempts on her life.

History
According to Pappug, Vander Decken IX started sending letters to Princess Shirahoshi once a week and soon, those letters grew into packages. When he started sending threatening marriage proposals, she became so terrified of him that she couldn't ignore him anymore. This angered King Neptune, and his sons gathered an army to find Vander Decken IX.

Her pet shark, Megalo, had been missing for some time, having been swallowed by the Kraken. Shirahoshi kept crying and crying until the shark returned to her, having been freed by Luffy after he defeated the Kraken.

When the Straw Hat Pirates were taken to the Ryugu Palace, Monkey D. Luffy wandered off on his own in pursuit of food that smelled good to him. Eventually, he stumbled upon her room, where Princess Shirahoshi was sleeping. It looked as though the room was attacked and seems like people were after her life. So it was built with the intention of keeping her safe from her attackers. Luffy was unknowingly walking across her stomach and fell between her breasts and bounce on them, thinking they were coral. When she woke up, she became greatly distressed. She thought that Luffy was one of the many attackers who have been targeting her life. She says she is not scared since she is the daughter of Neptune, but she starts crying to no end while calling for help.
