Catarina Devon

Crescent Moon Hunter Catarina Devon (カタリーナ・デボン, Katarīna Debon) is a member of the Blackbeard Pirates. She was the most dangerous female pirate ever to be imprisoned in Impel Down within the entire age of pirates. She was originally imprisoned in Level 6 of Impel Down, along with the other legendary criminals whose history were erased there. She was initially mentioned briefly by Emporio Ivankov. She is now taking part in the Whitebeard War alongside her new captain Blackbeard.

Appearance
Devon appears to be an older woman, possibly in her 40s to 50s, but with her hair in a set of girlish pigtails. Her face is rather unattractive, with a square jaw, wrinkles, a long, witch-like nose, and a devilish grin. However, unlike many older women in the series (like Dr. Kureha or Vice Admiral Tsuru), she is not stooped or withered, with her body still appearing full and strong, if a bit broadened by age. She currently wears a striped Impel Down uniform, plus a large cape with a pearl necklace across her chest.

Personality
Nothing is known about her personality as to date. Although, when the marines recognized her for the first time she mentioned that she "liked them too" which suggests that she is a somewhat sarcastic person.

Abilities and Powers
Her abilities have not yet been shown, but she is seen welding a spear or a staff when attacking Whitebeard with her crew.

She is considered to be the worst female criminal in the age of pirates, and was imprisoned in Level 6 of Impel Down.

Past
Catarina Devon was once the worst female criminal within the Golden Age of Piracy, but was eventually caught by the World Government and sentenced to life in Impel Down, Level 6, where she was effectively erased from history.

Impel Down Arc
Devon was mentioned briefly by Emporio Ivankov as part of an explanation of Level 6's true horror to Mr. 2 Bon Kurei. Later, she was broken out of her prison cell by the Blackbeard Pirates and was recruited into the crew.

Marineford Arc
She was seen alongside the Blackbeard Pirates and fellow criminal, all of whom have been recruited into the crew, at Marineford, to watch Whitebeard die. She then joined her crew striking Whitebeard, she in particular stabbing with a staff or spear.

Whitebeard then dies and Blackbeard starts to absorb the power of the Gura Gura no Mi. Devon starts to get excited.

Trivia

 * Like other characters in One Piece, she has a distinct laughter which is "Murunfufu".
 * She is so far the only known female imprisoned in Impel Down, except for the residents of Newkama Land (Level 5.5), though even they cannot be confirmed to be "female" because of Emporio Ivankov's ability. She is also the only female member of the Blackbeard Pirates.
 * Her name probably comes from Catalina de Erauso or Catherine Hagerty, a female English pirate who was sentenced to serve time in Devonport, Australia, for pickpocketing, until escaping with the ship to start up a career in piracy. This remains unconfirmed by Oda.
 * The county of "Devon", located in England in an region known as the "West Country", was the place of origin for the English pirate Samuel Bellamy. However it remains unknown if it is the inspiration for Catarina Devon's name.
