Carmel

Carmel is a nun who ran the "Sheep's House" on Elbaf which took in lost human children several decades ago. Known as the "Holy Mother", she was called "Sister Carmel" in her younger days and later "Mother Carmel" when she took control of the Sheep's House.

Appearance
Carmel is an elderly woman with a large, wrinkled face and a square-shaped jawline. She has long, wavy light hair and wears lipstick. She wears dark nun's robes that have light frills on them, as well as a similarly-designed headdress. She was seen holding a cigarette in her hand.

At age 43, Carmel had no wrinkles on her face and lacked lipstick.

Personality
Carmel is known as the "Holy Mother" due to her extremely kind and compassionate nature. She would always see the good in others, evident that when Linlin was still a child and would go on rampages and destruction, she always forgives her because she believes she is a kind person. During her youth, Carmel pleaded mercy for condemned members of the Giant Warrior Pirates who were sentenced to death by the Marines. Carmel even set up an orphanage and took in children that have no home of their own regardless of race or status, from a former prince to a slave. Even Linlin became extremely attached to Carmel due to her kindness.

History
After the Giant Warrior Pirates disbanded, some of their members were captured by the Marines and were about to be executed. Sister Carmel stepped up and convinced the Marines to release them, saying that the warriors of Elbaf would seek vengeance if they died. Eventually, Carmel became known as the Holy Mother. She took in children who has no place of their own regardless of their race. She opened an orphanage called the Sheep's House.

After Charlotte Linlin was abandoned by her parents at the age of five, Carmel took her in as well. Caramel would always forgive Linlin, no matter how much damage she caused. She encouraged Linlin to persevere during Elbaf's twelve day fasting period. When Linlin went on a rampage, Carmel attempted to stop Yoruru from attacking her. However, at some point, Carmel left Linlin under unknown circumstances.

Legacy
During all of her Tea Parties, Linlin places a picture of Carmel across from her at the table. If Carmel's picture is damaged, Big Mom will enter a psychological crisis, which will render her able to be physically injured. Reportedly, this information is privy only to the Charlotte Family.

Trivia

 * Carmel's name may be a reference to the Carmelites, a religious order known for selling sweets in Japan, which corresponds with Carmel's nun-like outfit and title of "Mother". The sweets connection also matches the Big Mom Pirates and Charlotte Family food theme.
