"Demon Lady" Charlotte Amande is the third daughter and seventh child of the Charlotte Family, the second quadruplet sister to Mondée, Hachée, and Effilée,[6] and a snakeneck-human hybrid.[8] She also is an officer of the Big Mom Pirates[3] and serves as Totto Land's Minister of Nuts (ナッツ大臣, Nattsu Daijin?), governing over Nuts Island.[4]

Appearance

Amande is a tall, very slim, and extremely pale woman with long, light blue hair that is curled at the end.[1] She has large lips, sullen light green eyes, and a small, almost flat nose. As a member of the Snakeneck Tribe, she has an unusually long neck (though it appears to be shorter and less flexible than those of her other two half-Snakeneck siblings, Marscapone and Joscarpone) which has a tattoo of a stripe and two hearts on it.[9]

Her face is obscured by a hat with an extremely wide brim which is easily about three times her size.[5] When her face is visible, she usually wears a cold and melancholic expression with a lit cigarette in corner of her mouth. She wears a pair of hooped earrings,[9] a light blue dress with vertical stripes, and a red sash around her waist.[1]

  • Amande means "almond" in French, which follows the food-themed names of the Charlotte Family and Big Mom Pirates. Her quadruplet sisters also have names derived from French words with an almond theme.
  • Amande is left-handed, as she carries her sword in her left hand and her sheathe on her right hip.[5]
  • Amande's character may be inspired by onryō or similar Japanese folklore, due to her thin and pale appearance, long hair, sadistic nature and the epithet "Demon Lady". Her height and attire consisting of a long dress and wide brimmed hat are reminiscent of the urban legend Hachishakusama.
  • Amande was ranked by her younger siblings as their second-favorite older sister, behind only Smoothie.[22]
