Moda is a young girl with shoulder-length light brown hair that is half covered by a white bandanna. She wears a long red and pink skirt decorated with an intricate pattern with a light blue shirt and dark blue boots.
After the timeskip, she has notably grown, looking more like an adult woman with defined curves and her hair has become longer, however her attire is similar to what she wore before the timeskip but has replaced her top with a long-sleeved blouse and her bandana now has a cow pattern. One of her teeth has also been chipped.
Personality
Moda is a kind and caring girl, rescuing Ace from a river and nursing him to health. She also cares deeply for her family. Moda is also afraid of the wrath of the World Nobles.[2]
Abilities and Powers
After having her latent power awakened by Betty's Kobu Kobu no Mi, Moda was able to beat down Pinkbeard, a pirate captain with a bounty of 
52,000,000.[2]
History
Ace's Great Blackbeard Search
She saved Ace from the river after he was kicked into it by Doctor Black Beard, an angry chef Ace had skipped out on, and several others.[1] Ace later returned the favor by reuniting Moda with her parents who were working as cooks on one of the Marines' ships.[5][6]
Reverie Arc
Moda batters Pinkbeard.
When Pinkbeard and his crew invaded Lulusia Kingdom, Moda begged him not to steal from them, as the only money they possess goes to the World Nobles as an offering. Pinkbeard struck her down and demanded she hand it over, but Moda was caught by Belo Betty. After Betty bolstered the townspeople using her abilities, Moda used her newfound strength to defeat Pinkbeard.[2]
