boa marigold

Boa Marigold is one of the three Gorgon sisters who rule over Amazon Lily. She and her sisters are known as the Gorgon sisters for supposedly slaying a monster called the Gorgon. She is the younger sister of Boa Hancock and Boa Sandersonia. Appearance: In her youth, Marigold was small and slim like her older sister. Now she is a large and heavyset woman. Her hair is styled to resemble the patterns on a cobra's hood and somewhat like a Valkyrie’s helmet. She is first seen with a large hawk by her side instead of a snake, which is typical for other Kuja. On her back, hidden by her cape and long hair, is believed by the Kuja to be a set of eyes she and her sisters received as part of a curse for slaying the Gorgon. It is now known that the symbol on the Boa sisters' backs is the "Hoof of the Soaring Dragon," an emblem branded upon slaves of the Tenryuubito. Personality: Marigold is the sternest of the three sisters, displaying the least amount of emotions outside of battle. While she lives under the belief that she and her sisters defeated a Gorgon to gain their curse, she has not lied outright, unlike Hancock, who often does. In battle, Marigold is an offensive warrior who can be slightly playful, though not as much as Sandersonia. Abilities and Powers: Ruling alongside her sisters, Marigold holds power over Amazon Lily and the rest of the Kuja women. As part of her sister's pirate crew, she is one of the elite Kuja warriors. Among the sisters, she is the only one who wields a weapon, specifically a spear. She possesses the ability to use Haki to defend against attacks, even those from Devil Fruit users. However, she cannot block attacks that are too powerful for her, such as Luffy’s Gear Second techniques. Devil Fruit: Marigold ate the Hebi Hebi no Mi, Model: King Cobra, which allows her to transform into a King Cobra. While these powers are Zoan-type Devil Fruit-based, the Kuja attribute Marigold’s and Sandersonia’s ability to turn into snakes as part of their supposed curse. Trivia: Her name comes from the flower Marigold. The title of the Gorgon Sisters is derived from the story of slaying a monster named Gorgon, but their concept is loosely based on the three mythological Gorgon sisters, including the famous Medusa.
