Personality
~~~~~
Balenciaga Sapphira is a woman all about her own personal gain. She will kill, steal and lie however she sees fit in order to achieve the goals she sets her sights on. This curvaceous cutie is very smart, cunningly crafting ways for herself to get what she wants; forever finding a method to manipulate the odds of a situation into her own favor. One thing you’ll learn about this young damsel is that survival comes as second nature. She’s the type of person you’d rarely see hungry; hardly ever see begging; never see with nothing but sorrow and misery in her eyes. Balenciaga always has a drive – always looking for a “come-up,” and it’s going to be like that ‘til the day she dies!
Confidence exudes from this woman like pheromones from a fully developed flower! She just knows she’s sexy, and if you try to tell her otherwise, then her reaction can range from anything between punching you in the face and actually attempting to kill you! Sapphira is borderline narcissistic due to many compliments over the years and a bit of an ego from having mermaid in her blood – albeit only contributing to twenty-five percent of her genetics. Most of what that quarter-bloodedness gave her was physical – and will be touched upon in the Appearance. What it did give her, that would be appropriate to discuss here, is an undying urge for attention and praise. She believes she is the best at what she does, and will most likely always go out of her way to prove that she is better than someone of the same practice or interest. If the Balenciaga were ever conquered in competition, she's the type to lick her wounds and come back with a vengeance!
Behind the rather scary traits that lie below her innocent façade, is bubbliness and a sense of joy and love for anything fun! Saph is heavily into pop culture, up to date with all of the latest trends, music and fashion! Oh, fashion~! Her greatest love right below the love of herself! If it’s an expensive name brand, you best believe she’s wearing it – no matter what it looks like! Yes, even if it may come off as silly-looking to the masses; but to her, that’s just her “haters’” opinion. Of course this conceited chick thinks she looks good ALL the time, and dare not a soul take a stitch in one of her garments out of place! Diamond Doll identifies with the notion that she is as flawless as her epithet’s namesake, and she expects her clothes to remain the same way! Terrifying things happen when someone displays the gall to ruin her raiment!

Traits
~~~~~
Funambulist
Miss Balenciaga’s body boasts a great amount of lithe. Always the type that liked to show off, this woman’s keeper continually had to watch as the young Sapphira would act out for attention by moving her body in the strangest of ways to the eye. Just like a performer, Saph would do somersaults and other tricks from the highest structures she could manage to scale; all for the praise and attention of her onlookers. Doing this often honed the young madam's deftness, making her one tough cookie to keep up with on land!
Supreme Swimmer
A woman that loves to get wet! Bubbles was born in the water, and it is said that she wriggled out of the womb and swam to the top of the shallow depths her half-mermaid mother gave birth to her in. For as long as she can remember, she has always loved to jump in large bodies of water, sporting nothing but her birthday suit! Not a month – possibly even day – has went by in this damsel’s life where she didn’t swim for an unbelievable amount of hours. Over the years, the talent developed into one of the Balenciaga’s greatest strengths, granting her a lung capacity and dexterity beneath the brine that far outclasses your average human. Her speed and mobility underwater matches – and at times outmatches – that of her prowess on land! Of course she gets it all from her mama, though!
Oxygen Efficiency
As stated in the previous trait, Bubbles has a greater lung capacity than the average human due to the sheer amount of swimming and diving deep she likes to do! She gets more out of her oxygen intake than most, which also provides her with stability in environments where the air is thin or oxygen is low!
Skills & Attributes
~~~~~
Belly Dancer
This bunny loves to dance – belly dance to be more specific! The mesmeric motion of the art captivated Diamond Doll the moment she witnessed it with her own two eyes. From that day forth, she learned and practiced it in order to do the same to others! Her natural pliability gives her pleasing promenade a surreal waviness to it that many often attribute to her mermaid pedigree.
Marvelous Mouthpiece
Sapphira is on the beam when it comes to arts utilizing her kisser. She can sell salt to a slug with the convincing persuasiveness of a business shark, unwrap her favorite candies with nothing but her tongue and can even fit sizable objects in her chops that you would’ve never imagined possible!
She Too Hot to Handle
This woman is hot in more ways than one! A very hot-blooded individual, Saph is the type that complains about wearing too much clothing – preferring to be natural and nude above all else because anything less than revealing burns her up! Weather conditions that most would deem too cold is almost nothing to her unless it were at an extreme level. The same goes for the temperature of water, for any season is a great time for a dip to this mademoiselle!

Fighting Styles
~~~~~
Gypsy Aikido
Defense, Grappling & Softness
D-Class (200 XPz)
Being a girl with a natural love for graceful movement and dance, Sapphira gravitated toward the martial art of the way of harmonious spirit! Mixing aikido techniques with balletic belly dancing movements turns her counterattacks into dainty displays as she redirects assaults and twists her foes into various locks and throws! This special type of dance often arouses Diamond Doll’s passion and aids her in setting up opportunities to strike her opponent back with her true power!
Aspect #1: Hot Mama
As she dances, Diamond Doll begins to burn with a heat akin to scolding, red hot metal! Her skin is flushed in a reddish hue and waves of heat can be seen radiating from her body! Touching her can potentially cause very bad burns – depending on the individual – which also means that her attacks are energized with an intense sultriness when she gets fired up! The incalescence can be felt exuding from her in a one-meter radius.
Kusarigamajutsu
Chain-sickle
D-Class (200 XPz)
Balenciaga’s preferred choice of weapon is the kusarigama. She likes to attack primarily with the weapon’s heavy weight in tricky ways that she feels her opponents would least expect. Coupling this style with the rhythmic movements of her Gypsy Aikido grants her the ability to manipulate the chain to maneuver as if it were a charmed snake! The madam can easily go from forms of assault to those of deterrence in what appears to be the same motion of exotic sway. Commonly used as a weapon to bind and disarm, Sapphira also uses her kusarigama in this way, toying with her opponents by wresting their armaments from them or getting them tangled in her chain before committing to highly sadistic acts with her scythe.
Aspect #1: Air Flow
Sapphira is capable of spinning the chain of her kusarigama so fast that she can create a flow of air that either blows away from or toward her, depending on the direction she’s spinning it. When blowing air away from herself, she creates a stream of wind that rushes the line of path she’s directing it into! Drawing air toward herself is mostly used when she twirls the chain above her head, which allows the voluptuous vixen to waft across the skies in a slow descent toward the ground!
Knife Throwing
Throwing Knife, Accuracy
E-Class
Always one to have a “Plan B,” Bubbles adopted the usage of throwing knives the day she learned the little trick of slipping them in her clothes, where they remained undetected by most. It always came in handy for those victims she got really intimate with and would want to dispatch whilst in close quarters by sneakily slipping out one of the hidden blades! Years of practice on objects and living creatures gave Diamond Doll all the accuracy she needed to make her throws successful more often than not.
Normal Weaponry

Throwing Knives
Knife Throwing
Rank 0
Saph pulls plenty of these small buggers out of whatever she’s wearing as if her body produced them by nature! Don’t ask how...
Kusarigama
Kusarigamajutsu
Rank 1 (100 XPz, Free)
A standard chain-sickle with a black, twelve-inch handle that has an equally long scythe on one end and a forty-foot chain connected to the opposite end. At the end of the links’ length is a heavy, but small, square iron weight. This weapon’s fang is forged from steel, making it durable enough to deal powerful cuts – as well as fend off other metal weaponry, like senbon and katana blades.

Equipment

Shackles Key
Rank 0
A key to Miss Balenciaga’s “pet,” Pig’s, shackles. She keeps it tucked somewhere on her person at all times.
Techniques
~~~~~
I. Sensual Eruption
Gypsy Aikido
Rank 2 (125 XPz, Free)
Building up passion and vigor with her erotic dance, Sapphira’s body becomes hot, and her skin adopts a reddish hue all over. When charged up like this, she can perform one strike with more oomph than any of her normals, giving her access to greater strength and devastation! This technique also bolsters the severity of Saph’s heat upon striking!
II. Peep Show
Gypsy Aikido
Rank 1 (50 XPz)
Sapphira raises a leg straight vertically into the air, bracing it with a hand in order to build up resistance. She then lets it go to drop down into a powerful overhead heel strike! This technique can charge up Sensual Eruption, beforehand, by adding a spin to her movements as she raises her leg!
III. Pirouette Twirl
Kusarigamajutsu
Rank 1 (25 XPz | 25 XPz, Free)
La Araña throws the weight of her kusarigama at a target, manipulating the chain to wrap around their torso, preferably binding their arms to their body as well. Afterwards, she swings around them a few times, further twining their body in the length of the weapon’s chain before firmly digging her heels into the ground, using the momentum to swing her victim into the air prior to slamming them harshly into the ground or another nearby hard surface!
IV. Cafuné
Kusarigamajutsu
Rank 0
Tossing the weight of her kusarigama straight into the air, Sapphira lets the chain reach its full length preceding a vertical swing that sends the heavy mass crashing down on top of her target’s head!
V. Concupiscent Cowgirl
Kusarigamajutsu
Rank 1 (50 XPz)
Sapphira twirls the handle of her kusarigama above her head at a fast pace, like a cowgirl, causing the chain of the weapon to spiral around her body in a way reminiscent of a rhythmic gymnast’s ribbon. As she does this, she also spins her body in place, moving at such speeds that the chain dancing around her body deflects projectiles that come in contact with it! This technique has the potential to ignite her passion and build up a charge for Sensual Eruption!

Bravo Bravissimo
Flamingo Route
Paradise (Grand Line)
Memoirs of a Madam
~~~~~
It was a dark night in the Sprawl; and since every day of the year – save for one – was perpetual night in the land of Bravo Bravissimo, by “dark,” I mean sinister. A group of people stood on the edge of the island, where rocky terrain met sea. A woman by the name of Julah stood over a man on his knees in front of her and her goons; the barrel of a gun pressed tight against the quivering man’s forehead. She let him cry and spittle his last words before her firearm shouted death onto the wind of the silent night. The men surrounding the woman wearing an elegant belle dress of maroon and burgundy, trimmed with white frills, moved to collect the dead body that plopped down onto the rough bank as she lit a cigarette placed between her plump, painted lips. She took a drag of the neatly rolled substance and blew a puff of smoke into the air before a glimpse of something in her peripheral vision caught her attention.
“A witness,” she first speculated – which to her meant another life had to be taken. She commanded her men to hurry up and dump the body into the unforgiving sea of Paradise before marching her way down the ground bounding waters toward the silhouette lying half on land and half in the sea. Her left hand held her cigarette into the air for one of her henchmen to take and hold for her while her right hand clicked the hammer of her pistol, prepping it for another kill. Upon reaching who appeared to be a rather giant woman, when Julah and her men had a better look, they found out that this woman was actually a forty-foot mermaid; one who was pregnant, at that!
The siren introduced herself and her situation through labored breath, with angelic but daunting eyes that shimmered with a golden light. She only looked at Julah, but the men accompanying the femme fatale were too choked up to speak – let alone move from where they were standing when she looked in her direction. The large mermaid’s name was Bellissima. She was travelling through the sea when her unborn child began rebelling against her from within, and she knew they were bound to force their way out soon. She asked Julah to deliver the baby for her, which the woman did in a bit of consternation, handing over her gun to one of her bodyguards. Bellissima was an electric eel mermaid, so delivering her child didn’t come without a few shocks to Julah herself – but thanks to these very shocks, the baby came out crying healthily from the jump.
“It’s a baby girl!” Julah lit up with a bright smile, but she was perplexed when the newborn child came out looking completely human. The mermaid explained that the child’s father, her deceased lover, was a full human and she herself was only half-mermaid, coupled with human blood. Before even naming the child, Bellissima humbly requested if Julah could raise her baby girl until she returned to Bravo. There were obligations she had to take care of out on the grand swell, and she didn’t feel comfortable with carrying an infant with her. Julah reluctantly accepted; however, she was a little happy to do it since she was unable to bear children of her own. Sparkling with joy, Bellissima clutched both Julah and her baby girl in her arms, delivering what she called a ‘love shock’ to them both, much to the human woman’s frustration. Bellissima only had one more request, thereafter, and that was to name the baby girl ‘Sapphira.’ Julah took a liking to the name, and thus followed the aquatic maiden’s desire. With her wishes granted, Bellissima left Julah with a kiss and swam off into the ocean. That would be the very last encounter Julah had with that mysterious mermaid throughout the rest of the newborn child’s life.
Now Julah owned Bravo’s biggest brothel, Balenciaga’s, and by the time Sapphira was five, every single employee and regular customer knew her name! She loved attention and would act out in various ways to get nearly everyone focusing more on her than any other reason they visited the brothel. The little mermaid quarterling captivated those that spoke to her by showing them how extremely flexible or acrobatic she was, twisting into difficult yoga positions and doing flips from the highest places she could scale in the brothel. Julah never scolded her for mingling with the adults and ruffians that entered the club, claiming that it was good for her character. She would meet all sorts of nice people to scumbags and gain a bit of knowledge and experience from the girls Julah had working for her. All of them were beautiful women that also boasted great power. There wasn’t a single madam, or group of madams, that lost a fight to unruly clients trying to mistreat a girl or finagle their way out of their tab! Young Saph admired those women, especially one of the madams who was a great belly dancer. However, above all, there was no one Sapphira aspired to be like more than Julah!
When she turned twelve, she was trained in the exotic ways of seduction and pleasure by Julah herself. She was taught how to fight and how to put her limberness and athleticism to great use in combat. All of Julah’s girls were heavily trained in these ways, and her daughter was no exception. You could say that the club’s ‘sugar mama’ was even more so intense on the young Balenciaga than any other maiden she took in. It was also required for her to learn the use of at least one weapon and her choice was the chain-sickle.
When her training was complete, the young madam spent many years at her mother’s club on Bravo, getting into all sorts of dilemmas from murdering rich tourists to raunchy getaway escapades where she’d swindle her clientele out of their money. As strange as it was for Julah to accept, Sapphira’s behavior was too ruthless for even her to condone. She had never instructed her girls to do business the way Sapphira did, and the young maiden’s actions were starting to give the brothel’s doxies a nefarious reputation. Thus, Julah ordered Sapphira to venture out into the world to gain her own experience as an adult, hoping that the treacherous ways of certain parts of the sea gave her the discipline she needed to be a proper madam instead of a seductive assassin.
Thus, Diamond Doll – as Sapphira became popularly known as – set sail from her home of Bravo Bravissimo with a group of pirates that Julah trusted that were regulars at Balenciaga’s. They set out for the Blues upon the sugar mama’s orders, but about halfway through their trek, Sapphira had already lead the seasoned crew of Paradise to damnation! Seducing and influencing the captain of a more powerful group allowed her to take everything of value from the men Julah sent her with and have them killed to clear her trail. She continued on to the Blues with the group she finessed her way into, only to rob them blind in ecstacy and set them up to get captured by the marines somewhere near Reverse Mountain. Diamond Doll pretty much rinsed and repeated this method throughout the seas and various islands she ended up traveling to. She was well-off and enjoyed a life of traveling, eros and larceny as she manipulated her way to getting everything she desired.
Up to her twenty-sixth year, Sapphira still never grasped the true meaning behind what her mother was trying to teach her by sending her out into the world beyond Bravo Bravissimo, but she was having fun and that’s all that mattered to her!

Paradise (Grand Line)
Memoirs of a Madam
~~~~~
It was a dark night in the Sprawl; and since every day of the year – save for one – was perpetual night in the land of Bravo Bravissimo, by “dark,” I mean sinister. A group of people stood on the edge of the island, where rocky terrain met sea. A woman by the name of Julah stood over a man on his knees in front of her and her goons; the barrel of a gun pressed tight against the quivering man’s forehead. She let him cry and spittle his last words before her firearm shouted death onto the wind of the silent night. The men surrounding the woman wearing an elegant belle dress of maroon and burgundy, trimmed with white frills, moved to collect the dead body that plopped down onto the rough bank as she lit a cigarette placed between her plump, painted lips. She took a drag of the neatly rolled substance and blew a puff of smoke into the air before a glimpse of something in her peripheral vision caught her attention.
“A witness,” she first speculated – which to her meant another life had to be taken. She commanded her men to hurry up and dump the body into the unforgiving sea of Paradise before marching her way down the ground bounding waters toward the silhouette lying half on land and half in the sea. Her left hand held her cigarette into the air for one of her henchmen to take and hold for her while her right hand clicked the hammer of her pistol, prepping it for another kill. Upon reaching who appeared to be a rather giant woman, when Julah and her men had a better look, they found out that this woman was actually a forty-foot mermaid; one who was pregnant, at that!
The siren introduced herself and her situation through labored breath, with angelic but daunting eyes that shimmered with a golden light. She only looked at Julah, but the men accompanying the femme fatale were too choked up to speak – let alone move from where they were standing when she looked in her direction. The large mermaid’s name was Bellissima. She was travelling through the sea when her unborn child began rebelling against her from within, and she knew they were bound to force their way out soon. She asked Julah to deliver the baby for her, which the woman did in a bit of consternation, handing over her gun to one of her bodyguards. Bellissima was an electric eel mermaid, so delivering her child didn’t come without a few shocks to Julah herself – but thanks to these very shocks, the baby came out crying healthily from the jump.
“It’s a baby girl!” Julah lit up with a bright smile, but she was perplexed when the newborn child came out looking completely human. The mermaid explained that the child’s father, her deceased lover, was a full human and she herself was only half-mermaid, coupled with human blood. Before even naming the child, Bellissima humbly requested if Julah could raise her baby girl until she returned to Bravo. There were obligations she had to take care of out on the grand swell, and she didn’t feel comfortable with carrying an infant with her. Julah reluctantly accepted; however, she was a little happy to do it since she was unable to bear children of her own. Sparkling with joy, Bellissima clutched both Julah and her baby girl in her arms, delivering what she called a ‘love shock’ to them both, much to the human woman’s frustration. Bellissima only had one more request, thereafter, and that was to name the baby girl ‘Sapphira.’ Julah took a liking to the name, and thus followed the aquatic maiden’s desire. With her wishes granted, Bellissima left Julah with a kiss and swam off into the ocean. That would be the very last encounter Julah had with that mysterious mermaid throughout the rest of the newborn child’s life.
Now Julah owned Bravo’s biggest brothel, Balenciaga’s, and by the time Sapphira was five, every single employee and regular customer knew her name! She loved attention and would act out in various ways to get nearly everyone focusing more on her than any other reason they visited the brothel. The little mermaid quarterling captivated those that spoke to her by showing them how extremely flexible or acrobatic she was, twisting into difficult yoga positions and doing flips from the highest places she could scale in the brothel. Julah never scolded her for mingling with the adults and ruffians that entered the club, claiming that it was good for her character. She would meet all sorts of nice people to scumbags and gain a bit of knowledge and experience from the girls Julah had working for her. All of them were beautiful women that also boasted great power. There wasn’t a single madam, or group of madams, that lost a fight to unruly clients trying to mistreat a girl or finagle their way out of their tab! Young Saph admired those women, especially one of the madams who was a great belly dancer. However, above all, there was no one Sapphira aspired to be like more than Julah!
When she turned twelve, she was trained in the exotic ways of seduction and pleasure by Julah herself. She was taught how to fight and how to put her limberness and athleticism to great use in combat. All of Julah’s girls were heavily trained in these ways, and her daughter was no exception. You could say that the club’s ‘sugar mama’ was even more so intense on the young Balenciaga than any other maiden she took in. It was also required for her to learn the use of at least one weapon and her choice was the chain-sickle.
When her training was complete, the young madam spent many years at her mother’s club on Bravo, getting into all sorts of dilemmas from murdering rich tourists to raunchy getaway escapades where she’d swindle her clientele out of their money. As strange as it was for Julah to accept, Sapphira’s behavior was too ruthless for even her to condone. She had never instructed her girls to do business the way Sapphira did, and the young maiden’s actions were starting to give the brothel’s doxies a nefarious reputation. Thus, Julah ordered Sapphira to venture out into the world to gain her own experience as an adult, hoping that the treacherous ways of certain parts of the sea gave her the discipline she needed to be a proper madam instead of a seductive assassin.
Thus, Diamond Doll – as Sapphira became popularly known as – set sail from her home of Bravo Bravissimo with a group of pirates that Julah trusted that were regulars at Balenciaga’s. They set out for the Blues upon the sugar mama’s orders, but about halfway through their trek, Sapphira had already lead the seasoned crew of Paradise to damnation! Seducing and influencing the captain of a more powerful group allowed her to take everything of value from the men Julah sent her with and have them killed to clear her trail. She continued on to the Blues with the group she finessed her way into, only to rob them blind in ecstacy and set them up to get captured by the marines somewhere near Reverse Mountain. Diamond Doll pretty much rinsed and repeated this method throughout the seas and various islands she ended up traveling to. She was well-off and enjoyed a life of traveling, eros and larceny as she manipulated her way to getting everything she desired.
Up to her twenty-sixth year, Sapphira still never grasped the true meaning behind what her mother was trying to teach her by sending her out into the world beyond Bravo Bravissimo, but she was having fun and that’s all that mattered to her!
