@jamcan1 : "Does Marie have the same Devil fruit as her great grandmother? Was it sealed away somewhere or did she just so happen to bite into a weird swirly fruit accidentally?"

Both Marie and Adelaide had Paramecia-type Devil Fruit abilities. However, their powers were fundamentally different in nature.

To be honest, Adelaide's abilities seemed far less 'sinister' compared to those of her great-granddaughter. Additionally, they were potentially much less harmful to others.

And about Marie's Fruit, it's a funny story!

You see, in Marie's homeland, there’s a unique fruit that grows natively in the region.

To be fair, it doesn’t look very appealing, but it tastes good - kind of like a strawberry

During the harvest, a Devil Fruit was accidentally found among the orchards and mistaken for one of the local fruits. The only difference anyone noticed was its more pronounced pattern on the skin and flesh. That was it. No one even suspected it was anything else 🤷‍♀️

And it all comes down to the complete lack of knowledge among the people of Marie's kingdom about Devil Fruits

@jamcan1: "What's her experience with Devil Fruits? Has she eaten one? Does she know someone who has?"

Marie ate a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit at the age of 13, and it happened entirely by accident. This event became known in her family as the "Banquet Incident." Afterward, she was confined to a secluded tower for years and later sent far away altogether.

She learned the true nature of her abilities — that they were not the result of a curse, witchcraft, or "evil spirits," but rather the effects of consuming a Devil Fruit (as well as the existence of such fruits) — only nine years later.

As for whether Marie knew anyone else with Devil Fruit abilities: indirectly, yes. That person had a similar fate, though Marie’s story had a somewhat more optimistic ending.

To understand the context, it’s necessary to introduce her great-grandmother Adelaide, one of the past queens of their kingdom.

Adelaide was a woman with black hair and green eyes who also faced accusations of witchcraft. Her story became one of the reasons why people were so quick to believe that the "evil spirit" had passed down the bloodline to Marie.

Close monitoring of Adelaide’s female descendants continued long after her reign. Daughter, granddaughters, and great-granddaughters were scrutinized for signs of "curses" or "deviations." However, by the time it came to Marie, the youngest great-granddaughter, such suspicions had mostly faded. Her two older sisters were completely ordinary, which further reinforced the idea that the fears had died out with earlier generations.

Then, the infamous incident happened. When Marie’s eyes changed color from dark brown to green — one of the side effects of her abilities and an unfortunate coincidence — people quickly linked it to Adelaide, reaffirming their superstitious fears. In the eyes of society, the "evil spirit" had indeed passed on to the youngest princess.

So! This is Marie.

She’s my One Piece original character, and I’m actively working on developing her story and personality. Actively, as much as time allows, but I’m trying my best!

A while back, I did something similar, but now I want to try again — a character ask

Because honestly, there’s so much I want to share about her: her story, personality, or just some simple everyday facts, but I don’t always know where to start 🤧

I’d be very grateful if you sent me any questions about Marie — whatever you’re curious about: her past, her relationships, or even some of her little details. I’d love to answer through text, or maybe even draw some little sketches. Or maybe not so little. Or maybe not just sketches 🤧🤧🤧
