Trafalgar D. Syd❤️‍🔥

Her mother, Athena Luna is a former Thriller Bark pirate. She was seen as too reckless and too independent, so her departure from the crew was not surprising.

Her father, Sydgraves Ari is a former marine. He is seen as a traitor in the eyes of not only the Marines but the world government as well.

-Ari was tasked to capture the thriller bark Pirates, and found a way to capture Luna in an attempt to lure the rest of the thriller bar Pirates to the marines. When this didn’t work the way they planned, Ari decided to transport Luna to Impel Down. On the way, they ended up getting to know each other realizing they both are aiming for the same thing. Freedom and independence. Ari starts to question why he’s even serving as a marine, and Luna starts to question why she hadn’t decided to follow her heart long ago.

-After falling in love with each other, Luna left the thriller bark Pirates and Ari left the Marines to form their own pirate crew, The Moon Pirates. This pirate crew decided to hide in plain sight, protecting a remote island in exchange for resources.

(I followed a list of Nami & Robin’s outfits during each arc to better come up with Syd’s clothing appropriate to each arc and situation lol)

From Thriller Bark to Egghead!

-Due to her strict apprenticeship with her mentor, she had picked up skills in weapon making and self defense, and found ways to use it against him in effort to escape his unruly control. She later uses her skills in aiding the Strawhats!

1.) “Enemy Seekers”- inspired by the Bullet Bill missiles from the Super Mario games, Syd has mini bombs that once aimed and thrown, will follow the enemy without fail and hit them dead on.

2.) “Firework”- pretty much within the name, Syd created explosives that serve the purpose of blinding and distracting, the explosion occurs identical to that of an actual firework, and detonates brightly, like a flashbang.

3.) “Vampire’s Kiss”- Syd has vials she hurls at enemies, causing a swift and fierce ignition that consumes them

4.) “Bat Blitz”- she releases bat shaped explosives in the air and the bombs detonate at her command and her desired location

5.) “Shadow Cloak”- another blinding technique, she also uses bombs with extremely dark smoke to cover the battlefield in darkness, allowing her to move unseen.

-He reminds me of the kids I grew up around in church. He looks just like them.

I grew up with a super religious mother, which meant I was at church on such a regular basis that I knew pretty much everyone there. Including the kids. The church we went to had a predominantly black and hispanic congregation, which is also why I know Spanish lol.
