But I just wonder if they understand how mean there were to me

Oh, ain't that funny, how this ever tends to be?

But I just wonder if you'll understand what it means to me"

When I found out that, canonically, Hawkins' animal resemblance is a horse.

That made me wonder who would suit Marie. I eventually settled on roe deer 🦌

There’s always a warm place in my heart for the artworks of little Marie and Hawkins. And yes, I’m still not over the topic of her cooking 🤧

Hawkins: Faust? You’re here? I thought you were in the kitchen.

Faust: Oh, Captain! No, Marie is there at the moment. She wanted to cook something special for you, so she asked for my permission. I didn’t mind.

Hawkins: …Does Marie even know how to cook?

Faust: Well…I didn’t actually ask.

My headcanon that Faust is the cook on the ship. Firstly, a cat chef is just adorable. Secondly, his signature dish is biscuits!

I'm wondering if anyone would like to do a small art trade for Valentine's Day with me?

Liiiike

We can make little Valentine's cards for each other with our op original characters or something 👉👈

After making a little paper Marie, I couldn’t stop thinking about creating something similar but entirely different 😅

My next improvised project was inspired by you ( @kazthisnuts ), your character, and her post-timeskip outfit!

It’s not a perfect 1:1 replica due to some physical constraints in execution and my lack of experience, so I improvised a little bit!

In my mind, this turned into a full-fledged set: A doll, a box, a stand, and some creative design elements.

And, of course, it had to sparkle. Lots of sparkle - because, well, I’m basically a magpie.

Here’s how it turned out!

The box is styled like a wanted poster, with a little window where you can see the character

I wanted to add the character's name at the bottom, but my handwriting is too terrible for that, so I decided to skip it

This is how the complete set looks!

On the back of the box, I’m planning to add a mount for the stand and some designated spaces for notes or character info

@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

° 🌹

A while ago, I drew this art and thought:

"Now I want this as a figurine of Marie, inside a little glass dome. And it should light up too."

Well, I finally got around to making this idea a reality!

The dress doesn’t replicate the original one-to-one, but overall, I’m really happy with how it turned out. I genuinely like the result!

By the way, I need to think a little bit, and maybe I’ll make something similar with Basil 🤔

Look at this

And, of course, on this day, I couldn’t find my tweezers… with so many tiny details to work with 😵

@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 🤧🤧🤧

° 👀

Like a proud mom, I want to show how my Marie and Jack have grown - from the first sketches to first more serious works and to what they’ve become now. 🤧

•° 💫 °•

The first sketch of Marie appeared back in November 2023. At first, I imagined her simply as a mysterious artist, but later this turned into the story of an unfortunate girl abandoned by her own relatives on a deserted island because they believed she was a witch. On her home island, people have only a shallow understanding of Devil Fruits, which fueled their fear.

She was a princess from the late Middle Ages — since that’s the +/- same time period where her native kingdom exists 🤷‍♀️

•° 💫 °•

At first, Jack was purple. His abilities changed multiple times, but one thing always stayed the same: he was always a wanderer, helping others and existing in a permanent state of calm, almost meditative serenity. Oh, and some features like his hairstyle, glasses, and the four-leaf clover in his hair remained consistent in every version.

•° 💫 °•

And one more thing. I’m much better at drawing Basil’s nose now...😭

I adore Hawkins, without a doubt. But that nose was my struggle

Marie: "Captain, why don’t you spend more time with the crew?"

Hawkins: "We’re not friends for it to be a necessity. Well...with most of them, anyway. I consider it my duty to give them a break from my presence."

Marie: "Don’t you ever get curious?"

Hawkins: "I enjoy silence, Marie. Sometimes I prefer being alone."

Marie: "O-oh, I see…"

Hawkins after a pause: "Besides, they sing weird songs when they’re drunk. I honestly have no idea how I’m supposed to react to that."

Marie: "You don’t have to! Just join in and sing with them!"

Hawkins gives her a sharp glance, then looks away: "Absolutely not."

So! Imagine Hawkins as a mysterious librarian who knows all secrets and gossips. She appears silently behind you and vanishes just as quickly. And if you break the library rules? It’s best not to find out what might happen next...
