Background
Baby-5 was abandoned as a child because she was poor, then taken in by the Donquixote Family and raised as an assassin. Of one hundred orphans subjected to the Family's training, she was one of only two survivors; her exceptional endurance and ability to remember a weapon's structure made her suitable to receive the Weapon-Weapon Fruit. 50 109
While serving the Donquixote Family, she meets Conrad during the conflict on Minion Island. Conrad publicly declares that he needs her, and she immediately answers his request to become a spear against Vergo. Their combined assault defeats Vergo, establishing the bond that defines her later choices. 4 5 6
After escaping the Donquixote Family with Conrad, she is rescued by the Marines but treated as a criminal because of her past killings. Vice Admiral Tsuru allows Conrad to seek responsibility for her only if he can earn Tsuru's trust within a year; Baby-5 is subsequently supervised by Kujaku at Marineford. 7 8 10 13
Conrad's promise to care for her gives Baby-5 a sense of belonging she had never experienced. She later becomes engaged to him on her thirteenth birthday and ultimately marries him. 15 146 251
During the war against Big Mom's forces, Baby-5 awakens her Devil Fruit to protect Conrad's allies. Near the final conflict with Imu, she merges with Pluton despite the strain on both herself and her unborn child. Their son, Kang Tianbao, is eventually born after Conrad uses Cellular Recombination to restore him. 221 268 270 273 274
Appearance
Baby-5 is initially described as petite and delicate, with black hair and black eyes. As she grows older, she becomes slender and radiant, commonly appearing in dresses—particularly red ones. 5 25 251 268
- Black hair and black eyes. 5 274
- Wore a borrowed dress from Kujaku after arriving at Marineford. 13
- Frequently wears red dresses in later arcs. 25 268
- Her body can liquefy and reform into weapons through the Weapon-Weapon Fruit. 221 222
Personality
Baby-5's deepest emotional need is to be needed. Her abandonment and indoctrination by the Donquixote Family left her vulnerable to anyone who framed a demand as dependence; Lao G explicitly identifies this as a flaw ingrained more deeply than her past slavery. 15 66
Conrad's acceptance gradually changes this trait from indiscriminate obedience into fiercely focused loyalty. When Lao G orders her to return to the Donquixote Family because they “need” her, she refuses to abandon Conrad. 66
She is compassionate, trusting, and willing to risk herself for people she considers hers. She remains beside Conrad when his Heart Demon threatens to overwhelm him, rescues Nico Robin from captivity, and refuses Imu's offer to join him. 38 63 270
Despite her innocence and attachment to Conrad, Baby-5 develops notable resolve. When the Charlotte Family threatens Conrad's companions, she answers by awakening her Fruit and ordering them to retreat or die. 221

Weapon-Weapon Fruit Awakening
Her awakening expands her power beyond transforming her own body, allowing her to weaponize the surrounding environment.
- Armament: Citywide Alert converts terrain into a coordinated forest of steel weapons and gun barrels. 221

- Coats a fingertip in Armament Haki as proof that she can defend herself. 176

- Maintains the Boundary Dome, a light-energy defensive barrier that resists powerful attacks. 271
- Can split her focus across multiple weapon systems, including missile launchers and Gatling lasers. 270
