• Wears a pink slip dress when first shown 26.
• Has purple eye shadow and a wide mouth; her drool can corrode the floor 26 38.

Personality

Big Mom demands obedience from her children and treats threats to her crew as insults to her authority. After Oven’s death, she blames Katakuri for failing to bring back the Marine responsible, then orders him to bring her Atlas’s head. Perospero’s intervention persuades her to spare Katakuri, showing that she can restrain her anger when the crew’s interests require it 37.

She is indifferent to casualties among her own forces. During the battle in Totto Land, her lightning and fire strike allied troops as well as enemies; afterward, she calls her children useless despite losses partly caused by her attacks 39 40. Her ambition extends beyond her newly awarded emperor title: she declares that she intends to become Pirate King 40.
