| ~ Rebecca |
Rebecca, also known as the Undefeated Woman and the Phantom Princess, is one of the supporting characters of the Dressrosa Arc in the anime and manga franchise One Piece. She is the former crown princess of Dressrosa, the daughter of the famous gladiator Kyros and the late Scarlett (who was killed by Diamante), the niece and lady-in-waiting of Viola and the granddaughter of Riku Doldo III and Riku Matriarch.
She is voiced by Megumi Hayashibara in Japanese and Christine Marie Cabanos in English.
Appearance[]
Rebecca is a young and beautiful 16-year-old girl, with an average much shorter than Luffy and has long pink hair, with a braid she wears.
In her gladiator appearance, Rebecca wears a yellow scale armor bikini, with a paludament, a helmet, gloves, high-heeled armor and a necklace. Under the helmet, her braid splits off into two strands starting at her temple.
Rebecca once wore a white dress, a yellow necklace and sandals, before the tournament. As a child, Rebecca once wore a small kid-sized boat and her hair was much shorter, before her teenage years.
Personality[]
Rebecca is a calm and proud female gladiator who holds a grudge toward the infamous Doflamingo and wishes to obtain the Flame-Flame fruit to fight and kill him in order to save her country. She is really bothered by other people, who scold and mock at her. She is polite to others and is very emotional, mostly in tears, and expresses other forms of weakness and she doesn't like expressing them to others. Rebecca is very deeply kind, to the bottom of her heart, having been taught by her mother.
Rebecca held a strong disdain for violence, so was reluctant and even refused to undertake combat training from Toy Soldier (her father, Kyros, transformed by Sugar, which also erased her memory of him while he is in toy form). Eventually, she acquiesced to Soldier's training, but lacked natural fighting talent, so would often end up in tears; however, she managed to train into becoming a formidable warrior, although still lacked a killer instinct, which would frequently cause her greater challenges.
Despite being forced into gladiatorial matches, Rebecca refuses to kill her opponents due to wanting to adhere to her mother's lesson to be compassionate and her own moral code, thus forcing her fighting style to be defensive and using an opponent's own momentum to throw them out of the ring. The only exceptions are Diamante, for murdering Scarlet, and Doflamingo due to him being the architect of the displacement of her family and him corrupting her nation from above and within; albeit, she understands her own limits, hence her aim to acquire the Flame Flame Fruit.
Rebecca's kindness gathers strong loyalty and admiration from gladiators who were once in the Royal Guard; despite her attempt to disable Lucy (Luffy undercover), her generous offer of what little food she had herself convinced him to support her goal with all his heart - therefore, showing that even when she is tempted to cheat the rules that are so unfairly bent against her, she lacks the coldness to succeed at being cruel, and will instead sacrifice her own resources even to a stranger.
Like Nefertari Vivi and Shirahoshi, she extremely admires Luffy for his heroic actions, swiftly becoming friends with the other princesses saved and inspired by Luffy. She also refused to believe that Luffy kidnapped Dr. Vegapunk when knowing the World Government are liars.
Trivia[]
- Rebecca is the third princess that Luffy befriends and helps save their country.
- In the English dub, Rebecca - like other members of the Dressrosa Royal Family - speaks with a Spanish accent, befitting the partially Spain-based influences inspired for Dressrosa culture, flora, and fauna.
