Forty-seven years ago, on Whole Cake Island, Effilee was born as the youngest of sororal quadruplets, with elder sisters Mondée and Amande, and younger sister Effilee. Her lineage is a blend of Big Mom and a mysterious Snakeneck man.
Effilee was at a big party where Charlotte Pudding and Sanji were getting married. The plan to hurt Sanji failed, and Charlotte Perospero used candy to trap the Vinsmoke Family. Then, Effilee and other assassins planned to attack the trapped family.
However, their plan was stopped when two other people named Capone Bege and Monkey D. Luffy caused Big Mom to make a loud scream that paralyzed everyone. This helped the Vinsmoke Family escape from the candy trap.
Effilee and her group then tried to shoot the Vinsmokes, but the Vinsmokes fought back using special suits. The Big Mom Pirates were winning the fight, but the Tamatebako exploded, and the place they were on fell down. Luckily, Streusen turned part of the Chateau into cake, and everyone was okay.
Later, Effilee went to Nuts Island and watched as her sister Amande tried to stop their mom who was acting crazy. Another time, when Luffy and Brulee were running away from Big Mom, Effilee broke a mirror with her gun. She shot at Luffy, but he bounced the bullets back, scaring her and causing her to miss. Luffy got away, and Effilee was about to shoot again, but Brulee yelled to stop her. Effilee chased Luffy, but he got away by jumping on roofs.
Effilee was Big Mom and their crew as they tried to go to Wano Country. They were on the Queen Mama Chanter, trying to climb a waterfall. But King attacked them, and their ship fell back down. As the ship fell down, Big Mom got separated from her crew and went missing.
Later, Effilee's brothers and sisters talked about what to do since Big Mom was missing. Effilee stood on the ship and looked out at the sea.
The crew later found out that Big Mom had teamed up with Kaido. At the Fire Festival, they tried to go to Wano Country again by climbing the waterfall, but Marco knocked their ship down.
Effilee's personality centers around family and loyalty. She willingly took part in a plan to bring down the Vinsmoke Family, highlighting her strong commitment to her crew and kin.
When it comes to her family, she's incredibly protective and caring. She stood by her sister Amande's side during a crisis, aiding in the evacuation of their island's residents. Her actions underscore her deep sense of responsibility toward her loved ones. She also showed her dedication by attempting to rescue her younger half-sister, Brûlée, from a difficult situation.
Even amidst intense situations, Effilee's priorities are clear. She refrained from firing at Luffy when given the opportunity, concerned about accidentally hurting her sister. This demonstrates her unwavering concern for her family's safety.
In the Funimation dub, Effilee sports a cowgirl accent, which adds a distinct and spirited touch to her character.
Effilee is a tall, thin woman with a long, snake-like neck. Her square head contrasts with her long, wavy blue hair that cascades down her back. She wears an open dark purple jacket, exposing her chest and cleavage, along with a bandolier across her chest.
Her dark purple vertically striped pants match her jacket, and she sports a dark purple bowler hat. An ammunition belt is wrapped around her waist. This attire highlights her sensuality, while the bowler hat adds a touch of sophistication.
Effilee is a commanding figure in the Big Mom Pirates, overseeing lower-ranking crew members. Her strength is implied by her officer status in an Emperor's crew.
She has a strong will and she can even resist Big Mom's Haoshoku Haki burst and remain conscious after Big Mom's deafening scream.
She was also seen using Walker, a .36 Caliber Percussion handgun when she tried to assassinate the Vinsmoke Family.
Effilee, derived from "Amande Effilee" meaning "flaked almond" in French, aligns with the food-themed names of the Charlotte Family and Big Mom Pirates.
Just like her quadruplet sisters, her name is also inspired by almond dishes.
