29 years ago, Charlotte Praline was born to Charlotte Linlin, also known as Big Mom and her 22nd husband. She was born alongside her older twin sister, Prim. After the events of the Summit War of Marineford, Praline entered into a marriage alliance with Aladine, a member of the Sun Pirates.
During a discussion among the Sun Pirates about Jinbe's intention to leave the Big Mom Pirates and join Luffy's crew, Praline became upset, thinking that Aladine wanted to leave her. However, Aladine assured her that he would negotiate with Big Mom but emphasized that he would always choose Praline over their alliance.
Praline expressed her unwavering support for him and embraced him. When Jinbe inquired about the consequences of leaving Big Mom's crew, Praline warned him that anyone who dared to speak of such defiance had met a dire fate.
After meeting with Big Mom, Jinbe refused to participate in the roulette wheel and rejoined the Sun Pirates, who had saved Pekoms. Upon learning of Capone Bege's plan to attack Big Mom at the wedding, Praline, and the Sun Pirates decided to take advantage of the chaos and escape to Fish-Man Island.
Three days later, Praline and the Sun Pirates watched over Pekoms as he recovered on the eastern side of Whole Cake Island. Just before the wedding commenced, the crew secured Pekoms to a rock as they prepared to depart from Whole Cake Island.
Once they left Whole Cake Island, Praline used her enchanting singing voice to neutralize the territorial sea slugs, rendering them ineffective and aiding the escape of their allies. Hours later, Praline accompanied the Sun Pirates to Cacao Island to assist Jinbe and the Straw Hat Pirates.
After Jinbe made the decision to stay behind, the Sun Pirates ensured the safe getaway of the Thousand Sunny. However, before they could retreat, Big Mom arrived at Cacao Island, posing a new threat to their escape.
Praline's possessive nature becomes evident through her strong reactions when faced with the possibility of Aladine leaving her. She is quick to anger, fearing the loss of her husband's loyalty. However, beneath this possessiveness lies a genuine and deep love for Aladine.
Her affection for him surpasses her loyalty to her own mother, Charlotte Linlin (Big Mom), as she expresses her willingness to abandon her mother's crew if the Sun Pirates choose to separate from them.
While Praline's possessiveness can be intense, she also possesses a playful and mischievous side. This is evident when the Sun Pirates successfully foil the Big Mom Pirates' plot to harm the Straw Hat Pirates.
In that moment of triumph, Praline cheerfully laughs and waves back at her own family, gleefully mocking them for their failed scheme. This playful gesture showcases her joy and amusement at their defeat.
Furthermore, like many individuals in the One Piece world, Praline has a distinct and unique laughter style. Her laughter is characterized by the sound "Shashasha," setting her apart and adding to her individuality.
Praline's complex personality showcases a range of emotions, from possessiveness and love to playfulness and mockery. These traits contribute to her depth as a character, making her intriguing and memorable within the One Piece universe.
Charlotte Praline is a striking figure as a large mermaid with unique features. She possesses freckles that adorn her face, complementing her light blue eyes. Her long, lustrous blonde hair is pulled back into a bun at the back, concealing what lies beneath—a long appendage resembling the distinctive shape of a hammerhead shark's head. The mysterious nature of this section of hair leaves one curious about its secrets.
Praline's enchanting appearance continues with her captivating mermaid tail. The dark-colored tail is adorned with a delicate, frilly piece of clothing at the front, adding a touch of elegance to her aquatic form. Her fashion sense extends to her attire above the waterline, where she dons a dark open jacket adorned with vibrant flowers along the edges.
While her charming exterior is mesmerizing, it is her unique dental structure that catches the eye. Praline's mouth holds pointed teeth, reminiscent of the fearsome jaws of a hammerhead shark. This feature adds an intriguing aspect to her already captivating appearance.
Standing tall and proud, Praline's stature is remarkable, surpassing that of her husband, Aladine. Her height measures an impressive 26 feet and 3 inches, emphasizing her commanding presence and distinctiveness among others.
Praline, a half-mermaid with remarkable abilities, can breathe underwater, swim swiftly, and communicate with fish. Her powerful voice can captivate sea slugs across the Totto Land archipelago.
Formerly the Minister of Design on Unique Island, she had the power of authority over Unique Island and held a powerful position in the family.
Praline, despite being born into the illustrious Charlotte Family, harbors a deep loyalty towards her beloved husband, Aladine, surpassing any allegiance she holds for her own mother, the fearsome Big Mom. Her devotion to Aladine is such that when she became aware of Bege's plot to assassinate Big Mom, she chose to remain silent and even aided the Sun Pirates in concealing Jinbe's involvement from Pekoms, a member of her mother's crew.
Praline fearlessly opposes her formidable mother, unabated by the knowledge of her ruthlessness and cruelty. In an act of defiance against her mother's authority, Praline actively hindered Big Mom's crew by preventing them from tracking their escaped enemies after the chaotic events on Whole Cake Island.
Fully aware of the risks involved, she used her skills and resources to impede the pursuit, displaying a resolute determination to protect those who dared to challenge her mother's reign. Taking her commitment a step further, Praline allied herself with the Sun Pirates, a group that shared her ideals and aspirations for freedom.
Together, they united in aiding the Straw Hat Pirates in their audacious escape from Big Mom's clutches. Praline's involvement in this perilous endeavor showcased her bravery and unwavering resolve, highlighting her willingness to stand against her own family and support those who dared to challenge the oppressive regime of the Big Mom Pirates.
As a consequence of her choices, Praline has irreversibly severed ties with her own family, becoming an official enemy in the eyes of the Big Mom Pirates. The successful rescue of the Straw Hats, facilitated by Praline and the Sun Pirates, culminated in a defiant farewell gesture from Praline towards her siblings.
Her nonchalant wave provoked a storm of fury within Galette, Oven, Mash, and Cornstach, highlighting the deep rift that now separates her from her once-intimate kin.
Praline's love and loyalty for her husband, Aladine, knows no bounds. Her devotion to him is so profound that she harbors worries that he might one day leave her. Such is the depth of their affection that Praline openly displays her love for Aladine, as witnessed by the loving embrace she shared with him in front of the entire Sun Pirates crew.
This unabashed demonstration of their bond evokes mixed reactions from the other members, some of whom feel a tad uncomfortable witnessing their passionate affection.
When Aladine made the decision to depart from Whole Cake Island alongside the Sun Pirates, Praline stood firmly by his side. Her unwavering commitment led her to join him on this audacious journey, defying the dangers that lay ahead. Together, they embarked on a mission to aid the Straw Hat Pirates in their daring escape from the clutches of Big Mom.
Praline's amiable nature extends beyond her relationship with Aladine. She shares a warm camaraderie with the Sun Pirates, considering them not only as allies but also as friends. However, she was disheartened when they attempted to keep their intentions of breaking away from the Big Mom Pirates a secret from her.
Praline believed in the strength of their bond and felt that they should share their secrets with her, reinforcing her desire for open communication and transparency within their group. While her genuine affection for Aladine could occasionally make some members of the Sun Pirates feel bashful or uneasy, they recognized the depth of their connection.
As tensions within Big Mom's crew escalated, Praline discovered Jinbe's intention to depart from her mother's ranks. Although she allowed him the freedom to follow his own path, she also issued a cautionary warning, alluding to the grim fate that often befalls those who dare to abandon Big Mom's crew.
Praline's knowledge of Jinbe's involvement in Bege's plot to assassinate Big Mom led her to aid the Sun Pirates in maintaining secrecy, shielding Jinbe's role from Pekoms, another member of Big Mom's crew.
Following the successful escape of Jinbe and his group from Whole Cake Island, Praline utilized her captivating voice to enchant the territorial sea slugs. Her mesmerizing powers prevented the Big Mom Pirates from tracking down their fleeing adversaries, adding another layer of protection to their escape.
