Introduction[]
Personality[]
As a child Linilin was truly a kind and caring little girl, who wanted to do good for the world. However, because of her monstrous strength, this would in most cases end in disastrous results as she slapped a bear for devouring a wolf, accidentally killing it in the process. She also fractured a giant's bones while trying to smack a mosquito on him.
However, because Mother Carmel and Streusen did not teach her any morals or right from wrong, she grew more selfish and cruel over time. As well as taking advantage of her innocent nature and incredible Strength. This resulted in having some of these tendencies as an adult. Being childish and crying like an infant when Mother Carmel photo is damaged.
Linlin has huge appetite for sweets, cakes and other sorts of goodies. As she will demands payment from her protected territories in with metric tons of whatever kind of confectionery or pastry they can produce. This goes as far that she will destroy entire countries if they fail to deliver them. Her love for sweets is so great that she holds lives, her crew and children in less importance. Despite this, she did not lose control when Luffy claimed to have eaten all the candy that Fish-Man Island owed her; instead, she correctly deduced that he was lying in order to protect Fish-Man Island. However on rare occasions she is will to accept alternate forms of payment such as treasure, though this does mean she will seek revenge in some form on the person who angered as she threated Luffy after which he offered his treasure in exchange.
Also stemming for her love of sweets is her love of hosting tea parties, which she dearly looks forward to from the bottom of her heart as noted by Jinbe. Thus, Big Mom is extremely generous to people who attend her tea parties, joyfully offering a large variety of pastry delicacies and extravagant drinks for them to eat and drink as much as they want and can be murderously enraged if her tea parties are ruined in any way. This stems to guests who fail to make said parties for any reason and will kill the invitee's loved one if they fail to show.
History (One Piece Manga)[]
Charlotte Linlin as a child
Linlin was born to two human parents, but she was large even as a child. When she was five, unbeknownst to her, her parents had exiled her from her country due her uncontrollable behaviors and many casualties she unintentionally caused, and her parents were forced to abandon her in the country of Elbaf which is the homeland of the Giants.

During her stay, Linlin was prone to physically hurting her housemates. On one occasion, she tried to help a wolf and a bear get along, but she accidentally killed the bear after it ate the wolf. Despite Linlin's mistakes, Carmel understood and forgave her regardless.
On the day of the winter solstice festival, which celebrated the death and rebirth of the sun, Linlin along the other Sheep's House residents were invited by the villagers to take part in a feast. While their Linlin instantly fell in the sweet that severed at feast called semla which she gobbled down with fierce passion.

Linlin suffered through this, but try to endure for Mother Caramel. On the seventh day, she finally snapped and went on a rampage to get semla. She destroyed around half of the village injuring many Giants without getting a scratch. Linlin's actions were deemed to be heresy by Jorl, who attacked her despite Carmel's pleas. However, Linlin shattered Jorl's sword with her bare hands before grabbing him by the beard and throwing him into the ground, fatally injuring him. After feeding the semla to her, she fell a sleep. Later when she awoke she had no memory of her rampage causing the giants to hate her even more.
Afterwards Mother Carmel took her and the rest of the Sheep's House residents to another island to quell the giants' wrath, where things returned to normal. There, they celebrated Linlin's sixth birthday with a tea party and croquembouche. An excited Linlin cried tears of joy and devoured the meal, being unable to see past her tears.

During the term of her pregnancy, said husband of the current year stays with her, but upon successfully giving birth, she would swiftly discard the husband, without so much as allowing him to hold the child or children once, let alone taking a part in raising them. All of them meant nothing to her as she considered them to be "outsiders" who have no connection to the Charlotte Family, a mentality she passed down to some of her children, whom she gave permission to kill these ex-husbands.

Powers and Abilities[]
Haki[]
Swordsmanship[]
Napoleon can take the form of a sword, with the handle at its bottom and the blade at its top, which allows it to attack on its own or be grabbed and wielded by Big Mom. It can also transfer its soul into its blade, becoming a sword homie. When doing this, Napoleon can freely manipulate the shape of the sword, even making it stretch by a great amount. The types of swords Napoleon has turned into so far are a cutlass, longsword, and a seax.
- Cognac (皇帝剣 (コニャック) Konyakku?, literally meaning "Emperor Blade"): Napoleon becomes a seax, with a serrated tip, and the homie's teeth becoming sharper. It is able to ignite itself with the flames of Prometheus to increase its offensive power. Napoleon is capable of extending this form at will, being able to stretch to the entire length of the Thousand Sunny at least.
- Technique
- Ikoku (威国 Ikoku?, literally meaning "Mighty Nation"): Napoleon takes the form of a longsword as Big Mom swings it with such force that she creates a shockwave that destroys everything in its path, enough to pierce through a large part of Whole Cake Island. The speed and range of this attack is such that King Baum, a noted fast runner, could not completely avoid it in time, losing about a third of his face to the wave. Befitting its description as "Spear of Elbaf" (エルバフの槍Erubafu no Yari?), and as noted by Luffy, it is very similar to Dorry and Brogy's combination attack, "Hakoku". In the Viz manga, it is called Ikoku Sovereignty.
- Senkōba:
Devil Fruit[]
Soul-Soul Fruit:
Applications[]
- Homies: The Homies are the result of infusing the collected soul portions into animals and objects, who are subsequently anthropomorphized. The fragments cannot revive dead humans or enter living ones. Also, they are unable to approach something infused with Big Mom's own soul, the incredible presence and power of which only they can sense. Finally, they are weak against the power of the Yomi Yomi no Mi. According to Linlin, powerful homies can also be created by using the soul of powerful individuals aside from her own as she intend to steal Chitsujo king of Menou soul to create a powerful homie.
Technique[]
- Soul Pocus (魂への言葉 (ソウル・ポーカス) Souru Pōkasu?, Literally "Words to the Soul"): Big Mom speaks directly to the human soul's attachment to life, while striking fear into her opponent. She will demand that the person either give her what she desires or give her their lifespan. If the person fears death for even a moment, Big Mom will be able to take their lifespan in any amount that she chooses; she can even take a person's entire remaining lifespan, instantly killing them. However, if the person is completely fearless when they choose to have their lifespan taken, Big Mom will be unable to do so, nullifying the technique. It was first seen used against Chitsujo, but was unaffected due to Chitsujo being unafraid of Big Mom. The Incarnations are capable of using a lesser version of this technique, where they take a month of every Totto Land citizen's lifespan if they wish to stay in Totto Land. Unlike Big Mom's other usages, the people will have their lifespans removed if they choose to do so; it is unknown if fear plays a role in this. This technique's name might partially come from the magical incantation pronounced by magicians, "Hocus Pocus".
- Heavenly Feuer (天上の火 (ヘブンリーフォイアー) Hebunrī Foiā?): Big Mom grabs Prometheus and throws it at her target, creating a large, fiery explosion. It is powerful enough to hurt someone who is using a fire-resistant Raid Suit. It was first used against Chitsujo.
- Raitei (雷霆 Raitei?, literally meaning "Thunderbolt"): Big Mom summons Zeus around her left hand and then slams it down on her opponent, striking them with a massive bolt of lightning. It was first used against Chitsujo. In the Viz Manga, this is called Thunderbolt.
