@RPGJay:
Less then Tilestone actually.
The appeal is tits. That's pretty much what's behind her arguments.
Not at all. Although i can only speak for myself.
With Nami and Robin there's already enough fan service. And if i just wanted more tits i would also be supporting any other female character as well. Heck Hancock got even bigger boobs.
I like many aspects of her. and i have various reasons for why i would like her to join. To list some:
Her funny and playful side. For example her fight with Ussop. She was fooling around a lot, and even cheering him on. It was quite hilarious. The fact that she like toys and treasure also shows off her playful side.
Her spoiled and bossy side would add variety to the crew. there is not yet such a character. And i can imagine when interacting with the crew it could be hilarious, if played out well. I'm sure Oda can pull it off.
She showed a lot of different moods/emotions. She can have fun, but she can also be depressed. She can have a big attitude, act and talk manly. But also panic, cower, run away, beg for mercy.
She can show all kinds of emotions and facial expressions, for example: happy, sad, laugh, cry, angry, scared, shocked, annoyed, amazed, show compassion, feel lonely. Also its funny how her ghosts goes along with it.
Her previous character design was great. IMO Gothic lolita is a horrible fashion in real life, But a cartoony version of it can look nice. Her ghosts are cool. Her new design is WOW! amazing!
Her ability can add a lot to the crew. Such as scouting, Long range communication, long ranged attacks. And i'm sure Oda could use it in many creative ways i couldn't even come up with.
No matter if you look at her personality, character design, abilities. She's very different from any Straw Hat, and would add a lot to the crew's variety.
