Overview
Camie is a kissing gourami mermaid featured in the manga and anime series ONE PIECE. Aspiring to become a fashion designer, she initially worked at the floating takoyaki stand Takoyaki 8 run by her close friend Hatchan before later becoming a waitress at Madame Shyarly's Mermaid Cafe on Fish-Man Island. After encountering the Straw Hat Pirates near the Sabaody Archipelago, she became a recurring friend and key ally to the crew during their journey.
Appearance
Camie is a kissing gourami mermaid standing 197 cm tall. She possesses short green hair, brown eyes, and a voluptuous bust. Her attire typically consists of sleeveless shirts or tank tops paired with jewelry accessories. When subjected to extreme shock, her face distorts in an exaggerated comedic fashion, with her eyes popping out of their sockets, her mouth stretching wide open, and her tongue waving erratically.
Personality
Extremely innocent and soft-hearted, Camie possesses a trusting nature that leaves her incredibly gullible and prone to being easily deceived. She has a signature speech habit of adding the affectionate suffix "-chin" to the names of those she considers close. While completely oblivious to passionate attention from admirers, she displays a flustered, blushing reaction whenever someone suggests a romantic bond between her and Hatchan.
Abilities
As a mermaid, Camie possesses high-speed swimming capabilities that allow her to rescue individuals—including Devil Fruit users—who have fallen into the sea. She is also studying apparel design under her mentor Pappag, providing him with clams in exchange for guidance in garment design. Additionally, she demonstrates practical caretaking skills, nursing the injured Hatchan and offering crucial support to the Straw Hat Pirates during combat.
Background
Hailing from the Ryugu Kingdom on Fish-Man Island, Camie was originally saved from inside a Sea King by Hatchan, after which she began working at his floating takoyaki stand, Takoyaki 8. Upon being swallowed by a Sea King once more, she met the Straw Hat Pirates and persuaded them to rescue Hatchan from captivity. She later accompanied the crew to the Sabaody Archipelago to assist in finding a ship-coating mechanic, but was kidnapped and put up for auction at a human shop. Silvers Rayleigh rescued her by dismantling her explosive collar. Two years later, having transitioned to working at Madame Shyarly's Mermaid Cafe, she welcomed the Straw Hats to Fish-Man Island and provided assistance during their battle against the New Fish-Man Pirates.
Relationships
Hatchan is her savior and close companion, whom she worked with at his takoyaki stand and nursed back to health when injured. Pappag serves as her fashion design mentor and protective guardian, constantly minding her due to her naive nature. She owes a great debt to Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates, who rescued her on several occasions. Silvers Rayleigh directly saved her life at the auction house by removing her explosive collar. Two years later, she works under Madame Shyarly at the Mermaid Cafe.
Trivia
Her birthday on November 3rd is based on a Japanese wordplay combining the 11th letter of the alphabet K and the digit 3 pronounced as mi. Her favorite food is sea kelp brulee (Wakame brulee). Owing to her gullibility, she has been swallowed by Sea Kings around 20 times and captured by the Macro Pirates over 30 times. When first interacting with Brook, the skeleton musician asked her for a monetary loan rather than his signature request to see a woman's underwear.
