Boa Sandersonia

Appearance

Sandersonia is a large woman who resembles a snake, with a curvaceous figure and large breasts like her sisters. Her head is disproportionately large and wide to her body and her long tongue is forked, often sticking out of her mouth and has sea green eyes (amber in snake form).

Like the rest of the Kuja, she dresses in very revealing clothing: a green bikini top with white irregular patterns, a white cape over it and green panties encircled by flaps at both sides of her hips. She wears brown boots and a green stocking on her left leg with a design which resembles the Kuja Pirates' Jolly Roger.

She is usually seen accompanied by the large panther, Bacura, at her side instead of a snake like the other Kuja. Along with her sisters, her beauty is highly admired by the Amazon Lily islanders.[1] In her younger days, Sandersonia was an average height teen who wore orange skirt and green top.[5]

Sandersonia wore a tan bra that seems to be bandaged of some sort, after her clothes were burned during the fight against Monkey D. Luffy.

At Rusukaina, Sandersonia’s attire does not change, with the exception of her cape and the designs of her bikini, which take the form of snake scales.

On her back, covered by her cape and her long green hair, is a mark of slavery branded on her by their previous Celestial Dragon masters. It resembles a hoof mark and is a sign that means that she is "less than human" since she was a slave. Her sisters share this mark as well on their backs.[6][7]

Personality

Sandersonia appears very fond of her sister Hancock, as noted by the fact she laughed at her sister's "twisted" personality. While she appears to be living on the lie that her sisters and herself defeated a Gorgon to gain their curse, at the same time, she has not actually told a lie herself, unlike Hancock who is constantly lying. Sandersonia is the most emotional of the 3 sisters and highly emotional about their horrible past, her crying had to be eased by her sister Marigold and drove her to collapse onto the floor.

Due to her slave brand's shameful meaning, Sandersonia and her sisters made their fellow Kuja believe that on their backs were a set of eyes she and her sisters received as part of a curse for slaying the Gorgon. They told them that these eyes turned anyone who sees them into stone. If any of the Kuja found out the truth, Sandersonia and her sisters would be forced to leave the island.

In battle, Sandersonia is a playful warrior who teases and torments her victims before she crushes them. However, she is prone to underestimating her opponents, as seen by Luffy using second gear and Haōshoku Haki.

Relationships: Family Her Sisters, Gloriosa

Sandersonia is close with her sisters Boa Hancock and Boa Marigold. Having experienced the same cruel treatment by the hands of the World Nobles, they protect the secret on their backs from anyone, including the various islanders of Amazon Lily. After the Marines and Blackbeard's invasion, Hancock would endanger Sandersonia and Marigold's lives if she stays at Amazon Lily when she decided to leave and reunite with Luffy in order to protect her little sisters.

Unlike her sister Hancock, Sandersonia has respects for Gloriosa and owe her a debt for taking her and her sisters back home after escaping the World Noble.

Friends Shakuyaku Silvers Rayleigh Monkey D. Luffy

As the previous empress who is one of her sister's predecessors, Sandersonia has a strong respects for Shakuyaku. Shakuyaku hidden Sonia and her sisters from the World Nobles and sent them back home. Sandersonia claimed that Shakky for Rayleigh about Hancock's love and devotion for Luffy. After her sister Hancock lost her title as a Warlord, Shakky and Rayleigh arrived at Amazon Lily to aid Sonia and the Kujas as well as drove both the Marines and the Blackbeard Pirates out. Shakky advised Sonia and her sisters about Vegapunk's latest invention and tells that Calm Belt is no longer safe as long as Hancock stays. When Hancock decided to leave Amazon Lily for her reunion with Luffy, Shakky was entrusted of guarding Sandersonia, the Kujas and Amazon Lily while Hancock is away.

Sandersonia is good friends with Silvers Rayleigh since he helped shelter her and her sisters after they escaped from the World Nobles. After Ace's death, Sonia and her sisters reunited with Rayleigh. After her sister Hancock lost her title as a Warlord, Sonia and the other were saved by Rayleigh and his wife, former empress Shakuyaku. When Hancock decided to leave Amazon Lily for her reunion with Luffy, Sonia and the other Kujas are under the protection of Rayleigh.

Sandersonia originally was antagonistic towards Monkey D. Luffy, as seen in their battle. However, she was amazed at his ability to use Haoshoku Haki but this didn't change her mind until he protected her and her sisters by covering her slave mark before it was exposed to the other Kujas. Sandersonia came to respect Luffy after he requested for the three Kujas to be turned back from stone than being selfish, learning that he struck a World Noble, and when he showed no scorn towards the Gorgon Sisters for being former slaves. After Luffy requested Hancock to help him rescue his brother Ace, Sandersonia and Marigold were both angry at him until Hancock accepted his wish, leaving those two shocked.

Enemies World Government

Like her sisters Hancock and Marigold, Sandersonia considers the World Government as an enemy due to her and her sisters being slaves of the World Nobles.

She is shown to have a strong will, being able to resist Luffy's Haoshoku Haki.[10]

Devil Fruit

While she was a slave of the World Nobles, Sandersonia and her sisters were force-fed Devil Fruits as a form of sick entertainment.

Sandersonia ate the Hebi Hebi no Mi, Model: Anaconda, a Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows her to transform into an anaconda.[11] She can bind and strike at her opponents with her tail, and her long flexible body can easily bend out of the way of her opponents' attacks.

She can also shape her hair into a number of snakes. The fangs of her hair snakes are strong as steel.

Sandersonia is able to read an opponent's movements and avoid their attacks using Kenbunshoku Haki, having mastered it to a point she can seamlessly dodge attacks at high speed.[12] However, it is useless if said opponent is drastically faster than she is, such as Luffy in Gear 2.[13]
