Description
Baby 5 is a character from the Donquixote Family, where she served as a maid and an assassin. She is a tall, young woman with a slender figure and long black hair, often dressed in a burgundy, frilled maid outfit and seen smoking a cigarette. Her code name, as the number suggests, reflects her place within the Family's hierarchy.
Her most defining characteristic is an intense, pathological need to feel wanted. This stems from a traumatic childhood where her impoverished mother abandoned her, declaring that she was useless and a waste of food. After being taken in by the Donquixote Family, this deep-seated trauma manifested as an inability to refuse any request from anyone who says they "need" her. Whether asked for money, marriage, or to perform a task, she interprets it as validation of her worth and eagerly agrees, regardless of the consequences. This compulsive behavior has led her to amass a debt of 98 million berries, subscribe to fifty newspapers she does not read, and accept multiple marriage proposals from unscrupulous men. These fiancés are typically killed by Doflamingo, who views them as unworthy, an act that causes Baby 5 to briefly rage against him before she ultimately forgives him.
Baby 5 is a感性 (emotional) and somewhat dramatic person, referring to herself with the brash pronoun "ore-sama." She is prone to tears when frustrated or sad, and can be quick to anger. Despite her loyalty to the Family, her desperation for affection makes her easily swayed.
In combat, she is a formidable fighter, having eaten the Buki Buki no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that transforms her body into weapons. She can turn her limbs into guns or blades, or her entire form into larger projectiles like missiles or a sword. She often coordinates her attacks with her partner, Buffalo, who can fly and throw her transformed body at enemies. Among her named techniques are transforming her leg into a pistol, her upper body into a missile as Missile Girl, or her legs into a sickle as Sickle Girl.
Within the Donquixote Family, Baby 5 has a complicated dynamic. She considers Doflamingo her savior and is deeply loyal, though she frequently clashes with him over his habit of killing her fiancés. She grew up alongside other members like Trafalgar Law and Buffalo, and though she and Law often argued when they were young, with her quickly backing down when he glared at her, she also showed him sympathy.
During the Dressrosa arc, Baby 5 is sent to fight the Happo Navy's Sai. When Sai shouts that he "needs" her to die so she will stop interfering, she misinterprets this as a sincere request born of need. She prepares to commit suicide with her own powers to fulfill this perceived wish. Her actions cause Sai and his grandfather, Lao G, to intervene. Sai knocks her out of the way and, in a moment of frustration, declares he now "needs" her to become his wife. This genuine proposal breaks through her twisted logic. Lao G, who also cares for her, declares he would have married her as well, leading to a comedic fight between the two men.
This event marks her pivotal character development. She abandons the Donquixote Family and later marries Sai, becoming the wife of the 13th leader of the Happo Navy and a member of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet. This relationship provides her with the genuine sense of purpose and being wanted that she had always craved, giving her a healthy and happy resolution to her lifelong psychological struggle.
