APPEARANCE
Dakota is a tall, lean and toned, beautiful woman with bright red hair that falls around her shoulders, that she always has in different hairstyles to suit her mood and outfits. She has smooth fair skin that is flawless even though she has been shot, stabbed and the like, though she has three tattoos that have significant meaning for her. The first one she got after she left the village was a bunch of roses tattooed on her right shoulder that she got for the memory for her mother as they were her favourite flower. The second tattoo was three small star tattoos on her left eyebrow that signify her three younger brothers that are always on her mind, no matter the distance. The third tattoo was a watercoloured pink, blue, and purple compass tattoo on her left side ribcage that is for her fallen brother, Sabo. She has bright purple eyes that she inherited from her mother, Shanks once told Dakota that the first time he met Anna she was trying to kill him, but he just got lost in her eyes.
Dakota doesn't have an particular style to her outfits as she usually picks whatever she feels like, but usually has some skin showing if she can help it, due to her being overly comfortable with her body. Though she does have a hat like her brothers, she wears a black trilby hat, but she doesn't wear it all the time, liking to show off her hair. She always wears a red beaded bracelet, yellow beaded bracelet, blue beaded bracelet, and white beaded bracelet that symbolise her brothers and herself, though she got upset as she wanted to red, but she let Luffy have it due to him being her baby brother, she'd do anything for.
PERSONALITY
Dakota as a child was rather mature for her age, having to grow up without a mother, she had to look after her father, due to his depressed state, but when he found her crying alone one night after holding in all her emotions. Shanks told her to act like a kid and as she grew up in the mountains with her brothers, she acted as an overly protective big sister, doing anything for her siblings.
As Dakota can be rather snarky to people who show her friends and family disrespect and can be overly protective once she forms a body, being loyal to them. Luffy warned one of the Blue Jam Pirates about his big sister as she hunts for those that hurt her brother, as she is a possessive hot-head, which makes her extremely protective of her family and friends, she even marked Luffy so she will always be able to find him.
Dakota is not always so villainous or emotionless when she is with her friends as she jokes around with them, having fun and keeping an eye on them as they go on their adventures. After growing up with her brothers, she set out the travel at 17, growing in power, becoming cocky and reckless in her power, growing ever more powerful and fearless as she trains in becoming an assassin, which makes her more secretive in nature, though she tries sharing some things with her crewmates.
Dakota as she grows into an intelligent woman, she becomes prideful of her body, enchanting men and women alike with her charming and flawless attitude as she flirts with them. Though she isn't overly flirty, she is bold as she talks to others to whom she finds attractive, but she doesn't just go on appearances she does like to get to know them before anything happens, most of the time.

ABILITIES AND POWERS
Physical Abilities -
Strength: Dakota has high levels of superhuman strength due to her Devil Fruit, even in her human form, having trained for years on not having to rely on only her Devilish powers. When adding her Devilish abilities, she becomes twice if not more stronger, depending on which Demon she uses at the moment, improving her speed in a battle and agility to counter her enemy.
Speed and Agility: Dakota is known for the speed and agility that she learned during her time on Furcas Island becoming an assassin, though when using even her Human-Demon Form she gains even more speed and agility she can use to her advantage.
The 5 Senses: Due to Dakota's Devil Fruit, her senses have been highly tuned allowing her to see in the dark, hear things within a few meters away even a whisper, she can easily taste every ingredient in food, smell even a hint of blood in the air, and her sense of touch is overly sensitive.
Durability: Due to her training as an assassin, Dakota is remarkably durable, she is hard to cause harm to thanks to her tough skin, but it can become almost impossible to cause her harm. Dakota is able to withstand tremendous damage to her body and still continues fighting, because of her intense training and resolve.
Endurance: Dakota has high endurance for pain, due to her training in the mountains and on Furcas Island, the intense training, makes her a worthy fighter as she continues to fight till the end her willpower to win skyrockets as she continues to fight for those she cares about.
Devil Fruit -
When Dakota was younger she found a Devil Fruit on one of her little trips away from her overbearing father and ate the fruit, knowing what the fruit was, to begin with. Dakota learned to harness her abilities as she grew up with the help of her father, but when he left her in Foosha Village, she focused on learning how to use her demons to protect her brothers. The Devil Fruit she ate was the Akuma-Akuma no Mi, making her a Demon Woman, a Mythical Zoan Type allowing her three basic forms, though she can change which demons possess her body.
Human Form: Dakota in her original human form, is her natural form prior to eating the Devil Fruit, she is equally as strong even in her human form, having worked her body to handle the power of the demons.
Human-Demon Form: A hybrid, combining the characteristics of both the users' original species and the fruit-bestowed species into an unusual form. In the hybrid form, Dakota is able to use body parts of different demons that give her a higher boost of power, she may grow claws, tails, wings and horns to help stabilise her power.
Full Demon Form: A form in which the user is fully transformed into the fruit-bestowed species. Dakota is able to change into any Demon she wishes, which can increase her speed to inhuman levels along with her strength and stamina. Depending on which Demon she is using, she can control black and blue flames, known as Hellfire and the elements, earth, wind, water, lightning, and fire. Dakota's demonic aspects are powerful allowing her to use the four elements along with others like lightning and magic with the help of her Demons.
Like all other Devil Fruit users, Dakota loses her strength in non-moving water along with in contact with seastone. Dakota's Full Demon Form can have aquatic aspects but she can only last around 5-10 seconds in the water before she becomes weak and powerless. The Full Demon Form can only be active on full stamina as it debleats rapidly when in use and can only be used up to 20 minutes and takes time to use again, but the time becomes shorter.
Haki -
Dakota learned how to use Haki during her time on Furcas Island as she was only able to handle minor amounts of Haki as she grew up around the powerful crew of the Red Force. She trained in the basics on her Furcas island for 2 years under her grandmother, Mina before leaving and taking jobs as an assassin in a short amount of time, increasing her levels in Haki.
Observational Haki: Which grants users a sixth sense of the world around them and limited precognitive abilities. Users of this Haki can sense people's presence, strength, emotions, and intentions. Dakota is proficient in using observational Haki, she can sense other people around her, but it has its drawbacks as she can only sense them within a certain range.
Armament Haki: Which allows the user to use their own spiritual energy as armour to defend against attacks, as well as make their own attacks more potent. A person can apply the Armament to a section of their body, over their entire body, and even apply their weapons. Dakota is an expert at Armament Haki, thanks to her awakening her Haki at a young age, and Shanks teaches her and later, her uncle Brutis, who specialises in Armament Haki.
Conquering Haki: Which grants the user the ability to overpower the will of others. This results in victims being mentally overwhelmed by the user, with particularly weak-willed foes instantly losing consciousness. Conquering Haki is a rare form of Haki that only one in several million people are born with the ability to use. Dakota is competent in using Conquering Haki as she has the potential to use this Haki, though she can unconsciously use Conquering Haki when feeling the immense danger and protecting her crewmates.
Weapons -
Dakota has an abundance of weapons that she uses for battle and assassinations, ranging from knuckle dusters to bladed weapons. She mostly used her weapons to help assist in her assassination jobs and finds that her Devil Fruit is more suitable once she joins the Straw Hats, though if she finds an opponent stronger that what she can handle in her Full Demon Form for the short time she can hold it, then she will use any weapon in her arsenal.
Skills -
Weapons Master: Dakota can handle any type of weapon thanks to her aunts, uncles and cousins from Furcas Island and her uncle Dracule Mihawk as she was growing up, and even inherited a few of her mother's weapons.
Expert Hand-to-hand combatant: Dakota having grown up on the Red Force was taught how to fight along with walking and talking by her father and his crew, and it becomes more developed as she leaves for the mountains and later to Furcas Island. She's able to fight in the mid-air with ease, especially with the aid of her demonic wings and heightened senses and Observational Haki allows her to be able to see without her eyesight.
Stealth: As an assassin, her stealth skills come in handy and she mastered them well without the use of her Demons, being highly skilled at sneaking around in the darkness.
Mixed Martial Arts Master: Dakota picked up different fighting styles as she grew up and trained on the Furcas Island as an assassin to help control her Devil Fruit as she needs clear focus. She fights using different fighting styles as a way to confuse her enemy as she changes one form to the next, rendering their attacks useless.
Torture: Dakota specialises in torture as a way of obtaining information, she has no problem with harming those she sees fit to destroy and those she feels are useful are spared death. Luffy hates the way she works but gives her allowances, depending on the circumstances, like when they were younger after Sabo died, Dakota demanded to know who killed her brother, both upset, let her torture her way through nobles until they found the person responsible.

THE VOW
27 years ago in the dangerous sea known as the Grand Line, a young red-haired boy wearing a straw hat raced across the ship as a young blond-haired, girl with purple eyes with pink crosses as iris jogged behind him with another blue-haired boy with a red nose, shouted as he ran behind them. "Oi! You brats, calm down!" An older man with slicked-back blond hair and a dark beard shouted at them; they stopped in their tracks, looking at him with guilt.
"Sorry, Rayleigh." They all apologised together, trying to play off as innocent, but they were far from it, and everyone knew it.
"Come on, Shanks, let's go see what food the cook can give us." The girl whispered into the red-haired boy's ear and grabbed him by the hand as they tried getting away from the blue-haired boy. Shanks looked at the girl's hand in his and couldn't help but to blush, having a crush on the girl since her arrival on the Oro Jackson.
"Bye, Buggy." Shanks waved as the blond-haired girl dragged him away across the ship down the stairs.
"Hey, Anna! Shanks!" Buggy exclaimed as the other disappeared down into the ship to cause more mischief.
THE VOW
A few years later came the day of Roger's death, both Anna and Shanks watched the man that helped them become who they are. Anna rubs her swollen belly she hadn't seen the man in two years as they had left to create their own pirate crew. The couple watch with tears falling down their faces, as the rain clouds gathered above them helping cover their tears. Anna wiped away her tears as she grabbed Shanks' hand in hers, pulling him away from the alleyway afraid of being caught and to their new adventures. Shanks tried hiding his tears covering them with his straw hat, but Anna could see them as she squeezes his hand pulling him down the street away from the crowds and into the New Era of becoming parents.
THE VOW
A year later, Anna has given birth to a beautiful baby girl with hair like her father and similar eyes as her mother. Dakota Le Roux was the apple of her parents' eye. Shanks purposed a month later, and now Anna stood in a small room; her palms felt clammy, her nerves were getting to her as it was an important day, she looked at herself in the full body mirror as one of her crew members came into the room behind her. "You look beautiful, Anna," Benn said, entering the room, she looked back at him in the mirror.
"Am I rushing into this?" Anna asked him as a loud cry sounds out by the door. Anna jumped into action speeding over to the noise seeing baby Dakota in her crib, crying out for her Mother's touch, feeling her Mother's anxiety. Anna picked up Dakota trying to calm the fussing baby, bobbing up and down as she soothed the crying baby.
"You know that's not true; you love Shanks and Dakota." Benn reasoned with her and took the now calm baby in his arm as looked at Anna in her gorgeous wedding dress. He held his arm out to her, and they looped arms and walked out of the room to walk down the aisle.
THE VOW
Three years later, a bad storm had rolled in over the Red Force as the Red-Haired Pirates scurried around the ship trying to keep afloat. Anna stayed with Dakota in her room as she played with her toys on the floor, Anna sat reading a book hearing the crash of thunder above and the shouts of the crew. A knock on the door pulled Anna out of her book; she got up from her chair in the corner, looking at Dakota playing with her toys. Anna smiled softly in pride at her four-year-old daughter, not knowing it was the last time. She opened the door to see a shadowy figure looming in the hall, recognising them and hoping they would never see each other again. She pulled herself out of the room, closing the door behind her to shield Dakota from whatever was to happen. Inside the room, Dakota continued to play with her boat making splashing noises that were all too familiar when a loud crash from outside then a cry from her Mother. Dakota jumped up when a loud bang like a gun went off with a scream, then nothing but silence, just dead silence. Dakota raced to the door, but she couldn't reach the door handle with her short toddler height, she tried jumping up grabbing the handle, and the door swings open making her fall to the floor, slowly standing on her feet, she saw the dark hallway in front of her.
THE VOW
Dakota went out into the hallway as the ship rocked side to side abruptly, knocking to the side and falling onto something soft; she puts her hands out onto the soft object that caught her and looked up to see her Mother lying there unmoving. Dakota looked at her and saw a pool of blood underneath her; Anna's eyes showed no signs of life, she was dead. "Mummy?" She called out to her, but there was no response. "Mummy, get up!" She cried out, but again there was no response from the blond and Dakota shook her Mother getting blood on her clothes but got nothing from her Mother as she lied on the floor unmoving. Dakota kept on shaking her mother as she tried to wake her, but nothing worked, so she ran up the stairs at the end of the hallway to the top of the ship to find her father.
THE VOW
Dakota ran to the top of the ship where everyone was busy trying to keep the ship afloat in the horrible and powerful thunderstorm. She stood looking around for her Father's noticeable red hair but couldn't see him, she tilted her head up, taking a deep breath and screamed loud, making everyone turn to look at her. Yasopp jumps over to her shaking figure, as he gets closer to her, he saw the blood covering the front of her pyjamas.
"Dakota, what happened?" He asked the crying four-year-old, stroking her hair, trying to soothe her.
"Mummy, she won't wake up!" She cried, gaining everyone's attention even more. Shanks made his way over to them taking in his distraught daughter's appearance, but he doesn't pay any mind as he took her into his arms and raced down to the hallway where Anna's body lay.
THE VOW
Benn took Dakota from Shanks as he watched as his Captain kneeled down next to Anna's body and cradled her in his arms crying as Dakota struggled in Benn's arms trying to get to her sobbing Father. "Daddy! Mummy won't wake up! What's wrong, Daddy!" Dakota cried out for answers, but he wouldn't answer, and that was the first dead body Dakota saw.
THE VOW
Six long years later, the Red Force pulled into port, and everyone made their way off of the ship, Shanks and Dakota came off last as they made their way into the town for food and drink. Dakota having her father's red hair and her Mother's beautiful features, Shanks darted his eyes around trying to keep an eye out for any boys like he had for every island they had taken port at and Dakota sighed in annoyance before walking off behind her overprotective father.
