[color=9966CC][u]{Personality}[/u][/color]
As a generally level-headed and often playful individual, Samehana can come off as being more approachable than her appearance might suggest. Samehana has a habit of being a little flirtatious, though at the same time she’s also quite snarky, especially with her crewmates. The one thing she gets the most excited about is facing opponents who can test her skills, a fact that sometimes causes her to drag out fights longer than needed for maximum satisfaction. Those who seem to have the potential to become stronger intrigue her in particular, and she’ll often make note of them in the hopes of future encounters.

Fishman Island



[color=9966CC][u]{History}[/u][/color]
From a young age, Samehana knew she wanted to become a martial artist. As a little fishgirl, she often watched as her father’s students at the Fishman Dojo trained vigorously in the art of combat. She idolized both her father and her older brother, Samejin, and it wasn’t long before she begged her father to train her in Fishman Karate as well. While her father, Samemoku, was hesitant at first, Samehana was persistent. Before long, she had broken through her father’s wall of denial and began training at the dojo. Both Samejin and Samemoku were impressed by how quickly Samehana caught on to the finer points of Fishman Karate, to the point that they labeled her a prodigy. While Samehana trained happily, she quickly surpassed her brother who had been training for years up until she took up Fishman Karate. 

Samemoku began to regret his choice somewhat once Samehana had begun to blossom into womanhood. Her shapely figure and pretty face attracted no small amount of suitors and would-be students who wanted to win her favour. It took the elder fishman quite a bit of willpower not to stop her from training in order to shelter her from those who would come to take her hand in marriage. At the time, it took Samehana a while to catch on, but she eventually turned it into an opportunity for competition. In fact, before setting off from Fishman Island, she had a sort of “contest” running where whoever could best her in combat would be worthy of her hand. Of course, she never lost.

With Samejin in line to eventually be the next head of the Fishman Dojo, Samehana didn’t have much reason to stick around other than perhaps settling into complacency. Instead, Samehana decided that she would explore the world outside of Fishman Island, hopefully encountering greater fighters than those she fought in her homeland.

As a Fish(wo)man, Samehana possesses immense physical prowess. Though, Samehana is considered monstrous even among Fishmen. Combined with her mastery of both Kenbunshoku and Busoshoku Haki, Samehana is a formidable fighter. It is her proficiency in Busoshoku Haki that earned her the title “The Black Shark”, due to her ability to harden her entire body with Haki. Also of note is her cooking ability, which is literally only in the area of seafood. Everything else she makes turns out awful.

 Samehana happens to be a high-level master of Fishman Karate, which she often combines with moves she’s picked up from various martial artists she’s encountered during her travels. Samehana typically tries hard not to kill her opponents if it isn’t necessary, a luxury she can afford on account of her immense speed and power.
