Camie
Camie is a Kissing Gourami mermaid identified as an assistant at a takoyaki shop who maintains a close bond with the octopus fishman Hatchan. She first appears alongside Hatchan in light-hearted underwater encounters and later joins forces with the Straw Hat Pirates to rescue him from captors. Camie is known for her ability to communicate with fish to guide ships and her repeated involvement in rescue operations that place her in danger from groups like the Flying Fish Riders and auction bidders on the Sabaody Archipelago.
Throughout her encounters Camie demonstrates a persistent drive to save friends even when facing personal risk including kidnappings and an exploding collar during an auction. Her relationships extend to the starfish Pappug who serves as both her pet and master and to the Straw Hat crew members who repeatedly intervene on her behalf. Later events show her reuniting with the crew on Fishman Island where she offers guidance and hospitality.
Appearance
Camie possesses the scaled tail and upper body typical of a mermaid along with a star-patterned top that covers her torso. She is frequently depicted with a bubble helmet when traveling above water and displays physical signs of emotion such as blushing accompanied by floating hearts during moments of embarrassment.12
When on land or in mixed company Camie wears a black top marked with the letters CR and maintains her scale-patterned lower body while carrying a trident-like object in some scenes. Her expressions range from cheerful smiles during reunions to wide-eyed panic when trapped inside a water tank.34
Personality
Camie exhibits a cheerful and apologetic nature when interacting with new acquaintances often introducing herself politely while expressing gratitude through offers such as takoyaki. She prioritizes the safety of friends above her own comfort and insists on pursuing rescue efforts even after being warned of danger.56
She shows determination to fulfill long-held dreams such as visiting an amusement park yet remains hesitant about rules and potential consequences. Camie also defends her allies vigorously when others voice doubts about their character.78
Abilities and powers
As a mermaid Camie claims the title of fastest swimmer in the ocean and uses this speed to rescue individuals from underwater hazards while reassuring others that no one can match a mermaid in water. She demonstrates the capacity to communicate directly with fish in order to lead vessels along safe routes.910
Camie maintains contact with distant allies through communication devices and coordinates group movements during rescue operations. Her guidance earns cheers from accompanying crews who rely on her knowledge of underwater paths.611
