1. What’s their full name? Why was that chosen? Does it mean anything?
Kaowotso de Kavandria; in the OP AU I have - It was chosen for loads of reasons
Kavandria is derived from Kavan - which means handsome, beautiful, etc etc.
My name’s Kav, so my character (my self-insert piece of shit character tbh) had to have my name because a. I love it and b. I’m full of myself
Kaowotso is actually a word in my native language, it means king or royalty. The reason I choose this name because it sounds amazing and also because Kavandira in this OPverse is that - Royalty.
‘de’ is just another thing in my language which puts two words together.
3. Did they have a good childhood? What are fond memories they have of it? What’s a bad memory?
Kav had a wondrous childhood, in her opinion at the time - she was given lavish gifts, dresses and everything she could ever ask for and there was never any objections from outsiders or anyone. She got what she wanted and did as she pleased, with little to no repercussions of her action.
She was on top; she had power and control - she loved every moment of what an impact she made with her decisions.
Human were nothing but toys and the lives of the other World Nobles meant nothing to her unless they kissed her feet and they did so.
But finding herself in the cold world of the open world, freedom was too much of burden but...
She found herself with a young boy who had taken pity on her. Kav came to know of appreciation, gratefulness and what she believed to be happiness at the time.
Meeting Ace that day was both a lucky break and the most fondest memory she has had.
The worst memory she has had as a child isn’t her leaving Mariejois; it was a time she was so scared for the fate of Ace - after the incident in the Gray Terminal. She never realized how much she missed and enjoyed his company and hated to be without him.
4. What is their relationship with their parents? What’s a good and bad memory with them? Did they know both parents?
They never saw eye to eye; Kavandria was a spoiled child - not by her own parents but by just the majority of the residents of Mariejois; seen as a gifted child and a Goddess.
She was put on a pedestal; that she herself took to heart.
But her parents, Authoron and Veledia loved their only daughter - the’re last and only child they had (or could have, really).
They weren’t really the worst of parents, albeit neglectful at times but due to circumstances. Her mother was often weak or sick to take care of Kavandria herself and her father was much too busy with other matters to stay home with his small family.
Though leaving Mariejois, Kavandria found herself a couple who had taken to Kav - often calling her up to come see them if she had the time to. They adored Kavandria, and being unable to have children, they thought of her as their own.
In the end they had adopted Kav as their own child, eventually after finding out she hadn’t any parents.
5. Do they have any siblings? What’s their names? What is their relationship with them? Has their relationship changed since they were kids to adults?
Kavandria does have a brother; there’s an 18 year difference between the though as Veledia had troubles conceiving.
Kavan, after his death (really he ran away, but he faked his own death. Him being dead is just what the World Government/Marines reported for simple reasons); Both Veledia and Authoron tried at having children - and Kavandria was born.
Again, Kavandria is just a name in memory of their first child.
They have never met; they don’t have much of a relationship until she comes in contact with Doflamingo.
Kavan, unlike Kavandria - always wanted a sibling; growing up alongside Doflamingo and Rocinante. He grown to see Doflamingo as somewhat of a brother or a best friend until the Donquixote left Mariejois with his family.
He does take care of his young sibling though, now that they’re together. Kavan is indebt to Doflamingo for helping him in coming with contact with his sibling.
6. What were they like at school? Did they enjoy it? Did they finish? What level of higher education did they reach? What subjects did they enjoy? Which did they hate?
They hadn’t gone to school; they were privately tutored by the best academics that the world could offer - if they couldn’t do their jobs, their names were slandered or worst, their lives taken.
So you would understand that they did their best in teaching youn Kav to whatever she wanted and more.
She’s pretty smart; having good memory and being text-book smart - she had a lot of understanding of math, languages, etc etc.
They greatly enjoyed social studies and anything revolving learning about the wor - though she never cared much about the human aspects of it, it never concerned her. They were playthings.
They absolutely abhorred math; but it had to be taught.
7. Did they have lots of friends as a child? Did they keep any of their childhood friends into adulthood?
No; they were a pretty solidarity being - not really by choice, but by birthright. Other children were denied playing with her due to various reasons - one of them being that they weren’t deemed holy or good enough to be in her presence.
They found some form of friendship, albeit a parasitic one with her slaves and servants.
She had a twisted way of showing her appreciation and gratitude; usually with a bullet through one’s head. She didn’t understand the emotions she was feeling and often thought it be arbitrary.
They left Mariejois though; find friendships and bonds with many in the kingdom of Goa - specifically Luffy, Ace and Sabo.
She remains siblings and friends with Luffy; though her relationship with Ace was more romantic and she loved him, still even after his death.
Kav’s oldest friendship would be with Luffy and it still holds strong, though they had their differences after the death of Ace - they still saw each other as siblings and friends.
8. Did they have pets as a child? Do they have pets as an adult? Do they like animals?
No, they never had a pet and continue to not have a pet as an adult - they were mostly seen as food, or the boys’ thought of animals is food and she went along with it.
They like them, yes - but don’t often feel that they want a pet.
