Nekomimi D. Haley

Toko Haley (ヘイリー・トコ Heirī toko) is a wandering traveler along with her ally Jack. Despite being the younger of the two she often takes over the role of being Jack’s caregiver, primarily due to his careless personality.

Appearance
Like her easily distinguishable ally Jack, Haley has many features uncommon for most women. Despite her brown eyes; being the normal eye color for people in general, unlike the many that Jack sees Haley is separated due to her long flowing light violet almost lilac hair. She is however of average height for a woman standing at 5’3, but weighs very little in comparison to most women. Due to her small stature, she is not capable of wearing the clothes that most women wear as it would simply slip off of her body. For her clothing Haley’s common attire consists of a white sleeveless martial arts uniform that extends from her neck, down to her waist. A noteable feature on her uniform is a protection cup located on her left breast being held in place by a black sash that’s wrapped around her torso from the left shoulder, towards her right hip. She also wears a red sash around her waist to keep the suit from falling off of her. On her arms, she wears long violet arm sleeve that extends from her biceps to the palm of her hands. She also bares a scarf of the same color that hangs behind her. Under her uniform is a sleeveless black shirt along with short black shorts that stop shortly after the uniform. Ending her attire is the large black boots she wears with red socks in which her left one slowly resides above the top of the boot. In addition to her rather unique outfit, she is also sometimes seen wearing red spectacles, even though she does not need them to see playing into her eccentric personality. She also often tends to wear other outfits of different colors, such as a small Mrs. Clause outfit, or a red martial arts shirt like that of her white one. She is also noted to have a “pretty nice rack” by her friend Water Jack.

Personality
As if it were tattooed on her forehead her shyness can be obviously discerned based simply on the impression she gives off. Despite her close-knit community, Haley still struggled to speak with others and did her best to refrain from being the center of others’ attention; even her parents. Because of this she was not as close to many of the other children, and was commonly regarded as the girl with the violet hair. This has left her rather socially inept which causes her to speak mainly in a stutter when talking to anyone besides Jack. In addition to her being the quiet type, she is also very compassionate. After Jack became paralyzed in his arm, she would spend her days researching ways to help him. After consuming the Kenkō Kenkō No Mi she would use her powers to heal him, and any other villager affected by any ailments. Whilst on the road as a freelancer, she also uses her power to heal those she finds who are injured without the desire for compensation. Toko Haley also tends to show off a rather eccentric side of her, that often acts as a repellent to others. Either based on loyalty or her lack of knowledge when it comes to what is normal, she will do whatever she can to help Jack on his missions; even if it means dressing up as Mrs. Claus and whipping a man in the street. She can sometimes be seen wearing Jack’s attire and brushing her teeth with a long blue pen while wearing an afro wig, or wearing clothes that she took from an enforcement officer. She also is considerably loyal to her allies, particularly being Jack to which he reciprocates completely. Her loyalty to him started long ago when she was saved by him in the forest, as it was first shown when she found a way to help heal an ally of his. She also showed this, as she was the only member of her village to join him in his travels and remained by his side when they became freelancers. Haley also lacks confidence in herself, as this was built from several events occurring in her life; the first being unable to help her village during the plague. Then feeding off her shyness, it plays a role in her believing that she lacks the bravery needed to be a freelancer, and often looks towards her self-designated protector Jack.

History
During the Winter Solstice 18 years ago, Toko Haley was born is Syrup Village located on Gecko Island. Despite living in a peaceful little village surrounded by those who loved her around 2 years of age, Haley wandered off from her home and eventually got lost in the forest around her village. After hours of the child wandering around, she eventually arrived at an spring containing many animals, and a waterfall descending into a small blue lake below. After noticing several small animals she followed them, eventually leading her to a cave hidden behind the waterfall. Taking refuge there, she awaited for anyone to come by and find her. After hours of seeing no one and darkness filling the cave, the young child grew scared and began to cry. The surrounding animals would worry for the girl and surround her, however this would only make her even more frightened. The small animals then brought her a plethora of gooseberries, to which she would take and eat from. One in particular would however give off a bitter taste in comparison to the rest but was nonetheless, eaten by the girl. Suddenly hearing sounds coming from the entrance of the cave, she tried hiding as far back as her courage would allow the child who feared both the dark, and the noises that began slowly approaching her. Three figures then entered the cave in which the girl inhabited and due to recognizing her, and her believing them to be familiar she let them guide her back to the village. Despite the close-knit community even from a young age, Haley found it difficult to fit in along with everyone else and was often regarded by the other children, as the girl with the violet hair. As the peaceful years drifted on by, Haley would continue to live the life she’d been accustomed to. While with her parents one day, another small child near her would fall and hurt themself. Inspecting the wound of the child, the child was suddenly healed and the wound would seem as though it never existed. Finding herself surrounded by others, including her baffled parents she would then be treated as her village’s doctor. Within a few short years, Haley would find herself trapped in the village in which itself was contained by a plague that spread like a wildfire. Fortunately unlike the others, Haley’s home found themselves seemingly spared from the illness ravaging their quiet village. Despite her capabilities, she found herself useless against the plague, prompting Haley’s mother and father would take it upon themselves to be the primary medical operator of their village, often responding to house calls that many made for their ill relative. During this time Haley would divulge herself in her books to which became the catalyst for her thirst for knowledge. It wasn’t until years later in which Haley would come face to face with Jack, as he was brought to her after sustaining various injuries from a bear attack; including a missing arm. Due to her abilities to heal wounds inflicted onto others, she was capable of healing Jack, and surprising even to her was able to grow a new arm for him on the very spot, which functioned just as well as his previous arm, and repaying him for rescuing her almost a decade prior. Within a very short time following this the plague that ravaged her village began subsiding, to which would resume trade pulling their land out of their depression. Three short years later, Haley joined the other villagers as they went to see Jack off. She however came to the pier suitcase in tow, as she decided to join him on his journey. After leaving on the boat with him, she stayed with him and stared at their home until it was out of sight. For the past few years the two have worked together as freelancers, taking on various odd jobs from finding lost pets, to hunting down and returning bandits to prison. With her abilities, she often spends her time tending to the wounds of various individuals, primarily her ally Jack.

Abilities
Being blessed with the powers of a devil fruit has granted Haley abilities impossible for any common man or woman to perform. Unlike her fellow freelancer Jack she does not contain his vast strength, nor is capable of unlocking it. She does however show some signs of possessing the Hoashoku haki but with no one to help train her, has been left undeveloped and useless to her. She’s also considerably intelligent as she has a great deal of knowledge regarding the human body. She also often tends to analyze situations, and tries to look for a solution that will benefit either her or Jack the most. She is also very flexible which plays a role in her agility that rivals her peer. She is also capable of fighting for great deal of time, as her cells act upon their own volition to heal her. Disregarding her devil fruit’s ability to combat illnesses she has shown to have been born with a strong immune system, as no one in her family fell victim to the illness that plagued their village, despite being around those who were sick nearly every day.

Devil Fruit
As a consumer of a devil fruit, Haley has unique powers. At a young age Haley was forced to hone the skills given to her by this fruit, as she was for a while her village’s primary doctor. As a result, she has a mastery over her powers and has for years. With her powers, Halye has the ability to shape the health of individuals around them either curing them of illnesses, or being the one who can cause them. Her power in particular actually rather involves itself with the cell structures of organisms, to which she can alter in any way she wants. An example of her powers is to strengthen the leukocytes within an individual, to keep them from becoming ill. She could also weaken or completely rid one’s body of the aforementioned leukocytes, causing the individual to become severely susceptible to common illnesses. With the lack of white blood cells, it is also possible for the individual to perish from a common cold. Perhaps the most well known of her abilities, is her ability to help individuals regenerate lost limbs, broken bones, etc. Shortly after obtaining the powers from the devil fruit, she first tried her abilities on a child that fell and hurt their leg, to which she uncovered her abilities to heal others. This technique doesn’t work by transmuting a substance, but rather by causing the current cells to divide and multiply, creating something new as they always do. If an individual is left with broken bones she utilizes her abilities to manipulate the cells within your bones. After osteoclast breaks down the old broken bone, she manipulates the osteocytes created by osteoblasts, in order to reshape the bone repairing it. Her powers were shown to work in various other situations, including individuals that suffer from losing one of their senses. After an individual lost their hearing, she used her ability to repair the damaged cells, restoring their hearing. In other instances, she used the same process to restore one’s sight, as their eye tissue was damaged which resulted in her creating cells to divide and multiply while they were eliminating the previous dead tissue which caused their blindness. Her techniques however do not work on individuals that were born with ailments, as she can only restore you to what you once were like at some point in your life; not if you were born with it. In addition to her abilities to produce new cells, she is capable of raising one’s blood cell count, as she can cause those to multiply in number. Another commonly used ability by her, is her ability to regenerate herself. This is typically used in combat, in which she is struck by a weapon giving off the impression that she is very tolerant of pain. Unlike her ally who can power through attacks, she can be stricken and react to pain as a normal person would, but can immediately continue on fighting as her wounds would’ve healed immediately, rendering brute force useless depending on the individual. Her ability to regenerate automatically is exclusive only to her, but there is another technique in which she can use to assist others. A technique she refers to as Speedy Recovery is a rarely used technique, as it requires a great deal of energy from her and can take a toll on her. An effect of this technique can also slow down her own regeneration time, giving the enemy the ability to cause her great harm. With this technique, she can heal the wound of an individual as it’s happening. An instance in which she used this technique occurred when an individual had their throat slit. Using this technique, she healed their wound before they could die, saving their life. Another instance occurred when a bullet pierced the brain of a small child. She would quickly repair the cells around the bullet long enough for her to remove it from the child’s skull. Due to her abilities she is often sought after by those who wish to abuse her power, at the expense of other’s lives.

Intellect
Apart from her devil fruit, Haley is considered to be a very intelligent individual. From a young age due to sequestering herself, she had plenty of time to educate herself in various subjects most notably being science. After failing to help the other villagers during the plague that ravaged her home, she would spend her time informing herself of the human body and various ways on how one would repair wounds and help combat illnesses. With this knowledge in tow she is in addition to her devil fruit powers, a very capable doctor on her own. Her intelligence supersedes that of peers and most people she meets.

Physical Capabilities
Although she doesn’t possess much strength and endurance, she makes up for it with her stamina and agility. In certain situations that requires infiltration, she is preferable over Jack as he is simply too large. With her speed and flexibility, she can maneuver pass opponents attacks in battle. Her flexibility also her to hit her opponent while in various positions, making it rather difficult to subdue from an angle in which she won’t be able to strike you. Her stamina plays a role in her ability to fight, and her devil fruit powers. Due to her ability to regenerate upon receiving damage, she is capable of doing this for a great duration in which she can simply outlast her opponent. In addition to having a great deal of stamina, she is capable of running great distances without tiring. Adding onto her current abilities despite her small frame, she is very tolerant towards the cold befitting her date of birth. Haley is very susceptible to the heat and often complains about it, but can function normally in the cold. Similar to that of someone fighting in fair weather, it is uncommon for her to be cold and can move freely in the snow and ice.

Relationships
Water Jack In the spring following her second birthday, Haley wandered off from her home and was eventually rescued by Jack. Years later the two would be presented Despite not interacting with him much as a child, she would admire him from afar. After learning that he would set out on a journey around the world, she opted to join him arriving at the pier with a suitcase with her. Haley no matter what has remained by Jack’s side over the years, and trusts him with her life unconditionally. Despite being somewhat annoyed by his protective nature, she finds it to be one of his more positive traits as it shows his level of care for others.
