Cranberry Caprice

{{Char Box East A. Elmenhilde is a young and aspiring {{opw|Marine Ranks|Seaman}} and one of the freshet faces among the recruits of the {{opw|Marines}}. Formerly a citizen of {{opw|Spider Miles}}, Elmenhilde was born as an only child to two parents who were famed for their status as adventurers, who had supposedly seen every corner of the Earth and scoured every depth of the ocean for treasure; in fact, Elmenhilde was the result of them wanting their legacy to continue on. As such, Elmenhilde was brought up with a very active lifestyle from both of her parents, whom even went so far as to teach her the art of swordplay ever since she could properly lift one; Elmenhilde displayed immense skill by the time she was 10 and was considered to be very well-versed by the time she was 14.

When Elmenhilde turned 15, she enrolled herself in the Marines who rather quickly assigned her to the rank of {{opw|Chore Girl}}, as they thought that she had little to no experience with combative ways. After a while of Elmenhilde practicing and training alongside recruits, her higher-ups reluctantly decided to promote her to a recruit herself after she had proved her worth to them. Soon the time came where Elmenhilde and the rest of her Marine crew were to leave the Spider Miles outpost and set out to sea; before the young recruit left however, her parents approached her and told Elmenhilde how proud they were of her before handing her an object none other than a {{opw|Devil Fruit}}. Turning out to be the Kaori Kaori no Mi —which they had acquired on a treasure dive— Elmenhilde quickly ate the fruit and began practicing as soon as possible so she could gain experience before she left, bidding her parents and hometown farewell. In the current day, Elmenhilde is travelling across the world with her Marine crew, meeting different and unique people along the way.
