## History

### Past

She was living on Baterilla in South Blue when she was pregnant with Ace before Roger died. She held her pregnancy for twenty months through sheer willpower in order to deceive the world of Ace's connection to the King of the Pirates. When the child was finally born, Rouge held him in her arms and named him "Ace D. Gol". The result of holding Ace for so long, however, led to her death from exhaustion after giving birth.

## Legacy

As a result of this sacrifice to save his life from the World Government, Ace claimed that he owed her a debt and took "Portgas" as his surname.

## Anime and Manga Differences

Rouge D. Portgas' face is fully shown in the anime while it was never fully visible in the manga.

## Etymology

* Her name appears to derive from the term "Jolly Roger", as one supposed origin of the word jolly roger was the words *jolie* and *rouge* (especially as her lover, Roger, also has his name derived from this). *Rouge* is also the French word for "red".
* Not only is Ace named after the first ranked card in standard playing cards but "*Rouge et Noir*" ("Red and Black" in French) is a name that several card games possess.
