Ghanendra Ali

Portrayed by Yonderly

## Overview

*Ghanendra begins as nothing more than a hedonist. He likes alcohol, parties, drama, mischief, colloquialisms, and assholes. However, Ghanendra has a darker side to his personality, as he attributes this attitude to a lifetime of emotional neglect, for which he cannot be blamed. He uses this persona to mask his own feelings of vulnerability and self-hatred, which the Skypieans instilled in him. He actively rejected offers of friendship and punished his peers for attempting to connect with him, but when he finds someone he trusts, Ghanendra cares deeply for them. Ghanendra's loyalty to his friends exemplifies his dedication. Ghanendra is extremely caring, even in romantic relationships.*

*Though Ghanendra composes himself in a nonchalant, confident, and serene manner, his mannerisms are decidedly theatrical, compounding his natural affinity for the performative. He is witty and quick to insult, prod, or ridicule, but he understands the gravity of the situation. Though Ghanendra prefers to act pragmatically and logically rather than emotionally, he is also self-sacrificing. On the other hand, Ghanendra is prone to addiction. After the majority of his relationships ended, Ghanendra fell into a downward spiral characterized by alcoholism and fighting people.*

*Despite his inability to deal with his grief in a healthy manner, Ghanendra possesses a high level of emotional intelligence and empathy. He understands how others feel and persuades them that a proactive approach is preferable to passive suffering.*

## Mental Strengths

**Understanding:** *Ghanendra understands people's situations because he, like most people, has been through hell and back. Even as a pirate, he is not a bad person.*

**Smart:** *He has his smart moments, but unless they are insults, he keeps most of his thoughts to himself. He can look for other people's solutions to problems or ways to defeat his enemies without getting his hands dirty.*

**Caring:** *He is a caring person once he lets you in. It takes time, but you can see some personal growth with Ghanendra if you are patient.*

## Mental Weaknesses

**Hiding:** *He conceals his emotions behind the partying and drama. He has no idea how to deal with that side of himself, and he has no idea what people would think of him if they saw that side of him.*

**Caring:** *When he cares about someone, his decisions are always based on their safety, not his own. He doesn't care much about himself, only about the person or people he cares about.*

**Asshole:** *Ghanendra lets his words fly when he doesn't like someone or is just meeting someone. He uses words like "bitch" or "slut" frequently in his insults to people. And the people around him suffer the most at times, but when he says it to his friends, who are mostly other people, he means every word.*

## History

*Ghanendra's birth was a miraculous event. Everyone gathered around him and invited him to join them as a family. Ghanendra used to tell him stories about pirates and their ultimate goal of becoming pirate king when he was a small child. Ghanendra was so excited as a child that the fanciful tails of the fruits, race, and pirates appeared to be fake. Everything changed when his father became a pirate after meeting a group of pirates who entered Angel Island. Ghanendra's father abandoned his Skypieans duties to become an outsider. This was difficult for him and his mother because he not only looked different from the rest of the Skypieans, but his family was considered traders and was almost kicked off Angel Island as a result of this incident.*

*Ghanendra wasn't upset with his father; he was just doing what he thought he should be doing: following his dream and returning to tell him more stories about his journey and what he did on an actual pirate ship. A few years later, he and his mother learned that his father had died while on a quest for a devil fruit. The Skypieans gossip and kept gossiping when Ghanendra or his mother was around or when they left they became the laughing stock of the Skypieans. Until one day, Ghanendra discovered a way to cope with his grief by drinking alcohol and fighting with the majority of Ghanendra when he was younger, but all of this was to destroy his mother. His mother died a year later, just before his 17th birthday, but things only got worse from there.*

*He went to a bar after a rough time with the Skypieans, where most of the outsiders were singing songs and drinking his emotions away. A few minutes passed as one of the Marines handed him candy, and he had no idea that this candy contained the very drug that had killed his mother. He sighs as he walks over to the bar to get another drink, but he encounters a type of monk he has never seen before, so he starts talking to her to figure out who she is and what she is. He felt like they were similar and he could almost trust her, but after finishing his drink, he handed her the candy. As she ate the candy, she became intoxicated with the drug, which was not what he desired.*

*The Marine who gave him the candy saw what he did and laughed as they discussed what it was and what they were going to do to her. He was enraged to hear this, seeing what had happened to his mother, so he killed them as his body began to smoke, the first sign of him using haki. The haki he displayed was an armored haki. Even though he had heard about this power, he was surprised that he could use it after killing them. When the Marines discovered that a few of their own had been killed, they took her to the dead marine ship, where more were killed, killing them all. He was looking for the same exact candy as he was looking for a cure for Kordelia because it was his fault.*

*Perhaps he began to care for someone other than himself as he sailed but deposed the bodies in the sea. Following the recent events, he decided to become a pirate like his father, but to outdo him by discovering a cure for Kordelia. But after the incident, he had about 24 million dollars for killing so many Marines, and as someone who was with him, Kordelia was raised as her was even higher than his, as there was much he didn't know about her. The two sailed the sea together and began to become close.*
