"Phantom Thief" Carina is a character who appears in Heart of Gold and One Piece Film: Gold.[5] She is a thief who formerly worked as a songstress in Gran Tesoro, plotting to steal its riches. After helping the Straw Hat Pirates overthrow Gild Tesoro, Carina took command of Gran Tesoro.[3]Carina is a slim young woman with long light purple hair, tied in a chignon, and blue eyes. When first seen in a hottub with Tesoro, Carina wore a white string bikini with a star accessory attached, a star necklace around her neck, gold earrings, and an gold armlet on her left bicep. During the concert, Carina wears a one-strapped black and yellow dress with a blue feathery armwear on her right forearm and black stiletto heels. Similar to Nami, Carina is a very greedy and devious thief, doing whatever it takes to access and steal treasure and other riches. Despite the luxurious lifestyle she gained after becoming a songstress in Gran Tesoro, Carina was not satisfied and sought to have Gran Tesoro for herself, even organizing a large coup in order to steal it.[3] Also, in spite of her legal and rich job, Carina also retained her thief behavior, disguising herself and trying to steal Nami's wallet in Gran Tesoro. She also seems to be proud of her thieving skills and becomes irritated when they are questioned or when someone actually steals from her such as she was shocked and was briefly angry when she realized that her own wallet had been stolen by Nami. She appears to often be very selfish and deceitful, as she was willing to put Nami in harm's way in order to escape from Mad Treasure and faked Gran Tesoro's self-destruction in order to get the island riches all for herself, except for Tesoro's rings.[2] However, she is not heartless, as she eventually returned and helped Nami escape and has been shown to be disturbed by Tesoro's ruthlessness and sadism and the miserable condition of those indebted to him.[3]

Also like Nami, she sometimes uses her body's appeal to gain what she needed by distracting guards.[3]
