Henri

Henri and her older brother Bristbane were born to Kingston and Victoria, animal trainers at a popular tourist attraction on Maroa Island. Their mother, Victoria, passes away a few years after Henri's birth due to an illness. Kingston, their father, raises the two on his own, which proves difficult as more and more criminals (mostly thieves and money launderers) are arriving on the island, causing tourists and travelers to steer clear. Money becomes tight over the years and their village no longer feels like a safe place to live.

When Brisbane is in his late teens, several men break into the family's home one night, planning to rob them blind. Kingston attempts to protect his home and fires off a shot to scare the criminals away, but with a trip in the dark, ends up injuring himself instead. After that night, Henri and Brisbane are left with only each other. Stricken with grief and sick of the crime on the island, and by extension all evil-doers in the world, Brisbane vows to become a high-ranking Marine who can dispatch justice on anyone in the world, and who can make enough money to send home to take care of his sister. He leaves for Marineford and begins his career. Henri begs to come with him, saying she'll join the Marines with him, but he tells her to wait until she is older, and leaves her in the care of a neighbor/family friend.

Years pass and, while through his letters Brisbane decides that Henri is now old enough that he'd be comfortable with her joining him in Marineford, she decides that she knows herself well enough and that the strict routines and orders of the Marine lifestyle are not for her. Being a fair enough shot and old enough to leave home comfortably, she joins up with a crew of bounty hunters who stopped on Maroa Island. After being a big help on their first mission together, she decides that this may be the way to make a living for her.

Over the years and events of Henri gaining powers from a Devil Fruit and Brisbane being promoted to Lieutenant, Henri is travelling towards their home island. She overhears chatting in a bar that Maroa is almost entirely a home for criminals and murderers now and that anyone who ends up there with a log pose is completely screwed. She follows the two Marines who were talking about it to get more information and learns that some of the Marine higher-ups had been dropping off criminals on the island to save room in their prisons for more important criminals. It was because of the Marines that their safe, happy homeland was turned into a felon hot spot and the reason their father ended up dead. She knew she had to make her way to Marineford and tell her brother what she learned, and she did just that.

Unfortunately, when she reached him and relayed her intel, he wouldn't believe it. Brisbane was dedicated to the Marines and their way of life and he only believed that they were doing good for the world. Their relationship wasn't the same after that day, neither backing down or giving the other a chance. She's not sure if there's much left to salvage.

After several days of tracking a high valued pirate, Henri is ambushed right outside of the pirate's hideout. She is held captive for days in very bad condition. She figures that in a few days, both from her wounds and starvation, her end will be arriving quickly. When the pirates have left the hideout for the evening, she manages to free herself from her shackles with the last bit of her strentgth. Cautiously, she retrieves her weapons and tries to find her way out, finding a treasure store-room along the way. A mysterious fruit sits in a chest, surrounded by gold and silver. Not knowing how long she has until the pirates return, it being the first food she's seen in so long, and the suspicion that this maybe one of the fabled Devil Fruits, Henri scoops up the fruit and as many Belly as she can carry, but is stopped at the front door by the captain. She uses the fruit as a bargaining chip, hoping that it really is a Devil Fruit, but he makes to grab it back. Henri instantly bites into it, hoping it will help her to live (and praying it doesn't turn her into some hideous monster).

Nothing seems to happen, but the captain is in enough distress over the Fruit being eaten that it buys Henri enough time to escape. It isn't until a month later, when she's recovered from the peril of her last hunt, that she discovers her eyesight is unusually better than normal, to a terrifying amount, when she's lining up a shot for her latest bounty.
