APPEARANCE
At the forefront of First's appearance is her skin color and her hair. Having a darker skin because of her families exposure to Plague Rain, blonde hair has been with the Carnations for generations. First also has sharper than average teeth, the origins of this defect unknown. Her body takes the shape of an hourglass, however it is more bottom skewed in terms of proportions, as First has small breasts and wide hips. For those curious, her measurements are 28/22/50, assuming you are going off of BWH.
Other physical things about her is her slightly large frame when compared to other females, giving her a more masculine silhouette. Her voice is, surprisingly, very feminine. It's soft on the ears and has a short of charm to it, leaving people to want to keep hearing her speak as her voice is that pleasant on the ears. Growing up, people used to say "she had a voice of an angel", though First doesn't really get what they mean by that. First's fashion sense reflects her personality, containing small and revealing pieces of clothing combined with large jackets or capes. Almost all of her clothing is plain and void of logos or words, while also having neutral colors like white or grey.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY
First and foremost, First is an eccentric individual, which is why people often find her weird or unsettling. This can mainly be chalked up to the fact that she her family is full of crazy people who don't care what other people think, and while she herself isn't crazy, she sure as hell doesn't care what other people think. It's hard to specify what this personality trait is like but being around her is very unsettling and a bit odd, as she'll often say things that are not following social norms or a bit random. In truth, her mind is always active and First will often verbalize her thoughts with no context. After a while this becomes pretty normal for people, but she's still able to catch them off guard. Another thing that people notice about her is that First has a very short temper. Combined with her previous trait of vocalizing, First will find herself cursing a lot and lashing out when she's angry. Despite talking a lot, she's not one who is good with words, choosing to use the easiest way of communication over the complicated kind. This in mind, naturally she hates those who try to use big words and act like they are better than her.
When it comes to interpersonal relationships, First makes it quite obvious whose her friend and who isn't by her action, rather than her words. It's going to take long time to get her to actually speak her feelings, but when she ends up offering things to you or opening up, you know that you are on her good side. While on the topic of feelings, for First to find someone to be her lover, they would either have to confess their feelings to her or be a worthy rival of hers. Gender and appearance does not matter to her, and personality matters somewhat. Also, because she has a dominant personality and doesn't get how people work, she will most likely declare that someone is her partner and then get mad at them if they don't follow the rules of relationships. For her partners, First is somewhat normal around them, or at least she tries to be.

HOME ISLAND Karate Island
HISTORY
As to be expected of someone with a unique name, First Carnation has an interesting story.
To first understand how she got to where she is, one must know about the Carnations. The Carnations are a line of people from the land of Skypiea. It is incredibly important that you know this fact, as they are a line rather than a tree. The original Carnation had the dedicated role of being their villages shaman, someone who can speak to nature and advocate for what it needs while also aiding their people. This position gave them a lot of power, and they set some new rules in place. The only one that matters to this day is that there can only ever be one Carnation. At the time, this was not a problem, but once they had a child the people upheld this rule and killed the original Carnation. And so this tradition carried on for generation, with a new Carnation being named as another is killed. So, despite being named First Carnation, First is not the first. This name was only given to them because the actual first Carnation is long forgotten. That and the last Carnation brought shame to the line, ironic for Great Carnation.
Anyways, growing up, First Carnation lived a rough lifestyle. On Karate Island, First was left with nothing besides a few books from her mother and a sword. Great Carnation did not think ahead and First learned this quickly as she grew up. For her first couple of years of life, she was living on scraps. As an infant, she was taken in by a local drunkard who also happened to be a ronin. While his decision-making skills were awful, his heart was still pure. He was not cut out to be a father, but that sure as hell did not stop him. This man would go on to be the only person remotely close to a father figure that First was had, and even though he was a horrible one she was happy with him. Most of First’s meals came from either the garbage or by begging, and occasionally theft. Most of those who had a problem with this would answer to her father and they would be shut up quickly if any problems arose. For the most part, he was pretty hands off. If First had a question, she would ask him, assuming he was not drunk, and get an answer. Besides that, her father merely existed to give her a home.
When First was 12, she started to read those books given to her. Or at least she attempted to. See, with no formal education, First could not learn what her mother had left her and her “father” was no help because he did not know how to read either. Figuring that she was not going to find the help she needed on Karate Island, First left the island in search of a scholar. Inquiring about where to find one, there was a tip given to travel to Ohara. Ohara, which First would find out later, was on the other side of the world. At the age of 12, this was a daunting feat to try and accomplish, but she had to try. Those books that were left for her and the sword with them were the only thing she had to remember who she was.
For the next 8 years, and to this day, First is still trying to make her way to Ohara. By this point, it is not that crazy of a thing for her to do, and honestly, she has just been putting it off. Along the way she was able to get some people to read the books to her and teach her what they said, picking up on the Being of Fantasy and one of its many, many techniques. These were only a couple of pages in multiple books, so she has only reached the tip of the iceberg, but even with that she was content. First had a sort of desire to do better than her mother and all those before her, to pave her own legacy and reset the Carnation line.
