Faust is terrified of the vacuum cleaner and tries to hide somewhere up high (like on top of a closet). He can’t quite explain his fear, but he just doesn’t trust that 'devilish machine,' and that’s that.

Interesting fact about Marie: One of her hobbies is embroidery. Although it didn’t become her true passion, it is deeply rooted in her family’s culture. Given Marie's background and medieval-like structure of her home island, embroidery was a part of the education of girls from aristocratic families.
Even though it became more of a routine habit for her, embroidery still gives her a sense of calm.

So, back to headcanon, I sincerely believe in: Hawkins’s ship isn’t just any pirate vessel; it’s practically a museum filled with cursed objects and artifacts with a creepy reputation.
●●●
On Basil’s ship, the crew isn’t just responsible for their usual duties - they also have to keep the haunted and cursed collection in check. These eerie artifacts, carefully curated by Basil and bought at various auctions, are not just stored away but are seamlessly integrated into the ship’s decor, adding to its uniquely sinister atmosphere.
Even cursed collections need care, so every once in a while, the crew undertakes a general cleaning. Not everyone is thrilled about this, but there’s a schedule, and it’s non-negotiable. And slacking off isn’t an option - if you do, you might find yourself haunted by some supernatural being from the mirror you forgot to polish.
For Bella, one of the ship’s medics, this task is more of a pleasure than a chore. She genuinely enjoys the cleaning, but not because she loves tidying up. It's because she gets to gossip and spill all the latest news to the ghosts and other paranormal beings aboard.
That’s why the crew isn't too keen on letting one of their medics handle the cleaning - because once Bella's in there, she’s likely to spend the whole day chatting away with her spectral audience.

Marie’s parents have briefly appeared in my another artwork. They are an example of marriage diplomacy, where there was no place for true love. Her father never aspired to be king and had no clear idea of what he wanted from life. Apathetic and lacking initiative, he left all the political duties to his wife. The queen, extremely concerned about their family's status, demands that all members of the family be perfect in every aspect to maintain the royal dynasty’s flawless image.
But, as you can imagine, things didn’t exactly go according to plan with Marie. 🤷♀️

I present to you - Wanderer Jack and his companion, the backpack-magpie Esther (she's literally a backpack with Devil Fruit's powers)
+ a few facts
🍀° Jack says of himself that he is not a pirate, not an adventurer, not a bounty hunter. Just simply a stranger who travels from island to island.
🍀° He is willing to listen to people's problems 24/7 to help everyone around him feel better (even if you've only known him for a few minutes). However, he never talks about himself. People think of him as a harmless and friendly weirdo.
🍀° He can be annoying with his endless calmness in situations of any degree.
🍀° Distinguishing features: burn marks on his hands, tattoo on his chest.

I just looove interesting details about canonical characters. Like their favorite color, what they like to eat. What flower or animal they associate with, etc.
This is my favorite, so it was only a matter of time before I did something similar for Marie.
So, first of all, I drew her in a floral outfit, and then I couldn't resist and decided to do the same thing for Basil. Because, why not?

I associated Marie with Sweet Briar Rose

This is a very interesting question, actually!
°°°
Marie began to develop her abilities only after meeting the Hawkins' pirates (from the beginning of her main storyline, let's say). Before that, she had only learned how to keep the power of her Devil fruit under control to avoid harming anyone.
A significant role in this is played by Marie's origins. She comes from a small kingdom lost somewhere in the New World. This kingdom is closer to the Medieval in terms of its infrastructure, lifestyle, and worldview.
In her homeland, no one had ever heard of Devil Fruits, so people and even almost her entire family perceived Marie as some kind of witch or demon.
Marie was able to properly train and develop her abilities only many years later, right after meeting the pirates. Because they explained to her that she was neither a witch nor a monster, but an ordinary person who was both lucky and unlucky at the same time.

Marie is deprived of the ability to express emotions in the usual sense, which is a side effect of her Devil Fruit
I’ve always been curious to find the most fitting example of what this looks like, following the picture in my head

I just love creating a gloomy atmosphere in a character's backstory (because honestly, who doesn't?), where everyone thinks she's the embodiment of pure evil
When in reality, she is: 💕🌸✨️🎀🦄
And her stats are more like this:
Strength - 2/10
Endurance - 5/10
Resourcefulness - 7/10
Charisma - 5/10
Sense of Humor - 4/10
Intimidation - 1/10
Health - 6/10
30/70
Final Conclusion: C-B

But I kinda like this place for imagination 🤷♀️
