She wears a pair of hooped earrings, a light blue dress with vertical stripes, and a red sash around her waist.[2]
PersonalityEdit
Amande is very loyal to Big Mom and will execute any mission she is given, with no qualms about killing enemies.[4] She seems to be highly ruthless and sadistic at the same time, as she claims there is no meaning in slaughter without greviously tormenting the victim first as shown when she killed King Baum, she made sure that his death would be long and agonizing, even though he tried to explain himself of his powerlessness against the Straw Hats.[3]
Abilities and PowersEdit
Amande is a capable warrior, as she was capable of massacring several armed knights in order to gather eggs.[1] She has a great reputation, as Germa Kingdom princes Vinsmoke Niji and Vinsmoke Yonji recognized her as a heavyweight within the Big Mom Pirates, which is notable considering the great size and strength of the crew.[2]
Physically AbilitiesEdit
Amanda is extremely strong, as the force of her sword strikes can cut down large number of knights equipped with metal armors and shields. While killing Baum, Amande was able to cleanly slice through his giant trunk with great ease, despite cutting him at slow speed to torment him.

Amande bisects King Baum.
Two days later, Amande was on Whole Cake Island. After Monkey D. Luffy defeated Sweet Commander Charlotte Cracker, Amande and an army marched towards Luffy's location and began battling him.[4] During the battle, Amande punished the homie King Baum for serving the Straw Hat Pirates by bisecting him vertically, making sure to make his death as slow as possible. After finishing Baum off, Amande removed Nami's Vivre Card and saw that it was from Lola. The army then returned to Sweet City with the captive Straw Hats in tow.[3]
Later, Amande attended a meeting to go over the statuses of the Sanji Retrieval Team and the Vinsmoke Family.[5]
Amande attended Big Mom's Tea Party and wedding ceremony for Pudding and Sanji. After Luffy started causing chaos at the wedding venue, Amande witnessed Jinbe officially resigning from the Big Mom Pirates.[6]
