2nd favorite character methinks.
I think a large part of how a reader relates to a character has to do with the similarities in aspirations between the two. Boa is driven to never show weakness to anyone (except maybe her sisters, elder nyon, rayleigh + shakky, and luffy) again, and in that I can see my own motivation.
As far as beauty, it seems like Boa stands for beautiful perfection in the One Piece universe. Physically, you could say she's designed to the peak of attractiveness. However, after having done some very minor research, I came across the Koine Greek etymology of the word "beautiful", which came from the word for hour. I suppose that symbolically, it would mean that to be beautiful is to be in one's hour. For example, a ripe fruit would be considered beautiful, since it is in its time.
Perhaps I'll begin to see things in a new light. My view of beauty is continually skewed, so perhaps as things happen in their own time, the nature of the true beauty around me will reveal itself.
I think Yuma is beautiful :3
