![]() ![]() Her attire and demeanour are spruced up when she is getting attention. But most notably, she struggles in appreciating herself. Palm looks and acts like a mess – she fumbles a lot when she talks, fails to hold conversations and is socially inept. This stressed out, Sunako Nakahara lookalike embodies everything you can expect from her character design. While these moments tend to be played up for more comedic purposes, the meaning behind her obsessive nature and violent tendencies makes Palm a lot more complex than one would initially expect. ![]() In particular, her fixation on those who are the apple of her eye is something she prides herself on and lives for. Said behaviour involves her inability to keep her thoughts and mind on track when holding a single conversation, her tendency to activate her Hatsu when her emotions are heightened, and her simple flaw of taking things just a bit too seriously. From the get-go, Palm’s particular quirks are on full display, be it her rather dishevelled appearance or her “difficult” behaviour. Something good really did manage to come from it. Her subtle development, growth and character arc manages to put a positive spin on the horrors that transpire, no matter how minor a benefit it might be to her. Much like how Knuckle Bine maintains hope and sheer optimism in the direst of situations, Palm expresses how personal growth can come from desperate and tragic events. Palm’s whole vibe is a massive mood, and as soon as she is introduced within the Chimera Ant arc, getting to know her feels like a warm blanket of familiarity and peculiarity. ![]()
