Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder

Chapter 1

A/N: Yes friends I am One Piece garbage. I came up with this character in a pretty quick amount of time (the creative juices just like exploded out of my brain. I swear to God her character profile template thing is 20 typed pages long, it's ridiculous. Anyway, tell me what you all think of this trash.

A little info before we begin so you all won't be confused! Here is some info that I added to the universe.

My OC (Marietta Lanoire) is a second generation immigrant in The Goa kingdom. Her parents are from West Gaul (One Piece's version of France. Germany is East Gaul).

Centuries ago, Gaul was unified until the people of Gaul rose up against The World Government so that they could be a sovereign nation. Fifty million citizens died in the failed rebellion. Afterwards, the world government split the nation in half creating East and West Gaul via a wall. Many economic and military sanctions on the two nations. Thirty years before the start of the series, Mada and Fabian Lanoire moved to Goa City in search o fa better life. In the decades they have been living in Edge Town,they had sixteen children.

In Goa city there are several immigrant neighborhoods in Edge Town. There are people from several nations in these various neighborhoods. The people are from: Dressrosa, West Gaul, East Gaul, Rigveda (OP's version of India),Zhongguo (OP's version of China), Kikuyu (OP's version of Kenya) and Alabsta . These people bring their customs, religions and languages to the kingdom. The immigrant communities faced xenophobia from some people in Edge Town and Town Central. They were treated worse by the nobles, but the nobles would hire immigrants and second generation immigrants to work in their homes because they could pay them less.

Girls from immigrant families are viewed as 'exotic' and there is a practice called 'forced mistress' where girls and young women from immigrant families were taken and sold to other nobles (The Nobles viewed their servants as more or less their property). The girls sold are from the ages of 15-19, and once the mistress turned thirty she was deported (it didn't matter if they had been born in Goa). A mistress' life would end if she did any of the following; sleeping with another person that was not her master, getting pregnant by her master or another man, attempting to run away or to tell anyone the truth (that they were just for all intensive purposes were sex slaves bound to the man they were sold to). Marietta was forced into this lifestyle after Lord Treven (he's based off the kid that attacked Sabo with a knife in episode 496) failed to get Marietta's older sister Cosette. Each mistress is forced to wear traditional garb from their culture or clothes that would make a person think of their culture. Also the garb is used as a means of keeping them from running away.

Chapter One

Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes. Tell myself it's time now, gotta let go; but moving on from him is impossible when I still see it all in my head...." Taylor Swift 'Red'.
