Profile

Etymology (medium): name = French chandelle / Latin candela, “candle” — the light imagery attached to her (“light of my life”; Esperia’s “two great stars”). Design model: the wiki identifies her as based on Oscar François de Jarjayes of The Rose of Versailles (Riyoko Ikeda’s French-Revolution manga Oda read — Ch. 945 author comment): a cross-dressing sword-captain of the royal guard, matching Candelle’s Battle-Convoy-captain role and sword-at-hip reveal (p. 19). Second One Piece character based on Oscar (after Yamato). Sourced: One Piece Wiki Candelle trivia. See etymology: frontmatter.
