Nefertari Vivi first appears as a member of Baroque Works, a criminal organization that was behind several scandals in the country of Alabasta, under the alias Miss Wednesday. It is revealed that Vivi is actually the princess of Alabasta, but infiltrated Baroque Works to find the identity of their leader, who turns out to be the Shichibukai member Sir Crocodile. With help from the Straw Hat Crew, she hopes to save her country from ruin. Vivi does not fit the stereotype of a needy and authoritative princess, never demanding any special attention or prioritizing herself above others. In fact, she usually puts the needs of others far above her own and is hesitant to rely on others or ask for help with her problems. In particular, she places an enormous value on the citizens of her country and the lives of her friends. She is also extremely brave and determined, going up against powerful enemies for her friends' sake, even when clearly outmatched. Her selflessness and sense of responsibility push her to carry her country's burden. She is slow to anger and quick to forgive but fiercely loyal to her friends, her family, and her country. Because of this loyalty and bravery, she is willing to make virtually any sacrifice to protect and serve them.
