Whitesnake (ホワイトスネイク, Howaitosuneiku) is the primary Stand of Enrico Pucci, featured in Stone Ocean.

Appearance/ Personality

Whitesnake is a humanoid Stand of a height and build similar to Pucci's. It is sparsely clothed in black, with a mask covering its face to the bottom of where its nose would be, in a piece that rises above its head by half its height in a row of peaks, like a crown. Its light skin is marked by horizontal stripes of roughly an inch's height, with "GΔCT" (after the four nucleobases of DNA) repeatedly written on every other stripe.

Whitesnake is sentient, with a cold, scornful and hating personality.

Abilities

Despite its extended range (about 20 meters[1]), Whitesnake displays strength similar to that of close-range Stands; capable of stabbing Diver Down and Foo Fighters with its hands.

Stand/Memory DISC Creation: Whitesnake's primary ability is to transform either a person's memories or their Stand (spirit) into humanly tangible discs. These "DISC"s may be inserted into other people, allowing them to either read memories or use Stands stored there.

Stand DISCs may reject hosts (such as Star Platinum's did Jolyne). Extant DISCs survive Whitesnake's transformations, and are indestructible unless inserted into a dying person.

It also shows the ability to insert DISCs other than Stand DISCs into people. This was demonstrated when Pucci inserted a music CD into Guccio's head, causing it to function like a music player, with his mouth becoming the audio speaker.

During the Heavy Weather story arc, Pucci used it to remove his sight.

Digestive Mist: Whitesnake can produce a mist that slowly digests objects like stomach acid. While dissolving, targets of this attack are distracted in a delusional dream-state. Whitesnake may also create sophisticated illusions with this mist, such as impersonating others, for a limited time. Because of the large contrast with his main ability and the only time this ability is shown is when Pucci sets a trap, it might be possible that this power is just a Stand DISC used by Pucci.

Trivia

  • The delta (Δ) sign that replaces Adenine in the pattern on Whitesnake's body may hint at a "missing gene", or Whitesnake's incompleteness, as foreshadowing to C-Moon and Made in Heaven.
