Karera Sakunami
Karera Sakunami (作並 カレラ, Sakunami Karera) is a character featured in Part VIII: JoJolion.
Appearance
Karera is a young woman of slim build and average height. She has long, dark hair and her bangs are styled into multiple, large curls. On her head, she wears a fish-print bandana. Her outfit consists of a dark-colored crop top with a zipper in the front, a long vest, and a pair of shorts. During her first appearance, she wears a pair of heeled gladiator sandals. Later on, she wears striped thigh high socks with a pair of ocean-themed heels decorated with stars and seashells.
Personality
Karera is self-centered, caring only about herself and what the future brings. She hates to dwell on the past, going so far as to completely avoid associating herself with it, except for her unrecquited love for Josefumi Kujo. She is also a successful con-woman, using her Stand to accomplish her cons and make away with enough money to get by on her own.
Stand
Karera's Stand Love Love Deluxe gives her control over other people's hair, growing it on their heads, and even on other things that they had touched such as a grilled chicken ball or an ATM's LCD screen.
Synopsis
History
Karera is introduced as a mysterious woman who lures Josuke into a back alley, having mistook him for another person. She is revealed to have some familiarity with Yoshikage Kira and Josuke's other half. She's eventually convinced that Josuke was the one she mistook him for after he uses his stand to obtain her name through the card in her back pocket wallet. After the exchange, she borrows money from him and swindles a free meal from a yakitori shop by producing a hair from a tsukune using a stand ability.
Later she and Josuke go to a cafe in downtown Morioh where she shoves various items in a plastic bag, before eating bread with sugar and soy sauce, later offering it to Josuke claiming it tastes like Sukiyaki. After she cleans the spaces in between her toes with a napkin dipped in water, she walks into the bathroom with an old man using her stand power to grow hair on his head which is interrupted by Josuke, who mistakenly thought she was prostituting herself. She later explains to Josuke that she gets paid growing hair on the heads of men (while they are in her stand's radius), and replies to Josuke's interrogation of her that she loves him, not caring for her family and that she lives in the present. Immediately after that she yells at two men for staring at her before leaving the cafe.
Outside the cafe, Karera shows Josuke the photo of his other half, herself and Yoshikage Kira in addition to calling him by his real name, before using her stand to steal an ATM card belonging to one of the men she yelled at. She later uses her stand to get the number of the ATM and steal money to 'treat' Josuke, when in reality she went shopping to buy various items including a computer for her dream as a fashion designer before going in a cab planning on going to Kira's apartment and Josefumi's house, using her stand in the process to scam the cab driver into a free ride.
Afterwards, they walk down the road to Kira's place before Josuke told her that Kira was dead, causing her to break down under the assumption that he was murdered and reveal to him that Kira owned a Rokakaka Tree in addition of disposing of several more. Then Josuke spots one of the A-un Twins and asks if she knew him, which she denies. Shortly after she is lit aflame by the older brother's ability and extinguished by Soft & Wet before later fleeing.
