More about Rebecca from the One Piece series
Rebecca, the daughter of Scarlett and Kyros, holds familial ties to Viola and Riku Doldo III as their niece and granddaughter, respectively. Previously the crown princess of Dressrosa, she willingly relinquished her title to reside with her father. Presently, she fulfills the role of a lady-in-waiting to her aunt, Viola. During the oppressive rule of Donquixote Doflamingo, she endured imprisonment and was coerced into participating in gladiatorial combat at the Corrida Colosseum.
Taking part in a tournament to acquire the Mera Mera no Mi, she emerged victorious in the D Block but ultimately lost in the finals to Sabo, who claimed the Devil Fruit. Throughout the Dressrosa arc, she aligned herself with the Straw Hat Pirates as a steadfast ally.

Siwen has done a splendid job in cosplaying Rebecca from the series. While most members of the anime and manga community appreciated the cosplayer's efforts, there were quite a few derogatory comments as well. Despite such hurdles, the cosplayer was able to pull off an accurate representation of Rebecca, the former crown princess of Dressrosa.
