02Appearance
Sugar Mountain has the appearance of a young girl, with dark hair in a hime cut and straight, eyebrow-level bangs. She wears a bonnet, a necklace in the shape of a cluster of grapes, a short dark dress with a light one underneath, leopard-patterned sleeves, and long socks with a pair of leather boots.↗
03Personality
Behaving much like a young child with a vivid imagination, Sugar Mountain does not seem to have aged physically or mentally during the roughly fifty years she spent bound to the Tree. She passes her time playing make-believe with dolls made from cloth and twigs, and has drawn rooms for an entire 'house' within the tree-hollow she lives in. Johnny deduces that she is nearly blind, noticing the mark of a cane around her abode.↗
04Story
SPOILERS
At one point in the past, Sugar Mountain and her parents encountered the great tree. Her father had dropped an axe and managed to acquire it back from the guardian, plus a golden axe for being honest. However, Sugar Mountain's family failed in using it up before sunset and they were turned into tree fruits, slumbering for so many years Sugar Mountain lost count of the time. It is estimated that she was prisoner of the tree for about 50 years.↗
She encounters Gyro and Johnny while they search for the ears and right arm of the Saint's Corpse after she steals one of Gyro's Steel Balls. After a brief introduction, Gyro attempts to search for it in her Tree. She asks the pair a series of questions, offering in an exchange not only Gyro's Ball, but money, a piece of gold ore and a few gemstones.↗
A sort of game emerges to Gyro's understanding. When he severs the ears of the rabbit Johnny caught earlier and drops it into the spring by the Tree, Sugar Mountain produces the ears of the Corpse, to her surprise. At some point before departing her, Gyro also drops one of the rabbit's arms, retrieving the Corpse's right arm in exchange.↗↗↗
As per the rules of the Tree's Stand, Sugar Mountain; Johnny and Gyro are obligated to use or spend everything they gained in their exchange with her before sunset, under threat of the both of them joining the the Tree's collection of inanimate human "fruits."↗
When they succeed, Sugar Mountain, along with her parents, are released from the Tree.↗
