- ―Persimmon
Persimmon, also known as Lord Persimmon, is a character in Magical Starsign. He works for the astro pirates as Chard's informant under Master Kale, but is mostly unknown amongst the crew.
Profile
Persimmon thinks very highly of himself, professing to be in close contact with Chard despite ranking very low among the astro pirates. He tends to be very verbose, so as to sound smarter than he actually is.
Persimmon is a reptilian male with cyan scales, purple eyes, and purple frills. He is dressed elegantly, sporting a pirate's hat with blue gems and gold trim and matching purple robes. Underneath his robes, he is dressed like a typical pirate, sporting a white shirt, baggy blue-and-white striped pants, and brown boots.

Biography
Magical Starsign
The party encountered Persimmon in Salamander Cave on Gren, who proudly introduced himself as a member of Chard's lowest ranks, tasked with bringing any magicians he found to the pirate town Assam. After Durum, Farina, and Semolina were exiled from Tropica Village, Persimmon prepared to take Farina to Assam, seeing as she was a magician; unbeknownst to him, Durum had Farina and Semolina to swap identities to keep the former safe, and to restore his credibility among Tropica's felins. The students would chase Pico and Sorbet into Assam, where Persimmon and a band of pirate otters prepared to set sail to Razen with "Farina" in tow. Persimmon unleashed the peacock fish upon the group, though after it was defeated, he and "Farina" hopped aboard his ship and took off into space. At the last second, Sorbet hopped on the ship and joined the pirates on their voyage to Razen.
After the students reunited with Sorbet later on, they ventured to Cassia in search of the water millennium gummy. At Port Pescato's harbor, they spotted Persimmon and Caldarroste discussing plans to improve their reputation among Chard's underlings. According to the two, the Space Police were attempting to claim treasure hidden by pirates, but argued that the treasure belonged solely to Cassia. They sailed together to Granule Island and eventually arrived at Holy Water Pyramid, where a squadron of Space Policemen led by Abalon Demar were attempting to take the water gummy. Once Demar was defeated, the squadron evacuated, allowing Caldarroste to steal the gummy while no one was looking. However, he and Persimmon got into an argument over its ownership outside the pyramid, though Persimmon managed to run off with it. Luckily, Parfait ambushed him and tied him up with rope, to which the students confiscated the gummy.
Persimmon and Caldarroste continued to pursue the students, eventually returning to Razen during the astro pirates and Space Police's invasion. They arrived in the rocket hangar atop Condimen Tower, watching as the students boarded a fully upgraded Neumann. Before liftoff, Persimmon urged his ally to sneak on board, but warned him not to face their adversaries head-on. Caldarroste asked about a "design flaw" Persimmon mentioned that could give the pirates the upper hand, when suddenly, the roof of the hangar opened up. With no time left, Caldarroste was pushed onto Neumann's wing and he stowed away in a secret compartment before blasting off to Nova.
Trivia
- Persimmon's species is never explicitly stated, though Pico calls him a crocodile in English and in Japanese.[1]
- Although in the English localization, a Space Police officer refers to Persimmon as Chard's 432nd-in-command, he is simply a low-ranking pirate in Japanese.[3]
- When meeting him for the first time in Japanese, he introduces himself as Master Bloody Sanguine, age 127.[2] In the English localization, he instead calls himself the "Embellisher," and his age goes unmentioned.
Nomenclature
His name comes from persimmon, an edible fruit predominantly cultivated in China.
