Background
Hot Pants (ホット・パンツ Hotto Pantsu) is a reoccurring side character featured in Steel Ball Run.
Hot Pants competes in the Steel Ball Run race while posing as a man, seemingly a typical participant, but is later revealed to be an agent of Naples and the Vatican working undercover. Her main goal is to investigate the rumours of the Saint Corpse and gather all of its Parts. While not a constantly present ally, she assists Gyro, Johnny, Lucy and even Diego at various points during the race, however; her mission is almost always the focus behind her actions. Hot Pants is a Stand User and wields the tool Stand, Cream Starter.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

Hot Pants can spray a certain amount of flesh to act as a projectile, using her own flesh, or absorbing the flesh of an individual by directly touching them, to use as fuel for her spray. It seems that for small uses, no flesh is needed. The flesh can fly tens of meter in the air if need be, but Hot Pants typically uses the spray within proximity of herself.
If the sprayed flesh touches someone, it fuses with the individual in various harmful or beneficial ways depending on Hot Pants' goal:
- The flesh can directly return to a solid state, potentially blocking respiratory ways and the eyes, suffocating and blinding enemies.
- The flesh can also decompose a person's body upon contact, for instance Ringo Roadagain's hand was cut off this way.
- The flesh can automatically heal someone's wounds, and push out foreign objects to completely heal allies.
- By spraying flesh on someone's face, it can allow the target to freely use it to create a flesh mask and perfectly impersonate someone else. To undo the disguise, the target can simply pull the flesh off.
- Hot Pants can incorporate chemicals inside someone's body, for instance a sleeping drug.
- Hot Pants can incorporate some of her flesh inside someone to manipulate their body. The one instance of this application was to make Mike O.'s throat explode.
Hot Pants can transform her whole body into fuel for the spray, allowing her to become more liquid-like and creep through narrow spaces, infiltrating a presidential residence this way. She can also detach body parts such as a hand with Cream Starter and spray them away to attack and act from unexpected angles. A downside of this ability is a detached body part transfers any pain it feels back to the user.
