GENDER: |
| Female |
APPEARANCE: |
| Monet isn’t very model-esque in terms of her height, but her flawless face, long silky black locks, and golden brown skin beg to differ. Her chocolate brown eyes always hold a mischievous gleam and her smiles are just as questionable, making one wonder what M is thinking. She rarely ever wears make up, aside from eye shadow and lip gloss, her ego far too large to hide away under such things. Her hair is usually worn down in its natural straightness or curled to impress, as Monet loves her natural look. She’s a little conceited, but that goes hand in hand with her clean look.
She stands 5’7”, still being taller than some girls and has a general body like a goddess and works hard to keep her body in such a shape. Her small waist and long legs are extenuated by her immaculate way of dressing herself. Fashion has been a love of hers from the years when she was a kid and didn’t change once she arrived in America. She always makes sure she is dressed to a T at all times. From all this, It’s easy to see why one would mistake Monet's power as perfection in itself. Her style is best described as preppy as she is usually seen in some snazzy outfit. Mo is never too good for some lounge clothes though, just seen in them less frequently. |

DEMEANOR: |
| Perfectionist |
NATURE: |
| Visionary |
PERSONALITY: |
| The stuck up perfectionist is the first impression that most people get from Monet. A brat from a rich family might be another view a person might have and both are true to an extent. Knowing her values to be the best and to be competitive about nearly everything in her life is what keeps her from making friends. Monet is a social butterfly, so meeting people and talking is her game. Her only problem is she doesn’t like to play nice all the time and she doesn’t know when to shut her mouth about certain things.
Monet is naturally good at most things and hiding it is far from her mind. Around her, few people get to shine other than herself. She’s used to being Miss Popular and people loving her, but now she is struggling to keep a connection with anyone. With this being said, she tries to beat back her bad habits and comes off a little strange as she tries to see eye to eye with people.
She is also very judgmental, having a heavyset view on people the moment she meets them from what they say to the things they wear. This being said, she definitely isn’t the person to confide in. “I told you so,” is bound to come out of her mouth instead of supportive words. This all springs from her distrust of people. Her brother’s hateful ways and past back stabbings from “friends” have taught her to not trust a soul. Monet won’t show her emotions in public as it shows weakness and doesn’t confide in people in fear of it being used against her. People are very aware of her perfections and the things she is good at, but they still don’t really know her. In truth, she really hides behind her newly formed powers and perfection to protect herself, the only thing she seems to really care about.
What people don't realize, however, is her anger issues. Monet won't fail to resort to childish ways if she doesn't get her way. Not the mention getting jealous over things. She may seem mature, but she is far from it. This anger seems to make Monet into a scatterbrain, with little or no tact to her actions. |
GOALS: |
| Monet's number one priority is to gain control of her mutant abilities. As for career goals, well Monet has no real career goals to be honest, but she has noticed that her abilities would make her perfect for the position of doctor, but her love for clothing and what not warrants her to perhaps enter the fashion business. |

SPECIAL ABILITIES
ADVANTAGES: |
| ATTRACTIVE - When Monet enters the room all eyes are on her. Her flawless face and overall clean dress attract even a momentary glance and a turn of heads as she walks by, her perfume following in her wake. Her attention to detail about how she carries herself never goes unnoticed. Monet is an exotic beauty and never fails to flaunt it.
FLIRTATIOUS - Flirting is hard work, whether you are good at it or not. Monet has the ability to catch a person’s interest and keep it. This can make her extremely persuasive when she wants to be.
CONFIDENCE - Monet oozes confidence from her mysterious smirk right down to her strong walk. She has a way about her that she is ready for anything. To some this is confidence. To others, it’s just plain cocky. Though how many people do you know who can stand naked in front of a room of people and not even try to cover anything? M’s that person. She posed nude in front of a college art class once.
QUICK LEARNER - Figuring out how things worked has never been hard with Monet’s thought process. If she plays around with something long enough or sees something done once, she’ll have it down. Things such as school studies, learning languages and martial arts have always come easy to her.
PERFECTIONIST - Either things are in their right place or it rubs Monet the wrong way… almost as if she was obsessive compulsive. She has to make sure everything in her life has an air of perfection. In that same way, she won’t let people do things for her, because they can’t do it right. Plus, she just loves the feeling of being better than you. |
POWERS: |
| HYPER-STRENGTH - With her ability to take people down a notch through her words, she can knock them out with a punch and not a girly one at that. M can bench press about 5 tons without breaking a sweat. Her muscle mass does not show even through this ability. She can run and fly with this weight, with some trouble, but it is possible.
LIMITED INVULNERABILITY - M can take a hit better than most, but bullets and being stabbed with enough force behind it will still injure her. She also has 'minor' immunity includes the following resistances: fire, heat, cold, electricity, radiation, corrosives, disease, poison, brute force, sonics, and kinetic bolts. This is at above normal levels. It takes a lot for M to get cold, hot, or even sick with common illnesses. However she couldn't resist mutant powers used against her just yet.
HYPER-SPEED - Monet discovered this power while practicing some moves on the soccer field. Thankfully, she was alone when she started to burn through the grass. Her fastest speed is about 95 miles per hour through her own personal training. Once she pushed herself all the way to 120 but had to rest for more than two days and her muscles ached too much to even walk. She can hold the speed of 75 mph for about 45 minutes before she starts to slow down.
FLIGHT - Finding out that she had the ability to fly was one of the last abilities M stumbled upon. She is able to fly without the help of wings allowing her to move. The fastest speed that M has been able to reach was about 50 miles per hour, but only for a short time of 10 minutes before she was forced to rest. She pushes herself continuously to be able to increase her speeds and shorten her rest time as her powers continue to evolve.
M has been working on this power for a few months now since her coming to the Institute and certainly has better control than she first had when M developed the power.
This power is one of the ones she exercises the most, and from this she can make immediate turns and has an easy time completely changing direction at top speeds. In contrast, she has variable landings that can range from perfect stance to a jogging stop. The same counts for the sky as she sometimes has problems stopping immediately. M does, however, have a great sense of gravity and is able to right herself and realize which direction she is pointed in (upside down or right side up). Aerial combat is also an advantage she has, being able to keep herself in the air as she fights and balance out the lack of ground in her fighting.
ENHANCED SENSES - M's sight and hearing were advanced with the accumulation of her powers. Her sight increased ten-fold to the point where she can see things far away (up to 5 miles) and has increased vision when it is dark. Resistant to air current while flying in the skies without need of goggles or headwear.
M's hearing is above average. She cannot control the distance that she can hear at this point in time. However, she does have the ability to hear a person talking in their normal voice 10 to 15 feet away and can definitely hear whispering from within a confined room. |
FIGHTING SKILLS: |
| ASSESSMENT - Coming into a room full of chaos and disorder, Monet would be one of the first to comprehend what happened, always quick to analyze a situation or size a person up.
ATHLETICS - Monet LOVES soccer and has idolized the sport since she was a child. Soccer, swimming, ice skating, gymnastics, and skiing are the few sports she has expressed interest in and succeeded at.
COMBAT STYLE (MARTIAL ARTS) - Muay Thai and Tae Kwon Do are the two martial arts that she has experience in, and she takes great care in preserving what she’s learned by training as often as possible. One of her greatest fears is being unable to defend herself one day. It started off as a way for her to protect herself (her father’s orders) and ended up being an activity that she couldn’t imagine going without.
COMPUTERS - If it has wires in it, most likely Monet can hack it, program it, or generally use it. She one day hopes that having such a knowledge would help her in running the family business.
LEADERSHIP - Although she is known for her big mouth and need to be superior, if the situation ever calls for it, Monet knows she can be a leader to the people around her… as long as they are willing to listen to her. |
DISADVANTAGES: |
| COMPULSIVE SPEECH - This girl just can’t help herself sometimes and almost always has something “smart” to say or to once more rub in just how much better she is than another person. That just never gets old to her, but it annoys the people around her. She makes enemies faster than she makes friends.
CULTURAL SNOB - Monet loves her beloved Europe and wouldn't have it any other way. Americans were the last things she wanted to have to deal with. Their terrible mixed culture, overweightness, and general laziness were all things she was disgusted by... and that was the short list. She holds a constant bias against Americans that makes butting heads with people all the more easier and creates more of a snob image in others' minds.
MEGALOMANIA – Competition is one of Monet’s greatest weakness. She’ll do anything to out do someone else. Even at the height of danger, she looks to come out first when her life may be at risk. She finds easy ways to make anything she does into a competition. In the end, it’s all about survival of the fittest. This obsession of hers tends to blur the lines if she can be trusted to go back for an teammate or finish a mission on her own.
MORTAL - She can be killed, she can catch colds, and does bleed for what it’s worth. No, its not easy to do it, but these things can happen.
CATATONIA – Monet sometimes has moments of catatonic stupor where she is unable to move at all and she appears to stare off into space having no awareness of the things around her. Supposedly, this was caused by the manifestation of her powers. These comes off as a “black-out” of sorts. These episodes only last a few minutes. |

HISTORY
Monet Yvette Clarisse Maria Therese St. Croix was born a native Algerian to a lucrative family. Her father, Cartier St. Croix is the owner of several businesses and is a multi-millionaire. Monet was raised in an environment of extreme wealth, power and education. She is a fast learner and definitely a threat to all that oppose her. She grew up in Monaco with her brother, Marius, her father and her mother. She had nothing but the best schooling and the best training from the day she was born.
Her sisters Claudette and Nicole were born in Yugoslavia, so Monet spent a great deal of her time there before she traveled the world with her father. Mostly Europe was her favorite. Monet has three passports: one French, one Algerian and one Yugoslavian (hence the long name). She had a great deal of arguments with her brother, Marius, who had constantly stated that she was egotistical, rude, selfish and self-righteous and one day she was going to pay penance for her sins. She laughed him off and in her spare time, she socialized, went to clubs, stores and spent time with her twin sisters. Monet was her father's pride and joy.
Then a most curious thing happened, Monet discovered that her strength had increased dramatically day after day. She discovered that she had the ability to memorize everything. It had occurred to her right away that she was a mutant and had no choice but to tell her father. Of course, Monet had every capability to master her abilities on her own but Cartier INSISTED that she go to a specialized school for the gifted. The Xavier Institute, which was located all the way away in America. She trivialized the events and didn't see any reason to go. She could handle herself.
However, Daddy knew best and the Algerian Princess was dropped off at the Xavier Institute. At first the girl had a hard time dealing with the commoners that plagued the school, so she decided that she wasn't ready just yet and it would be best to travel abroad with her Father. Her father agreed but not without her studying with various tutors of his choosing.
Reluctantly M agreed and began studying various subjects. From self defense, to computers and business. It was as if her Dad was grooming her for something greater in the future. During a business trip to the Caribbean, Monet began having blackouts and awakening to find herself floating into the ceiling. At first she didn't say much to her dad, but eventually it got so bad that she spent one evening unable to land onto the ground.
Scared for his daughter's safety Cartier called Professor Xavier and explained what happened. Unable to load his daughter on a plane and fly her back to New York, he paid for Professor Xavier to make a house call. Using his ability, the Professor helped Monet down from her current situation, suppressing her new found power until she was able to learn how to control it. That evening Monet and Professor X took a private jet back to New York; beginning Monet's enrollment into the Xavier Institute.
