Manon Legrand

Manon Legrand, also known as the Judoka Ballet Dancer, is the supporting character of the Street Fighter games. She makes her debut as one of the new characters in Street Fighter 6. She is a French judoka fighter, who's also a ballet dancer & model.
She is voiced by Ayaka Fukuhara in the Japanese version, and by Cherami Leigh in the English version.
==Overview==
A super model and world champion judoka, Manon is an idealist, forever seeking self-improvement in the pursuit of beauty. She struts the catwalk of street fighting to become the world's strongest model.
==Appearance==
Manon Legrand is a French woman with short light pink hair with hime-cut bangs and longer fringes in each side of her hair, reminiscent of a swan. In her default outfit, she wears a royal blue singlet with red, white and blue streaks, and with cutouts around her torso and hips. Embedded on her collar is a gold medal with two abstract figures, with one throwing the other. On top of her singlet, Manon wears a white gi with a turquoise trim, with the sleeves rolled up and the waist tied with a black judo belt. Her matching blue footguards and wristbands have white stripes across them. Her nails are also painted to look like the French flag.
==Abilities==
Manon is a more nimble and well-rounded take on the classic grappler, having a very flexible toolkit with great gap-closers, combo extenders and, of course, command grabs. The centerpiece of her kit is the Medal System where, for every command grab she lands, she gains up to five medals that persist through all rounds of a match. Each medal gives her grabs a huge boost in damage, letting her snowball in power if left uncontested. While her neutral game is a bit weak by comparison, having committal pokes and limited range, Manon is a fighter that really shines when she's in the lead.
==Personality==
Manon is depicted as being optimistic who seeks herself for her self-improvement in beauty and enjoys street fighting which she wanted to become the world's strongest model by using her main fighting skills. Aside from being idealistic, Manon is also shown to be elitist and prideful and like both Karin Kanzuki and Cody, she loves to fight strong opponents, as seen in her win quotes. Nevertheless, Manon is not without a standard, such as having a strong dislike of people with evil intentions, such as JP.
In her arcade story, Manon also displays her family problems after achieving many sports accomplishments throughout her life. Deep down, she detests being called a "strong" person due to what her mother had said to her younger self before she had left, that Manon would be "just fine" without her because she was "strong". This made Manon become indifferent to any praise and accomplishments and became somewhat aloof, as she believes that it's natural for her to do "just fine" in everything, while deep down Manon hates how people would idolize her "strong" prowess and not caring about her feelings or anyone else's, since Manon believes people treated her as if she would be "just fine" in any situation and viewed her as being perfect and thus unapproachable, resulting into her having trouble of befriending others.
