Monu

Monu is a girl who appears periodically throughout the greater Fantendoverse, she wields the Spirit of Combat and is a part of Chulu's Group. She has a vested interest in becoming skilled in every form of combat and to keep the Spirit of Combat quelled.
==Appearance==
Monu is an otherwise normal human who dressed in strange attire, although initially believed to just be her style, it is something that she wears like the rest of her family as her father also wears similar clothing. The most distinct piece of clothing is her hooded poncho, nicknamed Benny. The Poncho is Pink-Red in colour with large googly eyes on the top, one magenta and one green with a pair of large monster-like ears and a tooth like pattern on the top of the hood. The poncho portion has two bands if wavy bright pink along them. Monu herself also wears typically an orange jumper, with pockets on the front. She also wears purple trousers and black boots, the trousers having thin stripes on them.
Monu herself has black hair that is wild and unkempt, she has two long bangs which hang over her shoulders and two smaller tufts of hair which flick upwards. What is distinct about Monu from most humans is her eyes, as a result of the Spirit of Combat, Monu has star-shaped eyes which are visibly distinct from her father's regular eyes. Monu also carries around a large Flamberge she calls the Bronze Age which has a radiant copper-coloured blade and a crimson-red grip.
==Personality==
Monu is normally a very friendly individual as well as outgoing, often trying to be friends with anyone she meets. She has a complete lack of fear when it comes to the potential of being killed, this stemming from an overconfidence in her abilities, she is however scared of other things, particularly heights as well as insects. Though she often makes friends with the people she meets she also has an insatiable hunger for combat spurred by the Spirit of Combat, as such the longer she goes without fighting someone or something the more agitated Monu tends to get which is both bad for her and those around her, fortunately she's easily able to quell the hunger for combat with training dummies, her favourite being Extrasensory Cuboid Training Dummy (ECTD) who over the years has become fairly battle damaged.
Monu also has a fascination with weapons, often going to great speeches about the different weapons in her collection and she'll often flaunt Bronze Age around declaring it to be the greatest weapon ever made, although she actually loses more often when using Bronze Age than when she just uses her fists.
After being ejected from the Fantendoverse, Monu seems to have lost a significant degree of the Spirit of Combat's control over her, not only being able to better repress the desire to fight but also losing a degree of her strength. Although she is weaker than before she still holds great pride in her combat skills which she'd honed when she was younger and continues to do so. Monu still mostly trains on the ECTD more so as a means of bettering her skills rather than simply just keeping the Spirit of Combat under control.
==Abilities==
Prior to her ejection from the Fantendoverse Monu was able to utilize the Spirit of Combat to adopt various fighting styles she'd come across, this was distinct from her general weapons training as she applied these styles to the weapon she was currently using. Since being ejected however Monu's ability to access her combat styles is general stifled and she is limited to her own abilities, the styles to sometimes manifest although Monu's control on them without the full power of the Spirit of Combat is weak and chaotic often providing her next to no benefits.
Monu's two main means of attack without the styles are the Bronze Age, her Flamberge which is capable of rapidly increasing its temperature in response to the user's grip allowing Monu to effectively use it like a Flaming Sword, her general skill with the blade is quite high and was retained once she arrived in Ångström.
Monu's other major means of attack are her bare fists, whenever she's disarmed Monu will instinctively just rely on her fists rather than trying to get the Bronze Age back, her general hand-to-hand Combat isn't as refined as her skill with the blade although this is mainly because Monu obsessively focused on one specific move, the Chokehold, which Monu will always attempt to go for with the only exception being to try and wind the target with a Sucker Punch beforehand to disorientate them. Monu learnt the basic Chokehold from her father and has a surgical precision with her technique, being able to find critical points in the target's neck and block them, although if she's not familiar with the species the technique is less effective and is outright ineffective against undead enemies and robots.
==Appearances==
===Monster of Flames===
Monu is a minor character in Monster of Flames, appearing as the game's superboss, she is one of only a few enemies in the game who can swap combat styles during their fight, the others also being bosses. Monu only uses Panda Style and Beorn Style in this battle.
===The Tribulations of Chulu: Shelter from Foul Realities===
Monu appeared as one of the playable characters in Shelter from Foul Realities, where she was visiting the Prison Colony simply out of an interest to explore, she's one of the first companions Chulu meets in the game and decides to help Chulu out without really asking. Monu and Chulu end up forming a friendship following this and stick together to track down the rest of the pages in the Prison Colony as well as beyond.
==Relationships==
===Chulu===
Chulu and Monu are very close friends, often being able to rely on one another in tough situations, they've been referred to as partners in crime due to their somewhat chaotic tendencies when it comes to retrieving the pages of the Arg'Noktra, although the greater cause does seem to justify their actions for them. Monu has personally described their relationship as like a jigsaw puzzle as they each compliment each others strengths and weaknesses extremely well and believes that they may have the potential to fight deity-level individuals, although this is also equally likely Monu just wanting to fight a deity-level individual because she wants to rather than actual confidence in their fighting ability.
Chulu herself tends to consider Monu as an acceptable bad influence, Chulu herself noting that when Monu's around she's often more eager to pick a fight just cause it's more fun that way, although she has attempted to curb this tendency as of late substituting it with fighting Monu in-between missions. Monu actually seems to consider this arrangement better anyhow since Chulu's constantly changing roster of abilities makes her unpredictable for Monu and forces her to do better, Monu also seems to be gradually learning some of Chulu's more basic abilities, having slowly developed what she calls Chulu Style, the only post-ejection style that Monu seems to recognize as being viable for use in combat.
===Monu's Dad===
Monu's outlook on her father is generally extremely positive, his innate skill in combat influenced her even before becoming the vessel of the Spirit of Combat, after which the influence was only amplified. Monu notes that her father is a bit simple at times, often preferring a peaceful and tranquil life, often much to Monu's chagrin, however her father's patience often helps Monu vent her own frustrations as he can keep his cool in combat letting Monu go all out until she exhausts herself without worrying about him getting hurt.
Due to her ejection from the Fantendoverse Monu also appears to feel somewhat guilty around her father, seemingly because she thinks she doesn't match up to his raw power, although she often attempts to coat this guilt with playfulness and trickery.
