Luna

**Person**

 **Body Part**

 **First Appearance**

**Luna** is the monster of Claire, formed from her spine.

## Biology

Luna is unable to clearly convey her emotions visually, as the bone comprising her face does not allow for much expression.  However, Luna's eyes can occasionally make up for this, such as widening in fear, or closing cheerfully as though she was smiling.

Luna seems to be a lightweight monster, as an adult man was able to carry both her and Claire at the same time.

## Abilities

Luna is capable of rotating her torso at rapid speeds. Combined with her sharp appendages, Luna can strike with a force akin to a sawblade.

## History

During the events of Chapter 23, Claire was kidnapped by SHELL, along with Ray, Ozzy, and Enid. Wanda Lulenski and Michael Rjinder proceeded to introduce a ghost to the body of each child. This procedure would lead to the creation of Luna, as well as Cav, Drummer, and the head monster known as Enid.

Lulenski and Rjinder told the children that they could be recombined with their monsters if they apprehended four targets: Bina Blum and her monster Ayo, Julie Greathouse and her monster Kera, Abel Flores and his monster Rixis, and Desmond West and his monster Guuzy. Until then, they were instructed to remain in the apartment.

At some point, the new team located their targets, seemingly through the use of Drummer's heightened hearing abilities. Claire and Luna were sent to apprehend Julie and Kera in the Greathouse home. Claire had Luna approach from the front door, engaging in a fight with Kera, while Claire approached from behind. However, Claire was still terrified of Luna, and ended up hiding in the bathroom, afraid that she would become Luna's next target. Violet was able to find Claire using her scanning powers, and she brought Claire and Luna back together, using her powers again to calm them both down and keeping them sedated while Kera flew them off somewhere in the woods.

At some point in the evening, Claire and Luna somehow made their way back to the apartment.

## Relationships

### Claire

Luna wants Claire to trust her, and form a bond like other humans have with their monsters. But Claire's fear and hatred of Luna keeps Luna afraid of Claire. With the help of Violet Le Blanc, Claire began to trust Luna more, almost able to give her physical affection. However, the field accident that resulted in Luna piercing Ayo seemed to cause temporary conflict between the two once more.

Despite this, Claire still trusted Luna enough to call her into battle on her own, even without Violet assisting her. Claire and Luna defended Antler Pine from several creatures unleashed by Big Lulenski, along with the other monster children.

Later that night, Claire was able to confide her concerns about Violet to Luna, and Luna was able to offer comfort in return, even resulting in the first physical affection between the two.

## Trivia

* Luna's name is a play on *Clair de Lune*.
* Ray made Claire name Luna.
* Luna is referred to by the pronoun "it" as late as Chapter 28. As Claire and Luna's relationship improves with Violet's help in Chapter 31, Claire and others begin to refer to Luna as "she". (Though Claire did initially refer to Luna as "she" in Chapter 22, she reverted to calling her "it" shortly after)
* Of the four monsters from her original team, Luna is the only monster that did not take a part from the head.
	+ She is also the only monster that never fought Guuzy.
* Luna's design may be a play on the word *bony*, as a portmanteau of *bone* and *bunny*.
