**Argent** is a major protagonist in the 2003 Cartoon Network's *Teen Titans*. She possesses the power to generate and manipulate energy emanating from her palms, as well as levitate and fly at supersonic speeds. A devoted superheroine and passionate goth, Argent is strong-willed young woman who takes her duties seriously and works hard as both a member of the Teen Titans and as a protector of the innocents.

In her debut, she forms an immediate friendship with Starfire.

## Background

Antonia Louise Monetti was born and raised in London, England. As a teenager, she was rebellious often skipping school and maintained a strong interest in gothic activities like rock bands. This caused her to have an estranged relationship with her parents, who disapproved of her lifestyle. One day however, Argent was accidentally exposed to a strange form of radiation which gave her the powers to fly along the ability to manipulate and generate energy from her hands. It also left her with silver skin and part of her hair to turn red. Deciding to use her powers for good, Argent ran away from home and started her career as a loner superheroine. She gained a strong reputation for herself as she traveled around the world fighting supervillains and saving lives. This earned her praise and respect from many other heroes, despite her young age.

## Personality

Before becoming superheroine, Argent was loner who preferred being on her own and didn’t make many attempts to make friends with others. She was very introverted who kept to herself and liked doing this her own way. She was very gothic with black being her favorite color. She also somewhat of a rebel and did not care very much for authority as she would constantly cut class regardless of the consequences. However, despite her attitude and bad habits, Argent had an incredibly strong morale compass, deciding to use her powers for good immediately after acquiring them, and without a second thought.

Upon becoming a superheroine, Argent retained most her pre-hero personality, but also developed a more serious and professional attitude as well. She stays focused at the task at hand does so with a calm attitude, rarely losing her composure. She remains introverted but too a much less extent than before, as she does except help from others and is appreciative of aid even when she does not ask for it. This sentiment, increases after joins the Teen Titans; becoming far less introverted and forming close, practically familial, bonds with her teammates. She also considers protecting civilians to be the first priority of a hero and only fights when she is sure no innocent bystanders will get hurt. When she does battle she is fierce and not afraid to deal serious, though nonfatal, injuries on to her opponents.

While on duty, Argent tries to act as serious, calm, and professional as possible. She also retains a sarcastic/dry sense of humor. However, it has also been shown that deep down Argent is, in truth, fun-loving, laid back, and joyful, though she tends not to show this side of hers. She enjoys listening to rock bands and has a strong taste for gothic clothing. When these subjects are brought up she becomes much more happy and excited.

Despite this, Argent isn’t without her insecurities; some of her seriousness and calmness is used to hide her secretive stress of being a superheroine, as worries she is truly meeting her own expectations. Another insecurity is her relationship with her parents, with whom she very estranged from, so much that she didn’t even say goodbye when she left home and never contacted during her time as a heroine.
