*Metis is a personification of the asteroid 9 Metis.*

**Metis** (minor planet designation: **9 Metis**) is one of the larger main-belt asteroids. It is composed of silicates and metallic nickel-iron, and may be the core remnant of a large asteroid that was destroyed by an ancient collision. Metis is estimated to contain just under half a percent of the total mass of the asteroid belt.

Metis also appears to be slightly based on **Metis** of Greek Mythology, due to their knowledge in Celestial biology.

## Trivia

* They apparently contain **chrysoberyl** geodes.
	+ The mineral or gemstone chrysoberyl is an aluminate of beryllium with the formula BeAl2O4. The name chrysoberyl is derived from the Greek words χρυσός *chrysos* and βήρυλλος *beryllos*, meaning "a gold-white spar". Despite the similarity of their names, chrysoberyl and beryl are two completely different gemstones, although they both contain beryllium. Chrysoberyl is the third-hardest frequently encountered natural gemstone and lies at 8.5 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.
	+ Chrysoberyl is also stated to be Metis' favorite gem.
* Metis' favorite movie genre is **drama**.
* Metis' name is strikingly similar to the name of the demon scientist Mephis Serizawa, though it is unknown if the two have any connection.
* For unknown reasons, Metis does not seem to have a page on Uchinokomato.me.
