## Biography

### Early Life

Sometime before 12000 B.C., Monet was born on Mount Attilan, as the firstborn of the royal family of the Gods, as the the daughter of Oberon Cannon, an extremely powerful god and conqueror of various realms. She grew up with various younger siblings, including Rhea, Sirius and had many other half-siblings, whom her father sired with various other mothers. Around 8000 B.C., due to her father's insatiable desire for conquest and to find various realms where he could be feared and loved. After they crossed into the mortal realm, wars greatly intensified as many people were killed by his father. Monet then vowed she wouldn't become like her father.

### Arranged marriage and motherhood

At some point, around 2004, Monet fled Mount Attilan as she didn't want to marry Archer as part of an arranged marriage. She went to Earth, where she couldn't access some of her powers and met a human by the name of Omari Freeman, whom she fell in love with and married. A year later, in March, Monet had a child with Omari, whom she named Angelino, but they called him Lino.

When Lino was three, their home was attacked by Attilan royal guards, though Monet managed to fight them off. It was then she realized that even though the longer she stayed, the more Lino would be in danger. She hoped that the gods would accept him, she knew due to the dangers that would follow her newborn son should he be discovered, Monet was forced to abandon him with his father, an act that affected her deeply. To ensure her child never forgot where he came from, Monet left him her staff and royal family ring as her legacy, and also composed a letter telling him everything about his supernatural heritage to be given to him upon reaching a certain age.

### Conceiving children with Archer

Returning to Mount Attilan, Monet was forced to go through with the marriage and about almost two years later, had twin children, a son and a daughter with Archer named Akira and Archer Jr. It was likely the tyrannical Archer forced himself on her to conceive the twins. Her experience with him made her remember how Omari made her strong. This strength allowed her to take control of her life and took control of the Attilan empire. Sometime after, she gave birth to her daughter, Terra.

## Physical Description

Monet has beautiful cocoa-brown skin and bright green-hazel eyes, which all of her children have. Monet has black and golden hair, which tied into a thick, long braid that goes down to her waist. Her Attilan attire consists of several noble regalia and long dresses and robes around her shoulders.

## Personality

Monet is brave, fearless and caring woman, enough so that even after she had to abandon her child, she still would always visit him on his birthday. She is also stubborn and strong-willed, as she ran away from Attilan to escape an arranged marriage. When she met Omari Freeman, she attacked him at first, upon waking the next morning, she was kind to him. She grew to love him and his world, living with him for several years and even raising their son before she had returned to Attilan.
