-Multis Kwahn, explaining what sort of legacy she wishes to leave to Eon while simultaneously trying to deepen his resolve with tough love.

Multis Kwahn is the deuteragonist of the manga One Neo Eon by Alpha Yu of Shonen Bag Studio. She sees herself as the world's greatest artist. While this is not verifiable, her prodigious popularity, skill, and philosophy have garnered her worldwide fame. Incredibly, she is only nine. Ever snarky, sarcastic, but endearing and sincere on the inside, Multis has taken to taking on Eon as her apprentice, trying to teach what fundamentally cannot be taught. More importantly, she is Eon's best friend. While they start out with a student-teacher relationship, they quickly grow to be extremely loyal friends. While her skills ares immense, Multis hides a secret: She is terminally ill with a strange new illness, her mortality becoming her primary motivator. This has led to an extremely unhealthy burnout mentality which eventually estranged her from her own parents. Undeterred, she continued to jeopardize her health in the name of art. Eventually, Multis' passing due to Unintentional Creation was the final straw that convinced Eon to briefly side with Yamoto's Faction and attempt to become the god of the world.

## History

Born to a Caucasian mother, Victoria; and a first-generation Hong Kong immigrant, Edward; Multis grew up as a westernized second-generation cantonese immigrant. She rejected her overseas heritage as she found it too stifling to connect with her culture and refused to partake in it, instead pursing western art. Her parents grew ever distant form her and soon they ceased to communicate entirely.

It is during this time that Multis won numerous awards and gained worldwide fame, becoming a major figure in the art world. Meanwhile, the illness engineered by the Mainland Chinese crime syndicate, the Siblings of Death, somehow found its way into her, making it so that she would pass away shortly after becoming an adult. Undeterred, Multis continued to create artwork.

Eventually, Multis met Eon at the International Science and Art Expo and while the two were very distrustful of one another at first, after Eon's abandonment, it was Multis who removed the deadly computer virus that Yamoto Daisuke made Satomi Virgil administer to Eon. After playing a cruel trick on Eon to make sure he had what it took to create, Multis offered Eon a place to stay at her apartment in Richmond City's Brighouse district. To hide him from her parents, she lied and said that Eon was a statue, which her parents pretended to believe, motivated by the idea that letting their daughter teach Eon might grant her a friend, something they never gave her. It was around this time that Multis also learned that her illness had worsened and there was a definite chance she would not live past childhood.

After a series of unsuccessful lessons, she introduced Eon to her school's Robtics Club, which turned out to be more helpful for them than him.

One such member of the club, Yumiko Heberu, managed to save Eon and Multis from certain death at the hands of the Hunter, which greatly distressed Multis. Eventually, the stress of teaching Eon caught up to her and she was hospitalized where it was revealed she would die in seven months. Edward Kwahn admitted that he had made a mistake with Multis, telling her to abandon Eon in the interest of prolonging her life. To prove a point, her parents returned home, assuming that Multis would follow them, but this was not what came to pass. Instead, Multis placed her art above all, accepting her fate and vowing to teach Eon how to create before that point.

Multis was homeless but was eventually taken in by Emily Baker, who used the opportunity to coerce information out of her.

Eventually, during the End of Vancouver, Multis pleaded with Eon not to flee from the fight between Emily and Susan. Multis's condition caught up with her and she died in Eon's arms at the same place they first became friends. In her final moments, she revealed that she had concluded that Eon was abale to create all along but was being inhibited by the arbitrary perimeters of free will and determinism he set for himself. She did her best to convince Eon to stop caring about the minutia of art so much, but in the end, her death pushed her best friend to do the opposite.

Multis' final moments were wrought with turmoil. She saw a vision of her mother, 7 months pregnant with a baby boy whom she referred to as her firstborn. Screaming in fear, she died insulting Eon, attempting to push him some final tough love before her composure broke down and she pleaded in vain to him, sobbing about her intense repressed fear of death, reverting back to an age-appropriate mentality in her final moments before dying mid-sentence whilst trying to utter, "I don't want to die."

Later on, a copy of Multis was found in the dreamscape of the god of the world. This Multis was warped, mutated and distorted, covered in plugs, tutors, and sacs of flesh. The explanation for this is that the god of the world was simply an objective artist to her, so the insult to her his existence implied was enough to to distort her form. This Multis spent her final on-screen moments cursing the god of the world and everything he stood for, calling the entire story of One Neo Eon a talentless sham.

A final copy of Multis was resurrected for Eon inside a pocket dimension inside the mutated Multis which stood between Eon and the world of the god of the world. This Multis encouraged him and was able to finally deliver to him the lesson she wanted to impart all along without any misunderstanding.
