Manako

**Manako** (マナコ) is a Monoeye and member of the M.O.N. who serves as the team's sniper, due to her keen vision.

## Appearance

As a Monoeye, she has one eye instead of two, she has short, shoulder-length bob-cut black hair and wears her standard M.O.N. uniform.

## Personality

She is somewhat shy, and somewhat depressed; worried she was placed out of range because her teammates didn't like her.

When she is with those who are close to her, Manako is usually withdrawn, shy and only speaks to others when they speak to her. She claims to not do well with crowds of people and is prone to hiding herself as well as bumping into few objects until someone escorts her.

Manako is also very self-conscious about her eye, to the point where she is convinced the world hates Monoeyes. That is until after her date with Kimihito, when she begins to act flustered and believing that there are people like him in the world who like Monoeyes.

She is also quite self conscious about her bust size. The knowledge that Centorea was too big to fit properly in a 103cm bra put her into a state of shock.

## Skills and Traits

### Physical Traits

* **Monoeye Physiology:**
	+ **Advanced Eyesight**: Because of her large eye, Manako possesses eyesight far superior to that of any known species. She is capable of viewing, in great detail, events happening 2 km away.[1] Unfortunately, with one eye comes poor depth perception compared to other species with two. This makes Manako rather clumsy when navigating three dimensional spaces in her immediate vicinity.[1][2]
		- **Sensitive Eye**: Due to the fact that her one eye is quite large, it dries out rather quickly. It also makes it easier for things to fly into it. Because of this, she uses a lot of eye medication. She also doesn't like the muzzle flash of her rifles.[2]
	+ **Agility**: It is hinted that she is very fast, as she managed to cover the 2 km distance from the rooftop to the store on foot in a matter of minutes, and stated it would've taken less time if her large gun hadn't slowed her down.[1]
	+ **Marksmanship**: Likely because of her great eyesight, Manako is a superb sniper and a master marksman. Without a scope, she was capable of shooting the guns out of the hands of people 2 km away.[1] However, she herself admitted she has trouble aiming accurately when she has to use a silencer.[3]
	+ **Stamina**: Even after running 2km in a very short time while carrying a large and heavy gun, Manako wasn't even slightly tired when she arrived at her destination.[1]
* **Weapons Training**: As MON's sniper, Manako has knowledge of the use and operation of many firearms, especially rifles. She has access to prototype weapons, like her suitcase rifle, that even M.O.N.'s weapons expert, Zombina, does not have access to.[4]

## Zoological Classification

**Monoeyes** (, *Monoai*, lit. "Single Eye species") are humanoid beings that possess the notable feature of only having one eye.

Monoeyes are able to see objects up to 2km away without assistance; however, they have poor depth perception, making it difficult for them to navigate 3-dimensional spaces, and their eyes require constant protection from harsh environments as their size makes them susceptible to dryness and allergies.

## TMNT X Pokemon

Manako appears in Season 3 when she and her teammates are fighting against the Kraang during the invasion.
