### First Appearance

"Can That Boy Foxtrot"

Margo Monet is a character in Team OPRA's story. She is the leader of Team MSAC and a student at Atlas Academy.

She first appears in "Can That Boy Foxtrot" fighting Team CRTN in the 40th Biannual Vytal Festival. When her team mates are individually eliminated she throws a tantrum over losing to a bunch of Haven Students before Birdie knocks her out with his weapon.

During the Battle of Beacon, she is shown fighting off grimm with her team to help students get to the evacuation zones. She is then evacuated with her team.

After the Fall of Beacon, she and her team return to Atlas.

## Appearance

### Physical

Margo stands at 6'2 and has a semi-muscular frame with fair white skin and light brown hair that has a semi-symmetrical fringe. Her hair is long and tied into a braided romantic tuck.

### Attire

Margo's original attire consists of a cream blouse with a knee length mint green skirt over the top that has lacing around the hem. Over that Margo layers an advanced looking silver and grey chest plate. On her hips, Margo wears two protective silver faulds with dark grey trimming. On her feet, Margo wears a pair of knee high brown boots with silver heels.

## Personality

Margo is shown to be a cold, straight-laced and serious woman. She is described to be snappy and hotheaded towards people including her own teammates, not afraid to shout at them when they aren't aligned with what she wants out of them. She is also shown to have a short temper and constantly falls into tantrum-like rants that make her distracted by what is going on.

Despite that, Margo is also shown to be a courageous and protective woman as evident in how she helps fight against the creatures of grimm during the Battle of Beacon.

## Background

AMargo was born in Atlas as the daughter of a highly regarded military advisor for the General before James Ironwood. During her childhood she and Tanner had what they both refer to as a 'child-like rivalry' that lasted well into their time at Globe Academy.

Margo did not make it far into the Globe Regional Tournament as stated by Tanner, being beaten out in the preliminary rounds.

After her time at Globe she is accepted into Atlas Academy and is chosen as the leader of Team MSAC with Shoshana Almasi as her partner.

## Abilities and Powers

Margo is described as the heavy-hitting tank of her team. Despite her slow movement speed she hits with heavy swings and has an almost impenetrable defence with her great shield. Margo is also shown to be incredibly strong, as evident in how she can carry both of her large weapons as if they weigh nothing.

### Weaknesses

Alongside her slow style of fighting causing her to be susceptible to fast opponents, Margo is also shown to let her temper take over how she fights which can often cause her to become distracted and open to attacks, as evident in how her tantrum lets Birdie knock her out.

### Weapon

Margo's weapons are called Lady Liberty. Separately, they are the Heavy Impact Battle Lance (HIBL) and the Impact Reducing Battle Shield (IRBS). Margo's lance stands at 6'0ft and is made from a grey and dark green metal with a grip made of a dark grey leather. On one side of the lance there is a small cross guard to protect Margo's dominant hand. While using it, Margo is able to perform strong thrusting attacks at her enemies that can penetrate through most defences.

Defensively, Margo uses her tower shield to block incoming attacks from herself and her allies. The shield is made from a grey metal with a dark grey rim. On the front of it are four silver bits split by a gold cross that lead into a four-dial dust dial. On the back side, Margo connects the shield to her arm through a silver gauntlet she slides her arm into.

### Semblance

Margo's semblance is called *Rivet Stab*. Margo's semblance allows her to increase her momentum into a certain action. She commonly uses her semblance to break through enemy defences in combat.
