Description
Description:
She's always dressed in the peak of fashion, whether it's a costume for combat or a simple dress for a night on the town. She favors black or red clothing, usually tight to show off her body. She has obvious muscle tone, making her intimidating to some by mere physicality -- those who get to know her better tend to find her intimidating for entirely other reasons. She likes wearing heels and always has high end shoes.
History
History:
Monet St. Croix was born, the second of four children, to Cartier and Jamila St. Croix. Her brother Marius was the eldest, and heir to the family fortunes, while her twin siblings -- Louis and Lenore -- were two years younger than Monet. But, she was her father's favorite by far, spoiled with his love and attention, more so than the others.
The St. Croix children grew up in Monaco, the playground of the wealthy and privileged in Europe. Her father, Cartier St. Croix, was an Algerian oil magnate and had moved his family to Monaco to make sure they had the best of everything. And, Monet certainly did. All four children were brought up with the ideal Monégasque education; summers in Switzerland, winters in Bosnia. Their lives were nothing but wealth, privilege, and international travel. Education, fashion, luxury, leisure -- Monet had it all. Unfortunately, she always had to share it.
Monet and her siblings often suffered the rigors of rivalry, most notably between she and her older brother. All of them began to manifest mutant abilities upon reaching their teens. It all came apart when Marius manifested his mutant powers for the first time, becoming monstrous, a vampiric creature. In his mindless hunger for energy, he killed their mother. Cartier, in a rage, banished Marius from the household, only for the vampiric St. Croix son to return and attack Monet and the twins. He kidnapped Monet, and ruthlessly used her as a source of endless, regenerating health for several years. Meanwhile, the twins took over the role of 'Monet' for the benefit of the outside world while she was captive.
Eventually, Monet defeated him and managed to escape, but decided she could no longer stay with the rest, as the memories of his abuse were too strong. Now, she's come to America to find a new life, and some kind of peace of mind. She's living the life of one of the idle wealthy and perhaps considering using her powers for the greater good. Maybe. If she has time after the next fashion show.
History2:
Emplate, the elder St. Croix, had crawled his way back to his native dimension and taken Monet before returning to the dimension that had become a new home to him. There she served simply to feed his need for mutant marrow: tortured endlessly not only by the beings of the dimension, but her brother as well.
Escape, unfortunately, was not up to her: she lacked the necessary powers to travel between dimensions as her brother did. Thus, 3 years of torture: of being bled dry whenever her brother sought to feed. Salvation came only when a stranger (to her) pulled her from that dark place and deposited her with the people most likely to help: Xavier's.
Personality
Personality:
This outward pretension is not an act, but it does conceal a great and abiding personal torment. She was the victim of cruel and ongoing abuse from her brother for four years, as Marius kept her trapped in a mindless state and consumed her bone marrow for sustenance. Being freed from his influence was like waking from an endless nightmare. Monet still suffers traumatic stress disorder from the prolonged nightmare, and is frequently covering up depression or suicidal ideations.
Her best guard against people seeing that core of vulnerability is a quick and ascerbic wit. She keeps her metaphorical claws out at all times, and can turn on someone in a moment if they start to get too emotionally close to her vulnerable core. Few people discern a difference between Monet being an aristocratic brat and Monet guarding her vulnerability, which is a status quo Monet vastly prefers to maintain.
Abilities
Flight:
Monet is capable of superhuman flight, possibly as a form of telekinesis. Her top speed is around Mach 3 and she has sustained flight long enough to cross the Atlantic Ocean successfully.
Intellect:
Monet's mind has enhanced processing and storage capabilities, enabling her to think faster and remember more than others. She has an eidetic memory and can perform complex calculations at a moment's thought. She possesses a strong intuitive genius and a gift for puzzles and conundrums.
Invulnerability:
Monet's body is hyper-resilient, enabling her to resist large amounts of physical damage. She is bulletproof, capable of withstanding large impacts such as being hit by a car or hit by a superhuman brick. She could stand at the center of an explosion of several sticks of dynamite and walk away unscathed. She's fire-resistant and capable of withstanding extreme cold or electrical shock.
Merging:
Monet can merge and combine with other members of her bloodline, most specifically her siblings. The resulting entities combine their powers and sometimes even generate new ones. Merging can be done willingly or unwillingly, but will always result in a psychic battle for supremacy and control over their gestalt form.
Physiology:
Monet has enhanced reflexes, endurance, and senses. She's capable of sustaining great physical effort for hours at a time without tiring. She can react fast enough to snatch an arrow out of the air. She can identify others by smell, even track them, and her hearing can detect conversation from up to a mile away or listen closely enough to a heartbeat to detect a lie. She has immense dexterity and physical control, enabling her to be highly precise and coordinated.
Regeneration:
While she's extremely resistant to being physically hurt, Monet nevertheless heals from any injuries she might sustain at an accelerated rate. Cuts or minor wounds will heal in a matter of minutes, while more serious injuries might take only a few hours. She's also resistant to conventional disease and would be extremely difficult to harm by poison or toxin.
Strength:
Monet has great superhuman strength, enabling her to lift/press nearly 25 tons.
Telekinesis:
Monet has a growing talent for telekinesis, which she usually manifests in the form of telekinetic force waves or bolts. She can also lift and move objects with her mind, manipulating them to a degree, although she likes extremely fine control as of yet. Her telekinetic force attacks have a strength in around the twenty ton range at her maximum capability.
Telepathy:
Skills
Etiquette:
Monet grew up as part of the international elite. She has impeccable manners, knows how to be diplomatic, and can fit in at the most exclusive of high society functions. She can be rude and sarcastic, but she does so pointedly and knowingly, not out of ignorance.
Fashion:
Monet is always up on the latest trends, has an excellent eye for design, and is something of a clothes horse. She can often be found in the front row at New York Fashion Week and wearing custom pieces from a variety of designers.
Martial Arts:
Monet has been trained in self-defense and martial arts since her youth. Her father feared his children being kidnapped for ransom and wanted them to be able to defend themselves (never imagining he'd have a litter of superhumans). She's skilled in Krav Maga, jujitsu and kickboxing.

Weaknesses
Emplate:
Monet's long, complicated history with her brother Marius (Emplate) came to a head when he kidnapped her and trapped her in the Penance form, keeping her in the between dimension he lived in to feed upon. While she has escaped, she knows there is always the risk he will come after her again. He's done terrible things to her, but he's also family and that makes things difficult.
Hubris:
Monet's extremely full of herself. She can easily underestimate the capabilities of others and see herself as untouchable. As such, she may be taken off guard by others whom she sees as beneath her notice.
Sensitive:
Monet's enhanced senses mean she can be overwhelmed by powerful sounds or overwhelming scents. She can grow nauseated from extremely bad smells much more quickly than an ordinary person. High decibel or sonic attacks are extremely painful and effective against her.
Temper:
Monet can have quite a temper. Her self-possession and dignity, combined with a sheltered upbringing, mean that she can lash out and hold a grudge with the best of them. She doesn't necessarily think clearly when she's in such a rash state and is more prone to make mistakes.
The B Word:
Monet tends to judge harshly, quickly, and based on appearances. She often won't give people a chance and doesn't get to know them unless they interest her in some way. She can be caustic, cruel, and downright nasty and, given her quick wits, her barbs usually cut deep. She can be a bully. It impairs her ability to make friends and often endangers the friendships she already has.
