Welp, I took so much time in making Ozian Mamono adapted from the canon, that I didn't have the guts to make new ones. Anyway, times have changed~! This is yet another original Mamono developed by me in Oz. Hope you like her. Based on the manga character Hitomi Manaka of Hitomi-sensei no Hokenshitsu, here is the...
Monette
Family/Type: Gazer/Single-eyed Demihuman
Habitat: Desert regions, caverns and quiet holes underground of Oz
Disposition: Shy, clumsy, gentle, sometimes selfish
Diet: Minerals, but can also be omnivorous (feeds like any human can)
-----------------------------------------------
A one-eyed Demihuman race distantly related to Gazers and understood to exist in OZ as parallel to the Mamono Realms' Cyclops. Understood as beings created from living Auzium, they are known for their love of collecting jewelry - all things that sparkle, gleam or shine to their single eye. In fact, so much is their love for jewelry, they are willing to scour for it, even if it takes them up to the ends of OZ to find the rarest of them all.
The origins of the Monette race are unknown. Many speculate they are artificial life created at the dawn of Zion's creation, and are therefore one of the oldest Mamonos in the plane. As their entire anatomy embody Auzium, the same mineral fuses itself on to them as if they are magnets. No one knows why this continually persists, yet to them, this is rarely a bother. They feel a burst of energy rise in their own systems akin to drinking a heavy dose of caffeine.
Monettes are almost like Cyclopes, given their singular eye. The difference is, various gems stud the linings of their own body (the reasons to why this is so will be discussed later). But unlike the latter, they have two smaller eyes above the main one, its purpose is see wavelengths of energy in the environment, invisible to the normal individual. This impressive way of percieving her surroundings is, however, not always to their advantage. They are awkward in motion and sometimes get distracted by what they see, ending up in slips and falls more often than they can get to somewhere. Rarely are they seen causing trouble since they hate violence.
Despite their mono-eye, Monettes have no trouble with their vision since they are born from crystals (light filters into their eyes and reflects like a charm). The only trouble they'd have is seeing in the dark - in the absence of light, they're as blind as a bat, and things can get a bit clumsy as a result. Without this disability, Monettes are easily said to be the keenest of sight in all of Oz. But same with the Cyclops, they have an inferiority towards having one eye and so they cover their faces with a hazy veil.
Monettes travel from the reaches of their personal den (usually, in desert regions) to places in search for precious minerals and treasures, their own bodies beating in resonation as if they are being called to them. When journeying, they are easily mistaken for gypsies. Three or four of them are always seen moving as a party, equal-minded in their goals but never quarrelling who amongst them leads.
Once these Mamonos spot their quarry, their singular eyes gleam brightly in a vestige of a blaring siren, alerting their companions to join in their find.These treasures they find, they pile them up to decorate their homes, in a similar way Dragons would hoard gold (except they completely model their homes using their finds). They also use this in times of danger, eyes gleaming to call the attention of a nearby individual to protect them. And since they have this troublesome aura about them, others can't help but fend for them. Afterwards, they offer to pay something in return, mostly something from their collection of jewels, explaining it to be a token of their appreciation as well as remembrance of that fateful day. Those they give the treasure to fail to notice a charm placed in it, and as they keep the item in their possession, they can't help but remember the Monette wherever she may roam.
As to the mystery why there are gems lining their body, it is that they fuse the jewels they collect to themselves, in order to use as energy reserves. Every once in a while, they stud a new gem in place of the old to gather mineral essence from them. This is a common question to Ozians, as they are capable of eating like normal beings. Experts can only dismiss it as a natural requirement for survival.
Monettes don't employ seduction to beckon men. They don't emit lustful DE to incite a man's carnal desires. When it comes to that notion, it mostly is due to their own eye, gleaming in the same intensity and beauty of a gemstone, that human men are drawn to them. Many adventurers end up traveling with these Mamono, and as they days lengthen, they see the Monette's natural self and fall in love with them. Upon confession, their eye blares in utter embarrassment, but they get over this complex and confess they too, feel the same.
Monettes glow slightly as they are taken into their partner's embrace. An abnormal amount of heat is generated from them, something they never realize they could do from the start. This is actually DE at work inside of them, and the minute a man plunges his penis into their vagina, he will feel the heat surge into his body, sending him into a gradual energy craze that makes him push deeper still until she herself breaks and is stained in semen.
Monettes are shy and awkward as housewives, but they pursue trying to make their husbands happy through the littlest things. As much as their husbands may appreciate the effort, he will be reminded of the night he experienced with her and will be driven to ask for her to submit in sex. A trait to be wary - they are selfish. Some Monettes would only wantto be their husband's gem, and if he attempts to cavort with another, their eye flash hot-red and they turn aggressive, demanding sex as recompense.
A Monette exists among the acclaimed 'Knightess' of The Round Table', a group of Mamono led by former King Harmon Magdalene. Some say she is their best warrior, but the facts are unclear as of how unbested she is in combat, as well as her present whereabouts.
NOTE: Wew! Took a while to write her, since she's become a personal fave. To be honest, I've already established her to be one of my 'waifus' out of affection for her character. And don't worry: that single eye of hers can be a real gem for you to look at. Well.. if you can see through her advances to have you for herself. Byee!
