Mono Kishima
Valentine "Mono" Kishima is a somewhat eccentric stylist who became a sort of media phenomenon as a prodigy.
In 2063, she was known anywhere in the world as the "best fashionista of the new '60s". "Mono" was a synonym of fashion, style and beautifully tailored clothes, with a striking attention to detail. Despite all the buzz around her name, nobody actually managed to get an interview or a picture of her. The mystery surrounding her persona increased her popularity, to the point of her creations being featured at several fairs in America and Europe.
It was when two journalists of the Irish newspaper "The Clover" discovered that she was a mutant catwoman, created by RealLifeAnime to star in a then-canceled show, that things went quickly downhill.
The realization that Mono was a non-human all the time made people boycott whatever she designed, causing an uproar from customers who felt cheated and ostracizing her from the fashion community.
Around this time, she came in contact with a former member of the Australian Outback Army, Wally Alba, who deserted and fled to Japan thanks to the help of some comrades.
Mono was well trained into both sumo and ninjutsu - due to the show she was supposed to perform into - leading the two of them to form an unlikely team specialized in bounty hunting.
Despite their huge differences, Mono and Wally have a strong mutual respect for each other. They have both lost something and plan to use the money obtained from bounties and other borderline illegal activities to replace or recover what they feel it's due to them.
Mono is usually collected and calm, but the pain she suffered for being discriminated against as a non-human left a deep scar in her cheerful attitude.
Her dream is to be able to be again part of the upper echelons of international fashion and proudly do that as a mutant.
