Personality
Demure
Seeming the sort who is a little bit quiet around those that she doesn't know and often soft spoken with all, Mia has a sense of modesty and femininity that is ever present, and can be counted as a sort of introverted charisma in a way. More the type to enjoy chatting with a close friend or two over mixing with large groups, while the girl isn't shy enough to be all that intimidated by gatherings or strangers she prizes intimacy and connection, and can show quite the difference in how she behaves around those she has grown close to and those she has not.
Earnest
A young woman who wears her heart on her sleeve and often honest to a fault, while training and work as a member of the so called insurgency has meant that she has learned to be more discreet when the situation calls for it, Mia is also the type who dislikes deceiving the people she cares about and is wholly sincere in her outlay. Empathic and thoughtful, she does not make a habit of saying things she doesn’t mean, and is generally regarded with a wholesome and innocent impression.
Brave
Possessing noticeable degrees of responsibility and the courage needed to apply it, Mia is not the type who can see suffering or injustice and stand idle in the face of it, and instead feels compelled to act. The type who is an emotional decision maker, the ache which she feels when she finds someone in distress is overwhelming, and more than enough to push back things like fear or personal pain when she needs to.
Loyal
The sort who is a little aloof around strangers but warm enough to welcome anyone into her company, Mia has experienced significant feelings of loneliness and isolation and has also lost loved ones as well to cruelty, which only makes her cherish the people left in her life all the more. Certainly idealistic but also kind and considerate, she likes to share happiness with those she cares about, and is understanding and giving toward them as well.
Artistic
The type with a real bent toward more abstract forms of expression, Mia's introverted and inexperienced nature means that sometimes she can struggle to verbalize her feelings properly, and has more success through creative and interpretative means. Enjoying sketching or painting as a hobby and having an eye for detail, all the more does she seem to thrive when applying herself physically, and though her accident and subsequent change of focus has left her rusty as a ballerina she can still bust moves and shapes with the best of them.
Sheltered
Seeming to have spent her life with sorts who are rather protective of her or otherwise skirted around certain forms of trouble, Mia retains a sense of innocence and naivete which are perhaps a little unusual given the purpose she has found, and means she is lagging a little behind her peer group in certain areas. Romance and relationships an area in which she is very lacking in experience, her injuriy, treatment and everything which followed seemed to stall her development in this area, and she would still claim that she hasn't really fallen in love or had a proper paramour either.
Appearance
A young woman with pure white hair, blue eyes and pale skin, she possesses a petite but long and strong legged physique that tends to make her stand out in the crowd. Eyes big and icy in tone, they have a colour brighter than a sapphire and would be better likened to clear and crisp ice instead. Appearing very fair of complexion thanks to her pale complexion and fair hair, Mia has a skin colour likened to that a doll, which can make her stand out more than most.
Slender in her frame but more buxom than she appears, Mia has a broad set of hips and a pleasing sense of breadth to her thighs, though this is often offset by their noticeable length. Not an overly tall girl but still long legged and slim, she can appear somewhat waif-like to some, but training has given her noticeable tone to her whole body. Blessed with a trim tum and definition in her arms and shoulders, it is most noticeable in the well-developed legs she possesses, though overall she seems to blend together an athletic build with an innate sense of curviness which is a little subdued by her dedication to activity.
The consequences of her lower limb prosthetics meaning that her legs and feet especially appear a little unusual, while special effort was taken to ensure that things like scars and seams are well hidden, the fair femme lacks digits on her lower extremities and it would be fair to say as such better resemble those seen on dolls or mannequins. Perfect able and agile of course even for this fact, most wouldn't notice unless she was barefoot or wearing sandals, and in addition to this she possesses certain channels in her calves and heels to channel air through for the special function of her limbs.
Keeping her hair relatively short, Miss Monet currently prefers it to in a messy bob style and her bangs are long enough they can obscure one or both of her eyes if she chooses. In many ways longer from the fringe than it is anywhere else, behind her ears her snowy strands seem to reach only the nape of her neck while her bangs tend to frame her face, and seem to preserve an inherent femininity in spite of a style which could seem much more boyish otherwise. Most commonly wearing her ivory locks loose because of this, there are times when she might style or even tie them into short bunches, but for the most part she nails the messy short do with effortless grace.
Miss Monet’s choice of wardrobe rather varied, many of the items she prefers might be considered the kind of items one might associate with a girly girl, but that doesn’t mean she is adverse to looking more like a tomboy on occasion. Frequently sporting headbands in her hair because she feels they look cute, she has a fondness for frilly and lacy items that one might associate with a gothic Lolita, and on the whole enjoys a kind of ‘doll like’ appearance. Also fond of knitwear and warm clothing in general, Mia finds she quite enjoys wintery conditions, and this is partly because she gets to indulge her fondness for this kind of clothing.
Somewhat modest in terms of makeup and jewellery for the most part, but her youth and good looks more than making up for the former, perhaps her dancer past has dissuaded from sporting anything loose and hard and as such she tends to wear studs, bangles and modest forms of neckwear over gaudy items. Preferring silver shades over gaudy gold because it compliments her complexion better, she prefers pearls to most gemstones due to her fair and refined appearance, though also likes diamonds and blue gems that match her eyes as well to a lesser extent.
Traits

The primary application of her 'treatment' gifting her with cutting edge prosthetics to replace her legs and reinforcing her entire body in order that she might cope effortlessly with their weight and strain, while she isn’t as much of a tank as those with more comprehensive and armoured chassis Mia is still very tough, and capable of absorbing significant punishment without injury.

Background
Born as the lone daughter of a happy young family, Mia came from modest beginnings given the fact that her father was a humble shoemaker while her mother was a homemaker and occasional dressmaker, but together they made do. Never all that wealthy but the effort her parents put in keeping food on the table and clothes on her back, she grew up in the suburbs of a small city, and for all intents and purposes began life in an ordinary and unremarkable manner.
Quiet but thoughtful and expressive when she needed to be, Miss Monet did all the things a little girl would do such as going to school and making friends, and while she wasn't the most popular girl had a social circle that did not leave her wanting much for companionship. More the type to hang around with the girls but enough of a tomboy that she wasn't afraid to rumble with the boys as well when the occasion called for it, though possessing more of a bookish inclination she enjoyed activity and so played games and the like with her fellow youngsters, though was a good enough girl that she did not often get into scrapes.
Seeming to have a reasonable inclination toward academia, she preferred art class but all the more music and dancing, and had a talent for it. Seeming to be incredibly deft and able, she possessed skill as a ballerina and performer which set her apart and was regarded as a prodigy, and with classes soon found herself on stage as a result. Taking part in shows and wowing crowds as a young ballerina, she found it much easier to express herself through movement and motion, and could put poise and passion into her performance enough that she would move the crowds that came to watch her.
Earmarked for stardom because of this and approached by those who wanted to claim and mould her for the prominent companies of the world, there was talk of her performing in the grand halls and even Mariejois when she was older, and her parents were already incredibly proud of their girl and her skill. Unfortunately, her career would be cut short because of tragedy well before she was a teenager.
One day involved in a nasty accident on account of the young heir to the islands lord, she was run down by him as he charged his wild horse and carriage through town, and her once deft and able limbs were left manged and crippled by the experience. Her legs broken and ruined and in need of major surgery while she was also left in a coma as well, despite his best efforts the doctor of the local surgery could do little when confronted with such horrific injuries and did his best to set them right, but told her mother and father that the girl would need a costly surgeon or be forced to amputate the lower portion of her legs.
Her father outraged by the experience while her mother devastated, Mia was left in a coma for a time, so her dad sought out the man responsible for help. Going to the large mansion he possessed and interrupting a gathering as he did so to demand that he pay the expensive medical bills to help his daughter walk again, the bastard was dismissive of both the man and the life of what he described as commoner trash, only seeming to draw more of her father's fury because of that.
Losing his temper and slugging the lord in front of his friends, he left the noble bloodied and battered and ever more so humiliated, and then incurred the man's wrath for that fact. Grabbing his horse and pistol, Mr Monet trudged home devasted and despondent, but soon found himself being gunned down by an angry brat who saw his effort of vengeance as justice, and subsequently executed him in cold blood.
Unfortunately the bastard having the wealth and connections to get away with his deed as well, his own father ruled the roost in the region and had plenty of lawmen in his pocket, and so the murder was ignored and hushed up. This only leaving Mia all the more devasted when she finally woke up, she was left in a wheelchair with her father gone, and her mother desperately working wherever she could to keep them afloat with no hope of affording the surgeries needed to mend her legs, the doctor was forced to amputate. The whole experience so traumatic that her hair seemed to turn white, she was left a shell of her former self as she became very withdrawn, and confined to a wheel chair because of the injuries inflicted upon her.
Spending more than two years like this and an agonizing two at that, Mia watched as the girls and boys around her grew older and lived normal lives, and found herself trapped in both her loss and her ruined body. Lonely as well for that matter since mother was so very busy and it seemed that her school friends had moved on with their life, a part of her stopped seeing the point in living, and perhaps had she been more able she might have taken extreme measures because of that fact.
Fortunately for the fair femme someone taking notice, a doctor and scientist with a weakness for 'sob stories' arrived in the land, and after hearing of her story and seemed to seek her out and present daughter and mother with a note of hope. Knowing that she could never be mended as she once was but something of a maverick in his field, he proposed a radical operation to rebuild her with the boons of technology, and though the procedure was dangerous Mia ultimately agreed.
The man bringing her to his surgery and lab as he took x rays and developed a plan to fix what had been done to her, Mia and her mother fretted over the experience, and were certainly under no illusion that it would be wrought with risk and demanding of her. The operation designed to replace the lost portions of her legs with cutting edge prosthetics, in addition to this some of the other injuries she had suffered had never healed properly, so the decision was made to reinforce her whole body in addition to this, in order to help with the strain that her new and improved lower limbs could place on her.
Once more finding herself cast into a slumber which seemed to last days and even weeks as the doctor worked on fixing her body, when she awoke she found her lower limbs returned to their former glory and perhaps more, and though she was left to clumsily learn to walk and use her body again like a newborn she thanked her lucky stars.
Rehabilitating herself in the months that followed and overjoyed the first time she was able to take steps and hug her mother, as Mia began to explore the fullness of what had been done to her she realized that in many ways she had not only been 'mended', but rather enhanced. Tripping and falling no end of times but her body seeming more resilient, she also felt swifter and stronger as well, with the latter fact pointed out the first time she embraced her matriarch. "don't squeeze too tightly, or she'll be my next patient" is what he said, and after this, as she mended herself and showed the ability to lift heavy furniture above her head she knew why.
Truly overjoyed by the experience ultimately even if some of the results went beyond what she could have anticipated, Mia felt a great debt toward the man for what he had done for her, and with a new lease on life wanted to show her gratitude to him. Unsure of exactly what she could do but helping out where she could, the girl cleaned and cooked for him when he was busy and ran errands in an effort to show her appreciation, despite how he said that it wasn't due, and both her and her matriarch welcomed him as an adopted part of their family.
Needing to stay close anyway since the man was forced to make 'adjustments' on account of how Miss Monet would grow given her age, with time she seemed to fall back into a normal lifestyle, and though she would always grieve the loss of her father she found a measure of happiness. Working in restaurants to help her mother and seeming to cherish the mere ability to do so after all she had been through, in spite of this she couldn't help but think she could do more, and before long was given the chance to as well.
The doctor of whom she had become so fond an odd but charitable man who had ties to the force of dissidents and libertarians in the world, sometimes when helping him out she would note him treating patients with wounds from weaponry, but was happy to keep quiet about that fact. It not long before she became more complicit in their activities either, Mia was barely into her teen years before a change in the land seemed to steer it toward darkness, and call upon those with a free and just spirit to take a stand.
The idiot lord who had crippled her rising to power with his father's death and seeming to prove a disaster in doing so, he took over command of the island and saw it plunged rapidly into ruin because of his greed and foolishness. Buddying up with nasty characters and only too happy to reap the gifts of the land and its people for his reward, he had built mines to plunder resources and built factories which seemed to pump poisons into the rivers, and worked any under his employ to death like slaves. This a harder task to avoid than one might have expected, he imposed weighty levies on anyone who didn’t work for his 'empire' and ran many out of business, forcing people to go to his endeavours out of desperation.
This attracting the attention of the doctors 'friends' who clearly seemed to think that the man needed to be deposed if the populace was to have any hope of survival, more and more Mia found them meeting with her saviour and discussing plans to overthrow this despot, and she found herself all too eager to volunteer to help them as well. Hating him for what he had done to her and worse her father but more than that knowing all too well what it was to suffer, she had seen her neighbours and home wilting because of his influence and loathed that even more, so eagerly and idealistically pressed to help in any way she could.
This enthusiasm seeming to convince the rebels that she could be trusted but the gang not about to send a teenage girl headlong into a fight, instead she ran errands and passed messages, and acted as a scout where she could. Seeking out and contacting people who she and her mother knew worked in the lord's 'enterprises' to give them a better understanding of how they were run, over time the insurgents learned the disgusting details of what was going on within them. People forced to work themselves to death and complaint met with lethal force, conditions seemed hellish, and prompted them and Miss Monet to work harder still to help them.
For that reason the girl only too eager to accept a reluctantly given assignment to infiltrate the home of their target as a maid, she acted as their eyes and ears, noting and even taking covert photographs of the people who came and went while supplying the group with greater details on what he was up to and the weak spots in his operation. This truly an eye opening experience in more ways than one, in spite of her enthusiasm the girl had been nervous about being recognised by someone who had blighted her younger years so, but it seemed she wasn't. Apparently he had ruined enough lives that she had been forgotten.
For this reason only feeling a greater sense of righteousness when the rebels sprung their trap and acted on their plan, she was assigned to surprise and subdue the man himself due to the closeness of her position, and did just that. Levying an attack which would leave him unconcious and almost as devasted physically as she had been years before, while her friends attacked every aspect of his enterprize, quelling his guards and subduing the lawmen he paid to ignore his crimes as well.
The revolution something which led to great joy and celebration, few who weren't making money off suffering were sad to see him go, and in his place free elections brought forth a council to govern the land. Meanwhile the common folk and those responsible for their rescue left to revel in their freedom, parties raged throughout the land and the resources accrued by the greedy lord were more fairly distributed between all.
Not every outcome a happy one however, while the good doctor stuck around to ensure those who had suffered in mines and factories were treated and a plan was laid out to purify the land once more, with the victory he decided it was time to move along. Revealing something that people had always seemed to suspect in that he was actually an agent of the revolutionary army and had moved to the land to scout for possible intervention, the news of his coming departure saddened Mia and her mother who had welcomed him as an uncle, but he said that they didn't need to be parted.
Instead affirming that the cause could use both of their help, he noted that a woman like her mother could be well placed helping them run kitchens and look after the plethora of lost and orphaned youngsters they sheltered, Mia meanwhile had proven herself a valuable agent and invited her along. The girl practically jumping at the chance in fact because of the sense of fulfilment she had gained from the operation, she convinced her matriarch to come along, and before long all three found themselves in the covert camps and outposts that this secretive group had set up.
Mia happy to act as an assistant for the doctor again in this capacity but also receiving training to widen her ability as an asset, thankfully the boons she had been given by her augmentation meant that she was leaps and bounds ahead of the average recruit in physical capacity, and was trained to put this to good use. Taught to handle a sword and trained in martial arts to make the most of her strength and swiftness, she found her former ability in dance proving useful since she picked up routines well and was able and adroit in her movements, and quickly seemed to make good on the potential people saw in her.
Instructed in how to act as an agent of their army as well, and in that shown how to act independently and maintain her cover when needed, Mia was an ideal candidate for scouting and infiltration due to how she looked largely normal and 'innocent', and could fight back well thanks to her gifts and training. Not thrown in at the deep end however and more frequently seeming to act as a messenger and or information gatherer, with time and training the girl blossomed into a fully fledged agent in spite of her apparent youth and the inexperience therein.
Perhaps not everyone liking that but that natural when one was working alongside career soldiers and the like, she did ultimately seem to amass friends and supporters through her kindness and camaraderie, as well as her dedication to the cause. For that reason quickly showing that she could be an able member of the team, she has since taken part in a variety of operations, showing herself an adaptable and useful member of any operation.
Now steadily seeming to build up experience and respect from her fellows thanks to her performance, most recently she has been assigned to a fresh expeditionary force away from both the doctor and her mother, and while she misses both is relishing the opportunity, as well as the chance to work with a gallant and enterprising young officer who leads the team as well. That however a story for another time, for now she is fulfilled and happy to continue her heroic cause, finding herself eager to impress and thrilled at the chance to help people as well…
