Mondai the assassin is Kalec's apprentice, and does a lot of the dirty behind the scenes work that Kalec can't do. Her parents were killed in front of her as a young child, which unlocked her powers. She has power to walk through shadows, and is a little crazy because she locked away her childhood and the trauma of watching her parents die has made her psycho. I'll elaborate more later. XD
  
  
Mondai is an assassin with jet-black hair and eyes that vary in shades of gray, depending on her mood. Lighter means happier, and black generally means pure hatred. Her background is very cloudy and traumatic - her parents were ripped apart in front of her when she was very young. Found by Kalec after her first outburst of dark energy which killed a number of the Transhumans that had attacked her family in the mine shafts, she had already stopped crying by the time he picked her up, only keeping herself from lashing out because of the kinship she sensed in him.
Seeking revenge, she began to study dark arts, and through those dark arts, she was able to lock away her childhood and summon forth a revenge-demon that thrived within her. It is in this way that she is different from other transhumans, in that she found her own Demon and made a pact with it for power, as opposed to being transfused with an existing one. Her look varies. When in a normal state, her look is that of a young adult woman. The happier she is, the more child-like she becomes, both in personality and in looks. The angrier or blood-lusted she becomes, the more demonic and adult-like her form becomes.
If you look closely at her, or rather, right past her, one can see the sad form of her childhood and past, locked away to soothe the pain but following her everywhere she goes. This shadow looks just like her, but in a ghostly and non-corporeal way. In her youth, she won't even realize its there, as the only people who can see it are her targets, and she always makes her kills. In her later years, she will come to understand and be able to use this shadow-form manifestation as a powerful weapon.
Mondai's weapons are two soul-grafted blades that can extend in distance up to 10 feet, and withdraw to become daggers for easy storage. The history behind these blades is that when she came of age, Mondai went back into the mines and conferred with the spirits of her departed parents. With their permission, she soul-grafted their souls into the blades that she wields, influsing them with life and many powers.
Her right blade carries the spirit of her mother, and her left carries the spirit of her father and both can steal souls from bodies that are killed by the blades. (Normally in Transhuman society, souls can be re-integrated back into bodies by very specific cloning and re-implantation procedures - only a select few assassins are allowed the used of soulstealers for this reason) Mondai's blades often have a ghostly-sort of fog that emanates from the skull imbedded in the hilt, which are the spirits of the slain chained to the daggers to do her bidding.
Her clothing is made up of a black velvetty substance that blends easily into the dark and cloudy regions of the night. She wears boots that are fashioned with a spiked heel, and even though they seem hard to walk on, she can tread very quickly and easily down even the roughest terrain, thanks to her mastery of the shadow skills. Additionally, she carries two deadly gothic looking guns, standard make and model for assassins in Kalec's army. They however do not fire rounds of real ammunition, but instead fire bolts of dark energy, which eat through matter and can explode on her will through her mastery of dark arts.
Mondai is marginally insane and schizophrenic, seeing the world through the eyes of a child, and everything seems to be her plaything. She often lives in the shadow world, peering through the cracks into the real world and laughs and dances at the antics and drama of the world, as if the world were a puppet show made for her. She hears voices as well, and the voices can be very compelling since she believes she hears the voices of her long-dead parents in her mind. She often quotes Shakespeare in a lilting sing-song.
Relationships to other characters
Mondai's relationship to Kalec would be one of a daughter to a father. He took her in when he found her alone amongst a host of dead soldiers in the abandoned mine where her parents were killed. Her powers are similar to his and he trained her in all the dark arts that he could impart on someone of her age, and more since her eagerness to learn is insatiable. To Alexi, she is like a naughty daughter thats always getting into dirty trouble and needs to be cleaned up, but Mondai loves Alexi nontheless as a sort of mother or nanny figure. To Lindin she is much like a baby sister, and he acts as her older brother in many ways. They fight each other sometimes over petty things, but in the end, Mondai would die for Lindin and vice-versa - she tends to look to him for support in dire need even though he isn't much older than she.
