Bio: As if heralding the start of a drought, locust infestation, and economic recession all at once, Menna, from the second she was born, has been a sign of calamity to all those around her. Complications while giving birth are rather common, though in the modern day, it is rarer for them to lead to ****; yet, the first victim that Menna's misfortune would claim would be her very own mother. Even after this, the revelations of Menna's misfortune would continue, as Menna would come out with a disfigured left foot after it had not formed properly while developing in the womb. Menna would be raised by her father and her older siblings for a short period of time while her country went through hardship. By the age of one, Menna's entire immediate family would be dead, her father dying after being hit by a car that had swerved off the road, her sister being sexually assaulted and brutalized by a group of British tourists, and her elder brother dying after contracting a respiratory illness. Menna would be taken in by other family members to live with them, which would result in them passing after bizarre accidents. It got to the point where Menna was being passed from household to household until eventually certain family members would refuse to bring her in out of superstition. Thus, Menna would end up in the orphanage system, where things did not improve for her. She would go through several different orphanages after the ones she had previously been sent to closed down after losing financing. The caretakers that got close to her would either end up dead or suffering from a tragedy in their lives. Menna would not have many friends growing up; she only really had one when she was six, though it wouldn't last very long since her friend would die four months later after breaking her neck from falling down the stairs. Soon, people started to distance themselves from the girl. What started out as just the kids from the orphanage being scared of her spread to the schools, which would then spread to neighborhoods, which then found its way into town gossip, eventually spreading throughout the governorate that Menna lived in, reaching the ears of even the most influential people living there. Menna would grow up having a lonely childhood, having neither friends nor enemies, as people did not want to involve themselves with her, though that wouldn't stop minor accidents from occurring around Menna wherever she went. The only thing Menna had to accompany her was the guilt she felt from just existing.

Eventually, once Menna had reached her teen years, politicians would have had enough of her, blaming her for any problems that they had encountered. Considering her an obstacle that needed to be dealt with, they would call several hits on her, though none would be successful, with a majority of the hitmen/assassins dying while trying to eliminate Menna, all perishing from her bad luck without her knowledge of them even existing. Though there was one **** attempt that would make an impact on her life, that was when a boy her age who hailed from Hong Kong came to eliminate her. Despite being an assassin, the boy casually confronted Menna about the fact that he was here to kill her, which resulted in the obvious panic and fleeing from the girl. While trying to escape, Menna's misfortune would strike again, causing a large accident around her. Having already been in a depressed state, all desire to survive faded from Menna's body upon witnessing this. The girl dropping to her knees, believing that perhaps the world would be better off without her. But her life would not end there, for the assassin did not view Menna as a threat nor a wicked person; he only saw a sad girl who needed a helping hand. So, the assassin offered a hand to Menna, who would reluctantly take it. Menna would now find herself becoming a member of an **** organization, being its newest member. This bizarre group of people from all over the world would essentially become a second family to Menna.

Personality: Menna is a rather reserved person who likes to enjoy things from a distance. For the most part, due to years of prolonged loneliness and only having been the Tranquility of the Extinct for two years, Menna has yet to adapt to the idea of hanging out with others, even if they are her friends. The Egyptian girl will often be found drawing the faces of those around her, drawing their faces of joy while they have fun. She's oftentimes sad, even if she doesn't or is trying not to show it, though she doesn't let that get in the way of her functioning. Menna is an extremely cautious person, a tad bit on edge at times. She's often quick to blame herself for any accidents or tragedies that happen around her; while Menna isn't sure if her misfortune is a result of a curse or just a series of extremely bad coincidences, it still makes her feel guilty about the events that happen around her, even if they are beyond her control. One notable thing about Menna is her intelligence. Due to not liking the spotlight, Menna slacks off in her grade a bit to come off as a normal student, but in reality, she is a genius. Not only is she a masterful artist, carpenter, engineer, blacksmith, and her knowledge of physics and geometry is second to only one. She has an eidetic memory and can recall events from all the way since she was two years old. Menna is knowledgeable in a cross between bartitsu and tahtib, though she isn't the most physically impressive person out there, mostly letting الهلاك أو الجنة do most of the work for her. Menna is far from timid, but due to not being the most physically imposing and her nonaggressive approach to things, she can come off as a bit weak.

Personality (when clothed): Menna is easily flustered by the sight of someone naked. She has manners, so she'd rather avoid eye contact with whoever is naked. She would probably just outright blame herself for whatever misfortune had befallen the person for them to end up in that scenario in the first place.

Personality (when naked): As expected of someone who wears several layer of clothes, Menna is not a fan of public nudity is the slightest. She isn't that big of a fan of being naked privately either. Being seen naked by someone else would be a pretty mortifying experience for her, even if she's caught naked in front of her boyfriend.

Physical Characteristics: Standing at a hundred-seventy centimeters tall and weighing in at a very light forty-nine kilograms, Menna has a dark complexation and short black hair with long bangs in the front. Due to her depression, Menna used to be heavily underweight, and while her weight has improved over the past two years, she is still rather skinny. She also suffers from restless nights, causing her to have bags under her eyes. Menna was born with amber coloured eyes, a small mole behind her left ear, and a cleft chin; most distinctly, Menna has a disformed left foot. While it's typically covered by the black stockings and flats that she wears, Menna's foot is heavily disfigured, forcing her to walk with a cane. On her left foot, she lacks a big toe and an index toe; there is an off-shaped lump of skin where they would've formed. Her middle toe lacks its distal phalanx and is partially fused into her fourth toe. Menna dresses up in a way that makes barely any skin visible. She wears a plain black gallebaya that has a black and gold melaya luf wrapped around it. Over both of them was an opened djubbeh, which was black in colour like the rest of her clothing. Resting over her shoulders is a white, undone scarf, which reaches down to her calves from both sides. The scarf was patterned with black amenta. On top of her From below her gallebaya, there is a white shintijan covering her would be exposed ankles. On each of her ring fingers, Menna has silver rings with the god Apep embroidered into them. The Egytian god of chaos can also be found on the buttons throughout Menna's outfit. Menna wears make-up, having black lipstick, nailpolish, and eyeliner. Menna has henna tattoos on her body, one underneath the corner of her right eye with the text مصيبة, ones on her hands that have a floral pattern, and one tattooed over her left breast with the text 韩.

Constantly being carried around by the Egyptian woman is her walking cane. A cane with a shaft made of doum palm wood that was painted black and polished so thoroughly that it gives off a bit of a gleam. The cane's handle is shaped like that of a jackal's head, representing the god Inpu. Both the handle and the ferrule heel were silver in colour. Though, despite just coming off as a really fancy walking cane, Menna's cane is anything but normal. The handle, ferrule heel, and a tube that runs through the cane's shaft are composed of an outside layer of aluminum, with the inside layer being made of gold. Not only does this make the cane weigh a lot, making it weigh five kilograms, but it also amplifies the cane's special ability. الهلاك أو الجنة (Destruction or Paradise) vibrates at very low, harmless speed normally, but when the speed of the vibrations is controlled by the ring of each Menna's hand, the cane becomes a deadly weapon. At its fastest speeds, الهلاك أو الجنة can act as a high-power cutter, slicing through basically anything that Menna directs the cane's wrath toward. If she doesn't wish to slice through something, she can instead ignore a person or object's durability entirely and use ultrasonic vibrations to melt them from the inside. Menna can also make use of the vibrations as a shield, having them repel impacts thrown at it. The cane is essentially the ultimate sword and shield combined into one. Additionally, alongside being the strongest weapon, الهلاك أو الجنة can act as a tunning fork, sensing the vibrations in the air around Menna and preventing her from being snuck up on by detecting disturbance.

Relationship with Sam: Menna and Sam get along fine. Sam is attracted to Menna, but isn't going to intrude on her relationship because they are a good person...And also because they stand no fucking chance, have you seen Menna's fucking partner.

Additional Relationships:

Chengxuan Han: (Mutual romantic attraction) As boyfriend and girlfriend, these two are deeply in love with one another. While originally sent to kill Menna, the martial artist took pity on the Egyptian woman after seeing the despair in her eyes and instead offered a hand to her, wanting to help her find a way out of her sorrow. Ever since, Chengxuan and Menna have enjoyed one another's company to the fullest extent, understanding each other the best of anyone in their group. The two have been in a noncontact relationship for two years now, having only held hands and not even shared their first kiss yet.

Kallaicone Aruthan: (Mutual friendship) These two sometimes hang out when they just want a little peace and quiet. Menna always appreciates how good of a friend Kallaicone is to Han as well as how he helps those around him. Even if Menna considers herself to bring bad luck to those around her, Kallaicone is not worried, telling her that he himself is a bad luck charm as well.

Miyamoto Kanae: (A mostly neutral camaraderie) While most of her other team members are quick to dismiss Miyamoto as just insane, Menna feels pity for them, having taken note that their mental state is due to both how they view the world and the lack of proper psychiatric evaluation they received. Besides that, Menna can be off put by how Miyamoto acts, even if she understands the reason why they do.

Lillian Hayden: (Mutual dislike) Lillian doesn't get along with Menna. Lillian often targets Menna if the two are in the same room together, due to the Egyptian girl being more reserved than her other teammates. Lillian constantly tries to provoke a fight, pointing out how the Menna has no real ability or strength outside of weapons, making racist, Islamophobic, and ableist remarks, making fun of how her family dies, and dissing her relationship with Han. Menna just ignores Lillian to the best of her ability; she isn't worth the energy.

Zacharie Martin (Mutual like) He finds it a bit odd that an intelligent young lady like herself found herself part of a team of assassins like this, but it doesn't bother him too much. He is intrigued by her weapon of choice; he doesn't understand it too well but still finds it cool. Menna finds him to be a bit strange and isn't quite sure what to think about his living in the present mindset, but she still enjoys being around him. He's good company.

Eve: (Mutual like) Two artists appreciate one anothers ability and their interpretation of world around them. The two barely talk, its more of a silent understanding.
