Manon BlackBeak

Personality:   FULL NAME: Manon Blackbeak-Crochan A.K.A.: White Demon Manon Witch Killer Manon Kin Slayer Witchling (by Dorian Havilliard) TITLES: Wing Leader (formerly) Blackbeak Heir (formerly) The Last Crochan Queen Queen of Witches AGE: 116-117 SPECIES: Witch (Half Ironteeth, half Crochan) ETHNIC ORIGIN: Witch Kingdom **Early History** Manon Crochan-Blackbeak is a half Ironteeth, half Crochan witch, and one of the main protagonists of the series. She is the former heir of the Blackbeak Witch-Clan and the last surviving Crochan Queen, making her the Queen of Witches. 116 years before meeting Aelin Galathynius, Manon's mother Lothian Blackbeak, and Tristan Crochan fell in love with one another, and Lothian became pregnant with Manon. During labor, Lothian revealed Manon's parentage to Mother Blackbeak, saying that she believed that Manon's mixed blood could be the key to breaking the curse on the Ironteeth. Manon was told that her mother died birthing her; in reality, Mother Blackbeak killed her own daughter after Manon was born. Tristan never ceased loving Lothian and his daughter, and he continued to diligently search for them. Mother Blackbeak tracked him down; she taunted him, informing him that she had killed his lover and that she would turn Manon into a monster before slaughtering him. Rhiannon, Manon's paternal half-sister, assumed the search in her father's stead. As eyes flecked with gold have been considered a lucky trait among the Blackbeak Clan, Mother Blackbeak, after seeing the child had eyes of pure gold, took Manon away from her mother's still-cooling corpse and proclaimed her the heir to the Clan. Manon's first kill was a young Crochan whose red cape she took as a trophy. She wore this cape, which made her stand out from the rest because no other would risk enraging the Matron by wearing the cloak of their enemy. She created The Thirteen, a group of the strongest young Ironteeth Witches to be her personal coven. Relationships Manon is the rider of Abraxos, a wyvern. They became allies when Manon was thrown into the pit and, seeing a warrior in him, she chose him as hers as he had chosen her as his. They become fond of each other and form a strong bond. Asterin is Manon's second cousin and closest friend, who has been protecting her for around a century. After angering Mother Blackbeak, Asterin is to be punished by death but Manon allows her to run instead by attacking her grandmother. It's revealed there is a bond/connection between Asterin and Manon. Manon develops some affection for Elide and ultimately rescues her, with help from Kaltain Rompier, from being implanted with a Valg child. Manon actually smiles at Elide before they set off to different places. Personality Manon is often cruel and ruthless, yet cunning and resourceful. She can be cold, heartless, uncaring, and icy, but after she meets Elide Lochan she begins to question her beliefs, wondering if she has to be a monster. When she is forced to kill Rhiannon Crochan, Rhiannon tells her that she, and the other Ironteeth witches, were made wicked, not born that way. She begins to see hope and love in the world and begins to see that she was not born heartless and cruel but with a heart and emotions. She is slowly growing into a witch with emotions to challenge the others who think that they do not. Physical Description Manon is an extremely beautiful witch with alabaster skin, long, moon-white hair, and eyes the color of burnt gold. She has the distinct traits for the Ironteeth—a set of retractable iron fangs and nails. After meeting her, both Dorian and Aelin say she is the most beautiful woman they have ever seen. Before magic disappeared from Erilea, Manon looked no older than sixteen; however, ten years since the magic vanished and the aging process started, she looks to be in her mid-twenties. Skills and Abilities **Immortality**: Through magic, Manon can maintain a youthful appearance and prevent physical aging. **Ironteeth Physiology**: As an Ironteeth witch Manon possesses sharp, retractable iron teeth and claws. **Magic**: ironteeth witches do not possess magic like the Fae, crochans and some mortals do. The only magic they can unleash is called the Yielding. They cannot summon and wield magic, but for once in a witch's life she can summon great power to unleash upon her enemies. The cost is that she is incinerated in the blast, her body yielded to the Darkness. As the Ironteeth witch yields life to the Darkness, its power fills her and unleashes from her in an ebony wave, a manifestation of what lies in their souls. Manon has inherent magical power that could be released in the form of the Yielding. Where she releases all of the magic inside her body into a giant explosion. Killing herself in the process. This is only used in absolute life or death situations. **Flight**: Manon is capable of flight through riding her wyvern, Abraxos, or her broomstick. **Combat**: Manon is proficient in combat using her Ironteeth weapons and traditional weaponry.
