Mana Gigashima

Mana is the wife of Jay and the mother of Nano and Stacy. She is a queen beent, a type of bee/ant humanoid insect. Stoic by nature, Mana follows her own code of honor. However, since beents do not interact with technology, she knows very little about it and actually finds it frightening, considering it to be witchcraft. The only technology she can somewhat manage is a phone, but she rarely touches it.

Personality

Due to Mana's stoic nature, she rarely expresses any real emotion towards others. She is very traditional, knowing little about technology beyond a phone. Although stoic, she cares deeply for her family, and her way of showing it often involves taking them out into the wild to fend for themselves alongside her. She is most talkative with close friends and family members, showing emotion primarily during those times.

Apperance

Mana is a beent with black hair and antennas sticking out of her head, and dark skin. She stands 16 feet tall. She wears a 'Japanese Laurel' collared long-sleeved shirt and navy blue jeans, along with black heels. On occasion, she opts for a brown tunic with no other clothing, as it makes her more agile.

RelationShips

Mana has the closest relationship with Jay. As they are married, they spend most of their time together at home but also go out together from time to time. She tends to have most of her conversations with Jay, either discussing how their day has been or requesting a duel. They show their affection in unique ways, such as engaging in their typical duels or simply curling up like a ball together like cats in bed.

Mana's relationship with her daughter Stacy is close. She often tags along with Stacy to collect mushrooms, using the time to reminisce and share stories about her past adventures. Mana also tries to take Stacy out into the wild to teach her about her traditions and survival skills, but these outings usually don’t last more than a couple of hours. Although they don't always see eye to eye, they find common ground in playing simple tabletop games that Stacy brings along, though Mana typically tends to lose.

Mana's relationship with her daughter Nano isn't the best. While Mana doesn't hate Nano, she dislikes her lazy attitude and lack of drive to be productive. Conversely, Nano doesn’t like her mom’s traditional way of thinking and often shows disrespect, giving back talk or blatantly ignoring Mana's requests. Although they got along more easily when Nano was younger, in recent years their relationship has become increasingly strained every days.

Mana has a close relationship with her mother. She frequently visits her mother and the colony to check in on things. Most interactions involve bringing a few snacks and having conversations with her mother.

Laura and Mana are fairly close. Although they don’t talk to each other frequently, they often hang out from time to time, usually going to a bar to drink. Compared to Mana, Laura is a more relaxed and less traditional version of her sister, enjoying her time more freely and relaxing. Laura is the second person Mana turns to when she wants to talk about things troubling her.

Ross is Mana's only friend. They spend most of their time at bars drinking, and occasionally watch movies at Ross's apartment. Their conversations typically revolve around their lives and any future plans they might have. Mana sometimes brings Ross to her house to hang out, but this is a rare occurrence due to the location of her home. Ross is the only person Mana talks to outside of her family.
