Power Info
Monts shares her body with a demon that's referred to as the Shadow Flower since its default form is that of a dark flower that looks as if it was tattooed onto her back. While the demon has a mind of its own, it lacks a voice and instead shares a mental link with its host, sometimes even attempting to take over her mind. Monts, however, usually forces its voice down to avoid complete possession unless she loses complete consciousness and is in danger. These are the abilities that the Shadow Flower grants her:
☞ Weight: Technically not so much an ability as it is a side effect of sharing her body; Monts is twice as heavy as she looks (she looks 110-120 pounds but x2) due to the added weight of the demon on her back, but she uses this to her advantage when tackling someone.
☞ Sixth Sense: The demon can sense if an individual has demonic, magic or psychic auras and relays that sensory perception to Monts. This tends to not work if the person or object hides their aura well and she can't really distinguish them.
☞ Enhanced Speed & Strength: Monts is fast and agile enough to outrun a speeding car or dodge bullets making her particularly tricky to hit. Her strength is enough to cause small craters in walls or the ground if she puts her fist into those, but she can't say, lift a building like Superman. But when she hits, she hits hard and could break limbs with little effort.
☞ Healing & Pain Resistance: The Shadow Flower can repair Monts' wounds and injuries speedily depending on how big they are. Small to large injuries like scratches and cuts can take from seconds or minutes, huge gaping wounds and broken limbs can take hours or a few days. Monts has a notable resistance to pain and poisons usually won't affect her.
When utilizing the demon's powers, the dark mark on her back spreads across her body indicating a semi-possession although her mind is still her own. A full possession makes the demon mark encase her entire body until she doesn't even look like herself anymore and the demon has almost full control.
Even with all these perks, Monts is still very human and both her and the Shadow Flower can die just like any other living creature if one was dogged enough to put both down. She wouldn't be able to regrow an arm or a leg if they were cut off for instance and magic would be a major weakness of hers. When semi-possessed she's not a martial arts master; Monts doesn't have any formal fighting experience so she relies on brute strength and being dodgy so anyone who matches up to her in power could overtake her and the demon with technique and endurance. Speaking of which, after using the demon's powers, Monts gets terribly exhausted and has to sleep so her body can recuperate. Another side effect of sharing her body with the demon is that others with a sixth sense can tell there's something strange about her since she can exhibit an off putting aura; most animals keep their distance from her as a result since they have enhanced senses. She herself can get lots of headaches due to the Flower whispering in her head all the time, but she usually just suppresses the pain with normal aspirin.
The way the Shadow Flower works is that, it basically is like a parasitic organism that's attached to Monts' body under several layers of skin (like a tattoo as explained in the abilities section). It can contract and expand its size depending on how much it needs to possess her. It was Monts first time being fully possessed and it wasn't without consequences. The Flower itself doesn't try to take over Monts' body because they both know using the demonic power to its full potentitial is physically exhausting on her. The Shadow Flower needs her body to stay alive and it won't push her anymore than she can take it. Full possessions will not happen often because it won't benefit the both of them in the long run despite its strengths.
