" she was one of those people who was born for the greatness of a single love, for exaggerated hatred, for apocalyptic vengance, and for the most sublime forms of heroism but she was unable to shape her fate… " MANON BOLET | JENNIFER CHECK
“Right --” she drops her bag with a resounding thud, gaze immediately falling to the fresh manicure adorning her pointed-tip fingers; she pays little mind as the suitcase falls lamely upon its side, the contents within shifting, “-- where’s the bar?”
MANON BOLET is a TWENTY EIGHT YEAR OLD CIS FEMALE (SHE/HER). Don’t they look eerily like OLIVIA MUNN? They were once known as JENNIFER CHECK from JENNIFER’S BODY, but now they’re yet another Deacon Falls VILLAIN. I’d watch out if I were you, you don’t want to get on their bad side. In this town, you never know what might happen…
Hi everyone, Lara here again! On the other end of the spectrum from Clara, Manon here is a reincarnation of Jennifer Check - everyone loves polar opposites! The same deal applies below; I’d love to get some plots going with her, too!!
- god save the prom queen. She was always the popular girl - and that hasn’t changed. She left and came back; but it’s as if she never left town, for her energy is too omnipotent to forget. Even after getting caught with the prom queen and the quarterback in the locker rooms at her senior homecoming dance, she was a fixture in the underworld culture of the town. I would really like to keep her rooted in that, even though she left for a few years and came back (bigger and better and gayer than ever tbh). I’d love for her to be friends with people who’ve lived in town all their lives, as well as welcome newcomers in a way only a former demon knows how.
- drink up. Some say that she’s the girl who popped One-Eyed Pete’s eye out. Others say she killed the girl and took her place. Either way, Manon owns that bar as if it were her own; she’s a favorite bartender, unabashedly using her feminine wiles to get more tips than just about anyone else. She wants to open her own bar someday - or perhaps a burlesque club … or a strip club … or maybe just a brothel, if she gets desperate enough. But she’s a people person. And they eat her up. And she eats them up right back.
- sexual creature. Manon is a closeted lesbian. She gets all her best tips from men, and she’ll drag them on for as long as is necessary, but she will not be truly satisfied until she can come out.
- the good lord hates bitches. Manon never had the best relationship with religion, as a whole institution. Her parents were staunchly Baptist, and in retaliation she would plant Satanist pamphlets all around her house at random intervals - though she’s not sure if she believes that either. She often gets great satisfaction from smoking on the steps of the church, putting out the ashes just by the door - but never going in. The whole institution just feels wrong to her. And she’s learned to follow her gut. So, in short, don’t ask her to come to church. Or do. That’d be interesting.
- got a light? As would probably be characteristic of any reincarnated demon, Manon smokes like a chimney. She knows it’s a nasty habit, but she really can’t be bothered. She also indulges in illegal drugs every now and then, but she doesn’t exactly advertise it - she’s not about to share, after all.
- about. Honestly she’s just the hottest mess, and the biggest bitch, and I’m ready to unleash her on the unsuspecting innocent. Obviously she’s not a literal demon anymore, but metaphorically speaking the label still holds true. She’s judgmental, brash, and particular, but she’ll also be a fierce ally if you’re lucky enough to be on her side. She gets very attached to people she likes, and openly antagonizes people she doesn’t - so I’d love to have plots all along that spectrum!
- misc. Slytherin, ESTP, Scorpio, Choleric, Type 4 (The Individualist)
I love finding roles where the woman is smart, and being a love interest does not define who she is. And I think the only way to change a stereotype in media is to write roles where women are the tech experts and the doctors and the scientists.
FILM RECS FOR HALLOWEEN: 25. Jennifer’s Body (2009)
I don’t even know who Needy Lesnicky is anymore. I’m a different person now. A person who uses curse words and kicks orderlies and sees things that aren’t there. A very bad, very damaged person… But sometimes change can be good! For instance, most occult scholars don’t know this, but if you’re bitten by a demon, and you live, you just might absorb some of the demon’s abilities… You might get lucky for once in your miserable life!
