Ninjago Inktober 2025 Day 5: Technology!

For my schedule and sanity, I’ve decided to only do a handful of the prompts throughout Inktober - sorry!

Finals are over and I was bored, so I decided to draw my Ninjago OC Eli in the Monkie Kid style!

I’ve never drawn in the Monkie Kid style before, so I used a template made by the amazing @rinkunokoisuru ! They’re incredibly talented with drawing in the Monkie Kid style, so I highly recommend that you check out their work! The template I used is also on their page, along with other versions!

This turned out surprisingly better than I thought it would for my first attempt, so I might draw more characters in this style - I guess we’ll see!

(BTW, I will most likely draw Eli’s hair differently every time I draw her because I suck at keeping a consistent style with dreadlocks.)

Either way, we’re gonna have fun.”

I’ve been thinking about this little lady for a while now, so I figured it was about time that I introduced her!

Meet Eli, or Hack Rat! Her birth name is Elizabeth, but she thinks it makes her sound like a dead queen. She either goes by Eli (e-lie) or Hack Rat, thank you very much.

Facts:

- She’s a descendant of Sora and Arin, and the newest Elemental Master of Technology. On top of that, her father is a Whack Rat from the Prime Empire video game realm, which is where she got her giant ears. True to her mixed heritage, she’s a real tech head, preferring to keep her nose in some form of machinery then out in the real world. Whenever someone asks her why, her answer is always “Because the real world is f*cked up. Nobody wants to deal with that sh!t.”

Her father made sure she was fluent in curses and various swear words by the time she was 9.

- Her parents own and live above “Riyu’s Pies”, a generational pie shop located in the Crossroads. Growing up in a pie shop meant she was taught the family’s legendary pie recipes at a young age, and she’s expected to help her parents when business gets hectic, but she mostly uses the basement for her various projects. She can create devices with just a thought and a snap, but she likes to take various pieces of technology apart to get a further understanding of how it works.

She’s also down there because it’s only place where she can play her drums where her mother won’t twist her ear off for waking up the entire neighborhood.

- Despite being the Master of Technology, she rarely takes notes of what she creates. She always says that the only way to create something new is to forget the old, and that creating something that creates explosions isn’t that difficult. “You blow stuff up and then keep blowing stuff up until you get somewhere - it’s not that hard!”

- She’s especially a fan of devices that create flashy explosions, so she’s often commissioned to create fireworks for various festivals and fairs. She keeps slightly more dangerous versions of her fireworks on her to use as bombs if she’s ever in a pinch. Her go-to plan for any serious situation is “Plan Boom-Boom”. Shh - don’t tell her parents or PIXAL…

She can take any pre-made device and mentally rewire its circuits to turn it into a bomb. From there, she can mentally pull the trigger and set it off, but she likes to put on a show. She does this thing where she makes a gun shape with her thumb, pointer and middle finger and slowly counts down until only her thumb is left, like she’s about to press a button. “Tick… tick… BOOM.”

- Eli is often referred to as “the Fix-It Girl” by her customers and neighbors. She’s well known for being given a broken toy or piece of technology and fixing it up good as new and even better. But the title has another meaning. She has a strong sense of justice, and whenever she sees something going down that she views as wrong or “broken”, she will do everything in her power to “fix it”. If that means a blown up building, so be it.

- Unlike the others of her generation, her Elemental Power developed at a young age. It was a relatively easy power, in her opinion, as all she needed was a couple pieces of metal and/or technology and her imagination. And in her words, “I’ve always had a big imagination.” She thinks that her relative ease with her power gives off the impression that she’s had it easy with her training. It’s far from true, but she works hard to convince them otherwise.

- Her father and his kind have lived in Ninjago for several generations up to this point, but they’re still viewed as an “invasive species” by the city’s more conservative citizens. Eli has often faced the backlash from her mixed genetics, as well. She loves her father regardless and is not ashamed of showing off her rat genes; her ears are always on full display and she shaves sparingly (it wouldn’t change much anyway - it grows back the next day). She even designed a titanium “rat tail” belt that can unwrap and extend at her mental command.

Whack Rats are far from the only targeted “invasive species” in Ninjago, though. Eli often strikes up friendships with the children of these other “invasive species”, offering them whatever solace and support she can in the face of such adversity. She especially cares for her girlfriend, who’s a mixed child of the Serpentine tribes.

(I told my dorm mates I was designing a LGBTQ+ character and showed them the line art, and they went absolutely ballistic over her design. My girl already has fans 😂.)

- Her usual clothing ensemble consists of several pockets and a backpack, as she always keeps pieces of metal and technology on her to manipulate at a moment’s notice. Those pink sticks strapped to her thighs may look simple, but they’re actually the most sophisticated pieces of technology that she’s ever created. They’re practically indestructible and contain several settings for both long and close range combat, interchangeable only by her Elemental Power. These settings include:
