Characters from my graphic novel Luminahi. Kevin the mandrill on the left, and Mohana the mongoose at the right. Poppy flowers and calla lilies.

Mohana hasn't actually appeared in the graphic novel yet, she's only been mentioned in dialogs few times. I did draw a character sheet about her about 8 years ago but then deleted it because I didn't like the crappy old art quality of it anymore. After that, I wanted to wait until she actually appears in the comic. But it's still many pages away and the whole graphic novel project is in a coma by now. So here she is.

I won't spoiler the ending of my graphic novel, but I can spoiler some small parts of my big story.

Mohana is an assassin. Her true personality is cold, disciplined, efficient. However, she uses plenty of innocent, girly charme to get close to her targets. Being a gifted actress, she can easily do everything from bashful giggling to pitiful crying on command. You wouldn't believe she feels absolutely no regret nor hesitation murdering someone once you've fallen for that charme. And it doesn't even matter if her targets are men or women, old or young, rich or poor, guilty or innocent, it's all the same for this assassin. You give her money, she does her job. As a matter of fact, as soon as the timing is right on the job, Mohana gets in a serious murder rush and will even use her bare teeth on you if necessary. Nothing will snap her out of that killer-trance until her target is eliminated. Then she cleans up and disappears from the scene of crime.

Mohana has almost ninja-like stealth skills and hides many scars from the neck down, all from training with the bat spies growing up. Not that they invited her or anything, little Mohana just had a tick-like approach to all bat activities until the bat leader finally made her believe that he had accepted that bullheadedness of hers when he took her in. In reality, he wanted to punish her severely for that disrespecting trait. Mohana got special training, sometimes things that were supposed to kill her, with no friendly words for surviving them. This is also what formed her tough character. Even after being a high level business person now, the bats still never fully consider her to be one of them. But she is tolerated within their hideout, and has to follow the bat codes for as long as she lives. Otherwise, she'd receive her ultimate punishment. The bat spies know everything about everyone and their fears, even Mohana is powerless against them.

Nalokko secretly has a major crush on Mohana, but is forced keep his distance and not interfere with her assassin business unless he wants to lose his other ear too, because bat codes. Mohana's feelings for Nalokko, however, remain a mystery. She doesn't talk much, especially outside business. Nalokko already gets excited whenever she throws a neutral glance at him. Fanboi number 1. She's taller and older than him, it's super cute to see them together for comparison.

And last but not least, Mohana is one of Kevin's ex girlfriends. Senanca will hire her to assassinate Kevin since he is a threat for his mafia business. Unfortunately, Kevin knows that Mohana is an assassin for a living, and also what tricks she uses. So she has to come up with a clever plan to not be suspicious for suddenly showing up out of nowhere. She's not the type to come crawling back after a break-up. And Kevin is prepared for assassins and/or angry ex-girlfriends. A duel is bound to happen between the two.
