Relationships

Role in the Story

End of the Golden Witch

The name Manon is mentioned for the only time in the story when Natsuhi Ushiromiya talks about the servants from the Fukuin House.

She, along with various characters, were questioned by Zepar and Furfur as witnesses to describe what Yasuda was like before becoming a witch. Appearing for the first time on the day before the family conference of 1980, Manon is the last among the Stakes of Purgatory vessels to show up chronologically. As a result, she likely has no idea who Yasu, the original persona of Yasuda, is. Manon is shown to be great friends with Jessica and Shannon and they gather in Jessica's room whenever Natsuhi is not around.

She last appeared in 1982 before the family conference of the year and was not present in the final Ushiromiya family conference. It is unknown if she had resigned by then or wasn't scheduled to work during that time.

Trivia

For example, I drew a servant character named Manon, but since there was a character named Shannon, I thought it would be too much. I even drew her face, but I had to cut Manon out to make room for Shannon."
