Biography: MantisWoman.EXE is one of 7 NetNavis (9 counting TidalWhale.EXE & Neptune.EXE who're made some time ago) created & operated by Juni's lovely mermaid wife Palutena. Like her fellow virtuous sisters, MantisWoman.EXE was born from a fragment of a program that was meant to test NetNavis' faith in the 7 virtues and see how well they would practice them. MantisWoman.EXE is the 4th of these 7 navis and was created from the fragment of Temperance; which seems silly as NetNavis do not need to eat anyway. Regardless, this does not stop her from representing the virtue that opposes Gluttony, and her lessons concerning it would benefit a navi's NetOp. When introduced to her classmates, many thought MantisWoman.EXE was modeled after an actual praying mantis. However, this proved to be false as MantisWoman.EXE was shown to be a human-looking netnavi. It's at that point Palutena's husband Juni revealed her naming comes from the fact that she is programmed to be a master of the Praying Mantis style of Martial Arts. MantisWoman.EXE proved this fact when she singlehandedly defeated an eager GutsMan.EXE without so much as batting an eye. Her battle style left a great impression and encouraged everyone present to continue honing their netbattling skills. During NetBattles involving competitions, MantisWoman.EXE was often one of Palutena's picks; but she sees action outside of competition and when time for battle arises, she's always ready to throw her hat into the ring. Representing the virtue of temperance, MantisWoman.EXE is a very calm & collected individual, honing her martial arts skills without fail. Restraint is her middle name as she is not one to just throw herself into a fight when one breaks out. While she can be a kind & caring teacher as well, she has been known to be strict on occasion. She does enjoy a good sparring session, but being one who embodies temperance, it's no surprise she is often horrified by those who lose themselves to gluttony on occasion. The least likely to be jumpscared.

Abilities: Living up to her name, MantisWoman.EXE is an undefeated champion of the Praying Mantis style of martial arts, knowing many of its forms. As a result, it's only fitting that she's programmed to be of the Wood Element, giving her an advantage over electric enemies, but is weak to fire as a result. Unlike the other Virtuous 7, MantisWoman.EXE does not fight with a buster, or any other weapon. She lets her hands & feet do the fighting for her instead. This does not however, mean she foregoes using Battle Chips and would welcome their assistance if it means evening the playing field. MantisWoman.EXE is able to use chi blasts in addition, thereby giving her some sort of ranged back up. She is even able to manipulate her chi when the need arises (And there's often a need to do so). When it comes to power, MantisWoman.EXE is in the middle, being the 4th strongest & fastest, making her a well balanced NetNavi. Her abilities are as follows.

Super Armor: MantisWoman.EXE cannot flinch.

Status Guard: MantisWoman.EXE is immune to status ailments with the exception of Counter induced paralysis.

Parry Counter: MantisWoman.EXE's liberation ability. At any point MantisWoman.EXE is targeted by a guardian to be attacked during the darkloid phase, she will quickly avoid the attack and instead strike the enemy for the amount of damage they would've done to her. This ability is passive & does not need order points to activate.

Mantis Strike: MantisWoman.EXE's basic attack. She simply lashes out with a basic jabbing strike. It can be chained into a 3-hit combo.

Hundred Handed Strike: MantisWoman.EXE's charge attack. She throws a rapid-paced double mantis strike which covers the whole column in front of her. Despite the name, it really hits only 12 times. Wood-Element.

Mantis Knee & Elbow: Taking a defensive stance, MantisWoman.EXE waits for an attack. Should she be struck up close, she will deliver a powerful knee strike before elbowing her target back a space while inflicting heavy damage. This always results in a counter hit. Won't trigger if struck from 2 or more panels away. Wood Element.

Chi Blast: MantisWoman.EXE fires a blast of chi down her current row. It can be charged for a stronger blast. No Element.

Mantis Scythe: MantisWoman.EXE bathes her arms in chi before slashing at the column in front of her, striking twice. Wood Element. Sword Attribute.

Mantis Boomerang: MantisWoman.EXE again bathes her arms in chi, but she will then throw her scythes in boomerang fashion with one going up, and one going downward. Sometimes she'll even throw one down the center row instead if she's standing there. Wood Element.

Tempering Piledrive: MantisWoman.EXE again takes a defensive stance. If struck within melee range, the opponent is grabbed and is then given a painful piledrive. No Element.

Wooden Lifesword: MantisWoman.EXE forms an energy blade and slashes 2 panels deep & 3 panels wide with the power of wood. This is only half the strength of the normal Program Advance.

Double Lifesword: Same as Wooden Lifesword, but this attack strikes twice in a row. This version is also of the wood element.

Dance of Temperance: MantisWoman.EXE's most powerful attack. After empowering herself, she will proceed to lash out at the closest enemy with several pinpoint Mantis strikes before finishing the attack with a Lifesword attack. Wood Element. Sword Attribute.
