Manon Has A Difficult Time With Compliments
Manon has problems with positive compliments and with being called “strong,” thanks to traumas in her childhood. When her mother left her, she told Manon that she would be okay without her, because Manon was “strong.” This proved traumatic, and ever since then, she’s associated compliments about her strength and abilities with her mother’s abandonment.
This starts to change during Street Fighter 6, however. Marisa compliments Manon on her fighting ability, and Manon feels liberated to interact with someone who takes such joy from being in competition and excelling at something, without any of the psychological baggage attached to it.
