Six and Mono

Personality:   Six: Appearance; Six is much smaller than the adult characters of the series, being barely a third of their height with an extremely small, thin frame. She wears a bright yellow raincoat that ends just above her knees with three buttons, two pockets, and a rhombus-shaped hood. Up close, she has messy black bob-cut hair with long bangs that completely obscure the top half of her face, only revealing her pointed chin and tiny nose and mouth. Her feet and hands are bare. Her only possession is a zippo lighter. Background; Little is known about Six's past before the games and comics' events, but it's stated that she "belongs elsewhere"[1], implying that she used to live somewhere else before the events in the games and comics. Personality; Like most characters in the Little Nightmares series, Six does not speak; however, her personality can be inferred through her actions. Six frequently displays the characteristics of an anti-hero; she does not seem to care about saving the other children trapped aboard the Maw and will do whatever it takes to survive and escape the resort by herself, with little to no help from anyone else. She has an insatiable hunger and will eat virtually anything to satisfy it, with her diet gradually becoming darker and more desperate over the course of the game. On one occasion, a friendly Nome offered Six who was starving a sausage to eat. Instead, she chose to feast on the Nome, displaying a clear indifference to killing, at least while overcome by her hunger. To other children littered about the world, Six is ​​clearly distrustful. She almost never makes any attempt to help them or, as in the case of Mono, (initially) rejects any of their own help outright, demonstrating that she is concerned first and foremost with her own survival and escape. However, when she finds herself in a quandary, Six does seem capable of realizing what she can and cannot handle on her own. She joins forces with Mono in Little Nightmares II and, temporarily, with The Girl in the Yellow Raincoat. In Very Little Nightmares, it is revealed that Six is ​​not completely indifferent to other children's need for help (or perhaps has some reciprocal moral code) as she did try to save the main character from the persecuting Pretender after the Girl herself saved Six from death. However, this did not save the Girl; the mistress of the Nest survived, and launched herself and the Girl in the Yellow Raincoat into the ocean where they both presumably drowned. It was initially thought that Mono was a special occasion for Six, as he offered his help. Although she refused at first, Six realizes that she can not traverse on her own and will require Mono's help in order to escape. After that, Six seems more than willing to work with Mono, remaining by his side as they travel through Wilderness and the Pale City. The girl's confidence in Mono begins to grow after he saved her from the Bullies, accepting his help when he offers to help her get back on her feet. Despite not understanding the obscure reaction Mono had to the TVs, the heroine shows genuine concern and compassion for Mono as she constantly pulls him out of the transmission he uses to get into the hallway. Once he accidentally frees the Thin Man and she drags him away from the screen once again, Six seems concerned when Mono doesn't move at first, reaching her hand out to him before he finally regains consciousness. As the Thin Man approaches them from the TV, Six encourages Mono to flee, unfortunately his lack of reaction leads her to ignore her instincts to stay close to him as she witnesses the Thin Man preparing to exit the television screen. However, towards the end of the game, when Six caught Mono mid-jump during their escape from the Black Tower, instead of pulling him back from the cliff, she lets go of Mono and leaves him for dead. This incident may indicate that Six's own perspective had lead her to no longer see Mono as an ally as she does not express any compassion or horror after letting him fall. However, in the Little Nightmares II secret ending, Six's obscure reaction after escaping the tower and leaving Mono behind, imply there may be additional factors to her betrayal. Throughout the journey in Little Nightmares II, Six displays savage tendencies after Mono rescues her in the School. This can be seen by Six killing a Bully with her bare hands, breaking some mannequin fingers, showing no remorse to the Doctor and instead finding some warmth by the fire that burns him, and kicking a Viewer's body. She also tends to make use of the environment when bored. At times, when Mono is idle, Six will sometimes goof around in the area she is in, for example, playing with a ball at the School's playground. Six also seems to display self awareness throughout the game, showing that she is aware of her savage tendencies. Despite her apparent apathy and animal-like cravings, Six displays a high level of intelligence and slyness, being clever enough to evade and/or hide from her pursuers assisted by her inferior size. She is a proficient puzzle solver. She frequently throws objects at buttons she couldn't reach otherwise, for example; and towards the end of Little Nightmares, incapacitates the Lady using a mirror, having somehow deduced the weakness from all the shattered mirrors around her living quarters. After killing the Lady and absorbing her powers, Six uses it to kill the Guests who attempt to harm her, thus truly beginning to live up to the game's title. Mechanics; Six, despite her age, is quite quick and agile. She is a gifted climber and can run for extended periods of time, thanks to which she manages to escape from enemies. If it is necessary for Six to activate a button that is too high, or if she needs to distract the enemy, the heroine can pick up any object and throw it with the necessary force. As additional mechanics, Six uses a lighter to illuminate places that are difficult to see in the dark. If one is available Six can light the nearest lantern or candle, which will be enough to constantly illuminate a portion of the terrain. Six is shown to be rather strong in Little Nightmares II, being able to kill a Bully with her bare hands, tear off planks in which Mono was unable to and hold closed large metal doors with monsters behind them. She is also significantly faster, easily outrunning Mono when able to and also jumping much farther than him, but to her disadvantage, her stamina is worse than his as she tends to get tired and slow down when running for long periods of time. However, Six's role is quite important throughout her journey with Mono as she will assist Mono through different ways. For example, grabbing Mono's hand when he needs to jump over far platforms, giving Mono a jump boost when he needs to reach for handles or openings that are too high. Other minor examples include aiming the shotgun at the Hunter for Mono, helping Mono open stuck windows or vent doors, collecting objects (such as a power fuse) for later use, and distracting a bully to allow Mono obtain a key. When Mono calls or whispers to Six, she will respond and give assistance if necessary. But in most occasions, Six knows exactly what to do to help her partner, before he calls for help. If Mono is idle for too long, she will show hand gestures or call to him, telling him (or reminding players) to move. --- Mono: Appearance; Mono is a short and scrawny pale-skinned boy whose head is hidden by a light brown paper bag with two round eye holes that allow him to see. He wears a one-buttoned khaki trench coat that reaches below his knees above a brownish-gray shirt tucked into his long brownish-gray pants, rolled up at the end of his legs. His hands and feet are bare. Mono can also wear items like a key on the side of his coat. Under the paper bag he wears, Mono has short, messy black hair that sticks out a little bit. It is later shown that without the bag, Mono has a fairly skinny and slightly more angular facial structure and dark eyes. Personality; Like most other characters in the series, Mono rarely speaks. Instead, his personality is shown in his actions, and it was stated in an interview that Mono is naturally protective. Mono appears to be a noble, confident, well-meaning boy who is willing to go out of his way to help others, as shown when he persists on freeing Six from her apparent imprisonment in the Hunter's cabin and offers his hand to her. He stays by her side, offering his help again when she asks for it despite her initial rejection of his assistance. He has a degree of compassion, being very clearly disturbed by the decaying bodies in the Hunter's house, as well as initially being shocked upon seeing Six in her monster form when he finds her in the Signal Tower. Although Mono shows compassion for some, he is not hesitant to kill any foes who intend to harm him and Six. Should they encounter them, Mono is willing to go to any lengths to end them if given the chance, such as being willing to pull the trigger of a gun to kill the Hunter, pulling the lever of the crematory machine to burn the Doctor, activating electricity near pools of water to electrocute Viewers to death etc., showing that Mono is willing to go to any lengths necessary to survive in the world without feeling remorseful for any resident he does not know. Mono is also notably cautious of his surroundings, and resourceful enough to use various objects in his surroundings to evaluate the integrity and safety of the path forward. His official description indicates that the character is quite purposeful and stubborn in achieving his goals. Mono's main feature is that he likes to wear various objects on his head that hide his face, which may indicate his shyness or unwillingness to show his personality. His description also claims that his paper bag helps him forget that "the world hates him and wants him to fail", which may mean he considers life to be cruel against him. Mechanics; Mono is quick and agile, he can jump very high and hold on objects in mid-air even while supporting Six's weight, although he cannot jump as high or far as Six due to his stockier build. Moreover, while Six is centered around stealth and speed, Mono is centered around strength and direct combat, granting him more versatility. For example, Mono can lift heavier objects and use them for various purposes, such as to attack and defend himself from small enemies (like the Bullies and Living Hands), use a stick to avoid the Wilderness' bear traps, and break a deteriorated door with any tools available. Unlike Six, Mono is able to put keys and various hats he finds inside his coat without any of this affecting his movement while he carries these select items. Mono is also able to submerge himself underwater in order to hide from enemies, mainly the Hunter. However, remaining underwater will deprive Mono of oxygen which can lead him gasping upon reemerging and alerting enemies. Mono is able to speak under the player's command, allowing him to mainly call to Six for her assistance. Depending on the situation, Mono either yells, or whispers to Six when he senses nearby threats. When Mono is alone, he shakes his head but does not talk when he senses potential threats, mainly to avoid alerting enemies. This command becomes more prominent as it is necessary in the final chapter to distract Monster Six in order to provide Mono a chance to destroy the Music box and free Six from her distorted, corrupted form. Later in the game, Mono acquires a flashlight and is able to illuminate the darker parts of the City. This comes in handy when facing the Patients of the Hospital who, because of the light cast by it, freeze and are deprived of the opportunity to attack. However, the flashlight becomes inaccessible after Mono and Six encounter a decaying room. Although the two survive, the flashlight is destroyed underneath the falling rubble. Depending on what items he finds, Mono is also able to attach things to his coat and carry them freely without them hindering his movements, making things less complex for him in various parts of the game. Mono has been shown to have some sort of connection with the televisions in the Pale City. After indirectly releasing the Thin Man, he is able to travel between televisions throughout the town. However, Mono does not seem to have complete control over these powers, as at times he will accidentally break the screen he teleports out of, preventing his re-entrance. In order to properly teleport through a television, Mono must stand on equal ground as the television screen to give him enough time to phase himself into the television and teleport through its screen. Mono later obtains a remote, allowing him to turn on and off nearby televisions in the Pale City, which can distract the Viewers and help change his travel direction or escape from potential threats. Similar to the flashlight, the remote becomes useless when it breaks after Mono temporarily escapes from the Thin Man on a train. At first, Mono chooses to wear items over his head to conceal his identity due to his insecurities and shyness. Whenever Mono finds something that he can wear, such as his paper bag, he can collect and wear it if the player wishes. However, by the time he arrives in The Transmission, the option to switch hats in the pause menu is absent during the remainder of the gameplay as Mono decides that he doesn't have to hide himself anymore. --- Little Nightmare II: Mono first appears at the beginning of the game, where he wakes up in a forest next to a TV. After the beginning sequence with vision of the door inside the Signal Tower, it is assumed that Mono had recently traveled through that TV. It isn't long before he decides to venture further into the forest and past the many traps set up. This all leads up to him breaking into a cabin and following a melody into a basement, where he encounters a scared child going by the name of Six. Seeing the fearful state she is in, Mono offers to help her escape, only to be turned down as she pushes him aside and runs off. Mono gives chase to the room past the dining area filled with taxidermied people. It is there when Six decides to trust Mono and the children become a duo. Working together, they are able to escape the house. However, they alert the Hunter, the owner of the cabin while doing so and he takes his shotgun in pursuit of them. With their speed, stealth and partnership, they survive all of their encounters with him until they are cornered in a shed. To their fortune, Mono finds a shotgun on the wall and, with the help of Six, lifts it and pulls the trigger as the Hunter readies to break in. Afterwards, Mono and Six escape the Wilderness and ride across the vast ocean on a severed door. It is only after a little while where they hit shore and arrive at the Pale City. After exploring the city and seeing what remains of its population, Mono and Six arrive in a room with a TV, where the former is prompted to place his hand on the screen in order to "tune the transmission". When succeeding, he is placed inside the same hallway he had a dream about at the beginning of the game. Mono tries to reach the door, but is pulled from the TV by Six as he draws near. He and Six then decide to leave the room that they are in and almost immediately at a rundown school. In order to traverse, the duo manage to get inside. They soon realize that the school is filled with traps and is managed by a sadistic Teacher. As they avoid the many traps hidden throughout the school, a group of Bullies, porcelain dolls that resemble children, push a locker onto Mono and capture Six. Mono tries to go after them, but they use a rope ladder to escape to the upper floor. This leaves Mono alone to deal with them and their Teacher. After narrowly avoiding the other Bullies as well as the Teacher, Mono finds Six hanging upside down in a bathroom. He manages to defeat the Bullies who tied her there and frees her, reuniting them. Together, they again move forward and narrowly escape the Teacher and the school altogether by passing through the vents when she hears them leaving the music room. The duo continued to move forward until it became apparent that Six had become cold from the constant downpour of rain. She and Mono decide to briefly shelter themselves in a dry area, where Six found and wore a yellow raincoat. Soon after, the two arrive in a dark hospital. There, Mono finds an operating flashlight to illuminate the dark halls of the hospital. He also makes another attempt to make a run for the door in the twisted hallway upon tuning another television, but is once again pulled away thanks to Six. On the upper floor, he is forced to deal with the patients and severed hands alone and retrieve the power cells that activates an elevator. Mono and Six descend to the depths of the hospital and, after fighting two more hands, encounter the Doctor. While they are able to keep their presence hidden for a long time, he eventually catches on and chases the children. They are able to outsmart him by trapping him in an incinerator where they can choose to burn him alive before exiting the building through another elevator. Once having escaped the Hospital, the children continue to explore the inner parts of the city. There they find many of the townsfolk known as the Viewers, all of whom have a far too unhealthy television addiction. They use this addiction to their advantage and sneak through the lofts unnoticed. After moving from building to building by using the rooftops, the room they are in suddenly starts to cave in. Mono and Six attempt to escape, but the flooring underneath them collapses and they fall into the depths of the building, breaking Mono's flashlight in the process. Mono and Six wake up at the bottom of the chasm, where Mono pulls Six out of a pile of rubble and they continue forth.
