About

Lunoire Faust, known as the “Black Fist,” is a former bounty hunter turned waitress at the Hostess of Fertility. Though she left her brutal past behind, she remains a formidable force in both strength and personality. 

With her straightforward nature and passion for a good fight, Lunoire’s resilience and loyalty make her an irreplaceable member of the Hostess crew.

Despite her rough beginnings, she continues to seek a simpler, more peaceful existence among her friends.

Personality & Appearance

With brown hair, brown eyes, and a sturdy build, Lunoire has a grounded presence that matches her personality. While she wears the Hostess of Fertility uniform as a waitress, in her days as a bounty hunter, she wore minimal armor: a short top, scarf, and gloves—practical for her intense hand-to-hand combat style. Her look is plain but intimidating, and her strength alone often keeps trouble at bay.

Lunoire is straightforward and unapologetic, preferring honesty over subtlety. She’s fiercely protective of her friends and values loyalty above all else. Despite her past as a hardened bounty hunter, Lunoire is ultimately driven by compassion; she initially distanced herself from the Demeter Familia out of fear her violent background would cause them harm. In combat, her love for challenging fights borders on reckless, and she often jokes about her brawn-over-brains approach, taking Chloe’s teasing in stride. Despite her intimidating strength, she dreams of a quiet life someday, with a humble home and a partner who would let her simply relax.
