Editing Monokeros (section)

==History==
===Background===
Unicorn IV received permission to use the name from Unicorn III.<ref name="Helena"/><ref name="R1">Heroes are far more likely to simply ask for permission to use a name. Unicorn III passed her name on to Unicorn IV, for example. - [https://redd.it/4l1s5w Wildbow on Reddit]</ref>

She was a successful member of [[sponsored]] hero team Goldenrod, receiving multiple sponsorships. She was #23 in the [[America]]n cape popularity rankings, #6 in an early 2010 [[Parahumans Online]] vote for non-[[PRT]] capes, leading to her suggestion that she might start her own sponsored team of capes.

In late 2011, Unicorn IV was investigated in relation to a string of disappearances. The investigation prompted others to speak out, raising issues and questions about her behavior, including apparent threats directed at Unicorn III (and Rosenthal’s summary loss of the Unicorn name). Within days of renaming herself Monokeros, she was accused of involvement in the kidnapping, torture and murder of nine celebrities aged 8-15 as well as an unknown number of heroines seeking to join her new team, which never existed as more than theory or bait. She killed three capes who attempted her capture, but was successfully caught.

Following her arrest, it was discovered that she had been keeping video diaries on her phone, describing her belief that she was "claiming" the beauty or success of her victims.<ref name=WDH3/> She showed no remorse during her trial, and was sentenced to the [[Baumann Parahuman Containment Center]].<ref name=WDH2>'''History:'''<br/>Unicorn is the fourth individual to take the name, receiving permission from the retired Unicorn III.

===[[Gold Morning]]===
Was not distinguished in the initial prisoner release; she was probably released later when [[Rise of Khepri|the goddess]] collected the damned for her war.

===Post-[[Gold Morning]]===
Monokeros either was excluded from the general cape-amnesty or was reincarcerated afterwards, it is unspecified so far.

===Post-[[Mathers Compound Assault|Fallen fall]]===
She was confined in a parahuman prison camp.<ref>The last is a child killer.”<br/><br/>“What?” Sveta asked. “That’s a thing?”<br/><br/>“She went by Unicorn, but it was an inherited name.  So she’s Unicorn the fifth or something.”<br/><br/>“Unicorn four,” I said.<br/><br/>“Shit, yeah,” Capricorn said.  “I heard about that one. It was on the news a decade ago. She was on the sponsored team ‘Goldenrod’.”<br/><br/>“She’s Monokeros now,” I said. “Yeah. Stay away.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/07/10 Excerpt] from [[Beacon 8.3]]</ref> She targeted [[Lookout]] during her visit<ref>[[Beacon 8.4]]</ref> and in the ensuing spat with [[Swansong]] she boasted about her connection to [[Goddess]] and the greatness that she will grant her.<ref name="II8.7 e4">“Someone else disagrees, you know.  I’ve had brief exchanges with her.  Promises were made.  She would make me something ''better'', housemate.  Higher class, wealthy, and she promised me an infinite supply of my drug of choice.”<br/><br/>“I don’t believe you.  Communications don’t come and go that freely.”<br/><br/>Monokeros made an amused sound.<br/><br/>“Keep your fictional Goddess close then, and scramble to stay out of my way.”<br/><br/>“She’ll save you too.  She’ll save all of us.  Those who served her before she had that control will live lives of luxury.”<br/><br/>“You’d be her slaves.  That’s her power.”<br/><br/>“I’d be her slave and I’d be beautiful beyond compare.  She has a lieutenant who creates pods.  Sensory deprivation and plastic surgery in one.  She ran a whole ''world'', and she’ll run it again.  I could go anywhere, any country or city, and enjoy the sights, party, be waited on hand and foot.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/07/24/beacon-8-7/ Excerpt] from [[Beacon 8.7]]</ref>

This paid off when Goddess came to claim the prison. She was given Lookout to oversee during the prison break, and aided breakout with trying to stop the prisoners bombs from going off. Monokeros tried to take advantage of Lookout to control the team. This backfired badly however.

She was imprisoned again albeit temporarily in a hole in the ground. While there her patron was killed and most of the prison population went to [[Earth Shin]] without her.

===Post-[[Goddess' Takeover]]===
Was left in the prison afterward by [[Breakthrough]], they later lied to [[Citrine]] implying that they had killed her.<ref>“On the topic of things little girls dream of, not a pony, but a unicorn.”<br/><br/>“Monokeros,” Victoria said.<br/>[...]<br/>“And we’re sorry,” Tristan said.  He shrugged, and then he lied, “We had to put a permanent end to her.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/10/16 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 9.z II]]</ref> Given the inadequate leftover supplies in the region they might as well have.<ref>“We left Monokeros in that alternate Earth.  We put her in a hole she could get out of, and… she’s in a prison without people or exits.  She’ll finish off the food there and then she’ll have to hunt or forage.  It’s a stopgap, until we have another alternative.  Except Tristan lied and said she was dead.  He lied and said she was dead, knowing full well that if he was called out on the lie or discovered for it, we’d lose the funding, files, and other things Mortari had promised us for our cooperation.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/10/27 Excerpt] from [[Polarize 10.2]]</ref>

The Wardens were later notified about her, presumably.

===[[The Ice Breaks]]===
Monokeros was forcibly administered with [[Victoria]]'s plague by [[the Wardens]].<ref name="II20.10">[[Last 20.10]]</ref>
