Sekmeti

Sekmeti is a female Mummy who is the head of the Letopolis family and also an avid Duel Monmusus player, as her species created this card game. She makes her debut in Chapter 82.

Appearance
Sekmeti is a buxom mummy who wears ancient Egyptian theme jewelleries that consist of a necklet, a pair of bracelets, a pair of armlets, and a girdle that hangs loosely around her hips. Like the rest of her subspecies, her clothes are made of bandages wrapped around her body which leaves her torso mostly bared as well as wrapping her large breasts tightly; she also wears a headdress that appears to be made up of bandages, shaped like cat ears with an eye in front along with a pair of high-heels.

Personality
As a Mummy and head of the Letopolis family, Sekmeti has a proud side and is also a bit archaic. Since Sekmeti also took part in designing the card game, she has a great fondness for Duel Monmusus, claiming that her species decides everything in a duel, regardless of whether they are important things like her fate or a contract to her card business or more normal matters like what she's having for dinner. Sekmeti has an almost obsessive and enthusiastic passion for Duel Monmusus, even though she doesn't know the modern rules and prefers old tactics like the classic style.

Because of her prideful side, Sekmeti can be resentful towards those who bump into her (even if accidentally), and in such cases she will insist that the matter be settled with a game of Duel Monmusus between her and the perpetrator. She can also appear very smug when she believes that she already has the victory in her bag, such as when she played against Kimihito in classic style which allowed her to summon as many powerful monsters as she wanted. On the other side, Sekmeti is also honourable as she sharply snapped at Kimihito when she thought that he was trying to lose to her on purpose, asking him if he was merely trying to torment Mr President (since Kimihito's victory against her decided Mr President's contract).

While Sekmeti appears sometimes hard and smug toward people she barely knows, she is actually very kind. After Kimihito won the duel against her in a surprising turn of events, she was speechless for a moment, but showed no resentment toward him and insisted on playing more duels against Kimihito, duelling so just for the fun of it. After eventually becoming friends with Kimihito and his homestay girls, Sekmeti began to show a much more relaxed and friendly side of herself.

Personal skills

 * Duel Monmusus player: As the card game company head of Duel Monmusus, Sekmeti is an experienced player, although she prefers to play in the "classic style" rather than the "modern style". This style allows Sekmeti to summon unlimited powerful monsters, making her a strong opponent. However, the focus on this type of deck also means that a player can immediately defeat Sekmeti and others like her by using a spell card like "Inferno Storm" (which requires both players to remove all monster cards from their decks) if their opponent only has monster cards in their deck.

Physical Traits

 * Mummy Physiology:
 * Undead: As a Mummy, Sekmeti is undead.
 * Dependence of arid environments: According to the Mummy's infocard, arid environments save their bodies from decay even without preservation measures, although this arid environment also robbed their skin of its moisture, requiring them to take long baths to replenish their fluids.

Zoological Classification


Mummies are a Zombie subspecies from dry desert areas. Their arid environment keeps them safe from decay and even without preservative measures, their bodies remain intact. However, their arid environment has also robbed their skin of its moisture, requiring them to take long baths to replenish their fluids. They also supplement this by sucking the life force out of young men to preserve their beauty, but this tragically functions only as a placebo.

Since many Mummies were ancient royalty or nobility in life, they often have difficult personalities.

Trivia

 * Sekmeti's name is probably a pun on Sekhmet, the ancient Egyptian goddess of war.
 * As Sekmeti claims in Chapter 82, she is more than 3000 years old, which, if this is true, would make her the oldest known character in Monster Musume.
 * Since Sekmeti is the head of the Letopolis family, her full name is probably Sekmeti Letopolis.
 * Her family name is probably a pun on Latopolis.
 * In Chapter 82, Sekmeti says that Miia and Centorea's words to Duel Monmusus would warm her heart. In fact, this is an accurate formulation because while it is true that the ancient Egyptians removed several organs during mummification, in most cases the heart was almost always left inside the body because they believed that the heart was the seat of all a person's physical and mental powers.
 * The bandages in the shape of cat ears worn by Sekmeti on her head are probably based on the fact that cats were worshiped in ancient Egypt. The eye in the middle of Sekmeti's headdress, on the other hand, probably stands for either the Eye of Ra (which symbolizes the sun) or the Eye of Horus (symbol of the light and sky god Horus).
