Appearance in the story
Ms. Fortune's story
Minette has appeared in Ms. Fortune's story as a waitress. At the start of the story, Minette is shown doing her job and serving costumers in the resturaunt but eventually two men, Lawrence and Riccardo, spot Minette and decide to chat her up.
Lawrence calls her over and she goes over to attend to them but once she arrives Lawrence compliments her looks saying that she is "quite the dish", Riccardo joins in and tells her to get Lawrence and himself free beers so the three of them could go out and hit the town.
Minette is obviously not interested and kindly declines saying she has work to do. After rejecting the two Lawrence began to insult her calling her a stinking gill-girl. Hearing the commotion Ms.Fortune goes over to their table and gains control over the situation by beating up Lawrence and Riccardo, forcing the two to leave the resturaunt and Minette alone.
In the epilogue of Ms. Fortune's story, she has been kidnapped along with her other "sisters" and other hostages, taken by the Medici Mafia.
Playstyle Speculation
A cute, clumsy waitress, Minette is primarily concerned with making her customers happy. Throughout the match she delivers food to passers-by who ride past on bikes, jump down from the sky, pop up from the sewer, or otherwise appear to harass the opponent for Minette’s sake. She can collect her tips with a super, and the more she collects the happier she gets! Maybe when she’s happy enough she’ll even have the confidence to overcome her clumsiness...
