Manon was shown to be in a relationship with Rody for an unspecified duration before Rody began working at La Gueule de Saturne. It is revealed during the aftermath of ending 3 that she broke up with Rody, expressing her frustration at witnessing Rody compromise his personal progress solely to ensure her happiness. She shows genuine concern for Rody's self-sacrificing devotion and a desire for him to prioritize his own well-being. Manon's decision to end the relationship is an act of encouragement for Rody to focus on himself first, as she believed that he was not ready for a relationship given his current circumstances. Not much else is known about her, she appears to be a bubbly and kind individual in the sketches who likes to buy Rody clothes to wear and style his casual outfits, she also enjoys baking him food suggesting an interest in both baking and fashion. However, she also canonically beats up other women at weddings to catch the thrown flower bouquet, suggesting she is a competitive and passionate individual and has a strong desire to get married and settle down.

He openly admits to being a "kitchen hazard" and is portrayed as lazy, neglecting dishes, bathroom leaks, and overall tidiness, as well as constantly burning food. At the house party, during an interaction with Richard, it is said that Rody was cockier and more confident when he was younger. The people in his class also are mentioned to have expected him to flunk out, and Richard doesn't seem shocked when Rody admits this fact, much to his disappointment.
