The full 2100 lunar year continues into 2101, through January 28, 2101. A birthday on February 8, 2100 belongs to the Goat; a birthday one day later, on February 9, 2100, belongs to the Monkey.

Monkey personality in tradition
The Monkey is often associated with cleverness and playfulness, familiar qualities in Chinese storytelling.
The phrase “curious & inventive” describes a traditional association with this animal, rather than a rule about everyone born in 2100. The year element is one part of the calendar; it does not establish a person's complete five-elements or Bāzì chart.
我属猴。
Wǒ shǔ hóu. “I was born in the Year of the Monkey.”
Monkey compatibility in folklore
Monkey, Rat and Dragon form a traditional harmony group of three. Tiger sits opposite Monkey, six places away in the twelve-animal cycle. These describe symbolic positions, not evidence of who will make a good partner.
