An instance is shown when Your Character chooses to tail Kaneko with her instead of with Colt or Logan in the premium scene, she mocks them by blowing a kiss. If Your Character gets to know her better, her personality stems back to when she states "not everyone in the world gets to be fair with you."

Your Character
Mona meets Your Character when Teppei Kaneko and Logan bring you to the garage after the side show. Depending on how you answer (hesitant or confident), she teases you. If you ask her about Colt and she tells you about his attractive features, she also tells you he is not her type and that she appreciates the finer things in life.

In Chapter 5, you can choose to sit in her car at the drive-in theater but you don't talk much and she doesn't share her candy. In Chapter 6, she kisses you on the cheek to wish you good luck on your DMV driver's license exam. After you pass, you all head to grab food. If you choose to listen to West Coast hip-hop and rap along, she says she is kinda turned on.

In Chapter 9, if you spend time with her, she will tell you more about her past. She grew up in the Bronx, and she used to be a goody two-shoes Honor Roll student like you in high school. Then, she met a girl and thought she was "in love". They got caught stealing cars and when placed in separate holding cells, the girl turned on her while she stayed quiet. So, the girl got off and she would have been prosecuted. However, Teppei -who she never met before- posted her bail and helped her skip town.

Teppei Kaneko
He is her boss and she greatly respects him. She stated that she owed him after he helped her from drowning into something bad. It is revealed in the Chapter 9, she "fell in love" with a girl whom she was helping at the Bronx and tried to get a new computer for her mother but she was prosecuted when the girl snitched on her.
