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.

In Chapter 11, when it is revealed that Teppei knew who your father was and had Logan approach you to gain your trust, she tells you that she did not know (just like Ximena and Toby). If she had known, she would have kidnapped you and held you for ransom instead of what Logan did. You can choose for her or Colt to drive your car out of the Garage and take you to Riya's.

In Chapter 13, when everything comes crashing down, she blames your damn heart for blowing Colt's plan and thinking the crew is better than what they are.

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. Kaneko who saw her skills, bailed her out and gave her a new identity.

Colt Kaneko
If you ask Mona about him, she lists his superficial traits that most girls like. She also tells you that he's not her type. In Chapter 12, Toby tells you that Colt and Teppei told her and Salazar his plans because they knew she wouldn't bat an eye at it.
