Relationships

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 Book 1, 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 Book 1, 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 Book 1, Chapter 9, if you spend time with her, she will tell you more about her past. She grew up in the Bronx and used to be a self-proclaimed "goody two-shoes" Honor Roll student like you in high school. Then, she met a girl whom she thought she fell "in love" with. They got caught robbing a delivery truck since Mona wanted to give her mother a new computer. When placed in separate holding cells, the girl came clean to the cops to get a lighter sentence while Mona stayed quiet. The girl got off on probation and left Mona to be prosecuted. Mona kept hoping that the girl would come bail her out, but that time never came. However, Teppei —who had seen Mona drive once in New York and saw her potential— posted her bail and helped her skip town.

In Book 1, 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). Mona states that if she had known, she would have just kidnapped you and held you for ransom instead of trying to lie and gain your trust. This provokes a sarcastic response from your character, You can choose for her or Colt to drive your car out of the Garage and take you to Riya's.

In Book 1, Chapter 13, when everything comes crashing down, she blames you for blowing Colt's plan and believing the crew to be better than what they really were. In Book 1, Chapter 14, if you choose her as your prom date, she gives herself up to the Brotherhood to allow you to escape, and tells you she is going to cut a deal with them. If you choose Colt or Logan as your prom date, she already has cut her deal by joining them, but helps you and your date escape. In Book 1, Chapter 15, she fires at your tires while you are driving your car.

When Shaw decides to try and silence you, Mona jumps at him and takes a bullet for your character. You can choose to drive her to the hospital or leave her for the cops and run. If you choose to take her to the hospital, she doesn't let you walk her to the hospital doors, telling you to leave instead and save yourself from the cops.

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 Book 1, Chapter 9, that she "fell in love" with a girl whom she was helping at the Bronx and committed petty crimes for her sake. When Mona tried to get a new computer for her mother, she was caught and prosecuted when the girl snitched on her. Kaneko, who saw her skills, bailed her out and helped give her a new identity.

Logan

Mona and Logan have a mutual understanding of each other. If you chose Logan as your prom date, Mona still helps you and Logan escape from the Brotherhood despite working for them.

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 Book 1, 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.
