00V. description Mona is often described in many ways, ranging from ambitious to protective. She could be modest with you and say that she was like everyone else when it came to her intelligence, But that would be lying. Mona will look you straight in the face and tell you that she smarter then the average person. She's not being smug or bragging, but merely telling the truth. Mona hold's her education high and is proud of her brains. She worked hard through school to become the smart woman that people talked about. Though she is confident in her intelligence, she is overall unsure of herself. She is always doubting everything she does, and it shows in the way she walks and dresses. When she is working as in intern she wears classic business attire to hide that she is unsure if her work is good enough.She puts on a fake stride to cover the almost painful nerves that fill her. The smile that is almost always is plastered to her face is mostly fake. When off the clock Mona’s self doubt shows obviously in her attire. The once flattering business attire is replaced with Dark Jeans and baggie hoddie. They cover her body and keeps her hidden from the world. She wears her hair down and lets her natural wavy hair do whatever it wishes. She is an attractive woman, even though she doesn’t see herself as so.

00I. overall personality Mona is a very intelligent girl, in fact it would be the one thing that she would put ahead of everything else. She is always trying to find ways to expand her ever growing mental capacity. She keeps a book around her at all times and is always keeping notes. She uses her Intelligence to get her way, and she likes it best that way. It gives her a rush to see her brains in action, which is why you will see her volunteering or interning in as many places as possible. She goes to flea markets and bargain stores just so she can barter the prices down and feel smart. She is in constant need of showing others what she can do. She always has to prove to others that she is good enough to do anything she is challenged to. she is confident in herself and the future that she has set upon herself. She keeps her future in her mind in all times, and when she feels down or upset it's what pushes her forward. Mona is often found smiling and laughing with people, she makes others feel good about themselves and helps them through their problems. That was going to be her job anyways, to be a therapist, so why not get an early start on it. But she has a secret, deep on the inside she's not the happy girl she seems. Deep down in her heart she feel lost and alone in the world. She feels like she will never find someone to love her the way that she is. No one will love the real her, only the person she pretends to be. But her face shows none of that fear and darkness, it is her little secret.

Mona has many things in life that she fears , failure, stupidity (her own), love, but the thing that has to be the thing she fears the most is the past. The past seems to haunt Mona's dreams. Most people who see her life through the looking glass would think she had a wonderful childhood, but then again their not the ones who fell into the rabbit hole. The only thing in her past that she does not believe should not be changed was meeting Dolores Haze. Her best friend and the person who drags her out of her shell. Without Dolores she would be stuck in the past that follows her. She doesn't believe in love , not that she would tell anyone. She thinks love is something that is only given to those who are pure. Not someone who is broken like herself. Mona has low self esteem when it comes to everything other then her intelligence. She doesn't see herself as beautiful or lovely, only as plain and boring. She is completely oblivious on how attractive she really is to others.

Mona is a naturally kind person. She lets others tell their side of the story before she judges who is right or wrong. She loves to help others and uses her pain to help others through theirs. It pushes her forward to reach the goals that she has set above herself. She is very ambitious but that sometimes leads her to have false hope, or fall on her face. She works herself to exhaustion, and often is sleep deprived. Lately Mona’s personality has started to slip. She no longer smiles constantly and gets frustrated easily. She doesn’t like people touching her and will pull away from anyone who comes close to her. Even those closest to her heart.

0II. overall history Mona always knew she was different from other children in her upscale New York neighborhood. It wasn't the fact that she was smarter then the average six year old, or that her parents didn't care where she was during the day. She knew why she felt different , it was because of what she looked like. Surrounded by people with perfect blonde hair and pale skin, she was an instant out cast, even at her young age. Her light brown skin and dark hair made her a target for bullies. They followed her and call her viscous names. She was good at ignoring them though, she was used to being called names by her father. But then the kids started to isolate her completely. She was all alone with out anyone to be her friend. She feared that she would always be friendless, until she meet Dolores Haze. The girl who changed Mona's life. Moan had sat on the swings during recess one day, when a group a boys surrounded her. She just kept her head down and ignored them, but then one boy grabbed hold of her long hair and pulled it. He pulled her hair so hard that she fell backwards off the swing and hit her head. The boys laughed and started to kick her and throw the playground rocks on her as she laid there on the ground in pain and sadness. And then she heard a voice call out and the boys were suddenly running away from her as fast as they could. Mona kept her eyes shut closed hoping that they would the new person would make her beating quick. But instead she felt a soft hand on her arm. She opened her eyes to see her very one fire haired angel. Mona couldn't believe it, this was the person who made the boys stop their punishment towards her? She was in awe, and then the girl reached down and helped Mona up before dragging her to the playground. It was that day that Mona knew two things, 1) She and Dolores Haze would be BFF's and 2) that boys would never be interesting again.

Mona's home life was never the highlight of her world. Her mother was an ex- beauty pageant queen who now turned into an alcoholic house wife. Her face that once was so beautiful was now flushed with the alcohol that flooded her system. Mona's father was a successful music producer that was never home. And when he was home he was cruel and harsh towards his only daughter. He called her names and pushed her around without cause. The only thing that made Mona's home life bearable was the library that held her books. Mona was taught how to read by her maid when she was four, and since then the books had been her lifeline. She used them to keep her from drowning in the world around her. When her father had once pushed her a little to hard and she had fell down the stairs, it was the books that kept her comfort. When her mother had thrown her bottle of vodka at Mona's head because she tripped and spilled some of her wine, it was books that kept her company while she got the glass removed. She made her own little world that only consisted of the good things she found in books and nothing could hurt her there.

As Mona grew older she started to feel differently around certain people. Mostly girls, she couldn't help the urges that she felt for the girls around her. She thought that they looked beautiful, and compelling. She kept having these strange feelings in the pit of her stomach when they would pass her in the hallways. Like a slow fire that spread up from her stomach to her whole body. It was a strange, scary feeling that was oddly addicting. Then Mona realized that the fire grew when she was around Dolores. She got a feeling in her chest that felt like her heart would beat so hard that her rib cage would burst. She didn't understand what the feeling was, she was only in middle school how was she supposed to know what it was. Until she noticed that she was always the happiest around Dolores. Everything about her made Mona feel that fire in her stomach grow. She understood now that she was in love with Dolores. Her Best Friend Forever, and the love of her life Dolores. Of course Mona was heartbroken when Dolores didn't love her back, but she was determined not to lose her best friend. She pretended like her heart didn't feel sad or weighted down and smiled through the pain. and then Dolores started to get interested in any boy that came her way and Mona's heart shattered. She never told Dolores how she felt or what she had done to her. She just kept the Mona Lisa smile upon her face.

It was in High school that Mona started to change into something beautiful. Her body finally grew in and her curves became pronounced and puberty doing it's magic. Her clothes started to fit better and her face became softer. Her once strange skin and eye tones now were labeled exotic. She was labeled attractive,or hot, or (her personal favorite) ungettable. Mona had high standards when it came to people she brought into her life. Her number one standard that could not be broken was no boys. This broke a few peoples dreams but it also made a few girls lives. Mona dedicated her life to the people she was in a relationship with. She gave her whole self into the relationship which made any relationship with Mona a serious one. She was a woman who knew what she wanted , when she wanted it and how it was to happen. And it was rare that anyone denied the chance to be with her.

And then Mona told her parents the truth. It was a Sunday night and they had tried to be a normal "family" for dinner.which meant that her father didn't hit her or talk on his i-phone and his mother drank her vodka from a glass instead of the bottle. Mona sat there staring at the burnt chicken that made her sick. she looked at her parents and felt her stomach fill with butterflies before she blurted out what was obvious ,"Mother, Father , I'm Lesbian" the shocks on their faces would of been funny if it had been any other moment. But then her father got up and dragged Mona out of the room and shoved her down the hall. He forced her to get her stuff and get out of the house. They didn't give her any money or goodbye hugs. Just a shove out the door and a push into the pouring rain.

Mona stumbled through the rain trying not to think about what just happen. The rejection and the pain that filled her. She soon found herself on a Bridge looking down on the water that was held below. She climbed up onto the railing and held on tightly. She almost slipped into the dark waters and ended it all. She wanted to so much. But it was her reflection that stopped her. She saw the pathetic reflection that stared back at her, and froze. She looked like a different person. A person that she was not. With shaky hands she climbed down slowly and walked away from the bridge. Never looking back.

Mona had never felt so alone and lost in the world. She wondered around New York till she found a cheep hotel to sleep in. It was that day that she vowed that she would do everything in her power to prove to her parents she was worth being loved. No matter who she chose to be.
III. sample post

Mona sat outside the New York Mall on the cold steps. She sat with her elbows on her knees and her chin resting in her palms. She stared out into space, her mind going blank. She had had a stressful week and was happy that it was Friday and she didn't have to work, or go to school for two days. She would be perfectly fine with staying in bed for the rest of her weekend and not answering her phone for anything. She knew though that wouldn't happen, especially since it was Dolores that had called her. And Mona could never say no to Dolores. Lo had been her first friend, and the person who had saved her from being a helpless loner for the rest of her young life. Mona was still her one and only true friend, and the only person that knew about her past. Lo was also the only person on the face of the planet who could get Mona out of bed at eight o'clock in the morning to go window shopping.

Mona sighed and closed her eyes as she thought about when she had first became friends with Lo. When she first saw her, Mona thought Lo looked like a Fairy or like Arial from the little mermaid, she never told Lo, but Mona had loved her since that moment. She remembered when she had first realized her feelings for her Best Friend.She was scared and timid around Lo for a short while, before the truth was forced out of her. Mona couldn't hide the pain that she felt when Lo had said that she didn't like Mona the same way. It had hurt so much to admit that the person she loved the most could never love Mona back. But Mona laughed it off and continued to act like nothing could hurt her. It's where her "Mona Lisa " Smile came from. A way to hide all her true feelings from the world.

Mona felt the wind blow through her hair, sending a slight shiver down her back. She knew her smile worked on many people, but she rarely used it around Lo. She didn't want to deceive her best friend, but sometimes it was necessary for her to hide things from Dolores. Otherwise she was afraid that Lo would start asking questions that Mona wasn't ready to answer. Like why she didn't hold on the girlfriends for more then a month, or why she let people experiment their feelings on her and ask nothing in return. Mona had excepted her fate in the world, as someone who is impossible to love. Her parents didn't love her, and they were supposed to be the people who love her no matter what. They were the reason she hated families.

Mona let out a quiet sigh before starting to hum a Disney song from The Nightmare before Christmas. She loved music, but not like Lo did. She liked it because of the calming effect it had on people's system. She would never let others hear her sing , or ever think of having a profession in Music. She had grown up around hundreds of Music stars thanks to her father's job. They had all seemed bigger then life and active, but Mona noticed that they also ignored the little things around them. Such as her. She didn't want to lose the part of her inside that loved all the little things and people in life. It's why she fed the homeless and volunteered at the Suicide ward at the hospital. She wanted the feeling that she felt inside her to stay alive, not matter what.

Mona kept humming while the wind blew lightly against her light jacket and jeans. She went for casual, because she knew Lo wouldn't care if she dressed up or not. Mona loved that about Lo, how no matter what Mona wore , lo still was friends with her. A smile graced Mona's lips as she thought about her very best friend in the whole world. They were truly as different as could be, yet the worked perfectly together. Mona loved how they were two pieces of a whole when it came to friendship. She kept her eyes closed and waited for Dolores to show up .
