Personality

There is no possible way that a person can fully change. Whether it was a traumatizing event or the need to rid of negative attributes, it's still the same result. Somewhere deep inside them, they're still the same way. Same goes for Monika, after everything, she's still the same old Monika. The mild laughless state is just that, a state; she's always been mellow and calm, considerate, and maybe a little off in la-la land, although she tends to demonstrate just how realistic she is, almost painfully.

Vain and materialistic, those have been her sins for the last fifteen years, and it's gotten her to very good times and recently very rough times. She's the kind of person to choose a wad of hundreds over her friend or family member, and she can't help it. In her eyes, money is happiness, and if there is none, then it's time to work 80 hours a week just to get it. That way, she's lost many friends and more.

There isn't much to tell about Monika's story, trying keep those rough times a mystery. She was born in Europe, more specifically in Lithuania, while it was still a USSR country. She wasn't six years old yet when her parents took her and two of her older sisters and emigrated to Chicago, Illinois. The only city Monika has grown to hate. When she turned of age, she eloped to California with a 30-year-old Polish man, who promised her riches. Thats when Monika's life began the downward slope. She worked many hours, long and labor filled hours, the man traveled, only coming back on the weekends. Although, Monika was extremely exhausted from work, they've begun living a financial comfort but it was a marital chaos.

And then she was pregnant. That's when the downward slope became steep and tunnel-like, flying downward.

Six months later, Monika moves to Chesapeake Bay to find refuge at her Aunt's household, her family having ignored her calls and slammed the door on her. Those six months later, she looked as thin as ever...
