Description
A thin, auburn-haired, freckled woman with professionally sculpted beauty. Her expressions include a faint or knowing smile; under stress, her usual smirk gives way to open fear and wide eyes. Monica has a professionally calm face, with makeup unable to fully conceal the ashen cast beneath it. Her jaw is set and her lips are thin, while a small twinkle in her eyes can surface beneath her controlled expression. She carries herself with practiced composure, though nervous laughter sometimes breaks through. The text does not specify her hair, build, eye color, age, or clothing.
