Game: Yggdra Union
Age: 16
Mun's Journal: feral_phoenixCanon Role: Monica was about as ordinary a girl as you would find anywhere in Bronquia, content with her life in the village of Bardot and her close friendship with Canaan--at least until the Royal Army destroyed the fortress of Ishnad and killed the Dragon General Baldus, beginning their invasion of her country. Monica didn't take that too kindly. Because most of the Imperial Army had been debilitated by the Royal Army and Emperor Gulcasa was still too sick from the events of St. Meriata to confront the Royal Army at the time, no one was left to defend the towns and villages from the marauding Fantasinians, and Bardot sat squarely in the way of Drominos and Flarewerk.
So Monica rallied her fellow villagers and created the Bronquian militia with the aid of her childhood friend Canaan. Despite having only minimal arms training, she and her comrades believed they could at least hold back the Royal Army until assistance could arrive from the capital. Sadly, they couldn't have been more wrong; Monica and her forces were all slaughtered by the reluctant Royal Army before either Canaan's division or the last Dragon General, Princess Emilia, could reach her.
In her profile in the Extra Contents, it is revealed that Monica is a particularly pious girl and that she rose to fight because of divine inspiration, making her a kind of Bronquian Jeanne d'Arc.
Apocrypha Backstory: Despite the fact that she was a commoner as ordinary as any--and the second of twelve children to boot--Monica of Bardot had big dreams. Seeing the way her parents worked all day, every day to provide for their oversized brood, Monica decided that she wanted anything but the life of a dull, plain farming housewife. With her best friend Canaan, she practiced basic swordsmanship in secret and dreamed about becoming a real hero for her country, maybe changing the sad state of her country for the better.
She was sad and a little bit jealous when Canaan was chosen to receive a scholarship to the Collegium, but decided to be happy for her friend--and because she remained at home, she was witness to the revival of Bronquia's spirit under their new (and quite young) Emperor, Gulcasa. When she was also offered her own partial scholarship to the Collegium awhile later, she accepted it gratefully--not only would Canaan be there, but her newly minted hero would, too!
Monica is a cheery, willful, and generally spirited young girl. Lately she's begun wondering if she might be developing feelings for Canaan, though she certainly does get starry-eyed over the new Emperor. She only has one real secret--the divine voices she's always heard since she was a small child--and that's something that only Canaan knows about. She hopes that she can find out more about them at the school, though. She takes most of her classes at Gladiara, although she also has some at Medicans and Scholastica, and hasn't yet declared herself to one of the three.
Sample Post: Shaken from her reverie by a gentle nudge in the ribs, Monica blinked and turned towards the girl she was sharing her pew with.
"Service is over, Monica--we have to leave now," the girl pointed out in hushed tones.
Monica tried not to pout. She could barely remember what the Voices had been telling her this time; it was all she could do to recall the beauty of the trance. She
hated being interrupted when they were speaking to her, but...
She glanced up at the stained glass panels above the altar as she stood. Tomorrow she could always come down here again, and hear more.
