[color=#0388C9]▾[/color] [u][b]Backstory:[/b][/u] Mona grew up in a single parent household; her family consisted of her mother, her twin sister, and their pet goldfish. Growing up, Mona had always been an avid music lover; singing was the one thing that kept she and her sister from falling susceptible to all of the unfavorable things that went down in their neighborhood such as gang violence, drugs, and more. Monalisa was thirteen years old when she first became aware of her unique abilities. She'd been practicing for a performance with one of her longtime friends when his eyes suddenly glazed over; as she continued to sing, the boy began to walk closer and closer to Mona, only snapping out of his trance when she stopped. Curious and slightly frightened, Mona ran straight to her mother, who revealed that she, too had this ability, but had hoped that it had not passed down to her children. After running a quick test, it was confirmed that Monalisa had been the only sibling to inherit these powers.

Per instruction from her mother, Monalisa immediately gave up singing; she was to only support her twin sister in her future endeavors rather than pursue her own as well. Mona's mother was scared for her daughter, and believed that this was the only way to prevent another incident from happening, especially on a larger scale. Unbeknownst to her mother, however, Mona stayed in contact with the boy she'd initially entranced over those few years; because he was also interested in seeing what Mona could do, he agreed to let her hypnotize him again. It was during this second session that Mona realized that she could also access people's thoughts and memories, something that only strengthened when she came into physical contact with them. Mona and her friend kept at it for days until the one time Mona managed to slip up; she ended up drastically altering an early memory that the boy had, which had a very negative impact when he went back home to his family.

Mona wanted to reverse what she did to the boy, she truly did. So, unsure of what to do, she went running back to her mother. Unfortunately, Ms. Brooks didn't know how to fix what her daughter had done since she had also been forced to give up singing when she was younger and didn't have the chance to figure out her abilities. However, after doing a lot of digging and making a few connections, Ms. Brooks found an Academy that she decided would help Mona learn how to control and hone her abilities; she figured that it would be better for her to have professional help rather than run more of her reckless little experiments. Mona has been at Skyline Academy for a couple of months; she's mostly been keeping her head down and her mouth shut.

[color=#0388C9]▾[/color] [u][b]Abilities/Weaknesses:[/b][/u] Mona is capable of emitting an astonishingly enchanting singing voice that is capable of hypnotizing/luring anyone who hears it to come towards her. Once within her reach, she is able to "poke around" in their heads; she can read their thoughts and access their memories. She can strengthen this with physical contact, which would then allow her to search the entire mind of her victims and even slightly alter some of their memories. There are a few limitations to Mona's abilities, the main one being that her target must hear the music to be affected; therefore, if someone is deaf or hard of hearing, they will not fall under her trance. Mona must also maintain a certain pitch for her victims to remain under her control; even the slightest change will have negative consequences. 

[color=#0388C9]▾[/color] [u][b]Personality:[/b][/u] Unlike the majority of her family members, Mona prefers to keep to herself. She is a textbook introvert; although being a generally friendly and intelligent young lady, she isn't very outgoing or charismatic. She'll only speak when spoken to, preferring to listen, observe, and process what other people say rather than give her own input. Mona is a calm and girl, yet is by no means a pushover. She can surely take care of herself, but is smart enough to know when to pick a fight and when to let something go. She is someone who isn't restricted by other people's opinions, and is always herself regardless of the situation.
