Out of the three, Monica appeared to be the bravest and most courageous in the group, as she did not hesitate to save Theo from the poachers, despite knowing the chances of beating them are slim.
Plot[]
Search For Minerva Arc[]
Monica, Jake and Theo were first introduced in Goldy Pond, in which they had their first encounter with the Poachers. Monica managed to damage one of the attendants, but was still surrounded by the monsters. However, Emma swung an axe at one of the Poachers and told the orphans to run.[1]
Monica is killed by Leuvis.
After reaching safer grounds, Monica and the others briefly introduced themselves to Emma. They were told to tell the monsters to come after her if they were to be killed, and then they split up, with Monica, Jake and Theo heading downwind of where they were.[2]
Leuvis expected the children to head downwind and tried to kill Theo, but this time Jake protected him and got himself killed in the process. Theo and Monica fled the scene, but Leuvis caught up soon and killed her on the spot, leaving Theo devastated.
Skills and Abilities[]
Weapons[]
When Monica tries to defend herself and Theo, she used a spear to fight against the poachers.

Monica was known to be very close to her siblings ever since their time they had spent in the orphanage they were once in. The trio was seen together even during desperate measures during the poachers' hunt, showing how attached she was to Jake and Theo. She was shocked to see Jake die for the sake of her and Theo and told Theo to run for his life but not soon after she was murdered as well.

Trivia[]
- The following are Monica's rankings in some of The Promised Neverland's official popularity polls.
- In Shounen Jump's popularity poll results announced in Chapter 88, Monica is in 45th place.
- In Shounen Jump's 2nd popularity poll results announced in Chapter 102, Monica is in 36th place.
- Similar to Conny's death in Chapter 1, Jake and Monica's death in Chapter 68 was meant to convey a sense of extreme danger and urgency to escape.[3]
- In Shirai's first draft, Jake was the only one who died. But it would be incomplete if Monica survived. Shirai wanted to draw out the reader's empathy by making Theo the only survivor.[3]
