Monica Felizardo
Monica, who is typically confused as Mona, Bona, or Bonica (probably due to her inseparability from her best friend Bona), now travels her own path as a writer. Due to her introverted nature, she enjoys spending her free time reading novels and drawing. She prides herself with her diligence and dedication in everything she does. Though she admits that she’s clueless in writing news stories and is quite terrible in timed writings, she joined the school newspaper in the hopes of improving her writing skills and polishing her style. Now in her final year of high school, she hopes to make it her best year and looks forward to the future.
