## Backstory

Monika was born in the "city" of Michelle Graham to a white blood cell couple. She had a relatively happy and healthy childhood, although her older brother Luther would occasionally pick on her. Witnessing all of the interesting things that she saw occur everyday in Michelle inspired Monika to pursue a job in television journalism. After finishing community college, she got her first job as a television reporter for a news network.

One day, after work, she was visiting the digestive system, when she noticed the arrival of a pill. It was an omega-3 fatty acid pill that she took to calling "Tre". Monika decided to show Tre around the city, and they soon became friends.
