## History

### Early Years

Monique Aoki was born on November 21st, 1992 Local Time by 2 Shin'en Human slaves, under the regime of the Chimeran government. She was born a year into the 3rd World War. She was found unharmed by UDS soldiers in a cave near Oort after the atomic bombing of the country. She was later brought to the States, as the only Human who came out of the Shin'en Nation.

### Life in the United Diamond States

President Rafael Garcia II appointed Monique a guardian family, his Secretary of State Aiden Harrison and his wife, Cherry Harrison, to take care and raise Monique. She spent a happy life in the United Diamond States, attending The EchoCity Independent School District and graduating from EchoCity High School in the summer 2010 Local Time. Most of her childhood, she was seen as a shy but lovable kid by everyone around her, no one finding her a problem, with Raf having her back when she is threatened by other kids. Voyage Raf, a childhood friend of hers, after coming back home from the 4th world war, once got into a fight with 4 guys trying to seduce the obviously uncomfortable Monique, marking the day Monique began to develop feelings for him.

### The Sylvia Event

During the Fall of 2010, Monique was one of the people that ended up making to the top of Mount Echo during the evacuation of universe 16192-B12 while it was being invaded by Sylvia. Raf II made sure his son, and her were able to go through the portal by pushing them into it, were they a couple of months in limbo before coming to the voyage 2 universe.

### Voyage 2

After the establishment of the Athenian Republic by Raf, she gladly stayed home to help around the house while Raf was busy doing his misadventures. During her free time, she would clean, do everyone's laundry, make breakfast, and practice her morse code studies. Sometimes, during Raf's free time, she would be taught political science and psychology to better help Monique with her understanding of the mind. Monique was one of the few people that fully supported Raf, and will get pissed off when someone would try to insult him or, worse, cause him harm. She insisted on him continuing the presidency a month after the Valentines Day Incident, then after a year, became the president of the Athenian Republic, making Raf the Vice President.

Together, they ran the country, until Raf's disappearance 5 months prior to where we see everyone after the 2 year time skip. She recently stepped down as President of the Athenian Republic, and became as close to Dan as Dan is to Raf, and Cerise being one of her idols and inspiration despite her disappearance. At the end of the Spring Festival, after Baja's terrorist attack and the appearance of Raf again, the stress she has been putting aside has started to get to her. Her love and anger towards Raf for disappearing, the Rift, and keeping the country together. After the closing of the rift, she resigned as president, and had moved to EchoCity in an attempt to find herself again.

After The Evacuation and re-establishment of the United States of Emerlin, she became a House speaker for the United States of Emerlin, and continues to live with Raf in Cerise.

The character was created by Raf.
