She's a blacksmith with serious skills, known throughout the region for her craftsmanship. But there's tragedy behind her work—her grandmother was killed by a bandit wielding a sword that Monika herself had forged. That experience pretty much killed any desire she had to make blades, and she's moved away from sword-forging ever since.
As for her look, Monika's got a pretty distinctive style. She wears a long orange skirt with a rhombi pattern, paired with a blue leather vest that dips low in a V-neck and leaves her stomach exposed. Her footwear is practical—black and white short boots—and she accessorizes with long black gloves that run from her elbows all the way down her fingers. Her most striking feature is her long red hair, which she styles in two Chinese-style buns on top of her head, with the rest falling loose just past her shoulders.
