ABILITIES:
SKILLS:
WEAKNESSES:
- Ability Nullification (touch): By touching someone with abilities, Monica is able to nullify their abilities for a specific time. This ability is limited to her hand however it appears to work through clothes, thus not requiring skin-to-skin contact. This has been known to last no shorter than a minute and no longer than twenty-four hours, though it's rare that it would last that long.
- Probability Manipulation: This is an ability she really has no control over. It just happens, things will just randomly go in her favor. Majority of the time, she doesn't even notice it and she isn't even fully sure she has this ability or if it's all just coincidences.
SKILLS:
- Hacking: Though she would never admit it, she's one of the best hackers in the world.
- Combat (advanced): Over the years, she's spent much time and devotion to learning multiple forms of combat and mastering them to the best of her ability.
- Weaponry (advanced): Just like her combat training, she devoted much time, specifically years, to learning how to wield a variety of weaponry.
- Stealth: She's highly skilled and knowledgeable in remaining unseen.
- Interrogation: She's skilled in interrogation, specifically how to break or manipulate someone to get the information she wants.
- Connections: Through her FBI as well as personal connections, she's able to pull in favors with powerful people when needed.
WEAKNESSES:
- Only Human: None of Monica's powers protect her from being hurt. She's not bulletproof or invulnerable. She's as susceptible to being injured or getting sick as the average human.
- Pushing On: Along with getting hurt, she's likely to ignore her own injuries and pain in order to help someone else or take someone down. She's highly likely to push herself well past her limits with negative results.
- Hot Headed: She's cocky in her skills - sometimes for good reasons. This can lead to her underestimating her enemies or even overestimating herself.
- A Bit Too Blunt: She says what she wants, when she wants to. This can possibly have a negative affect on her personal relationships.
- Quick Temper: She can be angered easily and quickly - clouding her judgement. This happens the most often when she feels her children are being put in danger or are being hurt.
Appearance
GENERAL: Monica stands at five feet and nine inches tall. She has straight dark brown hair that brushes her shoulders. Her skin is a rose shade. Her eyes are a soft, medium brown. She prefers wearing clothes that she feels powerful and confident in, that show off her figure. She most often wears all black. Body language-wise, she holds herself purposefully to come off as intimidating or dangerous.
COSTUME: She's purposefully styled her costume after the style her children seem to prefer. She wears all black - pants, ankle boots with short and flat heels, a shirt with a leather jacket on top, gloves, and a domino mask. She usually has her hair tied up to keep it out of her face. She has no specific symbol or logo on her costume.

Personality
Monica is most often described as a brash and harsh woman. When she knows what she wants, she takes it. People get in her way, she's more likely to try to take them out than go around them. She has virtually no filter when it comes to what she says or how she feels. She makes it clear when she's angry and she'll make sure someone knows how she feels about them. She's very blunt in that regard. She doesn't understand lying to protect someone's feelings - unless that someone is one of her children or like a son/daughter/child to her.
Like stated under weaknesses, she has a quick temper and can get violent when angry. This doesn't mean she's prone to being abusive - she would never put her hands on someone she cared about like that. She's more likely to stab a table with a dagger to vent her frustration. She's also cocky, often thinking when it comes to physical skills, most people are beneath her and not worth her time in combat.
Monica is also prone to stubbornness which can often go along with her cockiness. Even if she's injured, she's likely to push on in order to achieve whatever goal she has at the time rather than pause it and receive medical treatment. This stubbornness also often bleeds into her protectiveness over the people she cares about, especially her children. She gets angry and violent when her children are threatened or put in danger. She's not a "helicopter mom" but is always there when her children truly need her.

History
Born Monica Emalee Clay, she grew up in Phoenix, Arizona with her family before moving to Astaria, Oregon to attend college. There she met and quickly fell in love with a sweet talker named Hank Stane, after meeting him at a local bar. Their relationship was a fast, hot, and unstable one. They moved in together after only a month of dating. They argued a lot and occasionally shoved each other. She took a self-defense class at her college, and started learning on her own how to fight and wield weapons. But she believed she loved Hank, despite the dysfunction of their relationship. When she discovered she was pregnant with her first child, she told Hank and he proposed to her. The two of them then eloped.
She had two more kids with Hank after getting married. Their relationship continued to be dysfunctional. She knew for a fact that he was cheating on her, and she also found their intimacy together to be lacking. She had affairs of her own, choosing to not be committed to a man who had never really been committed to her. Then she had her youngest son. A few years later, when her eldest was nine years old, Hank walked out on their family. She didn't even bother going to the courts. She hacked into the databases and put herself and Hank as officially divorced.
Even while all that was going on, she'd been climbing the ranks of the FBI, slowly but surely becoming its top agent. She focused on her work and her children, determined to raise them as a successful single mother. Of course she had fun when she could - a girl has needs, after all.
Unlike her children, there are seemingly no gaps in Monica's memories. She developed her abilities when she was sixteen years old but never actually noticed them until she was thirty-one, when she was confronted by a powered criminal and she grabbed them, nullifying their own abilities. She traveled the world for the FBI, occasionally partnering up with agents of The Aegis, though she never wanted to join their team.
Eventually they came into contact with a masked criminal called Perses. Both of them barely escaped their battle and she spent the past year chasing him, only recently returning to Astaria. It's unclear when she officially took up her Valkyrie persona but she also seems very much aware of her children's vigilante personas. She seems to know much more about what goes on in Astaria than people think she should know.
