—Monica in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes
Monica is a character from Fire Emblem: Three Houses and Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. She is a student of the Garreg Mach Monastery Officers Academy and a member of the Black Eagles. She possesses a minor Crest of Macuil and is 18 years old at the start of the game.
Profile[]
Monica was born as the eldest daughter of the adopted son of Baron Ochs in Imperial Year 1161, her father inheriting the title of Baron Ochs in 1171. She was enrolled as a student at the Garreg Mach Monastery Officers Academy in 1179 as a member of the Black Eagles, but vanished shortly before graduation, leaving many with the impression that she ran away.
Three Houses[]
It is revealed that Monica was, in fact, captured by the Death Knight. Byleth rescues her right along with Flayn during the events of Horsebow Moon in 1180, and Monica is allowed to re-enroll in the Black Eagles so she may finish her education.

In reality, the Monica encountered in the story is none other than Kronya in disguise. The real Monica's whereabouts are not known, though Seteth surmises that she was likely killed so Kronya could freely masquerade as her to infiltrate the monastery and serve as a liaison between the Agarthans and Edelgard, although this is never definitively proven. Her father appeared to have known of her fate sometime later, but was under the belief that she was still alive and desperately tried to bring her back.
Three Hopes[]
In early 1180, the Officer's academy deploy some of their students as a monthly task to raid a local stronghold of the bandit Kostas. The task delegated to the house Jeritza and Shez are assigned to. During the raid, they come upon a prison cell where Monica is held. Grateful for her saviors, Monica leave the stronghold and returns to the Officer's Academy where she points to Tomas as her kidnapper. Solon is forced to drop his guise as a result and vanishes from the Academy. Free from captivity, Monica rejoins the Black Eagles.
War Phase[]
A year after the closure of the Officer's Academy, war has erupted across Fódlan between the three nations. Monica remains loyal to the Adrestian Empire regardless of route and has become an Imperial Army general.
Personality[]
Monica is playful, extroverted, and casual in her interactions. Several students note that she is much more cheerful, overly so, than prior to her disappearance. Hilda, who knew Monica from the year before, believes that she is acting this way to pretend she is okay after the ordeal. She also appeared to have a good relationship with her father, and insists on calling Edelgard 'Edel'.

In reality, this is merely Kronya's own personality peeking out while impersonating Monica, which the other students mistakenly believe this shift in personality as a means to cope with her kidnapping.
In Three Hopes, Monica is depicted as fond of Edelgard and trying to do everything in her power to be of service to her and curry her affection, much to Edelgard's own confusion. Her supports also make it clear that she is jealous of Shez and Hubert for how close they are to her, and disagrees with the latter often, only finding common ground in their subservience to Edelgard. Ironically, some of her tastes are the opposite of Edelgard's, as Monica dislikes sweets but loves to swim, especially in the sea near her home, whereas Edelgard cannot swim.
Although she seems largely unfazed by the experience, Monica does sometimes wonder just how much her death might have affected things while also becoming determined to laying waste to her kidnappers to any available opportunity, as shown in her paralogue with Bernadetta, particularly showing pleasure in getting the chance of payback at Kronya.
Monica often boasts of her capacity to remember everything she sees, which is reflected in both the war effort and her personal ability. She uses this ability to record minute details of Edelgard's life during the war effort to an obsessive degree.
She is also a big fan of Dorothea, whose concerts she used to attend when she was younger.
