Some additional info about Mona
I thought for a while what kind of a voice she should have until I stumbled across Stranger Things: Tales from '85, heard Eleven's voice and was like "wait, that fits her perfectly!" / So my headcanon for Mona is that she'd be voiced by Brooklyn Davey Norstedt.
She has sensory issues with clothes, mainly pants, hats and shoes that have laces or whatever creates extra pressure that makes it feel like one is tighter than the other. Other shoes are fine. She has a few pants she really likes wearing but is very picky with them if they're too loose (based off me as a kid. I've grown out of it, except with hats if my hair hasn't been brushed before putting it on) and same with hats. Also grows out of it during her teens.
Will NOT make eye contact, even after she's not scared to talk to others. Looks at the ground or past them or anywhere but their face. This stays up to adulthood. Sometimes does make eye contact on purpose to test it but immediately feels awkward about it.
Once she's no longer able to go to camp due to her age she's sad about it for a long-long time, as it's become like a second home to her after all of this time and doesn't handle changes well at all. Still keeps in touch w everyone though.
Can't stand beets, broccoli (grows out of it later in life), potatoes (but forced herself to eat them anyway at camp, grows out of it sorta later too), porridge, any carrots other than raw, raisins and whipped lingonberry porridge. Eats pretty much everything else though.
Once she gets in 'the zone' she can be as enthusiastic as Nikki.
Summer is her favorite season but winter is a second.
