| “ | JIMMY FIVE!!! | „ |
| ~ Monica screaming Jimmy's name whenever he messes with her |
Monica Sousa is the titular main protagonist of the long running comic book franchise, Monica's Gang, and its spin-off, Moncia Teen, as well as multiple of its adaptations.
She is a girl from a Brazilian block called the Lemon Tree Neighbourhood, gifted with a mysterious super strength that she received from her first plush bunny ever, Hercubunny. She'd grow up and, because of her strength, considered "leader of the street", leading to many confrontations with the block's boys, who wanted the title, especially one called Jimmy Five. However, when situation called for it, Monica was a friend and supportive of the whole gang, even with those she come to odds with at times.
As a teen, she stopped brawling with the street's boys, and looked forward to a more peaceful lifestyle, though her characteristic hot-headedness is still present sometimes. Supernatural things still happen and she, as well as the gang, have come to find it normal, though the challenges as teenagers were much more dangerous, darker and with higher stakes than those of which when they were children.
In the cartoons, she was voiced by Marli Borboletto and formerly by Maria Amélia Costa Manso.

What Prevents Her From Being Pure Good?[]

- She has some arrogant scenes where she brags about herself.
Trivia[]
- Before the release of Monica Teen in 2008, Monica couldn't be considered Near Pure Good, as she had too many anger issues, constantly beat down her friends, and even whenever she got character development, it could be retconned by another writer. It wasn't until Monica Teen set a definite storyline and character development for her, set years after the loose continuity kid comic series that is up until today, that she could be considered NPG.
- However, considering how the comics became more and more delicate with subjects such as beating up your friends, as well as other "politically incorrect" antics of the gang, she could maybe qualify as NPG even without Moncia Teen, as even in the mainstream comics she is much lighter nowadays.
