Initially seeming like a bored, reserved minigame host, ''Plague of Shadows'' reveals that Mona is actually Plague Knight's closest assistant in alchemy, and the reason he's able to safely store the Essences to create the Ultimate Potion. Mona is always eager to research anything she can, from bomb-building to conjuration to potion-brewing, and when the Mirror of Fate unexpectedly pulls her into it, she's more than ready to put that research to the test! | |||

Mona is always eager to research anything she can, from bomb-building to conjuration to potion-brewing, and when the Mirror of Fate unexpectedly pulls her into it, she's more than ready to put that research to the test!
