Background & Family

Mona Isabella is a woman born in August 2068 in Napoli, during an economic boom and the city's rise! She always enjoyed a certain privilege due to her social status. Her parents were once proletarians working for Mineria Ferrossa, but following an accident and the 2054 revolt in Napoli, they emerged victorious.

​

Very few received the infamous revolt scholarship. To silence the most audacious and courageous protesters, this scholarship was a way to appease the fiercest proletarian revolutionaries.

​

It's obvious, and this is where Mona's strong character comes from, that her parents got a substantial share of the windfall.

In 2060, they eventually left Napoli, carefully investing in real estate. Mona's father had a keen nose and always had good intuition; he knew that despite its troubles and disillusionments, Napoli could eventually bring hope and happiness to its residents. The timing just wasn't right to stay longer.

​

The investments flourished, and the Isabella family returned to Napoli in 2067 to finally give birth to Mona under the best conditions.

She was a more than desired girl whom her parents struggled to bring into the world. But they wanted her more than anything, so they continued relentlessly to try and try. Thus, in 2068, the great Mona Isabella was born, in a privileged setting with a proletarian past.

​

She went to school, then to middle school and high school. She received a remarkable education from her wholehearted parents. Her father wanted to instill in her his most precious values: follow one's intuition, have confidence in oneself, and listen to the signs of the universe. For a former proletarian from Via Veneto, the stereotypes might have quickly labeled him as a eccentric or a mystical man straight out of a cult. But no, he simply always had faith in his lucky star, and that's what he absolutely wanted to impart to his dear daughter.

Parisian Getaway

Mona Isabella studied literature and humanities at the University of Sorbonne in France. Coming from a French-origin family on her mother's side, they often vacationed in France and took long train journeys along the entire Mediterranean coast.

​

In France, she made many friends, despite the difficulty of integrating into the bitterly romantic city that is Paris.

She will long remember the winter nights spent walking in the slippery and dirty streets illuminated by the city lights. She loves Paris more than her own city, but it's like a toxic relationship from which she would like to break free.

​

Mona was a rather challenging woman, confident, sometimes too much so, and she tended to repel her first encounters. But once this shell was pierced and defenses lowered, Mona could finally express herself without fear of hurting others. She got that from her father after all—his frankness, honesty, audacity, and courage to be herself every day.

​

This personality trait earned her numerous comments in the world of work, both negative and positive. Businessmen, women of high society—everyone loves strong-willed temperaments. While some of her precious friends failed, she succeeded.

Her guilt was immense, and every year she had to part ways with people she loved.

​

That was also the difficulty of being Mona Isabella; she undoubtedly had a lucky star, followed the signs of the universe, and succeeded. But she felt terribly alone.

​

At the end of her studies, she decided to leave Paris, this profoundly lonely city, to return to Italy and work on the communication and branding of various fashion companies.

Present & Future

In 2094, she settled in Napoli, in the neighborhood near the Charlotta Opera. She could once again enjoy her family life and be close to her parents. Mona took her time, knowing that she would soon find a job that would truly captivate her. But this time, she just didn't want to be alone, or at least, to feel alone, because physically, she had never been alone, always surrounded by the presence of others.

​

Her work fascinates her, but she feels a void; she wants to belong to a larger world and be in the spotlight. She knows it's her destiny. So, when Federico offered her to join his Organization in charge of communication and events in 2104, Mona collapsed and cried on her bed. She knew Mente Scope all too well; Federico and Katrina were iconic figures in the city and the country, and she wanted to be part of that world.

​

For three years, she worked tirelessly, organizing numerous meetings and conferences, important events, with communication and marketing strategies that were always effective and impactful. Katrina and Federico were proud to have her as one of the first affiliated members. Mona Isabella had heavy responsibilities, and her work consumed all her time. She remained audacious, faithful in defending her ideas, and she shone every day. To top it all off, she no longer felt alone. She was surrounded by fantastic colleagues with whom she could let the vulnerability beneath her tough exterior show.

​

Unfortunately, she discovered significant issues in Federico's organization and came across "secret" files—stories of tax fraud, lies. Perhaps this organization was not what she thought, but she had had a good time, and that's what she desired the most. In 2106, she managed to access Federico's access codes to try to extract information and perhaps reveal to the world what was hidden behind the organization. Federico wanted to obtain many private data and resell most of others' creations by appropriating them. Mona, who hated lies and deception, had to act. Unfortunately, the security of the Memoria Archives and Federico's growing paranoia prevented anyone, even the responsible Mona Isabella, from accessing anything.

​

But finally, a year later, in 2107, after being saved by Sofia's benevolence during the accident at Monte Alto Stadium, Mona assumed her responsibilities and entrusted the heavy task of exposing Federico's actions to the world. She asked Sofia as a last resort, but she knew that Sofia simply wanted to find her missing husband and not disrupt the scientific world of Napoli.

​

That night, Mona collapsed and "prayed" to the universe; she was so grateful to be under a lucky star, to have been saved, and to have accomplished her "mission." She had done nothing to deserve all this, she thought. She had remained authentic and true to herself, as her father had always told her!

​

But after all, maybe that was the truth, and maybe that's simply what the universe demands? To remain oneself in all circumstances...
