Personality

Below is a brief description of the snooty personality. For more information, click here.

Monique has a snooty personality, which means she loves makeup and gossiping. As a snooty villager, Monique will first appear rude and arrogant towards the player, often talking about herself and her own experiences. She also speaks about the style and appearance of other villagers, usually other female villagers such as normal, peppy, and other snooty villagers. She will soon warm up to the player, confiding in them about their own feelings but still keeping subtly rude. Monique will not get along with lazy villagers due to them not caring about their appearance or the lazy villagers hating what she eats, and she won't get along with jock villagers because they will question her on her physical appearance and they won't worry about fashion. However, she will get along with cranky villagers due to their similar rude personalities, and usually normal villagers as well.

House[]

Monique's house is decorated with the Lovely series, having almost every object except for the Lovely Loveseat; she instead has the Cream Sofa. She has the Ceramic Tile as her flooring, and the Groovy Wall as her wallpaper. She does not initially own a stereo, but if she obtains one, it will play K.K. Swing.

In New Leaf, Monique still owns a few items from the Lovely series, such as the lamp, the bed, the table, and the vanity. She also owns the dresser and the sofa from the Regal series. She has an Upright Piano in the bottom left side of her room, as well as a Pink Velvet Stool. She owns one plant: the Lady palm, and has a Flower Table next to it. On top of her Lovely Table, she has a Record Player, which plays K.K. Swing. Monique has the Rose Wall as her wallpaper, and the Green Rug as her flooring.
