Monica Ann Sterling
I can do most anything a man can do
I can hold my liquor with the best of you
Even take your money in a game of pool
Yeah, I'd kick your butt if I wanted to
I don't mind when people cuss in front of me
Truth is I don't blush that much at anything
But I still got this little girl inside of me
That likes to be treated like a queen

At work, it's all business, while at the station Monica prefers to wear mostly suits.

And on rare instances, you may see her dressed in a more sexier attire. Rare instances include mostly just dates and sometimes while undercover working on a case
Face Claim: Kristanna Loken
Abilities: Trained in Fire Arms, and various styles of Martial Arts.
Personality:
Monica comes off to most as bitch, for lack of a better word. But really she isn't a bad person once you get to know her, she's just very strong minded, and she speaks that mind. She may go off at the mouth sometimes, especially when someone angers her.
Monica is a loner, she prefers to work alone and do things herself, you will rarely see her ask -anyone- for help, even if she really needs it. And if someone does help, she kinda becomes bitter to wards that person. But deep down she does appreciate them helping her.Her main thing is that she doesn't want to appear weak, and just wants the respect. She wants to prove that women could anything a man can do and then some.
Monica can come off to be a little cocky at times, sometimes cracking wise cracks, most of this is just a show... More of away to hide the fear she is feeling.
Monica is somewhat of a workaholic, she enjoys her job and takes it very seriously. This of course can make her very hard to work with, not to mention the way she can act just sheer impulse alone.
Likes:
• Men
• Having a beer from time to time
• Fast cars
• Catching the bad guy or girl
• Getting on up on a fellow officer, especially if that officer is a man.
• Car and foot chases, just the fact she is just that close to getting a terrible person off the streets again
• She enjoys a nice tumble or two, weather it's a fight or a nice night.
Dislikes:
• Arrogance, which seems odd, because she seems a bit arrogant herself.
• Being treated differently because she's a woman, she feels anything a man could do, she could do.
• Although the poor guy may mean well, she's not to fond of acts of chivalry, she kinda takes it as making her out to be the poor defenseless woman, something she's not
• Anyone that is out to hurt the innocent.
• Appearing weak, she feels that it is unacceptable to show any signs of weakness, especially if she wants to make it in the field she is in or gain the respect from the other male officers.
Strengths:
• Monica is what some would say an independent woman, she has worked hard to achieve all she has done in life mostly on her own, which gives her high self-esteem of herself. She doesn't let anyone walk all over her,(especially men.) although some have tried, they have learned real quick, how much of a mistake that was.
• Monica has been trained in various types of martial arts, most of this she learned while the academy, but some also from her father much earlier.
• Monica seems to be a pretty good shot, she has a lot of practice over the years, again most has been learn from her father and in the academy.
• Very witty and one to come back at someone with a snappy come back.
Weaknesses:
•Monica has a tough exterior, but a soft interior. A side of her that most almost never see, she sees sowing and softness is a sign of weakness, and she doesn't want to appear weak. This usually causes her to not open up to others so much, especially her friends.
•Monica is a loner, she feels she can handle all most anything herself and prefers to do so. She has never worked with a partner of the field for this reason, and she has never called for back up. Of course this action is very dangerous, and if not careful can get her into a lot of trouble.
•Monica acts on impulse, so she really doesn't think before she acts, weather it's going off after a criminal on her own with no back up, or shooting off at the mouth at some random stranger, or even landing in a few fights with both male and female.
•Her attitude seems standoffish most of the time, and she can be a real b-i-t-c-h, which makes it hard for her to make friends, like she really needs them- Of course she does.
Mother: Vanessa Sterling
Father: Timothy Sterling
Siblings: Brother- Ryan Sterling/ Sister- Melissa Sterling
Others: N/A
Bio:
Monica was raised in a simple home with her older brother and younger sister. Her father was a homicide detective and her mother was a prosecutor. So one could say that she was raised in a law abiding home. She only wished the town she lived in was just as law abiding. Every night she would hear nothing, but about who murdered who, who got raped, who's shop got broken into..By the time she was old enough to do anything about it, she was fed up and decided to go into the police academy..
Her brother had just graduated from the academy and was working as a cop himself. She looked up to her brother, at first they seemed very close, but it seemed apparent that Ryan was her father's favorite. Her father took care of everything for her older brother, the old man was so proud to see his son become a cop. But when Monica said she wanted to join the academy. Well the old guy didn't seemed please. He would tell her to go to law school like her baby sister Melissa was doing.
Monica really didn't see what was the difference, either way she would be putting criminals behind bars. But be a prosecutor was just a -little- safer than being a cop. Not much safer, but safer according to her dad. But Monica wanted to excitement of the chase, she wanted to chase the bastards down herself. How much fun would it be to sit behind the desk. So against her fathers wishes she joined the academy. She was going to show him, she could be just as good as Ryan, if not better.
She graduated with honors from the academy and was on the .LA. force in no time..She of course had to work her way up, working on odd ball cases here and there.. But as years went on, she worked her way up to detective..Now she was the one investigating the cases, going on steak outs, finding the evidence.. Now she could finally do something about the problem. But it still seemed what ever she did wasn't enough. All she wanted was her fathers approval, respect... It seemed that even as she worked her way up to Homicide, it Still wasn't good enough. Ryan was working for the F.B.I . It seemed the two would be competing like this forever.
RP Sample:
It had been awhile since Monica had been on a date, which was unusual for her, usually men were falling out of trees to ask her for a date. She had just been so wrapped up in her work, that she didn't even think about her own needs. So when a female co-worker mentioned this guy she knew, Monica jumped on the chance, well not really jump, just said what the heck.
Now there she was sitting at the table staring at this overly full of himself man, to rich for his own good,thinking he's better than everyone else, talking on and on about himself, and some more about himself..
Monica was resting her chin in her hand with her elbow on the table. If this man mentioned how rich he was one more time she was going to puke. She had almost began to yawn, when she caught herself. Finally, when she saw a opening, she spoke up before the man could get another word in..
"Um, would you excuse me please, I have to go to the ladies room.." She elegantly got up from her seat and smiled, the man smiled back and nodded.."Don't go anywhere.." She said with a fake smile, then turned and rolled her eyes..
The detective quickly made her way to the back of the restaurant, stopping right next to the bathrooms, then leaned her back onto the wall, she just needed to get away from the guy for just a minute or two. After a few moments, she finally took a deep breath, then made her way back over to the table. It was a good thing to, cause their food had just been sat down, maybe he would shut up long enough to eat...Monica pulled her chair out and sat down..
"Mmmm." Monica said smiling at the waitress, then turned her head to wards her date. He was poking his steak with a disgusted look on his face. Before the waitress could leave, the man grabbed her arm and pulled her down to wards his plate of food..
"Does that look medium rare to you!" It was apparent he wasn't very happy. And the waitress knew this, Monica could see the fear in the poor girls face. The poor woman shook her head, almost ready to cry. Monica just stared in dis-belief. Her date was actually squeezing the poor girls arm very hard. Finally the man took his plate and threw it on the floor. "Clean it up and bring me another one.."
That was just about all the detective could take."You know what, I just lost my appetite.." Monica said, taking the napkin and throwing it on the table. She glared at her date then got up from the table and helped the girl clean up her mess. "Don't you give this a*sho*e anything.." The waitress nodded and smiled and ran off with the dishes..
Monica finally stood and moved past the man to leave.. But she didn't get far,Her date stood from his seat and grabbed her arm as he had done the waitress.. "Where are you going? Sit and eat!"
Monica's eyes looked down at the man hand on her arm, his grasp actually did hurt..She took a deep breath..."Let go of my arm!!" She said in a very stern tone...If this jerk thought he was going to order her around, he had another thing coming. She only gave the guy a few seconds to respond, before placing her free hand on the creeps shoulder, then lifted her knee into his groin.The man fell to the ground instantly. Monica couldn't help but smile at the curled up figure on the floor. "You make me sick.."She finally said stepping over the creep and walked away.
