Monica

Mônica is the main protagonist of the Brazilian comic book series Turma da Mônica (also known as Monica's Gang or Monica and Friends in the English translations), created by Mauricio de Sousa.

Why She Rocks

 * 1) She is a leader among the children in the neighborhood where she lives.
 * 2) She has a wide variety of friends, ranging from children to animals, aliens, cavemen and even dinosaurs.
 * 3) She is responsible for maintaining peace in the neighborhood, preventing the boys from causing problems or fights.
 * 4) Has an impressive super-strength, which can often be compared to even superheroes like Superman.
 * 5) She has a unique, cute, and iconic design. Her rabbit has even been so popular that she is unable to be seen without it.
 * 6) She is brave and often uses her super strength to defeat villains and criminals.
 * 7) She always helps her friends when they need her.
 * 8) As her popularity goes on and on, she not only has her own comic book, but also appears in cartoons, video games, films, clothing and various other types of merchandising.
 * 9) She was based on the daughter of the creator himself, Mauricio de Sousa.
 * 10) Originally she was a supporting character for Cebolinha, but she managed to prove her charisma by becoming popular in TV commercials in the late 1960s to the point of becoming the main protagonist from the 1970s onwards.
 * 11) She sometimes regrets when she smacks Jimmy Five and Smudge, that's more notable in the live-action movie "Turma da Mônica: Laços".

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Sometimes she is very bossy and rude to the boys, especially Cebolinha, taking advantage of her super strength.
 * 2) In her debut in the Cebolinha comic strip in 1963 she was very mean and unlikeable.
 * 3) The character may look very similar to Little Lulu.
 * 4) Sometimes she is very obsessive about cute boys and dating.
 * 5) She is a bit arrogant and sarcastic in some episodes/comics.
 * 6) In the 90s stories, she is seen doing tantrum.
 * 7) In some old stories (more notable in 80s and 90s stories and the episode "Como Atravessar a Sala"), she is seen FULLY naked showing her butt and sometimes topless (or bottomless) with her panties or when she's using a bikini (or an one-piece, depending of the story), same thing with Maggy.
