Monica wishes [[Nana]], [[Damon]] and her cousin [[Micah]] before going to work. Just before she leaves, she sees a television program about cutting tomato roses. At [[Burger Bonanza]], she talks with [[Camille]] about her frustrations with home and work. As she talks, she absentmindedly cuts a tomato rose, just as she'd seen the [[cooking show host]] do earlier. At home for dinner, Monica sees that Damon is watching the wrestling match Micah rigged to watch. She witnesses a [[wrestler]] perform a kicking move before heading back to work to close up. Back at the restaurant, Monica tries to lock the front door, but a [[Burger Bonanza robber|man]] forces his way in and draws a gun on her. As the man robs the cash register, Monica performs a stunning spinning kick--[[Adoptive muscle memory|an exact copy of the move]] she witnessed the wrestler perform on television--and sends the robber through a glass partition. |

Monica finds Micah playing the piano and sits down next to him. She mimics Micah's piano-playing and begins to play the same song, not realizing she is doing so until Micah points it out. Because of her surprise at this, Micah realizes that she is a [[Adoptive muscle memory|muscle mimic]] like a female crimefighter in the ''[[9th Wonders!]]'' comic named [[St. Joan]]. He tells her so, also revealing his own [[technopathy|ability]] and [[Phasing|that]] of his [[D.L. Hawkins|father]]. The two go out to test her ability and agree to keep it a secret between the two of them. After they return, Monica answers a knock at the door and finds [[Mohinder]] standing on the other side. |

Mohinder tests Monica's ability at [[The Company|the Company's]] hospital. At the instruction of [[Bob]], Mohinder comes up to Monica with a syringe with the new variant of the [[Shanti virus]], telling Monica it's standard procedure. Mohinder decides against it and leaves the room. Later, Bob brings Monica to her home and give her a cover story for her absence, a list of contact information and a [[Monica's iPod|video iPod]] with footage of many different physical skills for her to learn using her ability. |

After [[Damon|her brother]] gets [[Micah]]'s backpack, along with his comics and [[D.L. Hawkins|his father's]] [[D.L.'s medal of valor|medal]], stolen, Monica tells Micah she knows where the boy who stole the backpack lives and takes Micah there. Disguising herself in a black hood, Monica watches a video of [[wikipedia:parkour|parkour]] on the iPod Bob gave her, then breaks into the deserted house and easily finds Micah's things. However, a group of arsonists enter the house, capture her, and throw her in the back of a van. She is taken to an [[Duzac's Diner|abandoned building]] and tied up. The arsonist starts spreading gasoline all over the floor while Monica manages to get her phone out of her pocket and turned on. Using Micah and his [[technopathy|ability]], [[Niki]] is able to track Monica's cell phone and find her. She enters the burning building, unties Monica, and helps her escape before the building explodes with Niki in it. |

Evolved Human Abilities
Monica has the ability of adoptive muscle memory which allows her to perfectly replicate, without practice, any physical motion that she has witnessed; either in person or by watching it on television. She is a copycat, able to replicate motions without active concentration, as shown when she absent mindedly cuts a tomato into an intricate rose. When watching a move performed, she goes into a short trance-like state as she memorizes the movement.
Memorable Quotes
"It's all about attitude, Camille."
"What's about attitude?"

Notes
- In a CBR Q&A session, Joe Pokaski and Aron Coleite elaborated on Monica's powers. "Monica can only do things within her physical limit. Now as an athletic 20-year-old girl, there are a lot of things within her limit. But, no--if she saw Nathan fly, she couldn't fly."
- On the prisoner manifest list, Monica's last name is misspelled "Dawsom".
- Though she only appears in Season Two, Monica (along with Nana) technically does appear in Season Three in A Clear and Present Danger as one of the hooded prisoners. Though she'd be portrayed by an extra.

While Damon and Nana were held captive at Building 26 and were freed by Rebel, Monica's location remained a mystery and they had to resort to recruiting Molly Walker to find her. Thanks to Molly, Micah and his friends found and rescued her as a Building 26 doctor was about to experiment on her for an unknown reason.
