## Snapshot

The dark-eyed daughter of Manda, she meets the surface stranger with a look of sympathy that crosses the gulf between two worlds in a single glance.

## Who they are

Mona is the only daughter of Manda, one of the leaders of the underwater people, and from the first meeting Headley reads in her eyes a message of understanding that goes straight to his heart. She is the story's quiet emotional center, a figure whose beauty and dignity stand against the cold strangeness of her city. Her connection to Headley gives the expedition something more than scientific wonder to hold onto as it goes deeper.
