Monique (20s) is a resident of Ms. Lee's halfway house as part of her work release agreement for serving 2 years for a misdemeanor drug possession charge.

Synnamon (20s) is another of Miss LaRue's happy employees. Spending most of her life on the dangerous Chicago streets, she is best described as a sexy femme that's rough around the edges. Her experiences require that she has special training from Miss LaRue.

Sapphyre (20s-30s) is another one of Miss LaRue's happy employees at Club X-Otica. Usually available during V.I.P. occasions, it takes a LARGE amount of time, money, and energy to keep her happy. Understandable, since the hard work pays off in more ways than one.
