'''Montressa du Valeross, '''also known as''' Mons, '''is a noble from [[Terandria]] and a former student at [[Wistram Academy|Wistram]]. Currently, she is serving as Archmage [[Valeterisa|Valeterisa's]] apprentice and assistant.<ref name=":0">[[Interlude – Conversations|Interlude- Conversations]]</ref>

== Appearance ==
She has long bright red hair, hanging in a loose ponytail and bright pale saffron-topaz pupils eyes.

== Personality ==
When first arriving to Wistram, Montressa was a nervous, but cheerful young woman. As she progressed in her studies, she became more confident in herself. She has a great love for magic and admires great feats made by it.

Though she initially liked Pisces and didn't think it was fair that necromancy was banned, she was traumatized when Pisces accidently unleashed Archmage Nekhret's undead onto Wistram. As such, she came to believe that Pisces was evil and developed a phobia for undead. Though she was obsessed with bringing Pisces to justice, she was able to let go of her hatred after he and the [[Horns of Hammerad]] saved everyone from the [[Crelers|Adult Creler]].<ref>[[Chapter 6.66 H]]</ref> 

After Montressa is expelled from Wistram for lying to Archmage [[Nailihuaile]], compounded with the (presumed) loss of the Horns of Hammerad, she falls into a great depression, turning to alcoholism, and neglecting her magical studies.<ref>[[Chapter 8.16]]</ref> However, she is able to get out of her funk, and successfully convince Archmage Valeterisa to let her become her apprentice.<ref>[[Interlude – Conversations|Interlude - Conversations]]</ref>
