"If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?" ― Mo quoting The Merchant of Venice[source]
Monique Stephani[1] Moore, better known as Mo, is the main antagonist of the third season of All American. She has been described as a mysterious character moving back to South L.A.[2] She is portrayed by Erica Peeples.
History[]
In "Who Shot Ya", Paster Weeks mentioned Tyrone and his older sister Monique used to talk nonstop about their hopes and dreams during his funeral.
In "Decisions", Mo visits Preach in prison. She's in town to investigate Tyrone's death. Preach points out that Ruth Scott is already in custody, but Mo argues that she didn't take him down alone. Preach reminds her that she left this life a long time ago and that they both know how it's going to end.
In "Seasons Pass", Mo finds Coop and tells her she wants to make amends. When she first came to town, she was hellbent on revenge, but over the summer, she started digging. She regrets leaving her brother behind to save herself. Mo went to Laura to gather information to help get Preach released from jail. She points out that his first charge was for marijuana possession years ago, but since it's legal now, she had the charge overturned. This means his current charge would be his second, not his third. Mo wants to keep making amends.
She was 30 at the time of her death.[1]
In season 7, Amina finally reveals that Mo was a famous defense attorney from Philadelphia that successfully repealed the three-strikes law in Pennsylvania. She still keeps a book with her articles and pictures of them together.
In Squabble Up, Yasi, as Homecoming King, finds out that Monique was also a Homecoming Queen, when Amina also became Homecoming Queen along with becoming Student Council President.
