Monica "Buns" Sondergaard is a mercenary hirable from A.I.M. and has appeared in Jagged Alliance 2 onwards.
Official description[]
"The prim and proper Monica Sonderguard may seem to be an unlikely candidate for the rough and tumble mercenary life, but she more than meets the minimum requirements. Before settling on A.I.M., Buns explored a number of careers: kindergarten teacher, geriatric nurse, Danish sharpshooter at the Atlanta Olympic Games, and professional soldier."
Jagged Alliance 3:
"A woman whose skills extend far beyond just firearms and medicine, Monica's resume reads like she's applying for a lifetime achievement award. She recently produced a series of instructional videos called "Be Better" where she teaches the viewer the best ways to home school, perform CPR, shoot automatic weapons, maintain cardiovascular health and lift yourself out of depression through rigorous self-improvement.
Although many wonder what she could possibly want from the mercenary life, most fellow A.I.M. members appreciate her expertise and thorough - if priggish - tutoring style."

Notes[]
- A prim and proper prude, her uprightness goes hand-in-hand with her professionalism and skill.
- Believes herself better than anyone else.
- Has a sense of superiority. She's a merc because she wants to, not because she has to.
- Puts her feelings before logic.
- Speaks with a stereotyped German accent despite being Danish.
- Southern Denmark borders Germany and has an oddly mixed dialect of both in certain places, which may explain her accent. Her last name Søndergård may be a reference to this area, as it means Southern-farm.
