Monica Geller

Character: Monica Geller
Friend Type: The fussy one
Occupation: Chef

Monica, apart from being Ross' little sister, was Rachel's best friend at high school, and at one time Phoebe, who she met at college, was her roommate. Her biggest fault is that she is just so fussy about neatness and keeping her life in order - the main thing that drove Phoebe to leave... (eventually) - and is normally the voice of reason to be heard among the gang. When we first encountered Monica, she was working as assistant chef in a rather smart down-town restaurant and since then has been through a number of chefing jobs, including working at the Moondance Diner, before being given a restaurant by her then millionaire boyfriend Pete. As for her troubled love-life - she seems to attract a real variety of men - including a jail-bait, one of her father's friends and, of course, Pete the millionaire! She's had to put up with Ross being the family favourite, and suffering from a weight problem as she grew up.
