Worn like a badge of honor, Mona can be found stuck onto laptops, displayed proudly as a figurine on a workspace, and even tattooed on a few of her biggest fans around the globe. She’s our GitHub mascot and developer avatar. Happy 15th to you, Mona.

Why is Mona called Mona? Good question, here's her origin story, dreamt up by the 7 year old daughter of a GitHub developer.

Text says, Once upon a time, there was a cat who’s name was Monalisa. Monalisa and her owner went to the beach. When Monalisa got to the beach, her owner Kelly gave her goggles so Monalisa could swim and see what was in the ocean. When Monalisa went in the water she found lots of fish. When Monalisa was swimming she was so exited she opened her mouth and swouloed a coral that made you grow legs like a octapus but keep your normal face. So Monalisa grew legs and became Mrs. Monalisa octocat. [sic]
