Mona and Ishtar/Rin have a lot of similarities, so I'm surprised we didn't get something like this sooner. They're proud and confident women that have various troubles in regards to money, they can be pretty haughty and easily flustered, but they're also strong and will have your back in a time of need.
Plus well the obvious visual elements of black hair and twin-tails, a slender figure with medium/small breasts (depending on the artist, but they're usually about the same), and an ass that many appreciate haha

Most of the things Mona has in common with Ishtar are because of Rin. If she didn't have to use a vessel to manifest in the singularity then she'd be blonde just like Ereshkigal and Gil. Admittedly my knowledge of Ishtar is limited to the Babylonia anime, but I think her thriftiness is also thanks to Rin. I have a feeling that if it wasn't for Rin's self-restraint then she'd be flush with cash by milking the people for all their worth.
Plus, if this image was of regular Rin then another thing they'd have in common would be blue eyes.

From what I know kind of a bit of yes and no. The black hair is from Rin and it's Rin's body for the host of course. Personality wise from what I understand it's Ishtar as the dominant one, but Rin is also the host because of personality similarities and compatibility factor. Ishtar might be a bit more thrifty than Rin as you said, but according to a line of Caster Gilgamesh's in game Rin also improved a part of Ishtar, what the line references is a spoiler with Rin's childhood so I'll use the tags Oh-ho. This Ishtar looks a little smarter. Without her father to cling too, she's become a self-reliant goddess... Hmph. The will of a girl who lost her father early was able to fix that useless goddess. Fate is certainly well woven.
So I think the similarities are in part because of Rin, but also in part because of Ishtar, and that's why I think a bit of yes and no. Ishtar would be a bit different if say Taiga Fujimura was the host, but Taiga also likely wouldn't be a compatible host for Ishtar like Rin is. Plus regardless my point is just that this version of Ishtar with Rin is at least very similar to Mona. So I think we more or less agree, just slightly differ haha
