monika [on your computer]

Monika (モニカ - meaning "tutor" or "advisor") is the cover girl and main antagonist of Doki Doki Literature Club! and Doki Doki Literature Club Plus!. She is the founder and president of the literature club. Poems cannot be written for her until the end of the game.

Monika is a teenage girl with light coral-brown hair and emerald-green eyes, which she keeps tied back in a ponytail with a large white bow. She also has two long strands of hair framing her face.

She wears the typical school uniform, which consists of a gray blazer, a white shirt, a brown sweater, and a red ribbon at the collar of her shirt. She also wears a dark blue skirt, long black stockings—which contrast with the shorter, white stockings of the other girls—and white and pink uwabaki shoes.

Monika is considered by others to be intelligent, beautiful, confident, and athletic. She doesn't speak as much as the other girls, but it's implied that this isn't by choice, but rather by her role in the game.

Monika was previously part of the Debate Club but left due to its politics and drama, highlighting her desire for order, freedom of choice of topics, and friendships. The Literature Club, which she created after leaving the Debate Club, is very important to Monika. She aspires for it to be a place to showcase and help others grow their passion for literature. Monika openly demonstrates her care for her fellow club members, complimenting their writing styles and even comparing them to famous writers and poets.

Despite Monika's upbeat personality in the club, it becomes increasingly obvious that she feels truly sad and lonely, as a result of knowing that her entire world is just a simulation; one in which she can't even achieve what is considered "happiness" (the player completing their route). She becomes so obsessed with the player as they are the only "real" thing in her life. It also doesn't help that, the moment the game is exited, Monika is trapped in a "hellish void of noise, lights, colors, and screams," and despite being unable to form coherent thoughts at the time, she remembers everything when the player reopens the game.

Monika also exhibits some hypocrisy by designating Yuri as the archetypal "yandere" personality despite displaying the common actions of a yandere, which are removing her competition by any means necessary and forcing the player into a situation where they cannot refuse to be intentionally held captive by Monika until the end of their existence. What separates Monika from being a yandere is her acceptance of being rejected and allowing the player to live without her and with the possibility of having a relationship with someone.

At the beginning of the game, Monika is presented as an optimistic and cheerful girl, who occasionally gives the player writing advice. However, beginning in Act 2, this personality warps, and she reveals a more manipulative personality.

Although there were indications through certain conversations that Monika knew she was a character (such as the fact that she broke the fourth wall on several occasions), it is only in Act 2 that this characteristic begins to gain strength, as she does not want to have a minor role and tries to get the protagonist's attention.

However, this desire begins to turn into an obsession, and she begins trying to get rid of the other members of the club so that the player is forced to choose her. Her desire to not be alone makes her obsessed with achieving this goal, highlighted by the fact that all of her poems are about the player or his epiphany.

Eventually, Monika gets rid of all the club members and "locks" the player along with her in a room, where the player will be able to read Monika's conversation in which she speaks directly to the player, instead of the Protagonist.

During the course of the game, it is revealed that Monika is aware that she is a character, as a result of her position as leader/president of the Literature Club.

Monika is purposely designed to seem suspiciously out of place from the very moment the menu is introduced.
The main characters wear white stockings up to just above the knees except for Monika who wears black stockings above the knees.
Every girl except Monika wears white and blue uwabaki shoes; Monika's are white and pink.
Every girl except Monika has an unreal hair color (this can only be a coincidence).
Each girl's sprite is slightly turned to the side, except for Monika's, which looks directly at the screen, with the exception of two.
The girls' names end with an "i", except for Monika.
Monika is the only character in the game to have an official voice.
The only times her voice is used are when you stop reading the special poem (laughs at) "CAN YOU HEAR ME?" and she sings "Your Reality" during the credits.
Monika has a Twitter account with the nickname lilmonix3.
Monika's favorite color is emerald green because she feels a "special connection" with the color of her eyes, serving as part of her personality, a reference to being "green with envy".
Monika can find out personal information about the user, including their Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube usernames (as well as other social media accounts) if these are open while playing. This will only happen during conversations with Monika.
If you keep any social network open, there is a possibility of receiving a message request from Monika with the name of your respective computer and a sequence of seemingly random letters.
Monika is a vegetarian because she wants to help reduce the planet's carbon footprint, which is usually caused by meat factories and other industrial markets.
Monika's version of "Ok, Everyone" ("Ok, everyone") is played only on piano, which is appropriate for her since she plays the piano.
Monika said she has no knowledge

Sometimes, when you're writing a poem—or a story—you get stuck on a specific point. If you try too hard to make it perfect, you won't make any progress. Just force yourself to write something on paper, and you can polish it later! Another way to think about it is this: if you keep your pen in the same place for too long, you'll just end up with a big puddle of ink. So just move your hand and go with the flow!
"Sometimes you'll face a tough decision... When that happens, don't forget to save your game! You never know when you might change your mind... or when something unexpected might happen! Wait... Is this a writing tip? What am I talking about? Haha! ...That's my advice for today! Thanks for listening~"
"Sometimes you'll face a tough decision... When that happens, don't forget to save the game! You never know when... Uhm... Who am I talking to? Can you hear me? Say you can hear me. Anything. Please help me. ...That's my advice for today! Thanks for listening~"
"Sometimes when I talk to people who are impressed by my writing, they say things like, 'I could never do that.' It's pretty depressing, you know? As someone who loves sharing the joy of exploring your passions more than anything... It hurts when people think being good just comes out of nowhere. That's true with everything, not just writing. When you try something for the first time, you're probably going to be pretty bad at it. Sometimes, when you finish, you feel really proud of it and even want to share it with others. But maybe after a few weeks, you go back and realize it was never really that good. That happens to me all the time. It can be quite disheartening to put so much effort into something and then realize it's bad. But that usually happens when you compare yourself to the best professionals. When you try to reach for the stars, they'll always be out of your reach, you know? The truth is, you have to climb there one step at a time."
