Monika (DDLC)

Monika is a character from Doki Doki Literature Club!.

Monika is the President of the Literature Club, being one of the five members of club along with, Sayori, Yuri, and Natsuki. She was described as smart, confident, and athletic. She was originally a member of the Debate Club, but left because of the inner politics and drama, which led her to form the literature club.

However, Monika underwent an epiphany which made her discover that she was a character in a game and that all of her fellow club members were programed to be love interests of the protagonist. She also gained the ability to edit the game's variables, allowing her to edit the personalities of her clubmates. Her alterations backfired when both Sayori and Yuri were driven to suicide, in which she deleted both their files and then deleted Natsuki's after.

In Act 3, it is revealed that Monika wasn't after the protagonist, she was actually in love with the player, the person playing the game, making her self-awareness clear. Her actions and behavior make it obvious that she's actually sad and lonely, knowing that she can't achieve what is considered "true happiness". She is fixated on obtaining the love of the player because she sees the player as the only "real" thing in her life. It is also revealed that she ends up enduring torture when someone quits the game, as when this happens she is trapped in a hellish void of noise, lights, colors, and screams, unable to move or even think (sensory deprivation).
