Monika was intended to present as a faux semi-serious guide character through 'writing tips of the day' and occasionally breaking the fourth wall. In a livestream celebrating the first anniversary of the game's release, Dan Salvato explained his design choices regarding Monika. However, Act 4 suggests that this is not specifically a trait of Monika's but a side-effect of being the president of the Literature Club. Monika is the only character who knows that she and her peers are fictitious, programmed entities in a game and uses this knowledge to her advantage to get closer to the player. At the end of Act 2, she pokes fun at this archetype, calling Yuri a yandere instead. She is the only one of the four heroines not designed to fall into a character archetype commonly found in the visual novel genre, but many have interpreted her to be a yandere character, an archetype of someone who will do anything to be with their love interest, including murder. She's a very philosophical individual, writing poems with deep allegorical content and discussing many topics beyond superficiality in Act 3. Monika is an outwardly sweet character who cares about the well-being of her friends, but as the game progresses begins to favor the main character over the rest. Like Yuri and Natsuki, Monika has a pair of hair intakes (a hairstyle in which there are arches on top of a characterвЂ™s head resembling cat ears or car hoods). She is also the only girl who has a realistic hair color. Monika's sprites in-game are also the only ones to face the screen directly instead of at a three-fourths angle. Her shoes are tipped in pink instead of blue, and her stockings are black instead of white and longer than those of the rest of the cast.

Monika's uniform differs from those of the other girls in a few ways, reinforcing the theme of her being out of place.
