**Monitor Kernal Access**, better known as **Monika**, is the main antagonist of the 2017 visual novel *Doki Doki Literature Club!*, serving as the overarching antagonist of Act 1, the overarching-turned-final antagonist of Act 2, the main antagonist of Act 3 and the deuteragonist of Act 4.

She is the best friend of Sayori, Yuri, and Natsuki. She is also the player's former girlfriend and now arch-nemesis. She is also the titular club's president and she also has an unnamed sister who never appears in the game. Initially, it was unknown if Monika was lying, or if she actually had a sister. However, Monika's sister was later revealed in a fanart, and was given the name "Shiori".

## His Evil Ranking

### What Makes Her Villainous?

* She messed with her games code, and went out of her way to make the other girls unlikeable, such as making Sayori depressed, Yuri cutting herself, and later making Yuri into a borderline villain in act 2, as she made her into a yandere.
* She drove Sayori into hanging herself. She even made a remark, telling the MC that he "left her hanging this morning". In act 2, she got rid of her file, and basically made everyone forget about Sayori entirely, as if she never existed.
* She messed with the games code so much, that it made the game (and basically universe) really unstable in Act 2, even if it wasn’t on purpose.
* She drives Yuri so insane, that after Yuri confesses her love to MC, she stabs herself to death, and Yuri spends the entire weekend bleeding out and dying, muttering glitched text.
* She deleted Natsuki once she was the only one left.
* It is implied that she made Natsuki’s father abusive.
* Once her files are deleted, she at first goes into an angry rant at the player, furious at her being deleted, despite all she did.

### What Makes Her Irresistible?

* She was once happy, warm-hearted and loving, until she then realised her life was a video game. This drove her into desperation to escape, as she didn’t like how everything she ever knew was a lie. It tormented her way too much, and makes her actions understandable.
* She genuinely did care about Sayori, Yuri and Natsuki. She was even genuinely nice to them in the DDLC+ side stories, even going out of her way to support Natsuki’s love for manga after realising how much flack Natsuki faced for loving manga, and feeling bad for judging her at first. Also, she didn’t actually delete their files. Even though she killed them, she did care about them even if they weren’t real, because they were her friends, and couldn’t bring herself to properly delete them. She never showed any sadism in what she did, as it was all out of desperation.
* She genuinely is in love with the player, and apologises in the end after going on her rant towards them after being deleting, feeling remorse for how she acted. Even afterwards, in the true ending, she saves the player from Sayori.
* She is genuinely affable towards the player, and her friends as well.
* She redeems herself at the end of the third act after she is deleted, telling the players how to restore the files, and if the player tries to restore her, she tells them not to, as she feels she doesn’t deserve it.
* When the player completes the game, she sings a popular song called "Your Reality". Despite the song being a villain song, it is very catchy.
