Big Damn Heroes: Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work, actually, but in the main ending after Monika has been deleted, Sayori proceeds to undergo the same Go Mad from the Revelation situation that Monika did as Club President and is about to start doing the same things.
Big Bad: Her self-awareness as a video game character and her Yandere attachment to the player (not the protagonist, the player) is the cause of all the casts' problems not caused by preceding psychological issues.
Since she's behind it all, she's probably making sure she's still appealing to the player. She's the one character who manages to avoid the creepy faces and glitchiness the most throughout Act 2.
Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Likely invoked.
If you don't delete her character file after her Hostile Show Takeover, she'll just happily ramble on endlessly and gloat about her victory, and you can leave the game in this state permanently.
The Bad Guy Wins: Entirely contingent on the player's choice.
Likewise, as Medium Awareness seems tied to the Literature Club hierarchy (as Sayori gains Medium Awareness upon becoming president), the file created upon obtaining the Downer Ending is Monika officially disbanding the club.
The Atoner: Deleting her during your extended conversation with her causes her to have a Heel Realization, and undelete the other girls.
Monika: Is it love if I take you, or is it love if I set you free. This is best evidenced in her character song: After you delete her, she realizes that she's been doing it all wrong and bows out so that you can be with one of the other girls.
Ddlc doki doki just monika club how to#
She just doesn't know how to express it properly.
Anti-Villain: She really truly does love you, the player.
She'll even complain about this the first few times you quit the game after her takeover, but she eventually adjusts to it since she wouldn't want you to waste all your time on the game in Real Life.
And I Must Scream: In Act 3, one of her conversations has her explain that she's still conscious even when the game isn't running, and where she goes when it isn't is.not pretty.
Ambiguous Disorder: Under the influence of the position of Club President, Monika, and later Sayori, exhibits symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder: Arrogance, a need for excessive validation, Lack of Empathy, Enviousness, and a hyper-sensitivity to criticism.
It's unclear whether she's assuming your gender based on the player character being male or you being the kind of person who'd play a dating sim, or if it's for simplicity's sake. The ambiguity comes in when she generally refers to you using masculine pronouns and terms.
Ambiguously Bi: She notes in Act 3 that she honestly doesn't know your gender, but she still considers herself your girlfriend anyways.
If you get the normal ending, Monika is still around enough to stop Sayori from doing something similar, then deletes the game during the end credits and leaves a note saying that the club is disbanded permanently. However, she can't come to hate the player after all and admits that she could bring back the other girls so that you could play the game without her.
Alas, Poor Villain: When the player deletes her file in Act 3, her first reaction is to act horrified, then angrily berate the player for doing so when she realizes what's happening.
Ultimately, she's just a girl who's seen things she shouldn't have seen and has Gone Mad from the Revelation. She gets horrified when the player decides to delete her, even revealing that she didn't delete the others entirely and puts them back for you. While she's later revealed to be a meta-aware yandere who will Mind Rape and delete her friends if it means getting closer to the player, she keeps her polite appearance even after she's the only girl left. The worst you can say about her is that she occasionally has trouble wrangling her clubmates when they argue. She even offers you some genuinely good advice from time to time and sincerely opens up to you, as any good girlfriend would. She really is that friendly, and she really, truly means it when she says that she loves you and that she wants to make you happy.
Affably Evil: Uniquely for a Yandere, nothing about Monika's apparent kindness and politeness is an act.
That said, she does use a Japanese-style spelling instead of the English standard (Monika instead of Monica).
Aerith and Bob: Out of all the girls, she is the only one with a name that isn't explicitly Japanese and doesn't end with an "i".
