The physical appearance of Monika went through several designs, one of which featured a chibi effect. The inspiration for the character's creation extends Salvato's concept of an innocuous romance game that slowly falls apart over time as horrible things begin to happen and one girl takes control. She is apparently deleted at the end of the game, but returns to destroy the game itself.
While Monika initially appears as the main tutor and supporting character that guides the player on their path to romance the three provided love interests, after being revealed to be a computer program that gained sentience, her words, actions and surroundings become increasingly malicious as she makes her intentions clear. The character was created by Dan Salvato and voiced by Jillian Ashcraft.
