Trivia

• It's important to understand that Monika's origin game, Doki Doki Literature Club!, is also the inspiration for Saiko Bichitaru from SMG4.
• Her personality is similar to that of a kamidere.
  • If you get deeper into the game, you'll notice that the rest of the female characters have anime-style personalities. Yuri is a yandere, Sayori is a deredere, and Natsuki is a tsundere. All four of these traits are somewhat reflected in Saiko.
• Monika is purposefully designed to be suspiciously out of place from the very moment the menu screen is introduced:
  • Every girl wears white knee-highs except for Monika, who wears black thigh-highs.
  • Every girl except Monika wears white and blue shoes, but Monika's are white and pink.
    • Furthermore on these two points, Monika is positioned so close on the Title Screen that her legs up to the black thigh-highs don't even make it into the frame and cannot be seen at all, hiding her differences at first. This could be a form of foreshadowing.
  • Every girls' name except Monika's ends with an "i" and is explicitly the rōmaji anglicization of transcriptions originating in the Japanese language.
  • Every girls' sprites except one of Monika's have them facing slightly side-on. Monika's primarily used sprite has her looking directly frontward at the protagonist.
  • Monika is the only girl to never be shown outside of school or in a casual outfit. She later states that she knows this and is jealous of the other girl's for having them, as well as wishing she could have "worn some cute clothes for you."
  • Monika is the only person to talk to the player for a little while before reading his/her poem, unlike the other girls who would immediately read the player's poem after choosing them.
  • Monika is the only character in the game to have her voice connected explicitly to the credited individual for the vocals (Jillian Ashcraft) because of direct dialog presented before and during the credits.
• Her song, Your Reality, was featured in SMG4: If Mario was in... Deltarune and SMG4: My Mario Academia.
