When Monaca talks, everyone freezes... When Monaca smiles, everyone stops smiling... For Monaca, the outsider, the eyesore, to survive in that house, she did what she had to do.
~ Monaca Towa in Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls.

Monaca Towa is a major antagonist of the Danganronpa franchise, being the main antagonist of Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls, and a supporting antagonist of Danganronpa 3: Despair Arc.

She is the actual leader of the Warriors of Hope. Amongst the Warriors of Hope she has the rank of "Mage", also creating a robotic bear called "Kurokuma".

She is voiced by Aya Hirano in Japanese (who also voiced Hannah Anafeloz in Kuroshitsuji II, Misa Amane in Death Note, andd Miu Asakura in Bungaku Shoujo) and Cristina Valenzuela in English (who also voiced Elsa Granhiert in Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World, Flame Emperor in Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Homura Akemi in Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Nightmare Ladybug in Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir, Risky Boots in Shantae, and Rei Hōōmaru in Kill La Kill).

Appearance[]

Monaca has short green hair and green eyes. In her hair she wears a red ribbon with a bow. She wears a knee-length black dress. She uses an electric wheelchair due to her supposedly incapacitated legs. Later in the story, it is revealed that she can actually walk and was only faking her incapability to walk. When she's out the wheelchair, the back of her dress is shown to have a decal of a pelvis and spine. She also wears white shoes with black knee highs.

Personality[]

Monaca appears to be a cheerful, kind, caring, charming, and empathetic person. However, it is shown that she is actually an amoral, deranged, sociopath and master manipulator. By being extremely polite and respectful, cutesy and by the fact that others pity her for her being in a wheelchair, she is able to easily manipulate the other Warriors of Hope, even resorting to sexual extortion to do so. She is very intelligent for her age and is specialized in robotics.

She idolized Junko Enoshima, seeing her as a big sister and an example. She dedicates her life to be more like Junko and continue her reign of despair.

Biography[]

Early life[]

Monaca was born as a bastard of Tokuichi Towa, president of Towa Group and was abandoned by her mother, which Monaca despised. She was soon adopted by her father instead of sending her to the orphanage. However, she has been neglected by her adopted family and some instance of physical abuse by her father and half-brother, Haiji Towa. She soon faked her paraplegic nature in order to stop further abuse and manipulate people easy.

She attended Hope's Peak Elementary School and was part of the "troublemaker" class with Masaru, Jataro, Kotoko, and Nagisa. Together with her classmates, she planned a group suicide. However, Monaca never had plans to commit suicide in the first place, and she planned to let the others die as a joke. But the group suicide was stopped by Junko Enoshima, who took in the children and manipulated them by treating them with kindness and love.

So, Monaca helped Junko (knowing perfectly well that Junko was trying to use her) by mass-producing Monokumas using her position as a representative of the Towa Group. She tricked her father and the other adults in order to produce the Monokumas, telling them that she wanted to create futuristic robots that could rescue humans during disasters and save lives. However, Haiji Towa explains that he and his father were not fooled by Monaca: Due to Monaca's genius and their separation from the family, they decided to give her permission to do whatever she wanted as soon as she managed to bring benefits to the company, and they did not decide to investigate too much about their plans.

Monaca would use these robots in the Tragedy as killer robots while also creating helmets shaped like the head of a Monokuma to mentally control her guests, who would be children. When her father discovered this, he tried to stop her but she blackmailed him that if he did so, everyone would know that his company had helped Junko Enoshima. With this Monaca would make her father create as many Monokumas as weapons to fight them, so the Towa group was seen as heroes by other people but at the same time was allied with the Ultimate Despair. with this the group would gain money, honor and protection.

After Junko's death, Tokuichi, Monaca's father, would surrender to the Future Foundation, to later be killed by some Monokumas sent by Monaca. After this she would manipulate her friends into making an adult genocide to follow Junko's last wishes, saying that the adults had killed Junko. And the way they would kill the adults would be in a game created by Monaca called "Demon Hunting" where they would hunt down the adults they caught by putting a bracelet on them that would kill them if they tried to escape. They also caught Nagito Komaeda and made him their servant although he would secretly help Monaca with her true intentions.

Danganronpa Another: Ultra Despair Girls[]

Monaca Towa blackmailed Toko Fukawa into gaining the trust of Makoto Naegi's sister and bringing her to where she was. After capturing Komaru Naegi, they would make her participate in the Demon Hunt, but Toko would not capture her as they had told her, instead helping her survive.

Monaca sent her friends to try to kill them, although it is very sure that that was part of their plan. After Nagisa Shingetsu tried to help the protagonists escape, Monaca kissed him to manipulate him to kill the protagonists, but when he resisted, she kissed him even more and with her tongue, leaving him crying.

Then she would use her most powerful robot together with Kurokuma to try to kill the protagonists, failing. After this, she would let Komaru break the control that controlled the Monokumas, although it was all part of his plan since if the control broke all the Monokuma Kids, the children with Monokuma helmets with their minds washed, would die as their helmets would explode along with their heads. Then Komaru would realize that Monaca did not resist much and it seemed that she wanted the control to be destroyed. Monaca began to try to convince her to destroy it until Haiji Towa came to try to destroy her as well and then Kotoko Utsugi arrived to stop them. After this Monaca revealed that it was part of her plan to make a successor for Junko and that this would be Komaru. To urge her to break the control, Monaca shows Komaru a video that shows her parents dead. When Komaru was going to break the control, Toko takes control of her hands, so Haiji tries to take control of her but at that moment, Big Bang Monokuma, managed by Shirokuma, breaks the ceiling, causing it to fall on top of Monaca. Defeating Big Bang Monokuma would leave Monaca there, her legs crushed by the rubble, but she would be saved by Nagito Komaeda for her to become Junko's successor.

Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak Academy[]

Monaca infiltrates the foundation of the future posing as Miaya Gekkogahara creating a robot just like Miaya and would send to kill the real one, fulfilling it, then she would be discovered by Byakuya Togami sending Komaru and Toko to catch her. Monaca reveals that in reality she did not cause everything that was happening in the foundation, and on the contrary, she was only watching what happened there to entertain herself, since in reality she had already gotten bored of hope and despair because of Nagito's constant ramblings. She decides to go to space, but before revealing that if Makoto Naegi continues to live, one of his most precious companions will die.

Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls[]

Monaca is called Monaca! Monaca's a Mage in the Warriors of Hope. I was known as Li'l Ultimate Homeroom while I was in elementary school. You might think there are no Ultimates and Commons in a class like Homeroom, but there are! For me, my skill isn't really about uniting people, it's about getting them all to help me. Believe it or not, I bring together a lot of wonderful people... It would be nice if you could be a wonderful person for Monaca, too...
~ Monaca introducing herself.
It! Doesn't! Have to! Make! Any! Sense! That's! All! If! Monaca! Wants! It! It! Happens! That's! How! It! Is!
~ Monaca throwing a tantrum about how everything should be her way.
Komaru Naegi... In your current situation, you don't have the right to say a thing. You cannot choose your path. Because this place you're in? It isn't a path at all. You are not on a path, you are falling into an abyss. A darkness gaping open beneath your feet. You are just going to fall and fall... Can't you feel the pull of gravity?
~ Monaca taunting Komaru over her current situation.
Rest in peace, our hero Masaru... You were a grand leader. You worked your hardest, like a real hero should, though you were a coward.
~ Monaca faking sadness over Masaru Daimon's "death".
All we gotta do is fulfill the hopeful dream Big Sis Junko gave us... We shouldn’t give up. We can't abandon hope.
~ Monaca reminding the other Warriors of Hope not to give up hope.
Pitiful children are the most powerful, don't you think? Monaca's home life was terrible... She didn't feel like she belonged there. But Monaca was more brilliant than her brother or her father, and they hated her for it... But then, I thought of a way I could counter their neglect and cruelty... All I had to do was become a pitiful figure... Then, I would have the whole world's sympathy.
~ Monaca talking about her ability to gain sympathy from others by posing as a victim.
The moment Monaca saw her... Monaca understood. Big Sis Junko is light itself that will shine down on Monaca's boring little world. It's a miracle! Thank you, God! At least, at the time I thought it was a miracle. But later I learned it was inevitable. She came into my life just to take advantage of me.
~ Monaca realizing how Junko never cared about her and was simply using her.
You know hope isn't always a good thing. At times, hope can be a terrible burden... It can be a drive to hurt others. Just like now. What did you think would happen if you gave people who watched their loved ones die hope? They will turn into Demons. Demons who live for revenge.
~ Monaca talking about how the "detriments" of hope.
"Family love... It sounds so nice. Something I've never felt my whole life.
~ Monaca wondering how having a loving family would feel like.
The hope you felt was just for the sake of making you feel the worst kind of despair.
~ Monaca talking to Komaru about how the latter's hope was also her own despair.
Monaca tried to imitate Big Sis Junko, you tried to imitate your brother... But in the end we both failed. Neither of us could live up to expectations.
~ Monaca reflecting on how both her and Komaru tried to be people they admired, but failed.

Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School[]

Huh? It isn't working... I guess I need to reboot it? Sheesh... That's super-duper despair-inducing!
~ Monaca referring to the robotic clone of Miaya Gekkogahara she used to replace the real Miaya.
I thought if we talked, we could understand each other. I thought we wouldn't have to kill each other! You, of all people, know that hope is infectious. You tried hard, and that gave me hope. So now, it's my turn to give hope to you! Sure, this time it didn't go well. But in the end, I'm sure everything will be fine!
~ Monaca talking to Makoto and his allies about how they "gave her hope".
Indeed! Hope is about to wipe all of us out! However, my beloved Monokumas, despair is not dead yet! Because Monaca is still here. I, Monaca Towa, who was given the despair factor by big sis Junko! A world filled with hope is boring. Everyone should learn more about how wonderful despair is... I, the second Junko Enoshima, Monaca Towa, shall drive the Future Foundation and the whole world completely, despairfully, into despair!
~ Monaca's speech to an plethora of Monokumas.
Love and friendship are so disgusting! Why can't anyone understand how wonderful despair is? It makes Monaca so sad... Sob, sob. I think that now, with big sis Junko gone, the whole world doesn't want Monaca anymore... So I can either run away from the world that's rejected me, or I can destroy it. One of the two, right? But I've already picked my answers.
~ Monaca explaining about how she's made her answer of what to do now that Junko was dead and the world didn't want anything to do with her.
I, Monaka Towa, Junko Enoshima II, am the only one who can bring the Super High School-Level Hope, Makoto Naegi, to despair! Thanks to him, I've become big sis Junko more than big sis Junko was herself!
~ Monaca announcing herself as Junko Enoshima's successor.
That guy turned me into an adult a while ago. As I listened to him talk about hope and about despair, I realize I didn't want to end up like him. That's why Monaka's done with despair.
~ Monaca talking about how the Servant's rambling about hope and despair turned her away from both of them.
Despair will win!
~ Monaca reveling in how she'll make despair will win against hope.
I figure if we fight, I'll lose. Even if I fight, hope always ultimately wins. But I don't know whose hope it'll be. So, I'm done!
~ Monaca deciding that she's done trying to combat hope because, no matter what, it'll always win against despair.
Hope... Despair... Despair... Hope... It's all too complicated for Monaca! Okay! I'm done with thinking forever! Yay!
~ Monaca before becoming a NEET by launching herself into space.
