She was soon adopted by her father instead of sending her to the orphanage. However, she is 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) to mass-produce 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 Biggest, Most Awful, Most Tragic Event in Human History 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 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.
