The Journalist is an Easter Egg character. So I think his daughter is an Easter Egg character…Nemesis. (For those who don't know, Nemesis is an optional Mission Mode feature- an assassin who tries to hunt and kill you as you hunt your own target.)

When you think about it, it makes sense. She's an assassin. That's where she gets her money, and why she's so attached to her computer. (After all, our Yandere-chan is attached to her phone.) It's where she gets the blood, why she acts so strange…and why she hates Yandere-chan (despite acting completely sane, she kills Yandere-chan brutally, the same way a zero-sanity kill is performed by Yandere-chan). Ayano, in the hypothetical 1980s Mode, destroyed her father. So in Mission Mode, Nemesis wants to destroy Yandere-chan.

Not to mention YandereDev has dropped hints on that expectant come-on-guess way that he "wonders why she has such a powerful grudge"- the way he does when he's about to do something clever.

Also, he has since changed the "Yandere tenth rival" plan into a "Mary Sue final rival" plan. That could very well be where the Yandere went.

To me this is the more likely out of all the ideas suggested so far, but I may well be all alone…
