Description
Momo Belia Deviluke, the third princess of Planet Deviluke, is the youngest daughter of King Gid Lucione Deviluke and Queen Sephie Michaela Deviluke. Born on August 8 under the zodiac sign Leo, she stands 151 cm tall, possessing pink hair, purple eyes, and a Devilukean tail with a spade-shaped tip. Her physical measurements were B78-W54-H78 in the original series, later developing to B80-W54-H79 in *To Love-Ru Darkness*, a bust size difference that became a point of envy for her twin sister, Nana Astar Deviluke. Momo is also the younger sister of Lala Satalin Deviluke. Initially sporting frizzy pink hair, she straightened it in *To Love-Ru Darkness* to appear more mature to Rito Yuuki, though she retains two small flowers in her hair.
Momo displays a dual-layered personality. Publicly perceived as sweet, kindhearted, and innocent, her private nature is highly perverted, calculating, and mischievous. This hidden side manifests primarily around Rito Yuuki, whom she deeply loves and lusts after. She frequently sneaks into his bed at night, often half-naked, drawn by his unintentionally amorous behavior during sleep. She extensively fantasizes about intimate situations involving Rito, sometimes including other girls, and actively desires him to become sexually assertive. Despite this lustful disposition, she takes love seriously, refusing accidental advances like unconscious kisses and insisting Rito must consciously reciprocate affection. Her perverted tendencies coexist with genuine protectiveness; she exhibits fierce loyalty when friends are threatened, entering a terrifying "battle mode" state she dubs "Evil Momo," characterized by heightened bloodlust, a pronounced fang, and predatory pupils. This state emerges during crises, such as confrontations with the Venus Momo Club or threats to Rito, Yami, or Nana.
Her character arc centers on the "Harem Plan," a strategy she spearheads in *To Love-Ru Darkness*. Recognizing Rito's inability to choose between romantic interests and leveraging Devilukean polygamous customs, Momo aims to position him as Deviluke's future king, thereby exempting him from Earth's monogamy laws. The plan involves enrolling at Sainan High School to monitor Rito's interactions and manipulate scenarios to foster romantic connections between him and multiple girls, including Lala, Haruna Sairenji, Nana, Yami, Mikan Yuuki, Yui Kotegawa, Run Elise Jewelria, and Rin Kujou. She researches tactics through love simulation games and orchestrates encounters to acclimate Rito to polyamory. However, after her mother Sephie questions whether Momo's heart genuinely accepts sharing Rito, she experiences doubt. This surfaces when Haruna and Rito accidentally kiss, triggering uncharacteristic jealousy and anxiety in Momo, momentarily destabilizing her commitment to the plan. She ultimately reaffirms her resolve after witnessing Lala's contentment in sharing Rito's affection, though lingering uncertainties about her own happiness persist.
Momo's abilities stem from her hybrid Devilukean-Charmian physiology. She exhibits standard Devilukean traits like superhuman strength and lightning emission from her tail, which can combine with Nana's for amplified power. Her tail is highly sensitive, inducing weakness and erotic stimulation when touched. Her signature power is botanical communication, allowing her to converse with and command plant life across the galaxy. This grants her expertise in xenobotany and horticulture, enabling her to weaponize plants or utilize their properties via her D-Dial device, which summons flora from her interplanetary garden. She also displays high intellect, creating virtual reality programs like "Trouble Quest," generating force fields with barrier technology, and expertly acting to maintain her innocent facade. Her childhood was marked by constant arguments with Nana, mitigated by Lala's interventions to foster reconciliation. Prior to the series, she traveled space befriending extraterrestrial plants.
Her relationships reflect her complexities. She shares a competitive yet caring bond with Nana, often teasing her about her smaller bust but cooperating in crises. With Rito, she blends genuine affection with strategic manipulation, viewing him as both a beloved partner and the lynchpin of her harem ambitions. She respects Lala while quietly vying for Rito's attention, and she interacts protectively with allies like Yami. Her dynamic with her mother Sephie remains influential, as Sephie's tacit approval of the Harem Plan comes with poignant concern for Momo's emotional fulfillment.
