OVA
Description
Mokona is a white, fluffy, rabbit-like creature possessing long ears and a distinctive red gem on its forehead. This gem occasionally glows blue, green, or yellow during significant events. A singular pink pad marks each foot and paw, while a small tail remains often unnoticed except from behind. Communication occurs primarily through variations of "puu" or "puh," though Hikaru understands its expressions. Its body is elastic and bouncy.
Mokona exhibits a cheerful, affectionate, and mischievous personality. It forms strong bonds with the Magic Knights, showing concern for their well-being and sadness during their struggles. A playful rivalry leads it to tease Umi and the fairy Primera. Though typically avoiding conflict, Mokona displays bravery when necessary, such as sacrificing itself to save Hikaru. Its behavior evolves from initially wild and chirpy to more easygoing. Interactions with Presea involve mutual teasing and playful threats like ear-stretching or being hung by its feet.
Mokona's origins are tied to Cephiro. Princess Emeraude first entrusted it to Clef, who later passed it to Presea before the Magic Knights' arrival. Its primary role was supporting the Knights by providing supplies, shelter, transportation, and facilitating communication with Clef. In the manga's second storyline, Mokona reveals itself as the Creator of Earth and Cephiro. Distressed by Earth's wars, it established Cephiro and the Pillar system to foster happiness. It orchestrates the selection of a new Pillar, narrowing candidates to Hikaru and Eagle Vision. After Hikaru's victory and rejection of the Pillar system, Mokona accepts this decision and departs Cephiro with the three Mashin for another universe.
Mokona's capabilities center on its forehead gem. The gem generates items like food, tents, and vehicles. It projects images or messages for communication and creates means of transport. The gem also opens dimensional gateways, accessed through Mokona's mouth, facilitating travel between worlds. In its true form as the Creator, the gem turns yellow, revealing hidden wings and vast cosmic powers.
Differences exist across official media. The anime depicts Mokona solely as a supportive companion, without the Creator revelation, remaining in Cephiro post-story. The manga fully explores its origin as the Creator and subsequent departure. The OVA limits Mokona's role to acting as an intermediary during the Rune Gods' first communication with the Knights and distributing the Ovum Gems as symbols of their pact.
Regarding spin-offs and crossovers, Mokona Modoki from *Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE* and *xxxHOLiC* are distinct entities explicitly based on Mokona's design. Created by Yūko Ichihara and Clow Reed after encountering the original Mokona, these variants differ in size, speech ability, and specific powers. The original provided knowledge of alternate dimensions, influencing their creation. Despite similarities like dimensional travel and comedic traits, Mokona of Cephiro remains a separate character.
