Momo Belia Deviluke (Japanese: モモ・ベリア・デビルーク, Hepburn: Momo Beria Debirūku) is a fictional character in the manga series To Love Ru, created by Saki Hasemi and Kentaro Yabuki. In the series, Momo is Lala Satalin Deviluke's younger sister and the younger twin sister to Nana Astar Deviluke, with Momo as the most mischievous of the three. Both twins flee to Earth to escape their studies on their home planet Deviluke. While Nana is able to communicate with animals, Momo has the unique ability to speak to plants. Although initially featured as a recurring secondary character in the original To Love Ru series, Momo becomes one of the main female protagonists in the sequel To Love Ru Darkness, in which she plots to build (and be part of) a harem of girls around protagonist Rito Yuki, for whom she deeply falls in love with.
Characterization Like her sisters, Momo also has pink hair (but much shorter than theirs). Unlike her twin sister Nana, she has a much sweeter, more friendly and calculating personality, but when she gets angry, she is the most terrifying and sadistic of the three sisters, completely changing her character and the way of doing things. Momo is highly intelligent (although less than Lala) and is an expert in the field of extraterrestrial plants. She has a much more mature mentality in some respects, especially when it comes to sex, than her sisters. Similar to Nana, Momo loves to dress in a Gothic Lolita style, albeit her attire generally consists of black and green colours, as contrary to her sister's, which is of black and red. Among other things, Momo's tail is particularly sensitive, so much so that it can weaken her at the mere touch of a person, in addition to provoking arousal in her (in fact, Momo sometimes touches her tail to vent her own instincts).
Appearances
In To Love Ru As the daughter of King Gid and Queen Sephie of Deviluke, an alien planet far distant from Earth, Momo, the younger sister of Lala Satalin Deviluke and twin of Nana Astar Deviluke, holds the title of "Third Princess of Deviluke", as she is the youngest of the three sisters. Since childhood, Momo and Nana always argued. Whenever they fought, Lala would always find ways for the twins to reconcile and for Zastin (Lala's personal bodyguard) not to be angry with them. At some point in time before the events of the series, Momo travelled through the galaxy and met tons of plants from different worlds, befriending all of them due to her ability to communicate with them. Momo, alongside Nana, makes her first appearance in the manga in chapter 97 of To Love Ru, in which the twins arrive on Earth and transport basically the entire cast of the manga into a RPG world inside Trouble Quest, a virtual reality game that Momo and Nana programmed and used to determine whether Rito Yuki is worthy of being engaged to Lala or not. In the end, after everyone exits Trouble Quest, the twins apologize to Lala for all the problems they caused before returning to Deviluke. A few chapters later, they went back to Earth after escaping from Deviluke and their studies. However, they forgot that Zastin was also staying on Earth, who was instructed by their father to bring them back home. In the end, they defeat Zastin and his assistants, and convinced their father that they are going to stay on Earth with Lala. During Momo and Nana's stay at the Yuki household, they created their own house in the attic using space distortion technology. They also take care of all their necessities to avoid disturbing Rito's younger sister, Mikan Yuki, for cooking, cleaning, etc. However, they still come down sometimes to eat Mikan's cooking. Throughout the series, Momo gradually develops affectionate feelings for Rito despite him being the fiancé of her sister Lala. She often fantasizes perverted situations with Rito, and desires for him to become sexually active towards her. Momo would constantly sneak into Rito's room to sleep with him, sometimes even half-naked, revealing Momo's lustful side. Whenever she is asked of the situation, she simply says that she accidentally gets into Rito's room while she is half asleep. Momo has also stated that she knows Rito would not reciprocate her feelings, and that she is content just to be a lover.
