And when her body transformed into mechanical final form, her eyes turned into golden color.

Momoha's default clothes include her always being seen wearing a cherry blossom pink Winde brand jacket. Underneath is a pink long-sleeve shirt, bright pink miniskirt (shorts in anime version) and a burgundy belt. She wears matching shoes with dark purple over the knee socks, and in certain CGs is shown to wear a lavender-pink leg warmers. She wears a pink-white sport watch on her right wrist and pink wristband on her left wrist. Momoha's trademark trait is her always being seen wearing small, scarlet roses hairpin that decorated on her hair as a souvenir by her mother at a day of her suicide.

In Kenshi's route when he invites Momoha for the WPWE's Grand Masquerade Party as part of the spy operations on Emilien Richelieu's schemes, she wore a tufts blue ball gown with light blue trimming, a matching choker and ribbon. She wears a blue court shoes and white-puffed blue satin evening gloves. She also wore a kind of accessories such are white feathers head pins, blue crystal necklace and earrings.

In Daito, Kenshi and Yumeto's bad ending, distressed and in despair over failing Silicon Microchip on Daito/Kenshi, Hades takes over her completely, changing both her personality and appearance. Momoha's eyes becomes much darker than before. She wears a long-sleeved purple suit jacket, underneath a dark pink shirt and micro skirt that shows her pants freely.

At a days of school, Momoha wears an official Hakujitsu school uniform in Common Route with pink bowtie for female students.

As with each main character being identified with a certain color, Momoha's commonly associated colors are light pink and white.

## Personality

Momoha is an usually a kind, calm and carefree young girl. She often smiles/or winks and is always taking in deep care of everyone, offering her help to repairing or upgrading every PlaWrestlers in any way she can. She can also stand up for herself and know when to hold her ground when she's being insulted or being attacked by the street punks, such as when Kazuma and Jake, under their PlaWres tag team Wild Amazon, attempted to fights her before Yuzuru and Diamond Prince stepped in. She isn't afraid about revealing her true feelings and can be straightforward at times, whether she knows the person or not. She's shown to be quite the female-only manager, often suggesting methods to their plans and asking questions as a precaution on whether something will succeed or fail.

Despite getting involved with many different kinds of colorful robots, Momoha doesn't judge others based on appearances or personal preferences. She would rather get to know them better first, showing interest in their personalities and themselves as their modelers.

Momoha implies to have dating a little in her time prior to the main events of the game. Depending on the route, Momoha will mention that she has develop her romantic relationship with her boyfriends (usually before or during a sex scene), but has been a low nerves when handsome men reject anything involved touching and kissing, or never even considered the thought of being with any perfect man of heterosexuality. Besides that, she doesn't question herself or other girls a lot, often going with the flow of things and how they come naturally. Momoha said that Daito does become very flustered with her the most, though (due to Momoha's habit of kissing him in the most inappropriate times), asking him if Clark played for "that" team, much to Ritsuka's confusion.

Throughout the game, Momoha's choice of words and actions influence each main robots to the point of either giving their lives a new meaning: purifying them or completely destroying them. She's shown to change many of their lives by becoming a big impact on them, whether they wanted it to be that way or not. Momoha has also shown that, just by saying the right things to show her true feelings or by simply continuing to smile, she managed to completely change the minds of Daito and Hibiki, both who had plans of taking their own lives at one point.

"The Another Momoha" is a different story however when either Kyousuke's spirit or Hades' spirit takes control Momoha's emotions. Being an entity that represents god of the underworld lies inside Momoha's heart, he gives off the impression to both Momoha and the player of being mentally unstable, continuously desiring destruction and mayhem. But as the light of hope that represents Silicon Microchip, a heart-shaped object lies on Momoha's right eye, Kyousuke's spirit usually comes out whenever Momoha felt in danger and encourages her to fight back without fear. When taking control of Momoha's emotions, she overcomes all fears and has no problem using Silicon Microchip as freely as she wants, shown when everybody at the Crystal Point gathering had collapsed to the floor from her ultimate power in Hikaru's Route. She's shown to become much more physically stronger than Momoha normally is, able to actually lay hands on Hibiki, something Momoha could not do.
