Likes: Flowers, any sort of flowers!! She adores her found family with the Scions. Crafting and cooking for others, love language is giving things.
Dislikes: How often she cries, feeling anger as it's a relatively new emotion for her, the rain or anything that really gets her tail or hair wet. She still has a fear of animals, though she can now bear to be around her chocobo somewhat.
Personality: Shy and reserved, she is more inclined to quietly watch the world go by than jump in. Once she warms up to others, she can be a bit overwhelming with her gifts of cookies, flowers, and other sweets. Momo cries quiet a lot, which can be aggravating for some. For better or worse she wears her heart on her sleeve, and can be a bit of an emotional ball.
Momo's Early History
Momo was born in the O tribe of Sunseekers located in Vylbrand. She was the last child sired by her father O'tuktu while he was still Nunh; unfortunately her mother, O'halili, passed away due to complications from childbirth. As she was the only child of her mother's, she was shunned by the rest of the tribe as an unlucky omen. Realizing that he needed to raise her himself, Tuktu took his daughter and left Vylbrand.They settled in Gridania, Tuktu scraping together something of a living as a general repairman for residents of the Shroud. They didn't have much but they were comfortable. It was little Momo's dream to join the Conjury guild; with extra side work and gil-pinching, Tuktu was able to save enough to get her accepted and support her in her studies as an early teen. Momo did what she could to help out her father in her spare time, and life was otherwise rather uneventful.After several years of conjury lessons, a few awkward relationships, and never quite getting her feet in front of her, Momo's life changed when her father suddenly fell ill and was no longer able to work. She left the conjury guild and applied to be an adventurer, hoping that odd jobs and assignments would pull in enough money to cover for her father's care. It was here where she met Yda and Papalymo, and eventually find her way to the Waking Sands where her life would change for the better.

Misc. Info
Momo's story is about how a clumsy, plain girl without much strength or determination ended up being the Warrior of Light and saved her world. As such, its easy to see how people may view her as "boring", but she's my type of character. I'm flattered whenever anyone spends time out of their day to like or comment about her!Her scar on her right cheek is very important; it is a reminder to embrace imperfection and to learn from our mistakes. Momo carries a lot of my weaknesses and seeing her thrive, happy, and in love brings me so much joy.I appreciate all artists I have commissioned for drawing Momo (and her with Urianger!), it means a lot to me to be able to see her & them together. I absolutely love supporting artists and hope I am able to get more art in the future.
