Ahhhh, Momo. Dear, sweet, delightfully evil Momo. Truly you are queen amongst all children in videogames.

I confess: I have a weakness for evil little girls. Kalia, BB Hood, Elosha, Kakurine... I love them all dearly, and they're all on The List. Kalia, at least, I like for more than that, and that's why she gets a shrine.

But nobody, bar none, NOBODY compares to the greatness of Momo when one is talking evil little kids. Why? Because she IS a kid. Not deceptively young-looking, not actually a killer android, not a malevolent extradimensional entity. She's a little kid. She plays tennis. She uses hearts as a major theme in her clothing choices. She's totally normal, aside from being an ass-kicking martial arts death machine.

And, oh yes, evil. Manipulative, sneaky, cunning, and when it comes right down to it, ruthless. She's the loyal - not, not just loyal, enthusiastic - minion of Kurow Kirishima, and she gleefully aids him in all his dirty work. And then, when his plans crumble around him, she changes sides and helps out the good guys. Especially that poor dumb dope, Shoma, whom she had been manipulating all along.

AND THEY BELIEVE HER.

They even go out of their way to get her out of trouble with the school afterwards! Just so she can promptly go back to hitting on Shoma in front of the girl he actually likes!

What a bunch of suckers.

But oh, what an awesomely, stupendously evil little girl.

I salute you, Momo. You kick ass. And damn, you're evil.
