• Story and Past

Her initial goal had been to defeat Subaru when he was the demon lord, but Subaru likes Komomo so much that he abdicates his throne to help Komomo with her journey. Komomo then begins to develop feelings for Subaru, and then she starts on her journey to the human continent with the goal of healing Subaru's cursed Lyncanthrope hand. Subaru often teases Komomo, which leaves her annoyed, but she still harbors feelings for him. When Subaru's hand resonated with the pillar of light in the sky, Subaru learned of the existence of the survivor of the lycanthrope and with her supporting him and urging him to go, the two of them travel to the island, searching for clues in order to cure his rejection symptoms. She was diagnosed with a fracture in her left leg and a recovery period of 2 months, when she helped Chiruha who fell from the building when the demon attacked. She wasn't able to work until her leg had healed, so she instead helped around the punitive squad, while she and Purino were allowed to stay in Cain's mansion. When she was younger, she was despised for having magical power, and later lost her mother, who was the only person who could understand her, and became very lonely. Later on, she met Subaru. After their encounter, she was very wary at first and things of the sort, but now, he has become an irreplaceable person and presence to her, similarly to her mother. Despite being worried for Subaru, she was looking for a way to cure the rejection of his right hand, which is that of a lycanthrope, saying that this is for herself, thinking of him. Her bond with Subaru has strengthened over time, and in turn, she also fell in love with him from the bottom of her heart, as well. Training with Kurenai in hopes of becoming stronger after Subaru left the island, she was also very hopeful that his hand would indeed be cured while he was away, just as he had spoken of, though this was a lie. When Chiruha had left the island as well in order to meet Sigma, Komomo and the others would soon follow after her, wanting to rescue her and talk to Subaru about the recent events of sorts, as well. When Komomo disguised herself as a maid in pursuit of infiltrating Subaru's place after hearing that Purino and the others were in danger of some sort, she wanted to talk with him to find out the truth of everything, thinking to herself "I'm worried about Purino and the guys too, but Subaru is the main problem for now. Let's push this to his place. If they're all captured, I'll have him release them. I'll hit him hard and listen to his story. And lecture him after that...!!" and "Subaru is behind this door. Is he really the Subaru I know? All the things that happened after he went away... I don't understand what he's thinking about... And I can ask him everything once I open this door. How will I react once I come to know it? How will we be... Will I be able to listen to his story properly? Will I be able to accept him...?" However, soon after the two of them reunited, Subaru turned her away to the soldiers who had come to capture her as well, in what everyone had assumed to be betrayal. After everyone escaping somehow, Komomo felt very confused and even sorrowful. Soon after, everyone then made their way to the location in which Chiruha and Sigma were. Another sign of her determination and love for those important to her is when before they were to leave, Komomo prayed to her mother, saying "...Mom, you must be watching me from heaven. ...I must be worrying you... I was really shocked about Subaru's matter. But I am totally prepared now. I won't lose my way. I will only think about getting Subaru back. Him going away from me wasn't strange. I couldn't do anything for him. I didn't even understand at all, that he was suffering from his right hand this whole time. But I won't give up. I will cure his rejection symptoms. I'm going to talk with him once more...! That's why mom, our dream house I promised to you, would you mind waiting just a bit more... Our new house will definitely be livlier than before, mom."

• Appearance

Komomo has short, almost white, blond hair that touches the end of her neck, though it is revealed she had long hair in the past. Her eyes are also a light blue color. She often wears very feminine clothing like frilly dresses, though this is more-so Ume's clothing taste than her own, seeing that she is said to not be very girly, and that Ume is implied to provide her clothes. she once complained to him about how she'd prefer simpler clothes, but Ume's response suggests that he is giving what suits her the most. For the majority of the story, Komomo wears a cast on her left leg due to a fracture, but it heals shortly after Subaru leaves.
