Celeste left Momoko and her father to return to the Angel World; Momoko would not learn of this until ten years later. Momoko's father told her that her mother had died instead.
Before the series began, Momoko became friends with Yuri Tanima and Hinagiku Tamano.
When meeting Yousuke Fuuma in the pilot episode who commonly calls her Momopi in the next episode, she shows her short temper towards him until Yousuke protects her from other devils' attack. In later episodes, she and Yousuke have strong feelings with each other until she discovers Yousuke transforms into Viento, who later becomes devastated and crying remorsefully and attempts to attack her because of her vulnerability not to kill him.

Biography[]
Momoko is first seen looking at her parents' wedding pictures from their photo album. She is also wearing her mother's wedding dress. Her father comes in and mistakes her for Sakura(Momoko's mother). Momoko wears a memento ring given to her by her mother. She is almost always wearing it.
Powers[]
Momoko's power comes from the Love Wave. As a Love Angel her love wave is one of the most powerful.
Her first attack is Lovely Operation Tempete. The attack is used to purify possessed humans and weaken the devil controlling them from within. She uses Saint Miroir Bridal Flash! (Episodes 2-17) executed by using the Saint Miroir. The heart on her compact glows red and shoots a heart-shaped beam that purfies devils.
Her third attack is the Saint Crystal Love for You! with the Saint Crystal rod. She summons her Saint Crystal rod using the Saint Something Old ring as it glows in red. It allows the rod to absorb the devil waves converting them into love waves and purifies devils in a flash of light. Her ability becomes equally matched against Viento's devil powers in terms of using magic which they are seen clashing with both devil and angel powers much like their parents Celeste and Uragano did before them.
We only see this one once in episode 49 when Momoko saves Yousuke. “Improper wedding! Love Retreat”.
In Wedding Peach DX, she uses the Heart Impact with the Saint Revolver as well as other Love Angel's powers. She also uses Saint Feather Impulse as a side attack to weaken devils.
Relationships[]
Momoko and Yousuke are first seen as hating each other. However, as time passes they eventually become friends and fall in love with each other.
Yousuke enjoys teasing Momoko and calling her "Momopi."
At first when Scarlett O'Hara comes she is not pleased with the relationship between Yousuke and Momoko. Later when Momoko discovers Yousuke is the devil Viento (A half-devil due to his father). She becomes very upset and cries remorsefully, refusing to kill him. She manages to purify him with her love wave as a love angel. In the final episode, she and Yousuke purify Reine Devila with their strong love for each other.
