| - She has a strong attraction towards Rito (which is similar to Lala's but more lustful). She has stated how his facial expressions are lovely, letting him touch her tail, and even becomes more aroused when Nana refers to him as a "beast". At one point, she felt jealous of Lala when Rito's hand was stuck to her tail. Momo explains that she first noticed Rito when the latter desperately tried to save Celine, whom he had considered as family despite the inability to communicate with plants. Her affections developed further when Rito pretended to be Peke for her sake, so that she would not get into trouble for the mistake she caused. She also really loves his lustful nature, which he unknowingly shows when he's asleep (To Love-Ru Darkness Ch.14.5). She, like most girls, eventually falls in love with him though unlike the other girls she sexually desires him as well. In To Love-Ru Darkness, Momo still seeks Rito's love, but unwilling to cause conflict between her sister or Haruna, Momo realizes that if Rito becomes the next king of Deviluke, Earth laws will not apply to him, allowing him to create a harem where she can display her affections openly, and make Lala and the rest of their female friends happy at the same time. After figuring this, Momo starts to develop the Harem Plan. Rito shows a great deal of care for Momo and her siblings, like when he asked her what kind of person their mother is and if she and her sisters feel lonely not being able to see their mother, she answers no, saying that she has her sisters and Rito and if possible she wants to be with him from now on. Despite her clear lust and love for Rito when she had the chance to take things further with him in the Gym Cupboard (To Love-Ru Darkness Ch. 17) she grew too scared to continue and recoiled from him. This has become a point of regret and shame in Momo's mind, believing that she lacks the resolve to complete the Harem Plan. However, she has stated she's "beyond that", and currently makes regular attempts to canoodle and nuzzle with him for fun so as to help him get used to the female form; despite overwhelming and annoying him the majority of the time in doing so. She has shown a devoted caring for his well-being and happiness, constantly standing up for him, and even getting angry towards/threatening those who intend to harm or mistreat him (including her own twin sister), and normally partakes in her sexual advances towards him when she feels it can/will be 'enjoyable' for the both of them, even when it winds up only being fully enjoyable for her. And while her perverted nature does cause him some problems, it's clear that a large portion of this is due to her wanting to love him to the fullest of her abilities, as well as bringing out the pleasing "carnivore" within him for everyone in the harem plan's sexual benefit.
