MOMO Mizrahi

MOMO Mizrahi is a character that plays a central part in the storyline of Xenosaga, especially during Episode II.

Her first name is an acronym for Multiple Observative Mimetic Organicus.

In the video game and anime, MOMO is a Realian, a class of artificial humans.

Specifically, she is a prototype 100-series Observational Realian developed through genetic engineering by Joachim Mizrahi to combat Gnosis, an alien that exist in a different plane of existence.

She was created with the appearance and personality of a young girl and does not show the signs of aging.

Her primary motivation throughout the series is to fulfill the wishes of Joachim.

She also seeks approval from Juli Mizrahi as something more than a replacement doll for her and her husband's deceased daughter, Sakura, with whom she was created in image.

In addition she grows close to Ziggurat 8 "Ziggy" and Jr., both of whom lost someone dear to them as well.

Originally, MOMO was created by Joachim Mizrahi, a scientist, to resurrect U-DO.

She was crafted in the likeness of his dead daughter, Sakura.

He went so far as to tell MOMO that if she did good deeds, one day she could become a real human girl; that she could actually become Sakura.

After the death of Joachim Nizrahi, MOMO was rescued from her birthplace amidst the chaos of the Miltian Conflict and went to live on the planet Fifth Jerusalem, the hub of the Galaxy Federation, with Juli Mizrahi whom she termed "mother".

MOMO was programmed with the behavior and emotions of a twelve-year-old girl, and considers both Joachim and Juli Mizrahi to be her parents.

Aside from her pink hair and the yellow eyes, MOMO is an otherwise perfect physical copy of their deceased daughter, Sakura.

Aside from Juli Mizrahi, the two most important figures in MOMO's life are Ziggurat 8 "Ziggy", whom she nicknamed after he rescued her and Jr.

In Episode I, MOMO's outfit closely resembles a Japanese schoolgirl's uniform.

She takes the role in the series as a magical schoolgirl.

Her weapon start out as short magical rods in Episode I and later, in Episodes II & III, as an Ether-based composite bow.

The rods can be used to physically attack or to shoot musical- or petal-themed laser beams giving her both short- and long-ranged attacks, however when she wields a bow, it makes all of her attacks long-range.

Among her Ether skills is the ability to transform into a more powerful version of herself by performing a transformation sequence.

The costumes she wears determines the either-based abilities she has access to for a limited amount of time.

In Episode III MOMO is specifically given new abilities to immobilize enemies by filling up an enemy's "Break meter".
