Tả Momo Rabbit

[Raina Giorno]

Sheis a white rabbit with a light blue scarf around her neck and ears. Her eyes are completely closed and have never been seen with her eyes open, even when sentient. She has a mole under her right eye and wears a gold clockwork-shaped crown on her left ear. She is usually carried around on Akiho Shinomoto's bag as a plush toy of sorts.

In her true form, she is a young lady with short curly hair. She wears a half black and half white flared dress, divided by a fringe on the skirt that separates a gear-shaped ornament with two clock hands, as well as a series of transparent wings that come out from the waist. Its sleeves are extremely loose with plush edges as well as on the neck. She also wears a tiara crowned with three peaks from which two long ribbons are born.

Momo was born together with the Alice in Clockland book a long time ago, and that book is capable of granting its owner command over a special kind of sorcery: time magic, to those who make a contract with it. Unfortunately, whoever tried to master the time magic proved to be extremely difficult, so much so that no one ever did, and those who tried it rarely ended well. Momo out of guilt and tiredness for seeing so many people ruin themselves, almost decided to shut everything down.[1]

Momo then decided that such magic should not be used and gave up on finding a new owner for the book. However, this changed when a sorcerer named Yuna D. Kaito came to her expressing interest in such magic. Momo agreed in exchange for Kaito giving her chocolates, tea, and a comfortable sofa[1].

As Kaito and Akiho settle in Tomoeda, Momo stays close to Akiho as her stuffed animal. However, she commonly drops the facade when she is alone with Kaito. Momo often argues with him about recent events, such as his use of time magic and Sakura's creation of the Clear Cards[3].

Despite staying in a neutral position most of the time, Momo took an intervention role on two occasions. The first when was Nadeshiko's Clock stops time when the book inside Akiho goes haywire, leading Sakura to discover Momo when she comes to her aid. Knowing that Kaito would go back in time to erase the encounter, Momo decides to reveal her true form to Sakura and shows the girl a world where no one remembers her[4].

Momo appears before Cerberus and Spinel, revealing herself as the guardian of the magical book and saying that she wants to leave them something even though their meeting would also be erased by Kaito[5]. It is not revealed until that what she left behind was a message recorded by the Record card that Sakura left hidden in her room.

In the message, which Sakura and Akiho see, Momo says that she knows that Kaito is hiding something about what he is planning and that is why she will use the ring that Lilie entrusted to her to protect Record and the other Clear Cards from being erased by the time rewrite, also allowing for Sakura to regain her lost memories[6].

After fulfilling its purpose, both the book and Momo disappear to an unknown destination. Eriol speculates that the Clear Cards, being the "key" that activated the book, were sealed within it after its disappearance. With the world returning to the way it was before, Akiho decides to embark on a journey along Kaito not only to find a way to cure him of the effects of time magic, but also to find Momo and the book.[7]
