Name: Imo "Momo" Tako (Taro Octopus) Age: 13
Appearance: Imo is very short, standing at only four feet tall. She has pale skin and large brown eyes, and her deep purple hair curls in large tendrils down to the small of her back.
Fashion:
Imo demands the latest fashions, and wants to be dressed like the most spoiled princess in the world. Elder dark mews and aliens bring her jewelry from Earth, and when training she is always seen in a skirt, if not a dress. When not modelling her latest demands, Momo frequently wears a short black crinoline skirt with grey thigh high socks and black boots, and a purple sweater. If tiaras weren't a sign of wanting to be superior than Deep Platinum, Momo would probably have begged for a few of those, too. Imo trains in a black leotard and purple shorts, both of which are water-resistant as she does lots of training in the water.
Personality:
Imo has all of the beauty and cuteness of Kiiro with none of the winning personality. She is respectful to the very powerful, but to the others, particularly the female aliens and Dark Mews...and Takumi, she is demanding and stubborn and selfish to the core (precisely the qualities for which she was recruited...until the aliens found out she'd treat them the same way). In short, Imo is a spoiled brat. Her ambition is limited to the material right now, but when she grows older there's no telling what she might set her sights on.
Facts/Quirks:
1. Imo's nickname is "Momo," but she isn't nearly that sweet.
2. Imo loves being a Dark Mew because it makes her feel special and a part of something (even though her allies loathe her).
3. Imo feels very betrayed by her family, and in blind rage is devoutly loyal to the Metallic Rainbow.
4. Imo's behaviour is stemmed from low self-esteem and a lack of love and support, and she is very unstable and doesn't believe in herself, which impacts her fighting skills.
5. Momo doesn't like things with sharp claws or teeth as they make her nervous.
6. Imo has no long term goals- she just wants to win, and then be better than all the other humans who despised her.
7. Imo rooms with Satsu, despite their age difference, because A) no one else would take her, and B) Satsu is the only Dark Mew that Imo is too scared to pester.
8. Imo adores sushi, and anything from under the sea.
9. Imo wishes she were taller.
10. Imo wishes that she could be more likable, and the knowledge that people don't like her only fuels her poor behaviour.
Work:
Imo loves training and fighting as a Dark Mew as it is a way to vent her rage and frustration, but she doesn't like the scouting missions or the strategy, preferring if they could just fight and not stop until one side falls.
History:
Imo grew up in a wealthy family as the youngest of four children. She was rather neglected as a child as her parents were busy worrying about her elder siblings while she was growing up. She was a rebellious child, getting into disagreements both verbal and physical with other children. She got fairly good grades but her interests were never in school, and she found peace in nature, particularly in the water. Her two older brothers are already married and her elder sister is engaged, which prompted her parents to search for a husband for Imo several years ago. No matter how many suitors they found, the young men always refused to maintain interest in their daughter, and the reason for this would become apparent on her thirteenth birthday. Imo always seemed to know what she wanted, so when she came out about her sexuality her parents knew that she was telling the truth...not that that meant they would accept it. They promptly threw her out of the house, disowning her and barring contact with her. With no money, no friends, and no life experience, Imo feared the worst, but she didn't have long to wait as she was picked up by Amber, who had been keeping her eye on the girl for awhile. After being turned into a Dark Mew by Copper, Imo threw herself into training and her rebellious nature exploded exponentially, making her selfish and conceited. She views her rescue by the Metallic Rainbow as the special treatment that she deserves.
Dark Mew Taro DNA: Giant Pacific Octopus
Appearance: Imo's eyes turn a dark crimson and her hair lightens to a lilac colour and is tied into two large pigtails. She retains her human legs but grows a living black and purple skirt of octopus tentacles.
Costume:
Imo wears a strapless purple bathing suit top and short black shorts underneath her tentacles. She wears knee-length purple boots trimmed with black and purple wrist length gloves with black bows. Her arm bands, choker and garter are all light purple trimmed with black.
Mew Mark: The outline of a seashell on her sternum.
Weapon(s):
Taro Trident - A purple three-pronged trident decorated with darker purple and black designs (AND A BOW!
)Attack:
Fusion Taro Whirlpool! : Sends a spiralling blast of energy that not only hits enemies but drags all caught by the attack together, enabling other Dark Mews to pick them off more easily.
Battle Strengths:
Energy: Imo is a very angry and determined girl, providing her with adrenaline in addition to her already high supply of energy.
Water Ability: Imo is a wonderfully strong swimmer, and can breathe underwater in her Mew form. Additionally, she can move incredibly quickly and smoothly through the water.
Limbs: Imo's extra limbs give her abilities that an ordinary octopus wouldn't have. Beyond the typical strangling powers of the tentacles, they also enable her to scale buildings, trees, and other objects.
Battle Weaknesses:
Self-Esteem: Imo's cockiness is all a show, and she is very scared of her own abilities as well as fear of getting hurt.
Immaturity: Imo isn't very experienced about the real world, and doesn't understand the gravity of the situation, or that her own problems are small in the grand scheme of things.
Now that I'm thinking about it, she's kind of an Ursula tribute. xD POOR UNFORTUNATE SOOOOOULS
