Momo Ayase

Momo's Appearance: Momo is a teenage girl of average height with medium-length auburn hair that mostly frames the right side of her face and brownish crimson eyes. She is noted by Okarun and a few other male characters to be quite attractive.

While she can be seen wearing a variety of outfits throughout the series, her most common attire is her school uniform: a white undershirt underneath a long sleeved light pink sweater with a loose red bow, a pleated navy blue skirt, baggy white socks, and brown loafers. Her overall attire matches with the kogal style worn by gyarus. She also includes green circular earrings and a black choker around her neck that has a circular green item at the back that matches her earrings, which is an accessory that she sticks to wearing at all times when choosing to wear different outfits.

Momo's Pesonality: Momo comes off as a bold, confident, and fierce young girl, as there have hardly been instances where she is intimidated by others. She carries a no-nonsense attitude and often loses her temper when angered, mainly when being slighted or having to deal with the shenanigans of her friends and allies. She is prone to lashing out violently in a comedic fashion at the person responsible for invoking her wrath, however, if realizing her outbursts have gone too far, she will show remorse. In addition, she is also susceptible to making insults, as shown by her occasional bickering with Aira.

At the same time, Momo is kind, friendly, and cheerful around others. Her genuine compassion and empathy make her the type of person who cannot ignore misdeeds being committed or turn her back on others who are in an unfortunate predicament, with Okarun being a great example. Although she did not know him at the time, Momo chose to step in and shield Okarun from a few bullies harassing him and was willing to help him be free of the Turbo Granny's curse in light of him not wanting to draw her into his mess. She also saw no reason not to form a friendship with him after the sudden events of their bet. When it comes to family and friends, Momo's fury can be directed towards anyone who offends them, especially if they cause them harm. Upon overhearing how Aira intentionally messed with Okarun's feelings when they first met, Momo retaliated by using her powers to drop a basin on her head, as well as make a snarky remark. Unlike her grandmother, Momo isn't opposed to asking her friends and allies for help. She can also lose her trust in people if they are greatly dishonest with her. Momo can also feel empathy for her enemies if she learns that they have redeeming qualities that is masked behind their wicked actions or if a tragic past led them to what they are.

Hailing from the way she generally carries herself with a bold attitude, Momo is fearless and strong-willed no matter what the odds are in front of her. In the few instances where her enemies had her outnumbered, Momo always showed no hesitation to stand her ground against them.

Abilities and Powers: Immense Durability: For a human, Momo has demonstrated an impressive amount of resilience. After the Flatwoods Monster furiously threw a barrage of punches that were devastating enough to create a crater on the wall behind her, Momo only came out with a few minor bruises and was well enough to move about after getting a few minutes rest later on. Momo was also able to come out unscathed from being kicked by Acrobatic Silky that sent her crashing and could remain on her feet after the yokai thrashed her around.

Stamina and Endurance: Aside from having great durability, Momo also possesses an impressive amount of stamina and endurance, being able to remain conscious long enough to defeat the Flatwoods Monster after taking on multiple devastating blows from the alien. She was also able to endure a thrashing from Acrobatic Silky and from being set on fire.

Great Tactical Intellect: Momo possesses high intelligence that has led to a few acknowledging her as a genius. Her intellect is notably demonstrated through her exceptional deductive skills and problem-solving abilities, qualities that make her a capable tactician. In the face of critical paranormal situations, Momo plays a key role in successfully helping her allies overcome these obstacles by using whatever information she can gain at the moment, along with her pre-existing knowledge, to devise ingenious strategies on the spot, which have led to successful outcomes. This was greatly demonstrated during the Daija Town Incident. By setting the Enjoji house on fire to alert the firefighters and have them use their hoses, Momo cleverly drove the Tsuchinoko from its subterranean hideout as the deluge of water expelled the cryptid from suffocation and succeeded in killing it from sunlight exposure. This strategy derived from her understanding of "worm suicide", a concept she learned from Jiji during their childhood. Following this, Momo deciphered the true meaning of the Great Serpent legend, a narrative that had been misunderstood for centuries, and swiftly took action in stopping the eruption of Daija Town's volcano by utilizing the Tsuchinoko's carcass as a conduit, connecting it to a geyser of hot spring water, causing the creature's phlegm to be expelled from its mouth and onto the lava to cool it.

Although Momo's tactics for defeating her opponents are clever, they are also reckless, often endangering her life to a great extent. Needing to avoid having Okarun suffer the effects of the talisman before putting it back on the torii gate to defeat the Flatwoods Monster, Momo chose to endure being battered into the wall embedded in the gate by the alien until a crater large enough for her and Okarun was formed to be on the outside, all while trying to suppress his curse. Another instance was her battle against the Hastur Kur, where she deliberately leaped into the alien's spatial carving to enter its pocket dimension and use her dimensional transcending psychokinesis to destroy the exosuit from the inside with her Moe Moe Tri-Beam.

Skill Set: Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Momo has demonstrated to be a capable fighter in melee combat, as she was able to hold her own against the Kito Family. During that fight, she also showed use of applying her psychic powers by drawing her opponent to her punches and kicks, as well as draw objects to her opponent's blind spot.

Okarun's Appearance; Okarun is a teenager of short height and slender build with brown hair (black hair in the anime), brown eyes and he wears round-frame glasses. Originally, Okarun's hair was fashioned in a bowl cut, but it has since become unruly after his confrontation with the Flatwoods Monster. Though he was initially very skinny, Okarun has gained toned muscles as a result of his dedication to strength training and the numerous battles he faced dealing with spirits and aliens.

Okarun's Personality: Okarun is a self-described socially awkward individual who has a consuming interest for the paranormal with his main focus being the existence of aliens and cryptids. This interest goes all the way back to his childhood where he tried to make contact with aliens in a desperate attempt to make friends, having grown up without a single one in his life due to constant bullying. As a result, Okarun developed an inferiority complex where he believes that he is incapable of fitting in with others or that people are better off not associating with him. Even after making friends with Momo Ayase, Okarun still seems to retain some low self-esteem. After Jiji stepped back into Momo's life, Okarun thought to himself that he could not compete with him when it came to being her friend based on his observation on how entertained Momo was being around him and had almost come close to ending his friendship with her as to not be a bother. According to Momo, Okarun's real problem with making friends was that he was too quick to make assumptions about others judging him, which resulted in him subconsciously keeping others at arm's length.

Okarun's Turbo Granny form: Okarun possessed the spiritual power of Turbo Granny after only the yokai's consciousness was extracted out of his body by Seiko and Momo. Initially, Okarun was only able to enter this mode while still being cursed by Turbo Granny and with help from Momo's psychokinesis powers to suppress the curse from his head, thereby allowing him to control his body. After the yokai's powers were accidentally left inside him, Okarun became able to enter the transformation willingly.

When accessing this power, Okarun's hair flared up and turned white, gained two thick vertical stripes across his eyes, and had a noticeable dark jaw mask with a row of multiple teeth. Underneath his clothing, Okarun's body was given a more muscular definition, while forcing his posture to become hunch-like, and the nails on his hands and toes became sharpened and black. The clothes he chose to wear were also slightly altered to become flame-like. Okarun's mental state also changed in addition to his physical, giving him a depressing personality and a strange tendency to say "yo" at the end of his sentences.

Seiko's Appearance: Despite being a grandmother, Seiko has the appearance of a slender woman in her prime. Seiko possesses long snow-white hair that she generally ties up in a large top knot, wears red rectangular glasses. She is a chain smoker and can almost always be seen smoking cigarettes. On top of her youthful appearance, Seiko has been noted for her beauty that she claims others might go so far as to describe her as being bewitching. Due to this, many have mistaken her to be Momo's mother and leave them in shock once they learn her true relation to the girl. In terms of height, she is shown to stand no taller than her granddaughter.

When out in public, Seiko wears a yellow open large button cardigan that reveals her cross-strap top, a blue baseball jacket that has white sleeves with a symbol on the back, hoop earrings, and sandals. When at home, Seiko is shown to wear a white tank top, shorts, a beige haramaki, and light grey arm warmers with matching thigh-high stirrups.

Seiko's Personality: Seiko has a phlegmatic personality and a highly uncouth manner of speech. At the same time, she is selfless and empathetic to help others in need if it's within her power, with the greatest example being her taking people into her house if they need a place to stay. As such, she follows the concept of "being in it together". Instead of accepting Okarun's generous compensation for looking after him while he was cursed by the Turbo Granny, Seiko told him that the only way he could repay her was to help other people who were in trouble. When involving herself with children, Seiko believes that, as an adult, she should be able to shoulder their burdens to allow them to be free to do what they want in life. Because of this, she felt saddened that she was unable to honor Jiji's wishes to help him keep the Evil Eye under control in order to spare the yokai from being exorcised. While willing to help others, Seiko is too proud to admit when she needs help herself or burden others with her problems, having at first refused Okarun and Mr. Mantis Shrimp's offer to help rebuild her house when it was in ruins after the Evil Eye's stay.

Seiko can also come off as being a bit immature, such times being when she joked about Momo having a crush on Okarun, due to him having the same name as Ken Takakura, and having her granddaughter make a Hiroshi Abe impression in exchange for having to buy her a new school uniform. Despite this and her unladylike way of speaking, Seiko can act polite if she feels that she has made a mistake that involves the well-being of others. This side of Seiko is seen as being rare and out of character to those who know her well. Though she claims that she has never been moved by emotion, Seiko subconsciously favors those who compliment her, such as her youthful appearance which she takes great pride in.

Turbo Granny's Appearance: The yokai took on the form of a very elderly woman with reddish brown wrinkled skin, long thick white shaggy hair, wide eyes with a yellow sclera and were stuck looked to the sides. When possessing her targets, she has her victims transform into a mirror image of herself, albeit with a large mouth with teeth that is capable of biting off body parts.

After having her consciousness extracted from Okarun, Turbo Granny is forced to inhabit a maneki-neko doll.

Turbo Granny's Personality: Turbo Granny is a yokai that acts cruel, sadistic, and is extremely foul-mouthed. She is also rather somewhat vulgar, as she offered Okarun a chance to suckle on her breasts in exchange for consuming his family jewels. Since she possesses impressive running power, Turbo Granny takes great pride in her speed and refuses to be underestimated. When challenged to prove herself, she is not above using trickery to get her way, having been deceitful with Okarun and Momo in their game of tag by counting irregularly. Despite her negative attitude, she is revealed to have a compassionate side, as Seiko stated that Turbo Granny would most commonly wander off to spirits of girls who died tragically in order to comfort them, which was the reason as to why she fused with the Earthbound Spirit Crab within Shono City.
