#the reason momo is koppaite is because pikmin 3 was my first pikmin game and i'm very fond of it

fuck it, Momo time

was born on Karut, as game states, but in actuality a child of Koppaite immigrants (second gen). As such, has a lot of both siblings (he's second oldest, has older brother and like 6 younger sibs of various genders) and cousins/uncles and aunties. despite that, barely keeps contact with any of them.

mid 20s, ended up enlisting in Rescue Corps by a lucky accident after several failed job searches.

trans AND autistic. wasn't diagnosed about autism until adulthood, had problems with ID change until Collin noticed and helped out with proper replacement procedure.

extremely autistic about biology (mainly zoology than botany), wanted to get xenobiologist degree but parents insisted on engineering (which he doesn't really use anyways). most of his research was done on his own in spare time.

as Koppaite, he does has frutarian preference in foodstuff, but is willing to try vegetables and meat on occasion - especially if they are sufficiently sweet.

mostly stays quiet when around people he doesn't know, speaks a lot around animals or alone. this habit is the reason Minmin's speech is much better than a regular Pikmin's, even tho they can't form proper sentences and even have troubles with pronunciation

dog lover. one time managed to befriend a family of stray dogs and brought them home begging parents to let him keep them. they've freaked out and forbade any unauthorized pets from now on, so Momo has been only feeding stray animals since then. was very afraid that captain Shepherd was going to take Oatchi away after being rescued, but after she assigned them to work together he was very relieved.

not the most creative when it comes to naming things. (nicknamed a weird mutation of a Winged Pikmin he found "Minmin" because "it's like two Pikmin in one" and Ancient Sirehound "Fluffy" because it is fluffy.)
