Mistaken for Dying: Momohime was assumed dead after being cut by Jinkuro.Merger of Souls: In her second ending Jinkuro does to Momohime what Senjyu did to Kisuke.During the events of Momohime's second ending, the two of them perish permanently, and the term Oboro is more commonly associated with a mysterious wandering female warrior that emerged from their feud. Irony: Senjyu and Jinkuro desperately clung to life to preserve the Oboro style of sword fighting.Instant Armor: The armor on her arms appears whenever Jinkuro possesses her.
Heroic Sacrifice: For all her supposed frailty, her story begins with her protecting Yukinojo from Jinkuro's sword strike with her body while thinking it would be a fatal attack.Hero of Another Story: Momohime and Kisuke can occasionally meet at hot springs, but other than in certain endings they don't directly interact with each other.Guile Hero: Momohime has a brief moment in Hell when she talks the Big Oni into swallowing her whole so she can be repossessed by Jinkuro, whose soul was eaten when she accidentally shoved him out of her body.
Fusion Dance: In her second ending, Momohime as Oboro is essentially a mesh of herself and Kisuke.Going Commando: Momohime was stated in an interview to not be wearing underwear.In the second ending she inherits complete mastery of the Oboro style after Jinkuro performs soul fusion with her and promptly hacks an oni to pieces with an heirloom blade. However, unlike Torahime, who's supposedly a great warrior but lacks the screentime that shows it, the real Momohime is never seen as an Action Girl within the game itself (in fact she's treated as a Butt-Monkey by many of the characters in the game, especially by her possessor and his cohort), and is only referred to as such by some NPCs who don't know the truth. When she's properly herself, she's an ordinary doll-like princess overwhelmed by the conflict she's forced into. The game got a lot of hype for having a male and female lead, but it's revealed almost immediately in her story mode that she's possessed by the spirit of a man when she's fighting. This is alluded to in the alternate 3rd endings of the game, in which Kisuke and Jinkuro, not Momohime, are sent back in time to change their fates during their respective endings, via the power of the Oboro Muramasa. The player character is not her and is actually Jinkuro possessing her body. The Cameo: In Hell's Where The Heart Is, Seikichi accidentally proposes to Rajyaki while trying to seduce Momohime.It seems to be a Running Gag that every man who meets Momohime either loutishly hits on her (in the case of the Comedy Commoners) or insults her (in the case of Jinkuro and Kisuke). Break the Cutie: A low-grade version that would be more akin to Butt-Monkey if Momohime wasn't always distraught over her predicament.However, doing so while being unrepentant will send her into a furious rage. Berserk Button: Betraying her trust can be forgiven.The children appear with Momohime in stylized artwork after the third ending's credits. Babies Ever After: In her third ending, it's explicitly noted that she lived to the ripe old age of 100 and had three children, whom she all loved and cherished, unlike her other endings where it was uncertain what happens to her after what's shown.Though it's purely political on his side, she doesn't seem to mind the idea. Arranged Marriage: Momohime has one with Yukinojo.This is exceptionally apparent in regards to her interactions with Yukinojo and Jinkuro. All-Loving Hero: Whether it's haughty deities, Yandere fox ladies, duplicitous fiancés, evil priests, or hermit demigods trying to kill her, she's more than willing to forgive them if they express remorse and is even eager to make helpful suggestions that could benefit all involved.Action Girl: As Oboro, she manages to kill a gang of demons with an old, heirloom sword.He plays it a lot cooler than most examples of this trope and just gets annoyed and explains that he got there first. Accidental Pervert: Momohime can walk in on Kisuke bathing in the hot spring.However, she is saved from death by Jinkuro, a sinister ghost who possesses her body to help in his quest for the Kuromitsu blade. The youngest daughter of the Kagami noble family, Momohime was fatally wounded in a mysterious attack on her family's manor.
