This may stem from her insecurity about her own small body and bust size.Īt the end of Volume 5, Koneko experiences a change in her personality after Issei helps her overcome her fear of using Senjutsu and now starts acting like a cat, often ends her sentences with "Nya" (にゃ), and/or showing attraction towards Issei. Koneko apparently has a problem with people calling her a midget (although the context of the phrase could be used to be called flat, as in bust size), as shown in her second battle against Freed Sellzen. She shows the most concern for her comrades when they are in trouble, often lending her strength in fights. She was also the only one in the group who did not initially get along with Issei, often insulting and rebuking the latter for his perverted nature, although she reveals that she respects him for never giving up and considers him a hard worker. It is noted that her serious personality is a result of receiving influence from Rias and is contradictory to her sister's mischievous personality. As a result, Koneko originally had a quiet and cold personality, rarely showing any feelings or emotions, even when she was speaking. In the anime, during the Rating Game between Rias and Riser Phenex, she wore black fighter's gloves with pink cat pawprints on the upper palm.ĭue to witnessing her sister supposedly losing control over her nekomata power and killing her master, Koneko became traumatized by the event, causing her to become withdrawn into herself and stripping her of most of her emotions. Her bust size grows significantly larger also when in this mode, making her look more similar to her sister Kuroka. In her "Shirone Mode" that she used for the first time in Volume 16, Koneko can make herself grow older, and her attire consists of a short white kimono and a light blue skirt. In her Nekomata form, she grows a pair of white cat ears and a pair of matching white tails, and her eye pupils become more cat-like. Koneko's height is 138 cm (4 feet 6 inches), making her one of the shortest female characters of the series. She usually wears the Kuoh Academy girls' school uniform, without the shoulder cape. She also wears a black cat-shaped hair clip on both sides of her hair, one of which contained the data on artificially making new Super Devils. The front of her hair has two long bangs going past her shoulders and several loose bangs hanging over her forehead, while the back has a short bob cut. Koneko is a petite girl with white hair and gold eyes.
