Plot[]
Momo is a princess of "Fenarinarsa", "the land of dreams in the sky". Fenarinarsa is the dwelling place for fairy tale characters. But it was in danger of leaving Earth's orbit and disappearing, because people in the earth lost their dreams and hopes. The king and queen of Fenarinarsa sent their daughter Momo to Earth to help them regain their dreams. Momo became the daughter of a young childless couple in the earth, accompanied by three followers with the appearance of a dog (Sindbook), a monkey (Mocha) and a bird (Pipil). On Earth, Momo takes the appearance of a teenaged girl. To help the planet regain its hopes and dreams, Momo transforms into an adult form of herself, with an occupation tailored to fit the situation (Airline stewardess, police officer, football manager, veterinarian). Each time Momo succeeds in bringing happiness to the person affected, a jewel appears in the Fenarinarsa crown. Once 12 jewels appear, Fenarinarsa will return to Earth's surface.
Later in the series, however, the task is left incomplete as she loses her magical powers and then her own life.

She gets killed in the series again, off camera, and reincarnated as a hero named Misty May, in a completely new show. She then finds out that she was momo the entire time and becomes fully aware that she’s an anime character, so she escaped and asked kindly for her ova series to end, making it only 2 episodes long.
