History
The Momobami Clan (Japanese: 百喰一族, Hepburn: Momobami-ichizoku) were a conglomerate of various branch families that were distantly related to each other.
Kirari Momobami had to leave the school in order to hold a meeting with the rest of the families, but she sent Ririka Momobami to pretend to be her. The families were very upset and discussed wildly about them losing money, which made Ririka tell them to shut up and exclaimed how worthless and greedy all of them are and that she is ashamed to be part of their family. She then invited them to the academy to challenge her and try to take her throne. Kirari had already planned to hold the election at that point, since she said the reason she must leave, was Yumeko Jabami practically taking over the school.
During the presidential election, after Kirari Momobami put her seat on the line, the children of the main families arrived at the academy. Because when she announced the winner would be the next head of the family, all the adults freaked out, finally seeing a chance to get rid of Kirari and sent their kids there. They plan to work together, to not only become president of the school, but also to banish Kirari from the family. Terano Totobami is leading the whole operation and is also most determined to beat her. She also brought Rei Batsubami there as a joker of sorts.
Overview
In appearance, the Momobami Clan were an extended family that operated in the world. They were also known as the Hundred Devouring Families due to their talent for consuming others into debt. Most of them are very wealthy as well as hold fair amount of influence over politics of the entire nation. Since the family is very politically influential, whoever becomes a leader instantaneously possesses immense power over the nation. With these high stakes involved, branch families hardly get along and are in constant state of hostility in order to secure more power for themselves. Many members of the family are being 'devoured' by others during gambling matches, meaning they lose everything, even including their own humanity. Most of the issues are solved through gambling matches, thus, most of the family members knew how to gamble since their early childhood.
All families specialize in different types of businesses, such as entertainment or medicine.
However, despite being related, they are hostile towards each other as they have no qualms in harming or even killing their competitive relatives. Members of the family were often defeated in clan's conflicts. When members are out of the money, the last thing they can bet is their humanity. While losing it, they become a livestock to the rest of the clan. They are not treated like humans anymore and have to serve to the main family and other branches. When someone gets banished from the clan, they become a member of the Batsubami family (×喰)” and lose their former names. All members of the Batsubami family get their hands marked with a tattoo to signify their low rank.
