Even though Oni was inspired by Ghost in the Shell, Konoko seems to have been envisioned from the beginning as an aggressive, "gun in your face" action hero, unlike the impassive Motoko. An [[Oni/Early Story|early story]] for the game explained Konoko's mindset this way: "Konoko vows to destroy the Syndicate that killed her parents." Over the course of the story, she feels more "betrayed", "guilty", angry and "paranoid" until she finally kills essentially everyone in the game. | Even though Oni was inspired by Ghost in the Shell, Konoko seems to have been envisioned from the beginning as an aggressive, "gun in your face" action hero, unlike the impassive Motoko.

By contrast, the final game's Konoko is still emotional, but is also mostly in control of herself, even choosing to spare Griffin, if the player wishes. She also makes wisecracks while under pressure. Instead of a violent ending driven by her paranoia and need for revenge, we have an emotionally ambiguous ending where Konoko stops Muro's plan with a desperate, destructive action, without showing much of her feelings. | By contrast, the final game's Konoko is still emotional, but is also mostly in control of herself, even choosing to spare Griffin, if the player wishes.

Konoko was also stated in [[:Image:Unit_viewer-Konoko_2_unmasked.jpg|this development data]] to have an IQ of 203. While a high IQ is not mentioned in the final game, her behavior at times indicates that she is still very intelligent (examples given in the more detailed discussion [[Talk:Oni/Early_Story#.22Unit_Viewer.22_picture_1|HERE]]). | |||
